“We had a wonderful experience with Paige taking care of Sam. She was incredibly sweet and attentive, and Sam felt comfortable and happy with her. Paige took great care of him, and we felt completely at ease trusting her to watch over him during the days she was scheduled. Highly recommend!”
About: I work in the vet med industry. So I have experience, and am comfortable, caring for pets in every stage of life from puppies & kittens to seniors. I also can administer medications, if needed (to include insulin & IV fluids). I do work full-time, but my schedule is flexible. It is rotating, so please reach out with your concerns & needs for pet care & I can work things out! Pet/patient care always comes first. I do have two cats who have free range in a large bonus room I rent. So if possible, it would be better that I stay in-home to give all care & attention to your pet, and to ensure they are most comfortable & feel at home.
“Joanne was fabulous watching our 3 cats! She was on time and communicated each visit, with photos too. She was a big hit with the kitties, including our skittish stray we took in almost a year ago. By day two, she was out from under the bed making friends with Joanne. Our vacation was tons of fun and without any worry as I knew Joanne had everything under control. Will definitely be calling her again for our next trip! Thanks Joanne! ???”
“Amanda has been such a great pet sitter while we've been away! She is very sweet and accommodating and has been very flexible when we've had unexpected changes to the plan! My dog and rabbits really seem to love her and she sends me great pictures! She is also very transparent in keeping me updated! We plan on hiring her again next time we go on vacation!”
“Sahara was literally an angel who stepped in when a previously hired sitter no showed after I had already left town. She has been patient with my very shy and skittish senior cat who is now enjoying being petted by Sahara. I highly recommend her.”
About: I will be glad to take care of your fur baby in your home so your baby will not experience a shock of being left at a strange house. This way it will eliminate any anxiety your pet might experience. Taken care of animals for my entire lifetime. Provided medical care for all animals. Has service dog who is very friendly. Pets are family and not just animals. I am a stay at home dog mom. I’m retired and I take care of dogs 24/7. Pets have been apart of my life forever. I’m very aware of their surroundings and special needs. Each pet has their own personality and I’m very attentive to that. All pets deserve love.
“For those looking for peace of mind while you're away, Morgan's your answer! This was my first time looking for someone to check in on my recently-adopted cat while I was gone for a few days, and I am so thankful that Morgan was there to put my worries at ease. Not only did she give my pet the attention he needed, she would continuously go above and beyond any expectations I had for a check-in sitter. Between detailed daily reports (with lots of great photos), feedback on my cat's diet and litter box habits, and taking the time to encourage his personality to come out through play and pets, I am so happy with Morgan's service and will be booking her again whenever possible! Thank you so much for taking care of little Mo! 🤩”
“Kimberlee was great with our puppy Graham. She communicated quickly, arrived on time, and kept me updated with pictures and how he did everyday. I will definitely rebook with her again!”
“New Rover sitter. Learning the ropes but clearly a good heart and engaged well with my dog and parrot. Sent good photos with Frisbee playing with Roscoe and singing and dancing with my parrot. Would use her again”
“This was my first time using Rover. I choose Jessica and she was great. She came by every day while I was gone for drop-in visits to feed my cat and all the other stuff you need to do on a daily basis. It takes a bit for Bailey to warm up to other people but Jessica hung in there and eventually she was able to pet him. She sent me pictures and notes every day so I felt good about leaving him with her. I was impressed with her service and will continue to use her going forward. You will be happy if you choose Jessica to take care of your fur babies.”
“Very friendly. Showed up on time and gave the extra effort to care for my four energetic dogs and elderly diabetic cat. Communicated very well and responds quickly. Already have her scheduled again. Dogs and cat loved her!”
About: Beverly here!!My entire life we have always had pets around. I have cared for dogs small and large. I have experienced with many animals from cats to goats. I love animals and have a hard time not referring to them as people.I have worked with puppies and also older dogs. I help care and walk my family and friends animals. I have experience with staying overnight and also just drop ins or day walking. I really care for the animals and love each personality they each have. I love to take an animal on car rides or a run on the road. If a pet is in need of bathing I have experience washing both large and small dogs. I am currently working full time. My schedule is Sunday to Wednesday 6-4:30. I am able to care for an animal before and after work and also on my days off. I know this schedule is ideal for all families but some are comfortable with it. I would be available to walk your pet as little or as much as they require. Whether it’s playing fetch or taking a walk exercise is needed for pets and I’m happy to help with that.
About: I have had several different kinds of dogs since I was 5 and have raised several Boxer puppies from birth. I have also taken care of several senior or sick dogs, so I am comfortable taking care of more hands on animals! Happy to run around with your pet, or be a lazy couch potato with them—whatever their heart desires! I am free throughout the summer and would be happy to work with your pet! I am adaptable and flexible based on your pet's needs and routines. I have one medium sized miniature schnauzer who is full of energy and loves to play with other animals. I also have a large fenced in backyard to let dogs out to play/relieve themselves. I keep a clean and tidy home that your animal will feel comfortable and safe in!

About: I grew up with pets since I was a baby. I have learned throughout the years how to care and love them differently. I currently own dogs, cats, chickens and birds which I love all so much. I love showing love and comfort to every animal that crosses my path! I would be very appreciative to make your pet feel more loved and comfortable than they already are. I’m working a part time which allows me to care for your pet more often than not. I am almost always available for your pet when needed. I have learned every dog/cat is different and have different needs. I am willing to learn new things. But I can safely put your pet in crates and give them their meds safely!
About: I grew up in a family owned pet store! I have always been surrounded by all types of animals and critters! Working in a pet store has given me knowledge of a bunch of different types of animals. I have 3 pups at home and they are spoiled rotten! I love staying active, so all walks will be tailored just for your furry one! A tired pup is a happy pup! :) I am former Navy and very detail-oriented. I like to pride myself in dependability and honesty. I will always keep you informed about how your furry one is doing while you are away. I will make 100% sure that your pet will get all of the love and attention that they truly deserve :)
