“Mikayla was wonderful with our 3 fur babies. She is very comfortable and familiar with animals. You can just tell she is an animal lover and our dogs felt it. We have already scheduled an overnight visit with her and looking forward to many stays in the future! Definitely recommend ❤️🐾”

“Frances was Wonderful taking care of my babies while I was on vacation. I was gone for 5 days, and have two dogs….a German Shepherd and a Boxer, and they were well taken care of. I would highly recommend Frances for any of your dog sitting needs and will definitely use her again!”

“We needed someone to house/dog sit while we were out of town for a week. Jonathan was great! We could tell the dogs got lots of long walks and plenty of attention. We would definitely rebook him!”

“Zia was fantastic. Excellent communication, daily updates, and kept the house spotless! Our boxer was very comfortable with her. She was timely, and even stayed a little late when we had a late return flight so our boy wouldn’t have to be inside too long. Very professional, and clearly loves animals. We will be reaching out again in the future!”

“Brianna was amazing! We found her at the last minute to come hang out with our dog while we went on vacation. She was very flexible and accommodating. He has separation anxiety and is afraid of a lot of dogs, but Brianna made us feel very confident about leaving him with her. She sent daily updates with pictures/videos as well :) Our dog clearly loved getting to hangout with her. She stayed in our home and was so respectful. We would love to work with her anytime and highly recommend to her to anyone!”

“Ted was absolutely awesome! We always feel so comfortable leaving Waylon at home when we are out of town because we know Ted has him in the best of care! He is super responsive and always sends pictures each day of the adventures that they had. We are so thankful to have him!”


“I can’t say enough how amazing Paige was. I went out of town for 10 days which is the longest I’ve ever left my pets and she made me feel so much more comfortable with leaving them! She made sure to find time to do a meet and greet before hand so they knew her and my anxious pup warmed up to her right away! She also laid out her schedule for every day I would be gone with times she planned to come over. The whole time I was gone, she sent updates and pictures so I could see how happy they were! She went above and beyond, even brushing my cat and dog which they both love! She will definitely be my go- to for any future needs.”

About: Hello my name is Hannah ! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more . My experience in pet care is from having my own animals and caring for family and friends . My boyfriend and I only have one dog ; she is a Basset Hound her name is Dolly . I will always make sure to treat your furry friends with nothing but love and attention when in my care. I work full time 9/5 but am available in the morning and after work and of course on the weekends. If needed and close enough I can check in on my lunch . I aim to keep your dog on their normal routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love—while also keeping your home tidy and secure why you are away.
“A huge thank you to Isabella for making our first trip away from our pup worry free. This was the first time in eight years Rocky has been left with someone other than family. She was an absolute rockstar! She reassured my husband and I that Rocky was in the best hands possible. She came to our home to take care of Rocky for the duration of our trip. The entire time we were away, we received photos and texts updating us on Rocky’s adjustment. Turns out Rocky was fine. It was his parents that needed reassurance, which, by the way she was completely understanding of. I would 1000% recommend Isabella. She was patient loving towards our baby and extremely responsible. She was right he was in the best hands possible we will be using her again.”

“Irma was great with our kitties. We needed someone last minute, and our little boy Dexter was having some health issues so we were very nervous. Irma took very good care of them while we were gone and was ready to take Dexter to the vet if he needed to be taken. She was very good about giving him his medicine and tracking his food intake and everything. Highly recommend!!!”

About: I grew up in an animal loving family that treats our pets just as that: family. I have experience caring for and loving both cats and dogs! Most of the cats that have joined my family were rescues or strays. I always used to get in trouble with my mom because I would come home with a new kitten I found on the side of the road. My hopes are to help the sweet babies get better and then find them a happy home, but if I could just keep them all myself, I would! I have taken care of both dogs and cats since I was younger. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets by walking, feeding, bathing and playing with them. I have experience with small, medium and big dogs of all different breeds. I’m currently working part time at a restaurant in the evenings so I’m available to do drop-ins any day between 6am-2pm! Availability for house sitting will vary. I have 2 indoor cats myself back home, so I am used to scooping/changing a litter box. I also have a dog at home with a fenced back yard for him to run around and do his business. One of my cats is named Kitty. She is very prissy and high maintenance. She has to have a fountain/ flowing water to drink out of or she will not drink water. She is not very playful but would rather just lounge in the sun. My other cat is Lilo. She is more laid back and playful. She likes to chase her tail a lot. She also loves affection and laying under neath the blankets or bed covers. My dog, Max, is very old and barks at anything and everything, but he is a sweet heart.
“Katie was great! We have an older dog who loves people. Katie was attentive to her needs and was prompt, friendly to our girl and took her for many walks. I highly recommend Katie.”

“Grace did a great job looking after scarlett while I was out of town for the day she did everything perfect and what I asked of her to do scarlett got alot of play time and was very happy with grace. Grace also sent me pictures and updates of scarlett through the day. Over all I'm pleased with grace's performance”

About: I really enjoy animals so much. I just do not meet a stranger when it comes to dogs and cats. Your home would be my home away from home. Im 49 years old with a 5 year old son. I enjoy teaching him about how wonderful each animal can be. I personally believe if you teach a child to love animals they will grow up to be wonderful people. I do not have a big home but it is ful of love. We treat all animals like they are part of our family. I can not wait to meet you and your family (pets).. This job is a test to see if i can make an income big enough to stay home with my son. . God Bless each and everyone of you.
About: I was a dog groomer for over a year and worked in a dog store for 3 years and am able to read body language well and am very informed most things that come to your dogs needs. I spend as much time with my dog as I can everyday. I brush her, play ball, and pet her every single day and always give her lots of cookies. I take my dog to dog parks to play with her and have give her lots of treats! I brush my dog everyday and always have a cuddle time.
“This is the 2nd time Mya has house/pet sat for us and I feel very comfortable with her in my home! And our skittish dog seems to be warming up to her, which is always a good sign!”

“Everything seemed to go great. Very quick responses. House was even cleaner than we left it. My dogs seemed to really like her, and they seemed completely happy and stress free when we arrived home.”

Danielle was amazing. She took great care of our dogs and cats while we were away for a week. This was my first time booking through Rover and she made the whole process easy. I especially appreciated her efforts to make sure everything was covered during our trip. I’m so grateful for her help, and I will definitely try to book her again for our future trips.

Sarah was great!!! She showed up exactly when planned, and she left exactly when she stated she would. She gave the dogs lots of attention and love and kept them safe and happy overnight for us. We will use her again for sure!!! It’s always nice to find someone that you feel you can trust in your home while you’re away!!
