“I just moved to the state and was nervous about finding a new pet sitter. Hannah had so many great reviews and they are well deserved! She was very responsive to messages during initial coordination and throughout the visits. Thank you for taking care of my gang for a few days!”
2. Kelly M.
“Kelly did such a good job that the cats took a while to decide we were OK when we got back! She is an exceptional cat sitter. Mike and Sally”
3. Ashley D.
“Ashley always does such a great job and I love that I can trust her 100% with my dogs!!. I don’t like that this app won’t let me tip her more than 30% of the price of the visit because I would give her way more she’s that awesome!”
4. Doug C.
“Doug did a nice job. Alden can be shy and it can take awhile before he warms up to other people. Sent pictures and report card. No issues!”
5. Kelsey T.
“Kelsey's love of animals started early in life and in 2009 when she worked at a veterinarian clinic her love for all animals only grew. She has cared for an array of aquatic animals, three very special cats, and two high energy dogs, just in her own home. She cares and plays for them as any loving mother would and treasures learning more about their unique personalities. I know any animal would be in loving hands at her home.”
6. Emily F.
“Emily took amazing care of our darling, and needy ;) cat Nikka. She went above and beyond to make sure Nikka had the necessities each day and that included serious and extended cuddles. This was our first time using Rover and I’m so glad that Emily took such great care of our girl. We highly recommend.”

About: We offer walks recreation a treated yard as well as air conditioned blocked off room in back of house when needed . I have some vet experiences with family . my own dogs love to run and play so no worries if your pet likes to play rough or tug o war . also I have birthed 4 litters of puppies and can watch and take care of pregnancies as well .also we have security cameras. We also understand that many dogs and puppies have special needs specific diets our home is not a place of stress . we understand that it can be a stressful situation leaving a family member with a person not well known . I am guilty of being afraid of even letting someone watch my own for even a few minutes. We hope to make these anxieties less promenant in pet owners daily activities. At all times we have someone on site to monitor our pets activities, and attention. By having added security to my home with cameras and comforts for each pet we have created an ideal spot throughout our home. Our environment is easily controlled by our floor plan allowing for ample space for lounging but in a secured environment. Improvements are also on the way as we are adapting our home to better suit each pets needs.
8. Jordyn B.
About: I got a puppy for my son back my May of this year (2023) and we have had so much fun with her! Rather than getting our puppy a puppy to play with we thought we would try out dog sitting as a way to get some more fun furry friends in the house! We take our golden doodle on a walk every day for about 20-30 minutes. She has free access to the backyard whenever she wants through the doggy door. My 5 year old plays with her both inside and outside depending on the weather. Charlee goes to the groomers about every 8 weeks for her spa day. I will treat your fur baby just as I treat mine! All the snuggles, play, and love they deserve! My son will also provide more than enough to wear them out I promise that haha
9. Nathalia F.
“Nathalia visited Ziggy for his first ever drop-in without me home since I got him earlier this year. He loved his time with her, and she took plenty of photos. I also had some significant instructions for her first time here without me, so she was good with being communicative and asking questions where necessary.”

18. Brent D.
About: I've cared for my pets and those of my friends for years, and I've learned that the most important thing is always to meet our furry friends on their terms. Some pets become your friend instantly, others take some time but eventually warm up, and some remain aloof. No matter what your pet(s) are like, I provide the absolute best care I can while working with their individual personalities. I've cared for single and multiple dogs and cats and mixes of both, of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I'm experienced with feeding, walking, playing, medicating, and even a bit of canine obedience and agility training! I'm a responsible, reliable adult who will follow YOUR instructions when caring for your furry family members. I'm a self-employed retiree with a flexible schedule, and am available most days, nights, weekends, and holidays for either drop-in visits or overnight stays on a short or long-term basis. Our pets are happiest when their regular routines are kept as uninterrupted as possible. I follow the rules and schedules you set, including feeding schedules, walks,activities, play time, medications, bed times, etc. to make sure they are as happy and stress-free as possible.
19. Michelle H.
“Michelle was easy to reach and responded quickky. She communicated with us on if she was going to need to adjust her time she did her check in.”
20. Claire F.
About: I work in a vet clinic where animals are borders as a kennel tech and I make sure they are as comfortable as possible away from home. My working hours at my job are the same every day and it’s a two hour shift in the PM so my days are open other than that. I am comfortable walking a dog around your yard if they need to in order to do their business or sit out in a yard depending on your requests. I don’t have many things I would be uncomfortable if requested.
