About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have 15+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, lizards, chickens, pigs, and more.

Whether it’s feeding, walks, medications, or just extra snuggles, I make sure your pet feels secure and loved while you’re away.
“Jolie was amazing with my dog Koda! She went above and beyond — even picking up tennis balls when she saw how much he loved to play fetch. It’s clear she really cares about the pets she watches. I felt totally comfortable knowing Koda was in great hands. Highly recommend!”

“Allie, was punctual, contentious, responsive , efficient, caring and honest. BUT, MOST OF ALL she loved OUR DOGS. Our 2 dogs have special medical needs and she gave them their meds on time and let us know it was done. She shared wonderful photos of the dogs on a regular basis. Winnie had a seizure and Allie contacted me and sent a video. In consultation with Winnie’s vet we made a plan for what to do if she had another seizure. I felt confident that Winnie would be well cared for. I have already booked Allie for another vacation.”

“Mary is compassionate and kind with our boy Dalton who suffers from separation anxiety. She’s responsible, dependable & does a perfect job. We would recommend her to other.”

“Megan was wonderful and took such good care of our pets and home! We appreciated the regular update and photos and would recommend 100% recommend Megan for pet care and house sitting needs!”

“Angelee was fantastic with our pets! It was my first time leaving them and I loved the pics and video updates. It made the trip more enjoyable knowing they were being taken care of and loved on while we were gone. Thank you so much!”

About: I have had animals all my life. I would ask my neighbors to help watch theirs when they would go out or away. And I really enjoy it. I love taking dogs for walks. I love playing with cats. I am currently a college student so I have time to take your dogs for a walk or to watch them on the weekends. I am currently away from home and I miss my animals so this is a way for me to help those who need it. Depending on what your schedule is and what your animals needs are I will always listen to what you say. I know how important to listen to the client. They known the animal best.

“Gabriella did a great job staying with my two kitties while I was on vacation. It helped me relax and enjoy being away without having to worry about them. My place was immaculate when I came back. Highly recommend!”
Southland-Deerfield-Open Gates pet parents share their Rover experiences
Megan took great care of our pups while we were on vacation. She sent us pics and updates every day. We have a very senior dog (almost 16 yrs) and a very timid dog (rescued from a horrible situation) so we were a little nervous leaving them, but we didn't need to be! Megan was awesome with them! She's the best! 🤗

I'm hesitant to write this review for Jolie because she was so wonderful and I'm afraid everyone will want her. What a bright, personable, responsible and delightful young woman. She stayed at my house with my three cats for three days and the house was spotless when I returned. The instructions I left for their care was a little complex but she followed my notes to the letter. Clearly she loves what she does and she's very good at it.
Mikayla did an amazing job with our boys! She was great at keeping us updated with everything the boys were doing. She also was sure to stay with them and give them constant attention. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely be using her again in the future!
