About: I’ve loved and cared for a variety of animals throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, a parakeet, hamsters, gerbils, rats, ferrets, fish, a bearded dragon, and a red tail boa. I LOVE animals. When I was a kid I would even spend my weekends at our local pet shop holding and playing with their animals. I am a mother of two teenagers, and have been a small business owner, so I am extremely responsible, reliable, caring, attentive to detail, and have the skills to do anything necessary to care for your pets. I am available most of the time, and my time is flexible. I recently sold my half of my small business and am now taking some time for myself (that I want to fill with animals!), so I am almost always available and flexible. We have a fenced in yard, but we also live in a beautiful historic neighborhood and love taking walks around the neighborhood and to the park as often as possible.
“Great! I needed a dog walker unexpectedly and she responded immediately and walked my (very hard to manage) large puppy. I got a nice picture of my sweet and worn out puppy after her walk.”

“Marisha has taken care of our 3 cats several times. She is conscientious and excellent at comminicating. She has also been willing to feed community cats (at our request) that stop by. She has gone above and beyond on a couple of occasions. I will hire her again.”

“Yolena was incredibly helpful and left robust notes at the end of her visit that left me feeling sure that my baby was well-taken care of. She communicated well and even helped with mail without being asked. Would highly recommend Yolena to any pet parent!”

“She was amazing! Ivy can be a little bratty, but Emma was awesome and got her to warm up quickly! Will definitely rebook with her!!! Always prompt, kind, and caring!!!”

“Brooke was great! She came to meet the girls a few weeks in advance and the girls loved her right away. Poor Brooke was being tackled by them! Brooke was very responsive and kept us in the loop while we were gone with several photos. Really appreciated Brookes flexibility and willingness to meet out needs. Thanks Brooke and can’t wait to book you again.”

“Mariah not only ease my concerns and stress; she was also so loving to my Queenie. This was Queenie and I first time and I highly recommend her. Queenie loved her and gained a new friend😊 will return in the future.”

“Bradley is reliable and a great communicator, and he even brought in a package off our porch! It puts my mind at ease knowing that our young dog is not alone for long stretches and can stay home instead of going to daycare before she’s ready.”

“Rachael was a breeze to coordinate with and clearly cared for my pups like they were her own. She kept me updated throughout, which gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

“Britany is the best! She is great with my cat Pierre and always sends the cutest pictures of him. He’s very comfortable with her! She is very reliable, trustworthy and friendly overall.”

“Brittany took excellent care of my kitties while I was away on a trip. My cats are usually shy of strangers but they seemed to be comfortable around her, which was really great. I would fully recommend her as a sitter for others based on my experience.”

About: I genuinely love & care for all fur-babies! I’ve owned 5 different dogs in my lifetime, & I’m extremely patient when it comes to all breeds. On the more obscure side of things, I’ve also worked with reptiles, birds, fish, & rodents! On the days I do not work my main job, this works as a great side hustle for me to pay for classes & to be able to afford personal items for myself! I will provide attentive service depending on the dog & their requirements. I also do not mind walking any dog for as long as needed & I’m close to parks where they will have lots of space to explore! I also have dog bones & other toys to keep them busy!
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10. I had 2 family dogs growing up, and I was the neighborhood dog sitter! I have lots of experience and I am eager to make your furry family feel safe and comfy while you’re away! I work a full time job, so I am pretty available on afternoons and weekends. Typically after 3:30 PM on the weekdays, and as all day on the weekends. I have a fenced in backyard with lots of land! I have a safe and clean home that is super cozy for our furry friends.
“Haley cared for my cat Pumpkin while I was away for a weekend. She was great with her - playing and cuddling and sending updates. I will happily ask Haley to come again :)”

“Shaelyn was very personable and I felt that I could trust my diabetic pet with her. She took great photos and gave updates on how things were going. When I got back, my cat seemed well taken care of and not as stressed as she usually is after I’ve been away on vacation.”

“We knew 5 minutes after Bri walked in for a meet and greet that our dogs would be in great hands!!! Our dog, Shiloh does NOT easily warm up to anyone very quickly but with Bri, it was almost immediate and she was snuggled up against her, enjoying being petted. Our cat also really liked her too. (And she really does not like ANY strangers!!) Bri is a very kind girl and very obviously great with animals!! We were VERY happy with Bri as a pet sitter and highly recommend her.”
Cornell Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our second time booking with Mercy. She’s extremely communicative and always makes sure we know what’s going on with our boys while we are away. She gives detailed visit notes and gives us pictures. She also blows us away every time by going over and above by sweeping/mopping after the dogs, taking out the trash, and even picking up around the house while she’s there. Absolutely the best sitter we’ve ever used, and will continue to be repeat customers.
