“Jacob did a good job with our boys and they definitely didn't make it easy on him. I was impressed with his patience in dealing with our excitable puppies. I will definitely book him again. ?”


“I can’t say enough good things about Julie! She was professional and took amazing care of my pups (and fish) while we were out of town. Before her overnight stay she even came to meet me and the pups and brought them treats. I have no doubt they were well taken care of and will absolutely use her devices again in the future!”


“Emily took great care of Creed while my husband & I got so very needed R & R. She kept me updated by sending pics & videos of him throughout the visit. Creed has special needs & takes meds every 4 hours & it is critical that they are on time. Emily made sure he got them on time & even messaged me when she gave them so I would know that he did. That helped my anxiety tremendously & allowed me to enjoy my time away because I knew he was being well taken care of.”


“Timothy was awesome with my sweet boy Dozer! He did everything as instructed including medication administration and followed his special diet. We will be booking with Timothy again in the near future. He even sent photos!”


About: Reliable and disciplined Skilled Pet Care Backed by Two Decades of common sense and love. No cats , Canines are my specialty. Have a great day. I amCurrently retired, I own an AKC registered American German Shepherd, and lovin him.Dogs are Man's best friend absolutely, one hundred twenty percent, thank you I do not accept dogs to sit at my residential properties, as I have other responsibilities and commitments. Be blessed, have a safe and day.

“Erin was amazing with Chance! He likes everybody but I could tell right away how much he loved her. She was so caring, and gave me constant updates and photos all weekend while I was away, which I so appreciated! She was available last minute, and was super responsive. I will definitely be booking with Erin again!!”


“Abigail did a fantastic job caring for and loving on our babies while we were gone. She sent multiple updates daily including pictures which made being away a little easier. She truly is a dog lover and was understanding of each of our pups and their needs. She made our babies feel right at ease and comfortable which was huge as our dogs can be very people selective. Our dogs are quite reactive to people and other dogs which made us anxious to leave them in the first place. Abigail was more than understanding and accommodating of the schedules we have in place to prevent tense situations in our neighborhood. Faith and I are so appreciative of her and would recommend her to anyone! Five stars is not enough! We will definitely be booking with her again for trips and weekly drop ins for our long work days!”


“Melissa was wonderful! She took great care of our little dog in our home. We met her the day before and felt so comfortable leaving her with our spoiled pup. She's very friendly and our little boy really seemed to love her. She sent pictures so we could see he was doing great. Thank you Melissa. We'll be calling on you again. ?❤”


“We loved Lena and so did our pup! Lena stayed in our home for almost a week and took great care of our dog while we were gone. She was great at communicating with us, giving me plenty of peace of mind since we don't leave our girl often. We returned to a home that probably looked better than we left it and a happy and at ease dog. Definitely recommend and would happily rebook!”


“Our pup was very happy being watched by Emma and we were happy to know she was in good hands and have frequent updates on how things were going. Thank you for taking such good care of her!”


About: A caring pet sitter with hands-on experience looking after dogs and cats. Familiar with feeding routines, short walks, basic grooming, and giving plenty of attention and play. Dependable, attentive to each animal’s comfort, and clear in communication with pet owners. I’m open 24/7 for all pet care needs. Whether you need early-morning walks, last-minute drop-ins, late-night check-ups, or extended boarding stays, I’m here any hour, any day. I keep my home tidy and hazard-free, stay close to supervise your pet at all times, and share fun photo updates so you always know they’re safe and happy.

“Desiree watched our two pups over the weekend at our house and we could not be happier. She was our first experience using Rover and she has set the bar high! Our meet and greet helped to calm my husband and I’s nerves. She is on top of communication with quick responses. Our dogs were loved and we could tell they had a great time with Desiree. Hoping we can have her watch them again in the near future.”


About: I've taken an active part in raising and caring for many different breeds and species of animals since I was young, both for my personal household and others. I have handled, fed, bathed, and trimmed the nails of young puppies up to 8 weeks old and helped to bottle nurse and raise kittens. I have cats in my household that I regularly take care of and experience handling, loving, and taking care of older dogs as well. I currently help raise puppies, so I'm available for drop-ins during the day and spending the night with pets. I can adjust my schedule to what's needed most of the time if given enough notice! I am very vigilant and eager to care for and play with any fur-babies, so I can keep a constant eye on them inside and outside of the house. I will also stay near them while they are out to make sure that no harm comes to them.

About: I’ve owned dogs for over 10 years now and take passion in caring for them especially seniors. As well as training them to my best abilities I ride and train horses for a living so it allows me to have some spare time through my days to be able to do what I want. I have friendly dogs but live on a farm so no fenced in areas. I would take great care of your pets in your home to whatever requirements you have for them!

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors pets in the past while they’ve been out of town. Taking care of pets is something that I enjoy doing. I currently work full time and am looking for extra work mostly on the weekends but occasionally weekdays. Weekends I’m available at all times and weekdays I’m available mostly in the evenings. Wherever I’m providing care for pets, I make sure that they are in safe environments. Cleanliness is very important. I follow directions that I receive from the owners of the pets that I’m watching and give their pets attention.

About: Growing up, we had a Chihuahua, a terrier and beagles. I now currently have 3 labs and 1 German Shepherd therefore I’ve been around and am good with dogs of all sizes. I’ve experienced the puppy stage and with my oldest dog reaching 11 years old currently I’m experiencing the senior stage. I work full-time, so a lot of my free time will be in the evenings and weekends. However, my schedule fluctuates and I have short days and days off. With having four dogs and six cats currently in my home I won’t be offering any in home services as of right now or overnight stays in your home. I will be offering leashed walks of all durations and drop ins for your home on weekends that I have available.

Paul Z.
“I have observed Paul many times walking his German Shepard. Paul's dog is very well behaved. It is obvious he loves animals. We have a dozen dogs in our neighborhood and they all love him. He has assisted people with training their dogs, he is taking care of a dog right now. He handles dogs with patience and kindness, and draws the best behavior out dogs he works through consistent commands and encouragement. He would be a very good Rover employee.”
