1. Kathy H.

“Very happy to have found Kathy! She understands how to interact with dogs and all their different personalities. My dog does not like meeting new people but Kathy knew exactly how to greet him and make him feel comfortable. Within minutes he was sitting with her on the couch and letting her pet him. Looking forward to working with Kathy again!”


2. Amanda H.

“Amanda is an excellent communicator and reliable person to look after your pets ? She kept us updated daily and braved FREEZING temperatures to make sure our babies were ok when we were away. ‘Highly recommend her. Thank you, Amanda!!”


3. Emily C.

“Emily did an amazing job taking care of all my animal babies. My two kitties and two sheep loved her. And my chickens and ducks were quite happy as well. I was so happy to know they were all being taken care of while I was away. Thank you Emily!”


4. Michelle S.

“Michelle was very responsive and followed instructions. I would highly recommend hiring her again to watch my dog or others looking for a sitter.”


5. Kylee H.

“First time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier! Kylee took care of ny cat and dog while I was away on vacation with 2 drop-in visits per day. I only booked a couple of weeks in advance, and she came just a few days after I sent the request for a meet and greet. Communication was great, she was very loving with my animals, and I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Kylee, for a great first experience with Rover.”


6. Lauren H.
About: I have had experience taking care of animals in so many different ways over the years. From veterinary medicine experience, doggy day care, grooming, and pet sitting, I can do it all! I am comfortable administering medications if needed, and even helping with behavior issues. Whatever your pet needs, I'm here! I am currently self employed and have an extremely flexible schedule! I can be available day or night, as well as the weekends. I can accommodate most schedules. I treat every animal and home as if it was my own. I have nothing but respect for every client, their loved ones, and their space.


7. Emily B.

“Emily is very easy to communicate with which helps with peace of mind! The dogs followed her around immediately and she was great with them. Would definitely book again!”


8. Elizabeth J.

“Elizabeth has been amazing to my dog Luigi! always on time, she has a flexible schedule, and she is great at communicating. I’ve been very pleased to have her as my reoccurring dog walker! :)”


9. Elaina F.

“I booked Elaina to do a drop In visit for my 10 week old puppy and my 8 month old puppy. She cleaned up the pee on the floor, let out my two older dogs and stayed over a half an hour to get my stubborn 8 months old puppy back in her kennel. I will definitely be booking again, if she is still willing to accept us after today’s events.”


10. Abigail F.

“Abigail was a wonderful petsitter for our three cats! Even our shy and timid Mimi came out during her visits to our home. She sent photos every time and was also able to administer medication to Prince, something that usually only I can get away with. She was neat and tidy with the litter scoop and I even noticed that she cleaned up a hairball for us. I would recommend Abigail for home kitty care and would absolutely book again!”


11. Alyssa G.
“Alyssa has been a pet owner for 10 years herself and has cared for other people’s pets. Totally would recommend her to anyone that is in need of someone to care for their precious babies!”


12. Caitlyn B.
“I can’t recommend Caitlyn enough for pet sitting! She took such wonderful care of my pets, making sure they were not only well-fed and exercised but also given plenty of love and attention. I loved the regular updates and photos she sent, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that she truly cares for animals and treats them like her own. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter, Caitlyn is the best choice!!”


13. Melissa S.
“About 10 years ago I walked into a petsmart with my new puppy not knowing who my groomer was going to be. I was scheduled with Melissa. We kept Melissa as our groomer. We followed her to her new salon and we have become like family. She is so warm and friendly. She treats our dog (now dogs) as her own. We have used her as a pet sitter on multiple occasions and I always trust that we will come home to happy stress free dogs. We adore melissa”


14. Ava D.
About: I’ve also enjoyed introducing puppies to the world around them, helping them navigate new environments, socialize with other dogs, and build confidence in their surroundings. Every day starts with a tail-wagging wake-up call and ends with snuggles on the couch. From morning walks to bedtime cuddles, my furry friend is the heartbeat of my daily routine. Whether it’s mealtime antics or playtime shenanigans, every moment is an adventure filled with love and laughter. every day is a reminder of the joy that comes with being a pet parent. Ensuring the safety of your beloved furry companions is my top priority on every walk. With a watchful eye and a firm grip on the leash, I navigate our paths with caution and care. From avoiding busy streets to steering clear of potential hazards, rest assured, your dogs are in good hands. With a keen sense of awareness and a commitment to their well-being, every step we take together is filled with peace of mind and wagging tails.


15. haley s.

“Haley was so flexible with our 6 month old puppy. She sent frequent updates, made sure he was fed, got his much needed exercise on walks, and was respectful of our home. It was such a relief to have Haley as reliable, trusted sitter while we were at work. Would definitely recommend Haley for any pet sitting needs!”


16. Caitlynn R.

“Caitlynn is the absolute best. I have 3 crazy pitbulls and she handles them beautifully. They are not easy dogs to keep safe, but Caitlynn makes it look effortless. It’s been years since my husband and I have been able to travel, but now that we have Caitlynn in our lives there are many things that we can look forward to knowing we can count on her. She stayed for over 2 hours getting to know us, our home, and furbabies before we had her over. She really made sure we were all comfortable and we are so grateful for that. We love Caitlynn and can’t wait to have her back💖”


17. Tess T.

“Tess was so great with our dogs! I was nervous about leaving them alone for the first time and she was so reassuring and sent pictures and checked in. The best!”


18. Isabella M.
About: I took care of my own family dog (Otis, see above) since I was 10, as well as walking, feeding, and caring for friends and family’s pets over the years! I have experience with both cats and dogs, as well as senior dogs and dogs with special care needs as my family’s pug was treated for anxiety. I’m a full time graduate student in the Malta area, studying to be an occupational therapist. My schedule is very flexible and I’m more than willing to adjust to meet your needs! Let me know how I can best serve you and your pet. I will happily visit your home to check in on your pet while you are away, walking, feeding and playing with them as much as you’d like. I am always available by cell phone for communication purposes and am happy to provide updates and photos of your pet during visits.
