“Thank you soo much Erin for checking in on my Jenni-Girl! Erin is very flexible with time and she is very friendly. Also, she sent me pictures after each visit which made me feel soo much better.”


“Taryn was wonderful! She was kind, respectful, and made me feel like taking care of my kitty wasn’t just a job. She made him feel really at home and he can be pretty shy. I loved seeing the daily pictures. She was very flexible with my schedule as well which I so appreciate!! Would definitely recommend to anyone and would book again for sure. This was my first time using Rover and it was a lovely experience with her.”


“Taylor took care of Charly very well, even being able to send me photos of my very shy cat. She also handled a difficult situation with tenacity and determination while I was away, for which I am very grateful. Taylor did an excellent job.”


“I needed recurring visits & Arrica was more than helpful with my dog! She truly saw my dog as her own & took wonderful care of him. Will be booking with her again if I need someone to drop in on him!”


“Jessica knows her stuff! She also booked with us last minute which was such a lifesaver during the holidays! Thank you Jessica!! We highly recommend her”


“Amanda is so responsible and always on time when she drops in to visit Luna! I only trust her with my dog, and I try to book her all the time. She was even able to watch Luna when I gave her short notice which was awesome!”


About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and energy levels- from my parents’ sweet senior Boston Terrier in her final weeks, to their very energetic year-old Bernedoodle who keeps me on my toes! I love getting outside for walks and playtime, but I’m just as comfortable with shy or senior pets who need a slower pace. My two cats at home are total opposites, so I’ve learned how to tune into each animal’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pet wants to play, nap, or just hang out, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and totally at ease. I work full time Tuesday through Friday, typically from 7:00 AM to around 5:30 or 6:00 PM. While I’m not available for morning or midday visits during the week, I’d be more than happy to hang with your pets in the evenings! My weekends typically are wide open for me, so I’m fully available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays! I maintain a consistent routine for my cats to keep them happy and healthy. At the same time every evening, we feed them both dry and wet food to provide balanced nutrition. Their litter boxes are cleaned daily to ensure a clean and comfortable environment. Playtime is very important to them, so my husband and I always make sure to spend plenty of time with them after work so they can get their zoomies out! They’re also welcome on the furniture with us, whether it’s the couch or the bed, to ensure they can always get a snuggle when they need one. (:

“Many thanks to Derek! We’d recommend Derek for your pet service needs. He was thorough, consistent, and sent pictures! We look forward to the opportunity to work with Derek again in the future!”



“Susan is hands down the BEST pet setter we’ve ever had!!! We had a bit of an ant problem while we were out of town for the weekend—Susan offered to pick us up some ant baits from Home Depot since she was planning on going the next day anyways (this was on my to-do list, but I didn’t have time to get them before we left for our trip, so I was so stoked to see her kind offer in my messages!) Not only did she buy us ant baits, but she carefully + creatively placed them around our kitchen, making sure our cat wouldn’t be able to reach them. Thank you, Susan!”


“Taylor was a great communicator, flexible with her schedule, and patient with my shy pup! She also sent updates and pictures of my dog which was great to see! Couldn’t recommend her more for anyone needing a rover”


About: I am a responsible and reliable person who loves animals, has had five dogs of her own, and wants to help others keep their pets happy and healthy. I’m currently working a shifted schedule. Saturday I am off most of the day. Sunday and Monday I am off the whole day. This is great for people with busy weekend schedules or long work days who need some extra help. I am also an early riser everyday, so I can let you run out of the door without worry or you can just sleep in and know your pet is covered. I ensure all doors are closed and locked when visiting your pup. If we’re leaving for a walk, my attention is fully on the safety of the dog. No matter what, I preemptively cross the street if another person or dog is approaching so we have a fun and safe walk.

“Samantha was wonderful with my cats! She sent great photos and gave detailed updates. She truly made me feel like she cared deeply about my cats’ wellbeing while I was away and made me less worried about being away!”


“Rachel and Dustin were excellent. They responded to my last minute request and did a great job taking care of my dog, Blue. This was my first time using Rover. They were kind and worked within my schedule. They met me early before I left town on vacation and help me understand how to cancel check-in visits when I unexpectedly came home a day early. I requested check-ins because I wasn't sure how Blue would handle being around unfamiliar people in an unfamiliar environment. However, Rachel and Dustin were so great I would recommend them for boarding and house sitting, as well. They will treat your furry friend like it is their own. You can be sure that your pet is in good hands with them.”


About: I grew up with dogs and small animals, and I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, including comforting a big dog scared of storms and giving medications to cranky senior animals. I have two cats and a 9-yr-old chinchilla with big personalities. I know pets are our family members, and I look forward to caring for yours! Available for drop-ins and walks in the evenings and weekends. I live in River Market and work in midtown, so I can be available for some morning or lunchtime needs in those areas. I can house-sit nearby, too. Im very respectful and love detailed instructions. I’ve owned feisty, picky pets, so I’m happy to do whatever your animals need! I know it can be stressful having someone else come into your home and care for your pets, so I’ll take every measure to make sure you and your animals are comfortable

“Overall did a decent job. Made sure our cats had food and water and that the litter box was cleaned up. I would have liked more photos and more feedback each day. I appreciated the times that the broom and dustpan pan was used to sweep up extra litter, but maybe put it back in the closet next time instead of across the kitchen counter and stove since that’s where food is prepared. Also, appears that the dust pan chipped somehow and I found the piece over by the tv stand and it came to a sharp point. I don’t care that the dust pan chipped or how it even happened, it’s plastic, but I wouldn’t have wanted my cats to get a hold of that and something accidentally happen.”


About: Had animals in my house since I was a child (dogs and cats). I have experience with animals of all ages which include puppies and senior animals. I work from home three times a week which gives me time for quick mid day walks/check-ups. I also could check in on your pet in the afternoon and early morning! I live in an apartment that has open outdoor space. I currently have a kitty of my own who does well with other animals !
