“Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was. I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.”
“Stella and her family hosted my Nora (border collie/husky) for 27 days, and I could not be happier. Nora was clearly very happy and integrated well with the family. I received frequent text updates, and never had to worry about my dog's well-being. Stella's fenced back yard is a huge asset. There were a few bumps early on a Nora acclimated to their home, but Stella and her family were very patient with her. I appreciate that so much!”
“This was my first time meeting Debbie and she did a fantastic job with our black labrador! I can tell he enjoyed his almost full-week stay with Debbie! She is wonderful and I will be seeking her for pet care services in the future.”
About: In addition to my own dogs, I have also owned cats of my own in the past, giving me years of firsthand experience with feline care. This personal background fits perfectly with the routine care I provide for my sister’s animals whenever she goes on vacation four times a year. I take complete charge of her four dogs—three Miniature Pomeranians and a Goldendoodle—and have even cared for their puppies in my home on two separate occasions while she was out of town. My responsibilities for her also include looking after her cats, ensuring they are properly fed, and keeping their litter boxes clean. This extensive, hands-on experience with multi-pet households, puppies, and feline care has made me highly adept at maintaining safety, routines, and a nurturing environment for animals of all ages and types. I'm pretty open as I'm a special education teacher and off in the summer. I have free time and I'm flexible. I would love to make extra money doing what I love. I care for them as I would my own children. We are all in the same area as a family. Pets are free to roam the house and I have a fenced in yard.
“Open & easy communication. My dog that is very hesitant of new people went up to Norma automatically and on her own. Norma followed my instructions for medication & being leashed. She eased my anxiety greatly for what I’d consider a worrisome dog (she is a runner) will be using again for our next trip. Thank you Norma!”
“Angela (and her husband Dave) took such good care of Zoe! This was our first time leaving Zoe with someone else and they really made it easy for us. She sent us pictures often and sent me updates on Zoe. She really made me feel at ease! We’ve already booked another stay over the holidays.”
“Megan was very welcoming and accommodated some last-minute travel plans and made Copper feel right at home. He also got along well with her three pups. He enjoyed having a fenced in backyard where he could run around and play. Thank you!”
“Thanks to Rusty, I was at ease traveling for a few days with the dogs in his care. Rusty has a dog-friendly space indoors and out and was attentive to the dogs’ individual personality traits and needs. This was the first time I’ve left them with a sitter and both dogs responded well and appeared comfortable. It’s a huge relief to know that Rusty is available to care for my dogs if I need to be away.”
“Jacob was great. He is very accommodating, his communication is excellent and you can tell he truly loves dogs. Jacob sent us nice daily updates and photos and made sure our dogs felt at home. His dog is very friendly and made it fun for our dogs to stay with them. We will definitely use Jacob again!”
“Thank you Elaina and Joseph for allowing me to book with a short notice and for being very flexible with dropoff and pickup times. Communication was excellent, constant updates and pictures, and great care. You'll definitely be my sitter of choice when I'm in the area. Thank you!!”
“We have used Melody twice to watch our miniature dachshund, Phoebe. The most recent stay was 7 nights; Melody did an excellent job providing cute photos and videos daily. Phoebe had a fun time going on walks and playing fetch with all of her toys. We would definitely use Melody again!”

About: I’m a reliable, full-time teacher on summer break, which means your pet will get my full attention and care—no distractions, just love and fun! My background in education has taught me patience, structure, and the importance of clear communication (with both humans and animals!). I’m deeply passionate about animals and treat every pet like they’re my own—whether that means extra snuggles, long walks, or just keeping their routine steady while you’re away. You can count on me to be responsible, loving, and always in tune with your pet’s needs. I grew up taking care of my family’s dogs & cats. I truly love all animals & will care for yours like they’re my own! I am a teacher on summer break. Your fur babies will have all of my time and dedication! I am free most hours of the day and for overnight care as well. Inside my home, pets will be treated like family. I create a calm, safe, and clean environment with plenty of cozy spots for rest and space for play. I follow your pet’s usual routines to help them feel comfortable, whether that means scheduled feedings, medication, cuddle time, or independent lounging. For outside time, I take dogs on regular, safe walks in pet-friendly areas and always keep them leashed and closely supervised. If your pet enjoys extra play, we’ll get fresh air and activity while staying within your comfort zone (no dog parks unless requested!). I prioritize your pet’s wellbeing, safety, and happiness
“Tommy and Julie were amazing! This was our first time using Rover and our first time ever leaving our dogs with people we barely even knew. They quickly put our worries at ease and sent constant updates on our pups during our week long vacation. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had cats my entire life, and now I currently have two of my own! My cats are my whole world so you can trust I’ll give the same love and care to your own! Everytime my friends and family go out of town, they know to call me to care for their cats. All cats are different, I respect the boundaries that each cat sets and know the signs of when they become uncomfortable.
“I was leaving on a longer vacation and was nervous about leaving my cat alone for more than a few days. Heather immediately took those worries away and cared for my kitty like she was a part of her own family. She provided updates every day with pictures that put my heart at ease. If you are looking for a wonderful, kind, and responsive cat sitter then Heather is your girl! 10/10 :)”

“Tommy and Julie were fantastic this past week. They came over in advance to meet our cats and see what their routine was like. They asked lots of questions to make sure the booking was a good fit for us and them. They were very friendly and responsive while we were gone, they arrived on time every day, brought in packages and mail for us when they were here. They took time and care to feed the cats, clean their dishes and played with them every day. We received daily pictures and video from them as well. Would definitely recommend them and will be using them again as well!”
“Declan is an extremely friendly and reliable sitter! He's great with our new kittens and has been very gracious working with us on short notice with our relatively erratic schedule. Would recommend to anyone in need of a sitter!”

“Emily is awesome! She was very attentive to my cat and I appreciate her promptness for the times I requested. She is very friendly, listens and respects your requests. I would "highly" recommend her for your pet!”
“Linnea was absolutely outstanding! She really made my wife and I very relaxed knowing that she was taking great care of our cats. Linnea always sent great daily information and pictures of our furry boys. I would highly recommend Linnea! We will definitely use her services should the need arise again in the future.”
“Stella was recommended to me by a friend and I can see why! She was AMAZING!!! My dog instantly fell in love with her and I knew she would be in great hands. Everyone says they are an animal lovers, but... animals really love Stella. She just has a warmth to her. I will absolutely leave Umi with her again.”

We had a few technical glitches, and there are a few thoughts I think I will share with him privately, but those don’t lower his star rating because he really did provide great service.

I follow your pet’s usual routines to help them feel comfortable, whether that means scheduled feedings, medication, cuddle time, or independent lounging. For outside time, I take dogs on regular, safe walks in pet-friendly areas and always keep them leashed and closely supervised. If your pet enjoys extra play, we’ll get fresh air and activity while staying within your comfort zone (no dog parks unless requested!). I prioritize your pet’s wellbeing, safety, and happiness
“Tommy and Julie were amazing! This was our first time using Rover and our first time ever leaving our dogs with people we barely even knew. They quickly put our worries at ease and sent constant updates on our pups during our week long vacation. Highly recommend!”
“Dickson is a very caring dog sitter. He did everything he could to make my bulldog feel comfortable and have fun. He gives video and picture updates of their adventures. I would absolutely have him watch my dog again!”
“Our first time with a pet sitter and our 3 year old cockapoo, Frankie, was in the perfect place. We used to use a a dog boarding business, but she absolutely hated going. Elizabeth provided Frankie with a nice big fenced in yard and other dogs to run around with. She also sent us photos on many days to let us know how Frankie was doing. Could be happier with our experience with Elizabeth.”
“As always, Deanne and her family took excellent care of our Bazooka! Bazooka has a blast every time! There are sitters closer to us, but we choose to use Deanne exclusively because she goes the extra mile! Five stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I loved leaving my Yogi at JoAnne’s. She was very welcoming, anxious to make sure I was comfortable with her house and her puppy and she had a calm friendly manner. Yogi ran right in, met her dog and started playing, JoAnne sent me several very cute pictures of Yogi playing and resting, so I could see that he was having a good time. I would hire her again if she is available.”
