“Thank you, Rebecca! SHE IS a dog whisper! She sat for two non-social dogs that had never been apart from both owners simultaneously. Her in depth knowledge and experience with dogs was recognized at the first meet-n-greet, but even more so with the two days/one night she spent at our home caring for Buddy and Willow. She knows dogs, their temperaments, senses, etc. Rebecca provided us an opportunity to go have a wonderful experience at our youngest daughter's college graduation without the concerns of working schedules around the dogs. She was a 'big piece' of making that all happen, and words cannot express our gratitude for your services!! Highly recommend Rebecca!! One very special lady!!”


“Connor does a great job! Housesitting and dog care were his responsibilities for us. It is obvious he really enjoys fur babies. It does not appear to be just an avenue to make money for him. He is professional, courteous, and listens to instructions. Jake and his humans are immensely happy we found him!”


“Eliana was wonderful. We hired her for house sitting for July 4th weekend. She took care of both of our dogs (40lb and 60lb) and took them on walks, fed them and played with them in the yard each day. She even updated us with pictures and videos in the morning and at night. We were very impressed.”


“Amy is really amazing! We’ve experienced horror stories with other pet sitters but you have nothing to worry about with Amy. We could tell she truly loved our pets and would send us pictures on a daily basis. She was on time and quick to reply to us. We will definitely be repeat customers. Highly recommend!”


“It had always been a challenge to have reliable and available sitters for Max until we discovered Rover. Louann is great and always keeps us up to date. Thanks again for a great experience, Louann!”


“Wendy was great with our pets and our home. She communicated well, took excellent care of them and provided thoughtful insights about them. We loved working with her and wouldnt hesitate to call on her again. She sent lots if pucs an updates, letting us fully enjoy our time away!”


“Sara did an amazing job! She gave me updates daily and sent pictures of my fur babies. Unfortunately one of them ended up with a stomach issue and she was so kind to clean all the messes and wash the linens. I would use Sara again!”


“Natalie was extremely dependable and awesome to work with. She gave us updates on the pups and treated our home with the utmost integrity and respect. We would definitely book her again in the future.”


“Kiera is a kind-hearted lady with a strong work ethic. Above and beyond with photos to keep me feeling connected to my fur babies and chickens while we were out of town. Her positive attitude and communication skills were very appreciated. I felt such peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend Kiera to care for your pets when you take your next trip.”


About: My husband says we can’t have anymore pets, so let me take care of yours ❤️ I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life (though I’ll admit, cats have had my heart a tiny bit longer and more often!) Whether your baby needs playtime, cuddles, walks, a trip to the park, or just keeping company while you are away, I treat every furry friend like they’re my own. I am available Monday-Sunday for overnight visits, or quick drop ins as needed. I am quick to respond back to messages and have a pretty open schedule so am available for last minute care! Please provide me with a list/schedule/routine for your pets and I will follow it! I know how important it is for pet parents to have updates when they are away from their babies, so I will happy send photos/videos during my visits so that you can see that your pet is happy and well cared for.

“April, did an awesome job! Took puppies for a walk, kept us posted throughout the day and took pictures ! I was totally confident in her ability to give our dogs the best care.”


“Brit was wonderful with Ruby for a short notice overnight stay! Lots of video, pics, walks and excellent communication. Brit knows how to interact with sensitive pups and it is obvious she connects with dogs on a special, unique level! Looking forward to havin her again. 💕”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, which has given me a deep understanding of how to care for pets with different needs and personalities. My family has always had dogs, and I currently work part-time at a doggy daycare, where I regularly handle a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. At home, I care for three dogs, two cats, and four bunnies. My background helps me adapt quickly to each animal's unique routine and behavior. So, whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’m confident in my ability to provide safe, compassionate, and reliable care. Pet care is already a central part of my routine. I currently work at a doggy daycare, which has given me valuable hands-on experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I’m also a college student, but my classes are limited to Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings for just a few hours, leaving my days and the rest of the week largely open. When I take on a client, I make their pets my priority. I’m flexible with my schedule and always willing to adjust or take time off from other commitments to ensure your pet receives my full attention and consistent care. I currently care for three Great Pyrenees, four bunnies, and two cats of my own. This range of experience has taught me how to adjust my care style to fit each animal’s unique needs. Whether I’m doing drop-ins, walks, or house sitting, I always aim to keep pets comfortable and routines consistent. I follow instructions carefully, make sure pets feel safe and relaxed in my presence, and treat your home with respect.

About: Spending quality time and caring for your pets like if they were my own. I have experience pet sitting all throughout my years in college and still continue to do so. I am working part-time and attending graduate school online. I have plenty of time to take care of your pets during my down time outside of work. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to use potty and run around. I do not allow pets to sleep on the bed with me, but on the couch is fine.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cockatiel, bearded dragon and cats. I also have taken care of service dog. We had a family of elderly dogs that required lot of attention and gave us more experience. I am available in the evenings and weekends. This allows me to provide the proper care and dedication to these loyal friends that depend on me. I do have a fenced yard and ceramic floors which in case of accident is easy to clean and provide a clean environment. My neighborhood is pet friendly

About: I have been working with animals since 2019 and love to be around them. I was a veterinary technician for 2 years. I have always loved working with animals. I am currently employed full-time as a veterinary receptionist and have over two years of experience in the veterinary field. I will be there immediately be there after work and before work. I will take care of them to the best of my ability. If anything is to happen I will immediately take your pet to the vet and let you know.

About: My close family has a total of 6 dogs that I’ve taken care of as well as taken on walks. Two of them are small dogs, two are medium sized, and the other two are large but not over 100 pounds.

I can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, or extended care based on your pet’s needs and your schedule. Whether it’s daily check-ins or longer visits, I’m committed to providing consistent, attentive care so your pets feel comfortable and loved. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

I’m attentive to their individual needs and body language, making sure they get plenty of affection and exercise while respecting their space and routine. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family, ensuring a calm and positive experience while you’re away.

About: I’ve always had dogs or cats and have also helped my family with fostering dogs for years when I was in high school and college. I also used to volunteer at the humane society and worked with all kinds of animals, but mainly dogs and cats. I work full time but I am always home on Friday and the entire weekend so that is when I will be available for booking. This will ensure I am home to care for your pets as my top priority so they are never alone. I can accommodate any sort of requirements or restrictions you want in place to ensure both your pets comfort as well as your piece of mind. Both your pets comfort and your peace of mind are paramount for my business.
