It's such a comfort and reassurance to know Geoff and Jenny are taking excellent care of our two cats when we're away. They're attentive, patient, and can deal with our senior boys' special food and medication needs without issues. I'm so happy we can count on them!

Michael was a pleasure from my first message- very responsive and communicative. He provided drop in visits for us since our boy can be a lot to handle outside the house. Michael was up for the task, and put us at ease. Great communication throughout and beyond kind and flexible to accommodate changes to our schedule. Will definitely call on him in the future :)

About: I have always been involved in pet care in my home for over 15 years. I have had experience with elderly dogs and cats of my own. I have pet-sitted in my neighborhood for puppies and for breeds different from my own dogs. I will use my energy to play with your pet and hopefully decrease their energy. I have a very flexible schedule since graduating college and applying to graduate school nearby. I have lots of time and availability for stop-ins during the day or bringing study materials to a client’s home. My yard is fenced in and I can take dogs for a walk in Brookdale Park nearby. I will administer medicine and play with dogs and provide them with a cuddly environment.

Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.

Jonny’s calm demeanor provided enough safety for even our shyest cat to come out and interact with him! Would definitely book again!

Cassie is a phenomenal pet sitter! She took care of our 2 cats for a week while we were gone and was very kind and in tune with them. She went above and beyond making sure to play with them each day too. Cassie is reliable and very friendly to coordinate with. We feel lucky to have found such a great pet sitter for future trips as well.

About: I have an 8 year old husky, 4 cats, large fish tank, rabbit, and a bearded dragon. I have had several pets at the same time for my entire life. My girlfriend manages a pet store so I am always learning as much as possible about animals. I frequently help friends out who travel for work taking care of their dogs. I work in 9-5 monday-thursday with some flexibility until the school year starts then schedule varies week by week due to job in college sports I ensure that my pets are given all of the attention, care, and love that they deserve. They are treated in my house as a part of the family.

About: I have been an animal lover all of my life. I grew up with cats, caring for my beloved Walter until he passed at 20 years old. I have since had the pleasure of my own Lab (now 10) as well as experience in Doggy Day Care where I was playroom manager and responsible for dogs anywhere from 1-20 in one playroom at a time(room combo of an average of 45-55 dogs in the whole building split between rooms and size).I am looking forward to more one on one relationships with families and their pets. I am looking forward to a career as a Vet Technician, and plan to take classes in the Fall. At the moment, I am wide open to spend time with local pets as I prepare to return to school. My plan come Fall will be part time classes and more time animals. Pet care will be my priority in my weekly routine. I always spend time in advance with the fur babies to get to know them and importantly, discuss the pet parents' needs. Do they need special food? Special training at meals for over excited pups? How much do they like to play/walk? Do they like to interact with other pets or prefer to stay one on one with me? I am also extremely responsible in the homes of pet parents, cleaning up after the babies as well as making sure the home is secure.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have watched neighborhood dogs for anything from a dog walk to a couple weeks overnight since I was in high school (I just graduated college!) I have always had a knack for training pups using positive reinforcement and have been coined a bit of a “dog whisperer” by friends, family, and clients back home. I am a major dog person and have been my whole life. I just moved back home to Jersey from Austin where I fostered dogs in addition to my own. I would love to meet your furry friends! I am currently a student at the university of Texas at Austin. The maximum hours of class I have a day are two hours and only on busy days. I am home most of the day at my apartment and have time and love to offer a dog! I don’t have any dogs in my apartment here. While I don’t have a fenced in yard, my building is dog friendly and close to parks/good walking routes!!

About: I was raised in a household with pets, including two dogs, a cat, a school of fish, and even a gecko. This upbringing has equipped me with extensive hands-on experience in the art of pet care and nurturing. My deep connection with my dogs and cats is particularly profound, as I played an active role in their potty training and education, instilling in them a wealth of valuable skills and knowledge. Over the years, I have mainly offered pet-sitting and care services to friends and family. However, as a recent graduate, my schedule has become significantly more flexible, allowing me to expand my availability for pet care opportunities. I am in my gap year before applying to medical school, so I have a very flexible schedule and can adapt to various hours or days as needed. My daily routine typically involves walks or runs, which means I have ample free time for pet care. As my primary focus is on studying, I am readily available to provide consistent and attentive care for pets throughout the day. In my home, I provide a safe and nurturing environment for pets, ensuring they receive proper feeding, exercise, and attention according to their individual needs. When caring for clients' pets in their homes, I maintain a consistent schedule, follow the owner's instructions meticulously, and prioritize maintaining a familiar and comfortable environment for the animals.

Peter was great and I would definitely book with him again. He was very thorough, prompt, and followed all of my instructions exactly. I really appreciated the detailed notes he left after each visit, and it was clear from his updates that he took his time and genuinely interacted with my animals instead of just rushing through the visits. He made me feel comfortable knowing my animals were taken care of, and everything was handled professionally from start to finish. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and great with pets.

About: My name is Alice and I have 20+ years experience with dogs of all breeds and ages. I'm a work-from-home registered nurse, licensed dog walker and doggie foster mom. I'm nurturing and I love dogs. I share a home with my wife and 2 sweet beagles. We're able to give your pup lots of attention because she works from home too. You can expect plenty of videos and pictures of their daily activities so that you can truly relax while you're away. Our schedules are flexible and doggies are a huge part of our day. We love going on walks and being out in the yard. We're super interactive with every dog who stays with us and will suit their unique preferences: fetch, socialization, tug of war, quiet time, cuddles, you name it! Drop-off & Pickup Times: Doggy Day Care 8am - 6pm Overnight Boarding Dropoff after 8am, Pickup before 7pm I have a BIG open yard that's fully fenced in. Our doggie guests rave about us because we make them feel at home from day 1. They get plenty of play, supervised yard time, treats and affection. At the end of the day they're happy campers! I can accommodate shy pups who need extra time to feel safe and comfortable before meeting new friends. And my medical training comes in handy for special needs such as administering injections or medications.

I recently rescued a dog and decided to try Rover for the first time. I found Kyra, and she was fantastic! She walked and spent time with my dog, sharing plenty of photos along the way. It was a great experience, and I felt confident my dog was in good hands. I would definitely book with Kyra again!!

Tirzah did an exceptional job taking care of my kitties. McLovin connected with her instantly, and she always played with him which he loves. Ms. Vanjie takes more time to get close to new people but Tirzah was patient and gave Vanj the space to come out and play when she was ready. I felt really good on my trip knowing our babies were safe and in good hands

Kaitlin went truly above and beyond for us. During this visit she wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t drive, yet instead of canceling, she arranged for a family member to bring her so our cats would still be cared for. We were incredibly grateful for the extra effort and thoughtfulness she showed. Kaitlin has demonstrated her dedication and commitment time and again, and we feel very lucky to have her caring for our cats. We trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
