“Love Hannah & Tiffany!! Panicked because my boarder closed & I’m picky about who watches my pups. However, they were able to drop in & my pups loved them. I will definitely ask for their assistance again & cannot recommend them enough.”

“Nicole is excellent with our dog, Craig, and cat, Betty. They love her! She has done in-house sitting jobs for us previously, and we have just had her pop in to look after Betty this past weekend. Couldn’t be happier with her service, and have no hesitations in recommending her.”
“Allison is amazing!! After reading all her great reviews and our first meet-up, I knew without a doubt that I picked the best sitter! Roscoe had 2 surgeries on April 18th, and needs some extra post-surgery care with extra feedings and potty breaks while we are at work. Allison did two twice a day drop-ins to help with Roscoe's needs and is doing again for us this week. We couldn't be happier!! She went above and beyond taking great care of Roscoe. Her professionalism and sweet caring heart does not go unnoticed! Roscoe said he can't wait to spend more time Allison when boarding is needed in the near future!”

“As much as I love my Luna (and trust me, it's a LOT) I know she isn't the easiest or friendliest cat in the world. Which I shared with Ashley! Despite this, she kept trying to get my girl to play and provided a helpful update every day. I'm really grateful for everything Ashley did so we could have some peace of mind on our trip.”

“Rodrigo was able to come do a drop-in for me very last-minute. He was very responsive, prompt, and punctual and I really appreciated his help! My dogs were happy upon my return and it was such a relief. Would definitely hire again.”

“They are so sweet, friendly and amazing. Came over prior to meet our pup and get comfortable. You could tell they knew dogs and made us feel safe with them watching our dog. Will definitely be referring and using again! Thank you both!”

About: Ive owned 3 dogs of my own, i enjoy walking and playing outdoors so adding a dog makes things 10x better! I have experience overnight sitting and just popping in on my lunch breaks for my neighbors and pastors dogs I work 10-4 monday-thrusday but im open all weekend, before and after work as well. I work 5 minutes down the road from my home so I don't have a long commute leaving more time to see pets! im there to focus on the pets, i ensure to leave a list and updates of everything done and i dont want to invade on your space! i like being told where toys, food, leashes etc can all be found to ensure i create a fun environment for your pet!,
“Sarah took wonderful care of our girls! They were clearly well cared for and loved while we were out of town. Prompt communication, very reliable, and great care for our pups. Thank you Sarah!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better pup sitter for my little Ellie. From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. Elias went above and beyond to make sure Ellie was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of during my time away. I especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and little notes about how she was doing—it really reassured me that she was enjoying herself and getting lots of love and attention. When family retuned home, Ellie was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s not easy trusting someone else with your pet, but Elias made the whole experience stress-free. I would absolutely recommend Elias to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”


“Taylor was very kind and made sure all of our cats were well taken care of. We appreciate her promptness and coming to our house before booking for a meet greet.”
“Xeque was excellent with our kitties. She did great at keeping us updated on how they were doing and was very respectful! Highly recommend her services and will absolutely be reaching out again if ever needing services again!”

“Carlita treated my baby just as I would. She was very timely, she ensured to do all the things I do for my dog (heat her food, put on her pajamas, etc). Zoe was always excited to see her. She took such excellent care of Zoe. It’s hard to find good people you trust with your pets who are family and I’m so glad to have found her!”

About: I’m a parent of a ragdoll. Equip of taking medicine, nail clipping, paw trimming and cat washing. I also have a pet dryer set up for her.0 I’m currently working from home full time so I’m very flexible with schedules. I’m very easy going so just communicate and there’s nothing we can’t figure out. I have all wooded floor in the first floor solely for stay over dogs to keep them comfort and stay away from cats if needed, same situation for cats if needed.
“This was our first time booking Paige and she did amazing! Great communication and sent the cutest photos of our cats. We knew the girls were well loved and taken care of. We highly recommend her!”

About: I worked at a vet hospital and had the opportunity to be around, care for, and play with lots of different dogs and cats. I would administer medicine, clean areas for animals so they are safe, make them the most comfy, walk the dogs, clean litter boxes, even throw in a few treats when possible. I am currently a full time college student. I’m working on my bachelors in animal science. I’m able to have a wide variety of availability. I will make sure bowls are clean, food properly measured or full, water refreshed with every visit, tummies are full, and hearts are the happiest they can be. Every animal is always treated as if it were my own. Each animal deserves only the best of care.

About: I will go above and beyond for your fur baby! I take pictures and can text them to you throughout your pets stay with me. I spend a lot of time with them and treat them as one of my own. I am even willing and eager to help with training while they are in my care! I work for myself so if I do have to go out it is not for an extended period of time. I also make homemade treats for my dog so if your dog has an allergy I can accommodate that as well! My boyfriend lives with me and loves dogs as well! I have 1 dog of my own! Jack is my 5 year old boxer mix! They are the loves of my life! I am always willing to do a meet and greet but I don't require it.
South pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah went beyond than just a drop in sitter she took out her time or extra time to spend with my fur babies which they both stopped eating because of my being away. I really appreciate her patience and her love for my pets I definitely would a repeat her as a sitter 💕💕💕.

Stephanie was such a fantastic caretaker for our dog ! Nothing but great things to say about all her care, attention, and communication ! Would strongly recommend if you're looking for someone to take care of your furry family member. Bodhi is already looking forward to the next time he gets to see his new friend !

Arely was simply fantastic with our two senior dogs! She arrived at every visit promptly, fed and treated our babies wonderfully, snapped some great pictures (honestly, I'm impressed) and made sure to lock the house up afterwards. We even had to change our booking last minute and Arely was very accommodating! She gave us peace of mind while we away and we look forward to using her again!
