“Rob was absolutely amazing. I am not an eloquent enough writer to truly express my appreciation of just how great he was caring for our kitties. He went out of his way to ensure we always had peace of mind. He was above and beyond on every level over the week that we were away. If you are considering hiring Rob just know you do not need to worry. From his communication to the personal connection he makes with the animals are beyond what you could expect from a service. I really believe he cares about what he is doing. It’s not just a side job. He really has a love for animals and understands the importance of the service. He always answers right away if you have a question or a concern. Never once did we have any worries about our pets while on the cruise. He did far more than required and I recommend him highly. Thank you Rob for everything! If the app would let me we would give you 10 stars.”

“Heather did an excellent job of taking care of my cat. He was sick one day and she double checked to be sure he was ok. She kept in great contact with me. I will use her services again!”


“Super easy to book with and our kitties had a great time! Would definitely recommend - Anthony was prompt and courteous and really easy to communicate with. Thank you so much!”

About: Hello! My name is Emily, and I'm a pet sitter with a passion for animals of all shapes and sizes. I have been caring for pets for several years, and I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for your furry friends while you're away. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I always treat them with the respect and care they deserve. I am reliable, responsible, and always go the extra mile to ensure that your pet is happy and healthy while in my care. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your fur baby! I am a Registered Nurse who works night shift three days a week so I am pretty flexible with my schedule. I'm sure we will be able to work out a time for both of us. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I am comfortable administering medications, following special dietary requirements, and handling any other specific needs your pet may have. I am dedicated to providing the highest level of care for your pet and ensuring that they receive the love and attention they deserve while you're away.
“Jocelyn was great to my rabbit Trixie and was very communicative the whole time!! My rabbit is usually very timid but she trusted and loved to see Jocelyn every day!”

“Brandie checked in on our cat, Max, for four days last week. She did an outstanding job taking care of Max! It was nice to know he was in great care with her and we didn't have to worry about him. We won't hesitate to use Brandie again on future trips.”

“This is our second time working with Gwynn. And as before Sully is very happy to have play time and belly rubs! Gwynn has met watson for the first time and is a happy pup as well! Thank you Gwynn!”

“We are so grateful Kaitlyn could drop in to spend time with our pup today. I had such peace of mind knowing that someone who knows and loves dogs was able to take care of my brand new pup! I really appreciated the detailed note/pictures she gave through Rover after her visit. It made me feel like my puppy was safe, content and happy! Will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 18. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets! I’m a stay at home mama to my amazing kids and two dogs! We have a fenced in yard that they love to play around in and we enjoy walks everyday it’s nice out! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies to keep your dog company! I’m very accommodating if your dog needs extra love! I am always home so they won’t ever be left alone for long periods of time.
About: I’m an animal lover! I not only grew up with several pets including cats, dogs, fish, parakeets, & hermit crabs - but I now have two cats and two dogs of my own. I know how difficult it can be to find someone to check on your pets when you’re in a bind. That’s why I decided to reactivate this account, to help others out! Pet services give me the pleasure of working with animals while helping out the owner. I enjoy running, walking, hiking, and play time, as well as just relaxing with animals. I treat every pet as if it were my own, with love and care. Availability : Mondays = After 5pm Tuesdays / Wednesdays / Thursdays = 12-1pm & After 4:30pm Fridays = After 3:30pm Saturdays & Sunday’s = Open I treat all animals as if they were my own which includes patience, love, affection, and gentleness. I’m also accommodating to their specific mannerisms such as high energy, size, disability, etc.
“This was my first booking and I'm very happy! I'm pretty anxious about leaving my dogs for a day or more with anyone. Not just new people, friends and family as well since anything can happen. Both of my dogs have chronic health conditions so it's easy to cause them to flare up. There were no issues at all with their health or anything. Christopher made me feel very comfortable and even came over the day before to meet me and my pups. My GSD is 100lbs so he can be intimidating, it really soothed me to see that he was comfortable with that. He and his wife also took both of them for a couple walks during 2 of the 4 drop in visits! I'm sure my dogs absolutely loved that and my GSD pulls like a mushing dog on a leash. I can definitely recommend Chris for care of your dogs”

About: I have a dog of my own. I potty trained her and I also taught her several tricks. She is a very active dog but it's nothing I can’t handle. I walk my dog 3-5x everyday depending on the weather. I also fill their water bowl and food bowl every morning. A few times throughout the week I go to the dog park. Everyone in my home including my dog is friendly when it comes to animals. We will treat yours like family because we are a very dog-loving family.
About: We have 8 years old cat - Russia blue. Sometimes we feed our friends cats. More cats we take care of, the cats gain more trust in us. My sons has 2 dogs. My friends rely on us to feed their dogs. Sometimes we walk their dogs up to 60 minutes. We work full time. Joseph is available during weekends and Monday- Friday mornings. Angela is available during evenings and weekends. We can be available on some holidays. We will ensure that your pets are safe and we handle with a lot of care and love. We treat your pets like our own family.

Robert took excellent care of our three kitties. This was our first time to use Rover and we were apprehensive about having someone come into our home, but our experience with Robert put our minds at ease. It was clear upon meeting him that he has a love for animals. He communicated daily and sent photos along with daily updates. We were pleased to find someone who was professional and worked with integrity. We will definitely have Robert take care of our kitties again!

Riely has been our drop in sitter for about a month now and has been a great help. She’s been flexible with our schedules and when on the job has taken care of our doggos in a timely manner. Would highly recommend to anyone in the Beaver area looking for as dog sitting/walker.
Vickie is the BEST! We have 2 large Alaskan Malamutes who are our babies. They fell in love with her immediately. Vickie kept us updated frequently, and we relaxed and enjoyed our trip knowing the dogs were in great hands!! We will definitely invite Vickie again!
