“This is our first time using Erika. We are 100% pleased and happy with every aspect of the job. I do have to state that I have a very very difficult job. We have seven cats with seven different needs and several different personalities. Erica did everything. I asked her to do. She is personable and kind. She is very very detailed with her pictures and her updates. She will even update if she’s going to be a little earlier or later than usual. We had to do some tweaking at the beginning of the job which she did not mind one bit. She even did things. I didn’t ask her to do like change certain water, fountains, and retrieve packages. I knew she would, though I really really love the updates. I loved knowing that my cats were very happy with her, taking care of them, which the pictures indicated. I already have her booked for a future reservation. Super happy I found such a gem!”


“Taylor has a big heart for animals! She is very caring, thoughtful, and reliable. I highly recommend trusting Taylor with your pet. She immediately won over my dog, Louie! She also sends me photos and videos which make my day when I am at work. She has been wonderful to work with!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of any age, whether that be a neighbor or a family member’s pet. Any special requirement I’m sure I can accommodate. Young, old, big, or small I love them all ! I currently work a full-time job Monday- Friday, and have availability most weekends. I can drop in or take your pet on walks to get them moving and exercise they need! When I come to visit your pet, I’ll be sure to make sure I follow any requests that are made, and leave your home the way it was when I walked in or can clean up any messes your dog may have made upon request.

About: Hi there! My name is Taylor and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had several dogs, cats and horses. From pet sitting, long or short walks, and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. We also have two pups of our own! I have two cats of my own that I rescued and worked with to get them from feral to friendly! I work from home which means I am fairly flexible when it comes to drop in visits either before work or on my lunch break. I work from home full time. I am available before work or on my lunch break for any drop in visits or walks they may need. Let me know what their quirks are so that I can be sure to care for them the best way possible. Also let me know their schedule and what they are used to. I want to keep it as stress free as possible for your fur babies.

About: I’ve been walking dogs for over 21 years. I’ve cared everything; birds, fish, reptiles, dogs, cats and rodents! I’m on time and always happy to see your little family members! I am currently looking for a full pet care schedule! I prefer to stick with a pet once we meet to build a strong bond. I will take care of your pets per your request! Just let me know! I also have two medium size super friendly dogs and two cats. If boarding is something you need we have over an acre of property.

About: I have always been an animal lover! Growing up, I had a “zoo” of my own full of all kinds of animals! I have been taking care of pets for neighbors and friends for 5 years now. While I am away at college, I found myself missing my animals I do not get to see everyday day. I figured bringing my love and care for animals to others will fulfill that void in me! I am a CNA at a nursing home near by, I switch off day shift and night shift, as long as working part time! I also enjoy going for walks, and could use the company for my morning and evening walks. In a clients home, I want the animal to feel as safe and comfortable as possible; by sticking to the consistent routine they are familiar with!

About: Animals are my safe space, they’ve truly helped me my entire life and caring for them is so incredibly rewarding. Fur babies truly are amazing! I work from home, so I have plenty of time to check up on the animals!! I have a very flexible schedule as well, I will work with you! I have lots of animal toys, as well as lots of hands on experience playing with animals! I will more than happily play with them just with my hands/arms💖

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a teenager. Pets that belonged to my sister to pets that have belonged to my neighbors. I have experience feeding and walking dogs. I'm currently in between jobs at the moment, but that'll change in a little while. So, take advantage while you can. Of course, when I do get a job, I'll still make time to care for your pet! I'm always dependable to feed your pet on time and walk your pet for however long is needed. I also enjoy playing and interacting with your pet.

“Ivy did a great job taking care of our 3 cats. She played with them and gave them food and treats every day. She also took the initiative to cover up furniture that was getting scratched. She was also willing to accommodate special requests.”


“Thank you so much for all that you do with Orville! I’m going to start training him a bit more this week as I am home all week. So hopefully by the following weekend he’ll be good to go! Thanks again Melissa - you rock!!”


“Jill did such a fantastic job watching our two kitties and really went above and beyond. She put up with a lot of chaos on our end in the days leading up to the first sitting service (Sadly our dog passed away unexpectedly, then the impending bad weather forced us to delay travel and change dates). She was flexible and understanding. We also came home to a cleaner house. Seriously...Jill tidied up and took out the kitchen garbage! And took our bins to the curb. That was so kind of her, especially since things were tough before our travel with the passing of our dog. We will definitely work with Jill again in the future.”


About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and love playing and walking dogs of all size and breed! Dogs have no problem approaching me :) I don't mind dogs jumping on me, I love a playful pup and old dogs that just love to cuddle up. I love teaching dogs tricks and having them show off their tricks to earn rewards such as a belly rub or treat. Dogs are mans best friend and I believe that dogs deserve nothing but the best. We have so many friends and opportunities, however dogs only have us. They look forward to a visitor and walks and play time and I am more that willing to give dogs exactly what they need want and more. Thank you. I work mostly remote so I have high flexibility during the week as well as the weekend. I would be happy to take a break during my work day to help out! We bought a house with a fenced in yard specifically for our dog(s) and we love being able to give that that space to play. Fence or not, I can sure you I will care for your dog the same!

“Kaylie has literally been life saver for us! She has been more than willing to adjust how she does visits to help my puppy deal with separation anxiety, she is very quick to respond, and always leaves a great Rover card with lots of photos so that I can get an update on my puppy during the day.”


“Karyn was EXCELLENT. She met our dogs beforehand so they would be comfortable with her! She had great communication with us the whole time, sending us updates and pictures. She is super friendly and we will definitely be using her again in the future:(”


“Haley was great with all my cats for their drop in visits. She took care of their litter boxes, gave them wet food and attention. She did need a reminder on the night of the last drop in visit booked, but was responsive and apologetic for not stopping by yet that day. She immediately headed over too.”


“Pam is absolutely wonderful! She did drop ins at our home to make sure our young puppy was able to get a potty break and burn some energy in the middle of our work day. As new puppy owners, we couldn’t be more grateful to have Pam help us out. She is extremely experience with dogs of all ages, has a wealth of knowledge, and is so kind. She followed our directions and sent us lots of pictures and feedback. We couldn’t be happier and know that our fur baby is in good hands when she is with her. I highly recommend hiring Pam for your dog or puppy needs.”

Jennifer D.
“Jennifer is one of best pet parents I have ever met! Not only does she love her own pets but everyone's pets! She has watched my baby Holly Bolly several times over the years.

For this reason, they keep calling her back when they are in need of a caregiver for their pet”


Ezra M.
“I’ve been friends with Ezra since we were kids. They’ve always had pets such as cats, dogs, chickens, fish, some rodents, and a few others. They have always given nothing but top tier animal care, their animals are so friendly with people, are well behaved, and even get along with other animals. They are a personal cat sitter of mine and I can’t recommend them enough.”


Morgan J.
“Morgan took the best care of puppy golden doodle. He was flexible to our timing needed and went above and beyond to even stay at our house for us with her. He had wonderful communication, had true kindness and care for our little puppy and her puppy energy and he took incredible care of our home while we were away. He is trustworthy and absolutely the best choice for anyone needing someone reliable & honest. He gave our puppy the best love and attention. Hands down he’s the best for your family, home and loving pet! There’s no price on peace of mind and Morgan provides that!”
