“Jessica is the best! She's super trustworthy and kind. My senior cat, Watson, fell in love with her. Jessica wrote great reports about her visit each time she came & she took excellent care of him & kept me posted with photos. When I returned home from my trip, Watson was relaxed and content which made me so relieved. I recommend Jessica!”


“Took great care of our two cats on drop-in visits! Lots of pictures and good communication, we would love to book Kendra again.”


About: Hi! My (preferred) name is Daisy & I've been taking care of dogs ever since we adopted my very first canine best friend in 2011! Friends and family have trusted me to take care of their fur babies and I've been handling & working with dogs almost every day for almost two years as a doggy daycare attendant, kennel staff, special pup advisor, and group coordinator. I love taking them on walks and practicing sits, stays, downs, give paws, etc... I absolutely love all animals and promise to take care of your babies as if they were my own! I currently work part-time so I'll have plenty of time to check in on & spend with your pets! I'm available Saturdays before 12pm, Sundays all day, & most holidays before 3pm. Weekday hours vary and I will always be super transparent about my availability! Your pets' safety is important to me so please feel free to leave detailed instructions and I will follow them to a T. I will also keep consistent contact with you, providing (p)updates with photos! I can crate your dog(s) if needed as well. I'm also Red Cross animal first aid certified. I've handled several scuffles and am able to remain calm in any situation that may arise. Your pet will always be safe with me!

“I am so happy with my 1st experience with Collen and the Rover app. Cullen was very professional and reliable and was willing to communicate with me regarding my dogs special needs. I would recommend her anytime and I will definitely be using her again.”


“Kelsey took great care of our kitty boys (and was very kind to agree to care for them at the last minute!). She was great at providing us updates and sending pics while we were away, and I know my 2 cats liked her because we came home to happy kitties :) Would highly recommend Kelsey!”


“Great job!”


“Rhiannon was really great with my cat! She did daily feedings and spent extra time playing with her, and sent me pics daily. I would definitely hire her again.”


“This was my first time leaving my cat at home and having someone check on him, so I was a bit nervous. I was immediately put at ease when I met Erica. I was gone for 10 days and it's clear Erica took great care and doted upon my beloved cat whilst I was gone, he was happy and relaxed when I returned home.”


“Jacqueline gets a very high recommendation from us. She is dependable and took great care of our two cats while we were away for several days. I hope we are lucky to get Jacqueline again for our pet sitting needs!”


About: I absolutely adore animals but especially dogs, I worked at a dog kennel for a year, which has helped me to gain experience around dogs of any and all different sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments/requirements. I have been dog sitting/walking and doing overnight stays for 3 years and take great pride in taking care of your pet as if they’re my own! I am working part time at a kennel right now, however my shifts are very short (5 hours max but typically 2.5-3 hours). I get my schedule on a week to week basis, so if you want to guarantee that I have the availability to watch your pup, let me know at least 2 weeks in advance and I will happily request off from work to help you out (please still feel free to reach out even if its less than 2 weeks in advance, I likely will still be able to help you out). Having such short shifts, im available for pop-ins and walks the majority of the day, however there should be no problem with staying overnight as my latest shift is from 8:15-9:15pm at the kennel for let out. I will care for your pet as if it’s my own to ensure their safety and enjoyment for the time I am with them, as well as making sure your home is safe while you are away. I will follow any and all instructions that are given to me to guarantee everything runs smoothly and that your pup has a great and safe time!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life thanks in part to my grandmother who ran a dog grooming and pet rescue. I’ve babysat and owned a handful of different breeds with a variety of temperaments. Everything from miniature dachshund, chihuahuas to larger pups like border collies, chow-chows, and more. If your pups are especially food motivated I can teach them a handful of useful skills if needed. My wife and I are both remote and work flexible schedules which means your pup will have plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Additionally, we have two mini Aussiedoodles who love most other dogs and would give your pup plenty of time socialize. Making sure our pups are good fit together would be an important factor to us. My wife and I live on acre of land, with a quarter acre of that being fenced in and a dogs dream, just ask our two mini Aussiedoodles. There’s plenty of space for your pup to run around and exercise.


About: I have a big house with room to run and play. I'm happy taking care of the puppies and dogs that aren't quite fully potty trained. My family dog in Florida is not spayed so I have experience with females in heat. I don't mind cleaning up messes because the house is all mine. I have 2 small dogs living with me that are very spoiled. My little Einstein has allergies so I buy him special food, shampoo, conditioner, etc to help with his itchy skin. He is a quiet little one who loves meeting new pups. My little Lola loves to cuddle and chew on her bone. You can be certain that your dog will be spoiled too. I also have 2 cats, Harley and Quinn, who have their own room where they love to play. As for me, I'm a Preschool Teacher. My work is right down the road so I come home and let my dogs out during lunch. My dogs go out every couple hours when I'm home. Spending time with my dogs and cats is probably one of my greatest joys.

“Melissa is absolutely fantastic! She takes great care of our girls (cats). They both love her, and always happy to see her, which is a rarity for them. We always appreciate the attention she gives to them.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and sometimes cats for 3 years at a few daycares and boarding facilities. I love animals and would love to provide care for them!

About: I've always grown up around dogs and I have always had a deep love for animals in general. At my dads house, we've had a dog since as long as I can remember. When I was 5 we got a puppy at my dad's house and I would feed him, take him on walks, and play with him all the time throughout the years as we grew up together. At my moms house we got a shitzu puppy when I was 13 and another when I was 17. I help with feeding, walking, bathing, and lots of play time and snuggles! I currently have a part time job where I work 2 days a week (4 hour shifts), so I have plenty of time to stop by and see your pets whenever you need! When I stop by to check in on your pets I'm able to feed them, take them outside, and give them some fun play time. In addition to this, if you have further requests during my time there please feel free to ask and I will do my best to fulfill them!

About: Throughout college, I worked at a grooming shop and walked and babysat a handful of dogs for several years. I have experience and am comfortable with big, small, shy, nervous, aggressive, sick, traumatized and old animals, so I can handle whatever your pet might throw my way. And I love to run; I'm happy to run with your dog if they want. I'm also comfortable administering medications, transporting animals, bathing, blow drying, and following training instructions. I wouldn't want to undo any of the hard work you have done. Most importantly, my clients have always trusted me to be an honest and dependable person. Can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I’m a full time student and have a part time job. I have availability on weekends for drop in visits and dog sitting in your home. I also have a car. My dog at home is not good with other dogs, so I will come to your home and follow instructions that you give me about security.

About: I am well rounded with a background with diverse animals. I have had a rabbit for ten years and have taken care of dogs, birds, and other rabbits. I have also had a lot of farm animal experience as well. I have currently decided to step away from my full-time job so I have plenty of open availability. I currently have a part-time summer job that is very flexible allowing me to be open. I am available to do any pet-related work with respect and care to the owner! I treat all animals as if they are my own and how I would want my animals to be cared for.
