“Heather was a wonderful sitter! She was very flexible with days/times on the meet and greet. She leaves very thorough Rover cards and provides lots of photos which was great for us since we have an elderly cat. If you’re nervous using Rover for any reason, I would recommend contacting Heather since her Rover cards and photos make you feel like you’re still at home with your pet! We will be booking with Heather again!”



“Jean did an amazing job with my kittehs. She sent loads of pictures and they always appeared content. Everything was as we left it when we got home amd they weren't even mad at me for leaving (I think, lol) . Her service was above and beyond my expectations and we will definitely be using her again in the future!”


“We were very nervous to leave our senior kitty for a week since he needs saline infusions everyday to treat his kidney disease. Tia did a wonderful job caring for Pumbaa, giving his medicine, and making him comfortable during his saline. He looked so happy and healthy when we returned. We're very thankful to have such an excellent petsitter to care for our boy when we're away!”


“Jenna and Spencer were wonderful! They offered to do a meet and greet ahead of time and made me feel completely at ease leaving my cats in their care. They followed all my instructions perfectly and sent lots of photos! I came home to two happy, healthy cats and could not be more grateful for the care they provided!”


About: I have had cats, dogs, rabbits, mice, rats, fish, hermit crabs, tarantulas and many other types of pets of my own (cats and dogs my whole life) as well as cared for friends and family's pets since I was a little kid. I also volunteered at many local animal shelters in my late teens. I also have experience with different types of special needs animals; mostly cats in that aspect. (Paralyzed, deaf, blind, epileptic, diabetic and tri-pod) My daily and weekly schedule changes with my regular work schedule and my kids school schedule, but I am typically available during day time hours on weekdays, most likely at least one available night time drop-in available and can make myself available on Saturdays, if need be. Your pet will be more comfortable in an familiar environment such as their own home, so I would prefer to see them in their own home. I ask you leave a note somewhere prominent (i.e. kitchen table or counter) with quick point reminders of food/water bowl locations, food locations, treats, and any special reminders such as medications w/ times. I will take time to get to know your pet, play with them if they like or pets, loves snuggles... It's really all about what your pet wants/needs from me! I will also have my 14 year old daughter along to help care for your pet(s). Between the two of us we can run your whole zoo if you'd like!! We can do walkies for pets that need a little extra excersize. Shopping trips to pet-friendly local areas/shops/parks if wanted/permissible!

About: I have experience with dogs from any age and any breed and temperament. I am also knowledgeable on giving medication (both oral and via injection). In the summer, I work part-time during the days (anywhere from 9am to 5pm), however when my college classes start up in the fall, I have much more time to spend with your pets! Before each stay, for both my and your comfort, I tend to plan a meeting to get to know your animal and your space better! I find that in person meetings with pets before housesitting exponentially improves the quality of the experience for both me and your furry friend. Complicated instructions/"trouble" animals don't deter me, either. I will play, feed, walk, and clean up after your pet for as long as needed!

About: I am a current dog mom and have experience with a variety of dogs and cats. I would love to care for your fur kids! I am an active person and enjoy being outdoors. I work full time and nearby with varying hours that allow me to care for pets. I always ensure my dogs’ safety by keeping them in a fenced-in area or on a leash. I value each dog’s unique personality and tailor services accordingly.

“Sydney was great with Jax and Gemma. They can be very excitable but after being away and cared for by Sydney they were calm when we arrived home. She was very communicative while we were away and I could tell by the pictures she sent that they enjoyed having her look after them! I couldn’t have asked for anything more from a sitter and will definitely be booking her if we go away in the future!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs if every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their pets! I have a relatively flexible schedule, I so can check in most days at any given time. I’m available most nights and most weekends when needed. I can email crate your dog if needed and am very respectful when it comes to entering your home. I’ve dealt with animals of all types, so will be able to adapt to any interaction.


“I could not be more satisfied. This was my first time using Rover. Susie was very professional and it is very obvious that she loves dogs. Even though I did not request it she sent several updates on how things were going. I will definitely use the service again and I would absolutely recommend Susie.”


About: I've been taking care of dogs of friends and neighbors for years, including my sister and roommate's dog for 5 years. Additionally, I have been working in a hospital caring for patients for a year. I have a passion for caring for all other beings, and I have a soft spot in my heart for dogs. I'm currently taking the summer off before going back to school, so I will have endless time to spend with your pups! I am looking forward to doing some rewarding work caring for animals during this time off. I am willing to travel to your home in order to keep your babies in the comfort of their own place. I am also willing to spend long periods of time walking, playing, and just hanging out with your dog. I am very flexible for whatever their needs may be!

About: I know how important trust is when it comes to your pet. I treat every dog like family and tailor each walk to fit their energy, comfort, and personality. With me, you're not just hiring a dog walker—you’re gaining a dependable partner who’s committed to your pet’s well-being and your peace of mind. I have the time and freedom to fully dedicate myself to caring for animals. As a proud dog dad of two standard poodles, my daily life revolves around their routines and well-being. With a flexible schedule and years of experience, I am able to give each dog I care for extra attention and consistent care. When it comes to caring for someone’s pet, safety and trust are everything—and I take that responsibility to heart. I have a naturally protective spirit and a calm, grounded presence that dogs respond well to. I always prioritize a dog’s comfort, security, and well-being. Pet parents can trust that I will treat their dog as if they were my own- always putting their safety first.

About: My family got a dog while I was in high school, and I’ve been hooked since. My family’s first dog is 12 years old, and I currently have 4 dogs, all husky mixes. I work weekdays from 7 am - 5 pm. I am able to accommodate your pet before and after work as much as necessary. I am off on weekends. I offer walks, drop ins, and house sitting for both dogs and cats. My house is full with 4 dogs of my own so I do not board. Your fur baby is my priority! I’m very attentive to animals, their moods, and their needs.

“April was amazing! She really helped us out on short notice and on a holiday weekend. Piper was happy and healthy and not anxious at all when we got back! Would definitely book again.”


About: I have been around dogs my entire life. There is no such thing as a bad dogs just bad owners. I have been around fluffy dogs to “fighting” dogs. No dogs are off limits. I do work a 8-4 job but my flexibility within the job is amazing. I am a social worker and a patient person. I love to be surrounded by animals. I do live in a condominium. But it is an amazing area filled with other people and animals. They are loved by many. There is never people not wanting to pet.

“Dana did and excellent job doing drop in visits for our two cats. We’ve booked her twice for our cats and have been happy both times. Shes punctual, sends pictures/updates, and everything was clean and well taken care of when we came home. We will definitely continue to use her to care for our cats in the future.”
