“Mary was very attentive and excellent with my Cats. She went out of her way to spend more time with them and even bought them a toy to play with. She kept in constant communication and sent many photos. I would not hesitate to use Mary again with my cats or my dog in the future.”
“Rebekah did an amazing job with our cats, we're so glad we found her! She connected with them so fast, it was impressive, specially with my shy cat, she won them both over and manage to gain their trust since day one, even our shy cat came out of his hiding spot to get treats which is sooooo rare with new people, the updates were amazing, she left everything so nice and clean, she took such good care of my babies, makes being away way easier. We appreciate you Rebekah! Will definitely recommend.”
“Renae was outstanding. This was our first experience with Rover and it couldn't have went better. She was always on time and offered to do other things in the house. She sent us pictures and updates about the dog. The most important thing is that she was wonderful with our dog. You can not go wrong with hiring Renae to watch your pups. She is first class. A+”
“Amber was a wonderful sitter. She was prompt and very attentive to Taylor’s needs. She is very trustworthy and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an in-home pet sitter. Thank you Amber!”
About: Growing up surrounded by a variety of animals—from reptiles and birds to cats, and dogs—I’ve developed a deep understanding of pet care. Over the years, family and friends have relied on me to look after their pets, trusting my attentive and compassionate nature. With my own dog, I’ve completed puppy and advanced obedience classes, explored agility training, and even participated in AKC FastCAT trials. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s part of who I am. My schedule is highly flexible, so I’m available when you and your pet need care most. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a midday walk, or a cozy stay while you’re away, I’m here to make pet parenting easier and stress-free. I have two children (ages 7 and 1½) who are gentle, curious, and adore spending time with pets. Alongside them is our friendly 4-year-old Dalmatian, who is crate-trained and well-socialized. We live on a spacious property with an invisible fence, but I understand not all pets are familiar with that setup—so your dog will always be walked on a leash for safety and comfort. I also have room for an additional crate to provide a secure space for your pet if I need to step out, ensuring their well-being at all times. Your furry family member will be treated with the same care and attentiveness I give my own.
“Kaleigh really stepped up when the previous sitter canceled without even so much as a message. She obviously has a history of working with dogs. She was informative and easy to contact. I would definitely recommend and will keep her at the top of my list next time I need a sitter.”
About: I’m Alyssa, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to Stella, our loyal German Shepherd, and Beau, a crazy Australian Shepherd mix my husband and I raised and trained from puppies. I’ve been around dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities—from bouncy puppies to gentle seniors—and I truly love getting to know each dog’s unique quirks. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pups. I take things slow, follow their cues, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable before anything else. At home, I have two toddlers, so I’m very mindful about safety, reading dog body language, and keeping a calm, consistent routine. When your dog is with me, they’ll get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and cuddles—just like family of my own. I am currently unemployed, so I have plenty of time to help you with your animals! I will use my time around dropping off and picking up my kids from daycare to visit your home to care for your animals. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication needs, or special playtime routines—so your pet feels safe and secure while you’re away.
“Ashley was wonderful she followed directions to a T. I was happy and so we're my pups when I returned. This was the first time in years that my mother was able to take a vacation with us, after seeing her moody but loving pooch was in high spirits when returning we will be using Ashley from now on. I 100% recommend her for anyone who is apprehensive about leaving your fur baby in the hands of another.”

I want to take the time and put in the effort to treat each animal and owner like they are apart of my family.

About: While I haven’t owned a dog myself, I’ve been around them my entire life and have dog-sat for friends and family multiple times. I’m most comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs, especially those who are friendly and well-behaved. I’m calm, patient, and good at picking up on animals’ body language, which helps build trust quickly. I’m happy to take dogs for walks, feed them, play, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always follow your care instructions closely.

I’m responsible with time management and can adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or check-ins. Pet care fits well into my week, and I truly enjoy making it part of my day. I respect every client’s home and follow all instructions carefully to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I make sure doors are secure, walk pets on safe routes, and always double-check things like water, food, and medications. I also take time to make your pet feel calm and cared for, especially when they’re adjusting to your absence.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have real hands-on experience as a dog mom. I adopted my Blue Heeler when I was 19 and raised her from four months old—she’s now thriving at six alongside her younger sister, a Great Dane who just turned two. I’ve also worked running dogs a few times a week last year, giving me even more experience with different breeds and energy levels. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available on weekends for boarding, and on weekdays after 2 PM for walks, drop-ins, and more. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break or some extended playtime, I’ve got the time and energy to make sure they’re happy and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who love making new friends. If needed, I can easily crate your dog for downtime or safety, and I’m always happy to follow your routine and preferences. I treat every pet like family and strive to create a calm, happy space while you’re away.

Aurora A.
“If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, look no further than Aurora A. I’ve known Aurora for years, and her love for animals is truly unmatched. Whether it’s a rambunctious puppy or a shy senior cat, Aurora has a natural ability to connect with animals and make them feel safe, loved, and understood. She’s the kind of person who remembers every pet’s quirks, like which toy they won’t go anywhere without or how they like their belly rubs just so. Aurora is incredibly responsible, punctual, and attentive, and she always goes the extra mile to make sure pets are happy and comfortable. I’ve seen her walk dogs in pouring rain with a smile on her face and spend hours playing with pets just to make their day brighter. Pet parents can rest easy knowing their furry family members are in Aurora’s care. She’s not just a sitter or walker, she’s a true companion to every animal she meets.”

“Rebecca is a very responsible, caring and respectful person. She loves animals and cares for them like her own. She has always been in the animal field. I would let Rebecca care for my animals without hesitation. She loves all animals large or small. One day some cows got loose in her neighborhood and they came into her yard and she stopped everything and got them back to their owner, down the road. This is just one small example of her kindness.”

Brittany and Luka seemed to have had a great first visit. Puppy tennis balls were mentioned which is always a sign LUKA had a good time anyway! From Brittany's Rover Card comments she seems to have gotten a solid view of Luka's personality and that although his bark is ferocious-sounding, he's really a spoiled cuddle monster.
