“Sadie was amazing! She took such great care of my cats and they absolutely loved her! She gave one of m cats her FIP meds no problem. I always got the best photos at the end of each visit. 10/10 recommended!”
“Meghan has been seeing my puppy, Indie for a few weeks now, and she is really great with her!! She plays with her the whole time and the Rover report cards are always super thorough! It is great to have someone so thoughtful looking after your pup!”
“Cori was super responsive on short notice, generous with her time/updates, and snuggled our big cat like he was her own! Thanks so much for taking care of him while we were away!!”
“Natalie took excellent care of our cat Milo while we were away. She was very detailed in her updates and even brought in a package that was delivered in our absence. I will definitely use Natalie again!”
“Laura was excellent to our furbabies! She took care of our elder kitty who needed meds administered daily and he responded well to her care. We will definitely use Laura again in the near future !!”
“Olivia was everything I needed in a cat sitter. She was kind, polite, and did everything asked, plus a bit extra! Olivia is already very experienced with cat sitting, so other than provide basic instructions about where to find things, I did not have to provide any other instructions. She filled out extensively detailed Rover cards (a first for any of my drop-ins) and provided ample photos, which I appreciated because I tend to worry about my home and pets while I am away. She made visual contact to confirm that my cats that hide are ok, and gave extra attention to my cat that likes to play and be petted. She had to bring her children to one drop in, but she asked first, and that was so polite of her to do, plus it ensured the safety of my cats and her children. The kids played very nicely and showed affection to my friendly cat, who gets really bored and lonely when we are out. She even stayed a bit longer a few times to play with him. When someone is dropping in at your home they could do almost anything and you would have no idea, so I appreciate being informed. You have to place a lot of trust in someone in order to allow them into your home, care for your animals, and make an emergency decision if necessary. Communication is a major component in earning and keeping that trust. Olivia followed all instructions, asked for clarification if necessary, and kept me informed on what happened at my house, the cats, and what she did while there. She even brought in my UPS box. She was an outstanding sitter, the best I've used so far. I would definitely use Olivia again.”
“Bryanna was wonderful! She was spectacularly thoughtful and went the extra mile to take care of my critters. She stayed in good touch throughout to send photos and ask questions and give updates. Highly recommended!”
“Erica was great with my dogs! She was super attentive and let me know everything that was going on while I was away. She even brought toys for my girls to keep. She is lovely and I highly recommend her!”
About: Because I couldn’t have a dog as a kid (allergies), I was delighted to have outgrown them in adulthood. I jumped all in to dog loving, education, and training beginning with my Miniature Schnoodle, “Sticker” in 2015. Sticker grew up to be a wonderful, well-balanced dog. Before I knew it, people were asking me who trained him. And that’s how I began training on the side from my profession in medical education. I limit myself to dog-walking these days, but whenever I need a walker, I’m more comfortable knowing my baby is in knowledgeable and caring hands. I look forward to adding additional joy to your pup’s life! I no longer have my own dog at home full-time, so I set aside time for walking others’. Loving on dogs is the best, and it keeps me exercising, unlike working at my desk! I don't host dogs at my home (except my own!). In your position, I’d look for someone reliable, kind (even when you’re not looking), and will instill good habits in your pet. (I can help!)
“Krista is fantastic! She went above and beyond to care for our 15-year-old Beagle. We were nervous about leaving him because of his age and because we hadn’t left him in a long time, but Krista’s photos and messages assured us that she was taking really good care of him. We will definitely ask her again!”
“Abby was awesome! This was the first time we used her and will definitely be booking again! Our three cats were very well taken care of and she made sure all our mail and packages were brought in.”
“Alex has been soooo so helpful with our recent unpredictable and spur-of-the-moment pet sitting needs. Thank you so much! Gilly the sheepdog will be disappointed when we come home!”
“Liz was great! Send lots of pictures and even cleaned up after our kitty puked during her first visit. I appreciate that she took such good care of our cats AND our house!”
“Elise was so wonderful and flexible with our last minute request! She was great with our pup and interacted with him in exactly the way we prefer - patiently, calmly, and respectfully! He got the potty break and company that he needed and I got lots of peace of mind that he was being well cared for while I was away for the day. I looooved her report at the end of the visit. It was full of adorable photos of Jimmy’s time outside and inside, and included a great synopsis of the visit as well. We have some loud & dirty construction on our street currently, but Elise was able to entertain him and stretch his legs without a neighborhood walk. She communicated her decision & thought process behind it in a way that left me feeling really appreciative and confident that he is with someone who can gauge his body language and the environment and make the best possible choice for him!”

Banksville pet parents share their Rover experiences
Abbie was incredible in caring for my kitties, she went above and beyond!!!!! During my trip away, she checked on my kitties and gave my one cat her inhaler every day. I not once was ever worried about my cats while I was away, which I could never say before! I was updated on every thing with much detail and that is something a cat owner like me loves when I can’t be with my babies myself 🥰 I would give Abbie 100 starts if I could!
