“Our new puppy Charles was instantly smitten with Lindsey, and we knew we had found a true gem. Leaving Charles in her care for 5 long hours was a breeze, as we had absolute faith in her abilities, and this was our first time leaving Charles without my husband or myself being home. We are absolutely thrilled with Lindsey and the exceptional care she provided for our precious 3.5-month-old puppy Charles. We look forward to working with Lindsey again in the near future.”


“Sherri is a wonderful sitter. Our cat is not the easiest but Sherri was very patient and loving with her, figuring out her quirks and willing to work around them. We would highly recommend her services.”


“Jessi was wonderful! She responded to messages quickly. She was prompt when arriving. She interacted with Buddy immediately by petting and playing. She was thorough obtaining information about food and care. She sent pictures frequently. We were extremely happy to have Jessi stay with Buddy.”


“I found Megan was very responsible. My dog, Maizie, was well taken care of and I enjoyed the pictures Megan sent very much. My house was in great order when I returned.”


“Karlie is the sweetest! For the meet and greet I felt immediately comfortable and my dog loved her from the start. She was exceptionally communicative and let us know when things weren’t going according to plan immediately. I came home and she even left it better than she found it! I wasn’t expecting her to clean up after my dog on a muddy day but she did that and washed the towels. Karlie goes above and beyond and I plan on using her services as longs as she wants to!”


“Ericka was wonderful with my special needs elderly dog and my skittish rescue dog. She was extremely respectful of my home and even came back after the dog sit was completed to check on my dogs when we got delayed with our travel. A+! Highly recommend! We will definitely be using her again!”


About: I have plenty of time on my hands. I am disabled so I’m home a lot and have plenty of free time. I have two dogs. I’m very kind ,patient , loving and fun. I have plenty of time and opportunity to help with any situation needed for your pet. I have a very loving and comforting nature and I adore animals. I care for my two dogs, but other than that I have plenty of time on my hands for assistance with your pet(s). I’m ready and eager to help. I care for my pets diligently, I believe they need and deserve lots of time and attention. I would think the exact same for your pet(s).

About: I have a lifetime of experience in pet care. Bathing, walks, play dates, trips to the dog park- I do it all! (And I’m happy to do a meet and greet before booking.) I have a 5yo basset hound & 2 cats and we love to have company! My senior dog recently passed away from cancer and for the last few years of his life he received several medications daily, so I’m very comfortable administering meds on schedule for your pets. Whether I'm boarding your pet or coming by to do drop-ins, I love to take pictures and send updates. If you book with me you should have no doubt in your mind that your pets are being loved and cared for. I don't believe animals have bad intentions, most pets are nervous in a new place (especially in the first 24 hours) and I am patient and loving to them just as I would hope someone would be to my pets! My current schedule allows me open availability for house sitting, day care, and boarding! I’ll be with your pet 24/7 and can send periodic updates as often as you’d like. If I’m doing a drop in or house sitting then you can rest assured that I will treat your home with respect and provide detailed reports of each visit!

“Tess takes such excellent care of our dogs. She takes care to send messages and updates as on the agreed upon schedule. She went above and beyond caring for them and we have already booked her again.”


“Gabby was wonderful. Gabby, Polly, and Penny took to her right away. Penny is usually a little stand offish with new people. Not with Gabby, instant adoration. She fed them, took them on walks, cuddled up to watch TV, probably shared her door dash with them. They were very content when I got back from the wedding. If you are lucky enough to book Gabby, your worries and concerns are over.”


“Simone took such good care of Ollie while we were away! She’s so sweet and kind, and Ollie loved her. She sent several photos and a video, which we loved! We will definitely rebook!”


“Outstanding service! Jessica stayed over at our house for a little more than a week with our pup. She truly cares for animals and treated her very well and kept us updated along the way. She’s honestly the best sitter from Rover we’ve ever had. Will happily have her watch our angel again.”


“Allyson is so sweet and she was so kind to Maggie, even though Mags was being extra jumpy and wild. Maggie relaxed with Allyson while I was away and hot her nap in. I would definitely recommend Allyson and I will be using her again!”


“Rachel did a fantastic job!! One of my dogs can be problematic, and she handled the situation perfectly. Great communication and attention to the details. Would definitely use her again in the future.”


“My dog Alfie seemed to have a great time with Joshua! I hired him for in house sitting while on vacation and he was a phenomenal house guest, fantastic with Alfie, and did a wonderful job of sending updates/photos and accommodating any of my requests. 10/10 would recommend going forward.”


About: I know how much you love your pet and how hard it is to leave him/her with someone you trust. I’m the same way. I decided to join Rover when I had to leave my pup, and family wasn't available to care for her. I found someone who ended up being a lifesaver, and I wanted to help in the same way. I have cared for dogs from puppies to older pups, and love each stage. I can also help with any special needs your furbaby might have. I have watched family, friends, & neighbors' pups for ages and volunteered at the Roger's Humane Society for years. Hi! My name is Rebecca. Two things about me make me a great pet sitter: 1) I love pets & 2) I'm home all day. I want your pet to feel right at home. I am fortunate to create my own schedule, which allows me to adhere to your routine – whether that's set mealtimes or going for walks at a certain time each day – as well as plenty of time for lots of love and cuddles. I have a large home with a big fenced-in yard and a Golden who loves to play. She's one of the reasons I joined. She's happiest when she has fur friends over and has never met a pup she doesn't like. Our home has a doggy door that leads into our fenced-in yard, allowing your pup to go to the bathroom, go out and play, and even lie on the deck and enjoy being outside whenever they want. I am happy to correspond with you as much as you would like, including lots of texts & photos – giving you peace of mind knowing your furbaby is safe & having a wonderful time.
