Thank you Sterlin!”


“Sam has been amazing! Great communicator answered super fast especially when I reached out last minute in a pinch ! Gave me such peace of mind knowing someone was with my baby! She put a bunch of pictures which was also amazing to see eve smiling and running around!

“James and his sweet family took excellent care of Maggie! I have never left her except with a friend who knows her well. That now will change as I feel so confident she was well cared for as the many pictures sent and neighbors commenting! One neighbor saw James wiping her paws before coming into the house! How awesome is James!!! ❤️”


“Ashlee was amazing with my pup. She’s very responsible and super friendly.”


“Bre was so good for our little girl! Very attentive and very caring towards our cat, and always on-time for the drop-in visits. Definitely would book again!”


“Prompt, personable, reliable and very good with Noah!”


About: I've had animals as a part of my life for almost ALL of my life. Three cats who lived good long lives and 5 dogs (3 from pups and two rescues). This doesn't even mention the greater family tree with tons of cats and dogs around. I'm the person that chills with the animals at the party. I have a lot of time to take care of your small furry child. I have a few meetings through the week but lasting only 3 hours, I can run back at any point to lavish your pet in love and attention. Due to the nature of our rescue at home, I'm well rounded in procedures and safety precautions. Any routines or needs your baby has, I can and will accommodate. I'm on alert to make sure everyone is happy and copacetic.

About: Seeing a dog can turn the worst day into a happy one! Shared responsibilities with our family golden retriever for duration of his life, and I love making them feel appreciated, cared for, and satisfied with all of the attention and pets they want! I’ve been known to get our dogs to take their medicine in creative ways! Dogs big and small are welcomed! I’m a full time elementary school teacher, so I have a consistent schedule and availability during most holidays, breaks, and weekends outside of weekday afternoons. Depending on location, first visits can be done starting at 4pm any given day. Stopping by to see your loved ones after a long work day would be my pleasure! Due to my job as a teacher, my Friday boarding availability begins at 4:30pm until summer unless noted below: With our home recently pet-free, we have the ability to board animals in our home. We live near a dog park, a great walking trail, and a chance to board multiple pets at once if needed. During drop in visits, I can be quick and efficient, or spend time playing, walking, or making sure your friends are set up perfectly while they’re home alone. However your pet would like to be interacted with works for me! I can also offer litter box scooping for cats or helping give medications orally for cats or dogs.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for years and have tons of professional experience working with all dogs, cats, reptiles, and more. I Have worked in a pet store for years, Have 20 animals of my own including a dog, 3 cats, 5 bunnies, an hedgehog and lots of reptiles. I grew up with 3 cats and 2 dogs so I’m very good with them no matter what size. Since I was young animals especially dogs have followed me everywhere I go, I’ve never met a dog who didn’t like me. I’d absolutely love to meet and care for your 4 legged friends, or any other little critters you may have! This is currently my full time job so I have very open availability and time to spend with your furry friends. Playing, cuddling, and having snacks I have a fenced in yard with a pool, the pool has a pool cover on it that is very strong in the winter. But I do not allow dogs on the pool cover for obvious reasons. In addition I have a fenced side yard with no access to the pool (I will gladly take your dog in that yard if your more comfortable) dogs are kept out of the kitchen as to not be able to get in the trash. Bedroom doors and bathroom doors are shut to prevent chewing.but dogs ARE allowed on couches. Dogs are taken out many times during the day, when ever they need to go but typically every 2 hours for about 15-20 minutes depending on their mood, if they want to play we’ll stay out longer. we love to hang out in the back yard most days if the weather is nice, if it’s rainy or cold we love to play inside and cuddle on the couch.

About: I have a raging love for animals and I’m fascinated by them. I have taken care of a lot of young kids and been around many animals! I love to take care of people and animals and would love to take care of yours! I am a college student and work at the same time so I can do weekends, Mondays after 2:30, Tuesdays before 2, Wednesdays after 5:30 and Thursdays after 2 I can keep your fur baby company and keep them safe in the environment they are in! Most likely, they will be in the client’s home, meaning I can take care of them as similarly as possible to how you do!

“Elizabeth was my first rover sitter and I was so so impressed. She came over A-day early to meet my animals because my dog can sometimes be difficult around new people. Very patient and loving with him and when she did her drop in she would send me loads of photos videos and a written report on what happened during the visit. She was amazing with my rat Zin and the kitties and her videos always made me laugh. She was a previous vet tech at my vet so I felt very reassured of my zoos care of something should happen. She is wonderful and I had such peace of mind leaving my animals in her care. 15/10 stars”


“I found Adriana to be a genuinely concerned, personable and intelligent sitter/companion to Kali ( the Calico) while I was away. She made it a point to befriend Kali and sent pictures every time she visited. I will definitely ask her to sit, the next time the need arises.”


About: I have been around pets since I was born. We grew up with numerous cats and dogs. I have always helped to take care of feeding them and grooming them or helping them to the vet. I am an animal lover at heart. I probably love them more than humans. I help out my dad with his dogs, my sister with her cat snd dogs and local friends with theirs. I am dependable and reliable. I teach during the school year but i am available all summer long. Even during the school year I am able to help out on evenings and on weekends. Just let me know where and when I can help out.

Andrew B.
“Andi did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Maven, who is a large breed & hyper ball of energy! Maven can be quite a handful, but Andi managed him so well. His patience and understanding of Maven's high energy were impressive, and I could tell my dog was in great hands.”


Joseph A.
“I have known Joey for over 15 years, and he is a wonderful, compassionate, hard-working human. He has provided excellent care when boarding my high energy, 80 pound fur baby. I am always cautious when booking care for my dog because he has a habit of getting into stuff when he is bored, which can be destructive or dangerous. When my dog was boarded with Joey, I knew he would be kept safe! Joey walked him regularly, kept him safe, and made him feel right at home with snuggles. He was happy to provide an update whenever I was missing my pup and he sent plenty of pictures! I absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pup. I would absolutely board my dog with him again.”


Keira M.
“Keira is amazing with all of our pets. She is caring, prompt, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. Keira has taken care of our dogs, fish, and guinea pig on many occasions and we always know that they are in good hands. The best part bout having Keira around is that it is clear that she loves our pets as much as we do. I would highly recommend her services.”


Mahek P.
“Every single time Mahek sees a pet she automatically tries to see if she can pet them. She is a genuine animal lover through and through. She has dog sit for me on multiple ocassions before, and every time she puts in so much effort to make sure my pup is happy and active. Sometimes I think my dog likes her more than me! But I love her dearly and I would trust her with my pet anyday and you guys should too!”
