“Brian is so attentive to our pets and intuitive about what they need. We appreciate the care he provides and are glad we found him! Definitely recommend.”
“Ricky was great! We have a large dog that gets meds and two very curious cats but none of it phased him. He made sure all were comfortable and occupied before leaving. We would definitely have him again!”
About: I've taken care of animals for the majority of my life and take pride in giving them the best. I've worked with canines, felines and exotics in the past at my previous jobs. I also worked at a vet clinic and cherished my time with pets and getting to know their owners. It would be my pleasure to offer my services for walks, drop ins and/or house sitting! Right now my schedule is pretty flexible. I do have a few dates I'm booked for already but happy to work with you to get your pet(s) what they need. First and foremost, I want to make sure we are both on the same page for how your home works, what your pet needs and how I can make it the most enjoyable experience for all involved! I want to make sure your pet is comfortable and the least stressed as possible while you're away. I will read your pet's body language, respect their wishes and make sure they're happy. ☺️
“Sabrina was great with our pups! We had a minor emergency with one of our dogs but she handled it very well and kept us informed throughout the stay. We would definitely recommend Sabrina to other pet parents.”
“Pam was great with our anxious pup! We appreciated the updates and all of her efforts caring for Popcorn. She took great care of our dog and home while we were away :)”
“Michelle is just amazing! She takes such great care of our boys and goes above and beyond every time. We trust her so much we won’t travel unless she’s available to watch Rocco and Henry!”
“Zoe is a blessing! She followed the care instructions for my boys, communicated very well, and took out the trash when she left. I would recommend her anytime!”
“Erin did a great job taking care of our dogs. This was our first time using Rover, and Erin made sure to meet our dogs beforehand and check in detail to ensure she had all the details of their care nailed down. She sent us regular updates and checkins (much appreciated), and knowing our dogs were in good hands made it possible to enjoy our vacation.”
“Abby was absolutely amazing in every sense! She took excellent care of our girl, lots of love and snuggles, walks, and very attentive to her needs. She kept us informed of how the days and nights went, sent pictures and was just a joy to have in our home! We came home to our house in perfect order and we are so very happy to have had her!”
“Anna was amazing with our dog and rabbit! She kept in touch while we were away with pictures and things she was doing with them. Our house was clean when we returned home. Highly recommend!!”
About: I’m a teacher looking to hangout with some cuddly pets this summer! I’ve had cats my entire life (25 years), including two who lived to be 18. I’m experienced with giving medication by syringe and caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve also helped care for friends’ dogs, birds, hamsters, and fish. I’m patient, gentle, and truly love animals. I’m currently a teacher and I have my summers off so my time is very flexible. I am looking for some cute animals to fill my schedule this summer! I treat every pet like family and follow any instructions closely to keep them happy and healthy. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, always clean up after pets, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Tori took care of my dog well. I would gladly utilize her help again!”
“This was our first time using Rover or an in house sitter. We have anxiety about leaving our two dogs as one is old and clingy and the other can be difficult. Claire quickly but us at ease upon meeting here. She obviously has a love for and great sense of pet's needs and personalities. She updated us daily with texts and pictures. Claire went over and above by bringing in delivered packages and doing laundry before she left. Most importantly....our Lucy and Chester had so much fun with her and we're well cared for!! We will definately be using Claire again in the future.”
“Olivia was great! She was patient with Nova and would communicated with me if there were any issues!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, of course, but I also have experience working in a vet clinic/boarding facility as a veterinary assistant. I have experience with most small animals (cats , dogs, and in between)! I’m currently working part-time, so I have lots of time to fit in walks and check-ins with your furry friends while you’re at work or out of town! I can’t wait to spend some time with them! I have offered in-home pet care for many friends and family over the years, given my experience working with animals. I am comfortable with dogs of all personality types and sizes, and will respect the owners wishes on what their restrictions and expectations are for each visit!
“Ariel was great! We booked her to watch our dog and cat while we went on an anniversary trip. It made our time much more enjoyable knowing that our pets were taken care of while we were away. Definitely will be using her again in the future.”
“Kiah helped us out last minute, over a holiday weekend, and was amazing. She was super communicative and sent lots of pictures of our pup. She gave him lots of attention and even let our chickens out for us. She gave me updates multiple times a day and left the house clean. I will absolutely be calling her again!”
“She took such great care of my anxious doggo while there were unforeseen housing issues in my home. She was flexible and very understanding. Would love to work with her again!”
“Rachael did an excellent job as always! Buddy has such a great time with Rachael, and we know that he will always get the best care and attention when we are out of town. Rachael is a great communicator, has a great way with dogs, and makes sure we're getting lots of pictures and videos of Buddy when we're gone.”
“Cortney took amazing care of our Labrador..again! This time she stayed in our home for 3 full weeks. She is entirely dependable. She communicates very well. Most importantly she loves on our dog like crazy! Would definitely recommend her!!! We expect to have her back often!”

15. RanDee H.
“I cannot recommend RanDee highly enough! I have never met anyone with a more genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of their needs. Her kindness and compassion shines not just with pets, but people as well. RanDee took the time to learn about my cats and dog's needs. I have a quirky and very shy cat, but RanDee managed to build a strong bond and gain her trust, nobody else has ever managed to bring Midnight out of her shell like RanDee!! My pets love her as much as she loves them! I never hesitate to have RanDee pet sit and have complete peace of mind when I travel. She sends updates and photos every time I am away. I appreciate the extra attention she gives to my senior cat as well. What really sets RanDee apart is her previous experience working in a veterinary clinic with many different types of pets. She is very calming and loving! If you are looking for someone who will treat your pets like their own- with love, expertise, and care-look no further!”
