“I am so happy I had Makenzie watching my kitten while I traveled for the holidays. She was on time, communicated perfectly (photos, videos, and real-time updates), and did everything I requested and more (feed, play time, clean, took out trash)! It brought me a lot of peace knowing my cat was being cared for so well all week and I am happy to have someone I can trust to visit my home. Looking forward to booking Makenzie for trips in the future! Makenzie—thank you so so much!!!!!”

12. Melanie P.
About: I've loved dogs ever since I was a little girl and grew up with a black lab and golden retriever. I'm very comfortable with dogs of all sizes. And in recent years, I've had experience taking care of my grandfathers cat, so both feline and canine friends are welcome! Right now I want to make pet sitting my full time job. If you are a frequent traveler and do not want to board your dog or your schedule as gotten more busy than usual, I would love to help take care of your pet(s) while you are away. In my home and in others, I've always provided toys, treats, and whatever other items your pet loves to play with at times when the dog or cat can be entertained themselves for a little bit or supervised but most importantly I am able to anticipate their needs for taking them outside, playing, resting, feeding, and more. For their exercise and mine I love to walk them around any nearby park, hiking trail, town center, or whatever is around where you live! I also have experience with my own black lab & golden retriever in giving topical and oral medication for things such as tick/heart worm prevention, and ear infections.
13. Ruth J.
“FANTASTIC! Ruth is an angel. First time dog mom and rover user so to say I was anxious would be an understatement. Also to note, this was the first night I had to leave my 10 week old puppy alone for the night and Ruth not only did a fantastic job in taking my puppy out to do his duties but she played with him as well. She has gone above and beyond my expectations and I truly can’t thank her enough. She has eased my worries completely, she responds in a very fast and timely manner. Not once did I feel like she was annoyed at me or my questions. Ruth is the very BEST! THANK YOU!”
14. Alassandra G.
“I'm always so happy when Alassandra can watch Kitty! She's extremely reliable and I feel very comfortable that she's taking care of my baby while I'm away!”
15. Josh A.
“Josh did a great job with everyone for our night away. He took special care of our Shepard who is going through some skin issues. Thanks again!”
16. Laura D.
“Laura is great with our puppy! Laura is ontime for visits, she provided detailed updates and pictures! My puppy was so happy with Laura!! Recommend!! ❤️”
17. Tasha E.
“Tasha took amazing care of my cat, Daisy, and I couldn’t be happier with her service! She was incredibly attentive, making sure Daisy felt comfortable and loved while I was away. Tasha kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Her genuine love for animals and dependable nature make her an outstanding pet sitter. I highly recommend Tasha to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet care!”
18. Jennie P.
“Jennie is wonderful with dogs! She has cared for our dog and several of our friends dogs on many occasions over the last 10 years or so. She is reliable and spends time playing with the dogs, not just watching them. You can see she just loves being around them. I can't say enough good things about her, and I would highly recommend her if you are looking for someone responsible to help take care of your pet.”
19. Sowatey L.
“He took great care of Mika and made sure that there were no ticks on her after the walk. Besides that, Sowatey was nice, friendly, and took note of Mika’s personality around other dogs”
20. Bethany D.
“I trust Beth to love my dog like her own! She’s known her since we first brought her home and I trust her to take care of her when I’m at work and can’t be home. My dog is always excited and happy to see her and play. She also helps me take care of my cat, my cat is grumpy and hates everyone but loves attention from her”
