“Our kitty seems healthy and happy when she has been with Tawnia! Tawnia always gives thorough updates and asks questions when needed. We really appreciate her!”
“Cheri did a great job dropping in on our pets and reassuring them when we traveled! She was consistent and timely, sent great pictures, and our animals were clearly happy and at ease with her. We are very happy and hope to work with her again in the future!”
“When Holly came to deliver the key, my little dog Joanie knew the sound of their vehicle, and was very excited and happy to see her! Joanie is never happy to see anyone, except me when I come home. You cannot get a better reference than that:)”
“Kim was absolutely wonderful with our babies - she has a very clear passion for animals that is reflected in the care she gives. We asked her to come and spend time with our pup while we were at work, and she even took the time to give our cats some love while she was at it. She followed our instructions, took lots of photos, and left our house just as we had left it. Our pup seemed exceptionally happy when we got home, and I have no doubt it was due to the wonderful care and attention given to him from Kim. We will absolutely be asking Kim to help us with any future animal care.”
“Brooke went above and beyond taking care of our babies. She communicated very well and we were very comfortable with how she cared for them. Will definitely be booking again in the future. Thank you so much!”
About: I've been a pet caretaker for most of my 45 years, but I only put 25 in the years experience because those adult years of my life have been most dedicated to pet care. I am a serial adopter of rescue animals, so I'm well versed in pet conditions that need special care. I don't crate our animals and I love them all unconditionally. If you have a pet that needs special attention or even a modicum of training, I'd be happy to help you take care of them. I'm a military veteran and author working from home. I spend my entire day spoiling my pets (I have both cats and dogs, and they get along well enough). I walk the dogs daily, sometimes more than once. The dogs get brushed regularly and the cats get brushed if they make an appearance or we can catch them. As mentioned earlier, I do not crate our pets. I prefer to let them roam, but I occasionally do block off certain areas of the house to prevent naughty behavior. The pets are always rewarded for good behavior with snacks.
“Christina is AMAZING!!!! I think my pup was disappointed to see me walk through the door. Her communication/feedback is superior. I don’t trust anyone BUT Christina with my ball of fluff. I highly recommend her…in fact I am going to re-book for my next trip right now!!!”
“Kayla was amazing, never had a single worry, she sent pics and kept us updated which was wonderful. I would highly recommended using her for any pet needs.”
“Shene left details on each visit and took excellent care of my cat and plants while we were gone. Highly recommend!”
“Seneca is really the best. I appreciate her so much checking on my dog when I am at work. She is friendly and I TRUST her so much with Marina. She is the best.”
“Savannah did a wonderful job watching my cats this past weekend. She was willing to come to the house for a meet and greet the weekend prior and checked in with a Rover card and sweet photos of the cats during her drop-in. Would definitely recommend!”
“Max dropped in to check on my two cats, fed and gave them some attention twice a day over Memorial Day weekend. I found them in good condition on my return. Thanks, Max!”
“Jana was an excellent cat sitter! If you have cats, I’d highly recommend her. She was reliable and had great communication skills. She even stopped by my house before we left town so I could review everything with her beforehand. She also was great with CoPilot!”
“Adrienne was an excellent sitter/walker for my hyperactive Brittany. He needs his walks in foothills daily and Adrienne was prompt with her arrivals and always provided a cute photo of my pup enjoying his walk. This really put me at ease for my first trip away from my dog. I would highly recommend Adrienne for your sitter/walker needs!”
“Ella is absolutely wonderful with my little guy!! Thank you so, so much for taking such great care of Gibson.”
“I've never used a service like Rover before, so I was initially a bit nervous with how my dog would respond to James visiting without my presence. However, James took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand and was gentle and patient with my dog Riley. I appreciated his updates and photos while I was at work. I'm sure Riley will continue to warm up to James with continued visits.”
About: I am proficient in caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and personalities - including responsibilities like daily feedings, walks, basic grooming, administering medications, and reinforcing training. I have had my sweet baby Ares - my gentle giant Golden Retriever - for 4 years, and before that have cared for many different dogs - particularly my family's Labs Ava and Annie. I am a very active person and love to go on walks, runs, and hikes, but would love it even more if I got to spend time with your fur baby! I am more than happy to accommodate your schedule, and am dedicated to ensuring your pet's safety and comfort. I have a very open schedule and am extremely flexible when it comes to accommodating specific times needed for pet care. Tailoring my schedule is no problem at all! I take this responsibility very seriously and understand that the care of one’s pet requires a great deal of trust. I am very conscientious about maintaining a secure environment, following instructions precisely, and communicating promptly with any concerns or updates. I am dedicated to providing both excellent care for pets, and peace of mind for their parents!
About: I’ve been pet sitting and housesitting for many years for many different people. From dogs and cats all the way to lizards, roosters and birds. I can train dogs (not certified) and know how to handle vet emergencies efficiently. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. No need to stress about them getting enough attention. I have many pets in my home including dogs and cats but have a big enough space where animals can be kept separate if needed without being kept in a tiny space.
“Heaven took excellent care of my cats. She sent entertaining and informative messages each day along with happy cat photos. My cats seemed disappointed that their vacation ended upon my return. I will definitely be asking for Heaven’s services again in the future.”
“Candace did drop-ins twice a day for 10 days while I was out of state. My blind cat Izzy took to her quickly. Candace sent several pictures daily and stayed extra a couple of times: during a wind storm to comfort her and another time to take a nap with her. I would definitely hire Candace again.”

17. Avery M.
“Avery is amazing with animals and incredibly responsible, loving, and trustworthy- I'd leave my pets with her any day and know they are in the best hands. I have a cat that is an escape artist and worry about pet sitters not being mindful of open doors. Avery has always been extra cautious with my cat and understands the nervousness I have about her escaping. She listens to my concerns and more importantly understands their importance. I know she cares for my pets like they are her own, and if anything were to happen to them while I was away, she would do everything in her power to make sure they are safe and happy. She is an excellent caregiver, and I could not recommend her more.”
18. Jaden C.
“I've known Jaden for quite awhile now, as she cares for my 4 cats and my husky when I go on vacation. She has always loved animals and is VERY kind and patient. She gives all she has and more to each and everyone of them. She walks my dog and takes her to the park as my dog LOVES to run. She will do an excellent job and you will be proud to have her work for you. Thank you for your time.”
