“I cannot say enough good things about my first experience with Maegan. This was my first time using Rover, and my first time leaving my cat for several days. From the very first check in, I knew I left him in good hands. She was EXCELLENT. Detailed updates with tons of pictures. I will most definitely be using Maegan in the future, exclusively.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets of all ages. Big dogs to small puppies and any in between. I’ve also worked with foster animals for 5 years I’m typically off during the week (Tuesday through Friday) so I can take care of your animals during the busy work weeks. I’m always up early and ready to take on the day I can easily work with the most hyper or laid back of pets. I’ve worked with crate trained animals as well as pets that are more skittish than friendly
“Isabella came through for us in a pinch. So lucky to find her! She gives the sweetest updates on her visit with our little Pepper: her interactions, her activities, and adorable photos. Thanks so much! ❤️”
“She is a very caring and attentive girl when it comes to taking care of my pet. She took exceptional care of my dog despite his disability. She is a responsible and kind person.”
“We are very thankful to Michael for taking care of our not 1, not 2, but 5 pups!!! 3 of the 5 are complete wildlings but he patiently handled them with grace. He is very easy to work with in scheduling. Michael even showed up for a meet & greet and spent quite a while learning the most he could about our babies so he would be prepared to take care of them when needed. We look forward to building the relationship & being able to count on him to help us when we have plans that cause us to be away from them. Thank you Michael!!!”
“Deanna played with my babies and took care of them. She was concerned about their wellbeing and presence. She even got my shy baby to come out and visit. Well done will use again.”
“Callie did drop in visits for our two cats while we were on vacation, she went above and beyond for their care and even water my plants.We were able to relax knowing they were in good hands.We highly recommend her.”
“Laura was fantastic with my 2 pups. My booking was very last minute (the night before service) and she still made the effort to come do and do a meet and greet the night before. 10/10 will be using her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds my whole life. Family, friends, and clients have trusted me with their fur babies. You should too!!! I’m home for the summer may 7th - July 2nd and I can take care of your sweet animals at any time during the week including weekends! I have 3 other dogs who are very friendly, my neighborhood is not dangerous at all and I have a fenced in back yard! I also would have family to help!
“Kerrington takes good care of all our babies which includes a cat, dogs and fish. It makes leaving them much less stressful knowing they are in capable hands. Highly recommend.”
“Sandy took really good care of my cats and did additional things that like cleaning up cat throw up and vacuuming. Her communication with me about what was going on with my cats was outstanding and sent me many pictures so I could see them.”
“Victoria was great @ our meet and greet. I felt very comfortable with her. She was always prompt for the times scheduled. She took lots of photos and did very thorough written updates each time. She even did a couple of extra things we asked her to do without hesitation! We will definitely use Victoria the next time we are in need of a sitter. The babies loved not having to be boarded in a strange facility again.”
About: I have many pets at home (10 to be exact) and they are the best part of each day. I would love to get to know yours as well! I just took a break from college, so I have a lot of free time. I am still available on weekends but not full time because of work. Weekdays are totally free! My main goal is to make your pets feel safe and comfortable with me. I will do what’s needed to make them feel as though they can trust me.
“Courtney was great for cat sitting! She sent photos each day and a quick text to let me know how it went, which I greatly appreciated and gave me a lot of peace of mind. My cat seems relaxed and happy when I got home. Can’t wait to have Courtney come back for Labor Day!”
About: I have had pets in and out of my life throughout my entire childhood. I have dealt with puppies, kittens, fish, and hamsters. Caring for animals comes naturally to me and I want to share the love! I currently work a pretty fast-paced, full-time job, but I do get bored fast. Why not spend my off days caring for some fur babies? I keep my cats on fairly strict schedule with eating, and I try and play with them a few minutes out of every day. Whatever my client prefers, I will accommodate accordingly. Every pet is different and unique and should be treated as such!
About: I’ve had 2 dogs my entire life (Jack Russell and Toy Poodle) and many of my family members have animals of all sizes! I’d love to spend time with your furry friend when you need it!! I have open availability so whenever you need me! I also have 2 small dogs if you’d like your pup to have some friends to hang out with! I take great care in making sure your pet is safe and happy. Lists of things they like/dislike are helpful (for example my cat gets upset when he is held, but likes belly scratches)
About: I have owned many dogs and 2 cats. I love animals and love the companionship they provide and their loyalty of course. I understand how important it is for pet owners to be able to trust someone with a very special member of their family!! I am retired and would love the exercise and making new friends this job would provide! I am very reliable and responsible and trustworthy. I have references to my character also!! Thank you for considering me!! I am available most all the time....I answer e-mail and requests promptly! I would take care of your pets as though they were mine!! My yard is quite large and is fenced and a dog could run to his hearts desire. A covered area as well!
Canterbury pet parents share their Rover experiences
It was the first time to leave my 2 Labradoodles at home because we were going away for a week to somewhere they could not go with us. My faith and trust in Kerrington to take good care of my babies made my trip enjoyable. I didn't have to worry about them. She's the best!
Brenda is my go-to pet sitter and I trust her completely. She has such a kind heart and is incredibly considerate. She’s wonderful with my pet and always makes sure everything is taken care of. Knowing my cat is with Brenda gives me total peace of mind, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.
