“Loved them! They were so nice and communicative. We had scheduling changes from the hurricane and they were still so easy to work with. They took great care of the dogs and the house, I would recommend them to anyone 😊”


“We had a great experience with Mandy! She stayed in our home for five nights to care for our pack—two dogs and two cats—and when we got home, everyone was happy, healthy, and well cared for. She sent frequent updates and tons of adorable photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our home was in good shape when we returned, and we appreciated her thoughtfulness and communication throughout the stay. We’d work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable sitter!”


“Rose stayed with our pets while we were gone for 7 days. Everything that we asked of was done and more! I would recommend Rose if you’re looking for someone to care for your pets.”


“Do yourself a favor and book this sitter! This was my first sitting experience through Rover and it honestly may have spoiled me. From the onset of the experience, it was all very professional -- Karla came to do a meet and greet with the dogs at home and was so thorough in her questions and gauging of my comfort level, I instantly felt at ease. Both her and her partner were very warm and very low pressure about actually booking with them, even though they had taken time out of their days to meet with me, but I immediately knew I wasn't looking further than them. I got daily updates when I was away and when I got home, my dogs were comfortable and content. :]”


“Crystal was amazing! It was our first time using Rover and Crystal was a perfect match! She not only took great care of Honey but our home too. Honey started new meds a day before we went out of town and Crystal was able to give them to her without any problem. From the pictures we received during her stay, it was clear that Honey was being well taken care of and enjoying Crystal’s company. I highly recommend Crystal!”


“Very happy with Lucinda’s care of Lilly. Sent pictures each day Will definitely be using Lucinda again!”

“Bradley did a great job while house sitting with my 2 dogs over the Easter holiday weekend, Friday thru Sunday. He administered medication, took them for walks, played fetch, and even let them sleep with him. He took great care of my dogs, giving them lots of attention. Bradley left everything clean in the house, and the dogs kenneled when he left. Highly recommend Bradley for house sitting and dog walking needs!”


“Paige was absolutely wonderful! Our dogs loved her and she went above and beyond while staying in our home for the weekend. We will definitely be using her again!”


“Stephanie was AMAZING! She was very proactive in setting up a meet and greet beforehand and asked questions that helped us get to know her. She kept us updated the whole time on how he was and sent photos and pictures to us. She even filmed our pup opening his Christmas gift since we were away for the holiday. Went we came back our house was just as we left it and clean. She even put our recycling and trash at the curb for us. She also left a note and cute little chalkboard for when we got home. We will definitely be using her again!”


“Mia was wonderful and so helpful. She was super adaptable to my dogs needs and took great care of him.”


About: Life long animal lover. Cat owner since Elementary school. Currently have 3. All different breeds. I have experience with dogs too as I used to have 2 Labs. I often dog sit for my friends on weekends so figured I'd give this a go as well. Love meeting new pets I have lots of free time on the weekends and love going on walks whether its hot or cold. Most evenings in my work week are free. Pretty flexible if there are some pop up opportunities. I just love hanging out with animals in my free time. Cat wise: I am very careful to not let any cats out of the house. I know some can be escape artists. Lots of practice there. I will sit patiently for more timid cats to warm up to me. I typically won't pick them up at first or pet their bellies. I usually get my friends cats to warm up to me quickly and get them playing soon enough. Will cater to the cats that like drinking from the faucet too. Dog wise: I am ready to meet their energy and go on some fun walks. Will even be down to jog with them if they have a lot of energy. I'm cautious about food allergies so I will make sure I only give treats that are allowed and be patient to make sure they go to the bathroom during our visit. They will get all the pets they need!

“Bernie had such a good time with Sophie! She kept me updated and sent pictures every day! It was definitely a stress free vacation knowing he was with her! ❤️”


“Pam was AMAZING with our 2 cats and our dog. We had her stay at our house and she was the perfect sitter. We had flight issues and she had no problem extending her stay for another night. It is scary leaving your pets, but Pam put our minds at ease! We will definitely be using her again (:”


About: I have Pet experience Personally, and professionally! - Personally: By taking care of my pups my whole life. I've had 14 dogs since I was a kid and loved every second of it. - Professionally: I used to work at a doggy day care! We'd spend all day with 20+ dogs all huge dogs and we'd clean up after them, clean the kennels, feed them, and play with them. I'm currently home from college! So I have a lot of free time and am killing time before I ship off to Navy Basic Bootcamp. Fenced in yard! Brena loves other dogs so she could keep your dog company. Then they can be with my other puppy Bruno inside our home!


About: My home is made for dogs. Lots of room to run around inside on rainy days and a large backyard for all day play. A tired dog is a happy dog. Let your fuzzy baby become part of the pack. Have peace of mind your pets will be cared for and treated like family. Being retired I will be home, outside, and playing with them. I have three dogs, Elsa is a Jack Russell and American Staffordshire Terrier, R2 is a Scottish Terrier and Chihuahua, and Benji a small terrier mix. All are filled with energy and enjoy playing with other dogs. They enjoy going to the dog park and swimming. I am sure your pup will enjoy staying with us. They will not be lonely we will make sure. See you soon. Retire veteran at home full time. I don’t leave your fuzzy babies alone. Your welcome to drop them off the night before your trip too. I have a big fence yard. Pet proof cement floor through out the house. Three dogs to keep them company. Toys, music, and videos for them to watch.

About: I started my pet care journey by taking care of cats because of my life long experience with my own cats. I later moved on to caring for dogs and I frequently babysit my friends and family’s furr babies, and i enjoy doing so as well. I’m currently working for a company where i can create my own schedule. So I am very flexible and my availability is always open to care for dogs and cats. When taking care of pets in my home I try to keep their lives as close to their home lives as possible, so if that means they can get on the couch I allow them to be on my couch, if they have a strict schedule that includes crate time, I make sure to mimic that to the best of my ability.

About: Hi, I'm an experienced pet caregiver with a 65 lb Samoyed I've raised since he was 12 weeks old (now almost 3 years old). I'm also familiar with cats, thanks to my sister, and have checked on friends' dogs while they were away. I understand the love and attention pets need, and I'd be happy to care for yours! I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available every day of the week except Sundays, and I can easily adapt to your pet's specific needs and schedule. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m here to help! I currently provide care exclusively at clients' homes or through walking services. I prioritize making pets feel comfortable and cared for in their own environment. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or providing companionship, I follow your instructions to ensure your pet is happy and safe while you're away.

“Jessica was fantastic with our old dogs. She communicated so much with us before and during her visit with them and was very respectful of our home and the needs for the dogs. Thank you SO much!!”


About: I love doggies! I always have and always will. I work near my house, so I get to visit home in the afternoons. I walk my fur-baby in the mornings, afternoons and at night. I communicate with clients throughout the day when pets are in my care. I can text photos of your fur-baby during the day to let you know that they just finished a walk. All in all, just know that your fur-baby will be in great hands and will receive great love and attention. I do ask for drop off time 6am to 7am on weekdays, weekends are flexible. I get lunch breaks about 2pm to 3pm. Monday through Friday I'm home by 7pm. Mostly, all my weekends are open. I have a fenced in yard, plenty of outdoor space in my small neighborhood. One 5lb shitzu who is very vocal and playful. Zora is sweet and shy; sometimes nervous in the first hour or so but once she is comfortable she is very loving. I have an empty spare room for privacy if needed for your fur-baby.
