“We are new to the area so did not know anyone to ask for dog care, so I found Elliot totally organically via Rover and am glad I did. Elliot was awesome. We had him house/dog sit for us for close to a week and he was great. Very responsive and understanding when the dates of our trip got moved around. Also he was able to swing by and let the dogs out again when our flights got delayed. The dogs were happy and healthy when we got home and seem like they loved him. We will be asking (hoping) Elliot can dog sit for us again in the future.”



“My dog, Cassie, can be very wary of strangers and Tasha handled it like a pro! She sent lots of pictures, let me know what was going on with the fur babes, and left the place just as neat as it was left to her. Definitely would recommend!”


About: I grew up surrounded by dogs—including chihuahuas, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and currently a high-energy golden retriever and a 14-year-old senior chihuahua. I understand the unique needs of puppies, active breeds, and senior pets. I follow care routines to the letter and truly enjoy connecting with each animal’s personality. Whether it’s energetic play or gentle companionship, I provide thoughtful, consistent, and loving care. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I am a part time student and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, feedings, medications, and quality time throughout the day and evening. I treat every home and pet with respect. I follow detailed instructions and prioritize cleanliness, comfort, and routine. I ensure pets have a safe, familiar environment—whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, using harnesses properly on walks, or keeping medications on track. Communication is key, and I always provide timely updates to pet parents.

“If Rick is available to care for your dog, book him! He is an actual dog trainer and my very fussy dog loved her time with him. Rick is very gracious and sent me doggie pics every single day. Knowing that she was in such good hands, greatly enhanced my time away. He's terrific!”


“Paul took great care of my dog and put my mind at ease while I was away from my pup! He gave thorough updates with pictures and was always thinking one-step ahead of me (trial walk, key drop off, etc.). When my pup got sick Paul communicated what was going on well and made the same judgement calls I would, which showed me he was truly looking out for my dog like she was his own. I will be re-booking with Paul in the future and recommend him for your petsitting needs!”


“Lexi is one of the best sitters out there! You can tell she is passionate for animals and treats them as her own. She was so great at communicating with us and is very responsive. We received a video update on our pups as well. The house was left in the same shape we left it in. Very kind, sweet, and caring girl!”


“Bridget did a wonderful job with both our cat and dog. She went above and beyond with regards to sending photos, keeping us up to date on everything, and making sure our pets were happy. It was visible in the photos how comfy and content our pets were with her. She even did arts and crafts with them and took Letti to get ice cream. On top of all this, Bridget was watching our pets at a point where the cat and dog were getting used to living with one another, and she did a wonderful job giving them supervised interactions and continuing our socialization for both of them while we were gone. Can’t recommend her enough!”


“Stacey was amazing and went above and beyond for me and my pets. She mentioned she has 3 large dogs and her experience really showed. At one point I ran out of dog food and she offered to go pick some up. She also watched over my guinea pig and took great care of him, since she has rabbits of her own. I will definitely be booking her again and again!”


“Kyla took such great care of our dog while we were away! Our dog wasn't feeling very good so Kyla stayed home with her the entire time, administered her medication, and communicated with me often. It really gave me peace of mind while on my trip.”


“Allison did an incredible job watching our two dogs and a cat for the week! Leading up to the stay sure was communicative and responsive. Our girls really like her and from the photos she sent looked very happy and well cared for. She was consistent sending daily updates and pics. She was reliable, leaving for the times she said she would be. She took our pups out most days to play and on rainy days made sure they had indoor play and puzzles games. We were very happy with Allison and hope to use her again! We felt confident that our girls were safe and happy while we were gone. Our house was left just as it was when we left.”


About: I have been house sitting and taking care of pets throughout high school and college. I have two cats of my own. I treat any pet as if it is my own when watching them! I am free a lot of the time and can work around many different schedules. I am easy to work with and am very flexible! I play with my own cats every chance I get and make sure they have everything they could need or want. I do this with the pets I watch as well because that’s how I would want my cats taken care of!

“Ann was fabulous with our elderly min pin and kitty. They both have meds and a schedule that works well and Ann was able to master that for the time she cared for our two furry kids. She spent a couple of nights and days and both pets were calm and fine when we returned. I would have Ann sit for our kiddos again!”


“We booked Austin and Katie for a weekend for our 2 cats and 2 dogs. They arrived in the early morning to feed and potty our pets, and stopped by late at night to do the same. It was comforting knowing our animals weren’t left alone for too long. The visits were frequent and an appropriate duration, and the dogs genuinely were excited to see Katie when she arrived. She actually stopped by before the weekend to meet the animals and go through their routines with us. Her energy was good and calming, and we felt very comfortable leaving our babies with her. She texted pics and updated throughout the weekend, which was so appreciated!!! Will book again!!!”


About: I did an internship at medical mutts where I trained service dogs and helped take care of them. I’ve watched friends dogs. I train dogs too! I’m not really doing anything, so I’m available pretty much whenever, I am totally flexible. I can do long term or short term schedules. I want your dog to be safe! I’m unfortunately not able to do boarding at my house, but I can take your dog out to see my little brothers or my grandma because she loves dogs, I can take your dog to the park and I can even train your dog!
