“Chloe is amazing! My super shy cat warmed up to her and was waiting for her at the door by the end of her visit. I would recommend her 10/10 to anyone. She provided peace of mind and was thorough with her photos and communication. Thank you Chloe!!”


“Joseph did an excellent job watching our dogs, Chloe& Brutus!!! He has a lot of compassion for dogs and we know they were in good hands!!! He regularly posted updates on our dogs daily! We highly recommend Joseph to any and everybody!!! Job well done!!! 🤩🙌🐶”


“Anne did a great job. Always on time every day. Did what she can to clean up litters ,refill foods, play with cat and stayed as long as requested. A great cat care giver!”


“We can not say enough how much we appreciate Joseph. He was able to get our anxious dog to fully accept him as a friend when 99.9% of people can’t touch her. She was giving him paw and was super excited to see him! The other amazing part is one of our cats came out to see him and let Joseph pet her! No one believes we have this cat since she hides from EVERYONE! Joseph is extremely reliable and wonderful with all our pets. People would be crazy not to hire him to take care of their pets.”


“Alexa was great! She was incredibly responsive and took good care of our two kitties while we were away. She kept us updated throughout, and we could tell she genuinely cared about our cats. We would absolutely book her again!”



“I struggled with how to care for my two cats, a senior & a junior, while I went on vacation. Violet, my eldest cat, had just been diagnosed with kidney/bladder issues and required a stringent schedule of medication. I was completely put at ease after my meet & greet Kaitlynn. Her attitude & attention to detail were both professional & comforting. The daily updates were insightful & showed her familiarity with my "kids" and their needs. Our first experience with Rover has been a pleasure. Just knowing that there are dedicated sitters like Kaitlynn available at a time of need is a true relief.”


“Lisbeth is a great person with an awesome heart! She takes such good care of our pup. She’s great at communication and she looks out for our pups well being. Nothing but great things to say about Lisbeth. Thank you Lisbeth!!!”


“Danielle was so thorough and helpful in taking care of our girls! She is so friendly and made sure to capture every detail about our girls routine and personalities. She was so attentive to our dogs and it really put us at ease while we were away for a long weekend.”


“Christine has been such a blessing for us. We recently brought into our home a wonderful shelter dog who needed a lot of love and attention, and was initially suffering from severe separation anxiety whenever someone would leave the room. It has also been more than 15 years since we've had a dog and needless to say we were rusty. From day 1 of the meet and greet with Christine, our dog Dot immediately felt comfortable around her, our kids listened intently to her suggestions, explanations and stories of her own going through similar experiences. She's provided consistent advice and support (outside the formal drop-in/walking sessions we pay for). She has her own dogs and fosters dogs as well... and it's clear she does not do this for the money, but purely for her love of dogs. She posts updates during every visit, sends pics, cleans up if there's been an accident, and provides ideas/suggestions when she can. I highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve had a dog all my life, have pet sit for many dogs, cats, and even a rabbit! I love animals and have knowledge about all sorts of pets. I am a student at Butler University and have just a couple classes with a lot of extra time each week. At home I have a dog and my sorority house also has a dog. Making sure pets are comfortable and safe is my number 1 priority. I even did my Girl Scout Gold Award project about keeping dogs from getting scared and running away and how to find them if it happens.

“Excellent service. This was my first time using Rover and I'm very pleased with Emma's communication and perseverance getting Rocco outside”


“Kerri was very proactive and a great communicator. Our cats loved her and she was a pleasure to work with!”

I am available for house sitting, home visits, or walking your pet any day of the week! I am familiar with exercising and entertaining pets, or practicing any training you may request.

“Leigh is amazing! She took excellent care of our two fur babies. Right off the bat on the first meet and greet, we got an excellent first impression. She was friendly and brought them homemade amazing treats! When our trip came, she was in constant contact with us and sent so many wonderful pictures. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip with the knowledge that our pups were safe and cared for. Leigh is a rockstar.”


“Kathy was everything I was looking in a pet sitter. She was responsive, reliable, and loved on my dog while I was away.”

“Ollie is trully dog's (and cat's) best friend! She has such a great love for all animals - and they are drawn to her (even those who take some time to warm up to people). I know that in HS both her Silver and Gold Girl Scout awards were centered around animals as her hope was to help both animals and their owners (horse rescue and preventing lost dogs). She has been a trusted pet sitter throughout our neighborhood. Always spending quality time with the pets and keeping their families updated with pics and status.
