“Donna is awesome sitter! I would recommend her to anyone. She went above and beyond to help make my dogs stay comfortable. I will definitly use her professional services again.”

“We had a fantastic experience with our Rover sitter, Mallory! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we really appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and messages while we were away. It was clear that our dog was receiving lots of attention, care, and affection. The biggest compliment we can give is that our dog came home calm, relaxed, and happy, a sure sign that he felt comfortable and well cared for during his stay. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Mallory again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter.”

“Traci was very helpful and accommodating. She took my baby last minute (my previous arrangements feel through the day I was supposed to leave) and took her to the vet when she had problems with no hesitations. My dog loves her and her family. I will definitely reach out to her again if I ever need a sitter. Thank you so much, Traci!! You are a life saver!”

“Autumn was great with our black Lab for a long weekend away. She sent updates with pics and videos. I felt like she spoiled our dog with lots of love and attention! Easy drop off and pick up. She definitely cares for your pet like they were her own.”

“Sydni is hands down, one of the best sitters I’ve ever had for Theo! He always has such a good Time with her and her children, and they treat Theo the same way I treat him at home. She is my go to person when I need to board Theo or when I want him to be socialized with other people and dogs. 10 out of 10 would recommend.”


About: I have been watching friends and family animals for as long as I can remember. I love being able to give comfort to the animals when their parents are not able to. I do work full-time, but I’ve always been able to help out with my friends pets at least three times a day if not more when needed. I am not able to do in-home care at the client’s house-or overnight stays at my house at this time as I have an animal in my own.
“I felt very comfortable leaving our lab with Victoria for the week of our trip. She sent pictures and updates throughout our time away, and she replied back to me promptly when I had any questions. I know he was well cared for.”

About: I’m a SAHM to an almost 2 year old. We have time to spend with your animals and make sure they’re well loved and cared for . My son has been around animals and I’ve taught him to be gentle and would never leave your pet unattended. We also love taking them for walks or playing outside with them. I’m a SAHM mom to an 1 year old boy who loves animals . I’m available any time of day usually and try to spend an hour or two with the dog or cat at a time so they’re not lonely . I only care for animals in other peoples homes . I can do drop ins and if I’m house sitting for you I’ll spend a good bit of time with your animals . If I’m doing a drop in it will be for about an hour each time . If you’re worried about my son I can also bring a play pen for him

About: I’m well versed with all dogs as I’ve had pets since I was young, I’m especially familiar with high energy dogs as I have a German shorthaired pointer named Rue. Rue holds an AKC title and does various dog sports. I’m very familiar with dog behavior due to all of the training I’ve done with Rue. I’m the go to dog sitter for most of my friends and family. Whether your dog is a couch potato or is rambunctious I am ready for it! I’m a hair stylist who creates my own schedule. Because of this I’m very flexible and can be home whenever! I’m off Mondays/Sundays and my hours vary throughout the week. I like to plan gaps in my day so I’m able to go home and give your dog and mine some TLC. My boyfriend also has a flexible schedule and will be able to provide potty breaks mid-day if I’m not able to. I have a fenced in yard for pups to run around in. I also love taking the dogs for walks and on adventures if you’re okay with it! My dog Rue will be around for your dog to have a companion. I will feed dogs separately to avoid any issues surrounding food. I can also kennel your dog if needed. Rue is kenneled when I am not home, so there will be no unsupervised time with the dogs.

About: I began living with cats in college, and feel their absence every day since my graduation. There's a big cat sized hole in my heart. ❤️ I was unable to have cats growing up due to my father's allergy, but fell in love with the adopted cats of my college roomates. I've done much of the care for them, from cleaning litterboxes to nail trims, and I've got the scars to show from daily play with a kitten. I'd be honored to have the opportunity to meet and love your cats!

About: My family owned a dog when I was in middle school for about a year and a half, but due to busy schedules at the time we had to give him up. My brother had a dog for a little over five years, and I enjoyed helping him take care of her while I was living with my parents, and I went to their house to see her and help take care of her when needed before she passed away! I am different from other sitters because I will spend as much time as I possibly can with your pet! I know that with my brother’s dog, Emma, I wanted to be home with her as much as I can when I was living with my parents so she could be out of her kennel as often as possible.
