Ryan was an absolute awesome sitter for our little Luna. He was very accommodating and came a little early per our request to bond with Luna and give her time to feel comfortable around him. She seemed very comfortable and happy and wanting to play. Ryan was very respectful and helped also keep things tidy , bringing in our packages and mail. We definitely will book with Ryan again for our next trip.

About: I tested myself with my first dog at age 12, now with both sisters starting to become seniors, I have had experience with all age groups of dogs and cats. On top of that I have pet sat many dogs including 7 bull dogs at a time, which required much attention due to their high maintenance nature. I would mainly be doing this in the mornings and afternoons, as I have part time job and a student. But I am open to some weekends. I make sure my dog is walked on a daily basis both day and night making sure she lets everything out before going in, I also stay on top of feeding and taking care of her.

Christian is absolutely WONDERFUL! He’s such a pleasure - he’s kind and you can rest easily knowing he’ll treat your pup like they’re his own 🥹 He’s so polite and respectful and keeps in touch. I felt very comfortable with him and he and my pup are new best friends!!!

I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend sitter for my dog, Wonka! Jordan is very detailed-oriented, did a great job following all of my directions for medication administration and potty breaks needed for Wonka’s medical condition, and provided frequent updates which helped put my mind at ease while I was away. My dog, who is usually skeptical around new people, also warmed up to her quickly, and before long they were the best of friends! I won’t hesitate to use Jordan as a sitter again!

Shea was wonderful, she watched my dog in my house and took good care of the house and my dog. She was also able to accommodate a day of last minute holiday weekend booking and made the boarding work with her schedule. She sent updates throughout the stay and I would definetly recommend her and use her again!

About: Although I work with humans in the medical field, helping animals has always been another passion of mine. Growing up I was the go to dog sitter for family and friends. Over the past 2 years I have become heavily involved at a local rescue. This has given me experience caring for all kinds of dogs (and cats!). Fostering animals in my home has taught me how to care for dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’ve also had to perform medicated baths and administer medications to dogs and cats. One day, I hope to open my own dog rescue ! My fiancée has been a dog sitter on Rover for about a year, so now we are joining forces to give dogs the most attention and care while their parents are gone. I work 3 days a week in the hospital. My fiancé works from home. Between the two of us, we are available to your pet almost any day/time. We have two, big pups who love small/medium dog friends! If we have a foster dog in the house or you have a large dog, we would prefer to dog sit at your home. We would make sure the dog obeys all rules of the house….but if they’re allowed in bed at night that’s where they’ll be !

About: My experience being solely responsible for pets and playing with pups ranges all the way back to when I was in elementary school about ~25 years ago. Over all the years many friends and family members have asked me to watch their pets in several capacities. This could be for just a few days to somewhere around 10-14 days. Taking their pets to my home, stopping by theirs a few times a day, or just taking them out on a whim when needed. I wanted to extend the same courtesy to my neighbors. When I learned what boarding rates were I couldn’t believe it. I’m in this more to help folks out who need the assistance (especially in a pinch) than I am to derive any form of surmountable income. I am retired from the United States Army and care more about helping/leading others than I do profiteering from them. Being retired and working part-time, I find myself with lot of time and availability to help those who need it, especially in a pinch. I never find myself meeting a pet I don’t click with almost immediately, so I am open to taking on new pups, felines, and of course their caring owners. Once an initial conversation is had it’s very easy to fit the mold of a pet’s routine and/or preferences. Please let me know how I can best assist you and your loved ones.

Eric and Julia did an amazing job with our rambunctious pups while we were bringing our baby girl home from the hospital. We get really anxious leaving our dogs but ended up having nothing to worry about! Not to mention, they were able to stay a last minute extra night when we had an extended stay at the hospital. Thank you so much guys!

Mark took great care of our senior dog, Milo, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He communicated regularly, kept us updated, and followed all of our instructions carefully. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. We felt comfortable knowing Milo was in good hands. We would definitely book with Mark again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.

We’re so grateful for Logan (William) and his amazing care for our big baby Luthor💖 Logan made time to do a meet up before our short notice booking and Luthor loved him right away. We had complete confidence in Logan’s ability to care for Luthor and our home. He is a professional and extremely competent. Logan sent pictures of Luthor and their time together daily and his communication was outstanding. I was able to totally relax on my trip out of town because I had full confidence Luthor was being well cared for and was totally happy with Logan.
