“Isabella was fantastic with our big nervous Great Dane! We loved the pictures and updates as he braved being around her own fur babies. I would absolutely trust her with your own, and will definitely be rebooking!”
“My mini Aussie stayed with Jormary for 8 days, normally my dog is quite nervous in new surroundings, Jormary took such great care of her, gave extra attention so she would feel less anxious. I was getting daily updates and pictures. Jormary followed instructions to the t, I am very happy with the care Jormary provided for my pet. Would definitely recommend and I am certain I will book again!”
“Dorothy was amazing! I loved how informative and flexible she was with me as well as how kind she was with Mabel (my dog). She sent me so many adorable pictures throughout the stay and frequent updates about how things were going. She watched Mabel for five nights and I received something every day, which I extremely appreciated. It’s always a little stressful and worrisome to have to leave your furry friend alone, but honestly I think Mabel had her own little vacation 😂 She seemed to enjoy playing in the big yard and making friends. I would absolutely rebook and recommend Dorothy!”
“We booked Ashley TWO HOURS before our wedding as our original sitter fell through. She sent us lots of updates and our lil baby even came home with a cute bandana and smelling so fresh and clean. She was great!!!!”
“Amanda was amazing! It was my first time using Rover and I was worried nothing will go right BUT things went better than expected and I'm happy my pup Mellow was in good hands the week I was gone. THANK YOU AMANDA!!!”
“I chose Jasmine as a last minute resort and when I say I'd choose her over and over again, as well as HIGHLY recommended her, I mean just that!! Jasmine is an amazing communicator before, during, and after her services has been rendered. The amount of love and attention she provided our family pup was top tier. I almost felt as if our pup wouldn't want to return home. Lol but we all know that dogs are loyal. I will be using your services again for formal and informal visits, as like you stated, pups need social lives as well. Again, my family and I thank you so much for everything. You are the best!”
“Katrina was awesome! I needed someone in short notice and she was able to help us out! The whole time she’s been updating us with pics and vids of just how much fun Keeley has had in her care. Katrina has been communicative the whole time and returned to us a very happy pup! Thanks Katrina! We will be using you again and I recommend her to y’all as well!!!”
“My Mei was well taken care of Joel and his wife took very good care communicated every single day sent photos the show progress that they were making with my baby and I was very satisfied with her. She was very well behaved when she came home and I would definitely rebook with them again. it was like she was being taken care of by family.”
“Josh is great! Sends daily updates with lots of pictures. I never had to worry about Nilla & Coosa while gone to Utah this past week. Especially not having cell service during the day. I knew my girls were being well taken care of. Josh is my go-to sitter when I need to leave my girls for overnight stays!”
“Lynn was great! Sent periodic photos and was so pleasant the entire time, starting from before drop off to drop off. It sounds like my dog also got along with hers and her family! Would rebook with her again if I needed dog sitting.”
“Andrew is an excellent pet sitter. He keeps me updated throughout the day with videos and pictures. I also like that he only accepts one booking at a time so I didn't have to worry about my boys not getting along with other cats. Will book again!”
“Heather was amazing! We have used Rover many times and our experience with Heather far surpassed the others. She sent a lot of pictures, walked our dogs, her kiddos cuddled and gave a lot of attention to our animals. I highly recommend booking with Heather. We for sure will be using her in the future.”
“Erin is amazing! She is always quick to respond and has been available pretty much every time we have asked. She and her dog, Yoda, are both great with our dog, and she has been our go-to pet sitter for over a year!”
“The pups had a fantastic stay! Megan took great care of them and kept in touch with us. It was their first stay with a sitter so it was a learning experience and we’re so grateful.”
“Courtney is absolutely amazing! She recently watched my mini schnauzer, Mimi, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met, I could tell Courtney genuinely loves animals and would treat Mimi like her own. While staying with Courtney, Mimi was truly spoiled — she got to sleep in their bed, snuggle on the furniture, and was cared for like a member of the family. Courtney kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked Mimi up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly felt right at home. It’s such a relief knowing I’ve found someone I can fully trust to care for my girl. If you’re looking for a sitter who will love and care for your pet like family, Courtney is the one. Mimi and I are so grateful to have found her!”
“Kimberly was wonderful! This was my first time leaving my dogs in the care of anyone other than a family member, so I was pretty nervous at first. Kimberly gave me frequent updates, lots of pictures, and I could really tell that my pups were being loved and well cared for. Thank you so much!”
“Susan was excellent with our two dogs and sent pictures to re-assure us that they were getting along fine with her dogs. She was very accommodating when I misjudged our drop off and pick up times. Our dogs seemed happy there.”

“We've been using Rover for years, and our experience with Bernice was unmatched! She cared for our two pups for eight days and went above and beyond--excellent communication, frequent photo updates, and genuine kindness and affection. Our pups clearly adored her. Without question, she's the best sitter we've ever had. Highly recommended!”
“Isabella is the BEST sitter we have found by far! I’ve recommended her to several friends/clients. She always communicates so well and leaves the best notes for each visit. We are moving to a different state and won’t be able to have her as our sitter anymore so during her last visit, she left a gift bag at our home with a handwritten card, toys and several of our cat’s favorite treats! There’s nothing better than knowing your pet is cared for and Isabella really goes above and beyond.”
“This is the second time we have used Maricella. Good communication. Great care for our cats and fish. Can tell she really cares about them. Sends a lot of pictures. We’ll definitely use her again!”
“Jormary is wonderful! As a repeat client, I continue to trust her with Max and Ruby. She is reliable, communicative, and always provides excellent care during her drop-in visits. I’m grateful for attentiveness and kindness towards Max and Ruby, highly recommend her services. 🐾😊”
“We are VERY happy with Adaline’s care of our two cats. Her communication and information about the drop-in visits were thorough. She was on-time and sent us a few photos from each check-in. I am comfortable recommending her care and will book her services again in the future if needed.”
“Ayden was great at sending up updates and pictures and my cats behaved really comfortably around him. We came home to everything just how we left it and comfy, healthy pets.”
About: I've grown up around all kinds of cats, from family pets to barn cats and even neighborhood strays. I recently adopted a kitten of my own and have loved learning even more about them and their personalities. I'd love the chance to meet and care for your cat!
“I can't say enough good things about having Joshua as our cat's pet sitter while we were away on vacation. He's very professional, prompt, communicative, and gave our boy lots of attention during his check-ins. We enjoyed reading through his entertaining Rover cards each day too!”
About: Over 33 years experience caring for animals. Technician, hospital and boarding experience. Very knowledgeable about giving injections, medications etc. It's very important to me that each clients needs are met. If lounging on the couch or bed is okay with mom and dad I love it. If mom and dad's rules say no furniture, I will follow any guidelines. My passion in life is animal care and treating each one of these amazing fur babies like they are part of my family. I also have extensive knowledge about breeds and the traits they have. They are individuals just like we are and each have different needs. Forming a trusting bond is very important to me. It's an honor to be entrusted with their care. :)
“Paige was great, very communicative and seemed to connect really well with our dogs! We had a lot of anxiety because one of our girls doesn’t like to be alone and hadn’t been without us before but she was very comfortable with Paige and seemed to take a lot of comfort from her drop-ins!”
“Darla has been doing drop in visits for my three pups. She is amazing! She is great about being here around the same time each day to keep my dogs on a good schedule. She is very loving towards them and takes great care of them for me!”
About: Hi! I'm a 28 y/o dog mom new to the area! I have a sweet little 10lb cavapoo who I am obsessed with and who adores other dogs! I'm home all day (Army wife life) so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets, whether it's playing with them or taking them on walks around the neighborhood. I'd love to explore the area with your pet, or just give them the snuggles they’re used to while you’re away. My dog is a rescue who I raised from puppyhood—so I don’t mind accidents, teething, training, etc. I’m vigilant about safety with dogs, especially around cars and roads, so you can rest assured knowing I won’t let anything happen to your pup. I also grew up with two very energetic dogs in my home and I know how important pets are to each family. I'm happy to get to know your pet and any quirks they might have--places to avoid, special care they require, anything at all! Little more about me: I’m from the Midwest and have my Bachelor’s from U of M! I spent the last few years in the Washington, DC area with my husband as he went through medical school & residency. We’re an Army family but still hold our Midwest roots dearly :) I work part-time remotely, so I’m home and available all day and in the evenings. I’m happy to stop by to play with your pup and take a break from work, or go on my evening hot-girl walk with your dog by my side! I will treat your pet like my own when they’re in my home! We love to play, wrestle, and snuggle on the couch! My dog has free rein so she lounges on the couch, her beds, our bed, etc. Your dog is welcome to do the same! We can assess how the dogs get along and decide how to leave them if I have to step outside—we also have baby gates where I can separate the dogs if that’s best. I do not have any children so there aren’t little toys for your dog to get into, and I’ll keep all food and shoes put away. I like to think my apartment is quiet and cozy, so I’ll be sure to provide a calm environment for your pet! I am able to go to your home and meet your pet in their familiar space. I am open to all notes and tidbits about your home, your neighborhood, etc so that your pet has the best experience with me.
About: I’ve had dogs growing up my entire life, and plan on getting some of my own once I complete nursing school! I am a nursing student at Mary Hardin-Baylor so anytime I can come and check in on your pets, give them some love and attention, would make me happy! I currently only work part time along with my school schedule and study a lot, so need to take breaks. It would be great to take some of the breaks to love on your animals the same way you would while you are out of town. I no longer have an animal of my own since I moved out of my parents home. But I grew up with toys all over and the animals being treated as family because they were family.
“Lili took care of our 2 cats for 12 days and did a fantastic job. Our house was kept super clean and our cats were super happy too. Loved all the photos and videos she sent us to keep our mind at ease that our cats were in good hands. Would highly recommend Lili!”

About: I have grown up on a farm with a bunch of animals, so I know how to take care of a variety! I am currently a legal assistant working from home, and I am looking to make extra money. My schedule is fairly free, so I have time to pick up some extra activities. I live in a house with a backyard. I am a very active person and don’t mind taking frequent walks/runs. Fur babies deserve love as much as humans and I will make sure that happens :) Having my own dog, I know the important stuff of being attentive and patient. I work from home, so I always have time for attention. My dog is my best friend and has traveled the country with me. It is not always easy to leave them behind, so I understand the importance of knowing they’re cared for when finding a pet sitter. Know they will be in good hands here and happy to provide all the updates! My remote position allows for attentive care. Most days I am home all day except for my morning and evening walks. So, they will have around the clock care! I treat everyone’s animals as if they were my own, so they will be well cared for with plenty of attention. It will be their own fun vacation!
About: While I’ve been around dogs for over 10 years, most of my hands-on care experience comes from being a full-time mama—which means I’m no stranger to routines, messes, or giving lots of love and attention! I also work full-time from home, so your pup won’t be left alone and will get plenty of care, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. What really sets me apart is that we live a low-tox lifestyle—so my home is a clean, pet-safe space free of harsh chemicals and full of love. Your dog will be treated like family here, surrounded by sweet kids, fresh air, and a relaxed, playful environment. Whether they need a walk, a nap buddy, or a consistent routine, I’ve got it covered—just like I do for my own little crew. I work full-time from home, so I’m able to be with your pup all day. We’re a very active family that loves spending time outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of attention, fresh air, and playtime! I only offer pet care in our home, where your pup will be treated like family. We have a clean, low-tox, pet-safe environment with plenty of space to relax and play. I work from home full-time, so your dog will get constant love and attention throughout the day. Our mini schnauzer, Bogey, is very relaxed and loves being around other dogs—he’s the perfect companion for visiting pups! Safety and trust are top priorities, and we do everything we can to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for quite a while! It started with trick training which turned into completely 6 months at a dog training school and earning a certificate in canine training and behavioral specialist. I am confident in handling and caring for the most difficult pups! From nervous and anxious dogs to high energy working dogs, I am willing to create a safe and effective boarding/care experience for them. My whole life revolves around my dogs so your pups will be loved and cared for during their stay. I have a schedule that allows me to fit any pet care needs. My dogs get tons of outside times, walks, and potty breaks throughout the day so whatever plan your pup needs we can accommodate! I am flexible on creating a system that works best for you pets. I can house dogs that are not good in crates and well as dogs that need to be crated. I have pet cameras throughout the home so I can keep watch at all times! We can come up with a system that works best for you pets! Whether that be multiple walks per day or a special feeding plan!
About: I have experience caring for dogs for friends and family, including walks, feeding, and playtime. As a mom, I’m naturally patient, attentive, and nurturing, I treat every dog like part of my own family. I keep you updated, follow instructions carefully, and make sure your pet gets the best care every time. As a full-time student and stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and enjoy getting outside. I’d love to spend that time walking and caring for dogs and cats I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away.
“Noodles had so much fun playing at Josh’s house! Communication was great and I always felt super comfortable. Loved getting the report card of how she did with lots more pics!”
About: I have been in the veterinary setting since I was sixteen and I've been a veterinary technician for a couple years now! I am now focusing on the most important thing in life which is family and I would love to take care of your fur babies when you need it! I am a certified forehead kisser and a great conversationalist with the non-speaking, I do not discriminate on personality and/or breed. I am confident in my ability to make your fur baby feel comfortable in my presence and I can't wait to meet you! I am available early mornings to afternoons until about 3pm-5pm! (Open to longer days depending on your schedule) Weekend availability when needed. As of right now, I am not offering any overnight stays. Before taking care of your pet, I would love to meet them and also have you show me around your home and/or list out any specifications or requirements. (written out instructions are definitely a preference to have on hand!) If you feel comfortable having the pet at my home, I do live in a gated community with plenty of area for walks and outside time! My home is currently run by a cat named James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser (bonus points if you know who that is) and he could not care less about dogs so he'll just deliver the constant side eye. I am very comfortable administering medicine if needed (including injections) I do require some form of flea and tick prevention - whether that be Nexgard, Seresto collar, or essential oils.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. I grew up with two boston terriers and a boxer. I currently have 3 pups of my own! My little lady is a 7 year old Westie mix , my big girl is a Short Haired Pointer/Pitty mix who is 5! And lastly my golden retriever Leo is 2:)! I love animals with all my heart which is why I have 3 of my own. I would love to give your animals the love that they need when you're at work or on a vacation. I am a stay at home min to two girls and a little boy! My schedule is very flexible. I am home most hours of the day and willing to leave to help out at any time. I have 3 dogs of my own that love other dogs. I also have three cats and a toddler. My yard is huge .56 acres with a 6ft fence for the dogs to run around and play. My house is the definition of animal friendly.
About: We have raised 3 different dogs together. Two of those furr babies required medical care and special diets, so we are always very attentive and careful with all pets needs! We recently lost our precious boy River, due to his liver disease and we miss his presence tremendously. So having other pets over truly helps keep us going and having a boost of morale. With that being said, we will give your pet 100% of our attention at all times. You can trust your pet will be supervised and cared for all day. At least one of us is always home to supervise when we are dog sitting so your pet is never alone. We have a small dog park at our complex for some outdoor fun time, and can provide daily walks as well to ensure they get more exercise! We have made our home safe for your dog keeping certain things out of reach. I can update you regularly with picture updates as well!
About: ** I have been an avid dog lover from the time I was a little kid and have had the privilege of having four dogs in my life, two currently. In the past I have taken care of a wide variety of dogs, from little Chihuahuas to large Saint Bernard and Newfoundlands, and I take care of two large Great Danes re-occurringly in my home! My time caring for dogs has involved me walking them 3-4+ times a day while also spending time to socialize with them, as well as feeding them at specified times, while providing them with personal space to eat if needed in my home. Personally I have had the great opportunity to have two Yorkshire Terriers, a golden retriever, and a black mouth cur. As well as having my own dogs now, a loving mush of a pit/boxer/little bit of everything, mix and a golden retriever. I also have experience working with cats and had a cat of my own for 13 years. My desire to work with animals comes from the love I have for my own and the joy that animals bring me in general. I greatly enjoy encounters with new animals whether I'm caring for them or just simply meeting them while on a walk. **I always like to add that I do have experience with both oral medication as well as injections such as insulin, etc! I am currently working on a paralegal program for fun and other than that, I generally don’t do much outside of the house. The longest I’m usually gone is for the gym or groceries! I have a lovely fenced in yard and two amazingly sweet pups that are wonderful at keeping any and all dogs company at the times I am not home. There is also the option to crate them while I am gone (they are used to that from our previous home) if that is what you would prefer! Dogs are always welcome on the couch and to sleep in the bed, but I also completely respect keeping up with dogs that are trained not to do so.
About: I have taken care of dogs as far back as I can remember. Love walking them, playing with them, and mostly cuddling with them. My children love dogs as well, well they love all pets. Looking forward to walking your best friend even if it’s just an hour. Available after 2pm every day and able to board during the weekends. Still give them their walks so they aren’t missing home to much. Give them lots of love and attention. Kennel with going outside to work off some energy. Let them hang out with us in living room to watch a movie. Have two dogs of my own but depending on how friendly they are with each other might have to keep them separated.
About: I’ve had dogs for my whole life. I’ve been dog sitting for the last 7 years in addition to having my own dog. I work from home and I’m able to provide constant companionship to your pup. I work full time from home, so I will be a constant companion for your pup. I can be available for drop-ins or in home pet care. I am experienced in dog sitting. I’ve got 1 dog of my own, she’s a loving sweetheart. I have a fenced in yard so your pup has a playmate and a place to run around.
About: As a kid I was taught responsibility by caring for our horses, cats, dogs, birds, fish and guinea pigs. I’ve had pets all my life! My mom’s cat almost died of a bacterial infection in her mouth and I’ve helped administer antibiotics to her until she got better. I had a cat who had kidney disease and needed to have IV fluids every week. My other cat had to be mouth fed with a syringe as well as monitored via thermometer up his butt. I have house and pet sit for friends and family that have multiple pets, most recently for a friend that had 6 dogs of all sizes! I am an active individual so walking will be a treat for them and me! :) I have given dogs and cats baths and also cared for dogs in heat. I have a very open and wide range of availability and I am available most days, including weekends and holidays as I rarely ever go out of town. It would be great to develop some long term relationships with new pets and their owners! Repeats are always great but not expected. I will do what I can to work with your schedule and the needs of you and your fur child. I will do my best to maintain consistency and high-level care when it comes to your pet. Each pet is different and I try to get to know each one individually in order to gain their trust and yours and provide the best care possible. Often times, I will send pictures to the pet owner, especially if it is a new client or a pet owner is out of town for an extended amount of time. I am easily reachable and try to communicate clearly about wants, needs, and scheduling. I prefer to do a meet and greet prior to providing a service, but it is not mandatory, especially for last minute bookings! We have a small yard in front and neighbors that will walk their dogs but they are all on leashes and well behaved. We live in a newer and safe community and I often take my dog for a walk around the neighborhood. There is a small park down the street which is nice too. We also have a fenced in backyard which can be seen from the inside of the house or the porch. We live in a one story house, but there are steps from the porch to the yard outback. My husband lives with me and has also grown up with cats and dogs. We currently have one male cat Santiago who gets along great with our male Chihuahua Juan Pablo and also got along great with my former senior Maine coon cat. He is a bit weary of strangers at first, but he will just hide until he gets to know you a bit and then you won’t be able to get him off of your lap. We have a gate in between the kitchen and the rest of the house so that the Chihuahua can have free rain to walk around and not have to be in his cage when we are not home. In the event that we have another animal in the house we can keep the Chihuahua in his cage. We also have two bedrooms and two baths that can be used to separate animals.The Chihuahua is very friendly and gets along great with the cat. He is also a bit skittish at first with strangers but once he gets to know you all he wants to do is give you kisses. He is very non-aggressive and barely ever barks. He is also very friendly. I feed my cat both wet and dry food twice a day in his food dish and he has water out constantly. I feed the dog twice a day, sometimes dry food, and sometimes refrigerated dog food. I let the dog out several times a day and we go for a daily walk as well. I clean the kitty litter box once a day. I snuggle and cuddle with both of them as much as possible, and play fetch with the dog at various points throughout the day.
“Jaeger had a good time with Reagan. He came home happy but tired. He must have gotten plenty of exercise because it takes a great deal to wear him out. We will definitely be back. Reagan was informative, kind and kept us up to date on how Jaeger was doing.”

“Mellow truly enjoys staying with Marisa! I feel confident about his stays with her because I know she will help him as he continues to work on his social skills. She is patient with him and is consistent in providing feedback so that I can help him in anything he is working through. I also love all the pictures and videos she sends me! Thank you, Marisa, for pulling through with the last minute changes during my move!”

I'm home all day (Army wife life) so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets, whether it's playing with them or taking them on walks around the neighborhood. I'd love to explore the area with your pet, or just give them the snuggles they’re used to while you’re away. My dog is a rescue who I raised from puppyhood—so I don’t mind accidents, teething, training, etc. I’m vigilant about safety with dogs, especially around cars and roads, so you can rest assured knowing I won’t let anything happen to your pup. I also grew up with two very energetic dogs in my home and I know how important pets are to each family. I'm happy to get to know your pet and any quirks they might have--places to avoid, special care they require, anything at all! Little more about me: I’m from the Midwest and have my Bachelor’s from U of M! I spent the last few years in the Washington, DC area with my husband as he went through medical school & residency. We’re an Army family but still hold our Midwest roots dearly :) I work part-time remotely, so I’m home and available all day and in the evenings. I’m happy to stop by to play with your pup and take a break from work, or go on my evening hot-girl walk with your dog by my side! I will treat your pet like my own when they’re in my home! We love to play, wrestle, and snuggle on the couch! My dog has free rein so she lounges on the couch, her beds, our bed, etc. Your dog is welcome to do the same! We can assess how the dogs get along and decide how to leave them if I have to step outside—we also have baby gates where I can separate the dogs if that’s best. I do not have any children so there aren’t little toys for your dog to get into, and I’ll keep all food and shoes put away. I like to think my apartment is quiet and cozy, so I’ll be sure to provide a calm environment for your pet! I am able to go to your home and meet your pet in their familiar space. I am open to all notes and tidbits about your home, your neighborhood, etc so that your pet has the best experience with me.
About: As a kid I was taught responsibility by caring for our horses, cats, dogs, birds, fish and guinea pigs. I’ve had pets all my life! My mom’s cat almost died of a bacterial infection in her mouth and I’ve helped administer antibiotics to her until she got better. I had a cat who had kidney disease and needed to have IV fluids every week. My other cat had to be mouth fed with a syringe as well as monitored via thermometer up his butt. I have house and pet sit for friends and family that have multiple pets, most recently for a friend that had 6 dogs of all sizes! I am an active individual so walking will be a treat for them and me! :) I have given dogs and cats baths and also cared for dogs in heat. I have a very open and wide range of availability and I am available most days, including weekends and holidays as I rarely ever go out of town. It would be great to develop some long term relationships with new pets and their owners! Repeats are always great but not expected. I will do what I can to work with your schedule and the needs of you and your fur child. I will do my best to maintain consistency and high-level care when it comes to your pet. Each pet is different and I try to get to know each one individually in order to gain their trust and yours and provide the best care possible. Often times, I will send pictures to the pet owner, especially if it is a new client or a pet owner is out of town for an extended amount of time. I am easily reachable and try to communicate clearly about wants, needs, and scheduling. I prefer to do a meet and greet prior to providing a service, but it is not mandatory, especially for last minute bookings! We have a small yard in front and neighbors that will walk their dogs but they are all on leashes and well behaved. We live in a newer and safe community and I often take my dog for a walk around the neighborhood. There is a small park down the street which is nice too. We also have a fenced in backyard which can be seen from the inside of the house or the porch. We live in a one story house, but there are steps from the porch to the yard outback. My husband lives with me and has also grown up with cats and dogs. We currently have one male cat Santiago who gets along great with our male Chihuahua Juan Pablo and also got along great with my former senior Maine coon cat. He is a bit weary of strangers at first, but he will just hide until he gets to know you a bit and then you won’t be able to get him off of your lap. We have a gate in between the kitchen and the rest of the house so that the Chihuahua can have free rain to walk around and not have to be in his cage when we are not home. In the event that we have another animal in the house we can keep the Chihuahua in his cage. We also have two bedrooms and two baths that can be used to separate animals.The Chihuahua is very friendly and gets along great with the cat. He is also a bit skittish at first with strangers but once he gets to know you all he wants to do is give you kisses. He is very non-aggressive and barely ever barks. He is also very friendly. I feed my cat both wet and dry food twice a day in his food dish and he has water out constantly. I feed the dog twice a day, sometimes dry food, and sometimes refrigerated dog food. I let the dog out several times a day and we go for a daily walk as well. I clean the kitty litter box once a day. I snuggle and cuddle with both of them as much as possible, and play fetch with the dog at various points throughout the day.
About: I have experience with large breeds, from owning a Great Pyrenees mix. I'm comfortable with daily pet care, and I'm happy to give medications or follow special care instructions. I also have some experience with cats of all ages, and I'm comfortable with feeding, playing, and keeping their litter box clean I'm available throughout the week for pet care, and I'm flexible with my schedule. I'm looking to make pet care my full-time job, so I'm fully committed to providing the best care for your furry friends! I ensure a safe and comfortable environment for pets by following the owner's instructions carefully, maintaining their routines, and providing plenty of attention and playtime. I provide regular updates and am always available for communication.
About: I’ve worked with both puppies and senior dogs at houses. I’ve had a lab since 12 weeks that’s well trained and very friendly. Outside of my own dogs, most recently was 7 dogs with a wide range of breeds and ages for 8 days. Ages ranged from 6 months to 20 years. Visits multiple times a day and stay to make sure they all were content after being outside. I have online classes Tuesday and Thursday 1-4 pm. so I cannot make availability during that time. Any other time or day fix’s into my schedule. We have a big yard for my dog who is crate trained and sleeps in her crate at night. She’s fed twice a day and goes on walks early or evening so the ground is cooler. Past houses I’ve taken care of usually have fences and sleep in crates or on couches inside. They get let out multiple times a day and get fed twice a day. Some have requested for walks other just specify that they go outside for a bit.

About: I have been in the veterinary setting since I was sixteen and I've been a veterinary technician for a couple years now! I am now focusing on the most important thing in life which is family and I would love to take care of your fur babies when you need it! I am a certified forehead kisser and a great conversationalist with the non-speaking, I do not discriminate on personality and/or breed. I am confident in my ability to make your fur baby feel comfortable in my presence and I can't wait to meet you! I am available early mornings to afternoons until about 3pm-5pm! (Open to longer days depending on your schedule) Weekend availability when needed. As of right now, I am not offering any overnight stays. Before taking care of your pet, I would love to meet them and also have you show me around your home and/or list out any specifications or requirements. (written out instructions are definitely a preference to have on hand!) If you feel comfortable having the pet at my home, I do live in a gated community with plenty of area for walks and outside time! My home is currently run by a cat named James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser (bonus points if you know who that is) and he could not care less about dogs so he'll just deliver the constant side eye. I am very comfortable administering medicine if needed (including injections) I do require some form of flea and tick prevention - whether that be Nexgard, Seresto collar, or essential oils.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life, both dogs and cats, and there’s nothing I love more than being able to interact with both of these animals! Pet care fits great into my daily routine because I have so much time with my day due to the fact that all I do is go to school and workout. At home I often take my dog where ever I go. Going to the gym so is he! Going for a walk so is he!

About: I’m a dependable animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve spent a lot of time around dogs, cats, and other small animals, and I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and basic care routines.

My goal is always to provide a calm, reliable environment where pets get plenty of attention, activity, and love.

“Isabella was fantastic with our big nervous Great Dane! We loved the pictures and updates as he braved being around her own fur babies. I would absolutely trust her with your own, and will definitely be rebooking!”
“My mini Aussie stayed with Jormary for 8 days, normally my dog is quite nervous in new surroundings, Jormary took such great care of her, gave extra attention so she would feel less anxious. I was getting daily updates and pictures. Jormary followed instructions to the t, I am very happy with the care Jormary provided for my pet. Would definitely recommend and I am certain I will book again!”
“Dorothy was amazing! I loved how informative and flexible she was with me as well as how kind she was with Mabel (my dog). She sent me so many adorable pictures throughout the stay and frequent updates about how things were going. She watched Mabel for five nights and I received something every day, which I extremely appreciated. It’s always a little stressful and worrisome to have to leave your furry friend alone, but honestly I think Mabel had her own little vacation 😂 She seemed to enjoy playing in the big yard and making friends. I would absolutely rebook and recommend Dorothy!”
“I chose Jasmine as a last minute resort and when I say I'd choose her over and over again, as well as HIGHLY recommended her, I mean just that!! Jasmine is an amazing communicator before, during, and after her services has been rendered. The amount of love and attention she provided our family pup was top tier. I almost felt as if our pup wouldn't want to return home. Lol but we all know that dogs are loyal. I will be using your services again for formal and informal visits, as like you stated, pups need social lives as well. Again, my family and I thank you so much for everything. You are the best!”
“Katrina was awesome! I needed someone in short notice and she was able to help us out! The whole time she’s been updating us with pics and vids of just how much fun Keeley has had in her care. Katrina has been communicative the whole time and returned to us a very happy pup! Thanks Katrina! We will be using you again and I recommend her to y’all as well!!!”
“My Mei was well taken care of Joel and his wife took very good care communicated every single day sent photos the show progress that they were making with my baby and I was very satisfied with her. She was very well behaved when she came home and I would definitely rebook with them again. it was like she was being taken care of by family.”
“Josh is great! Sends daily updates with lots of pictures. I never had to worry about Nilla & Coosa while gone to Utah this past week. Especially not having cell service during the day. I knew my girls were being well taken care of. Josh is my go-to sitter when I need to leave my girls for overnight stays!”
“Lynn was great! Sent periodic photos and was so pleasant the entire time, starting from before drop off to drop off. It sounds like my dog also got along with hers and her family! Would rebook with her again if I needed dog sitting.”
“Heather was amazing! We have used Rover many times and our experience with Heather far surpassed the others. She sent a lot of pictures, walked our dogs, her kiddos cuddled and gave a lot of attention to our animals. I highly recommend booking with Heather. We for sure will be using her in the future.”
“Erin is amazing! She is always quick to respond and has been available pretty much every time we have asked. She and her dog, Yoda, are both great with our dog, and she has been our go-to pet sitter for over a year!”
“The pups had a fantastic stay! Megan took great care of them and kept in touch with us. It was their first stay with a sitter so it was a learning experience and we’re so grateful.”
“Courtney is absolutely amazing! She recently watched my mini schnauzer, Mimi, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met, I could tell Courtney genuinely loves animals and would treat Mimi like her own. While staying with Courtney, Mimi was truly spoiled — she got to sleep in their bed, snuggle on the furniture, and was cared for like a member of the family. Courtney kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked Mimi up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly felt right at home. It’s such a relief knowing I’ve found someone I can fully trust to care for my girl. If you’re looking for a sitter who will love and care for your pet like family, Courtney is the one. Mimi and I are so grateful to have found her!”
“Susan was excellent with our two dogs and sent pictures to re-assure us that they were getting along fine with her dogs. She was very accommodating when I misjudged our drop off and pick up times. Our dogs seemed happy there.”
“Domino enjoyed his stay with Alayna. Communication is a breeze, she always update me with lots of pictures. Thanks so much Alayna and see you soon for another wonderful vacation for Domino :-)”
“Absolutely fantastic experience. She took great care of my dog and gave me peace of mind while I was away. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos, and it was obvious my dog was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. Very reliable, professional, and kind. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet.”
“Kelly did a great job with my dog! He was calm and in good spirits when I came to pick him up. She also sent me a photo right away which let me know he was well adjusted in their home. She also texted me several times to let me know how he was doing. I would highly recommend her and her family for taking care of your pet family member!”
