“We HIGHLY recommend Lily for any of your pet needs. She was prompt and professional, and she gave our good boys all of her attention while she was in our home. We will definitely be calling her again soon! Thank you Lily!”

“My first time using Rover and it went very smoothly and Olivia was great. We met first and I could tell I could immediately trust her. Will be using again!”

“Tiffany is an animal lover and it shows. My cats were well cared for, and benefited immensely from Tiffany's drop-in visits. Special instructions for our elderly cat were followed, and full reports were sent in a timely fashion. Pictures showed my babies were happy, healthy, and glad to have Tiffany tending to their needs. Thank you, Tiffany!!!”

“Kristen has been amazing with my animals. She always keeps me updated when she visits and you can tell by the pictures she truly cares for my animals. She is my go to girl when I need help!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I was really nervous to try it. We have a senior dog that doesn’t travel well and we usually have people come stay or check in on him, but none of them could do it. I searched Rover for people who had good reviews and repeat customers. Leilani agreed to help last minute and it was much appreciated. She checked on our senior guy twice while we were gone overnight, took care of his diaper, and cleaned up any messes he had. She also fed him. She sent pictures and communicated any problems. It looks like he didn’t want to get out of bed so she brought his food to him for one of the feedings, which was a super sweet way to make sure he got food. We would hire her again.”

About: Hello! I have taken care of my own, family, and friends' animals for over 10 years and those in community going on three years. I've worked with most breeds and ages. Size does not matter whether your best friend is 5Ibs or 150Ibs! I have a flexible schedule and can work with you on times. Whether it's walking, daily visits and feeding or all of the above I'm happy to help. I have experience with senior dogs and their sometimes more complex needs, including medical. I work from home and as a result have a flexible schedule. I take time out of my day regularily to walk, play and be with our dogs and yours, it's a great way for me to break up my day and get to know the great dogs in the community. When caring for your pets I take great care to be respectful of your space, only going where I need to for your animals. I make a point to clean any pet mess and ensure they are secure before leaving.
“Megan was awesome with our dog Rugby! It was so nice knowing he was able to be comfortable in his own home but still get the care and attention he needed. She sent us pictures and even made an extra visit to check on him. We will absolutely reach out to her again when we need someone to care for rugby!”

“John has been absolutely wonderful with my puppy, Lainey. He is reliable, patient, and clearly loves dogs. As a new puppy owner, it gives me great peace of mind knowing that Lainey is in such caring hands. John takes the time to make sure she gets the exercise, attention, and positive interaction she needs, and he always keeps me updated on how she’s doing. Lainey is excited to see him, which tells me everything I need to know about the quality of care he provides. I highly recommend John to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate dog walker. We are so grateful to have found him!”

“Dawn was wonderful with taking care of my cat last minute! She sent very detailed updates and lots of pictures. My cat can be very shy, and she really went out of her way to be extra patient and loving with him. I would highly recommend her!”

“Kristina really helped us out with a last minute booking! She’s flexible, responsive, and respectful. She made sure our boys were take care of and even brought in packages so they wouldn’t get left out in the rain!”

“Christina was awesome!! Not only a kind individual, but wonderful with our two pups! She offered to work on some training while she spent the day with them, took them to the dog park, and was very accommodating when our plans changed. We will definitely use her again for pet sitting in the future!!!”

About: Animals bring me so much happiness. I lived in a household with dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens and lizards for several years. I loved starting my day with them every morning. They all have their own special personalities. It would be my pleasure to spend time with your pets and make them feel loved and cared for. I will provide exercise and playing, medication administration, provide your pet with fresh food and water or just some cuddle time if needed. If you need additional services I am more than happy to try and accommodate you. Our pets are a part of our families and I will do my best to make sure they feel happy, safe and comfortable in their environment. It's all about the animals for me. I have a pretty flexible schedule and love to stay busy. Nothing makes me happier than filling my days caring for your pets. I am coming into your home and want your animal to be as comfortable as possible. I want to make sure their daily routine stays the same and they feel safe, relaxed and happy with me.

“Kate is very friendly and responsive and was able to accommodate a meet and greet and drop in visit on relatively short notice. I appreciate her spending time with my pup even when he can be a bit shy with strangers. Thanks so much!”

“Sandra took care of our two large labs for their evening routine . She sent us lots of photos and kept us up to date during her visit. She took extra great care of them. Thanks Sandra!”

Megan is an excellent communicator and problem solver. She goes above and beyond with her care of our cats. She contacted me anytime there was something unexpected happened and asked for advice. She handled a difficult situation with one of our aging cats and we are very grateful.
