“Michael was great with my cat and dog. My dog had separation anxiety issues and let me know whenever she did do a little damage and gave her a walk to help her. He was very attentive with their needs. I would use him again!”
“Heather was always on time, attentive and kept me updated on the latest about my cats while I was away. I’m an anxious pet owner but knew they were in good hands.”
“Love the updates and really appreciated you taking in our trash can as an added bonus! Sebastian looks like he really enjoyed playing with you and especially his stick toy and being brushed! Thank you so much! 🧡Jen bonus is should be home this evening for More pets and love!”
“Very detail oriented, pet-loving sitter! Took the time to get to know our pets, asked all the right questions to be prepared and we had a great experience. Understands individual personalities and boundaries for pups, and they enjoyed meeting her!”
“So thankful to have found Jessica. She’s been a lifesaver. It’s hard enough to have a sick pet who needs injections, and harder to find someone to help when you need it most. It’s truly amazing to have this service and people like Jessica to assist when you need it most.”
About: Currently a Vet Assistant. I have become familiar with the body language of dogs and cats of all sizes. Coworkers have relied on me to spend time with their own pets for as little as a few hours to a few days. I always do my best to make sure your pets are as comfortable as I care for them. I have plenty of time on Saturdays and Sundays to play with, watch, or walk your pets as you need. Whether you need me to stop in or have an extended visit! I will maintain open communication and send pictures with how your pets is doing. I will always check to see if there are any hazards before leaving and follow instructions for your pets that you might have.
“Dianne was an incredible pet sitter, and I very highly recommend her. She is knowledgeable and friendly, and she cares deeply for animals. I felt completely comfortable with leaving Kitten in her care. Dianne did a great job communicating with me while I was gone, and she even left a gift for Kitten. I will be using Dianne every time I need a pet sitter for sure.”
“Leslie is a wonderful pet sitter! She was great with my dog and was very respectful of our property. I am so happy she was able to help us out! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: I have over six years of experience in animal care and am eager to continue my career. My goal is to work at a veterinary clinic or hospital, or establish my own mobile grooming business after completing grooming school. In my previous role at Sobo Dog Daycare, I gained experience maintaining a safe environment for dogs and recognizing canine body language and behaviors. I'm currently working from home part time as well as doing this part time. My hours are flexible and I'm usually always able to adjust my schedule to accommodate to my rover clients schedule! I can provide care to both, long stays at clients residence or I can provide boarding services in my home!! Whatever is the best for the client and also for the pet parent as well! If im boarding I suggest bringing anything that is favorable, toy or bed, blanket ect its easier for them to get adjusted to the new environment if they have something familiar from home with them.
About: Ive always loved animals, especially dogs. I grew up on a farm, and I have skills training, and taking care of many types of animals. Im currently working part time, and have plenty of time to check on and watch your pups. I have time on the weekends and weekdays for you. I have lots of space, love, and care for your pets. At my clients home I follow instructions and preferences to care for their pets.
About: Like most homes, I grew up with many pets. We constantly had animals in our home. I have experience with newborn to seniors and everything in between 😊. I have been a stay at home mom for 7 years. Since my youngest started school I have been alone at home with nothing to do. I am available anytime while my kids are in school and anytime in the evenings when my husband is home from work. I am also available for over night sitting on weekends. I am ecstatic to help out in any way with your fur baby! I will give them so much love and care, like they were my own! I am not able to have pets in my current home, but I can do whatever I can to help in your home or with daily walking. Whatever you need, please let me know. 😊
“Aimee showed our cat some much needed attention while we were away on a short trip, and she brought our packages in which was a nice bonus! She had great communication with us and was super friendly - Oliver took to her easily!!”
“I wholeheartedly recommend Briana. This was my first time using Rover, and I was a bit nervous about leaving my pets and home with a virtual stranger. But, right away Briana’s thoughtfulness and informativeness reassured me. My pets received the care and attention they needed, and Briana went out of her way to help. She is knowledgeable and passionate about animals, and she is willing to learn. Furthermore she balances professionalism and friendliness. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures, and I definitely would entrust her to care for my pets again in the future.”
About: Hi, I'm Autumn. I am currently working as a therapist during the week, but I like to keep busy during my off time, and I also have the biggest heart for pets. I have 5 furbabies (4 cats, 1 pup) of my own that I love to call my zoo. Every animal I meet and take care of has been treated as if they were my own.. SPOILED! As a full-time therapist during the week, I cherish my weekends as a time to recharge—and nothing makes me happier than spending that time with animals! I’m available for dedicated, unhurried care on weekends, giving your pets my full attention and plenty of love. I love giving pets plenty of exercise, whether it’s long walks, playtime, or helping them burn off those zoomies! I always ensure a safe and supervised environment, respecting each pet’s needs and comfort, so owners can trust their furry friends are happy, secure, and well-cared for.
“She was amazing. We were out of the country and could relax because her communication was superb. She sent updates and pictures. I am very happy we found someone so reliable and wonderful for the future.”
