“James and his sweet family took excellent care of Maggie! I have never left her except with a friend who knows her well. That now will change as I feel so confident she was well cared for as the many pictures sent and neighbors commenting! One neighbor saw James wiping her paws before coming into the house! How awesome is James!!! ❤️”

“Breanna is so sweet! Scotty loves her and I feel so much better knowing he’s taken care of. The fun photos if their playtime together were the icing on the cake.”


“Elizabeth was my first rover sitter and I was so so impressed. She came over A-day early to meet my animals because my dog can sometimes be difficult around new people. Very patient and loving with him and when she did her drop in she would send me loads of photos videos and a written report on what happened during the visit. She was amazing with my rat Zin and the kitties and her videos always made me laugh. She was a previous vet tech at my vet so I felt very reassured of my zoos care of something should happen. She is wonderful and I had such peace of mind leaving my animals in her care. 15/10 stars”


About: Dogs and I get along very well. I’ve had dogs all my life, and I have been responsible for their care and training throughout their lives. I have also gotten a lot of experience doing photography with dogs, which can be difficult, and I worked at green leaf pet resort taking care of dogs in a laid back but structured environment. I love taking care of dogs, and as I am not in a position to own a dog currently due to my living situation, I would happily share my love of animals with your dogs, seeing that all their needs are met, and that they are truly living their best life. Please reach out to me if you want someone who will truly put your dogs needs first. Thank you My schedule is flexible but requires creativity. I am always happy to find time to take care of someone’s pups. I love dogs more than jobs Generally dogs get along with me immediately, but for any who require a gentle touch or are nervous, I take the time to show them that I’m a caring friend.

About: I've had animals as a part of my life for almost ALL of my life. Three cats who lived good long lives and 5 dogs (3 from pups and two rescues). This doesn't even mention the greater family tree with tons of cats and dogs around. I'm the person that chills with the animals at the party. I have a lot of time to take care of your small furry child. I have a few meetings through the week but lasting only 3 hours, I can run back at any point to lavish your pet in love and attention. Due to the nature of our rescue at home, I'm well rounded in procedures and safety precautions. Any routines or needs your baby has, I can and will accommodate. I'm on alert to make sure everyone is happy and copacetic.

About: I’ve grown up in a household with lots of animals. I put 10 years of experience because that’s when I was old enough to take care of them on my own; but have been around animals all my life! I currently reside with 1 daschund, 2 pit bulls & 1 mini australian shepherd. I have experience with those breeds as well as poodles , boxers, and german shepherds. I’ve even sheltered turtles, fish, deer, snakes and hedgehogs ! For specific times shoot me a message we can figure it out! Primarily can work around your schedule. I am busy 10am-7pm Sunday , Monday and Tuesdays I would much prefer to come to your home and care for you animal as it makes them feel more familiar and comfortable. My home is currently under renovation so it is not a place for other animals. Thank you for your understanding.

About: Seeing a dog can turn the worst day into a happy one! Shared responsibilities with our family golden retriever for duration of his life, and I love making them feel appreciated, cared for, and satisfied with all of the attention and pets they want! I’ve been known to get our dogs to take their medicine in creative ways! Dogs big and small are welcomed! I’m a full time elementary school teacher, so I have a consistent schedule and availability during most holidays, breaks, and weekends outside of weekday afternoons. Depending on location, first visits can be done starting at 4pm any given day. Stopping by to see your loved ones after a long work day would be my pleasure! Due to my job as a teacher, my Friday boarding availability begins at 4:30pm until summer unless noted below: With our home recently pet-free, we have the ability to board animals in our home. We live near a dog park, a great walking trail, and a chance to board multiple pets at once if needed. During drop in visits, I can be quick and efficient, or spend time playing, walking, or making sure your friends are set up perfectly while they’re home alone. However your pet would like to be interacted with works for me! I can also offer litter box scooping for cats or helping give medications orally for cats or dogs.

About: I have a raging love for animals and I’m fascinated by them. I have taken care of a lot of young kids and been around many animals! I love to take care of people and animals and would love to take care of yours! I am a college student and work at the same time so I can do weekends, Mondays after 2:30, Tuesdays before 2, Wednesdays after 5:30 and Thursdays after 2 I can keep your fur baby company and keep them safe in the environment they are in! Most likely, they will be in the client’s home, meaning I can take care of them as similarly as possible to how you do!

“I found Adriana to be a genuinely concerned, personable and intelligent sitter/companion to Kali ( the Calico) while I was away. She made it a point to befriend Kali and sent pictures every time she visited. I will definitely ask her to sit, the next time the need arises.”

Andrew B.
“Andi did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Maven, who is a large breed & hyper ball of energy! Maven can be quite a handful, but Andi managed him so well. His patience and understanding of Maven's high energy were impressive, and I could tell my dog was in great hands.”


Sydney T.
“Sydney has taken care of our now 5 year old Australian Shepherd since we brought him home as a puppy! She is very caring and responsive. Our dog looks forward to her arrival!!”


Joseph A.
“I have known Joey for over 15 years, and he is a wonderful, compassionate, hard-working human. He has provided excellent care when boarding my high energy, 80 pound fur baby. I am always cautious when booking care for my dog because he has a habit of getting into stuff when he is bored, which can be destructive or dangerous. When my dog was boarded with Joey, I knew he would be kept safe! Joey walked him regularly, kept him safe, and made him feel right at home with snuggles. He was happy to provide an update whenever I was missing my pup and he sent plenty of pictures! I absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pup. I would absolutely board my dog with him again.”


Mahek P.
“Every single time Mahek sees a pet she automatically tries to see if she can pet them. She is a genuine animal lover through and through. She has dog sit for me on multiple ocassions before, and every time she puts in so much effort to make sure my pup is happy and active. Sometimes I think my dog likes her more than me! But I love her dearly and I would trust her with my pet anyday and you guys should too!”

She visited them twice on Christmas Eve on short notice. She is wonderful and I will not hesitate to use her services again. Thank you, Ann

Kevin took such great care of our dog Griffin when we were out of town. Griffin took to Kevin immediately, which helped put my mind at ease while I was away. Kevin was very communicative and left really thoughtful and helpful details on Griffin’s report card. We will definitely be reaching out to Kevin whenever we need a sitter for Griffin. Thank you again!
