She took wonderful care of my senior cat and made sure my pup had an outdoor adventure each day. Highly recommend her to anyone looking and will surely use her again!”
“Jesse was fantastic from the first interaction. We had a meet and greet and we instantly knew he would be a great match. He was on time to our home, took great care of our home and our dog and even was flexible when our flight was delayed several hours. Will definitely book him again for home care!”
“We couldn’t say enough great things about Matt! He was beyond awesome. Not only did he take great care of our pups, communicate every step of the way but he also helped do some odds and ends around the house. We would highly recommend using Matt for your pup needs!”

“Ida is the best!!!! She did great with both of our cats and our very nervous dog. House looked great, pets were happy, all around good! Happy to have her close by to watch ours in the future :)”
“I really was in a bind for a dog sitter and Trin saved the day! She offered a meet and greet prior to her stay at my apartment which was really nice. I could tell she paid attention to my directions and she built a bond with my puppy while here. I have a very high energy puppy and Trin never said anything, she kept him entertained and happy while I was away for a work trip. She also left my apartment in pristine condition and followed all of the instructions I left. I would definitely rebook with Trin!”
About: Iv'e been a pet owner all my life from raising puppies, caring for seniors, cats, bunnies and even having 4 tanks of fish at once. Times have changed and pets have become such a big part of our families and their health and happiness is our responsibility. I am involved currently with a rescue in Mississippi and help with adoptions and transports. Iv'e met many animals and their individual personalities. I am currently working from home and my schedule is very flexible to meet the demands of my clients.My services include walks, drops in or pet sitting including overnights. Each pet has different personalities, medical, and dietary needs . With great communication I make sure all needs are met to insure a safe and happy experience for your fur baby or furless will be in good hands while your away.
“We had a sitter that had to cancel in the middle of her stay and Teri stepped right in and took care of everything. She had great communication with us and showed how great our dogs were doing. When we came home the house was in great shape and the dogs were doing fantastic! I will be using Teri again in the future.”
About: I am a college student who majors in Biomedical Sciences and plans to attend veterinary school after graduation. I have always had a love for animals, especially dogs, since I was young, and have helped care for my own dog since childhood. My passion for animal care has been my motivation to pursue a future in veterinary medicine. Along with caring for my own dogs, I have had experience with dog sitting and dog walking. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities while making sure they are happy, safe, active, and well cared for. I am currently a college student home for summer break, and I am looking for part-time work. I am available almost every day until August 1st. I will be home again for Thanksgiving break, winter break, and spring break. When caring for pets in my client's home, I would follow the pet's normal routine and follow any additional instructions my client has left me while playing and caring for their pet.

That was my first time using Rover and working with Kirssy. Kirssy is amazing! Kittens warmed up to her fast and they became best friends. Kirssy sent me multiple pictures of the kitties every day and kept me posted of their activities. Will definitely use her service next time.
Our dog got plenty of long walks, lots of cuddles and love. Even the unfriendly cat liked Toby. Tobias sent daily updates with photos enabling me to feel confident and secure, fully able to enjoy our vacation. We came home to an immaculately clean house and happy animals. I highly recommend Tobias and will definitely rely on him for any future pet care needs.
Shakuntala was very responsive and respectful of our time. She was thorough with her meet and greet which made us feel very comfortable. During the stay she sent us frequent updates always keeping open lines of communication. You can tell she loves animals, that came through in all our interactions with her which is also wonderful to see and we know Beans very much appreciated all the attention.
Kori was super enthusiastic, attentive, and communicative. We were so grateful knowing she was looking after our kid. This was our first time on Martha's Vineyard (which you can't immediately leave to come home) and she made us feel completely comfortable; she had everything under control. She made it a point to go above and beyond. We would highly recommend Kori for anyone looking for peace of mind with their pets.
Bianca ROCKS. She took such good care of my dog and my cat. She’s super responsive and positive. She made us feel so at ease while we were away on vacation. She took amazing care of the house and spent time making sure our pets had a good time and were fulfilled. We will absolutely be booking again with her.
