I absolutely would recommend Taylor! She was very nice and respectful of my home, and did a superb job taking care of my pups. Her hours were flexible and she was able to accommodate my needs - even though they were last minute. She’s good with animals and I would certainly trust her to watch them again in the future!

Sydney is an amazing pet sitter. My bird doesn’t like many women but came to sit on her shoulder right away. She was able to come check on Ricky kind of last minute New Year’s week and I’m so glad she was available.

Elisha was great with our 2 dogs, both high maintenance. She came over for a meet and greet, asked good questions to made sure she understood their needs. During the 3 pet visits, she kept us up to date and send pics and videos. This first pet sitting day was on short notice so we could attend a funeral. She was great, we’ll use Elisha again.

Jenna and Jason did a wonderful job caring for my sweet dog. They were on time, very kind, and asked all the right questions. My dog can be kind of skiddish, but they made her feel very comfortable. I will absolutely be asking them again to watch our sweet pup.

About: Hi, I’m Rosie! I’m an experienced animal caregiver and I am very passionate about providing safe, loving care for every pet. I’ve known since I was little that I wanted to work with animals, and this opportunity allows me to continue building that path while I’m in college. Through my previous job, I gained hands on experience and a strong understanding that animal welfare always comes first. I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! Since I’m currently taking college courses I am usually online finishing assignments but since I am online I make sure to keep my schedule flexible so I can provide reliable, attentive care for your pet. I’m always happy to communicate and find times that work best for you! Safety and trust are my top priorities during walks and drop-ins. I always ensure collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure before walks and stay aware of our surroundings to keep your dog safe and comfortable. As for drop-ins, I carefully follow your pet’s routine for potty breaks (or ensuring a clean litter box!), feeding, fresh water, and playtime. I double check that doors and gates are secure before leaving and treat your home with respect. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands!

Our first time using Sidney to watch our dog and she exceeded our expectations! She was kind, reliable, always on time and my dog seemed to really like her! This was the first time in a while that I didn’t feel any stress leaving home because I knew she had everything handled. Will 100% be booking again!!

Kim was absolutely amazing! Beyond words but I'll try! This was our first time using Rover as we typically have friends in town that can help out with our cats, but they were also gone this week. Now I don't think I'll ever go back to having friends pet sit as long as Kim's available! My cats absolutely adored her, even the one that I've never seen come out for strangers or even friends had so much fun with her! It was so amazing knowing my girls were so well fed, played with and loved on while we were away! Thank you so much Kim!

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, animal-loving sitter with a genuine passion for caring for pets like they’re my own. I have two dogs at home, so daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and lots of love are already a big part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Because I have hands-on experience with my own dogs, I’m comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pup needs long walks, extra playtime, or just some cozy companionship, I’m happy to adjust to their needs. I also live with my boyfriend, so there are always two attentive and caring people in the home. That means your dog will never be left without supervision or care, even if one of us steps out, the other is there to make sure everything runs smoothly. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like part of the family and keep you updated so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away!

First time trying out a dog sitter and this girl is amazing. Such a nice and comfortable experience while away from the house and to have someone so good at what they do was a blessing. Great photos each day of my puppy and very respectful of my home. Highly recommend booking Cameo. She’s great!

Kay is fantastic. We had a long gap between needing dog sitting and when she came over to pick up a new key, my dogs FREAKED out. They aren't even that happy to see me after a long trip. She plays with my Shepherd mix at every visit and the pictures she sends are fantastic. She was even nice enough to bring in packages and water our plants. We love Kay and she's the only one I trust with my pets!

We recently had Noel watch our two cats and she did a fantastic job! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly took great care of them. We came home to two happy, well-loved cats and a tidy space. We'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter!

Elisha saved my butt! I had an emergency pop up and couldn’t find anyone to check in on my puppy. She took my last minute booking and went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care off. She asked plenty of questions about his care, stayed in constant communication throughout the visit, and sent me pictures and videos for peace of mind. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a drop in visit

Marina was my first pet sitter, and left me feeling at ease. She took tons of pictures of my cat while I was gone, left my place in the same condition, wrote detailed notes about how my cat was doing, and even brought in a package that was delivered while I was out. I’ll be rebooking with her next time I take a trip.
