We had a great experience with Morgan! She stayed late when my flight was delayed. I came back to a neat apartment and a happy dog. Completely different experience then boarding. I received daily updates while I was on my trip. She was able to accommodate: - elderly dog - potty pads - car rides - leash reactivity - oral medication - small animal care (amphibians)

Angelee was great and took really good care of our pups. She kept us updated and sent plenty of pictures of them having fun outside. We will definitely be using her again.

Lilli was super sweet, listened to all our many requests, and our pups loved her! We booked somewhat last minute because of a day trip, and she made us feel very comfortable with leaving our pups in her care. Will book again! Thank you Lilli!

Laura treated our dogs well. She sent us pictures thru ought the weekend which was nice. And they seemed very happy when we got home. Plus she was an excellent house guest by washing the sheets and towels before we got home.

She worked wonderfully with our brand new puppy and was more than happy to work around our schedules. Our puppy adores her and we could tell he had a lot of fun hanging out with her! She is a fantastic listener when it comes to any house rules you may have, and really tries to get to know the dog and the people. I highly recommend her for your next booking, you will not be disappointed!

Teresa was amazing! She requested to come meet Penny and learn her routine before the night I was gone to make it easier for my girl. I received lots of pictures while I was gone, several of them with Penny snuggled in Teresa’s lap! She made sure Penny got her medicine as directed. I would absolutely trust Teresa to stay with my baby again!

About: I regularly care for dogs and cats for friends and coworkers. I love animals, and pet sitting lets me spoil them since I don’t have space for my own puppy. I work full-time with a bit of remote flexibility, so I’d love to sneak in some pet cuddles and care between work tasks. Free after 5 PM weekdays and all day weekends! I provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for your pet in their own home. I follow routines, respect their space, and ensure comfort, care, and peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I've been a dog sitter for several friends and family. As my son got further into the travel baseball tournaments I needed a dog sitter for our three dogs and three cats. I used Rover and loved the sitters. I've cared for all breeds, mixes shapes and sizes of dogs and cats . When I lived in Texas for three years, during that time I also volunteered with the local shelter where I made many furry friends. Pets and pet care have been a part of my life since birth. My first word was "jack" our family dog. Now that my son is in college I have more time and would love to use it to assist you and your family with pet care so you can travel knowing your pet family is safe in my hands. I have had baby puppies all the way to a senior Great Pyrenees. I am in sales and am an empty nester so I have a very flexible schedule. I am able to make myself available to your pets whenever needed. I have a privacy fenced yard, I walk my rescue bird dog Ranger four miles a day. My house is very pet friendly and we keep a schedule for our dogs feeding and it works very well so I am sure I can accommodate any food needs or allergies.

About: I have been around family pets from the age of 5 years old. At 17, I raised my own dog from a puppy as well as participated in obedience training up to the advanced level. I have worked with dogs of various breeds and sizes through house sitting and volunteering, and I have experience with dogs of all ages from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I have also had pet cats and enjoy caring for them and their needs. PLEASE NOTE: New clients must book a minimum of 5 nights for the first stay. My job allows me to work fully remote, meaning that my place of work allows me to be flexible for extended stays as well as have pauses throughout each day for the ideal at-home pet care schedule. I strive to maintain a routine as close to each pet's home life as possible. I set clear and simple boundaries for clients' pets that reflect those of their owner and allow them to feel at home with me as their sitter.

I was fortunate enough to have Adrian and her twin Lillian watch over my Labs, while I was on vacation. They had a bit of a challenge with my crew, 2 females and a male normally laid back, easy to work with unfortunately my girls were in their cycle! Separation was very important, with one of my girls being too young and the other not ready. If you have had this experience you know what their challenges were. They done a great job for me, my home seemed to be in better shape than when I left, as far as my crew goes I feel like they were a bit disappointed when they realized it was me walking in instead of Adrian, that tells me the treatment/services they received!!!! Needing a Great Sitter give them a call!!!

Nancy was a godsend. We have 6 dogs and had never left them with a stranger before meaning we have never been able to go on vacation. Nancy came over to meet them before we booked and they instantly loved her! That really set our minds at ease and we were finally able to have a vacation, all thanks to Nancy. Her daily photo updates showed how relaxed and loved they were in her care! To be able to walk into another person’s home and handle their 6 crazy dogs is truly a superpower. We could not recommend Nancy enough for your pet sitting/house sitting needs!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my friends and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I have a huge passion for animals and LOVE loving on them! I’ve taken care of of every kind of little pet-from dogs and cats to lizards and rats. I do have little ones in the house but we have taught them from a young age to be very respectful of animals and their space. We also have two Corgis in our household. Both Corgis are very friendly with other dogs but we understand that some owners may be uncomfortable with having new dogs around their furry friend. With this being said, the corgis are used to following my husband’s schedule who works from home during the night so they can easily be separated from your four-legged friends! As a Stay-At-Home-Mom I am able to offer 24-hour care! We do occasionally like to get out for an activity so do let me know in advanced if around the clock care is needed so we can accommodate! We love to take morning walks and would love for your furry friend to join us! If a walk won’t work-we have a giant fenced-in back yard to run around and play in! I am currently a stay-at-home-mom so most of my day is spent in the home following whatever schedule my boys keep me on:) We would love to incorporate your furry friend into our schedule! I am able to crate your dog (if needed) during the night or when I’m away. If a crate is not needed during the night then your furry friend will be allowed to sleep wherever!

We were thrilled with our first experience with Rover and Laurelai. Kirby was well cared for and clearly given lots of love. In the past when we have left him for a trip, we come home to a very anxious boy, but not this time! We received some photos and video which was a nice touch. It was wonderful to not worry about his care while we enjoyed our travels. Will definitely use both Rover and Laurelai again.
