“Jennifer took care of our 4 babies by drop in visits and we couldn't be happier. She came over a few days before the scheduled care to meet them and we could tell it was going to be a great fit, they were comfortable with her right away and so were we. We will definitely call on Jennifer for all of our pet sitting needs and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Kathy is the ideal sitter for our cat - caring, prompt, following his twice daily feeding needs & preferences, providing play time for him.. and bonding well. Best of all were the photos she sent at each visit, giving us daily laughs and smiles at his antics and cute poses she captured. Thank you, Kathy! Hope you’re available next time!”
“Kathleen is an excellent communicator & very reliable! She's the best cat sitter we've found on Rover. Highly recommend & will request booking with her again.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn't have been happier with the service and my sitter. Nicole took such loving care of my two cats and even went above and beyond to help bring my trash, water my plant and bring in my mail while I was on a prolonged trip. My very shy cats even came out eventually due to her gentle coaxing. So pleased with her and will use her again in the future.”
About: I am experienced with sick animals as well as healthy dogs and cats. I am a available for drop ins, long walks and house sitting. Evenings and week ends. Depends on the week. I only take assignments that I can comfortably fulfill . I try to meet all my clients needs. I am trustworthy and always go above and beyond. Animals love me and I connect every easy with them. I am committed, loving, dependable and always on time.
“Lisa is AMAZING! My cat actually came out of hiding for her and didn’t go on a hunger strike like usual. I will be asking for her help again for sure! I’m new to the area and was a little nervous but as soon as I met her I had good vibes and no worries while I was out of town.”
“Mikaela was great with Athena and Little Bit! This is the first time a new person has interacted with our girls since we have had them. She made friends with them and judging from their reaction when I came home they looked forward to her daily visits.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, I love them all. I’ve helped friends and family with their fur babies on several occasions; cats and dogs of different sizes. Walking, cleaning up after, feeding, playing with and all kinds of cuddles. I am currently available most always to care for your pets. I’d like a days notice for most scheduling but you can contact me anytime and most likely will be available on short notice I do have doggie doors and a privacy fence but my fur baby is 11 and likes her alone time so I’d prefer to care for yours at your home and follow any instructions you have and i would always walk them on a leash outside of the property.
“Tina was amazing! She took care of Martin like her own. We had her do a few drop ins while out of town and she kept us in the loop the entire time. She even offered to check on our pup when our flight was delayed. Tina made me feel like I could put my phone down and not worry if Marty was going to be taken care of. I definitely recommend Tina for your pet sitting needs.”
“Stephanie goes out of her way to make sure things go smoothly. Knowing our fur baby was in good hands made it easier to leave her. I appreciated the updates and photos I received. I highly recommend her. Thanks Stephanie!”
About: I will not only care for your pets, but love them as my own! I’ve always had pets growing up and have always helped family and friends when in need of care for their furry companions🐾 I’m working part time, with a few days off in between, so that’ll give me a few days to spend and dedicate to your pups! I will be more than glad to keep you updated by sending photos and/or videos while doing some drop in visits or during our lil adventure walks🌱
“Stephanie is top notch! She cares VERY much for animals which is obvious from minute she meets them throughout time she pet sits. She kept us updated via text (our request). Even brought in our flag when bracket broke had on garage wall outside. We will DEFINITELY keep using Stephanie and highly recommend for pet care 🐾”
About: 🐶1.5 acres fenced in yard. 🐶Veterinary assistant background. 🐶Low volume boarding/daycare. 🐶Licensed and insured. Pet first aid and CPR certified. Compassionate, reliable, responsible and patient....your pets home away from home. We have lots of room to run and play and explore, and they are always supervised. We have a pool if your dog likes water, and again, they will always be supervised if they do like to swim. We have a separate fenced in play area for smaller and older dogs when we have higher energy dogs here. It's always better to be safe than sorry. Safety is my top priority here. PLEASE READ ALL!! I always require a meet and greet and a paid trial daycare assessment and for any stays over 2 nights, I also require a paid overnight. The safety and comfort of your dog is my top priority and I want them to be happy here. These assessments tell me alot about your dog and how they will be with us. I look forward to meeting you and your pets. I can't wait to love and spoil them. This is my full-time job, so I will be home and have lots of time to spoil and love on your pets while they are with me. I will love them just like my own. They will enjoy lots of outdoor time in our fenced yard (weather permitting). They will be getting lots of belly rubs and scritches if they like that. Basically, when they are with me they get spoiled and catered to. We have a safe and secured fenced in 1.5 acres, with lots of room to run, play and just lay in the sun. They will always be supervised while outside. I will go over their typical home routine with you so I can stay as close to what they are used to when they are here.
About: I have always had dogs and cats in my household. I worked as a veterinarian assistant when I was younger now I am a retired teacher and I have a 13 year-old diabetic dog that I give insulin shots to twice a day and an 18-year-old cat that always needs special attention. I would love to help you with your pets!!! Since being retired, I would be available most likely whenever you need me…. ready to greet your pets with a calm and loving manner and spend time with them feed them whatever it is that you need. I am available to come to your house and care for your pets while you are working!!!:) I would be able to feed water walk and play and give lots of love to your animals!!!
About: I have been around my family's pets since birth-dogs of all sizes and cats-but my journey with caring for them began when I was 14. I helped birth, raise, and train three litters of great dane puppies over the course of a few years and have loved and advocated for them ever since. I still petsit the dogs in my family household in their senior years. I understand that all animals have unique body language and I strive to pay great attention to this. As a house and petsitter, I will always adhere to your personal advice, if you have it: how to interpret your dogs' unique behavior, how to engage with their personality, and how to make them the most comfortable. I also trust my intuition and will always prioritize their safety. I look forward to being a great friend and caregiver to your furbabies! I am a student; From January to March I attend physical classes two days a week and I will be available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fri/Sat/Sun. I cannot care for pets in my own home, however, I will travel up to an hour to care for them in your home. I have a driver's license and vehicle. I will provide the play and exercise per your pet's individual needs, feed them and keep water fresh, administer medication if needed per your instructions, and drive them to their favorite park or vet appointments.
About: I have been around pets of all kinds since I was 4 years old. I’ve taken care of kittens, adult cats, puppies, adult dogs of all breeds, pigs, chickens, rabbits, turtles, fish, and even crabs! 😂 My neighbors have always relied on me to watch their various types of pets while they are away. This is what led me here! I have moved and am looking for some new opportunities! I work almost 40 hours a week at my part-time job. I could have two days a week completely open. Most days I don’t go in until the afternoon and I am never off later than 9:30. I also typically have hour lunch breaks. If you decide I’m the right match for you, just know that while my schedule may be unpredictable, I always get my schedule a week and a half to two weeks ahead of time. My puppy honestly lives in the house as if she owns the place! She is absolutely the biggest sweetheart and veryyyy spoiled! I love to love on dogs, give them treats for tricks, getting physical exercise in and out of the house, and especially snuggling! (When I know the dog and the owners are okay with that of course). However, I also have no problem sticking to their everyday schedule (if they have one). I can feed, walk, and crate your pet as scheduled. Honestly I’m just such an animal lover, nothing involving the care of animals bothers me. I believe it is our duty to return the unconditional love and support our pets provide us with!

Tammy W.
“I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Tammy Wilson, an outstanding individual whose dedication to animal welfare has left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know her. I have had the pleasure of knowing Tammy for the past six years, during which time I have witnessed her unwavering commitment to the well-being of animals. Tammy has consistently gone above and beyond, working with various groups to foster and place animals in need. Her sincere generosity and compassion extend not only to her own four dogs and two elderly cats but also to countless other animals she has helped along the way. Tammy is a responsible and caring pet owner, as evidenced by the superb care her animals receive. I have personally visited her home on several occasions and can attest to the love and attention each of her pets enjoys. Tammy is proactive in seeking veterinary care, ensuring that all routine appointments are diligently attended to. As someone with nearly 40 years of experience in owning, breeding, and showing top Whippet show dogs, I can confidently say that Tammy's commitment to the well-being of animals is unparalleled. She currently cares for three Whippets, courtesy of myself, and a fabulous Australian Shepherd. In summary, I wholeheartedly believe that Tammy Wilson would be a tremendous asset to any team of animal lovers. Her experience, genuine love for animals, and responsible approach to pet care make her an exceptional candidate. I highly recommend Tammy without reservation and am confident that she will bring enthusiasm, dedication, and a wealth of knowledge to any role she undertakes. Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information.”
