Kami was great. My dogs looked so happy with her. She stayed at my house and I felt so comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. She even put our trash out on trash day! Highly recommend!!

Christina did great with my dogs and was very communicative throughout the process. Would love to have her dog sit for me again! :)

Our dog had a great time being watched by Morgan! She took wonderful care of him and was very respectful of our home. We’d gladly have her watch him again.

Trystine did great. I'd never had a house sitter before and the one I had booked previously ghosted 2 weeks before the booking, but Trystine stepped in and saved the day. Responsive to messages and respectful of your wishes and boundaries. My dog is shy and she gave him the patience he needed to adjust to her. Thank you.

My 2 senior dogs loved Maggie and Travis! We are grateful to have such a nice couple close to our home. They also responded quickly after my first inquiry on Rover and showed up short notice the next day. Very happy for our connection and will use them often.

Bella is fantastic! She had watched our 4 labs twice now, once for a weekend and once for 8 days. She managed a power outage at our house with cold weather and storms. She kept things going and kept my pups fed and cared for. I would recommend Bella to anyone and will invite her to our home again!!!!

About: Hello! From geckos, to young and elderly cats, birds, fish, and even dogs; I have cared for them all. I love animals to the point I worked at the Toledo Zoo! The quality of time and care given to your pets is important because they deserve the best while you’re away. I’m working evenings currently and during the day I have time to walk or do step in visits. From Tuesday to Thursday my time belongs to your pets! I am available all day to provide care. I provide care by checking on the basic necessities daily such as water and food (if you let food sit in the bowl only) and spot scooping litter boxes. I also set timers to keep on track of letting dogs outside to go to the bathroom or even when it’s time for a walk!

About: I've had pets of my own all my life as well as cared for others pets from my teen years to now. Now I do this full time. This is my job. It's what I do full time. All hours. I have a husband and 3 girls but now they're older and I can follow my dreams and can include them at times to play with pets. I will give your pet/s the love and care they deserve as well as listening to your instructions. Currently I only do pets sitting in my clients homes but we're expanding!

About: I am a sitter and walker who is very patient with all dogs, especially energetic ones. I love all animals, and because I am an athlete, I have lots of energy, so if your dog wants to run while we walk and play, I happily will! If they do not, I am always calm as well and will be patient with your dog. I walk my dog Charlie every day, and I also walk my sister's dog, Finn. I am always happy to go outside and get some fresh air. I play with Charlie as much as I can until he’s tired (which is literally never), and I always make sure he’s got plenty of water.

About: I have three pets of my own. Two rescue cats and one pound puppy. I have experience administrating medications from eye drops to diabetic shots. I work from home so am always available to sit in house or stop by multiple times a day. I’ve always been very good with animals and love spending my time with them. I am very excited to get to know you and your fur babies! I work remotely in sales so I am very flexible on times for visits and walks. This also allows me to stay in houses if it is needed or required! I would prefer to care for fur babies in the clients home as I have pets of my own. However we do have a very large back yard so if your dog needed a place to let loose and run around this could be accommodated!

Jennifer was great with our little guy. We got multiple updates each day as requested and our puppy was happy and healthy when we got home which is all we could ask for as neurotic dog parents:)
