“Joanna was very easy to work with and took great care of my two cats. I was a last minute booking and we didn’t have time to meet, but she followed directions to a T and gave me thorough updates each day. I was really surprised to hear how friendly my one typically grumpy cat was towards her - I guess he sensed she was a good person! Joanna provided plenty of pictures and plenty of love towards my babies. I will definitely keep her in mind for the next time I’m going out of town!”


“Lee was just amazing with our cats! We felt confident in her abilities, and she connected instantly with our furbabies! She went out of her way to spend extra time playing with them and grooming as well. We will not hesitate to utilize her again the next time we go out of town.”


“Gabriella was very invested in our cat’s wellbeing while we were gone and went above and beyond. She made sure he had company and got everything he needed. I really appreciated her time investment and transparent, picture-laden updates at every check-in. Definitely recommended to book her!”


“Angela watched our cat. It was the first time we used a sitter and I was a little apprehensive about the experience as Missy is an older cat and is not used to 'strangers'. Angela kept us well informed on Missy's behavior and routine at her house and sent pictures regularly. We felt reassured and were confident that she was well taken care of. We will definitely ask Angela to keep Missy, if the need arises again.”


“Rachel was great taking care of my cat for the week! She was very communicative, available, and above all else very good with animals! Would rebook again in the future. Thank you!”


“Lauren & Joseph took great care of our GSD russ while we were out on vacation! Photos of every drop-in were provided and communication was excellent. They went above and beyond by cleaning up after our dog in his backyard area!! Would definitely suggest going with them if you’re looking for exceptional care and will definitely be using them in the future!!”


“We are so happy to have found Jenna on Rover. She is wonderful with our two dogs. She is reliable and very detail oriented. We felt very confident and comfortable going out of town. We looked forward to getting her reports and lots of pictures while we were away. Thank you Jenna!”


“Carolyn is very knowledgeable and fantastic at what she does ? I tried booking puppy care with her and even though she was at capacity she still made an effort to find a solution for me, offering to do puppy drop ins and even came by to meet us that same night. She was on time, loved on our pups, took lots of photos, and Gabe us updates. Love her and will definitely book eith her again!”


“Amanda was very sweet when she came for a meet and greet with our dogs. She is knowledgeable about handling dogs and medicines. She did a great job sitting for us. My dogs were very happy with her. And we are very happy to find her!”

About: My journey with animals started early. I got my very own puppy when I was 12 years old and took her through all the training classes, determined to be the best little dog owner I could be. Since then, my love and care for animals has only grown stronger. In my adult life, I've raised two amazing pups. My sweet boy Ozzie, a shih tzu/bichon frisé mix, crossed the rainbow bridge in late 2024 after a brave battle with cancer. Now I share life with my little guy Tobie — a toy poodle/mini schnauzer mix who's been with me since he was just 20 weeks old. He's now 7, full of personality, and spoiled with love (as it should be!). Outside of pet care, I’m a wife, a mom to a fun-loving toddler, and I work a full-time job during weekday hours (roughly 9–5). That said, I still have a flexible schedule and am more than happy to carve out time for your furry friends. Whether you need a reliable dog walker, a drop-in buddy, or a caring house sitter, I’ve got you covered. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets — someone who will care for them like you do. When your pets are with me, they’re treated like family, because that’s exactly what they are. While I currently don’t offer pet sitting in my home until I’ve built a relationship with your pet, I’m more than happy to care for them in their own familiar space. I’ll follow your routines, respect your house rules, and do everything I can to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and maybe even like they're the ones on vacation! 😊

About: I am 24 years old and have pet sat before back home. I am a preschool teacher right now but looking to make some extra money for my upcoming wedding. I have 2 dogs that live with me here and a dog and cat back home with my family! I have grown up with animals my whole life and pet sat for many family members and friends. I am an huge animal person so I would love to give service to anyone who needs it. I will do whatever needed to give your pets the best care possible while you’re away. I do anything such as walking, feeding, taking out for play time and just hanging around. I will make sure the dogs and cats I watch/pet sit for have everything they need and regularly make sure they are taken out and played with. I work a normal 8 hour job so I would be able to come in the mornings/after work and evenings/nights. I also have most weekends open so I would be able to Hangout with your pet all weekend! I would be able to play outside and run with your dog as often as needed to make sure they get the play time that they deserve!

“Shauna did such a great job taking care of my dogs and cats. She provided plenty of updates and pictures, and I felt at ease the entire time I was gone. I knew my animals were in good hands.”


About: Hi pet parents! My Name is Haleigh and I’ve been pet sitting for 8+ years! I currently work with dogs in my job and have for about 2 years now. As a dog parent myself I can understand how anxious we can be when we’re away from our pets. Your pets will always remain safe with me as I am pet CPR + first aid certified! I try to send as many pictures/videos of your pets and give updates to ease your anxiety and assure you! In my care, your pets will always be happy and well taken care of! When it comes to dogs no breed is bad. I especially love the giant cuddly pups! Not only am I trustworthy but I am reliable for you and your pets! I have experience with all sizes and breeds, aggressive dogs, anxious dogs, senior dogs, puppies, dogs who need medications cats/kittens, and I even have little dog training experience + advanced dog behavior knowledge. When staying in your home I stay very tidy and clean up well after myself and the pets. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to message me. I hope to meet you and your pups soon 🐕🤍 I have plenty of time to care, play, and love on your pets! When your animals are in my care they are my first priority! I always love getting details/instructions on how your routine is with your dog so I can stay the closest to your dogs routines. Dogs are based off of structure and I know how important a routine is to them. Like mentioned, I am experienced with many types of dogs including aggressive. In my care, dogs will always be safe and in a positive environment. Please be sure to let me know of any special diets + allergies that your pets have.
