Morgan was fantastic! This is my first experience with a pet sitter and I am beyond impressed! My dogs absolutely love Morgan. She was so attentive to their individual needs and sent multiple text updates, pictures and video. I was totally at ease while away from home. Morgan went above and beyond with my boys and even took care of laundry and cleaning. My home was actually in better condition than when I left. I cannot recommend Morgan enough and I will absolutely use her in the future. Give her a try! I guarantee that you will be beyond impressed!

All that is necessary to say about Kristin is that when we came home it was as if we had never left. Everyone was calm and relaxed and clearly well taken care of, and the dogs very clearly missed her for a couple of days after we got home! When we first met, the dogs took to her immediately, and she was so at ease with them. She is clearly an expert in her field! She sent photo and video updates every day and asked questions when she needed to, but she was very independent about the whole sitting experience. We were able to enjoy our trip without any issues. Thank you Kristin!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 13 years old for friends, neighbors, and family members. I am comfortable will all dog breeds and ages, and have experience with many different types of dogs. I have previously worked for a small pet sitting/dog walking business as both a pet sitter/walker and office manager. I, myself, have an older German Shepard that needs frequent play time and takes medicine daily; I am very comfortable administering medicine to dogs. I am currently taking online college classes to obtain my bachelor's in Kinesiology. I do have a job as a personal trainer/group instructor and admin for a small gym in the area. I am available early mornings before 8am and afternoons after 1pm. I have experience in homes with and without fences, with dogs who are and are not crate trained and very comfortable, and experienced, with calm and excited dogs.

Aaron was absolutely amazing caring for our 3 doggies for 9 days. We were super nervous to leave them, but Aaron made us feel stress free. He was super communicative with morning, afternoon, and nighttime check-ins with pictures and how they spent their days. He went above and beyond, even cleaning, washing the linens, and leaving a delicious blueberry breakfast treat. He was exceptional. Our dogs loved him and he will definitely be our go-to person from now on.

Timia was great to our pups while we were away! She was a joy to get to meet beforehand. She took her time letting the dogs get to know her. Dogs seemed to have a great time with her here, and we came home to two well cared for pups. Thanks Timia for easing our minds while we were away, and loving on them extra well. If schedules align, we will definitely have Timia back!

Qais was incredibly friendly and helpful! I had a last-minute work schedule conflict and needed someone to come care for my 12-year-old Shih Tzu who had just come out of surgery. Qais stepped up on short notice and was a wonderful support for my furson during such a stressful time.

Majestyc was wonderful with our Klooney and Brutus. She sent me photos and videos of our dogs under her care. Klooney didn’t want to eat and she was so patient with him and helped him start to eat. We will definitely ask her to care for our dogs next time we are out of town.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I grew up with pets and have personally raised four dogs from puppies into adulthood, along with caring for a cat of my own. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for bunnies, birds, and even pigs. Friends and family regularly trust me to watch, feed, walk, and care for their pets while they’re away, so I’m comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I always treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. Right now, I’m only taking summer classes from 10 AM–1 PM during weekdays, which gives me plenty of time throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, and quality care. I’m available most afternoons and evenings during the week and can provide pets with lots of attention and companionship. My weekend availability may vary, but I always keep my schedule updated and communicate clearly about availability. I currently provide pet care in clients’ homes only, as I live in an apartment and have dogs of my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific needs each pet may have. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while maintaining a clean and safe environment. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet and home, and I always treat both with respect and care.

About: I have been around pets all my life. Volunteered as a foster mom for the humane society and took home pets that needed medication given to them. Been around active dogs like Dalmatians and Australian Shepherds as well as older, docile dogs. Did puppy training classes when I raised my Australian shepherd. I work full time so if you request a booking with me I may send you back a message with the hours I work during that time frame. I've also lowered my rates below Rovers "suggested" numbers and made it to where you can "potentially" book me last minute (If my schedule works for you, obviously). I would love to be that sitter that is helping out someone who maybe had a sitter cancel at the last minute or you had an unexpected event happen and didn't really have it in the budget to hire a pet sitter on top of everything else. Or you are just a frugal gal/guy like me and don't think it should break the bank to hire someone to watch your fur children 😊 I can crate your pets when needed, take them on walks, can administer medications if needed. I work well with lists or rules set out to follow for your pets best care in your home.

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have cared for many dogs and cats over the years. While working at a boutique, I built strong relationships with customers and became a trusted, repeat sitter for their pets. I’ve also watched the pets of family and friends for years, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it’s a playful pup or a sweet, independent cat, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work full time Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 5:30, but I have an hour long lunch break where I can quickly come home and tend to the pets making sure they get potty breaks and attention. During the weekends I am wide open to anything and can give my full time and attention to your pet! I kept my parents' labradoodles at my apartment for one year while their new home was being built. The labradoodles loved staying at the apartment. They had plenty of space to eat, play, and sleep. I of course will make sure to take your dog on quality long walks to ensure they are getting proper exercise while staying at the apartment. I also am experience in staying at the pet owners' home while I take care of their pets. I make sure to walk dogs, feed them according to the owners' instructions, and provide them with lots of love and affection.

About: I have been dog/house sitting for friends, family, and coworkers beginning 11 years ago! This service helps me pay off my student loans while also allowing me to fufill my passion of taking care of and loving on dogs! I would love to help you with you and your puppies needs! I have 3 dogs of my own (Goldendoodles) so I am experienced and can't wait to meet your best friend! Side note: I am allergic to cats so unfortunately I can not house/overnight sit at a home that has an indoor or outdoor cat. I have plenty of time to drop in or walk your sweethearts! My work is flexible and I can do it on the go! I’m looking for a different lifestyle and filling my days with your pets is a dream! Whether it is in their own home or on a walk, I want the dog to feel as comfortable as they can. Along with keeping up with their normal routine, taking care of them allows for a smooth transition upon your return

About: I’ve grown up with dogs ever since I was born, learning how to take care of them from a very young age. I have also been trusted with dogs and cats from neighbors, friends, and family throughout the years. I currently have a full-time internship for the summer (8:30-5), but I am able to care for pets before work and anytime after! Your pets will be a priority in my schedule. I will ensure safety for dogs when walking and keep them in safe environments. When caring for your pets in your home, I will maintain their normal routines and keep them at the center of my attention always. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean and as it looked when I arrived. I want to create a safe and comfortable environment where you are stress-free and your pets are happy.

About: I have been taking care of people's pets since I was 12 years old. Dogs, cats, fish, turtles, tortoises, gerbils, hamsters, frogs, lizards, guinea pigs, ferrets, etc. I have experience with everything from Yorkies to Wolfhounds, puppies to seniors, high energy to lazy. I have taken care of indoor cats, outdoor cats, cats who only hide, cats who bite, and cats who love me to death. I have no problem giving medicine, dealing with pets who have unique issues, or with breeds often stereotyped as aggressive. I have four cats, a Yorkie, and a Pitbull at home. I graduated from USC with my BA in English this past December. I plan to attend graduate school in the Fall of 2026. Until then, I am working and saving as both a pet-sitter and a substitute teacher. My schedule is extremely flexible as I decide when and where I work. If I'm substitute teaching, it is between Monday and Friday from 8 AM - 3:30 PM. I do not substitute teach every single day. My weekends, evenings, and summer are especially open. It is extremely nerve-wracking to trust a stranger with a beloved member of your family as well as access to your home. It is my goal to make my clients feel as at ease as possible. I am very easy-going and flexible, so I encourage my clients to simply be honest about their expectations and boundaries. I will take care of your pets, house, garden, etc as if they were my own.

What a godsend! We were hesitant to take a trip as our Benji has high anxiety but Meghann was an absolute gift! She took such great care of our pup and our home. She provided outstanding communication with updates and pictures that made our time away so much more relaxing. We couldn’t believe how Benji warmed up to her. She’s a whisperer! Our home was tidy and clean and she even came back and stayed with our Boy since our return was delayed. Five stars are not enough…. We will definitely book her again and again.
