“Tenay was absolutely amazing! She is knowledgeable and a TRUE lover of animals! It was love at first sight for my baby. He completely forgot that I was in the room...and I loved it! She communicated well, was prompt and went above and beyond. I will definitely use her consistently and would recommend her to anyone.”


“This is our second booking with Michele, and once again, she exceeded our expectations! She is absolutely amazing with our cat Alfred, and is always super communicative and respectful. We will continue to book with Michele whenever we can!”


“Elizabeth did a wonderful job taking care of our dog for the week while we were out of town. She not only took care of our dog but also kept our home clean and tidy. She is very responsive and willing to help out with any request. Would definitely book her again.”


“Tyler was amazing! This was our first time leaving our 2 Pitt Bulls, who has to be kept separated. One highly aggressive and does not like strangers. Tyler had 9 days, a hurricane, a delayed flight, no electricity, and she kept the lines of communication open and the pictures coming. My babies were safe and happy. Both dogs fell in love with her. I will definitely use Tyler again!”


“Lena sends the best pics and updates and took great care of my pets while I was away!! I looked forward to her updates after each visit and it made me more comfortable leaving my pets knowing they’re in good hands 🖤🖤”


“Karli stayed at my house and took care of my dog while I was out of town, and she did an absolutely amazing job. She treated my home with respect and my dog with so much love and attention. I received regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind the entire time I was away. My dog was calm, happy, and clearly well-cared for when I got back—which is all I can ask for! I will definitely book her again. Highly, highly recommend!”


“Chelsy was very communicative, was able to accommodate a extra night last minute and I had no worries while I was gone. I have 3 dogs, ages 7-14, with varying health issues and meds, Chelsy took care that all my instructions were followed. She had a extra challenge with it being NYE and one of my boys being terrified of loud noises (fireworks, storms, etc). Highly recommend and will use again!!!”


“Carson was extremely caring and communicative while taking care of my pup last minute. I appreciated the photos and updates and checking in about any doubts, and I know my baby had a blast! Would definitely book again :)”


About: I have had any kind of animal you can think of ever since I was a kid. I love all animals even the creepy crawlers and animals tend to love me! I have house sat for multiple neighbors and friends with dogs and cats! My daily routine consists of me taking care of animals, the commitment to our furry friends is one I completely understand and find joy in so if you cant be there I can! I have a yard at my home and take my dogs on daily walks and would do the same for your pup! I have also worked with crated dogs and reactive dogs as well! I will follow whatever guidelines and norms you and your dog are used too! Whatever is best for them!

“Chloé was wonderful! Hands down the best Rover experience we have ever had. She was communicative and sent us plenty of updates. Our cats and dogs were well cared for, and we had peace of mind. We will absolutely be using Chloé in the future!”

“5+ stars. Alyssa recently stayed with our very nervous and energetic pitbull mix while we were on a long vacation. She stayed in our home. She was extremely considerate of our things and assisted with getting the mail, etc while taking excellent care of our girl. Her communication was great and she sent frequent pictures and updates. I felt very comfortable and reassured that my dog was being loved and cared for well. I look forward to using her again; could not recommend enough!”


“Everything we do is last minute, so last minute changes were made to add an earlier departure date at the last minute. Keona was available and flexible to watch our two for 8 days. She did a meet and greet before we left and you can tell she is a dog lover. Will definitely use her services again.”


“Lindsey was awesome!! I hired her to take care of my 5 week old kittens + one adult cat for the weekend, and I’m so glad I did! She was punctual on their feeding times, administered oral meds, and was very communicative when I reached out — and even when I didn’t. Definitely recommend!”


About: I’ve picked up many animals on the side of the road, including raccoons who just need a little bit of love! I am very an understanding of Dogs’ and Cats’ based on body language!!! I currently work part time at a restaurant and am a full time student, but stopping by twice a day for a feeding and walk wouldn’t be a problem! I would prefer to cat-sit due to cats being on a different schedule than dogs. I can still make time to play with the cat pending on the personality. I am open to take off of work to walk your dogs and give them the stimulation needed! I live in the middle of nowhere, so my pets are free range. My two dogs play with each other all day, my cats also enjoy catching the mice and moles! When I go to a coworkers house to pet sit, I follow their instructions of how much to feed them and how often as well as walking times!! It just depends on the pet, personality and owner’s location!!

“Lama is exceptional. I have used multiple sitters for my dogs in the past, and she has been the best by far. Her daily photo updates were comforting and the photos themselves were amazing! I can tell my dogs were happy and well taken care of. I recommend her without hesitation and sincerely hope to have her back next time we need housesitting”


“Emily was great. Last minute change and she was able to fit us in. Cats loved her and she played with both while she was there. Sent plenty of updates. Will use her again in the future.”
