“Toni is the absolute best, endured a snow/ice storm with major winds leading to a power failure! She kept our Bowa girl safe and warm and shoveled herself out!!”


About: From growing up with dogs to training my first puppy (not a certified trainer), dogs are best friends & family members. I’m here to help give you peace of mind while you are out on vacation, at a gathering, or at work. I work full time hours Monday through Friday. Typically free weekday mornings before 7:30AM, weekday evenings (at 4pm) and weekends all day. Weekends I’m typically out accompanying my dog while he lives his best life. It’s a dog’s world ! My dog is on a strict diet, takes medications and requires lots of exercise. I don’t mind walking, playing, feeding or administering medications to our friends. I have experience with dogs with various energy types and temperaments. I care and treat every dog like they are my own. Willing to send pictures of your dog(s) enjoying their best life !

“Melissa was great! This was my first Rover experience so I really had no idea what to expect but melissa went above and beyond my expectations! She put me at ease while she watched my babies and provided updates while I was away!”


“Meghan stayed three nights in our home with our Belgian malinois and everything went super smoothly! This was our first in-home boarding experience with our dog, and we were so happy to return to a calm, happy dog who would normally be very anxious after out of home boarding. She sent lots of updates/pictures and always responded in a timely manner.”


“Kamryn did an excellent job caring for our fur babies. We especially loved the pictures she so thoughtfully sent to us daily while we were away. We highly recommend her!”


“Brittany was absolutely amazing! I was so stressed with my sister’s wedding weekend and being the first time I left Jax with someone other than my family. She stayed with him longer than she needed to and stopped by multiple times and even stayed overnight. She sent me updates and photos through out the weekend. Jax loved her and I felt relieved that I didn’t have to stress about him the whole weekend knowing he was in good hands. I definitely plan to use Brittany again in the future.”


“We have used Samantha for extended house sitting and caregiving for our elderly, blind cat. She is just the most reliable, compassionate, meticulous and competent young woman! We trust her completely with our home and our beloved cat. We admire her and wholeheartedly recommend her!”


About: I've had guinea pigs all my life, and I have taken care of my friends and families dogs and cats. Taking care of animals is a huge passion of mine, and I take it very seriously I have a lot of free time on my hands and would be available anytime of the week. If something does come up on my schedule I will let you know. I would prefer to take care of your animals in your own home and would be able to stay over or check in on them as much as you want.

“Great communication! Emma did a wonderful job of caring for our dog! Thank you!”


About: I’ve pet sat for friends, family friends, and colleges for over 7 years! I have also repeatedly been asked to pet sit for the same families! I am very detail oriented and will bring so much love and care to your household while you are gone! Making sure your animals are kept safe, happy, and well taken care of is my mail goal! I have a light work schedule over the summer, I work 2-3 days a week during the morning into the afternoon! If you need me on those days no worries I will stop by before and after work if you need! I am very flexible and will attend to what you need! I prefer caring for pets in your home, my home is already at capacity with my 3 dogs! So keeping your animals at your house with me coming to visit is best case scenario!

“This was our first time using Rover because our dog Champ is an older shepherd that is losing his ability to walk on his back legs. I am happy to report that we were over joyed that Kiara came in advance to meet Champ and get to know him. Champ took to Kiara right away which made us feel comfortable with having to leave him in her care. Kiara came in before we had to leave which made it less worry some for us. Kiara was very good at staying in touch with us as to how things were going and shared pictures with us as well. I would highly recommend Kiara and will definitely call upon her services again.”

“Dotty absolutely loved Imani! Thank you for taking such great care of my babies!!”


About: Hello, my name is Ashley. I am a little new to pet care but I am eager to get started! I have had dogs my whole life and have always helped out with them. I have pet sat a few times and administered medication. I currently have a 5 year old Labrador Retriever and watch my friends dogs a lot. I enjoy taking them to the beach and to the dog park very frequently. I have always been an animal lover. Any animal, any size! Though I don't yet have any professional experience, I hope to gain some. I did work at a pet store while I was in high school and learned a lot about pet health and caring for ill animals. I hope to be able to engage with your animals and build a relationship with them as well as you! Thank you! I’m currently working full time as a bartender. I typically work 3pm-11pm but my schedule does vary week to week. I can be pretty flexible with hours when necessary. I have a dog of my own that I take on walks or to the park every day! I do live in an apartment so I take my dog on walks daily or we will go to the dog park or on a trail nearby!

“Samantha is very trustworthy, great with our husky. She was interested in knowing our pets personality, temperament, feeding schedule, walks I’ve never used a service like this and could not have been more pleased with the care given.”


“Andrew was great! Both dogs looked happy the entire stay. He payed a lot of attention to them. One of my dogs got injured the day I left and Andrew was able to handle a last minute medicine addition and was extra cautious for the injury. House is just as it was left. Would highly recommend!”


“Saul watched Frank for a week on very late notice and I would book him again in a heartbeat. I got frequent updates, daily pictures, and Frank looked very happy the entire time. Saul had me completely at ease my entire trip. I'll be sure to check his availability in the future! Thank you so much!”


About: Since I was 13, I have always been responsible for my bulldog, Oscar. He was a bigger, tough guy, so I am pretty experienced in handling tougher dogs. I also own a pit bull and have learned ways to deescalate situations with my own dog. I have consistently cared for my friends and families pets, walking, feeding, playing, even bathing them! I am a current college student, and work a per-diem personal care assistant job. I am available for overnights on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Weekdays can be accommodated depending on time, I am flexible so reach out! I am available throughout the week after my clinical rotations, and on the weekends. After my clinicals I am available at 8pm-9pm Monday-Wednesday, Thursdays anytime after 8pm. Friday-Sunday I am flexible, just reach out! My pets are crate trained, so I am able to operate them as needed for your pet. I have a fenced in yard but frequently take my pets for walks and keep them safe, like I would for your pet! Their safety and your comfortability is my priority!

About: I've worked in veterinary medicine for the last 10 years and still going strong. My knowledge for the health and safety of your furry family members is unmatched! I have experience with every kind of pet and pets with special needs. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own that are basically my children. 5 of 6 of my pets are seniors!! I like to keep owners updated daily with pictures included! I work most days from 9-5 at a veterinary clinic. My mornings and evenings are open for walks or feedings and I am available for overnight stays as well. I am open to however you would like me to care for your pet as long as it doesn't not put your pet or me in harms way. I love my pests as my children and will do the same for yours!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I have experience taking care of multiple pets growing up! I’ve had to dog sit for my cousins family dogs multiple times growing up. Also have been to a friends kennel many times and have dealt with over 20+ baby puppies! I am eager to work every single day of the week! I work at an elementary school as an asl interpreter and the year just ended for me so i’m in dire need of some Summer jobs! I care for my dog at home by providing food, water, plenty of time outside to get the energy out, occasional dog park trips, and baths!
