“Ilene took such good care of my cats while I was out of town. She sent me so many pictures and it was so nice and reassuring to see how much fun my girls were having while I was away. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

“Carrianne was amazing with my cat Millie! Very nice and friendly in our initial meet and put such great care towards my cat. Incredibly thorough updates with super cute pictures!! Will definitely be reaching out again next time I need services, 10/10 recommend!!”

“Hope is the best. I have an old cat with lots of special needs making it hard to leave him alone but Hope was super communicative, caring and made me feel comfortable that he was in good hands.”

About: I love all animals. I trained my dog myself and I'm very responsible with animals. I know what to do to ensure things are safe for your loved pet. I go to school Monday to Friday, Fridays I'm available beginning at 4:00 pm and until 9:00 pm. Saturdays and Sundays I am available between 11:00 am and 9:00 pm. I can be available earlier on Saturdays and Sundays if needed. I would care for your dogs like they are my own pets. I would be sure to take them out based on their walk and bathroom schedule. I would feed them is needed during the time I have them. I love to cuddle dogs and help make sure they feel comfortable in whatever environment they are in.
“Melissa dropped in to check on my 2 cats for four days. She was kind, dependable and responsible which gave me peace of mind, especially considering one of my cats is elderly and needs daily medication.”
“Katie consistently goes above and beyond. Our cat was alone during a snowstorm and power outage, and Katie communicated with us right away that our automatic feeder wasn’t working. She worked with me to come up with a mitigation plan, and she offered to check on our cat the next day to make sure the kibble had dropped, even though we hadn’t booked her for another visit. She is an AMAZING sitter and very kind, generous human.”

“Nevaeh was awesome! She sent us text updates including pictures/videos the whole time giving us peace of mind. Our dog Mallie loved her! Would definitely recommend!”

“Jackie was great! Kitties were very well taken care of. Pictures were sent throughout of them playing, having treats, etc which was nice to see while we were away! Would definitely use her again!”

“Abigail took such great care of our two kitties while we were out of town. She was reliable and consistent with them and always sent us wonderful photos and updates after each visit. We will definitely book with her again! Thank you so much for caring for our babies!”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. Every time I get the opportunity to watch a fur baby, I treat them like they are my own. I have done some dog/puppy training as well, and I've always gotten great reviews on what one's pet can do by the time they go home (If interested) My schedlue is fairly flexible. I am able to move clients around depending on your availability. This is my full-time gig as of now, so I take lots of pride in the care I provide to your pet(s). I have currently moved to Riverwest, this came with a fenced in backyard (yayyyy)! I live close to lots of parks, dog park (Rover west), and trails.
About: I grew up with two cats and two dogs, so I’ve been around pets for most of my life! I got my own dog five years ago, and I have been taking care of her ever since. I love any and all types of pets, and I have am flexible with times and can accommodate mamy different schedules. Along with taking care of my own dog, I am available throughout the day to stop in and check on/walk dogs. I am also available any day to stay over as a sitter. My one and only priority would be taking care of your pet. I would never be intrusive or inappropriate in your home. I would treat it with the respect I would want from a sitter.
About: I am a former dog handler that worked at a doggy day care where I cared for multiple dogs daily, managing different temperaments and energy levels. I’m experienced in supervising play, maintaining safety, and keeping dogs calm, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ve also owned dogs and cats in my lifetime as well! Genuinely an animal lover. I’m available for morning and evening visits on weekdays, and I have open availability on weekends. I offer flexible scheduling for walks, drop ins, and pet sitting, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine. I prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, follow routines closely, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
“Qian was the best! She was super responsive and gave updates/pictures/videos when we asked. She took good care of our 9 year old cat when we were gone for a few days on vacation. She played with our cat, fed her churu treats, did the litter box scooping, and everything else! She was respectful of our space and our cat bonded with her. Would definitely recommend!!!”

“Alex is always on time, she’s super reliable, communicates thoroughly, and is very loving and attentive with our fur babies. Regardless of how shy or how excitable each one of them is, Alex gives them each personalized attention so they all feel comfortable and happy. By far the best pet sitter we’ve worked with and the most detail oriented as well (which is a huge plus considering we have three pets that each require different care in their own ways). We always feel confident and reassured when they’re under her care. Thank you, Alex!!🐾😊🐈⬛🐕🐕”

“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better dog lover, than Jamie. Jamie was fantastic to work with, and has great communication. I look forward to working with her in the future.”

“Jessica did a great job running energy off our active Australian Shepherd. She was content when we got home. PLUS she took an amazing picture of Maisy playing tetherball!!”

Carrianne was great and helped me feel more comfortable being away from my babies for a week! My cat loved her and immediately wanted to be friends. I loved the pictures she took and the descriptions of how the visits went. I’m very thankful to have had such a great sitter for my first Rover experience :)

Melissa was absolutely wonderful and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She took such great care of my cat for two days and made sure everything was handled with care and attention. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I really appreciated her reliability, kindness, and excellent communication throughout the stay. Coming home to a happy, well cared for cat was the best feeling. I would absolutely book with Melissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter. Thank you, Melissa, for your outstanding care.

Lindsay did an exceptional job caring for my dog while I was away. She was highly communicative throughout the entire stay, spent quality time with him, and regularly sent updates and photos that gave me peace of mind during my trip. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being and made sure he was comfortable and happy. I would absolutely trust Lindsay with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Whitney was awesome with the two cats. The two cats were very comfortable with her. Nick and Sam can be challenging and Whitney kept us informed with clear communication. She was very caring towards the cats. I will definitely ask her to care for Nick and Sam again!
