She was great with our kitty's. It was our first time using a pet sitter and we are more than happy with her. We got daily updates about our kitty's (and photos of them). She did a great job and would definitely book her again.

Megan is wonderful! You can tell she loves what she does and my dog so enjoys spending time with her. It makes being away from my fur baby much easier.

Best sitter we've had from Rover so far. (We have talked to several sitters, we liked and were highly qualified). Scott was above and beyond. He had Gremlin be a lap kitty (which he isn't usually, unless he'sstressed) and gave him extra love. It was Gremlin's first time w/o his people since he lost his housemate Dany. Will definitely be our first go to from now on.

Ashleigh was great! She sent pictures and updates, and patiently put up with my unneeded chitchat. :-) I've already scheduled her for out next trip. The Rover app is so easy to use, and very well thought out.

About: I worked in a veterinary hospital, I was a kennel assistant. I also helped the doctors and techs whenever they needed the help. Some of the responsibilities I have are that I fed dogs and cats. I gave animals medication if needed. I cleaned the kennels. I bathed dogs. I always took them outside through out the day, played with them all outside and inside of the vet. I took care of animals who were on IV catheters. I have taken care of animals with special needs, and who were very sick. I love being with animals, taking them on long walks and getting their exercise in. I have 7 cats of my own that are truly amazing. Whatever you need me to do I can do, if they need any type medication I can give them it. I can give insulin if needed. I’m a stay at home mom to a one year old daughter, so I definitely have the extra time to help out with your pets! If you have your animal on a schedule for feeding I will greatly follow that schedule! I do have 7 cats of my own so feeding schedules are definitely a thing in my home!

About: I’ve owned dogs ever since I was 8, and I’ve always loved and cared for them with no question. I love to feed, walk, bathe, and just hangout with dogs. Can’t wait to meet all of your pups!!! I’m currently a full time online college student that sets her own schedule! I am pretty open and free all day to hangout with pups! I have a large fenced yard and I always bring running shoes because I know some dogs love to play! And some even love to try and make escapes, which is why I’ll always have treats and commands ready!

About: Hey Pet Owners! I'm Vivian! I’m a dedicated veterinary student who’s crazy about animals and loves turning pet care into a happy, stress-free experience. From playful pups to snuggly cats (and even the quirky small pets), I bring a mix of professional experience and genuine love to every visit. I can provide walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, and even medication if needed — all while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and totally spoiled. With my vet training, I’m quick to notice anything out of the ordinary, and with my animal-obsessed heart, I’m all about belly rubs, chin scratches, and tail wags. I have also taken care of many pets in the past as well as even bigger farm animals so I am your gal! Whether you’re away for a day or a week, you can relax knowing your furry (or feathered!) friend is in caring, capable hands. Let’s make your pet’s day as fun as possible! It would be part of my day to day routine before going to work or dropping by on my weekends! Either way will make it work with the owners schedule to make it happen! I provide services where I would care for your pet with the utmost responsibility in your home making sure your pet and your property is safely secure and well kept!

About: I have over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience working with a wide range of breeds, including high-energy and working line dogs. I currently own a German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois, and Husky. I’m an active hiker and runner, and love giving dogs both mental and physical enrichment. Whether your pup needs structured exercise, calm companionship, or just a fun adventure, I provide a safe, positive, and reliable environment. Your dog will be treated like family and cared for with experience and genuine love. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for pet care. Whether your dog needs walks, hikes, runs, training sessions, house sitting, or boarding I’m happy to help. Weekends are when I have the most time and energy to give your pet my full attention, care, and activity. During the week depending on times requested! Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I can care for your pup either in your home or at mine. I have three well-trained dogs who are friendly and social—your dog is welcome to play with them if that’s something you’re comfortable with. If you prefer a quieter or individual environment, I can also crate and rotate dogs to ensure your pup has safe, stress-free time and space. I live just five minutes from a local park, which is perfect for walks, exercise, and outdoor enrichment. Whether it’s playtime, relaxed company, or structured activity, I’ll make sure your dog feels secure, stimulated, and cared for like family.

About: Hello there, fellow pet parents! I’m Taylor and I can’t wait to meet your furry, feathery, and scaly companions! I have spent as much of my life as I can remember caring for and being around all types of animals. Honestly being around animals just makes me the happiest I could be. I have 5 rescue animals of my own! 2 dogs, 2 Cats, and a bird! All of which I rescued not from a shelter but by very happy coincidences! I work part time at a boarding facility so I’m with animals not just at home but at work as well!! I work remote for my full time job half the week so my availability is pretty open. As I work at a boarding facility I have a wealth of experience when it comes to a wide verity of pets. I understand the importances of feeding times, administration of medication, and routines in general. Your pets health and safety is my top priority. I know when I am away from my animals I love getting updates so I believe communication is key. I love sending photos and updates so when you’re not there you can still feel with them! I am dedicated to providing the service that I would want for my pet family. Your pets happiness is my top priority! I am very excited to meet your pets! I work remote half of the week so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals on the other days I can be there before and after my shift. I will treat your dog and your home as if it were my own. I follow the established routine provided by the owner to ensure a stress free and fun time

Y'allllll the way Grace is with our cats is fantastic. She takes the time to make sure to learn everything needed to make sure they are comfortable and happy. Our boy (cat) was diagnosed with diabetes and is now eating Diabetic Management (DM) wet food only - this diagnosis happened between this visit and the previous. His sister (also cat) and him have had to go from eating the same dry food side-by-side to eating different food separately in a very sudden change. These co-dependent eaters had been really struggling with the change and we were so nervous to leave them - but Grace has cared for them numerous times previously so we knew she would let us know if any challenges or issues came up. She also came over the night before to learn allllll of the new ropes with their feeding which was soooo appreciated and helped to ease our minds. When our girl outright refused to eat the first night of the booking Grace reached out to me after trying to troubleshoot alone and together we found a solution that worked the whole rest of the trip! I very much appreciate how she is not afraid to reach out with questions, even for cats that she's cared for before. It is so awesome to have a trusted sitter that will go above and beyond!!!
