“She was wonderful with our puppy, played with him outside and sent us photos during the day so we can see how much fun he was having. Definitely would recommend her as a dog sitter!!”
“Connor (CK) took great care of Roxy while we were out of town for 3 days. He took her on walks and to the dog park, and provided lots of attention. He followed our instructions and took good care of our home. He sent pics and a report each day. She was calm when we got back home — a sure sign that she was well cared for.”
“We really loved Ann! She was efficient, organized, and friendly. She had a natural rapport with our dogs, which made us feel very comfortable. She was also very easy to communicate with. We highly recommend Ann!”
“There are not enough words to explain how amazing and truly incredible Heather is!!! We have 4 dogs with 4 different personalities and needs. It was instant love for her by them! It would be your dogs loss if you don’t use her services! She’s an amazing person and true dog lover!”
About: Because I’m in medical school I have a unique perspective on pet care in the sense that I am calm, thorough, and empathetic! I also have a dog of my own with medical needs so I am equipped to care for any pet. I’ve had large dogs, small, dogs, cats, and fish all my life and I would love to help care for your pets too:) I’m currently in medical school so my schedule varies during the weekdays (which I will frequently update) but I can come swing by to take on walks, check-ins, or house-sit. I have most weekends free as well. I am experienced in caring for food aggressive pets, dog-aggressive pets, as well as medically needy pets. I can take large dogs 100+ lbs on leashed walks as well as play in yards with them. I love animals and I know how to keep everyone safe and happy:)
“David was a great sitter for our two cats. He stayed the weekend and the cats were well cared for and our house was in perfect condition when we came home. He sent us pics and updates while we were away which were appreciated. Would totally recommend David to other people looking for a caring and attentive pet sitter!”
“This is our second time having Jessica watch our pups and again, she is wonderful. Very attentive and provides great communication. Mindful of our home and keeping things as is. Will definitely request Jessica to watch our dogs again!”
“Regan is great! She was super communicative and made sure all was well with our senior diabetic cat who needs shots twice a day and our hyper young cattle dog. Very grateful for her!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with someone who wasn’t family and we were very anxious about it, however, Keilah was amazing. She came over to our house and met Millie before we left to ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, she sent updates, pictures, and videos of our pup to reassure us everything was going great. I’m sure Millie will miss her! Cannot recommend enough, we will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you, Keilah!”
“Alex has been so patient with our older dog and understanding of her quirks. We had total peace of mind leaving her in his care while we were away. Will definitely book again!”
“Kristin was wonderful. She took excellent care of Baxter. They took lots of walks. She went above and beyond. Everything was neat and clean when I got home. She's new to Rover and was perfect. I will definitely use her again.”
“Kristina and Fletcher stayed with our dog for two weeks while we were in Europe. Just before we left, our dog developed both a fear of walking at night due and some gastrointestinal issues. We were extremely worried about leaving her but they gave her lots of love and patience about walking and rolled with her new diet restrictions. They also sent us lots of updates because they knew we were worried. We came back to a happy and healthy dog and are grateful to have had two conscientious dog pros with our girl when we couldn’t be.”
About: I train for races & am always looking for a running or walking buddy! I love dogs and cats as I have a pup & 4 cats myself!! My Dalmatian comes with some specific directions for food/behavior so I am confident I can care for your dog down to the most specific details! I work a school schedule and will be off for a little bit over the summer! I can check in on pets staring at 4:00pm during the week & can tend to them on the weekends. I am more comfortable taking care of your pet in your home and I have a slightly particular Dalmatian. However, If a pup needed to stay in my home, they have to be crate trained.
About: I have owned a variety of dogs throughout my life, some bought and some rescued. I know what it is like to go through the ups and downs of raising a dog and I would love to play a role in helping you in that journey! I am an involved and hard worker with a passion for pets. I love going for walks and staying active and am always outside doing something. I can handle energetic dogs and puppies and I don’t mind getting pushed around a little and I am great at giving baths after long nature outing. I do have another job but it is only open on the weekend so I have plenty of free time during the week. I am also pretty flexible when comes to hours as well. I love to have a set idea of do’s and do not’s from a pet owner before I house sit just to make sure I am not overstepping or over correcting and to make sure everyone is safe at all times. I currently do not petsit in my home because of my living situation.
“Alyssa did a fantastic job watching our dog Thor when we went out of town for an extra long weekend. She showed up on time, excited and prepared for the visit. Sent pictures and updates a few times everyday, which gave us peace of mind. We will be using her again in the future.”
“Ananda is wonderful. She was able to help us out in short order and handled our senior Husky so we'll. Consistent updates and left our house looking exactly as she found it. 100% will use again and would recommend to anyone else!”
“We had an amazing experience with Alexsandra. She communicated very well throughout our trip and took great care of our pups. She went above and beyond. Would highly recommend.”
