“Brooke has watched Girlie several times and has always been available even last minute, and I love that she is a familiar face to Girlie now. Super communicative and friendly!!”


“Had a last minute emergency and booked same day! Natasha was there within an hour and took very good care of my girls! Both looked so happy in the pictures and I know she treated them well! 10/10 recommend!”


“Could not have asked for a better person to check in on my pupper while I was out of town for a few days. She was punctual and considerate, took care to be observant of my dog’s behavior and keep me apprised.”


“We all feel scared leaving our babies in someone else’s hands and this time was no exception, except for one difference, Bryce. From the minute we started communicating, I knew right away that she was all in to create a positive, safe experience, and she delivered. Murphy and Jackson had the best time! Bryce kept me up to date and even spent more time than she agreed to just to make sure the boys were good. THANK YOU, BRYCE (and sisters).”


“I can't say enough good things about olivia! She went above and beyond caring for my two dogs one who is very nervous around new people, and my elderly senior pup who requires daily medication and extra TLC. From the very first check-in, I could tell both dogs were in great hands. I received regular updates, photos, and reassurance, which gave me so much peace of mind. Olivia was incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive. exactly what my dogs needed. I came home to happy, calm pups, and that speaks volumes. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”


“Holly was SO great! She completed 2 weeks of daily drop-ins while I was on vacation and each update was very timely and included plenty of pictures of my cat! Really appreciate her quick communication, friendliness, and reliability.”



“Melinda was great with our kitties during our stay. They are very shy with strangers but she was able to interact with them every day and able to get photos of them. I will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.”


“Kalyn was amazing! Our fur babies loved her as all the photos she took attested. She took the time to cuddle, play catch and give them the attention they needed. She clearly is an animal lover..and they love her back! Thank you so much Kalyn! We so appreciated all those photos and look forward to booking you again. 🌹”


“Kimberly is a wonderful dog sitter. She was everything her countless reviews said she would be. Our timid dog Wally took to her from the minute she came for the meet and greet. He never does that. We definitely would book with her in the future.”


“Maggie was the first Rover sitter I ever booked with, and I have been a repeat customer since. She is so easy to work with, and she goes above and beyond in all aspects. She is very communicative and intentional in her care for animals. I receive adorable pictures of my cat and very thorough updates each visit, so I always feel comfortable and trust that my animal is in incredible hands with Maggie. The litter box stays fresh, her bowls stay refilled and clean, and she spends her visits playing and getting to know your animal as much as they’ll allow. My cat once had a small accident outside the litter box and Maggie didn’t hesitate to deep clean the mess. I also once had to leave town for a last minute family emergency, and Maggie was incredibly understanding and helpful with scheduling visits If you’re a first time Rover user or frequently book on the app, I highly recommend Maggie.”


“Madi and Abby were amazing! Our two young cats were so comfortable around Abby and that shows how great she was with them! She followed all instructions, sent tons of pictures that made us so happy while away, and even was extremely patient and communicative during a situation where our electric front door locked wouldn’t open! Would absolutely recommend and book again! So happy we found them!”


About: I understand how important it is to have someone dependable you can trust to keep your pets happy, safe, and cared for—while sticking to the routine they know and love. I currently have one playful and sweet kitty, and I grew up caring for three golden Labradors and two guinea pigs, so animals have always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve also regularly looked after pets for friends and family, whether they’re traveling or just need a little extra help with day-to-day care. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits during mornings, lunch hours, and evenings, with occasional weekend availability as well. Whether your pet needs feeding, enrichment, a walk, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to help. I'm experienced with many types of pets, but I especially enjoy caring for cats. From quick check-ins to longer hangouts or walks around the block, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. You can also expect lots of photo updates to help you feel connected and reassured while you're away. I’m happy to meet ahead of time to get to know you and your pet, answer any questions, and make sure everything feels right before a scheduled visit.

“Today was our first meet & greet with Storm, and I’m so glad we connected! He was kind, calm, and very professional. I immediately felt comfortable talking to him, and he really took the time to get to know my dog, Coco. It was great to see how quickly Coco connected with him and also with his sweet dog, Harley! They got along right away, which made me feel even more confident. I’ll definitely be continuing with Storm for walks and care, and I absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, responsible dog walker.”

About: I have a husky mix at home, so I’m very familiar with high energy dogs and how to keep them happy, active, and under control even when they’re still learning. I’m confident working with pets who are untrained or a little wild, and I always stay calm and patient. My family and I love going on sunset walks with our dogs and it’s one of the best parts of our day! I’ll bring that same care, energy, and love to your pet, whether we're walking, playing, or just hanging out. Pet care has been part of my daily life since I was 9. From morning treats to afternoon walks and midday playtime, caring for animals has always been second nature. I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and attention. I’m available for care from 6–8:30 AM and 4–9 PM, and during that time, your pet will be my top priority. Our home is a lively one—with both a husky and a cat, I'm used to giving pets the care and attention they need, even in a busy environment. Whether it’s brushing, belly rubs, or a few extra treats, I make sure every animal feels loved and cared for. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I treat every pet like they’re my own.
