Meghan is great!! She helped us out last minute and took great care of our pets. She was communicative, thorough, and most importantly, kind to our pets, & we could enjoy our time away without worrying how they were doing. Highly recommend :)

This was our first experience using Rover, and we’re so happy we were able to book Maria and Luis to care for our cats over the Christmas holiday. From the time we contacted them to book, they were a pleasure to work with. They were responsive and flexible with our schedule, made instant friends with our very aloof cats, and kept us up to date on every visit. They’re fantastic sitters. Highly recommend!!

Emily was wonderful! She made us feel really comfortable leaving our fur babies. She followed our instructions and there were no problems or concerns at any time. Our pups also seemed to love her and she spent quality time with them. I’ll def look to book her again the next time we need someone!

Nick’s care and communication have been absolutely phenomenal, and I truly appreciated it. I could tell Sebastian felt well loved and cared for through the pictures that he sent during my time away! This was my first time using Rover, and I'm sold. I'll definitely keep Nick in mind as I travel frequently, and we've had some family shifts so care is not always as readily available.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs for most of my life and already occasionally pet sit for friends and family. I used to work as a caretaker at a doggy daycare, and decided to continue pet care alongside my new job as it became such a fulfilling part of my life. I'm experienced with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and I'm experienced with a variety of other animals such as cats, fish, lizards, turtles, birds, and hermit crabs. My current work schedule follows the standard Mon-Fri 8-5, with most of my weekends and evenings open. Because of this, I'd be most suited for pets that are used to this schedule already. Otherwise, I try my best to stick to their current schedule for things like feeding and walks. I always feel comfortable meeting the parent(s) and pet before the booking. I can take care of all basic tasks and am very adaptable, patient, and reliable. I do my best to learn about each pet's little mannerisms and quirks so I can accommodate them the best I can while keeping them and your home safe. I want to make sure both you and your pet end up happy! I always ask that I'm given the pet's vet and an emergency contact as well, just in case.

About: Caring for animals has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have owned cats and dogs, walked dogs during college, volunteered at a shelter, and have experience across different life stages and breeds. I can read body language to know when a pet wants company and when they need space. When caring for pets I prioritize following the pet's specific routine and needs. This includes adhering to feeding schedules, ensuring fresh water is always available, and adjusting meals for any dietary restrictions. I provide regular exercise and playtime while keeping the environment safe and pet-proofed. I monitor for signs of illness, can administer medications if necessary, and maintain cleanliness, like cleaning litter boxes and brushing fur. I offer comfort and affection for each pet, creating a calm space for relaxation, especially for pets with separation anxiety, to ensure their well-being. I work from home so your pet will have companionship throughout the day. I also offer walks and drop-in visits, great for a midday potty break, extra exercise, or a quick check-in while you're at work. I send photo and video updates every visit so you always know how your pet is doing, and I'm happy to set up a recurring weekly schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. I can easily integrate feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions into my schedule. Whether it's letting pets out for bathroom breaks, refreshing water bowls, or simply being there to offer comfort and companionship, I can provide pets with consistent care and attention all day long. My flexible routine also means I can adapt to each pet's specific needs and make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the household. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comforting environment. I ensure all spaces are pet-proofed, keep routines consistent, and supervise pets closely to prevent accidents or stress. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, calm space. While in a client's home, I respect their space, follow all care instructions closely, and keep their home secure. I build trust through consistent communication, photo updates, and gentle, attentive care.

Danyelle is AMAZING!!! Took such great care of my boys over a holiday. Gave me daily updates and even put up with some of their eating "quirks", which isn't always easy. But she was super patient with them and gave them all the love they needed while I was gone. I was so super happy and relaxed to know they were in such great and caring hands. Heck, even just the trek to my trash can for litter box cleaning was an extra effort in and it's self. Can't recommend Danyelle enough!

Cat really went above and beyond to make sure my cats were happy, healthy, and loved while I was away! They both needed medication 2x/day, as well as food, water and litter changes, and she took this head on, kept them comfortable and sent me lots of updates and photos. She even went to my pharmacy to get the meds refilled because I forgot to do so before the trip. She was also flexible with last minute date changes and left me some really sweet polaroids of my kitties. I would definitely recommend her for any pet needs you may have!

Maria and Luis did a great job of keeping our cats fed, happy and loved. This was our first time using Rover and I am so grateful our first experience was so smooth and easy with Maria and Luis. They arrived on time, sent multiple photos and updates and it was clear they knew how to work with our shy and energetic cats.

Heather was so great with our dog, Ria, who is very high energy and was a huge help with her drop-in visits during an extremely busy week. On the longest day, she offered to came over twice and that was definitely best for our pup. She always has their best interest in mind and overall did a great job! We will definitely be booking her services in the future. Highly recommend!
