Monica watched our two cats while we were on vacation. She did an amazing job and we would definitely use her again. She provided updates and pictures each day.

Jenevieve is a literal angel. She was just supposed to do a drop-in to see Deku and let him out. My A/C went out the night before the scheduled visit and it’s was 100 degrees outside. Jenevieve took him to her home to watch him for the day while I was at work. If it wasn’t for her, Deku would definitely not be okay! She saved the day and saved me from so much stress during my first day at my new job! A literal lifesaver!

I can't recommend Kassy highly enough! She did an exceptional job taking care of Bella. Kassy was incredibly detailed in her updates, providing thorough reports and sending plenty of pictures, which really put our minds at ease. Bella was clearly well taken care of, and we're so grateful for Kassy's attentive care

Coleman has taken care of our dogs for over 8 years. He is very dependable and we can always count on him. He is always up for playing, walking, or snuggling our girls. One of our dogs has medical needs and he is comfortable giving the medicine and making sure it is timed correctly. Our girls love when Coleman walks in the door, he is one of their favorite people. I highly recommend Coleman for all of your pet needs!

Nathan would make a great candidate for a rover pet sitter. Not only has he pet sat for me several times, but I have continuously seen his calm and caring demeanor around all animals we encounter. Whenever he is around my cats, they immediately warm up to him and even let him groom them in ways I have trouble doing myself. I have seen this happen amongst our friend’s pets as well. Even the timid ones eventually warm up to him, as he is truly an animal whisperer. He cares for his own pets in ways that I rarely see others do, going above and beyond to ensure they are healthy, groomed, and cared for. He has watched my cats on several occasions and I always know I am leaving them in good hands. He does more than just check the food water and litter box, he actually plays with them and checks on their wellbeing. I always know my home will be secure and clean, as I left it, when Nathan comes over to check on my animals. He would be my top choice for a pet sitter.

Emily is incredibly loving and reliable—she’s taken amazing care of my two cats, Millie and Ferguson, as if they were her own. She’s also super responsive and has been available last-minute more than once, which has been such a lifesaver. Highly recommend her for any pet!

About: I am a proud dog mom of an Australian Shepard, and have been around, and grown up with dogs and cats my whole life! I have dog sat for neighbors and family friends for years giving the furry friends, snuggles, exercise, medications, and most importantly love. I am a full time teacher, so I am available after 4:00pm on week days, and am available anytime during the weekends and can be very flexible. I believe that dogs are truly part of your family, and with that being said they should be treated as such. I have an abundance of love for dogs and making sure they are well taken care of, but also given the attention and love that they deserve. I have an Australian Shepard who requires a lot of exercise and attention daily as well as simulation for the mind so I understand the care and attention you give dogs. I want to also make sure that you are truly at ease whenever you need to take time away from your furry loved one because I know that is important. Knowing and feeling assured that your dog/dogs are getting the love that they need!

About: I have had a dog all of my life and enjoy playing with them and taking them for walks. I currently have a mini dachshund puppy of my own that I have been caring for since he was 2 months old. I care for all the dogs I take care of or walk like they are my own. I am very good at giving pets the attention that they need to be content and healthy. I can get along with many different types of dogs and their different needs. Overall I love taking care of dogs and giving them what they need. I have a varying schedule with work but am available to walk and take care of your pet within my work schedule as long as I have prior notice. I can easily take your pet on walks, feed them, play with them as much as possible. I am able to crate your pets when needed.
