Madison is absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our two dogs while we were away, kept everything running smoothly, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in such good hands. Highly recommend!

Rachel was incredible! She was able to help me out with short notice and do several drop in visits for my three dogs…they loved the attention and play time. She truly does care for them like they are her own. Rachel is very reliable and responsible and experienced with caring for dogs. I couldn’t be happier and feel more secure leaving my pets in her care while I am away. Thank you!

There are not even words for how wonderful of a pet sitter Sarah is! This was my first time using rover and I was very hesitant but Sarah has gained life long customers. Our cat is hesitant of newcomers and took right to her. She is so attentive and sends the best in detail daily updates with adorable pictures. I can’t recommend her enough and we are so thankful to have found her on rover!

The fact the our cat Chloe came out of hiding when Samantha, a new person to Chloe, came by to take care of her and feed her says a lot! Samantha kept us up to date as well with pictures during her half hour visits. It helped also that Samantha was able to come by twice to meet Chloe before the weekend when we would be gone. We were very happy with Samantha and look forward to hiring her again in the near future.

About: I have had pets of all kind, from cats, to dogs, to birds. I can run with high energy dogs or I can take my time with senior animals. I make sure safety is my top priority when caring for animals. I work full time, so I only accept requests when I know I’ll have plenty of spare time to make sure they’re loved and cared for!! I provide well rounded care to all animals, making sure I respect their desired level of attention. I ensure to follow any measures to ensure their safety, including crate care, gates being locked, etc. I love all animals and I prioritize their safety and happiness.

About: I've worked as a trainer for Petco for 3 years, and have started my own training business for one. Road Dog Training! I'm always looking to improve your quality of care with your furry friends. I can do minor sitting during the week in the afternoons. Weekend are more open to overnights if necessary. All needs can be discussed upon request. I will hear your wishes and needs. I'm also willing to discuss any training questions you may have. Love to get to know you and your pet better for the best care.

About: Hello! I'm Jenny. I've been around animals my whole life from growing up on a farm and owning my own horses to raising puppies and kittens. In 2013, I took and passed a vet-tech certification program through a local accredited college. Although some details may be out of dated the general practices remain the same. I will always respect your wishes as I know you care about your babies as much I care about mine. I also have experience with chickens, fish (tank & pond), horses, reptiles, small animals, and birds. I'm also a huge fan of gardening and plants. I work from home with a flexible schedule. I'm normal able to leave the house by 630/7 am and do a 'last out' (as we call it) at 930pm. And it's always nice to take a mid-day break for a walk. My animals have fairly loose rules but that's because we spent years training. How I care for your animals will be dependent on your requests. However, I would feel more comfortable walking your dog on a leash if you don't have a fenced in yard, and one at time. I'm always ready for snuggles and playtime!

About: I’ve been taking care of all different types of animals from lizards to ferrets to turtles and, of course cats and dogs since before I can remember! All of my life I’ve had and taken care of happy and healthy fur babies of my own that I treat with the utmost love, care, and attention so I’ll definitely treat your fur baby like my own as they should be treated. I’m currently a stay at home mom and I go to school online but outside of that I love taking care of my fur babies and other fur babies as well and have free time and availability to do so! My routine consists of starting the day at 7/8am and taking pup for walks, swimming, the dog park etc. and if you choose me for your pet sitter your baby (unless different needs must be met) will accompany us for a fun-filled day!🥰 I can do all day sits or overnight stays at your home. Or if you prefer me to do drop-ins to your home id be more than happy too! Whatever makes you and your precious fur baby happy.:) Note: I do have a 3.5 year old who usually accompanies me with my regular clients. If you choose me as your sitter this is good to note because I will only be able to be solo on some weekends. She has been around multiple different types of animals big and small since she was born. She is good with being gentle and knowing her boundaries but I recognize she’s still young so I can assure you constant supervision will be had for the safety of your fur baby and my baby. At my home, I also have a boxer who loves small dogs as well! They will be in great company. At your home, I will provide your pet and home with the utmost love and care. I will also be sure to provide you consistent updates to keep your mind at ease because I know how worrisome it could be leaving your fur babies behind and you want to be sure they are being taken care of. So I’ll be sure to show you just that!

My husband and I were able to go away for the weekend with extreme confidence that Patches would be well-cared-for. Jessica and Alex were warm and friendly and we could see that Patches liked them very much. We loved the photos and the map showing his walks. We would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and will definitely use her again. Thank you.

Exceeded my expectations for sure! Madison was thoughtful and made sure to go above and beyond what was requested. She took care of my 4 furbabies amazingly and gave thorough reports daily with multiple pictures. Really took a weight off my shoulders and couldn't be happier with her services.
