“Erin was a lifesaver! Our cat had recently been diagnosed with diabetes and we were to have our annual vacation just a couple of weeks after he started insulin. Erin was able to give him his insulin twice a day and made sure he felt loved and was happy while we were away. She was very prompt with responses and was very accommodating when we ended up having to come back early.”
“Sandy was so great for our drop in visits for our cat! Our house was currently in disarray with replacing our flooring, so she brought toys for our cat to play with during their visits! Definitely will book again :)”
“Jana was wonderful! Both her communication and her pet care were exceptional. Jana did an outstanding job caring for my senior dog, taking his special needs in stride. I highly recommend her.”
“Jackie is a great with our dogs! This is our second time having her watch our dogs and she is professional and reliable. I was able to really unplug knowing that she was checking in on my dogs. Thanks Jackie!”
“Erika is an amazing pet caregiver! Both our pups Koda & Ranger loved spending time with her. They both looked extremely happy on the visit reports, and did quite well throughout our absence. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boys.”
“Malaya is the best sitter ever! My two girls (cats) were spoiled and well-loved! They really miss Malaya! I will certainly have her come again and take care of my girls! Thank you so much for all you did!!!!”
“First time Rover user and I picked Lauren based on her 5-star reviews. Lauren was great, she is super nice, she paid attention to some dog specific things, and most importantly the dogs loved her. She is highly recommended and I definitely will be using her again in the future.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for pets my whole life. I used to care for my neighbors cats, dogs and children! I have a masters degree in early childhood so I have an immense amount of patience. I am an elementary school teacher, so on the week days I am available after 5pm. My weekends are more open- let me know what you and your pet need and we can work something out! My boyfriend and I have two cats; Flash Gordon and Stevie Louise. They are the most spoiled kitties and I offer the same treatment and love to any other animals I meet.
“Can’t recommend Andrea enough! She’s great with our dogs (who can be a lot), and sends adorable updates. A true dog lover! Knowing she is coming has given us so much peace of mind!”
“Karlee took great care of our cat while we were away. She always let me know when she was here, and sent pictures so I could be reassured that our kitty was doing well. I felt very comfortable with Karlee and her family and it made our vacation much more relaxing to know Magic was doing well at home. THANKS, Karlee!!”
“Kelly did such an amazing job with our pups, gave our cat some snugs and grabbed eggs from our quail and stored them in cartons we had made available. She is very kind and you can tell she really loves animals, and ours loved her. I would highly recommend!”
About: Dogs are just as much a part of our family as people! We love and treat them like they are one of us. I have cared for my own dogs as well as for friends and family for all my life. My husband and I have raised two litters of puppies since birth in our own home and loved and cherished 4 generations of golden retrievers for the last 15 years. After a recent loss to cancer that came much too soon for of one of our beloved dogs I’m happy to open my home to those in need of a place for their furry family members. We are a homeschool family of four dog-loving boys age 6 to 12. We are home during the day to give your dog the love and attention they deserve. Our kids have been taught since birth to love and respect dogs as if they were one of us. We have one male golden retriever/red setter mix who recently lost his mom/playmate to cancer and is longing to run and play with new furry friends. I strive to care for your dog as you do in your own home. I always hated leaving my pets for vacation fearing they wouldn’t have the same level of love and attention they were used to. Please reach out for any and all requests to make your pets stay as comfortable as possible! We do have a PetSafe wireless fence system and have an extra collar available only if requested.
About: Besides having a german shepherd I’ve helped walk, play, fed, brush and more my friends and neighbors dogs. Friends would say I have a special sense of understanding animals. I currently have a flexible schedule for working with other pets but right now I’m taking care of my own pets daily and I can handle more. I walk, play, clean the litter box, feed/water, snuggle, and talk with my pets on the daily. I will show the same caring attitude towards your pets as I would mine.
“Thank you, Nathan, for taking such good care of Smokey and Sparky! Your daily visits and reports made me feel comfortable that the cats were well taken care of. Whenever I'm gone in the future I'll certainly call upon Nathan and recommend him to my friends! Thanks again ...Fr. Mike”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for most of my life, from daily walks and play time, to giving meds and cuddles. I treat every pet like my own I currently work two part time jobs so my schedule is very flexible. And I want to stay active and fill up some free time. Let’s find a time that works for both of us! In my home pets are treated like family. They get plenty of love, attention and play time. And I will try to keep your pets routines as close to normal as possible.

Jessica & Wil D.
“It is my pleasure to strongly recommend Jess and Wil Daniels to be part of Rover. Wil and Jess welcomed 2 - Golden Retrievers, from our Golden’s litter of 12, in 2008. From that day forward, we were extremely impressed, as we watched them lovingly train their dogs (after spending hours researching various approaches using the least restrictive methods), and provide a balance of consistent play and exercise. They have 16 years of experience with added skills of breeding their Goldens. Recognizing various behaviors and needs of dogs is a strength of theirs and they accommodate as needed. They understand the need for finding ‘someone’ you can trust to leave your companion with. Be assured Wil and Jess will provide a warm, welcoming and safe home for your “4-legged friend”!”
