“I have used this app throughout the years and Nicholas is by far THE BEST! He is reliable, on time, communicates very well and leaves no trace. As a matter of fact, he left our place looking better than it was when we went away. Most importantly, our dog and cat were calm and happy - they were definitely in good hands. We recommend Nicholas and hope he is available for our family again in the future.”
“Lillie stayed with my two dogs in our home for 10 days . She came over to meet them and again right before we left . Her communication prior to us leaving and while we were gone ,was awesome. She also accommodated big changes to our plans . The dogs did great and she sent pictures which made me happy ! This is my first experience with Rover and leaving someone I had just met with "my kids". Lillie did a great job. I would recommend her and will use her again .”
“I loved having Daizee stay with our animals! She didn’t force my cats to come out their shells but completely embraced my dog wanting to be her bestie! She stayed at house for 3 days while we went out of state and sent at least 3 pictures a day and updating us! I was Nervous leaving my dogs over the 4th of July since she get extra nervous but my dog was o comfortable with her it wasn’t a big deal at all!”
“Kat sent so many pictures and videos of my sweet Winnie. I am confident that Winnie got lots of attention and had all of her needs met while I was away. Highly recommend!”

However, my passion doesn't stop there. I also love animals! I was born and raised with cats and dogs throughout my whole life. When caring for your dog or cat I treat them with love and care as if they were my own. I love giving lots of ear scratches and belly rubs along with taking them outdoors on walks. I feel better being in the outdoors hiking and if your loved one does too, I'd love to share my passion with them. I love animals of all ages and sizes.

I’m employed with the state and have passed all background checks. I will protect your fur baby as if one of my own.

“Anissa was awesome! She stayed at our house and took care of our dog and 2 cats. Communication was super easy, and she sent updates with photos. She even took our pup to the obedience class, that she’s enrolled in, so she didn’t miss it! Couldn’t have asked for a easier experience for our first time booking a house sitter through Rover.”
“We had Morgan housesit with our 2 large dogs for nearly a week. Leading up to our vacation, Morgan was very communicative and was able to come over to meet our dogs and get a quick tour/overview of our place. While we were gone, I received several updates from her with pictures showing that our pups were happy and healthy. And when we returned home, I could tell it had been well-cared for as it was as spotless as we had left it! I can't tell you what a relief it was to be able to let our pups stay home with lots of love at home rather than having to drop them off at a kennel. I will be keeping Morgan on my list for future trips and will happily recommend her to family and friends who need her services!”

Rachell P.
“Rachell watched our 3 dogs when we visited family in Kentucky. Only asked her to let em out a few times a day to potty and eat but she went above our expectations and played with them, was very attentive and gave us a breakdown of their moods and behavior while we were away. So lucky to have her nearby (Rachell is noticeably an avid animal lover). Though I did get a little jealous when the dogs weren't overly excited when we got home. They definitely hadn't been starved for attention!”
