“It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Ericka sent regular pics and updates. When we got home our dog was happy and content. When we’ve had to use something more like daycare in the past, he just gets really stressed and barely eats. We will be using rover again in the future for sure.”
“Lillian was excellent with our two large dogs who have different needs like scared of storms/fireworks and high energy, jumpy. She was great with both of them and made sure they had what they needed all weekend, while sending us pictures and keeping us updated. We will definitely contact Lillian again in the future!”
“Bailee took extremely good care of my french bulldog Tank. Not only was she very accommodating and checked in frequently, she also was able to respond and watch him within a days notice. Bonus points for taking him on a long walk and to see my fraternity brothers… Definitely recommend, and will use again.”
“This was my first time leaving my bullies alone for a work trip. I am so glad I was able to find Ella! She was super responsive to my initial inquiry and proposed time for meet and greet. She was on time for our meet and greet which I really appreciated! I got multiple pictures of both, Lolly and Bubbles while I was away. I will definitely reach out to Ella again!”
“I had the pleasure of having Hannah stay at our home and spend time with our pup Olive. I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Hannah took great care of Olive, sending me regular updates and photos of their time together. She picked up on Olive’s quirks in no time LOL! I would definitely recommend Hannah to others, we will be reaching out to her again!”
“Shona was wonderful with our 2 cats. She is kind and caring and our cats loved her. She was very attentive to us and kept us updated the entire time we were gone. We could not have found a better sitter for our cats.”
“Kristie did an amazing job and was also very flexible with her schedule to accommodate our needs. Our pup was super happy to have lots of outings and snuggles while we were away.”
“Melissa is great! Quick to respond and sends daily updates which really gives us piece of mind while we are away. We came back to our boys happy and well taken care of and our house was just as we left it. Will absolutely use her again in the future!!”
“Jen is absolutely incredible. She took care of my pup so well, he was sad to see her go! She sent texts and picture updates every day so I could see how things were going. And on top of all that, she also handled some household issues that came up while I was away. Jen is truly the kindest person and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
About: For the past two years, I've had the pleasure of pet sitting for family members, treating their pets like they’re my own. Growing up with dogs of all shapes and sizes, I've been around them my whole life and have cared for them through all stages — from playful puppies to loving senior dogs. I love going the extra mile by helping with things like fetching the mail or taking out the trash, so your home is just as you left it when you return. Your pets will feel safe, loved, and cared for in my hands! I’m currently working part-time and studying to return to the healthcare field, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate time to caring for your pets. I’m available every day of the week and can adjust my schedule to fit your pet care needs! I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own because I know how important it is to have someone who is caring, compassionate, trustworthy, and reliable looking after your fur babies. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or house sitting, I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, watering, and giving medications. I make sure to take pets on daily walks (weather permitting and based on their age and abilities), and I engage in playtime every day to keep them happy. I always respect the owner’s home, leaving it exactly as it was, and I’m happy to assist with tasks like fetching the mail or taking out the trash.
“Ava is great! She was able to watch bear last minute and she took such good care of him. He loves her dog Molly and they play really well together. Ava is quick to respond and respected our wishes for Bear’s care.”
“My buddy had a great time with Katrina while I was gone! I got pictures, videos, and excellent communication the whole time. My plants are happy and my house is clean. Katrina really cares and it shows.”
About: Hi! My name is Liz, and I am a full time, work from home employee at M&T Bank. Unfortunately, due to a breakup, I do not have custody of my Shepherd/Rottie mix, Maverick. I do still have a cat named Louie whom I love dearly! I miss having a companion to love and play with which is why I decided to start using Rover. I’ve had experience with dogs and cats with medical conditions and also giving medication. I don’t have any breed preferences, however if your dog is not cat savvy, that would be beneficial to know before a board. My availability is pretty flexible Monday-Friday due to my work from home schedule, and I’m available most weekends all day. Your home and pet will be in great hands with me. I will care for them as if they were my own! I currently work full time from home. I am more than capable of balancing my time to give your pet all the care they need. I am also willing to work out a flexible schedule based on your specific needs! Walks and exercise are a must! A tired pet is a happy pet (: I also have experience with anxious pets. I will provide anything and everything to make sure your pet is comfortable, safe and happy.
“Erica was wonderful with my 8 month old mini golden doodle who has really bad separation anxiety. She helped keep her distracted and redirected her when she was barking for me. Look forward to booking another session. :)”
About: I have a degree in Zoology so I have a love for and knowledge of how to care for pets of many different species. I personally have had my dog for 14 years and have also had fish and 2 hamsters. I also used to work at a dog daycare so I am used to and very comfortable with dogs of any size. I am also a professional pet flight nanny with Coris Pet Journeys. I’m available for check ins anytime during the weekends and most evenings during the work week. I am also usually available most holidays to watch your furry family members. I will care for your pets just as you would. I always make sure they have fresh water and are given plenty of potty breaks. If they have a certain routine they do every morning/night I will do my best to replicate that so your pet is as comfortable as possible while you are away.
