“Erica was fantastic! I trust her so much with my cat, Smudge who was happy and well cared for when I returned from my trip. Erica was communicative and understanding.”


“Elaine was a great dog sitter. Very thorough with details about our fur babies while we were away. She was also very loving with our pups which made me feel that they were in good hands and being well looked after. Came home to happy pups very satisfied with the service as a first time user of Rover. I will definitely use Elaine again anytime we are in need of a dog sitter. Thanks again Elaine ???.”


“Patrick is so amazing. I am very grateful for his help with taking care of my pup. He is so flexible and accommodating with scheduling. My dog absolutely loves him.”


“We always appreciate everything Monica does for us and our 2 cats. She is responsible, trustworthy and friendly. We like that she will leave different lights on in our house so it will appear that someone is home. Thanks again, Monica!”


“Lucy was awesome with Lola. It was very comforting to me to know that she was home being taken care of while I had to be away. I’ll never use a kennel again after our experience with Lucy! She’s a wonderful young lady, and will definitely contact her again in the future.”


About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent, caring for animals is truly one of my greatest joys. I currently share my home with two lovable pups, and I’m also a proud grandparent to three grand-doggies and one grand-kitten—yes, it's a full and furry family! With years of personal experience and a genuine passion for animals, I bring both heart and hands-on knowledge to every walk and pet check-in. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, including senior dogs needing a little extra love—whether it’s administering medications, helping with mobility, or just providing that gentle, loving presence they deserve. Before diving into pet care full-time, I was an elementary school teacher, which means patience, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own—with kindness, care, and lots of tail wags! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! Currently, I am available for drop ins and walks two times per day. This summer, my schedule is far more open and could easily fit additional times, as needed. I would follow whatever directions/guidelines are provided for me so that your pet(s) routines are kept as close to what they are used to as possible.

“She took very good care of my fur babies while we where gone! We didn’t have great cell service while camping but we didn’t have to worry knowing they where being cared for!”


“Christie was absolutely amazing with Kitty. She brushed her and gave her lots of attention. Kitty really enjoyed Christie’s company. I would definitely have her come in and watch kitty and my dogs. She gave me peace of mind leaving Kitty for 9 days. Thank you Christie.”


“Fiery was great all around, seemed to really care about our fluffy guy and communicated everything with us the entire time we were gone. Would highly recommend her to anyone in need of drop in visits as she gives you lots of details and really cares about the visits and schedule you set up.”


“I am truly so grateful to have Valarie to help take care of my dogs when I’m away at work. She has been a perfect fit. She has not only been amazing with my fur babies, but to me as well. She has been communicative, more than accommodating with my changing schedule as a healthcare provider, trustworthy, and reliable. She has made me feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend her!”


“We are so appreciate of Mindy’s great care while we were gone. Her experience and knowledge gave us true peace of mind and her communication about the visits was a wonderful bonus. We traveled home knowing everything was well - we found happy pets and a cleaner-than-necessary home! We will certainly use Mindy’s services again.”


“wonderful job once again. Second time I’ve used Alyssa and my cat Max has already started accepting her. He is normallyquite picky and usually afraid of everyone.”


“Alessia was great and took fantastic care of my cat Mabel for the two weeks I was gone! She sent so many cute photos of her playing with Mabel and kept her super active and happy. Alessia is a lovely young lady and I will definitely be going to her for the next time I need cat sitting :)”


“Melissa is the best! My schedule can be a little unpredictable and Melissa has been so understanding and flexible! I really appreciate being able to enjoy my trip trusting my cat is being well taken care of and is having fun!”


“Mariah was amazing!!!! She used the app to its fullest potential and kept me informed of my dogs food breaks, potty breaks, walks, etc. I knew exactly when the dogs were being cared for and she was very communicative. I know my pups would be happy to see her again! I highly recommend Mariah”


“We officially hired David on rover and as always everything was great. The cats love him and were all so happy. Everything was taken care of properly and as asked. Can’t recommend enough. I also appreciate that there is no extra charge for having more than one cat. It’s never made sense to me that I have to pay someone coming into my home for the same half hour block of time more just because we have more than one pet. Thanks so much!”


“Isabella was great with Maverick. Helped me out with a last minute add on booking as well, and gave me more updates than just the Rover card about how he was doing.”


About: I have had pets ever since I was 3 years old, I am now 19 and have lots of experience with taking care of them. I have also trained my dogs with the basics like, potty training, any tricks, simple house training etc. I am very experienced to take wonderful care of your fur babies and their needs. With my own pets I take care of them morning to night. I am home most of the time so I do spend time with them a lot but when I do leave my house I make sure they went outside before leaving and have plenty of water and food while I am gone. I always walk the dogs, follow any instructions that's given to me for the dogs care, eating habits, wash days, times to go out, and everyday I play with my own dogs keeping them active running around the yard and having plenty of toys. I also tidy up the house, sometimes with our fur babies the house can be a mess with toys all over and them shedding all the time so I can to provide that for you.

“Celine was great! She did everything we talked about in our meet and greet and maintained excellent communication. I was able to relax on my trip and not have to worry how my cat was doing at home”
