1. Cheryl B.

“Cheryl did a great job taking care of my somewhat persnickety cat, Dottie while we were away for a week. She came by every day and even helped me out by watering my plants one day, which was a huge help. We got cute pics of Dottie and I came home to a happy cat and everything just as I left it. Would definitely use Cheryl again.”


2. Isabella S.

“Isabella was great and very responsive to all questions. She sent several pictures and updates. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”


3. Jessica H.

“Jessica was amazing with our dogs for drop in care while we were at Disney. I was not expecting her to send pictures and videos of the dogs so that was so nice to get live updates. She was very accommodating, and so professional. If you’re looking for a dog sitter and need someone on base then look no further. We will be booking her again this summer and we will have zero worries about our fur babies because we know they will be well taken care of.”




4. Alexandra D.


“Alexandra always take such great, personal care of our fur babies. We have booked her for several years now, and appreciate the daily updates and concern she shows for our cats.”


5. Gina C.

“Gina took great care of our sweet little guy. Our cat was spoiled by Gina. She sent pictures everyday. She was wonderful and I’ll be contacting her in the future for more spoil time with our fur baby.”




6. William R.

“Had both a great drop in and a great walk experience with Will. Good communication, both our dogs warmed up to him quickly and he sent us photos on both his visits to our house. Thanks!”




7. Caron B.

“Caron was amazing with our puppies. We didn't have to worry the whole time we were gone. She took care of their special dietary needs and gave them the extra potty time they needed during the rainy days we had. Would definitely book again.”


8. Hannah H.

“Hannah was great and made us feel so comfortable having her with our pups!”


9. Jessica & Jonathan B.
“Jessica and her family were wonderful. With a large fenced in backyard, she was available short notice for dog boarding and weekend dog walking. I can rear assured that our dogs are well cared for and receive lots of affection during their stay. Dog walks are a famiky affair. Jess and her three girls return our dogs tuckered out with restless energy spent. Her fee is quite reasonable and negotiable.”


10. Dana L.
“Dana has been incredible with watching our two golden retriever girls! She and her family were loving, attentive and provided constant updates to us on our girls. We knew we could try on Dana even on those last minute trips we had. Easily our go-to person who treated our girls like their own.”


11. Ginny M.

13. Hannah T.
About: Hi everyone! I've had pets in my home since I was a little girl. I have one cat that is like my child. I'm very trustworthy and dependable and I can also provide references if necessary. I've had animals from cats, to dogs, to fish, to hamsters. I've also worked with dogs as small as chihuahas to german shepherds and I have experience with exotic pets such as turtles as well. I'd be willing to work with your pet on new tricks too. My parents border collie was completely trained by me and he can sit, shake, lay down, roll over, and high five. Thank you so much for considering me! I'd love to love on your fur baby. I have sat for over 15 families in the area through word of mouth on Facebook. I work full time remote from home so your fur baby would never be left unattended during the work day. If away for any reason, they would be kenneled (if that is your preference.) I have a small fenced in yard that is perfect for potty breaks! Your pet will receive tons of snuggles, “good boys” and head scratches!


14. Amber M.

“Amber was always on time to take care of my pets. She gave them affection and play in addition to my regular care requests. I received pictures and or videos from each visit. Amber communicated and responded quickly when I had a question. I will absolutely use her again for pet sitting and would recommend her to others. I have used other local pet sitting companies within the last 6 months and I was very unhappy with their services. I am very pleased to have used Rover and worked with Amber. Working with Amber allowed me to enjoy myself on vacation while I was away from my pets.”


15. Samantha R.
About: With years of pet care experience, I specialize in puppy training, senior pet care, and giving each animal the love and attention they deserve. I have had Doberman, and German Sheperd’s most of my life as well as cats of all ages. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable nature and ability to quickly bond with pets of all temperaments. I treat every pet like family! I work full time during the week, but I have a lot of flexibility in my days to meet all your pets needs! I am free on weekends all day! I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep spaces clean and secure, and give them the love and attention they need to feel safe and happy. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.


16. Jen R.

“Jen dropped in on my bulldog while I was out of town for 5 days. She communicated well and was always timely with pictures. Definitely would recommend her!”


17. Ashley L.
“Ashley is the best dog sitter! She loves all animals and they love her back! She is very responsible, reliable and has a big heart.”


18. Jennifer S.
“Jen is a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter! She was patient with our high needs cat and was willing to come multiple times a day to keep him on schedule. She was also willing to jump in last minute when we had to change plans.”


19. Haily J.
About: I have been caring for pets of all kinds for five plus years. My family owns a farm, along with five dogs and four cats. I am very passionate about animals and in making sure they are happy, healthy and content! Whether you need a walker or an at-home sitter, I will always be ready to take on a job with a smile on my face :) I am looking forwards to meeting you and your fur baby’s! I currently can’t hold any pets at my residence but I can stay with your pet in your home or go to them as many times a day as you would like to love and care for them and give them as much exercise as they need! I am currently a caretaker for pets full time while my partner works full time. We have no children and only one fur baby so I have plenty of time on my hands! When watching pets, (customers, or my own) I like to keep the pet in view at all times. The well being, and happiness of a pet is my number one priority. I love all animals, and would love to meet yours


20. Katlyn P.
“I can personally recommend Katlyn for pet sitting because she has taken care of my dog on multiple occasions, whether I was gone for a weekend or almost two weeks. Katlyn thoroughly enjoys walking dogs and playing with them to help get their energy out. She is also extremely responsible and trustworthy. When Katlyn has watched my dog before, I did not worry one bit that she was being very well cared for.”
