4. Scarlett M.

“Where to even start? If you were thinking of booking Scarlett do so right now because she is the BEST thing to ever happen to us when it comes to someone caring for our babies when we’re gone. She’s so accommodating, empathetic, caring and sweet. She treats not just the animals but the owners like family as well. I don’t think there are enough letters in the alphabet for me to string together the perfect words to describe her. We have found our go-to person for any trips we do on and are so grateful for her. She has become not only our pet sitter but our friend as well and our fur babies love her. Best Rover sitter ever!”

“Laura did a fantastic job watching my little guy, Cash! She sent me updates and photos which I always greatly appreciate and was flexible with some time changes at the last minute! We highly recommend her!!”




6. Charity H.

“Charity and her husband, Jeff, took great care of our dog! Our dog is suffering from a progressive disease that has affected his hind legs. He is only able to stand with the use of his dog wheels. He also requires oral medication twice a day. I had contacted Charity last minute after an unsuccessful overnight stay at a kennel. At our meet and greet, I could tell she was a person that loves dogs, and George took to her instantly! When we returned home George was happy and not stressed at all. I can’t thank them enough for taking such good care of my fur baby!”

“Dillon is awesome! He was our house/dog sitter for six days while we were out of state. it was so nice to come home to a happy dog and a clean house! Dillon went above and beyond caring for our home and our Zeva. if I could give him 10 stars I would! I highly recommend Dillon to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since i was 6. i currently work for dog boarding.

12. Megan C.


“I’ll start by saying that before choosing Megan we looked at quite a few of the sitters on this site. We left on 22 December and return on January 3. That being said it was a lot to ask of any sitter to babysitter over the holidays on such short notice. When I met Megan, I felt so comfortable with her. She stayed for a meet and greet for quite a while to get used to our animals. She accepted our timeslots, even though it was over the holidays. We felt like she was more than worth what she was charging as she was losing time with her family over the holidays and offering to stay with our pets so that we could go out of state to spend time with ours. It was very important to us that we had someone we could trust she was staying in our home to sit for our animals, I can say that I am so happy that we chose her. She was amazing. Gave us daily updates videos and made us comfortable. We were able to enjoy our visit without having to worry about our animals. They are not enough stars to rate for the job that she did and the peace of mind that we had. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again. Megan thank you so much. We appreciate everything that you did for us.🦮🐈⬛ Buddy and Zoie miss you ❤️❤️❤️”


13. Lauren L.
“Lauren loves animals and is actually studying to become a vet. She has rescued dogs and continues to do things for their betterment. Having her be a dog caregiver for someone is a no brainer !!”


14. Jake & Ana K.
About: Over the years, my love for animals has grown immensely. Dogs are cute and cuddly little furries that will never grow up and will give you unconditional love. I am currently available for a wide variety of options as I do not have a job and don't having one for the foreseeable future. I have a screened in porch, a big back yard and one small Maltese to keep your dog company. It is a very quiet neighborhood.


15. Terri A.

“Terri is the best!! She took excellent care of my fur babies while I was out of town. I will definitely use her again!!”


16. Bryce H.
“Bryce is so amazing and so attentive! Thankful he was able to come when he did on short notice too. Very accommodating, genuine and trustful. Will always recommend! If I had to use stars 10/10 :)”


17. Amber D.
“Amber is a true animal lover. Cats, dogs, lizards…it doesn’t matter. She is kind, patient, loving and supportive to all animals and takes the time needed to make them feel at ease and comfortable. She has experience in bottle-feeding newborn kittens, raising them and also caring for special needs adult cats as well. She has training from the Humane Society on dog care and walking procedures and will take as good of care of your fur babies as you do.”

About: Your pet(s) will be treated and cared for like family, and the environment is calming, secure, and quiet to assist with comfort and boarding stay. I'm currently part-time, however, I can make adjustments as necessary and can board daily and on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. We can discuss the details of the care for your fur baby.

19. Angela & Robert K.


“Angie and her daughter came to our home several times per day to care for our 4 furkids. They were SO amazing and went above and beyond to make sure that they were getting lovins and well cared for; they also looked after our home bringing in the mail and taking out the trash while we were gone. I’d highly recommended them!!”
