“Elle was terrific! We needed care for our 2 dogs while we were gone to wedding. She came over and met us and the dogs ahead of time. The dogs loved her right off. She has a caring personality and they loved that... One of our dogs is a senior diabetic that needs shots. Elly was more than willing to handle that as well as the pills they needed. She sent lots of pictures and notes about how it was going. Everything went well and we plan to request her in the near future. So glad to have someone that we trust with their care.”

About: I have been around animals my entire life and have volunteered at an animal shelter where I socialized puppies and cats. Animals have always been very comfortable around me and vice versa. I am comfortable with all sizes of dogs and breeds. I care very deeply for animals and would love to help you ensure your dogs are getting the exercise and attention they need. I graduated college with a major in veterinary technology at TJC, and currently work as a veterinary technician. I do have a full time job at a veterinary clinic with my days and hours varying. Typically I work 5 days a week with a max of 8 hours a day. Due to this I am unable to be with your pet at all times but would love to spend my free time with them! I make sure to stay in close proximity to the animal and keep a close eye on them while playing with toys to prevent any injury. I am very knowledge on what kinds of things are toxic to both cats and dogs and am able to pick up on signs of possible varying illnesses.
“My dog was safe with Eden. Sent me pictures/updates. Only thing was that she wasn’t comfortable taking my dog on a walk. When she usually goes on 2 walks a day. Thought it would be a house not an apartment. She’s new to rover so I understand the confusion for her. Still my dogs and animals were safe and sound when I came home.”

“This was my second booking with Jose with this one being quite a bit longer at 6 nights. He did a wonderful job taking care of Riley and my place. I’ll definitely be booking him again!”
“Thank you so much Zapporah for staying with our fur babies! They were happy to see us but you did an awesome job of taking care of them. Next time we need a sitter, definitely reaching out to you!”


“Summer was awesome. She sent pics regularly of our pups and wasn’t bugged by this fur mamas constant requests. She left the house spotless and even took sheets off the bed and folded them. Can’t wait to use her again ♥️?”

About: *For first time clients, it is important for me to have a Meet and Greet so that I can get to know your pet and you. So please book in your requests in advance* Hello! I’m new to Rover but I have taken care of dogs since I was 8. I have 6 dogs at home and volunteer at a Humane Society, so I have experience with all kinds of dogs. I love animals and wish to help you with walking, check-in’s, or house-sitting. I can also help you with whatever responsibilities you wish for me to take care of while you are away! I'm currently on break, so I will have plenty of time to care of your pets. I'm available on weekdays and weekends between any reasonable times, just check my availability for any updates. Your pet’s safety and care is my top priority. I will treat them like my own pet and will carefully follow any instructions left to keep your pet comfortable. I know trust is important so I can provide regular photos and updates.

“Natalie did a fantastic job with my animals. She fed and took care of their needs as well as loved on them. I came home to 3 happy animals and my house was cared for as well. Thank you so much for loving and caring for my three babies. I will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life, so I have gained quite a bit of experience taking care of them and picking up after them. I absolutely love animals with all my heart, and have cared for all sorts of them: cats, dogs, turtles, fish, birds, you name it! I am extremely responsible and have the patience and love to fulfill all of your pet’s needs! I feed my dog and cats every day. I pick up after them in the yard every couple weeks. I walk my dog occasionally, but play with him every day. I pet and play with my cats all the time! In my client’s home, I follow all instructions and timelines. I show love and care to each and every animal. I clean up after the animals when needed. Whatever you request, I will do! And more!
“Sammantha was able to help me at the last minute which is almost never possible for me! She followed everything I asked and my sweet dog was very calm with her. She made sure to send updates and photos. We felt very calm leaving him with her, would recommend!”


About: Through volunteering at an animal shelter, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many kinds of dogs. From senior dogs to puppies! All of which I am capable of caring for. I’m currently a full time student at RCC, I major in music so I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate any of my clients demands. I will play with your pets and give them unconditional love and affection. They will receive a walk and a free treat. If there are special needs or requests, I ask you to let me know.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that, I have an infinite amount of patience with pets, I often come off overly professional as far as training within the skills I have, lastly, why dog, puppy, cat, or kitten doesn’t need more love in their life? I actually don’t have any schedule restrictions. I have an entirely open schedule so feel free to book whenever you need. Home most of the time. How I care for pets in my clients home is making sure some type of physical activity occurs to ensure excellent physical health, as well as proper meal times (meal preps). Letting the clients pet do at least something that they find joy in (of course, something safe and harmless).

Leaving my dog home during trips is difficult for me and I’m always a bit worried not just for my very anxious dog, but for the sitter in her care (it’s not for the weak). I appreciate how much attention to detail Jennifer requests and takes into consideration. With my dog being more needy and requiring medication, I can trust that Jennifer is able to handle my baby’s quirks with care, patience, and expertise. Thank you for caring for Ella and keeping her as comfortable and calm as possible during my time away!

Jennifer is super responsible and communicative. She housesit and watched our 2 dogs for the weekend and we couldn’t have been more grateful and happy with her care. Lots of photos and videos were shared with us during the stay, and she was so clean and tidy! Highest recommendation!

Sammantha was able to help me at the last minute which is almost never possible for me! She followed everything I asked and my sweet dog was very calm with her. She made sure to send updates and photos. We felt very calm leaving him with her, would recommend!
