Candice took very good care of our pups which can be challenging. She stayed at our home and left it better than she found it which I really appreciate.

Faith did a great job taking care of our house and two dogs over a holiday weekend. Communication was good, she sent us photos daily, and seemed to enjoy the company of the pups. House looked great when we returned. I will definitely reach out to her in the future.

This was our first time using Rover, and with Laura the experience was great. She was very informative and a great caregiver. She stayed in constant contact with us throughout the process and kept us informed. She willingly worked with our requirements. During our vacation she looked over our dog and our house. We are so thankful for her, and have already booked another session for our future travel plans. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Nathan watched our 2 dogs and cat while we went on vacation for 6 days. We had never used Rover before so we're a little nervous. But he did great and the pets were taken good care of. Updates and pictures were sent many days. Very appreciated. We will be using his services again.

About: When me and your dog get together, and I’ll drop off your dog. Your dog will tell you how much they enjoyed the excitement and plans, but we did the amount of walks we do in the amount of time to play play fetch go to the dog park go on a run, the amount of snacks that we eat it’s like a dream come true just in dog form. I love my dog and being outside so I will love your dog just as much maybe more! Every day of the week Sunday through Sunday whenever I can play with your dog or changes going on a walk is the perfect time for me. I care for the dog like it’s my dog. Anytime of the daylight and sun is up is when we will be outside and enjoying the sunshine and breeze

About: I’ve taken care of dogs big and small, for neighbors, friends, and family since I was young. I work well with routine. Most animals love me from the moment we meet, willing to stay with the animals all day. Currently working part time so can stay with animals for long periods of time. Can work most days of the week. Not in school and my other job is for whenever I can. Unfortunately I cannot have other animals at the apartment complex I live in so I wouldn’t be available to watch them here. Also I only have unsociable cats at home so I wouldn’t be able to bring them over for play dates either.

Meredith was amazing! She took loving care of Dusty and Archie overnight and kept me updated with thoughtful check-ins. Her response time was excellent and her check-ins with photos were reassuring. Communication was prompt and clear and she genuinely cared about my dogs. I felt completely comfortable and reassured the entire time. I’d absolutely book her again and highly recommend her! 🐾💛

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of hands-on animal care experience and a genuine passion for animals. While attending college, I worked as a veterinary technician in both general practice and emergency care settings. Although this experience was several years ago, it provided me with valuable knowledge of animal behavior, safe handling techniques, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or care. In addition to my veterinary experience, I have spent years caring for pets belonging to family and friends. My experience extends beyond dogs and cats to include horses, pet birds, chickens, and reptiles. At home, we have a spirited Silver Labrador, a Cavapoo who is my son's best friend, a cat, a horse, and a gecko that spends school breaks with us. Being surrounded by animals every day has helped me develop a strong understanding of their unique personalities, needs, and routines. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a senior needing extra patience and attention, or somewhere in between, I am committed to providing dependable, loving care tailored to their individual needs. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat your furry, feathered, or scaled family members with the same care and attention I give my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine. As a teacher currently on summer break, I have open availability and a flexible schedule to provide reliable care and attention for your pets. During the school year, I am available on weekends, school breaks, holidays, and evenings. I am committed to ensuring pets receive consistent, loving care and maintaining their routines while their owners are away. I believe pets are often happiest and most comfortable in their own home, where they can maintain their normal routines and familiar surroundings. For that reason, I prefer to provide care in my clients' homes whenever possible. I take the time to follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, medications, and plenty of attention and affection. If boarding in my home is needed, I have a securely fenced yard and a pet-friendly environment. My household includes two friendly dogs, a cat, and a classroom pet gecko. I carefully consider each pet's temperament and needs to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while in my home. My goal is always to provide a loving, low-stress experience that helps pets feel secure while their owners are away.
