“Katie is excellent! She clearly cares about animals and is very knowledgeable about their care. She even alerted me to suspicious activity in my neighborhood, cleaned up an accident, and made sure to check on all 4 of my kitties, including the boy who constantly hides and runs from people. I appreciate her help so much and would recommend her to anyone!!!! Thank you Katie for caring for my babies as if they were yours!!!”


“Excellent service. She even did more than what we asked her for like walks, and taking care of our other pet, she even printed a photo collage and put it in our fridge with a magnet.”


“Mandy was so great! We loved the pic updates. It was our first time using rover and the updates gave us reassurance that our fur babies were in good hands and being taken care of. We were so grateful tht she was able to extend our booking and allow us to enjoy a couple more days on a much needed vacation ! Would def recommend and rebook in the future. Thanks again Mandy !”


“If you want to feel good about leaving your pets behind when away then Jada is the person! She went above and beyond for my pets. She spent a lot of time with them and provided extra love and attention! Highly recommended ?????”


“Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!”


About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.

“Meghan was the absolute best. She communicated well and we felt our cats were in the best hands. Our own cat needs medicine twice daily and she was able to give that to him with no issues. We loved all the visit pictures and updates!!”

“Angelina is always wonderful with our animals! She is always attentive, reliable, and clearly cares about our pets like her own. We always get regular updates and photos, which gives us so much peace of mind while we are away. Highly recommend and will always book with her!”


About: I have cared for many animals over the past 18 years while managing a pet resort. I have also walked dogs during my lunch hour. I recently retired after 18 years in veterinary medicine and managing pet resort. I have always loved animals and have 6 dogs of my own. I have a 6 foot fenced yard and have 6 dogs of my own. My dogs are dog friendly and go to daycare often and play.

“Rachel took great care of our 2 kitties! She played with the friendly one and found the shy one hiding! She even went the extra mile and untangled one of our cat's favorite toys that was horribly knotted. Would recommend her for your cats too!”



“Emily was so awesome with my 2 cats. She always kept me informed on how they were and she even cleaned up their messes. She took time to come do a meet and greet prior. Highly recommend!”
