“Kelly was wonderful. I went away for several days and wanted someone to administer a once daily liquid steroid to my cat and someone to also give her affection each day and to check on her water and her automated litter and food containers. Kelly met with me to review everything the day before starting. She was a great communicator throughout, even texting a picture of my cat’s foot to make sure something she saw was normal. I loved the pictures and videos of her playing with my cat as well! Great experience!”
“Megan did a wonderful job! She handled the different needs of each of our cats like a pro. One cat needs twice daily pills, and she was prompt each and every time. She went above and beyond, even taking care of a couple small requests I made. I have no hesitation in recommending Megan to other people and will definitely be hiring her again the next time we need a hand!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Gianna! From the moment we met, I knew my pup was in good hands. They treated my dog like family—sending updates, sharing photos, and making sure every little detail was taken care of. My dog came back happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone I can trust when I have to be away. Reliable, kind, and truly an animal lover through and through. I highly recommend Gianna to anyone who wants peace of mind and a happy, well-cared-for pet. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Katrena did an awesome job taking care of our 4 kitties while we were away. She was communicative and friendly and we would definitely rebook.”
About: with over 10 years of experience of owning and working, i’m very passionate about taking care of animals as if they were my own—keeping them happy and safe. i work part time with dogs and cats at a groomer’s and i am also self employed out of my home so my schedule is very flexible depending on the owner’s house, i may care for animals differently according to the owner’s own wants and needs. regardless of the type of care, the pet would have consistent supervision to ensure the pet is safe
About: I’ve always had pets growing up so I know a thing or two. I’ve taken care of my own dogs when they have needed medicine and as well as raised and trained my own puppies. I am really open to helping take care of your pets any time as I am currently at home and doing online schooling.very open to playing and taking care of them whenever they need I have a very safe neighborhood to take pups on walks in and help keeping them company and active. There is a dog park near by as well we can go and play in
About: I will make sure your fur-baby has the best time and make sure you get pictures through the time they are with me! I will be home at all time so they will never be lonely. I have a puppy that loves to play with other dogs AND adores cats! (Sometimes I feel as if she thinks she is a cat too😂) I have toys and treats. I usually allow the animals on our furniture because this is their home as well, But if you don’t want your baby on furniture I fully respect and can accommodate that for you! I lost my home not long ago and got out of a bad relationship. I’m currently living in a van and traveling! I have all the time in the world and being able to see your pets and spend time with them woukd be the best! 💜 They will be looked after and played with! I am a huge animal lover and always have been. I love spending time with animals and learning about them! :)
“Molly was awesome. She took great care of my buddy while I was gone. Communicated very well and sent me some great pics. I know he was in great hands with her and I will definitely use Molly again.”
“Mark was wonderful with my pups! It normally takes my female quite some time to warm up to new people but she took to Mark right away! It was nice to receive pictures and updates about the pups and know they were getting the care, attention, and exercise they needed while I worked a 12 hour shift. I would recommend Mark to anyone looking for excellent pet care and hope to book him again in the future to care for my pups!”
“Caitlyn did an amazing job with our elderly cat!”
“Kimberly did an awesome job taking care of Tiger. She had great communication with me. Thank you so much! I’ll definitely rebook whenever I travel again.”
About: I have 2 of my own babies. My oldest has always needed special diets, medications, and now has cancer. Compassion is key, which I have so much to share! My youngest shows life is meant to be lived and always smile! I aspire to become a groomer soon, look good feel good! I work full time, but am available at 3PM every day with open weekends!! There’s always time for a walk with all the smells and fun to be had! You know your baby best! I follow instructions well, and will ensure they trust me as much as you do! Treats never hurt! I have their best interest in my heart, and want them to be exactly the way you left them when we get back from having a blast and seeing the world!
“Great job! Definitely recommend her! She was more than accommodating to my crazy pup! Lol Thank you!”
About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life and have much experience taking pets on walks, playing, and sticking to routines. I’ve helped a post surgery pup recover and also care for a senior dog who needed daily medication. I’m reliable, gentle, and treat every pet like family, always making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care is already part of my daily routine! I care for my sister’s dog every day, so I’m used to walks, playtime, and sticking to a consistent schedule. I’m flexible and can easily fit additional pet care into my week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I stick to their routine, follow your instructions closely, and treat your space with respect. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

Brianna C.
“As Brianna’s mom, I’ve had the joy of watching her grow up surrounded by animals—dogs, cats, you name it. She’s always had a gentle, intuitive way with them, even as a kid. We’ve had pets in the house her entire life, and she’s been hands-on from the beginning—feeding, walking, playing, and caring for them like it was second nature. She also babysits my two dogs when I’m out of town or just need an extra hand, and I never have to worry. She’s responsible, attentive, and clearly loves spending time with them. They get so excited when she comes over! I’ve seen how patient she is with animals, whether they’re shy, hyper, or just need a little extra love. I know she’d be a wonderful addition to the Rover community. Any pet in her care will be treated like family. —Donna”
