15. Alyssa C.
About: I’ve had a yorkie for almost ten years now, raising her since she was a puppy, and help my parents with their elderly husky whenever I am home. I have dealt with potty training, elder dog illnesses, complicated diets, and more. My apartment has its very own “Bark Park” that I will gladly take your puppy to if you entrust them to me! I am a full time college student, with large gaps between classes Monday/Wednesday from 10:30 a.m to 2:30 p.m. I am available after 10:30 a.m on Fridays and all day on weekends! Tuesday/Thursday availability varies and can be discussed upon request :) For my own pets, I dote on them night and day! For my yorkie, she’s almost like my shadow whenever I am back home. She follows me all around the house and sleeps in my room peacefully. For the husky, I take her on walks nightly & make sure her food is filled with extra vitamins such as salmon oil as she is an older dog. For my clients, I plan to treat their pets with the same amount of love and care I’d want someone to treat mine.


16. Bryn B.
“Bryn is the best pet mom. She has so much love and care for her babies, and all animals. I know Bryn’s dogs are well taken care of and extremely healthy. I can’t think of a better person to entrust with my pets.”


17. Daren W.
“Daren did an absolutely phenomenal job taking care of my fur babies (cats and dogs) while I was out of town! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to ensure my pets were not only safe but genuinely happy and well cared for. I never once had to question their well-being, as his updates were detailed, thoughtful, and truly reassuring. It was clear my animals adored him; he connected with them in a way that clearly left them calm, content, and loved in my absence. Daren’s commitment to quality care is unmatched; he exceeded every expectation and made being away so much easier. I cannot recommend him enough.”


18. Angelo B.
“Angelo is the best pet sitter I have had. My dog Arlo can be tricky because he can be very shy and doesn’t warm up to people very easily but he loves Angelo. Angelo did a great job of keeping up with all of Arlo’s needs and sent many adorable photos of their adventures together. He went above and beyond for my little guy even when I said it wasn’t necessary. He even watered my plants while I was away which was so helpful. I highly recommend Angelo as a pet sitter for your fur babies! You will not regret it and will know your animals are safe in his hands!”


19. Reagan P.

“This was my first time using Rover. I had to go to an out of state funeral and I was unable to give an advanced notice. I put my booking request in and Reagan responded right away. She came over to meet my rabbit two days before I left. She sent photos with each drop in visit. Reagan did a great job and I would book her again.”


20. Caitlin M.

“Caitlin was very good at communicating and took such good care of Cooper! Will definitely book her again”
