Gabriel was fantastic.. He made sure to have taken out and kept the house clean. He also got a smaller bag of food for the pups as the bags that were in the pantry ran out. The fish were fed daily, He took both dogs for walks daily too and shoveled out some snow from the deck to make a path for them to get to the yard and cleared out snow from the stairs from the deck too. I’m so happy with his work. Highly recommend

Liz was absolutely fabulous with our (very large!) golden, Cutiepie! While I was initially nervous with our very first petsitter/housesitter, I ended up ecstatic that we had such a lovely person to play with and care for Cutie and look after our home while we were out of town. We received regular photo and text updates, and I was quickly notified about any questions she might have about Cutie's needs. Liz herself has such a wonderful, friendly, and easy going manner about her as well; I felt immediately comfortable with her in my home and with my dog (who has now adopted Liz as her BFF and already misses her!). House was tidy when we returned and Cutie was happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I'll definitely be booking Liz again next time we need to leave Cutie at home alone! Thank you Liz for being the perfect companion to Cutie while we were away! Couldn't have asked for a better petsitter! <3

About: I’ve had pit bulls as pets my whole life since I was born, so I’ve quickly learned how to take care of puppies and senior dogs. I am also on another app called wag where I’ve walked all kinds of dogs big and small. Helping people with their pets has always been something I love. I’m currently in college to be a forensic scientist! I’m unavailable Mondays/Wednesday's for school but you can always ask just in case! I am currently trying to make some extra money on the side for moving come November 1st Dogs in my home were never crated, however ive taken care of others dogs where they were to be put in a crate and it has never been an issue. Any rules you have for your pet is a rule I will follow as well as it is your home and your pet.

Grace is amazing! She spent the week with our 4 babies over Thanksgiving and we didn’t have to worry about a thing! Grace made sure they had plenty of exercise, love and treats; she was quick to respond and sent daily pictures. She was even willing to help out with little things like collecting mail and trash day. We will definitely be keeping in touch with her for future trips!!

Joshua stepped in to help on short notice when I had to travel overnight for a funeral. (I just moved in and wasn’t even completely unpacked yet.) He visited before staying over night to meet my dog and me. He’s a great communicator and sent videos in addition to messages to let me know Scout was doing well. Joshua has a great vibe and made me feel relaxed about handing over my key to a person I just met. The house looked like no one even stayed here. He was great with Scout and I’ll definitely ask him for help on a regular basis.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for both small and large breeds. I’ve worked with a wide range of personalities and understand that every dog is different. I’m patient and take the time to help each dog feel comfortable and build trust at their own pace. I have years of experience dog sitting for family members and am confident with basic training, routines, and frequent potty breaks. I’m also experienced in calming hyper or anxious dogs with a gentle, attentive approach. I treat every dog like my own and will keep you updated while they’re in my care. If anything ever seems off or your dog feels uneasy, I will notify you right away. Since I work weekends, I’m fully available during the week to focus on pet care. This allows me to provide reliable attention, regular walks, feeding, and a consistent routine. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always create a calm, clean, and secure environment, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and potty breaks, to keep things consistent and stress-free. I’m very attentive and always supervise pets to ensure their safety. I take time to build trust, especially with anxious or high-energy dogs, and use a patient, gentle approach. I also keep owners updated and will immediately communicate if anything seems off or unusual.

Detail oriented, thorough, kind, excellent planning and foresight, just awesome! This was my first Rover experience at the time of my booking I had an elderly dog and three cats, we had not gone on vacation in years due to our dog having arthritis and other health issues, but we had gotten her to a point where she was doing really well and we felt we could leave her with someone. I needed someone who could administer meds, live at the house and be otherwise highly attentive to her needs and our cats. I had about given up on some of the people I’d spoken with on Rover, I just didn’t feel comfortable with anyone. Enter Jillian. In our initial texts I got a very positive vibe and immediately liked her. We hadn’t even met yet but I could tell she was a gem. When she came to the house to meet our pets she was aces and again I instinctively knew she was going to be great. Since our meeting our dog very suddenly passed away and when I let Jillian know her response was compassionate and she gave me some time to figure out what we would do. When we spoke again we decided on two visits a day for the cats and she sprang into action to adjust our booking. Jillian was every bit as great as I knew she would be and even surpassed my expectations. This woman is thorough, she thinks ahead, she looks to solve issues even before they happen. We had a snow storm while we were gone and she made sure she got to the house. We received daily photos of all of the cats, who by the way hide from strangers all the time, but not Jillian! I think she’s a cat whisperer of some sort. She was on time for her visits, left the place clean, took her shoes off to walk around the house, so thoughtful!! On prior vacations when I’ve left my pets I always notice they’re a little ‘off’ when I return, not with Jillian. They were very much themselves which speaks volumes. I highly highly highly recommend her. We are already booking another trip because this was the first time in years that I really relaxed and didn’t feel any worry about the pets.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, bunnies, and birds. Growing up with different types of animals taught me how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic dogs who need structured walks and play, to smaller animals that require gentle handling and consistency. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and mood to make sure every pet is happy, healthy, and comfortable. I currently have open availability, which allows me to be flexible and fully accommodate your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care, I can adjust my schedule to fit their needs. Because I’m not rushing between commitments, I’m able to give each pet focused, unhurried attention during every visit. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most safe and comfortable. My approach is always needs-based, meaning I follow your pet’s routine closely and adjust to their personality. whether they need lots of interaction or a calm, low-key presence.

About: While my experience is mostly with seniors, I love and have experience with all age ranges. I've also cared for dogs that have had some medical issues and am super attentive to all my fur babies. I currently work full-time, but my hours are extremely flexible. I am in office Thurs-Sun, but my work day can end anywhere between 8am & 3pm. If I have pets in my home, I do provide a bed, feeding bowls, snacks, toys, and a lot of affection. I have a private park across the street as well as a fenced in backyard, depending on what the needs are. I am also located near Bushnell Park in case some extra running around is needed. I am good at giving medicine, if need be.

Matt and Marybeth stayed at our home for 3 days to watch our Newfie. They were absolutely terrific from the first communication through the entire stay— always very prompt, thorough and quickly asked questions as needed. They kept us informed throughout the stay with updates & pics. You can tell from the pics that our Newfie was enjoying her time with them. If we could give them more than 5 stars we would. We plan to use them again.
