“Sarah was so great, she gave detailed updates and lots of pictures every drop in for my kitty. You can tell she cares if about the animals and their well being, and goes above and beyond.”
“Rebooked with Sam for the 3rd time! Grateful she was available again and will continue to use her for our boys! Last time our cat Gary was disappointed when we walked in the door and not Sam. 😂”
“Once again our boy loved to see his friend Veronika while we went on our honeymoon! While we were out, our barcart broke due to the weight of something we had put on it and she let us know right away and cleaned up the broken glass to keep our boy safe. He can't wait to see her again!”
“Julie was very professional and sent us pictures as well as detailed information about how her drop in with our dog went! We would definitely reach out to Julie should we need help with our dog in the future!”

“Amanda was the very best! This was our first time needing to provide care for our fur babies that were outside our family and friends circle. Amanda took extra care of our senior chihuahua to ensure she would eat her meals. We found the perfect pet sitter for future needs. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have a deep genuine love for all animals. I absolutely love dogs, I have experience with big overly energetic dogs and small ones as well. I’m very energetic, caring and compassionate so I know your pet will enjoy it’s time with me. I like to stay fit so walking with your pet won’t just be a job but a fun enjoyable activity. I have a lot of patience with dogs and cats. I have cat handling training and I also have my own 3yr old cat. I have a free schedule I’m very understanding and flexible when it comes to time and availability. I’m a naturally caring and nurturing person so giving your pet any type of special care won’t be a problem for me.
“Anna has been amazing to coordinate with and scheduling drop in visits on our 4 month old puppy during our long work days. She is excellent with communicating with us and has made us feel completely safe with entrusting the care of our puppy to her. We will continue to use Anna for our future pet care needs.”
“Megan is great! She is awesome with our big guy Moose. We have used her several times while out of town and I know he’s in good hands with her services. She’s prompt for drop ins, sends detailed messages and genuinely cares for our pet! I would definitely recommend her and we will be using her again!”
“Lauren is so fantastic! She is always on time, treats my dog like her own, and gives great reports & pictures at each visit. I highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs!!”
About: Hi, I’m Alek! I grew up alongside both dogs and cats, and now there’s no one I’d rather spend time with. I have lots of experience with dogs, ranging from young adults to seniors and everything in between. I’m particularly good with large pups, I had 4 German Shepherd Dogs throughout my childhood. I also have abundant experience with cats. On top of having an adorable kitty of my own (Stella), I used to help foster stray kittens and place their mothers in loving forever homes. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I have very open availability. Outside of Wednesdays I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking at any hour you may want or need. The only holiday I consistently travel for is Independence Day. My grandpa, a lifelong veterinarian, taught me the patience to take a moment and truly try to understand what our furry companions are telling us. They may not talk, but they are avid communicators. Also, as someone who has hired plenty of pet sitters, I know how important frequent updates are, so I will make sure to keep you posted as much as you want.
“Erin is always so wonderful with our greyhound Happy. She is kind and professional. I appreciate that she responds quickly and is often willing to help with short notice. Happy loves having Erin visit and take her for walk, feed her, and give her love and attention. I can confidently recommend Erin.”
About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs most of my life. My neighbors had 2 cats I used to watch and I would play with them, make sure their food and water is filled and empty the litterboxes. I'm currently working remotely and have the flexibility to fit varying needs upon request. In a workweek, ideally I'd like to limit services to dog walking or a drop in visit. On weekends I have more flexibility as I'm not working and can devote more time and attention to your pets so we're happy. I love being active and outside and my preferred form of service would be dog walking but also enjoy being inside with a pet too. I live in a condo, there is a lot of space to pet sit and I would like to know what your needs are before any boarding or sitting. I know an unfamiliar space can make some pets nervous, if house sitting or a drop in visit is preferred, I can also do that to make sure the pets are comfortable. During the work day, I would be able to take breaks every 2-4 hours to make sure attention is given the dog/cat and while working I'd keep an eye on them to make sure they're doing well. Every hour I like to take a short couple minute break and during this time, I'll play with your pet.
“Melanie is fantastic!! We are so grateful to have found her. One of our pups is on complex medications at the moment, which she handled with ease. She gave us thorough updates & gave our pups all the play time and love! We cannot wait to work with Melanie again!”
“Angela was AMAZING taking care of my 9 week old pup! We needed her to make two drop in visits while we were away for the day and she went above and beyond for our puppy. She spent extra time each visit, had no issues going to the hotel front desk to get a key for the room, and followed our special requests as our pup isn't fully vaccinated yet. She seems to really care for the animals she watches and our pup didnt even cry when she put her in her crate for nap time. We are so thankful, especially this being our first time using Rover, and definitely recommend Angela to other puppy and dog parents!”
