1. Rebecca R.
“Rebecca has always been good with animals, and is quite responsible. Rebecca started pet sitting when she was in middle school, and always had good feedback from the neighbors for whom she worked. Rebecca currently has a cat, and is very loving to her fur-baby. Rebecca has an excellent work history, and has gotten promotions or raises at all of them because of great attendance and an old-fashion work ethic. Those qualities have carried over to school where she is in a STEM plus MBA program on a full scholarship, with over a 4.0 GPA. If you are looking for someone who will do what they promise, and do it with the love of a servant's heart, then I would highly recommend trusting your beloved pet to Rebecca.”

3. Abigail P.
About: I've had pets for as long as I can remember. All pets want is someone who will listen to their needs and love them. I want to give that to your pet. I am finishing up High School online and don't have anything else going on at the moment. So I can be available just about any time! It's important to me to treat any pets I meet with the same compassion that I treat my own. Giving them the care they need, when they need, how they need it.


4. Angela B.
“Angela is great! She has cared for family pets who were old, frail and sickly needing medical care. She has saved abandoned baby kittens and birds and puppies and gave them wonderful lives. Her patience and love for animals is immeasurable. She is meticulous when it comes to pet care and is super kind-hearted always showing compassion. Angela is highly recommended! She truly is a lover of animals!!”


5. Thomas M.
“Thomas was an excellent dog sitter! He ensured my pup, Ava, was well taken care of by taking her for long walks and spending quality time with her. He sent daily pictures and I came back to a happy and healthy doggo! Thomas left my apartment in immaculate condition when he stayed here and was excellent with communication. Ava has a new best friend with Thomas and I am excited to have him stay again. Oh, and he fed my fish too. 100% recommend.”


6. Nicole H.

“Thank you!!”


7. Emily P.
“Emily has kept our Winston on multiple occasions and he’s always a happy boy when we get back home! We had a HORRIBLE experience with a boarder, so it’s a great feeling knowing he’s taken care of so well when he’s in her care.”


8. Jasmin R.

“Jasmin was absolutely wonderful! She was able to come last minute to take care of my pup. He loves her and looks forward to her visits. I highly recommend using Jasmin to take care of your pets!”


9. Tara C.

“Tara Coratti would be great with your animals. She especially loves cats and she's had her own all of her life. She currently has a Flat Crop Retriever who is the most gentle dog I've ever seen. Tara has taken care of both my cat and dog both in her home when I traveled and also she's taken care of them in my home and spent time with them, when I've been on shorter trips. Both Puffy and Dolly love her.”




10. Gidget V.

“Gidget did a great job taking care of my boys. I really appreciate the pictures and updates she provided.”


11. Elaina R.
“Elaina was extremely reliable with her pet sitting responsibilities. We have two Aussies and have never left them with anyone but family. Elaina came by twice to meet the dogs and spend time with us before we left them for a week away in Maine this summer. She was terrific with the dogs! One of our Aussies was recently rehomed and very shy. Elaina won her over immediately! She’s soft spoken and gentle but very confident. We were extremely pleased with her work. I highly recommend her.”


12. Maddie V.


“Maddie is very kind, communicative, and punctual. My two dogs, Gigi and BooBoo greatly enjoyed their walks. She was able to get my little BooBoo out of his crate (he was reluctant and very scared) and for that i am grateful!”


13. Makala B.

“Makala is very sweet! She helped make sure Josie got her daily exercise and she kept me updated after each walk! Would hire again 🤠”


14. Kelly C.

“Kelly is a true dog lover!!!! She goes the extra mile. Alex is better having known Chris and Kelly...it was like he just became part of the family and didn’t want to come home. 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


15. Lauren C.
“Lauren has always been amazing with animals. She has the biggest heart and pets are naturally drawn to her. She has always gone the extra mile while helping me with my goldendoodle, Charlie. Sometimes I think he loves her more than he loves me:) She is reliable, attentive to detail, and gives love to each and every dog she meets. I can’t think of a better person to take care of your furry family member.”


16. Audrey W.

“Audrey was great! She was able to respond on very short notice to meet Meatball and then gave him a great walks the next day. She sent me a picture uodated, which I very much appreciated. She was very kind and affectionate toward him and I know he were in good hands with her! Highly recommend!”

About: Please do not use Rovers time frame feature to put in drop off / pick up info. I do not use it. I will not honor times put into this feature on Rover if you use it. See more info below. I have been a dog owner all my life. I have worked in an adoption center, participated in foster / adopt transportations, and have fostered. I have never been able to leave my furry friend with a boarding service for fear that something would happen or he would get lonely. So I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust to take care of him/her until you return. Your pet will be part of our family. I've never been restrictive to my pets so yours will be allowed as much freedom as you would like him/her to have. **Please note: I do NOT go by the time frames that Rover gives you. I have no way of showing my availability for each day, so when you put those in they may not match my actual availability. I will NOT honor those times since I have no control over them. Please make sure we finalize drop off times BEFORE booking a stay with me. I'm happy to work with you while I can for drop-offs and pickups, but there might be times when my schedule is not going to allow me to be as flexible. Right now I'm not currently accepting pick ups or drop offs on Thursday evenings after 5 pm or Sunday mornings. My husband and I are both active with our church and those times are dedicated to that. I'm also closed for drop offs and pick ups on Saturdays all day. While I have guests in my care during that time, it's my one day "off" each week to not be tethered to my house. I do have two children, an ten-year-old and a seven-year-old. Both are used to being around dogs, but for the safety of all involved, I require a meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along. Please see additional information about meet and greets below. When we leave the house, I will never leave your pets mixed with other pets. I'm happy to crate your dog if that's what they are used to or they will be given their own room while we're away. I will never leave your dog mixed unsupervised with my dog or other dogs I'm watching. Everyone's safety is my first priority. I can provide my cell so you can get in contact with me at any time. I also provide pictures/videos via text. I'm working on doing better to show them on Rover. One of the things I will tell you from the get go is my house gets a little crazy sometimes. I do my best to provide updates once a day while you're away. I also tell my clients to message me if they haven't heard from me and would like an update. I do my best to be responsive in a timely manner. However, I also expect my clients to understand that I do have a life outside of pet sitting and sometimes that life gets in the way of my being able to respond right away. Please show a little grace when asking for updates on your pet. We love them like our own so they just join in our family life which doesn't always include having my phone glued to my side. I'm a homemaker and homeschool mom. I am around a lot of the time and there is plenty of outside time for my guests. The reason my schedule may look blocked off is because of the time required for my guests, my kiddos, and my job. My husband also works from home full time now. He does assist with the pups sometimes but I do not rely on him for meet and greets, drop offs or pick ups. Crates are not required, but if your dog is used to being crated I can provide for that. I will also crate a dog if they are found to be destructive or are untrustworthy when we are out of the house. I also will not keep dogs that are food aggressive. I separate everyone to feed them because I understand the nature of most dogs is to be protective of food. However, if a dog shows aggression towards another dog when food is present or while we're in the kitchen around people food, that is not something I am comfortable with for safety reasons. We homeschool and I work from home so we're home a lot of the time. With that said, we do have lives and go places. I try to be as accommodating as possible, but please keep this in mind. Your pup will be integrated into our household with my own. We're in and out a lot so potty breaks and playtime naturally happen throughout the day. I provide overnight services out of my home as well as doggy day care. We have a fully fenced yard with an automatic locking gate to keep people from opening it when they come for pickup. When you come to my house, you'll park in my driveway and then enter through a double set of people gates to your left.

“Sadie’s is very personable, amazing with animals and will take great care of your fur babies! 10/10 and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”


19. Jazmin T.
About: I have grown up with a house full of animals, including chickens! 6 or more dogs and cats! Even rabbits and ducks and geckos! I have alot of experience with multiple animals and multiple complicated steps to take care of them! I often volunteer at our animal shelter in my free time. I live with a house full of animals so every day I have a routine of managing them, getting them fed. I have experience keeping some of them separate during feeding. Im responsible in my house for keeping them clean and their nails trimmed. I work hard every day to give them all the attention they need! I can crate a dog if needed and separate if there is food aggression or if they need to be kept away from other animals in general. I’m very use to handling dogs that need to be kept apart.


20. Angela S.
About: I am an experienced veterinary nurse looking to give quality one-on-one care to all pets! I am trained to recognize the first signs and symptoms of illnesses and injuries as well as how to care for senior pets, pets with separation anxiety, medication administration, post operation care, and pets with special needs. I also have experience in basic grooming and basic training that can be done during pet’s stay. Unlike standard boarding facilities, I take the time to get to know each pet as an individual to follow their regular routine to provide companionship, enrichment and love 💕 Unlike standard boarding facilities, I am available to make a schedule that works best for you and your pet, both days, nights, weekdays and weekends to provide personalized experience and attention. My overnight rates are based on 16 hr a day supervision, but can be accommodated to meet your baby’s needs and your budget. I follow the instructions closely when caring for pets and their homes to provide a seamless transition. I also send as many daily updates with pictures/videos as requested.
