Katelyn was amazing with our 3 pups! She kept us updated the whole time and sent lots of pictures. She even checked on our two cats with no extra charge! Our animals loved her and seemed to be very comfortable with her while we were away. We will definitely have her stay with our pets in the future.

About: I have a true love of every furry friend out there. I love large breeds as much as small, so I’m comfortable with any breed. I also love to walk and hike, so if your dog is high energy, I can match that! I currently work part time at an animal rescue with a flexible schedule, so I have lots of free time to spend with your pet. I have experience with dogs, cats, and many animals. If dog sitting, I am happy to come twice per day to feed, walk and love your pet. I understand how hard it is to leave them behind. I will happily text you photos and updates, as often as you would like!

Ashely was amazing! She took care of all of our pets and even cared for our surprise litter of kittens for the entire week we were away. Very responsive and constantly provided updates throughout. Would highly recommend and would definitely rebook with her again!

Teegan kept me informed of how the dogs were doing and got my picky older dog to eat,which is a battle. Sent me pictures of them and my apt was in great shape when I arrived home after 6 days. Would definitely rebook.

Johnnie was great. This was my first time having Johnnie keep Rocky, but I’ll definitely use again. She took great care of him and kept me posted on how things were going through messages and photos.

Best pet sitters ever for our two Cavaliers! From our first meeting, we immediately felt that we had made two new friends. They followed our directions exactly as our “fur babies” were groomed and cared for just like we were still at home with them. We treasured the pictures sent while we were away. When we returned, their sheets and towels were washed and the dishwasher had been run. We look forward to our next trip because MB & Lindsey provide us with total confidence in the care of your canine family members!

About: I would love to be considered to watch your fur baby!! I love them like my own, and make sure to take care of them like my own :) I currently do photography for income, so I’m pretty much available whenever I do like to keep weekends open as much as possible, but during the day and maybe a few times during the week evenings, I am available!! I make sure to keep an eye out on your dog 24/7 to make sure they don’t get into something they’re not supposed to and to make sure that they are happy and active or taking a nap!

About: I’m not just someone who pauses to care for your pet; my love for animals goes beyond measure. I’m committed to ensuring that the time I spend with them exceeds all expectations. I’m a graphic designer - most work I do is from home. So my schedule is very flexible and on the go! I can work and sit in while watching your animal! 😀 I have a dog myself - she is hardly ever caged and is trained to stay out and behave accordingly. She is very energetic. But LOVES people and other animals.

I cannot say enough how happy I was with Blakey! It was our first time leaving them with someone in our home and my 2 dogs didn’t even act like I had been gone when I came back! I’m pretty sure they were happy being spoiled by Blakey! Will definitely book her in the future!

My regular pet sitter cancelled a week before my trip so I went on Rover and found Ellie. She is very responsible and took good care of my cats. She is quickly responsive to texts and made sure to leave the house in good shape for my return. My cats looked calm and well cared for upon my return. I would recommend Ellie to anyone needing a pet sitter.

About: We love all animals I've taken care of Dobermans but also have taken care of shih tzus. I love all animals they will have love here. I'm a stay at home mom so I'm home just about 24/7. I like going on walks in the neighborhood so having a buddy would be rewarding. I have a porch and fenced in yard where they can play and I can take them on long walks. We have a wide living room to play in to .

About: I have always felt a special connection with dogs. I'm patient and attentive to their needs. I had a golden retriever for 13 years. I trained him as a puppy and he had a happy life. I love all dog breeds and I would be grateful to watch your dog(s). I have a flexible work schedule. I work from home 8:30am - 3:00pm on Monday - Friday.. but I'm able to do walks or drop-ins during the daytime as needed. Weekends I'm completely free. I will care for your dog(s) however you prefer and I follow instructions well. I will send you updates and photos while I'm caring for your dog(s). They will be walked, let-out, fed, played with, etc.. exactly how you would like.

About: i’m 20 years old and very interactive when it comes to animals. i have been surrounded by animals of all sort my whole life. i have a 9 year Chihuahua and a 2 year old texas heeler of my own. also a 9 year old gelding(my profile picture) i’d like to say im good with high energy animals, shy, and nervous. my heeler is very nervous and can come across as aggressive but he’s never hurt anyone or any dogs. he’s more clingy but loves to ride around and help with outside chores. i’m using rover as a side job due to being in school for vet tech! i try my best to make as much time for any requests from clients in need! i grew up being the type of person to always volunteer at humane societies, helping strays, and taking in animals in need. i’ve owned rabbits, hamsters, lizards, fish, cats, and sugar gliders. i’m more than open minded no matter the size or breed and am always willing to learn about animals! please feel free to reach out with any questions or requests! thank you so much as of right now, i am taking classes at icc for vet tech and looking to make a little extra money so most days im available. i can always arrange my schedule to fit needs as much as possible. with my heeler, he goes a lot of places with me, especially the barn! he’s high energy so days were not at the barn, we’re outside playing with toys, going to tractor supply to take baths, picking out toys, or he has other furry friends at home to play with.

About: I love all animals. I will play with them, walk them, and be sure to give them lots of love and attention. I have had pets my whole life and I am used to many difffent types of breeds. I am willing to walk them, jog with them, and just lay around and relax with them. If I could just sit pets for my whole life as a full time job I would. I can look after both your pet and your house! Both will be in very good and capable hands. I know how important pets are, they are like family. I am the most free on weekends, but can do some things during the week in the evenings and mornings before work. I’m off on Fridays during the summer. I treat my own pets like family, and will do the same for yours. I will follow all of your guidelines and be sure to give them the love and attention they deserve.

Nechelle stepped in on short notice to watch our 2 dogs. At the end of a very long day, it was nice to come home to a peaceful house. The dogs were just fine, first time ever having a pet sitter for either one of them. We are very happy with the services Nechelle provided.

Lindsy took such excellent care of our dog and our home. Our dog is senior and undemanding, so it can take a little ESP to figure out what she needs. Lindsy sent daily updates that we really appreciated. Would definitely engage Lindsy again!
