1. Cassidy H.
“My previous Rover pet pet ad on moved so I was happy and lucky to find Cassidy. I contacted her last minute and we’re unable to meet in person, but we’re able to video chat which put me at ease. Cassidy was great with my cat Lucy and sent lots of pictures. Will definitely be using Cassidy in the future.”

7. Maggie E.
“If you're looking for someone to responsibly and passionately take care of your pup, or full-grown senior four-legged friend, Maggie is perfect! She's watched our dog on long overnights, and has taken him on many wonderful walks over the past few years. As a dog owner herself, she knows what needs to be done to provide the proper care and compassion for your pet. We'd trust her with our dog - anytime!”
8. Eric & Christine A.
“Our first time using Rover and we can’t say enough good things about Eric & Christine. They took such good care of our puppy! We are new to the area and we were hesitant to try Rover but Eric & Christine quickly eased our fears with consistent updates & photos. We certainly appreciate all the love & care they provided our young pup! Thanks again!”

11. Morgan S.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life whether in my home or at friends or families! I can’t imagine my life without them. I have 2 boxers at home-ages 1 & 5. I am available all throughout the week. I do have classes during the day, but long enough breaks in between some. I have no classes on Friday’s, so I have plenty availability then. After December 14th, I am free due to winter break! I have my own sturdy leash for walks or bathroom breaks throughout the day & I have a vehicle to get around and take pup for rides!
12. Haley D.
About: I have owned all sorts of dogs, big and small, so I know the specific needs for nearly every breed. I am an energetic person so I love to walk/run with dogs, but I also enjoy cuddling up and just giving them loving! At this time, there are no animals of my own in the house. I really hope to find clients that would like recurring stays/visits so I can make more furry friends and figure out the best care for that specific dog. Also, I'm an avid runner, so high energy dogs are very welcome! I work at the hospital nearly every day, but I am able to give your pet my full attention during the weekends. Dogs that are routinely left home during the weekday are welcome during the week, as I am not able to come home and let them out during the day. I am typically gone for about 10 hours a day. We live on a 10 acre farm with tons of room to run and explore (on leash)! We have outdoor farm animals but they tend to mind their own business and don’t bother visitors! Your pet will be treated like my own while in my care, plus some extra treats! ;)
13. Sarah B.
“Sarah was prompt and my dog immediately took to her. They went for a nice long walk and he was happy and tired at the end! I will definitely use her again to entertain my pup.”
14. Hillary H.
“Hillary took care of our two cats for 10 days and we have no criticism about her work, even though she was faced with the daunting task of corralling both our girls to administer oral medication every day. She was responsive, professional, pleasant and reliable. I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again.”
15. Emily T.
“Emily came over in advance to meet animals, communicated well, asked appropriate questions. Followed plan as discussed.. Dependable, accountable, and sent daily updates. 5 star and I will use again”
16. Amber T.
About: I've always loved animals, I work at a doggy daycare and volunteer at the humane society. I will also be sitting for my soon to be past highschool teacher. Sitting: with college and work I pretty much can dog sit everyday Dog walking: I can do every day between work and college Grooming: I'd prefer doing that on a weekend I have two dogs and two cats at home. I also work at a doggy daycare and know how to handle dogs and cats. Thank you.
17. Shannon P.
“Shannon does excellent work and I recommend her anytime someone talks about their dogs! We were having issues after introducing a new dog into our home. She quickly surmised what the problem was and worked with us on a solution. Shannon did a heck of a job training us and our dogs. She has also become our go to dog sitter which leads to much less stress when we go on vacation!”
18. Risandi B.
About: I have experience with young and old dogs, as well as old and young cats. I have been taking care of pets since I was 10, and I can administer medication to both cats and dogs! I work during the week, but I am free in the evening and early morning. I can do most weekends as well, but when I go back to school I will have less availability on the weekends. I will do my best to follow considerations provided by the owner, like keeping a dog away from other dogs, etc. I will diligently follow instructions and ask questions if clarification is needed as well, to give the best care.
19. Amanda L.
“Amanda is a dog and cat lover, and is a very responsible caregiver and pet owner. She is very organized and trustworthy. As her veterinarian, I know that she is always very attentive to pets and responsive to any medical issues that arise. All pets under her care will be in good hands, and are sure to get plenty of love!”
20. Larissa J.
“There isn't anyone I trust more to take care of my dog than Larissa. She is compassionate, responsible, and trustworthy. For me, all I want for my dog is to be happy and with Larissa your dog will definitely have the best time. Trust me when I say that your dog will be in great hands with Larissa!”
