“Jessica was fantastic with providing clear communication, including updates, photos, and how our pupper was doing! Very pleasant experience and would recommend/have again in the future.”


“Grace was awesome! She was so helpful with toby, always sending me picture updates of her drop in with Toby. I will definitely be reaching out to her again with any help I need with Toby:-)”


“Katherine was a great choice for my first time using Rover, will definitely rebook with her in the future. She was so great with my cat and was very responsive. She also takes amazing pictures!”


“Liz was incredible with our older dog. She was always there on time, even early during his morning visits. She brought treats and sent so many adorable photos of how well he was doing while we were away. I would absolutely use Liz again in the future. What a gem!”



“Felicia was awesome! We just needed someone to watch our cat while we were away for a few days. She was super communicative and great with our elderly, persnickety cat! She stopped by two times daily, and took lots of photos and kept me up to date with every little detail. Highly recommended! Thank you, Felicia! :)”


“Jeff did a great job watching my two cats, making sure they got their food, meds, and lots of snuggle time or just time with some company. He was very responsive, was respectful of all my requests - including a bit of a crazy food/med routine - and I could tell my cats really bonded with him and were happy to see him. It's always such a relief knowing your pets are being well cared for while you're away!”


“Amy is amazing! She took such good care of my cat while I was gone. She monitored her water and food, cleaned her litter, played with her, and sent me pictures each day! I came back from a week long trip to my cat who was happy and healthy. I can’t recommend Amy enough!”


“Excellent visits! Great communication, sent lots of photos and very interactive with our cats. Flexible with providing care and changing up day to day routine. Absolutely perfect pet sitting experience!”


“Mallory went above and beyond for our senior bunny. She obviously knows her way around small animals and was very understanding of his grouchy temperament with a new person in his space. She got him to warm up to her in just a few visits and she did extra cleaning around the house that was not required. We loved coming home to a clean home and a happy bunny”


“Another amazing experience with Brittany. She responded to a very last minute request and was wonderful as always! Great updates, great photos and clear love and attention provided!”


“Chloe rocks! Our first time using a pet sitting service for our cat and Chloe made the whole experience super easy and stress-free. Made our vacation so much nicer not having to worry about anything as knew we could trust our cat in her care. Highly recommend :)”


“Kristen is a gem of a person and so attentive to our dog, Skye. She sends lots of updates and pictures and is also very funny. She is great to work with and I totally trust her with our furbaby.”


“Harlee was great for my kitty!! She's been his rover since he was a new kitten and we love using her as our rover :) She always sends lots of pics and is attentive to answering messages. 10/10 recommend!”


About: I may not have a lot of pet experience but when I love something, I do it 110% I work full time in mental health /substance use and as you can imagine, my day to day is extremely stressful and I talk to rude people with a smile on my face. But around animals, it’s a real smile. They love us so unconditionally and do so much for us, how can you not give your pet the world and them some after that? All I want to do is make sure every animal feels love, safe and happy. I work 4, 10 hour days a week and 3 days off. I can easily squeeze in multiple drop ins, walks, and house sitting on my days off which are Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays. Even a small overnight could be possible. I also work from home often. Sundays are my guaranteed work from home day so I can find drop in or walk times. As well as house sitting on Sundays! Saturdays, I’m off earlier, clock out by 6:30, so I can definitely squeeze in a night drop in or 2. Monday’s and Tuesdays are my “in office all day” days so I wouldn’t be able to do anything those 2 days, but every other day, I can work something out no problem! I try my best to not break their routine. I have a pretty good understanding of animal body language and I can tell when they are stressed or overwhelmed. Me being a stranger to them, can already have them slightly stressed. So the best thing I can do for them is to continue doing what they already know.

“Katie is wonderful! I loved getting an update and picture of Henry when she visited him. It’s so nice having a reliable petsitter. I will definitely ask Katie to take care of my boy again!”


“Jora was wonderful to work with! I will definitely use her again. She was timely, communicative, and loved on my sweet senior angel baby! Even keen enough to put a smaller treat away before she left so Penny wasn’t unsupervised with it. Would definitely recommend to anyone!!”


“Rachel is amazing. She is great with our dog and our cat and sat for us for an extended period of time. She left us feeling certain that our pets and house were well looked after. We will definitely use her again. Thanks Rachel!!!”
