“Mary did a good job watching our cat, even though our cat was extremely shy, and hardly made an appearance. Mary took care of our cats needs, and kept our home tidy, and was punctual about being here on time. Also great communication. Would recommend Mary anytime.”
“Riley was awesome! We contacted her kind of last-minute, but she made time to meet us and our cat before our trip and then accommodated our drop-in needs through the week. She's responsive, trustworthy, and caring, which went a long way toward mitigating our cat's usual grumpiness when we go away. We highly recommend Riley to others in the area!”
“Jessica and her husband were wonderful with my cats while we were away for two weeks. Very attentive, respectful, caring, and kept in touch throughout. Highly recommended and will be using her services again when we need any pet sitting!”
“Erin was great with our two cats - very professional and friendly. We appreciate the photos and updates, and she was able to give one of our cats the medication he needed. We absolutely would work with Erin again!”
“Samantha was AMAZING! She sent photos and checked in each AM and PM when she came to feed our cats. We came home and they were happy and well fed, and their eating area and litter boxes were both clean and well kept. We recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter that provides peace of mind!”
About: I’ve had all kinds of different dogs and cats throughout my life and am part of a big family which has the same, let alone my animal sitting experience with ages ranging from babies to some senior pups. I’ve never met an animal I didn’t love:) I’m currently working part time while finishing my college degree, but definitely have time to meet some new furry friends! Look forward to meeting you and your fluff ball and being able to provide some extra love to your fur pets!:) I think it’s important to get to know your pets needs and I understand the importance of consistency for fur babies. Willing to do whatever makes you and your fur baby most comfortable while providing some extra love and pets:)
About: I've had a dog of my own since I was on my own at 17 (so 13 years of that) and grew up with family dogs as well. My friends with pups always bring their dogs over when they come too and our dogs love playing together as I have a fenced in yard. My brother happens to be a dog trainer and has showed me pointers over the years so I've also been around the multitude of dogs hes trained with different pup personalities. :) I'm currently working from home due to the covid change since March 2020 so I'll be home for the better part of any day to keep a watchful eye on them. I have a fenced in yard and a playful pup of my own but as mentioned, my brother is a dog trainer so I have so knowledge of being around different types of breeds and my dog wants to be friends with everyone so she's no harm to even an ant :) I am currently working remote so I am home for most the day every day. If I have to step out for anything, dogs that are used to being crated will be crated and if they are not, I make sure every dog in the house is in a separate area while I'm not around to supervise. I have a fenced in yard for the pups and am always around to supervise them. If I have other dogs at the same time, I make sure to do individual meets before they are in a group. Everyone is always fed in separate areas.
About: I grew up with two amazing dogs—one is now 17 and the other is a playful 4-year-old—so I’ve cared for pups at every stage of life. From energetic walks to gentle senior care, I understand what dogs need to feel happy, safe, and loved. Whether it’s belly rubs, fetch, or sticking to their routine, I’m here to make sure your dog feels right at home. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I'm available Monday through Friday. I am happy to spend quality time with your pet, whether that means walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I make sure any cat or dog that I am caring for is getting fed their daily amount, they have gone on walks or used the bathroom (cleaning the litter daily if it’s cats), they get plenty of water, and make sure they get plenty of stimulation through play time.
About: I am 22 years old and have taken care of dogs my whole life. I have experience with puppies- geriatric dogs including giving medication when needed. I am a recent college graduate with open availability. As the job hunt is extremely difficult, I am very flexible to fit you and your animals needs! I currently have 2 small dogs with a fenced in yard and a constant need for cuddles. I feed them twice a day, once for breakfast and once for dinner and they receive allergy vitamins daily.
About: i have two goldens both since they where puppies on has some health issues and need special care so i can help with medication. i also have had a senior dog i am free anytime during the week including early morning since that’s when i workout. i am very flexible on the weekends and weekdays for all hours i am very attentive to animals if there are any specific worries about your pet i will definitely make sure to care for them and have no issues handling bigger or hyper dogs
About: I’ve lived with and taken care of animals my whole life. I grew up in a house with 3 cats so I’m very used to a lot of love and also chaos. However I always loved dogs and have now been living with my pup for about 2 years. She is the sweetest and I love taking care of her. She receives medication every day as well as monthly treatments for flea and tick. I would love to meet and take care of your little friends too. I also have some experience taking care of chickens and small birds. I’m currently working part time with a pretty flexible schedule. This allows me to be able to watch pets every day of the week. I’m more than happy to try to figure something out so I can be available to stop in as often as need be. I take the safety and comfort of pets very seriously. I have a dog who is very reactive and anxious around other dogs. I have a lot of practice noticing when a dog feels uncomfortable or irritated. I also have a good amount of experience controlling an aggressive dog safely. But I’ve also handled and watched dogs that were cuddle bugs, I love nothing more than to relax all day with a fur baby on my chest.

Southwood Acres cat parents share their Rover experiences
Samantha was AMAZING! She sent photos and checked in each AM and PM when she came to feed our cats. We came home and they were happy and well fed, and their eating area and litter boxes were both clean and well kept. We recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter that provides peace of mind!
Hannah did an amazing job. I went on vacation for a week and was worried about finding the perfect person to take care of my cat and 2 gerbils. Not many people have dealt with small animals like gerbils so I was a bit worried, but Hannah did a wonderful job. The gerbils were both well fed and their cage was clean. She did a good job not letting them escape their enclosure because they are known to fly out once the door opens. My cat Floppy, was also well fed and perfectly happy when I got back. If you ever need a small animal pet sitter, Hannah is a great choice!
