“Have worked with Laura before and she's so wonderful. Communicative about the cats (who are shy but come up to her), took great photos, told me and helped me when ants popped up and even watered my plants. Couldn't recommend more.”
“Juli is awesome! She is super responsive and provides fun, detailed updates. This was our third time booking drop-in visits with her. Gnarly looks forward to hanging out with Juli again soon!”
“Brian was able to fill in at the last-minute when our usual pet sitter had to cancel. He was super communicative and did a great job taking care of our special needs cat. Highly recommended!”
“Norma has been my favorite pet sitter that I have hired thus far. She had been professional, reliable and consistent, responded promptly, and was accommodating. She cleaned and deodorized the litter box daily, which was important to me, and took pictures daily of all the tasks I requested her to do, I felt secure my pet and home was in good hands. My house was cleaner when she left. What I especially appreciated was the extra awareness she had to my pets needs, on a hot day she put ice in her water, and accommodated changes in payments and travel plans. I highly recommend her services, and I will use her again. ❤️”
“Alex was very easy work with. He let us know each time he came to our home & had a nice update on how the pup's were doing. We also appreciated the photo's he sent us. He made it very comfortable for us to go away for a few days. We would definitely have Alex come watch our pup's again.”
“Marina treated our cat as if she were her own! She went above and beyond what we asked of her and she was always communicative. We will definitely request her to be our rover again in the future. Thank you so much for making our trip a less stressful one :)”
“We appreciate Briana & Jamal taking such good care of our two pups and our home when we needed to fly out of state with little notice. Our pups immediately liked them, and we received so many cute pictures during and even after our trip! They were so wonderful, and we would definitely use them again in the future!”
“Amy is fantastic! She’s tuned in to the needs of my pup and she takes excellent care of him. I can trust her, and it’s a relief to know my dog is in good hands.”
“Alyssa did an amazing job taking care of our 6 year old cat and 2 month old kitten! They were very happy, healthy, and clean when we got home after a week of being gone. We also loved the daily pictures. Thanks Alyssa!!!”
“It was our first time using any pet service. Met Michael before confirming service. I have a Husky and a Staffy whom both would bark alot at someone new, they gave alittle bark for a second and then just gave him sniffspections before wanting to give kisses. They took no time to be comfortable with him. Made the process smooth. I booked him for a week. In that time he spent lot of time with them, even some brushing and cleaning up the backyard. As well as moving things to keep the dogs safe while playing. Great guy. Would book again.”
“I highly recommend having Paul watch your family pet. My little Ava fell in love with him. He was thorough in his visits, gave so much affection to Ava, sent photos on walks, playing outside, and just relaxing on the sofa. This was her first Rover experience and it was magnificent. Thank you Paul!”
“Cassy was so helpful and communicative and followed my instructions for our special needs dog exactly! I hope to keep working with Cassy in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Brooke was very communicative and my dogs were happy and well-taken care of word.”
“Sage dropped in on our cat while we were out of town for a long weekend. She was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures! Will definitely book with her again. Thanks Sage!”
“Elysia was great! I had to book a rover last minute and she worked around my schedule to meet up. I loved the updates and it looks like my pet had a great time with her.”
“Kimberly was amazing! Sent pictures and did a meet and greet before so Milo was comfortable with her. Would definitely recommend her and will be hiring her again :)”
About: I have grown up with dogs, and after mine passed started pet sitting for friends and family. I am experienced in working with various sized dogs, giving dogs their medicine, and am willing to to do other tasks while you are away, if staying in your home. I can provide my own transportation, and if allowed take your pet on acceptable adventures, such as hikes and trips to the beach. I have experience with dogs of all temperaments, particularly shy ones. I am CPR/First Aid trained, and recently passed a federal background check. I currently telework full time, so I would be there all day for you pets, but I also require an internet connection. I look forward to meeting you and your animals, and feel free to message me with any questions you have!
“Carly was an amazing drop in for our puppy Phiona! I am super particular about who we entrust to care for our pup and she exceeded expectations! I was at ease and worry free while Carly was caring for Phiona. Will be our first call for future drop ins!”
“Kristen did a wonderful job caring for our cat Siena. She went above and beyond, always sending daily updates, and even bought and prepared additional food for her. I would highly recommend Kristen for your cat care needs!”
About: You pets will have their own friend during the day (that's me) to play and run around with. I will spend the whole time treating your dog and making sure everyone is comfortable. They will never even know you were gone when I'm there. They will be so tired when I'm done that they'll be little angels for you to come home to. Your pups are going to be treated just as my own, loved and cared for. They will never be alone or feel alone when I'm there with them. Your animal will appreciate you more for letting me play their little hearts out. Your beloved pets will finally be content when you are gone and you can have some peace of mind. I am currently on workers comp so I am only working one day a week 9am to 2pm. I am not doing any other work so I'm fully available. I'll always make sure your pup feels as though you never left 😁 (p.s. they'll love you more for it I promise) ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ I am currently in between jobs and just need some solid work for the time being. I do not work at all right now so I am available whenever you need me. I live in an rv so I take my dog to dog parks regularly and run her around as much as possible. She's fed morning and night.
