Scott was a great visitor our dog Judge this past week. Good with communication and quick to respond. Even added on an extra day to the end of his week on short notice. We recommend Scott if you’re looking for someone to watch over your pet!

We booked Kelly for a drop in visit for our three dogs. Kelly was quick to respond and easy to work with. I also like that she followed up with pictures and with comments that made me understand that she got to know our dogs in her visit. I would recommend Kelly and I will be booking her service again.

Stephanie is AMAZING! She loves on your kitty like they are her own. I had absolutely no worries of leaving my precious boy Bob Versace with her for a weekend and have already booked her for my next trip. She goes above and beyond your regular sitter and leaves thoughtful report cards, takes a ton of photos, AND so many videos! I felt like I was still at home with my fur baby with all of the love and care she put into taking care of him and keeping me updated 💖

Pamela met Sgàile for the first time today. Sgàile is very timid and has a short social tolerance. Pamela was patient with him, met him at his floor level, and Sgàile was accepting petting from her in a surprisingly short amount of time. I REALLY appreciate Pamela's patience and loving pet heart. As a rescue dog, Sgàile's historical trauma was won over with Pamela's patient kindness. So grateful!

Karen did a great job taking care of my cat Reedy for the week. During orientation, she was present and prepared—having read Reedy’s care instructions well. During the booking, she communicated well and was flexible to resolve an initial hiccup. Highly recommended.

About: My husband and I grew up with dogs, and our kids are great at playing gently with animals....so we are opening our home (with a fenced in yard) to take great care of your sweet furry friend while you're away. We don't have any dogs or cats of our own; we will treat yours like our own and include them in our family life while they’re here. We have a fenced yard and no other furry pets to compete for attention. We can walk your dog in our quiet neighborhood, and they’ll have plenty of space to relax in our house too. Our only pet is a small, nonvenomous corn snake who stays in his terrarium all the time, behind closed doors if needed. We are trusting you to be honest up front about your pet's needs and behavior so we can all have the best experience. Let’s do an in person meet & greet to make sure it’s a good fit! We work from home & hybrid so it’s normal to have one or both of us home during the whole work day. The kids have school & activities that we take turns driving them back and forth to - typical family life that we just integrate our dog friends into while giving them attention & walks along the way. We board pets in our home when we are available and know we are going to be home a good amount of the time. We go out in the backyard with them. Note that our house has stairs.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and started caring for them at a young age. I have taken care of my friends and families pets ever since I was 15. Throughout my childhood I have been around dogs up to 90 pounds and even some spicy kitties (including my own)! I’ve had my own dog (Australian Kelpie) and cat (Korat) for over five years, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, feeding, walking, playtime, and giving lots of love and attention! I also recently rescued a stray kitten, who is now happily living with my parents! I have a ton of flexibility so can accommodate pretty much any schedule! I do prefer to meet your fur baby before taking care of them so they can feel comfortable around me but is not required if it is short notice. I myself have used rover for my dog and appreciated the pictures and videos I got while I was away so I make it a point to the same for when I provide pet care! It’s always nice to see your baby being well taken care of! I truly enjoy caring for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own! I currently work part time remotely so I have tons of flexibility throughout the week and most weekends. I am very organized and like to plan where I can, but I understand life happens and pets should always be taken care of! I will follow the pets routine as instructed and do everything that is needed plus giving them extra love of course! Please share any and all helpful information about your pet(s), including their schedule and expectations of my visits. I am very open and good about communicating things. I will even send you updates along with pictures of your pet to ensure their safety and that they are being well taken care of.

Kristen was an amazing help to our family over Thanksgiving. We were a last minute add to her schedule and she was Johnny on the spot. She came to see the dogs before we left and sent pictures daily on their progress. It really felt good to know the dogs were on great hands while we were out of town. We will surely reach back out when we are need for someone to watch our fur babies. Thank you, Kristen!

Melissa was great, she was very prompt in her arrival times and made sure to message me updates about Benny. She took the time to come meet us before the initial visit and Benny took to her immediately which is something he doesn't typically do. This was my first time using Rover and Melissa made it a very comfortable experience for me and my pup. Would definitely recommend her!

About: I am a former vet tech of 5 years (2 of those in emergency medicine) and a pet owner for my entire life. I’m skilled at giving medicine, handling animals, and making sure they feel 100% loved all the time. I have experience of pet sitting puppies &kittens through to seniors. Any animal I meet is treated with my utmost respect and love. I work 7a-4p Mon-Fri, so my pet-sitting hours will have to revolve around those hours. I am also getting my masters so I have online class twice a week in the evenings. In a client’s home, I want to be respectful of all of their belongings so I try to limit the appearance of my presence. However, I do want the pets to keep as much of their normal routine as possible. Whether that is taking them on a walk, have play time at a certain hour, or need medication at a certain time.
