Kathy W was one of the nicest, caring people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Her promptness and obvious caring for my MewMew was truly reassuring and put me at ease. The daily pictures and updates were greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care. She is truly an asset and wonderful representative of rover.com. Thank you so much.

We had a great experience with Andrea. She was incredibly thorough, detail-oriented, and clearly took the time to make sure everything was handled exactly how we like it. Most importantly, Suma really enjoyed her and had a great time playing. She was always prompt and communicative, sending lots of updates, photos, and messages during her visits—which I know many pet owners will really appreciate. You can tell she genuinely cares and puts in the extra effort. She’s newer to Rover, but you wouldn’t know it from the level of care and professionalism she brings. We’d absolutely book her again!

Brittany so great with Roxie and Ellie. It was great to see pictures everyday and know that they were being taken such good care of. Brittany made sure that all their needs were fulfilled and that they were happy. I would recommend Brittany to take care of your fur babies anytime. Will definitely use her Services again. Job well done.

About: I care about them as if they were my own. They don't live as long as humans so they deserve the best life we can give them while they're here. The only experience and knowledge I have of dogs and cats is what I've learned on my own with my pets throughout my life. I don't have a job so my availability is mostly flexible. Looking for extra money, I don't have any special skills I just need extra money and love dogs and cats. The only thing I can think of that puts me apart from other services/sitters is the desire and drive to complete any task, besides my love for pets, I have a great work ethic that helps me be motivated to ensure every step was taken in completing a task. Money is also a great motivator but isn't the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life", that's a great interpretation of my work ethic. I'm currently unemployed. I usually have availability on Saturday, and Sunday. If I am available during the weekend I will update my schedule, otherwise that's my availability. I cannot offer boarding in my home because I live in an apartment where each pet in my home needs to be paid for and accounted for by my apartment management but I will treat your animals and living spaces like royalty and respect all responsibilities asked of me while I care for your pets in your home.

Naomi is absolutely amazing, she is kind, honest and trustworthy! She went above and beyond in the best possible ways for me and my family. We were in a difficult situation with our mother needing to leave her pets and go for temporary healthcare after suffering a stroke, Naomi made the pet care for the cats and dog in every way easier for us with no worries on their care and attention.

Corey has been a godsend for our new pup Chloe. We were worried about how she would do with a stranger bc she is very timid, but Corey proved to be a dog whisperer and she took right to him like he was part of her family. Can't express how lucky we were to find such a great guy that clearly loves animals..10 out of 10 would recommend to everyone.

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.

About: Over the years, I have cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior pets needing special attention. I am highly comfortable with: Administering oral medications Managing leash pullers on walks Crater training and housebreaking routines Caring for anxious or shy pets I have worked as a vet tech and have done grooming. I also have done prior training and have shown my babies in Akc fun rally and obedience shows. I am a early retired per enthusiast. I find animals are the best therapy for a relaxing lifestyle. When your pet is with me, their safety and happiness are my top priorities. For Dog Walking: We will explore safe, dog-friendly routes, practice good leash manners, and get plenty of fresh air. I always bring fresh water, waste bags, and treats (if allowed!). For Pet Sitting: I stick strictly to your established feeding, potty, and playtime schedules to keep your pet's stress levels low while you are away. I understand how hard it is to leave your pets behind. I promise to send you daily photo and video updates so you always know how they are doing. Ensuring your pet gets plenty of direct attention and supervision are always my goals. I look forward to giving your pets the same love, care, and respect I would give my own!

Jessica did an incredible job watching our cats and keeping our house in shape! When we take trips, our cats tend to decimate everything and it was great to know Jessica was not only easing our worry, but keeping our cats safe and entertained!
