“Andie did great with our skiddish kitty cats over the holiday weekend. She made sure she saw them, tried to get them to warm up to her, and listened to instructions well in regard to feeding them / cleaning up their area. She was also delightful during our meet and greet and exhibited her vast knowledge by chatting about her history of cat care. Overall, we are pleased with Andie and highly recommend her for your feline family members! 😸😸”


“Nevaeh was fantastic! She arrived right on time and went above and beyond during her visit. She took Mia out to the backyard for a potty break, brought her back in, spent time playing with her, and even checked in on our cats—despite only being scheduled to let the dog out. We’re very happy with the care she provided and will absolutely be using her services again in the near future. Highly recommended!”


“Isabelle is amazing! She left thorough reports when doing drop ins. Completely went above and beyond! We will definitely book again with Isabelle.”


“Bailey came and did a meet and greet with my pups. They took to her immediately as they can tell she truly loves animals. She took notes for our coming visit and implemented her tasks wonderfully. I got picture updates on how they were doing for the day and when one of my pups had an accident in the house, she cleaned it up perfectly. Highly recommend her and will be using her services again. 😃”


“It was my first time using Rover for a last minute booking while traveling. Simone was great! Thank you so much for easing my mind while enjoying my time away!”

“Kimberly was great with our 2 cats. She had them warmed up to her and asking for pets from the first visit. We will definitely use Kimberly again. We travel often and knowing someone is kind to our fur babies and trustworthy is a huge relief when we are away.”


About: I started caring for dogs when I was 12 years old, where I learned to bathe, feed, and train Golden Retrievers. I continued to implement what I learned with those loving dogs, with my own dog who is now 11 years old and is named Oliver! I treat every dog like my own - with love and care. I am a flexible young woman with time before and after my 9-5! I am dependable, caring and responsible. I love to help care for animals and enjoy helping others in my free time. I care for pets in my clients home by being respectful of the space and leaving food and leashes right where I found them and belong. Being respectful and caring of my client’s pet and space is very important to me.

About: I've been pet-sitting since I was 10 years old. I grew up around dogs and farm animals, and have always loved taking care of them. I'm familiar with all type of breeds and energy levels. I am a voice teacher and singer, so my schedule is very flexible. I can work around almost anything and will be able to give consistent care if needed. Each animal is unique, and I pride myself on being able to adapt easily to new routines so that your fur baby can continue their day with little to no upsets.

“Emma was super awesome with our little girl. She pulled through last minute and was super flexible. Highly suggest Emma to take care of your pets.”


“Erika helped us out very last minute over the holidays and was great to work with. She kept us updated at each visit and took great care of our two dogs. She was professional and communicated effectively with any questions she had. We would definitely have Erika watch our dogs again!”


About: I love taking walks at the beach or park to watch the sunsets. Why not have a furry friend with me. I dog watch my moms husky and her pit bull on the weekends sometimes as needed. I love being home and watching movies with my kids so why not have a sweet dog around! My pet care fits in my daily and weekly routine almost any time of day or evening! I can be flexible and accommodate anyone schedule! How I care for pets in my home or clients home would be very organized and cleaned first! Also taking them out for walks and feeding them as soon as I see them or when it’s time for feeding!

About: And small ones. And cats. Basically all animals! Hello, my name is Jamie and I am an avid animal lover! I had two cats, both I had since they were less than a year old and they lived to be 20 and 22 years old. I know right?! I now have two large dogs who love to go on walks and car rides and they both have very different personalities. I will lovingly take care of your family member as if they are my own and provide updates while in my care. I understand not all animals react the same and I am noticeable of atypical reactions from dogs: cowering, tail tucking, and snarling are all signs that I am observant of and will back away to give the pup time on it's own to adjust and come to me when it is ready. I look forward to hearing from you and taking care of your precious family member. Thank you! I will have availability during the week and also on weekends to take care of your family member and I am available for pop in services such as potty breaks or walks during those days as well. Since I have two dogs of my own I won't be providing services at my home but I can visit your pups or cats in the convenience of their own homes.


“Casey took excellent care of our dog, Whiskey, and our cat, Malibu, while we were away. She was professional, attentive, and made sure they were happy and comfortable the entire time. It was a very pleasant experience, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands. Highly recommended!”


About: I treat every pet like family, giving them personalized love, attention, and care. I'm experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and pets needing extra patience or meds. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I’m available after 6pm on weekdays and fully open on weekends for walks, drop-ins, cuddles, and quality time. In your home, I follow your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or meds. I give them lots of love, attention, and a calm, safe environment. I always respect your space and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away.


About: I love animals, and especially dogs. I enjoy feeding, petting, running, playing, and everything else too. My specialty is playful pets that never get tired. I have owned and cared for dogs almost my entire life since I was 7 years old. My first dog was a miniature doberman pinscher. I also owned one of her puppies, who I also cared for his entire life. I have cared for friends and family pets too, including birds, cats, and other dogs. I have experience house sitting dogs and cats. I also have provided daycare for dogs. I can manage big dogs, but I prefer small and medium-sized dogs. My duties to your pet include walking, feeding, watering, playing, petting, chatting, cleaning after them and making them as happy as can be.

About: I live 5 min from the airport. My family and I have always been animal lovers, and I grew up surrounded by animal love. I've always lived with pets, both dogs and cats, and therefore understand their needs and how to make them feel at home. During my care, I provide constant updates on your pet's status and keep up with changes in mood or behavior. I'm a very active and fit person, ready to play nonstop or go for long walks. I love to take care of all kind of pets. Weekend will be the best moment to get animal love in my life and also help people to have the best care experience for their pets. I have a medium size house with a fenced back yard perfect for pets to run and play. My family and I love to care animals so love will be given all the time and your friend will always be treated with the best conditions.

“Chelsea did a great job caring for our two kitties while we were away. She sent so many photos and a nice report of how they did for each visit. I have a short list of people I trust to care for our pets and I would absolutely use her again in the future for our pet sitting needs!”



“Our pups and cat took to Alex right away. Alex was great at communicating and sending picture updates. One of our pups had an accident which he cleaned up promptly and he also give us updates of Yogi's condition throughout the time he was there. He us updated on our pond water level and reset a pet cam when it stopped working. I would highly recommend Alex!”


About: I’ve not only worked for a vet office as both a kennel technician, but also as a certified vet assistant, I’m certified through both Petco and Petsmart to groom dogs and certified to groom cats aswell. I have a wide birth of knowledge and expertise apply in the care of pets. I currently work part time at Petco, only on Monday nights, so my schedule is very open for sitting, walking, and grooming your fluffy family members! I prefer written instructions so to make sure nothing can be forgotten and I can bring toys, treats, and even pick up your pups food for you. Potty break frequency is always at pet-parents discretion and basic grooming such as brushing and teeth brushing is included in my service. I will always try to leave a home looking nicer than I found it - rest assured I will treat your home like it’s my own and tidy up after myself.

About: I’ve always loved animals since I was a kid and got my first dog when I was 10. They lived a long and healthy 18 years of life. When they were 15, we got them some company with a puppy! Although their energy was opposite, they got along swelling well. Loving to get back in touch with the fur family so I’ve been caring for family and friends pets more often. I’m an actor so I always know how to entertain them as well as being able to read them pretty well. I have some experience with administering medication as well. I’m currently a grad student on summer break so I have plenty of time currently for all my fur babies needs! Once school begins in September I’m positive so early morning as well as evening care is more than possible. I do not offer care at my own home, but am an extremely neat, tidy, and minimal person. Any past clients I’ve had to do overnight stays with can attest to that.

Carly B.
“I can’t recommend Carly enough as a wonderful pet caregiver! She’s incredibly attentive, dependable, and treats every pet with love, like they’re part of her family. When she took care of my dog, she made it a point to learn his habits, like his fear of loud noises or his love for chasing his shadow. She kept me updated with regular messages and adorable photos of their walks and playtime, which gave me so much peace of mind. Carly has a genuine passion for animals, and it truly shines through in everything she does. Whether it’s bringing along an extra toy, comforting them during thunderstorms, or showering them with love when you’re away. You can really tell how much she cares. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pup!”

Samantha is so awesome! My dog is usually so shy, but warmed up to her so quick and loves her so much! She is also really flexible and sends me the cutest pictures 💗

Audrey is wonderful with our two Danes! She was on time, communicated frequently, and handled our crew so well. Thank you!!
