Amy was absolutely lovely. She took such great care of our pups and our house. The dogs loved her. She also brought in our packages that were delivered! She sent pics throughout her stay which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Amy and will be using her services again!

Taylor did a wonderful job watching our dogs and taking care of our home while we were away. She asked great questions upfront, communicated clearly, and made sure she understood our dogs’ routines, which we really appreciated. We came home to happy pups and a tidy house — exactly what you want from a great sitter. She was reliable, respectful, and made the whole experience stress-free. We would absolutely book with Taylor again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.

Such a. Calming influence. She also projects confidence & capability. Our 2 dogs cozied right up to her to watch TV & relax after she took both at once for a walk, at our meet & greet. We felt so comfortable knowing we could be out of state & not worry about our furry kids! TU Kayla❣️

Aurora was awesome taking care of my 16 year old Chihuahua that is battling cancer and some eye problems, along with our foster pup who can be a handful. They both warmed up to her right away and loved her, she followed instructions for all of their medications and eyedrops to a T.

About: I’ve been around fur babies my entire life, caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I’m comfortable using the intuitive understanding of their needs and behaviors that I have gained throughout my years to adapt my care to match each dog’s unique temperament and routine. I’ve also spent time caring for senior pets for family members, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentleness they require, whether that means maintaining routines, supporting mobility, or offering calm companionship. On top of that, I’ve raised and cared for my own stubborn shih tzu, which taught me a lot about patience and how to handle strong-willed dogs with both structure and love. What sets my care apart from most, I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach, I focus on truly knowing each pet as if they were my own: learning their personality, respecting their routine, and creating a safe, stress-free environment where they feel secure and loved. Clients can expect reliable communication, updates, and the peace of mind that their pet is not just being watched but cared for. As a college student home for the summer, pet care fits seamlessly into a very open and flexible schedule. With ample availability throughout the day and week, there is plenty of time to provide attentive, consistent care. This flexibility allows for adapting to each pet’s routine and ensuring they receive the time and attention they deserve. Creating a comfortable and trustworthy environment is always the top priority. Care is tailored to each pet’s routine to keep things familiar and stress-free, with close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions provided. Walks are always done with safety in mind, using secure leashing and awareness of surroundings. In a client’s home, respect for both the space and the pet’s comfort is key: keeping things clean, calm, and consistent while maintaining open communication. The goal is to ensure every pet feels secure, cared for, and happy, while giving owners absolute peace of mind.

Lyle did an awesome job with watching our two furbabies in our home for two weeks! He kept them on their routine and most importantly gave their meds on time. The latter is extremely important since one of our babies has seizures. We were so worried to leave since the last Rover experience didn't go so well and so we came home early. Thankfully all went great with Lyle. He gave daily updates and was very transparent. Will definitely use him again!!!

About: I've had both cats and dogs as family members for many years. Now I currently love my family and friends' pets as if they were my own. I currently work in the office 4 days per week but can leave after 4 hours and be home around noon. I'm a home body so I'm comfortable snuggling and spending playtime with your pets. I usually watch my friends and family's pets in the comfort of their own homes. I often have their pets at my home as well but usually for short periods, though sometimes overnight. I usually initiate playtime and welcome snuggling.

Nik did an excellent job taking care of our very energetic golden while we were away on vacation. He sent tons of updates with photos about how his stay was going which really put us at ease! The house was clean when we came home (another huge bonus!) we would definitely book him again in the future.

Charles took good care of our dogs, He was not fazed at the initial meet & greet when our younger but larger dog was quite excited and jumpy. He arrived on time and provided creatively silly updates on our pups. We would definitely like to book his services again.

Antonia was so great that I don’t think my cat missed me at all! She was great with keeping me updated on the day to day, followed instructions and kept my Shoni loved. This is the first sitter that Shoni slept in the bed with from the very first day 😄. He finished all his food and even had the zoomies which never happens when we’re gone. You can tell Antonia loves animals. Definitely rebooking!
