“I have used Ruth several times and could not be happier with the services she provides. Ruth demonstrates a high level of professionalism, punctuality, and attentiveness to my dog, Frankie. Ruth has excellent communication skills and replies to my messages promptly with pictures of her visit with Frankie. There have been several occasions when I've needed last minute dog walks or visits due to a work emergency, and Ruth always is able to jump in and help me out with last minute notice. Most importantly, my dog Frankie absolutely LOVES her! I highly recommend Ruth for all your animal needs! ”

“Sia was wonderful! Our pup is a little shy at first, and Sia was so patient and warm while Apple warmed up to her. She gave detailed explanation of what they did together, and took many pictures to show our sweet happy pup in her care! I am so glad to have found Sia, and I will definitely be using her again!”

“Alex is the kind of person who goes above and beyond. We always hope he’s the one available when we’re out of town because our grumpy cat is so happy to see him! We trust Alex to drop in every day and he always sends us pics. It’s wonderful to have a person who gives us peace of mind about our pet while we’re away. Above and beyond, Alex saw we had some deliveries and brought them inside for us because it was raining! I mean, what a completely decent human. No hesitation, we’ll book again.”

“Thanks to Car, we were able to enjoy our vacation without worries. She took care of our pets as if they were her own, sending us photos twice a day and telling us about our pets' day. We couldn't have found a better person than her. She's sure to be our pet sitter for a long time. Thank you so much, Car, for making our vacation worry-free.”

About: I have had animals in my house all my life and have always loved taking care of them! I grew up with cats and when we finally got our first dog we were inseparable. I went off to college and got my own animals to take care of for a couple years but I recently moved across the country with my husband and we had to leave our little friends behind with our families. My late childhood dog had gotten older as I was going off to college and lost her hearing and sight, so I'm well prepared to take care of animals that need a little extra attention! I'm hoping to help people in the area out with their little family members! I love to walk dogs, play with cats, and just hangout with all types of animals. Im currently working from home and doing some online schooling. This allows me to be super flexibly for a job with Rover. I can tend to your pets needs 24/7. Because of my situation, your pet will almost never be left alone and will be well taken care of and loved! I do not have any pets of my own currently and will only be taking one family at a time. I have a huge yard outside my apartment unit and a fenced in dog park that is not too far of a walk away as well!

“Kelsey is a wonderful sitter and was a lifesaver this summer! She is great about sending pictures and comments after a visit.”

“Ashley is a great communicator. Ideal for making inroads with pets on the timid side, and having them warm up enough to interact. Greatly reassuring.”

“Tyler is an awesome pet caregiver! He has been doing drop in visits for our new puppy for the last few weeks and has been very helpful. He is trustworthy, has excellent communication, and goes above and beyond to make sure our pup is taken care of. He even gives our other dog love too while he’s there. He gives feedback after every visit and I can tell he is invested in our dogs happiness. Him and his wife, Sierra, are our first choice for a pet sitter due to each experience being great! I would highly recommend Tyler for any of your pet service needs!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my combination of experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’m skilled in handling pets of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs, including administering medication, basic training reinforcement, and recognizing signs of stress or illness. I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and personality, whether that means high-energy play, gentle companionship, or calm reassurance. I’m highly dependable, detail-oriented, and maintain clear communication with pet owners—always sharing updates, photos, and progress. Above all, I treat every pet as family, creating a safe, loving environment that gives owners peace of mind and pets the care they deserve. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I structure my days around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that includes morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or medication administration. I plan ahead to ensure I’m fully available and present for each visit, giving every pet the attention and care they deserve. Throughout the week, I maintain a consistent routine while staying flexible for last-minute needs or special requests. I also make time to check in with pet owners, send updates, and adjust care plans if needed. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet care never feels like a chore it’s something I look forward to every day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, my priority is always the same: creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that feels familiar and stress-free for the pet. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely maintaining routines for feeding, walks, play, and any medications. I make sure the pet feels calm and secure by keeping things consistent and giving them lots of positive attention. I also keep the home clean, tidy, and secure during my visits. When pets stay in my home, I make it a warm, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, relax, and feel at home. I provide regular outdoor time, social interaction, and follow any specific care routines provided by the owner. Safety is a top priority, so I ensure a pet-proof environment and constant supervision. In both settings, I offer regular updates and photos so pet parents always feel connected and reassured. My goal is to treat every pet like family because that’s exactly what they are.

About: Hi my name is Rachelle! I’ve walked and watched most dogs since I was seventeen my love for dogs and animals are my passion. I’ve had animals such as goats, dogs, ducks you name it since I was little! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I have a year and a half German shepherd who has very high energy so we spend most of our time in the yard playing fetch and going on walks My German shepherd requires a lot of walks and running through out the day it makes for a very fun day especially to see her so happy! I make sure everything is ok while I am walking them, make sure I have plenty of water with me and it’s not too hot for them

“Nicole has been great to work with! She was very responsive and able to help out last minute. I’ve rebooked her twice and will continue to use her when able to!”

About: Ive always gotten along well with cats & dogs. I always try to cater to the need of the owners as long as their reasonable 😂. Honestly animals in general bring so much joy to everyone and deserve the cuddles and care the need. 😁 I’m usually available on Mondays & Fridays after 5pm and am free throughout Saturday, as for Sundays I’m free either in the early mornings like 8:30am - 11am or after 4pm-9. I try my best to be flexible with the hours before and/or after 12pm to 5pm. If you have any rules in place don’t hesitate to let me know. I’ll always strive to make sure to stick to them. And make sure that your pets are relax and have the necessary attention they need. 🙂

About: I completed a four year veterinary program in high school on top of being a lifetime animal lover who tries to gain as much general animal information as possible. With this I have basic skills and knowledge on how to handle dogs professionally. At college, I am my dog’s full time caretaker as well as taking care of three dogs total at home. I love dogs of all sizes and ages! I plan on working part time for the summer, but whenever I am not working I am available! My weekly schedule cannot be known until my job posts when I work but I will be able to communicate specifics. I will comply to and rules and regulations that the owners put in place for their animals. I cannot work out of my own home but am more than willing to pet sit or do drop in at the owners home, where their dog will more likely be at home.
