“We (and our dogs) loved having Nicole sit for us. She is an excellent communicator and took care of our pups like they were her own. I’d absolutely have her stay with our dogs again—and based on their lukewarm reaction to us coming home, I think they’d like to see her again too. 🤣”

“This was our first Rover experience, and Carlie was just fantastic. She cared for both our dog and cat while we were gone a few days, and I have no doubt they were in good hands. Carlie updated us on every visit and sent us pictures. Thank you Carlie! I would definitely recommend her to care for your pets, and I will be using her again for our upcoming trips.”

“Azaria took great care of our pups while we were out of town! She was great at communicating and sending updates/ photos and the house was in great condition when we got home. Thank you again!!”

“Kimberly took wonderful care of our two dogs so we could relax and enjoy our vacation away. She was fantastic with communication and sent us pictures of “our boys” as she knew we missed them! Highly recommend Kimberly and hope to use her services again in the future!”

“Stacia was awesome! Our pups were happy to have us home but seemed to be well taken care of and not extra needy and they gave her lots of love before she left! We will definitely use her if she's available on our next trip.”

“Once again, Jesse is incredible with our pets. She cares for them just like we would, and I couldn’t leave them with anything less than that level of love and care. Thank you Jesse for being awesome!”

“Julia did a great job caring for my dog, Louie, and cat, Callie! They both have health issues that require medication and Julie reviewed everything and gave them everything they needed. She also sent daily updates and pictures. I came home to healthy and happy pets and a clean home. I would definitely book with Julia again!”

“Alicia stayed with our dog Hazel for a long weekend and we will definitely book her again! Hazel sometimes struggles to warm up to new people but she loved Alicia immediately during our meet & greet. Alicia asked lots of good questions to make sure she was prepared to care for Hazel, and she sent us photos every day.”

“Elizabeth was wonderful with Ollie! He took to her right away. She sent lots of pics which I appreciated! She also took great care of my home. Would highly recommend!!”

About: 4-H training a puppy to show. Compassion for pets. And I pet sit for most pets. I'm caring, kind and focused on my pets and wellbeing. Currently open very flexible can take mornings, afternoons, evenings and overnights or longer periods. Open to discussing your needs and looking forward to helping you out. Large open yard with room to run and walks. Other pets are in home but can work around specific needs. Two acres to play and enjoy themselves.
“Karina was amazing with our pup! She sent frequent updates and pics and even bought her little treats. She was incredibly flexible with our dates and times, and went above and beyond any sitter we’ve ever had- both for our dog and kids. And super affordable. Highly recommended!!!”


About: Hi I’m Josie! I’m young, responsible, and flexible! I often take care of people’s pets (dogs, cats, etc) at their home while on short or long vacations. I am available for daily care (feedings and walks) as well as short term or long term pet and house sitting. I work from home most days and can be there as little or as often as needed! I work very hard at my full time job, but I get to work remotely so I am around for pet and house sitting! I’m young, friendly, and very active. I love animals and because I don’t have any pets of my own I get my fill by pet sitting 😊 I live in an apartment with a roommate so I prefer to stay at my clients’ home while long-term pet sitting. Otherwise I am available for daily care like feedings and potty breaks. Keeping the pets at home and having me drop by or stay there with them is usually most comfortable for them, anyways! 😊
“Lisa did a terrific job with our fur babies! She was very careful and caring with them, kept us posted with the right amount of details, and kept the home really clean. Would definitely have her sit for us again!”

“Nowell is amazing! I had a last minute trip come up and she was able to step in and come watch my dog on very short notice. My dog seemed to take to her immediately, and she sent me photos and updates and their activities throughout her stay. 10/10 I would have her watch my dog for me again. I couldn't recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve loved dogs since I can remember. Since my parents are allergic I could not own one growing up so I volunteered walking all different sorts of dogs at our local shelter. Along with that, I’ve dog sat most of my life and brought shelter dogs on road trips and many other fun adventures. I work nights at Starbucks, so I have mornings, early afternoons, and nights open ( as I only work until 7:45pm) ! I have three days off a week to go on adventures, and looove being outside! Making a pet feel comfortable and loved is so so important. Any instructions are always followed and I love being able to create my own bond with the animal as well!
“Lensy was amazing with my two pups, including meds, walks, and lots of love and attention, which is what they need. She’s great with communication and updates, and took excellent care of my two doggos!”

“Becca does such a great job with my senior lab. She takes care of all my dog’s needs and she is always excited to see Becca. She also does a wonderful job communicating and keeping me informed about how the days are going.”
