“Robert was so great! He had frequent and detailed reports with lots of pictures! It was nice keeping in touch! He was also very accommodating and flexible which gave me so much comfort for Lulu. He certainly went above and beyond! I will be booking him again for sure!”


“Courtney provided excellent care for my two fur babies over the weekend while I was out of town. She was reliable, on time, gave my dogs their scheduled medication’s twice a day, gave them frequent potty breaks, played with them outside, and gave them lots of snuggles while I was away. Having her stay with my fur babies really made me feel at ease about going out of town. I also loved the fact that she would send me updates throughout the day with pictures.”


“I absolutely recommend Gabrielle. She took terrific care of my 4 beloved doggies in my home for 4 days. I feel so fortunate to have been able to find someone who is so caring, conscientious and responsible......and, right before Thanksgiving, no less! My dogs & I are so pleased we booked her again in December. Thank you so much!”


“This was my first time using Rover and leaving my sweet pup, Scout. I was already nervous about leaving her and the weekend before my trip, Scout got injured. I was an absolute wreck but Ariel took such great care of Scout, followed all of the crazy instructions I left for her, administered the medication properly, sent me updates and pictures every day, and really loved on my pup just like I would have. My mind was at ease knowing Ariel was with my girl. I will 100% be rebooking Ariel for all of my future trips.”


About: My specialties are playtime and my attentiveness. I will bathe/drop off for grooming, walk, play with, feed, and snuggle your pets as if they were my own. I’ve cared for animals since childhood, gaining experience with many personality types. That’s taught me patience, intuition, and how to make pets feel safe and loved. I’m currently Active Duty Air Force and will have lots of time with your pet :) My windows for boarding opens from 11am-1pm and then again from 4:30pm-6pm on week days. On weekends I will be available from 9am-5pm I have a decently sized, fenced in backyard, plenty of room for your dog to safely run around or for your cat (if harness trained) to sniff and explore :) In my house, your pet would be fed along with mine at 6:45am before work, I’d return for lunch at 11 to feed lunch (will skip if specified) let your dog out/scoop litter boxes, and then after work your babies get more of my full undivided attention by playing with them and cuddling them, watch TV with them, making sure they are 100% comfortable in my care. After Dinner we will wind down for bed and your pup would be crated for the night :) If I’m pet sitting at your home, I will follow the rules that you have for me to do for your pet and ensure they are taken care of✨

About: I been around pets my whole life. I love walking dogs for exercise and being with animals. My fav time is to play fetch with dogs and to have a personal relationship with the pets I take care of. I have a fenced back yard that will keep your pet safe. and plenty of space outside and inside the house for them to run around and stay healthy. I have 2 kids in the house 9 years old and 12 years old.I have own 1 to 2 dogs at a time and in the past I owned cats, birds, fish. I live near shaw so military family's are welcome. Would love the opportunity to take care of your pet. I would love to have a chance to walk or run with your dog and have a fun time. WALKS MAINLY IN THE MORNINGS AND LATE AFTERNOONS. I'm off Sundays and Mondays and get off at 4:00 p.m. he other days, but I have family to help me out if it's during the day I have a large fenced in yard to take care of your pets needs. I have many toys for the dogs to play with. I love playing with my dogs.

“Violet was amazing with ares and Athena!! Keeping me up to date with them and even making them little treats. The dogs will definitely be excited next time I leave cause I’ll definitely try to book violet again in the future!!”



“If I could give Jenny 10 stars I would! The moment she picked my dog Maggie up, I knew she was in good hands. She kept constant communication and provided updates, pictures and videos the entire time. I can’t begin to express how much she’s exceeded our expectations. Jenny is the best and our new go to girl!”


About: I have cared for dogs all ages. From puppies to elder. I even have a few furs myself. I love animals and will treat them with the upmost care I am off on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays. I work part time also flexible with animal care parents on those days off if need be. I have an outside kennel, a decent back yard area for little walks and play time. I have an extra inside cage that holds up to medium size animals. They are cleaned every use with kennelsol because animal safety is very important. I will ask what the of dog food you prefer for your pet this way they can stay on any diet they are on. I won’t need any animal bowls unless you wish to bring them for the animal. I will go and get them personal use bowls for their stay and future stays if willing to use services again.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background as a veterinary assistant and my years of experience in pet sitting. I currently work in an emergency veterinary clinic, which has given me a strong foundation in handling a wide variety of medical situations with calmness and confidence. I’m skilled in senior pet care, medication administration, and monitoring for signs of illness or stress—especially important for pets with chronic conditions. I'm also experienced with puppies and understand how to support them through house training, socialization, and routine-building using positive reinforcement. When it comes to cats, I’m particularly attentive to their unique needs and sensitivities. Whether it's managing stress in shy or senior cats, giving medications (including insulin or subcutaneous fluids), or simply understanding feline body language to ensure they're comfortable and secure, I prioritize creating a calm, cat-friendly environment. I know how to care for both the affectionate lap cats and the more independent or anxious types with patience and respect for their space. All of this allows me to offer pet care that is both compassionate and informed—tailored to each animal’s individual needs. I'm currently working full time but I work 3 days and am off for four. I would have plenty of time to spend with your babies and make sure that they receive the utmost amount of care. My two pups are very friendly and love to pawty with other pups when they can! My knowledge in first aid and cpr when it comes to pets (including rodents and reptiles) makes me feel ready for any situation.

Kirsten E.
“My name is Branford 3rd, and Kirsten brother, I can tell you firsthand that if you're looking for someone truly special to care for your furry family members on Rover.com, Kirsten E. is absolutely the right choice. Kirsten has always had an incredible connection with animals. Growing up, our house was practically a zoo, and she was always the one who could calm a nervous cat, get a shy dog to play, or even get our more unique pets, like our peacocks, and chickens, to warm up to her and thrive under her care. It's not just a job for her; it's a genuine passion. A Nurturing Touch for Every Creature What makes Kirsten stand out is her unwavering dedication and gentle nature. She's incredibly responsible and pays close attention to every detail, from specific feeding instructions to making sure your pet gets their favorite belly rubs. You can trust her to not only follow your routine perfectly but also to provide that extra level of love and individualized care that makes all the difference when you're away. I've seen her in action with countless dogs and cats, and they just adore her. She treats every animal as if they were her own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. She'll keep you updated, give them plenty of playtime, and make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible while you're gone. You'll be able to relax knowing your beloved companions are in the best hands possible with Kirsten.”
