Emi-Lu was so great with my two cats! It’s comforting to have sometime to trust while out of town to take care of your babies and Emi-Lu was that for us! She fed them, played with them, and cleaned the litter box (who doesn’t like coming home to a clean litter box - honestly!!!). Will definitely rebook with her in the future!

Do not miss out on Lyle! He is the most loving, thoughtful, reliable person we’ve ever had watch our dogs. We were astonished by his authentic interest in our babies, as well as his deep knowledge about dogs. (He even did extra research about our breed!) After asking for our permission, he worked some magic with scents to make our little one’s feel safe while we were away. We are now able to travel without worry because we have Lyle. We’re so grateful for him.

This was my first time using Rover services and Amy was wonderful. She took care of our cat while we were away and sent us pictures so we could see that our baby was happy and well cared for. Amy sent daily updates, engaged our cat in play time and gave her a little brush, which she loves. Overall I’m very pleased with Rover.com and with the service Amy provided, I highly recommend her.

Makaila was absolutely fantastic watching our cat for five days. Our cat is a rescue stray, off the streets, and is very skittish. She went above and beyond to try to make friends and to put my cat at ease. She was on time, super friendly, made sure to do a meet and greet before the scheduled pet sitting, and made sure my cat was well fed, and played ball with her. Truly can’t recommend her enough! Your pet is in wonderful hands with her!

I really hate to give Barb a great review since then everyone will want her. I have used Barb several times to watch my two cats. She is reliable, leaves the house in good order, and looks around for the cats and appreciates how well they hide.

About: I’ve been around fur babies my entire life, caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I’m comfortable using the intuitive understanding of their needs and behaviors that I have gained throughout my years to adapt my care to match each dog’s unique temperament and routine. I’ve also spent time caring for senior pets for family members, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentleness they require, whether that means maintaining routines, supporting mobility, or offering calm companionship. On top of that, I’ve raised and cared for my own stubborn shih tzu, which taught me a lot about patience and how to handle strong-willed dogs with both structure and love. What sets my care apart from most, I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach, I focus on truly knowing each pet as if they were my own: learning their personality, respecting their routine, and creating a safe, stress-free environment where they feel secure and loved. Clients can expect reliable communication, updates, and the peace of mind that their pet is not just being watched but cared for. As a college student home for the summer, pet care fits seamlessly into a very open and flexible schedule. With ample availability throughout the day and week, there is plenty of time to provide attentive, consistent care. This flexibility allows for adapting to each pet’s routine and ensuring they receive the time and attention they deserve. Creating a comfortable and trustworthy environment is always the top priority. Care is tailored to each pet’s routine to keep things familiar and stress-free, with close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions provided. Walks are always done with safety in mind, using secure leashing and awareness of surroundings. In a client’s home, respect for both the space and the pet’s comfort is key: keeping things clean, calm, and consistent while maintaining open communication. The goal is to ensure every pet feels secure, cared for, and happy, while giving owners absolute peace of mind.

Reviews only allow 5 stars but if I could, I’d give Laura 10. Or 15. She’s terrific. She provided loving care and attention to my two cats, took care of my home, sent lots of pictures and detailed updates. I would rebook her again in a heartbeat.

About: I started dog sitting in 2022 for a coworker at the time, and since then I now have 9 different families I regularly sit for. I have experience with a range of dogs (from Toy Aussies to German Shepherds) as well as cats, which I grew up with, and some experience with fish and birds. I love all kinds of animals and getting to know their individual quirks and personalities! I am primarily doing online classes for school and working part-time. My working schedule can be flexible with advanced notice so I can spend the most time with your pet(s)! Whatever is best for you and your pet is what I provide! I’ve cared for very high-maintenance dogs that need multiple walks a day, special diets, etc., as well as very chill dogs that just come in and out as they please and eat whenever they want. I’m very flexible to provide whatever care the pet requires!

About: Dogs have always been in the family since I was 8 and my dog’s name is Riley. He’s a German shepherd mix. He’s been my running buddy for years. I like to go on walks and runs and would love bring some buddies along with me! I can also bring any dogs that require a bit more exercise to the dog park for some runs. I have fenced yard with plenty of space for runs and a ranch style home for any older pups who don’t like to climb stairs.

Steph is the perfect pet sitter for my Gracie. She has a border collie just like mine so she is well aware of their energy levels and high sensitivity. You can tell Gracie loves when Steph comes over to visit her. Steph gets a lot of that energy out that is getting built up while Gracie is home alone and shows a lot of love for her. I know I can trust her while I’m away.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have a 2-year-old Australian Cattle Dog and experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I also foster dogs and love helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I treat every dog like my own. I currently work full time in a hybrid position, which gives me the flexibility to care for pups during certain weekdays as well as weekends. Whether you’re at work or planning a little getaway, you can feel confident knowing your dog will be well cared for, loved, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. While your pet is here, they’ll be treated like part of the family. They’re welcome to relax and roam around the house with our dog, but if your pup is more shy or prefers their own space, we also have a quiet room where they can unwind comfortably. Since our yard is not fenced in, all outdoor time will be supervised and on a leash to keep everyone safe. And if your dog loves walks, even better — we enjoy going on daily walks and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention.
