“Paige was amazing!!! She took such great care of Bella and went the extra mile when Bella wasn’t eating to figure out how to get her to eat a little and to check in with us. She sent us updates and pictures. I can’t tell you how awesome it was to know our baby was in good hands and being spoiled while we were away !!”


“My girls LOVED her! I was able to relax and enjoy vacation knowing they were in great hands. I also loved that she would send video and photo updates throughout the week! Will definitely use her again!”


“Always super helpful and nice when I book with her. This was a last minute booking and I’m so thankful she was available. My dog has crazy anxiety and compared to the first time and this one she took barely any time to get used to Kaelin.”


“Gabby was absolutely wonderful! For an over protective dog mom and first time Rover user, I could not have picked a better sitter. Gabby was quick to respond, answered all my questions, met with my dogs and I prior to sitting and made the process so easy. She spent extra time loving on the dogs and sent a lot of update photos. Gabby treated my dogs as if they were her own. If I could give her a 10 star rating I would! We will definitely be booking with Gabby for all of our dog sitting needs! ?”


“Ellie is an absolute pleasure. She's exceptionally polite and very efficient with her time. She stayed with my pup and gave her plenty of walks, lots of time and care and I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND her. She was pleasant from the meet n greet all the way to the end. She asked great questions to ensure she knew as much as she could including any of homesitting needs before staying at my home. She also sent me tons of updates and photos while I was away. I was so comfortable with her and her communication was tip top! If anyone is need of a sitter, Ellie is your person, hands down! BOOK HER NOW!!!!”


“Megan was great! Arrived right at the appointed time (early, actually!) and communicated a lot throughout our trip, sending lots of pics of the dogs each day. She left our house very clean as well! Would definitely hire her again for a future trip!”


“Cody was with our Odin for 10 long days. We missed our guy tons but Cody checked in often and sent us lots of pics and updates. And spoiled him with fun activities. Runs and wrestling. Odin even tired to leave with Cody when it was time for him to go! Our house was in perfect condition as well. Cody is a wonderful care taker and our go to guy when we need a pet sitter! Thank you so much Cody!”


“Libby was absolutely amazing! She sent picture mail to us daily while we were on our cruise, and took such great care of our pets! She’s watching them again for us at the end of this month. Highly, highly recommend! My mind was at ease with our dog knowing she was in her own home being taken care of!”


“I highly recommend Justin as your fur baby sitter! He was here on time. He took amazing care of our two little fur babies. He let them outside and played with them. They were given lots of attention. He also respected our home. He is super friendly and trustworthy.”


“Kam did an excellent job and was a pleasure to work with. She is very communicative and thoughtful. Our dog - who is usually quite anxious - was extremely comfortable and relaxed with her while we were on vacation, even over the 4th of July when loud noises usually bother him. Kam stayed at our home and sent lots of cute dog pics while we were away. Highly recommend!”


About: My family has relied on me to take care of the animals and strays I take care of. I love providing hospitality to those who don’t have anywhere else to go. I could never turn away a stray, and love taking care of animals of all breeds! I am currently working on being a student and wanted to find a way to include my passion of animals into my schedule, and am available to take care of your babies day and night! I would normally stay at a clients home as my living situation doesn’t provide a fenced in yard or a huge play space, however I have been in a situation where that is available, and I get used to certain accommodations quickly.

“Dajon was wonderful with Sadie. She suffers from severe anxiety & she was comfortable with him immediately. Dajon sends lots of updates & he was so flexible with my schedule. I am so grateful that I found him & I will definitely use him again. Thank you so much, Dajon!!”



“Savannah was wonderful! She sent pictures and gave updates on my Sal &Mario . The dogs loved her and she was very professional and prompt. I would definitely recommend her and we will be having her watch our little guys again.”


“Madison was great! She took care of our dog, rabbit, and fish tanks for a week in our home and everything was in perfect shape when we came back. We got daily updates and photos of the animals and they all looked like they were having a great time. We will definitely have Madison back!”


“Michelle was perfect. She was so sweet and loving. We had a meeting before hand to make sure she was comfortable with our crew and it went great you can tell she has a big heart for animals. Our kitty Callie has some special needs and hasn't been feeling great she was really understanding and accommodating. We will definitely use Michelle for our pets again!”


About: I have cared for a good amount of dogs, mine included who me and my family have had for about 7 years. I have dog sat for many of my family friends. Those include some older dogs and some puppies. I am able to administer medication for dogs that need it. As well as play and assist with training younger dogs who have a bunch of energy.

I am typically available after 6pm on week days, Wednesdays I am completely free and Thursdays I am available after 4pm. I am completely free on weekends. Back home I care for my dog by taking her out on walks around the neighborhood and feeding her at certain times in the day. When I dog sit for others I typically spend the night at their house if needed and take them outside and feed them. I also play with them when their indoor or outdoor. I have administered meds for some dogs and am pretty successful and comfortable with doing if needed.
