Hannah was great with my cat, dropping in mornings and evening and took the time to play with her after feeding her. I really appreciated it!

Anna was great with my pup! She had never been cared for by anyone and was very afraid. Anna was very patient with her and made her feel comfortable. Would definitely book her again!!

Keerie was a dream! She was prompt and very understanding about my dog’s health conditions. Was able to keep me updated and sent plenty of pics to keep my mind at ease while I was out of town. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog the same way you would, book this gal!

5 Stars , Absolutely phenomenal pet sitter! We’ll definitely be booking her again if possible! Amber will treat your animals with love and help take the stress off from you AND your pet. We had Amber do two drop-in visits per day for 2 days, and she was outstanding in every way. From the very beginning, she was quick with responses, incredibly flexible, accommodating a last minute booking and even adjusting the schedule by several hours on the first day when our departure got delayed with her schedule and flexibility luckily coming through again for us. She made the whole process stress free. She was wonderful with our dog Hazel. The updates she sent through the Rover app were some of the best and reassuring. She included exactly when Hazel went on bathroom breaks during walks, how much she ate and drank, and how she was doing overall. When we got home, Hazel was so comfortable and happy that she was sprawled upside down on the bed in the bedroom and didn’t even hear me calling her loudly from the other room, that’s how relaxed and well cared for she was! Amber took Hazel on multiple walks each visit, made sure she was fed and watered, and clearly gave her lots of love and attention. We felt completely at ease leaving our girl in her care and trusted her 100%. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter. Thank you so much, we can’t wait to book with her again in the future!

I really appreciated Matt's care during our trip! We have two nervous cats, and while one was still elusive he was able pet the other one after a few days! It shows he was gentle enough to build trust. He also did a great job communicating what was happening throughout the week.

About: I have owned cats my entire life, and I have been raising my own for the past 7 years. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I am a student and working part-time this summer, so I will have a lot of availability and can be available on short notice if needed. I have a calm energy and can read your pets body language very well. Perfect for if your furry friend is more on the anxious side! I will bring patience and understanding to any type of personality.

About: 🐶I’ve taken care of our Family Rottweiler, Mini Schanuzer and Elderly Shitzu mix. I’ve also had my Chihuahua since I was a teenager. With that being said, I am very experienced with dogs of any size from pup to senior 🐕‍🦺. I work from home which makes it easier to spend time with the pups as well as keep a close eye on them. This is extremely convenient if your fur baby has separation anxiety! I have a fenced in yard and two Fur babies to keep your Pup company during their stay! I’ve also got a large crate if needed.

About: I have owned and cared for both dogs and cats throughout my life for extended periods of time. I provide them plenty of loving attention and do all the related chores necessary when caring for them. I am a stay-at-home parent of three cats. However, I am able to leave whenever needed to provide care to other animals, as the other owner of our cats will often be home to continue their care. I care for pets by making sure they eat their tasty meals and treats, keeping them company with playtime and plenty of pets, cleaning up after them on a daily basis, providing them exercise, and anything necessary.

About: I've been a dog and cat owner my entire life and have a deep love for animals of all kinds. I'm especially passionate about rescue animals and understand that pets are much more than pets, they're family. I currently have both a dog and a cat, so I'm experienced with different personalities, needs, and routines. I also have experience with pets with medical needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply having a calm companion around, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. You can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member will receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'm committed to providing a reliable, loving experience for both you and your animal. I work in education and I am off for the summer which allows me plenty of time to help care for your fur babies! I have a lot of flexibility to be able to offer drop- in visits and walking services. I currently only offer drop- in visits and walking, which will allow your pet to receive care in the comfort of familiar places! Their comfort is of the utmost importance to me!

I was very nervous to use the Rover app for the first time but a had a wonderful experience with this. My dog has diabetes and needs a pee break every three hours. An unexpected situation came up and I decided to try this service. He was wonderful and even sent me pictures to insure me that Noah was fine on his visit. Will definitely use again!

Dee is absolutely fantastic! I am so grateful for her intuitive, empathetic care for our two cats. We’re not used to going away so I had more concerns with how the cats would handle it. When we returned the cats greeted us at the door like normal! Getting daily photos helped make being away easier. Dee is a great thoughtful communicator. I am so grateful she offers her expertise to care for all our lovable critters.

We have been looking for the perfect person to sit with Kato. And we found her. Zoey was so good with him. He went to her as soon as he saw her. Very rare for him. He has anxieties. We have been looking since we retired to be able to travel more. Shame it is only a 5 star rating.

We cannot thank Gabrielle enough for the incredible care she provided for our senior dog, Rocco. Taking care of a dog with mobility issues and a wheelchair is no small task, but Gabrielle handled it with such grace and compassion. From the moment she met him, her positive attitude, warm demeanor, and generosity were on full display. She was remarkably flexible with our schedule and treated Rocco as if he were her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was with someone so patient and kind. We thank her from the bottom of our hearts for her exceptional care and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly cares about animals.

Ava did a great job watching my dog while I was gone away on a track meet! This was my first time having someone watch him and I was nervous because I didn’t know how he would act being that he’s a shelter dog with bad separation anxiety. 10/10!

Abby is kind, friendly and a great communicator. She watched our two cats over the holidays, and our cats loved her! Our finicky cat who normally hides from strangers for days was sitting in Abby’s lap within the first two days of our trip. She kept our place clean, and let us know if anything was wrong, or had any questions. We will absolutely book Abby again when we go out of town.
