“Nicole and her family were wonderful!! They took great care of my Pointer Stella and she had a good experience. They sent me pictures of Stella with Nicole’s family and her friendly pets.

“Everything worked out just fine! Macchi is her happy energetic self and I'm glad to have her back! Thank you so much for utilizing the instructions left for her. It's often difficult to find someone who will follow them. We would totally stay again!”

“Anne is the best dog sitter we have ever had. She cared for our dogs like they were family. She shared pictures and videos with wonderful narratives. Her loving nature with our dogs made our vacation even more enjoyable.”

“We had the most incredible experience with boarding with Haleigh. We boarded an 18 month old GSD puppy with her. She showed him such great care and provided many updates. I cannot recommend her more. Five star. Nicest person ever.”

“Aleisha is terrific. I have two tiny Yorkies who have never been away from me. They are three years old. I was scared to leave them but at the meet and greet, Aleisha made me feel comfortable and I knew my babies would be well cared for and loved.

About: I've rescued 3 cats from 8 weeks old and they are all healthy happy adults now. I've also worked with multiple rescues including TNR rescues. I've worked in Pet Hotels as a general associate and pet groomer so I do have experience cleaning after other people's cats aswell as grooming them too. Currently we have a litter robot for our 3 cats but I've used all sorts if boxes and litter systems before making the decision to the get the machine.
“Michelle was awesome! She is very genuine and loves animals. She took great care of our kitty Hazel. She completed all of the visits as planned and sent great images and messages about the visit. She made our first experience with Rover a great one! We will request her again!”


About: I’ve always had a love for cats and animals in general. I grew up with two cats of my own and even fostered cats when I was younger, which helped me learn how to care for cats with different personalities and needs. I love how every cat has their own little personality, whether they’re playful, cuddly, shy, or more independent. I have experience with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving attention and affection, and making sure cats feel comfortable and safe in their own space. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I’ll treat your cat with the same love and care I would give my own.
“Natasha was wonderful! She was very thorough and communicative, and we never had to worry about our cats while we were away because she was so on top of everything. She spent plenty of time with them on each visit, and also kept us updated with lots of photos. Our cats are senior citizens and need medications, so they're not the easiest to take care of, but Natasha handled everything incredibly well. We would happily have her watch our cats again.”
About: I’ve taken care of nine animals in one house before. I’ve taken care of senior dogs and young puppies. I also have taken care of Snakes, Sugar gliders, Chinchillas and more. I have an open schedule. I will most likely accept requests if i’m available that day. I’d love to watch animals everyday if I could. I stay at the clients home if they are comfortable with me doing so. I spend all day caring and spending time with your pets.
About: Hi there, I’m Brittany. Animals make me happy. When I see a pet, I see a child. They are a member of the family. They have the sweetest souls and biggest hearts and I wouldn’t treat them any other way. I have one dog and I was raised with 3 dogs and 2 cats. I have always been an animal lover and I always will be. Every day I take my dog on at least one walk and many times I walk him multiple times per day. I treat my fur babies like family and how I would want to be treated. I am not only here to help you during your busy schedule but to become a friend to you and your fur baby. To house sit during longer durations, I can travel to anywhere. I would need to bring my golden retriever with me if your pets like to socialize and make new friends, he loves other dogs and gets along with them great, he is very social and has been to many dog parks and households with pets, if not I may be able to find someone to take care of him for me during that time. For drop in visits, I can assist on my own or bring my dog for some company. I am also available on certain days for doggy day care and boarding. When I have a dog stay with me I treat that dog like my own and it would have an amazing friend to play with. Pets are allowed on furniture, I have treats, toys, tons of dog beds, and a fenced in yard. I will also take your dog out on walks and play fetch or tug to burn energy. If you choose to book me, thank you for trusting me and I won’t disappoint you! My schedule is very flexible, and I would love to help accommodate what you need help with, whether that is daily or weekly. I am always picking up new work bookings. I have booked a lot off of rover so I have additional referrals if you would like them! I will treat your animals and home as if it were my own, with love, trust, and respect. I have helped out for many years taking care of people's pets and homes. I have many references.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all kind, worked for Wag! And have worked at a few doggy daycares as well, I have obedience training experience, grooming experience, dispensing medication experience, and I absolutely just love dogs overall! I’m also working on building up a clientele to eventually grow into a fully operational doggy/cat daycare/hotel. Get up I feed my fish first thing, then I let my dogs out, put food in my dogs dish, let him inside to eat, then it’s play time. Pups will get plenty of walks, i like to go on multiple walks a day on my own, and can accommodate for every level of energy.

I enjoy excursions to the park with my dog for walks and relaxing. Children are grown and gone so it's just a couple who enjoy dogs. We have a senior Labrador who is very friendly, has all vaccinations and has free roam of the house. I am also available to sit for your dog in your home if you prefer.

I love to walk, play and give lots of love and attention so those will be incorporated frequently! I will treat your pet(s) and home with the utmost respect as I do my own. I will stay in frequent contact with you and will take pictures throughout the visit and send updates each night so you can be assured of my service and your pet’s well-being.
“Alexis is absolutely amazing in every way, upon first meeting her I could tell how kind hearted she was making it calm my mind of any worries that one may have leaving their fur babies with a stranger. Since Max has been going to Alexis he absolutely loves it, he had friends to play with and she makes sure they get plenty of play time and sends me updates throughout the day. At first Max would try to leave when I left after dropping him off, now he doesn't care about me when I drop him off. When I come to pick him up he is excited to see me but doesn't want to leave his friends. So I must say thank you Alexis for taking such good care of Max and giving him the love and care that I would while I'm at work I truly appreciate you and all that you do.”

About: I have experience caring for both large and small dogs, including a 2-year-old Great Dane and a pit bull mix puppy. Through this, I have developed strong skills in handling dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My dogs are well-socialized, friendly, and comfortable around both people and other animals, which reflects my commitment to proper care and positive interaction. As a stay-at-home parent, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I am available to supervise, engage in play, and ensure dogs receive regular outdoor time and exercise as needed. Your pet will have constant companionship and a safe, well-monitored environment while in my care. I maintain a consistent routine to support each dog’s comfort and well-being. In warmer weather, I provide outdoor breaks approximately every two hours, allowing time for exercise and play. Dogs also receive regular indoor play and engagement. In my home, pets are typically allowed to remain out of the crate, promoting a relaxed and comfortable environment while still ensuring their safety and supervision.
