Laura was wonderful with our little dog who is nervous around new people. She immediately warmed up to Laura. We received many photos and regular updates while we were away and returned to a happy dog and clean home.

Words can not express my gratitude. I am eternally thankful. Donna becomes one of my family. My animals loved her and wanted to be around with her. I have 4 cats and one dog. Two cats are very sick. One with a heart murmur and another with diabetes and pancreatic abcess. They need constant care, medications, insulin shots, and heart murmur shots twice a day. I thought we would never find anyone willing to be with 5 animals and take care of sick cats with medications and shots 24/7. But , luckily, we found Donna. She retired pharmacists, and she did everything like most animal caretakers would not. Make no reservation. Donna is simply the best. We couldn't possibly even dream about anyone can handle this with such a care and dedication. We have contacted many Rover Stars, but they didn't even come close to our very complicated demands, but Donna not just did what she was ased for but exceeded all our expectation. She is the dream come true for any cats or dog owners!

Caroline was a great pet sitter! The dogs were happy and the house was spotless when we got home from our trip. Appreciate all her hard work, even taking the dogs outside during a snowstorm! Planning to hire again immediately. Highly recommended.

Anna took excellent care of our two cats and home! She followed all instructions exactly as we left them, sent lots of updates and photos, and left our home in absolutely perfect shape. We're thankful for not being worried at all about our cats and home while we were away on a short trip and would love to book with Anna again in the future!

As always Tater Tot was so happy to see Charlene which makes us feel better about having to leave him. She provided lots of wonderful communication through Rover pictures and messages to let us know how he was doing while we were away. Charlene is magnificent and we are so thankful for her!

Audrey took great care of my dog, spent time playing with her, and made sure she got outside and exercised. She was also able to accommodate a same-day request when I was in a pinch, which was very helpful and much appreciated. Overall, a positive experience.

About: Hi! I've been around animals my whole life, and caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I've owned and loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid, and that lifelong experience shows in how I care for every animal I meet. What really sets me apart is my background in pet care and dog training. I graduated from Norfolk County Agricultural High School, where I took many animal science courses. I took classes in canine behavior, pet shop management, and animal science. I learned how to handle, groom, and care for dogs of all breeds, through hands-on experiences. I bring patience, knowledge, and lots of love to every pet I care for. I am college student spending the rest of my summer from July 8 until August 22 at home. This means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m already helping my family take care of our own dog, so adding more pets to my routine fits in perfectly! I am available Monday through Friday and am very flexible throughout the day, so I can easily accommodate different schedules and needs. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I stay in tune with how they are feeling, making sure they’re well-fed, clean, healthy, and getting plenty of rest and outdoor time. At home, I provide a pet-friendly environment. I’m also lucky to live next to a reservation with trails, open fields, and ponds and streams perfect for dogs who love to explore nature. I enjoy taking pets on these little adventures to keep them active and mentally stimulated. When it comes to pet care, I always treat each animal as if they were my own.

Isabella is amazing! She got back to us so fast and was willing to watch Cali last minute for us for 6 days. This was our first time leaving Cali with someone other than family and you could tell by all the photos Cali had the best week! She was so loved and cared for! Isabella sends photos/updates daily that gave us confidence Cali was in the best hands. We already have plans to have Isabella watch Cali again soon! Highly highly recommend Isabella, would give 10 stars if we could!

Sara took wonderful care of Charlie and I would certainly leave him with her again. Even though he can be shy, Charlie took to Sara the first time he met her which put me right at ease. It was easy to communicate with her and it was so nice to receive pictures of them together. When I returned it was obvious that Charlie was well taken care of and that my condo was left as clean and neat as I left it!!

Caroline is a total superstar! We hired Caroline to watch our puppy, Rogers, over Super Bowl weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Rogers is a high-energy ball of hyper puppy power, but Caroline handled them like a seasoned pro. Here’s why they are the best: Punctuality: Caroline actually arrived early to make sure they had the lay of the land before we left. Communication: They were incredibly easy to coordinate with and super responsive from start to finish. Peace of Mind: We loved the frequent photo updates and check-ins! It was so reassuring to see Rogers having a blast while we were out. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and great with energetic dogs, book Caroline. Rogers is already looking forward to their next "vacation" with Caroline!

About: I grew up surrounded by 3 dogs all throughout my childhood. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages as well as rabbits. I have experience in elderly dog care as I had taken care of my elderly dog, helping him stand and ensuring medications were given on time. I have two adoring kittens who I’ve raised from 4weeks old, i’ve had cats all while growing up. I can do deep litter box cleanings if asked. I strive to not only meet your needs and make you happy but also ensure your pet is happy and feels loved under my care. I work early mornings and get out at 2pm at the latest, meaning I have the majority of the day to be able to walk, play, and spend time with your pet(s). We can soak up the sunshine and they’ll always get dinner on time. I love to play with your pets, ensuring they get their energy out and have a good time. I love to go on walks with your dog or play with them in a yard.

Very attentive and communicative, she understands directions well and clearly enjoys cats. She has some conflicts with her schedule as she is a student but overall, I would hire her again.

Sam did a great job looking after our kitties while we were away for the weekend. She's been so great for drop-ins, but this is the first time we've ever had someone stay overnight with them. One of our kitties is particularly attached to us and gets anxious when he's alone, even with his sister around, so Sam made him feel more comfortable and confident while we were away. She had great communication and made sure to send over photos each day. We would definitely book with her again!

Savanna is a gem! We are so fortunate to have found and met her through Rover. She stayed with our three-yes, 3! English labs and one special little fish for seven nights. We came home to find them all very happy and clearly well taken care of. Plus our house looked like no one had been here, but better! She is a reliable, thoughtful, and warm caretaker.
