“Kellie was so great with our boy, Tyson for a weekend. She communicated clearly before the trip, during our trip (we loved the updates!), and after. She was respectful of our home and a perfect house guest. Tyson was immediately comfortable with her and we were so comforted knowing he was not only being taken care of, but really loved on, while we were gone. We will absolutely use Kellie in the future, if possible.”
“I booked Megan for a second time. This time was for a long weekend trip and she was again amazing with my pup. Stuck to his walk and food schedule. Included photos of my pup while I was away. Communication was strong and I didn’t have to worry about anything while on vacation. 100% recommend!”
“Angela did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs and our cat. She was very responsive to our emails and provided us with peace of mind when she sent us updates along with their pictures! The house was immaculate and well taken care of. I would highly recommend Angela and we will definately use Angela again in the future!”
“Mikayla was fantastic! She took such great care of our dogs while we were away last week. The girls absolutely loved her — they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we got home. She was reliable, communicative, and followed all of their routines perfectly. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
About: I have lived with dogs all my life. I love playing and cuddling with the sweet ones. Once I can I will be getting a dachshund or pitbull. When my neighbor of 2 years is out of town, I take care of his 2 pit bulls, both over 10 years old. I work Monday to Friday 8:30-5:30pm with an hour lunch starting at 12:30. If your house is close enough to my warehouse I will be able to visit them during my lunch hour. In my house, the pets are fully inside cats. We make sure to open blinds during the day so they have places to lie in the sun, which they love. They are dry food once a day and wet food every other day. Whatever the client needs to be done for the pet I will do to the best of my abilities.
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.
“I wanted someone to watch our dog in our own home and I was so happy to find Ann. Ann did a great job with my senior dog. She texted and sent photos while I was gone. Ann was also very neat and clean and left our home just as it was. I will definitely use her again!”
“Dogs Are family and Kara understands that. We could not have been more happy with Kara. She took great care of our dog, gave her meds, and made sure the house stayed in order. Kara kept us informed the whole time with pictures and notes. Highly recommended to anyone who wants someone amazing and understanding to watch their dog.”
About: I’ve been watching dogs for friends for 10 years now. Growing up with my own puppy, I know the importance of giving love and attention to our pets while making sure they stay active (and clean after!) I’m currently at home 3 days a week and have plenty of free time. I’m able to take care of your fur baby’s needs and have a great area for walks if wanted or just some resting on the couch My care depends entirely on the individual pet I’m with that day. Some dogs need lots of walking and attention and some just want a companion to cuddle and play with. I work with what your pet needs and wants most
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 12. I done single visits with dogs along with multiple day long full care for out of town family's. I have two dogs of my own. I also have experience with extra large dogs and puppies. I am a full time college student with a part time job. My schedule changes often but I am always available for early morning walks and often available in the evenings as well. I am able to take dogs on long walks through neighborhoods, take dogs to dog parks, or play with them in the family’s yard. I will communicate with the family to find out where their pets do best.
About: Hello! I have been very lucky to grow up and still currently be surrounded by animals of all kinds.Dogs and cats have always had a special place in my heart. Not only do I live with animals, I have also worked with cats, dogs, and small animals at 2 local shelters. I’m excited to work together! :) I currently am available 6 days a week, excluding Tuesdays. Any other day of the week, I can be there for you and your furry friends needs. I have the knowledge to safely crate, walk, feed, and medicate your cat/dog friend. And promise to give them the care, time, and love requested.
“Excellent!!! Our pups loved having Kimberly here and I have a very good feeling they were well loved!! She communicated daily, sent pictures and updates which was very nice - definitely recommend and will use again!”
“Lisa did an absolutely amazing job watching our fur babies while we were out of town on a trip. She was helpful, communicative, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to very happy babies, and a few special treats she left as well. So thoughtful! She even took trash out and put dishes away. Definitely went above and beyond our expectations. Looking forward to having her house sit again for us and would absolutely recommend. Thanks Lisa!”
“Kaitlyn did a great job with our 2 very energetic, large puppies! She communicated well, sent update photos, and came to our home for a meet & great prior to sitting. Our home and our girls were both in great shape when we got home!!”

Angela watched our 3 dachshunds for 3 days over Thanksgiving. During the meet and greet, all 3 of our girls took to her right away. Angela asked questions and made sure she understood the girls’ routine and needs. Since she was sitting on Thanksgiving, she would be away for longer than normal to spend time with her family - not an issue, but she made sure to address this with us ahead of time, which was appreciated! She arrived and departed on schedule as promised. She provided pictures and detailed updates while we were away. She even helped us with some logistics in Rover - when the arrival and departure times changed, she updated them for us! It’s extremely important to us that we have someone we can trust and rely on to watch our girls and give access to our home while we are away, and Angela fits the bill! We will be using her again.
Ivy really went above and beyond for me today and honestly saved my trip from the beginning. I needed to leave a day earlier than I originally planned and Ivy accommodated a booking into her schedule a day earlier. When she arrived (on time both times) however my gremlin of a dog gave her 30-45 minutes of terror in which she sat on the floor to show she wasn’t a threat. We communicated and agreed she’d try again a couple hours later after he finished a bone I stupidly gave him before I walked out of the door. Her patience and skill kept me from having to turn around and drive 6 hours home and cancel my trip. When she came back he acted as a grown dog and she was able to walk and feed him! Based on these events I would hire Ivy again and suggest her to other pet parents.
