Kathleen was absolutely amazing! She did drop-ins for my pets while I was out of town for a last minute trip, she even came early when my pup didn’t go to the bathroom the previous visit. Such a sweet and caring person, all of her updates and photos made me happy while I was away! My pets loved her ☺️

About: Hi!! My name is Maggie and I am a 20 year old who loves all dogs! I have three of my own at home, and have experience with more aggressive dogs. I am available to walk, play, feed, and stay with your pups! One of mine is just a puppy too who is going through hands on training so I can implement my skills in this field as well!! I have plenty of time to see your pups! I work part-time and play hockey but have lots of wiggle room! Available for most occasions! Being that I have 3 dogs in my home with my brother, it would be more beneficial for me to come to you. If you do need daycare, with permission they could have play dates! I can pretty much do anything from coming in for a walk, to feeding them, to staying for longer periods of time as needed.

Lauren is so great! She helped me out with a last-minute drop in request with only a few hours of notice. The following is my review of Lauren when I first engaged her to care for my dogs…a bit long, but it will paint the picture of the kind-hearted and responsible sitter Lauren is. When my former sitter could no longer care of my dogs, I turned to Rover to find a new caregiver. I was drawn in by Lauren’s profile and clear love of animals. She came over to meet my old dogs (10 and 13 ½) and they hit it off immediately. My boys are always excited for a visitor and smothered Lauren with lots of attention. She was patient with them and really took time to get to know them – outside too. I arranged drop in visits three times a day while I was gone (6 days). She sent me a report card for every visit. They were detailed and included lots of photos (20 or so). Her description of the visits where so good…she captured the quirks of each dog and gave me a general update. Between the photos and her descriptions, I felt like I was there. The report cards have a time stamp and I could see that she spent more than the scheduled time with the dogs. I could tell that my dogs were good and happy. She was great at following instructions for the medication for my older dog. And the house was in order when I returned. My neighbor mention how nice she was and how much time she spent outside with the dogs. I can’t recommend Lauren enough (though selfishly…I only want her when I travel). You would be lucky to have Lauren care for your beloved pets.

Jessica has been great with our dogs. We had a few special instructions and she took care of everything we needed. Our dogs get let out twice a week by her, and sometimes she stays longer than we asked. She’s very good at updating our Rover account with all of the details and photos from each visit!

About: Hi! l I grew up around dogs and have done dog sitting and walking for family and friends for years. I currently have one of my own, Meeko (6, Bulldog), who is friendly and well-socialized. 🐾 Dogs have always had a piece of my heart, and I treat every pup like family. I work remotely full-time, which allows me to be home throughout the day. I do have occasional meetings during the week, but they are typically under 1.5 hours and scheduled in advance. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches of time. I can accommodate morning, mid-day, and evening walks and potty breaks. I’m happy to communicate my schedule ahead of time so you feel fully comfortable. I am fully attentive to the animals. I can provide multiple water/feeding bowls, cooling mats, toys, can give dogs medicine, and lots of love! I guarantee I will respect all boundaries and follow all your directions.

About: As a long time pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your animals. I treat every pet in my care the same way I’d want mine to be treated—with patience, attention, and genuine love. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities—I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! A typical day with me is structured around your pet’s routine to keep them happy and stress-free. For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure your dog gets the right balance of exercise, love, and attention! During visits, I can also help with feeding, refreshing water, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m currently offering dog walking and in-home drop-in visits. I provide attentive, personalized care to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy at all times. Also, have experience with Seniors.

About: I am a social worker in the schools who is looking for some fun for her kids and to teach both responsibility and the work that goes into owning a pet. I am a single mom. I have three loving children, ages 12, 15 and 17 who love to walk and play with dogs! Our fenced in back yard is perfect to accommodate your pet. We live down the street from neighborhood parks that are perfect for long walks. My kids and I love to dog sit for family members and enjoy having a dog in our home. We have more than enough time to give your dog the love and attention it deserves. My 17 year old son is responsible, loves pets and enjoys to help out by doing drop in visits to earn some extra money. We can’t wait to love your pet like it’s our own. I’m home all summer long and during the school year we are home @ 4. We love going on walks and staying active with your pups! I have a fenced in yard and want your dog to feel comfortable in our home. We love them to snuggle up on the couch and sleep where they like!

About: My name is Christina and I would love to be your pets home away from home! Our family loves animals and will make sure your pet is well cared for and pampered while you’re away. Our family includes myself and my husband, and our two kids who are 9 and 15. We do not have any pets in our home right now, so your pet will be the center of attention! Please feel free to contact me with any questions! I look forward to meeting your furry loved ones. I’m currently working remote, with one day in the office so I am able to do frequent bathroom breaks and afternoon walks. My husband is able to assist with care on my days in office. I aim to keep to your pets normal schedule as much as possible. I have a fully fenced yard. My kids are 9 & 15 and they adore animals.

Jacki was so amazing with my kitty! She took incredible pictures and left me detailed notes of a play by play of what they did during the visit. She also is very prompt and timely. She is very sweet with my kitty—she rarely comes out and is shy, but Jacki got her to come out of her shell. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Kendall was fantastic and I can't recommend her enough. It's obvious she cares very much about animals and just doing a great job, in general. My kitties liked her right off the bat, even the super shy/nervous one. She provided wonderful daily pictures and feedback while I was away. It was a relief knowing my pets were in such great hands! I came home to two relaxed, happy kitties which never happens when I'm gone so long. I will definitely get in touch with Kendall for kitty-sitting again. Anyone's pets would be in safe hands with her!

Gabby was wonderful with our 17 year old dog, Tiffy! We hate leaving her anymore but needed to attend our granddaughter’s graduation for the day. Gabby was right on time and communicated with me about the visit so we could relax and know Tiffy was fine! I would definitely ask Gabby back if we needed someone responsible and loving to care for our fur baby!

This was our first time booking with Becca and we could not recommend her more. We have a 1 year old cat, who can be shy at first and she took the time to make him comfortable, including coming for a meet and greet. We were out of the country for 7 days, and did not worry once. The communication and pictures we received were great. She even brought in packages and trash cans for us. When we got home, I think our cat was upset that it wasn’t Becca walking into the house again! We will definitely be booking with Becca again in the future!
