“Joanna was amazing! She took great care of our three cats and had great communication with pictures! She is friendly and our fur children loved her!”
“Lindsey was awesome! She stopped by a day prior to meet my feisty pet that doesn’t really let anyone touch her. The next day Lindsey started her shifts and my dog acted like she knew Lindsey from before! Awesome person. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Lindsay S. saved the day! She came over on only 2 days notice & on one of the hottest days of the year. We had to keep our dog inside; Lindsay S. was prompt in arriving at his "dinnertime" to let him out, feed him & keep him company for the drop-in visit. She took great care with him & then sent photos on her own accord. That put our minds at ease until we could get home a few hours later. Well worth the (very affordable) fee & we will reach out to her again in the future, for sure! Thanks Lindsay S.!”
“Katie treated our cats like her own. She brought them toys and treats (she confirmed this was ok first) and spent time playing with them during each visit. She sent multiple pictures and an update after each visit. I will use Katie every time we need a sitter and would recommend her to anyone!”
“We loved our experience with Evangelina so much that we rebooked her foe this trip, which was twice as along as last time. She kept us thoroughly updated and sent pictures everyday. She is very fast with all communication and extremely friendly and professional. Our cat Raider was just as happy and healthy as ever when we returned. I highly recommend her and will rebook her for all future trips out of town.”
“They went above and beyond for us and our fur baby and we can’t thank them enough,”
“We had a family emergency and needed to travel suddenly. Kristin responded so quickly when we asked if she was available, made time to come meet the cats the next day and go over the routine, and was great with the cats while we were gone. Both cats need medication and one is skittish enough that sometimes that can be challenging with new people/cat sitters, but she seemed to do great with Kristin! Photos and notes from each visit helped a lot too, knowing that the cats were doing well helped mitigate some of the stress.”
“Kelly is always great! She is consistent and always leaves a thorough report after her drop ins, with plenty of cute photos. When Kelly visits, we feel reassured that our kitty is getting everything she needs!”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for the past 30 years. In the past 10 years have enjoyed taking care of my senior Beagles. I'm off for the summer so just about any day works! In the fall, my schedule will allow Mon- Fri after 3pm. Can't wait to help out! I can help you in your home with feeding, walking and playing with your pet. If your pet just needs snuggles, I'm there for it.
“It was a pleasure to meet with Carly on Thursday, we discussed some important things about Parker being taken care of, things he likes and also-the things that we need to be careful about him.”
About: I grew up with dogs, a few cats, a hamster, and goldfish at various times and love being around animals. I am the go-to pet sitter for friends and family and have cared for all kinds of dogs - large and small, anxious and silly, and cats, too. I don't have special training but am good at figuring things out. I work from home so have flexible time for feeding, walking, playing with your pets. I am available to pet and/or house sit on weekends. My dog was terrified of fireworks and other loud sounds, so I am very careful to keep dogs on leashes any time I am outside with them - unless we are in their secure fenced in backyard. I also keep cats inside unless they are indoor/ outdoor cats. Animals tend to like their routine so I try to stick to that so they feel happy and secure.
“Mandy does a great job with my cats. I made a mistake on my booking and while on vacation she reached out to me. I am so glad that she did otherwise the cats would not had a visit from her for 2 days.”
“Andra was awesome and took great care of our 2 cats while we were away for six days. I don't even think our cats even missed us. We would definitely use her again for our next trip. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets most of my life. Friends and relatives call me to either walk their dogs or take care of their cats while they are away. Your precious fur babies are in great hands with me! My schedule will be 7 days a week. My wish is to do this full time☺️ What better job than taking care of you furbabies! ( That includes cats also) I love dog walking because it gets us both outdoors and it’s great exercise for both of us! I can’t wait to meet your fur baby❤️
About: Helllo my name is Asani I am 25 years old I inspire to be a hair stylist I enjoy the creativity and freedom of being one its like art to me. That is just one of my many passions.I have a very bubbly friendly personality. I joined rover because I am a huge dog lover and Ive dog sat in the past absolutely loved it. I Enjoy the thought of being able to care for animals and also helping people at the same time. I can provide tons of exercise and enrichment my home is your pets home away from home they will never want to leave . I look forward and hope to build a very fun and trusting relationship with you and your fur baby! I don’t really work right now so I have a lot of free time to dedicate my focus into pet sitting. I’ve always found it therapeutic to care for animals and interact with them. I always try to ask questions about my clients so that I am able to give them the best care. I like to know what behaviors & routines need to get accustomed too so that my clients feel comfortable because I know how to care for them based on what their parents tell me.
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats in my life, whether in my own house or my neighbors’. I’ve become used to both the chaos and peacefulness of pet caretaking, and I’m always ready to learn something new. In terms of dogs, most of my experience has been with small to medium or slightly large dogs, but I’ve spent time with all types and am excited about new experiences. I’ve walked dogs and pet-sat for neighbors as the majority of my paid experience, and I’m looking to expand outside of my neighborhood. As someone who goes to college in another state, I am often in Maryland during the summers and winters, where I have extra love to give to pets (there aren’t many on campus)! While back home for summer or winter vacation, I have a very flexible schedule and love to go walking, which is why dog walking and pet sitting suits me perfectly. My other job is during the school year, so it doesn’t interfere with my summer/winter schedules. That means that I am available most days of the week, and I will try to be as accommodating as possible for my clients. As someone who’s grown up with pets, I regularly help with feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up their litter box or taking them to the bathroom, administering medicine when necessary, along with any other additional care that they need. While working with clients, I write down any specific instructions they have for me and build a consistent routine, especially if I am pet sitting. I understand that different animals have different schedules and needs, so flexibility and safety is my priority.
“First time Rover user. Holly was AWESOME. She came to our home for a meet and greet about a week and a half before our scheduled weekend. Our dog Anchor, was immediately taken with her and she was very attentive to him. During our away time, she was prompt and even early for the scheduled visits and provided multiple photos at each visit. She communicated, was on time, and attentive to our Anchor. If possible, I would give her 6 stars.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. My family had many many pets growing up. We had 3 different dogs and 8 different cats. I have had 2 dogs of my own and 2 cats of my own. About a decade ago, I opened a grooming, boarding, and dog walking business. It was amazing and I loved every second of it. Unfortunately, a few years ago my partner in that business and in life at one point passed away unexpectedly. I didn't pursue keeping the business open after that. I ended up working with dogs and going to clients houses throughout the years and I am currently opening another business and I have a groomer that is the co-owner of the business. I have experience training puppies, rescues, and older dogs. I use positive reinforcement, clicker training, food/treat based training, exposure therapy, and multiple other methods. I also make homemade treats for my dogs and my clients that are much better for pets than the overly processed treats that are usually carried in stores. I am currently going to school online and building my pet care business. I have complete control over my schedule right now and have plenty of time for pet care! I live in a home and have a fenced in yard. I always allow potty breaks every 0-2hrs and offer walks every 2-4hrs. I live in a small community that is right across the street from a HUGE field and many paths for dog walks and every client I've had LOVES it! I also have a special bathing setup for animals in my home if their owners would like bathing and/or grooms. I have a grooming table in the house in a special room and a groomer on-call at all times. I have multiple bedrooms, beds, dog beds, crates, couches, and more! Dogs are welcome everywhere but always in the same area as I am and not left alone. Safety is my number one priority! I want every dog's experience with us to be amazing and safe and reliable for the owner. I also am able to send updates and pictures and anything a pet owner/pet parent requests! The wellbeing of the dog is the priority. I also have access to a special location 20 minutes from my house with hiking paths, beaches, and fun environments to bring dogs for special experiences if owner wants that for their pup during their stay with us.

I will treat them like my own and ensure that they are safe, loved, and have full bellies (plus water)! I ensure lots of cuddles, playtime, attention, and updates and pictures while you’re away.
About: I am a Bergin College of Canine Studies, Graduate, and have vast experience working with, training, and caring for a wide range of canine and feline needs!

“It is with great pleasure that I recommend Nikki For any dog walking + taking care of any animal. I have known Nikki for 20 years and in that time I have seen firsthand her incredible kindness to others and animals. Nikki would come take care of our dogs whenever my family was at work or school and also whenever we were on vacation. One of our dogs was not fond of very many people and especially not fond of anybody outside of the family. Nikki was the exception. Nikki consistently demonstrated a calm and gentle demeanor around our pets. She is incredibly reliable and trustworthy, always making sure our dogs and home were well taken care of.”

“Kim looked after our 2 cats and 1 dog a few months ago, staying at our house while we took a trip overseas. Kim is simply lovely - gentle, helpful, caring and sensible - and the animals loved her. Our pets all have their special quirks and needs but they all became comfortable very quickly with Kim being their carer. She stayed in touch while we were away to ask us questions and sent updates on how the pets were doing. She also took great care of the house too. We completely trust Kim with our pets and our house and wouldn't hesitate to have her take care of our pets again. We strongly recommend her.”

Nichole S.
“Nichole is my fiance and we have 2 cats and 1 dog together. She is at home all day with our toddler and our French bulldog named Ralphie. She takes excellent care of him and puts in the extra effort when it comes to some of his special needs. She feeds him 4 to 5 times a day due to his digestive issues, takes him for walks at least 3 times a day, and spends a lot of time cuddling with him since that's his favorite thing to do! Nichole is genuine, compassionate, and loves to care for others (pets included). I highly recommend Nichole for all of your pets needs!”
