“Madeline was awesome! She dropped in to see our kitties while we were away for a short vacation. She made sure their food and water was good, spent some time giving them love and pets, and even scooped the litter box, even though I said she didn't have to worry about it. She even fed our beta!”

3. Alexandra S.
“Alex is amazing and I can't recommend her enough. From the very first meeting we could just tell she was an animal person and felt so comfortable having her come to spend time with our new puppy. The pictures and updates are wonderful and our new pup really enjoys her. I don't have to worry on the days Alex comes to care for my dog.”

“First time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier. One of our dogs is slow to warm up to strangers, but Matthew was great with her. He sent pictures of happy dogs right away and i was able to relax the rest of the evening knowing they were in good hands. He even left the tv on a dog channel overnight with soothing music. Such a sweet touch!”

17. Macaya D.
About: Over the years, I’ve rescued and trained several puppies, helping them find loving homes. My experience with animals began in childhood, where I cared for multiple pets who lived long, happy lives. This lifelong connection with animals has given me the skills and dedication to provide exceptional care. I am currently available at all times, including early mornings, late nights, and any day of the week. Whether it’s a quick walk, extended pet care, or last-minute needs, I can adjust to your schedule and provide reliable, attentive service. My flexibility ensures your pet gets the care they need, whenever they need it. I have a strong understanding of animal behavior and body language, allowing me to anticipate their needs and reactions in various situations. I also have the necessary tools and equipment to maintain control and ensure the safety of all parties at all times, providing a secure and stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners.
18. Arlie M.
“Arlie has one of the most pure loves for animals I have ever seen. She grew up with dogs and the love and loyalty those dogs have had for her is so amazing to see. I have known Arlie through some of her busiest and hectic times, and she never fails to do what she knows she needs to do whether it is inconvenient to her or not. I have no doubt that whatever pet she has will be the most loved and cared for animal and that love will go both ways.”
19. Jill B.
“Jill is so reliable and trustworthy. She goes above and beyond to ensure my puppy’s safety, came to check on her during a storm with tornado sirens alarming! And best of all my puppy loves her. Thanks Jill ❤️”
20. Jenn J.
