“Katie is the best! My pups are my life and she was so wonderful with them. I haven’t left them with anyone else besides family since of one of them became blind. She was phenomenal with sending me pics and keeping me updated. I will be using her from now on.”

“Michael did an awesome job taking care of our fur babies! The pups were completely at ease around him and he did everything to make sure they were as happy and comfortable as possible. You can tell he really enjoys being around and caring for animals. He was also very conscientious of our home and kept up with our routines and instructions perfectly.”

“Dalton is absolutely awesome! My pups loved him from the first moment they met him. He sent a ton of pictures and updates and I felt very at ease knowing he was there with my pups while I was away.”

“Alexandra was the best pet sitter to my pup! She did everything I asked and more. She also did a great job about giving medications has directed & on time. She sent me plenty of updates and lots of pictures of my dog while watching him. This was my first experience hiring a pet sitter, but I would definitely recommend Alexandra & definitely ask her to pet sit my dog again!”

“Vivian was a good communicator and worked through some issues with my younger pup well. She left the house in great shape and was eager to please. The girls were very happy when I got home. I would use her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of multiple different types of animals, from dogs, to cats, to even horses. I’ve always loved being around animals since I was younger and always put the time, effort, and same energy that I do with my own cat. I also have experience taking care of handicapped animals for a short amount of time. I would be honored to care for your animals and I believe that I would be the paw-fect fit. I currently work at a high school and have most of the afternoons (around 3pm), weekends, and holidays off. I also work at another job that is part time after school but they post my schedule once a month which allows flexibility. I would be nothing but loving and caring for every animal. I can take them on walks around the neighborhood or take them to a park/the beach. One of your animals an introvert? No problem! I am great with introverted animals and let them come to me when they’re ready. I never push their boundaries and I always pay attention to their demeanor. My main goal is to make sure that not only the pets are comfortable but the owners are too.
“Brenda was so wonderful house sitting our two dogs. They both have anxiety so we were a little nervous about having a new person around but Brenda did everything to make them and us as comfortable as possible. 100% would recommend to anyone!”

“Abigail did an excellent job staying at my house and taking care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we went out of town. She is very trustworthy and I really appreciated the daily photos!! I will call Abby next time for sure. Thanks Abby!!”

“Morgan was amazing. Our little dog warmed up to her quickly. She was able to handle our big dog and all his puppy energy. She went above and beyond. We arrived home to a clean house and happy healthy pets.”

About: Growing up we were a pet family - included cats, dogs, rats (I know), hamsters, fish, and reptiles. As an adult I have been responsible for caring for the pets of my friends and family. Including "high maintenance dogs, e.g requiring medication 3 times a day, needing an ointment on their skin etc. I have looked after dogs and cats ranging from a few months to end of life care, including those visually impaired. I currently have no pets of my own so am looking forward to devoting my care to your pet. My full-time job is flexible in terms of hours and I can work from home if your pet needs extra attention. This allows for the flexibility for scheduling walks or boarding. I am available most days for all activities depending on the day. I have a pet friendly home in a beautiful area of Midtown so if walks are needed it the best environment. Other pets would need their homes if they require (crate, terrarium etc). I live in a clean, calm, environment that all pets can enjoy.
About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all kinds — from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs and cats. I understand that every animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work full-time during the week but have weekends completely free, which makes pet care a perfect part of my routine. I’m available on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or overnight stays. Because I’m off on Saturdays and Sundays, I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets, making sure they feel loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I live in a cozy one-bedroom apartment that’s clean, pet-friendly, and perfect for providing a calm, comfortable environment. When pets stay with me, I make sure they have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at home. I keep their routines consistent from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles so they feel safe and happy. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual schedule and routines as closely as possible. I always make sure they get lots of attention, exercise, and affection, and I treat their home with the same respect and care I give my own.
“Maitland was wonderful with Samson! She took him for a run, played outside in the yard and gave him sweet belly rubs! She kept me updated with pics and cute comments about him! I will definitely use her again!”
“Maegan is amazing! She puts in So much effort to care for and bond with our pets! She gives detailed information regarding daily activities, so we have zero worries when we are away! We are glad glad we found her!”

About: I have many pets at home (10 to be exact) and they are the best part of each day. I would love to get to know yours as well! I just took a break from college, so I have a lot of free time. I am still available on weekends but not full time because of work. Weekdays are totally free! My main goal is to make your pets feel safe and comfortable with me. I will do what’s needed to make them feel as though they can trust me.
“Kaleb was fabulous! Because he has a big dog of his own he understands what is needed with my loveable lazy boys. Kaleb was thoughtful, thorough and the boys loved him! Will be using Kaleb regularly for sure!”

“Montrez does an amazing job with my dog and I added my boyfriend's dog to the mix and it was even better! I'm so glad I found him, he's truly a Godsend and will love your fur babies like they are his!”

Rickarby pet parents share their Rover experiences
We absolutely loved having Kynleigh care for our dogs! From the very beginning, she was kind, polite, and incredibly professional. She stayed in our home for 14 nights with our two pups and made the whole process so easy and stress-free. Before her stay, she even came by twice just to meet the dogs and make sure they were comfortable with her—which really showed how much she cares. During her stay, she kept in touch with regular updates and photos, and she even texted us when she arrived and when she left (since our travel schedule meant we weren't home for her arrival and departure) so we were always in the loop. When we got home, our house was spotless and our dogs were happy, calm, and clearly very well cared for. We’ve struggled in the past to find sitters we can really trust, which has made us hesitant to travel, but thanks to Kynleigh’s amazing care, we finally feel at ease planning trips knowing she’s there for us. I also want to emphasize that Kynleigh deserves every bit (and more!) of 5 stars. She is thoughtful, attentive, and reliable, and the care she provided us couldn’t have been better. Our experience with her was absolutely wonderful, and we will 100% be booking with her again.
