“Rebecca did an awesome job with my two dogs. She brought them toys, let them run play, and exercise and they just loved her! She was great at sending me pictures and keeping me updated each time she was at my home. I will definitely use her services again! Thank you, Rebecca?”

4. Emily K.

“Emily was great & made sure my cats were taken care of while we were out of state! They all have a unique personality and she rolled with the punches very well! She assisted us with getting our diabetic cat, Phil, picked up for a surprise boarding visit and made sure he had all his supplies with him. Lil and Tommy were missing us but she made sure they were well fed and loved! I would recommend her and definitely use her service again! Overall a great first time Rover experience!”

About: I've had dogs growing up, five of them being German shepherds and the other four being a lab and two mutts and a dachshund. We currently have two German shepherds and I walk them a ton and I spend a lot of time taking care of them, and then we have a dachshund who I just rescued from the place I work at. The place I work does dog boarding/daycare/training. I am a kennel tech so I just take care of all the boarding and daycare doggies. And on the weekends I also take care of all the training dogs when/if the trainers are away. I have worked there for a year and absolutely love it. I have had to deal with so many different dogs and their personalities and I've definitely learned to have a ton of patience with the job. I have been working in general since I was 14. I started at some neighbouring farms, doing farm work so I could ride their horses and earn some money. I then did a couple restaurant jobs and then found the place I currently work at. I have done dog sitting and cat sitting before many times, sometimes for family or friends of family who I don't know but I am happy to help out. The most I have dealt with at one time was seven dogs in total. I have watched people's dogs get trained while at work and I have been trained to use an e-collar and a prong collar so I am able to use those correctly! I really love my job, it means a lot to me I get to be in that environment and I'm depended on to keep them all safe and happy. I am currently on winter break from college so I'm free all of this month and half of next month. I work mostly on weekends. At home I spend time walking the dogs mostly and hanging around the house with them. Every client I feel is different in how things are done at their home, so however you take care of your pets I'll follow


6. Laci H.
“Laci cared for our dog for an entire week as well as several weekends. Laci is a caring and attentive caretaker. She gave my dog extra attention and belly scratches while we were out of town. Ellie really misses us when we’re gone and can become anxious. Laci was so patient with her and helped her remain calm while we were gone. We are able to have a worry free vacation and know that Ellie is in good hands while in Laci’s care. We will continue to trust Laci to care for our dog in the future.”


7. John B.
“I would highly recommend John as a dog sitter for anyone! John does a fantastic job with animals and would be a great fit for anybody as a dog sitter! He is responsible, caring, and always puts forth his best effort in anything and everything that he does! There are not many people that I would trust with my pets, but I know that I can definitely trust John!”


8. Jennifer & Brad S.
“Jennifer has been a consistently reliable pet sitter for my two cats. She's definitely an animal lover! I love that she texts me and sends pictures of my fur babies while I'm away. You can't go wrong with Jennifer taking care of your animals - she has a real knack for making them comfortable just as you would!”


9. Veronica M.

“Veronica really loved on & played with my pets!!! She was prompt in answering my sitter request and has extremely fair price. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I have fostered cats and dogs since 2016 and have always had dogs growing up. I am in training to become a licensed veterinary technician. I have worked in veterinary practices since 2018. I have a lot of experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, and farm animals. I am currently a full time student as well as working in a veterinary clinic.

“Sarah has been taking wonderful care of our rescue! Our guy has been working through separation anxiety and, thanks to Sarah’s drop-ins, he’s gaining confidence. ❤️ She has been so patient with him! Highly recommend”


12. Serena L.
About: I have had had almost every type of animals there is from hamsters to horses! I am currently in college to become a vet tech. I have been walking dogs as a side job but I’m working to build a bigger clientele. Currently I am doing classes online so I am available almost anytime. I already walk dogs once a week but I am hoping to get more work as I’m working to make this my main job. I baby my pets a lot they are very spoiled and I will treat yours the same! My dog gets walked twice a day and is very pampered with regular grooming. My cat gets a lot of treats and has at least 2 long play sessions and I go to see my horse who unfortunately doesn’t live in my backyard almost everyday to groom her and ride. All of my animals stay up to date on vet visits and any other needs.


13. Cierra B.
About: I’ve dog sat for family, friends, & many more! I absolutely love animals, let me love yours for a day or 2! I’ll send you pictures of your doggo’s throughout, & make sure the house is tidy for you guys to come home to! :) I’m currently working as a waitress/dog grooming assistant to help me pay for nursing school! The longest I will ever work is 8 hours. I wake up to go go the bathroom as night, so it is no issue for me to let your animals outside as well! I care for dogs by giving them love! While their owners are gone, their biggest necessity is love & care till you are home. I love taking them for walks, playing with them, & the simple, but most important, giving them cuddles!


14. Isabella B.
About: I fell in love with animals at a young age when I bonded tightly with the old family cat at the time and was devastated when she passed. A few years later I got a cat I could call my own, who is a little more aloof but just as lovey when he wants to be. We also have a mini chihuahua who recently has claimed me as his "hooman" and who I love to play and roughhouse with. I have also been gaining a lot of care experience with the TCHS, where I volunteer at most weekends, which has been teaching me a lot about different animal personalities and the best way to care for the animals present there. I am sitting because I truly love animals and prefer earning money for college and drum corps doing something I love. I work part time at an office job from 9-3:30 on Mon-Thurs, so those hours are set in stone. When I can, I volunteer at TCHS from 10-4 Fri-Sun, but I can certainly petsit during those times if need be. I can even petsit on weeknights and evenings after my office job. I will not accept pet dropoffs at my house since we have two other pets there already, and I'm certain that my family would not be pleased if I brought over another animal. I would do most of anything you would ask me to do to care for your pet. I'm not so experienced on giving medication, orally or intravenously, but I would be willing to learn to keep you worry-free. How I play and stimulate your pet depends largely on your pet's personality and preferences. My cat mainly loves to lay around and cuddle, but also loves to play fetch with yellow NERF dart balls! And the chihuahua loves to rough house play, so I constantly adapt to their wants and preferences. I have a more relaxed and chilled personality so if your pets don't like too much movement or rambunctiousness, then we'll get along together perfectly! I like to give cats and dogs a break from louder, more energetic folks and be a safe, calm haven for them.


15. Kelsey S.
“Kelsey has always had a gift with animals. Whether she is training horses or dogs she has always loved and cared for any animals she comes across. Dogs are crazy about her..she would be an excellent Rover ambassador!”


16. Shane S.

“I was very skeptical to hire outside of family and friends but am so happy I found Shane! Shane scheduled a meet and greet with me at my home to become familiar with my cats and their needs. A week leading up to my trip, he confirmed we were still scheduled to need his assistance, and provided daily updates/pictures while we were away. I cannot recommend Shane enough and happy I've found a trusted pet sitter in my absence. Thank you, Shane!”


17. Sierra W.
About: Hello! I don’t own any pets, but I absolutely adore animals of all kind! I love being outdoors so your animals will always get fresh air :) I’m pretty flexible, but like to stick to a schedule. I’ve been walking dogs off and on for two years. I grew up around animals my whole life, owning dogs and cats. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me! I am ver easy going, and can’t wait to meet you and your beloved pets 😁 I don’t smoke or have children. I accept communication through the app, or even outside of that app. I don’t have any concerns with animals being on furniture either. I do reside in an apartment, but animals won’t be an issue. I work from home so your pets get attention all day! The week is filled with walks and other outdoor activities if they like that type of thing. We’re always on time with feedings, no need to worry there! I love walking so your fur babies will get plenty of exercise if they also enjoy walking!


18. Mayson M.
About: I’ve taken care of babies and animals since I was a child myself! I have lots of love to give. I know how hard and stressful it can be to find good child care and pet care. I know how hard it is to trust others with your babies. With me, your little loves are safe and taken care of! I want to make this my full time job. So I try to have the most of open availability as I possibly can to take on as much love as I can! I do as directed! I can walk your babies, I can feed them, I can administer medications, even subcutaneously. I can make sure they’re happy and well observed and taken care of!
