Teresa was amazing!! She took such great care of our dog Chowder while we were away and was the best dog sitter we've ever had. Chowder was so relaxed and happy when we got home. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Megan took care of my aging housecat and my home for several days and did an excellent job at both! Her communication was excellent and I loved the pictures that she sent of my little guy while I was away. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Jenni L. She and her partner Matt work together, and for this visit, Matt stayed with our beloved cat for several days. I cannot say enough about how reassuring it was to hear from him and see the pictures and videos that he sent of our cat and of the two of them together. Clearly, she loved him and felt very comfortable with him. We will definitely hire them again!

Excellent expirience all around. This was our first time using Rover after our original sitter fell through. Chris was fantastic at communicating and sent so many updates and photos we felt like our dogs were with us on our trip. Chris not only let our dogs out and fed them but really cared for them and made sure they were happy and comfortable while we were gone. We will absolutely use Chris again!

I have no words to describe how happy I am with Heather! Gracie is a large energetic puppy and seemed to take to Heather right away! Heather kept me updated on all the exercise Gracie got as well as all the snuggle time. Gracie was a happy puppy when I got home and my house was immaculate! I will absolutely be asking for Heather again!

Taylor was amazing. I went away for the weekend and have literally never left my dog without anyone but family before. I was so nervous. But Taylor came over for a meet and great before and gave me complete confidence. I was able to enjoy my weekend without worrying about my dog or what was going on at home. She even got my pup out of the apartment when the fire alarm suddenly went off! So sad she is leaving the area after graduation or I would definitely book her again!

Katherine did a fantastic job with my dog Finely. She was communicative and prompt and I was confident that Finley was well taken care of. She even left a printed photo and flowers behind after her stay! The house was also left exactly as she found it. I would not hesitate to book again.

Kevin was an absolutely Wonderful Dog/cat/house Sitter. He has the kindest and sweetest disposition and was very attentive. He went above and beyond to make sure the dogs felt comfortable around him. And he took on Two young Saint Bernard's which in itself can seem like a daunting task. He did it with ease and enthusiasm and we felt so comfortable leaving him to care for our fur babies for an extended weekend trip. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He was the first Dog sitter we had that I felt 110% comfortable and knew everyone (and our home) was in great hands. We are so thankful to him and hope he continues to care for our Bernards because he has such an ease and way with animals. Thank you!!

About: Hi! I'm Charisma, a reliable and caring pet sitter with previous pet-sitting experience. As a paraprofessional, I'm patient, responsible, and attentive. I treat every pet like family and provide loving care, playtime, walks, and updates while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and am able to dedicate time for walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and maintaining consistent routines. As a paraprofessional, I am organized, dependable, and attentive to individual needs, which helps me provide reliable care for both pets and homes. I prioritize making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, exercise, medications, and any special needs. I also provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while ensuring the home remains clean, safe, and well cared for. I believe in keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they are away.

We loved Michaela! She took the stress out of leaving our cat for the week. It was our first experience with Rover and we will absolutely be asking her to come back and hang with Kitty when we go away! She was wonderful with updates and making sure our cat and home were always in perfect shape. She is so caring and made sure our cat took her pill morning and night. Thank you for treating Kitty just like your own!

Tina was fantastic. I was totally at ease during my time away, because Tina is the perfect carer: mature, very experienced, kind, practical, attentive, safety-minded, responsive, communicative, and above-and-beyond helpful. She made travel so easy that now I can consider doing additional trips in the near future!

Meg was a great house-sitter and she took excellent care of my aging kitty. I really appreciate the care Meg took to make sure that he was brushed, fed, and watered. She even read him cat books! When I got home, it was if I had never left. He was very happy!

We had Elizabeth watch our 2 dogs for 2 weeks and she was fabulous. Elizabeth stayed in contact with us on a daily basis and sent us pictures of our babies. She took such good care of them when we came home they were not stressed at all and we’re happy to see us. I would definitely use Elizabeth in the future. I cannot say enough about the Care she gave our pups.

Maiya took excellent care of the pets and the house while we were on a week long vacation! She sent plenty of update photos and videos to let us know everything was going well. She took great care of our pup, including taking her out to the local park for a nice outing. I can tell she kept our dog so busy, she barely had time to miss us! She kept the house very clean (probably better than we left it) - I would absolutely have Maiya house/pet sit for us again!

Emma took great care of our small dog, Holly, in our home for a long weekend. She came by for a meet and greet and Holly loved her right away. Emma sent daily photos and communicated with us throughout the stay. She was sweet with Holly and we felt comfortable leaving her in Emma’s care. We would definitely recommend Emma!
