“Jackie was absolutely amazing when it came to watching my boys for the week of Thanksgiving. It was my first time using Rover and I was initially very nervous and stressed. Jackie arranged a time for us to meet each other and the cats before my trip and go over their needs in person. She came every day as arranged and sent pics to keep me updated. She also brought in our mail which was so kind and helpful! Highly recommend and would happily have her watch my boys again in the future!”
“Spencer did a great job of taking care of our cat and following the instructions we left for him. He communicated well throughout the entire time. He offered to come on an unscheduled day just so he could fix an error in our litter robot. We really appreciate his help and recommend him to other cat owners.”
“Thanks so much for taking great care of Avery and giving her lots of love!”
“Thank you!!”
“Tamara was friendly, engaging with the dogs and super communicative. We especially appreciated the quick text responses, pics of our pups and her flexibility - even on a holiday! The dogs were well taken-care-of in our hotel, while we enjoyed a nice Christmas dinner evening out. They were happy and content when we got back - a clear sign they enjoyed their time with her.”
“Super helpful! Took lots of photos and gave detailed updates! Also very flexible. My flight was canceled and I was super worried about my cat but she agreed to extend care at the last minute. So thankful!”
“Shirley was so great with my puppy! She was extremely responsive on the app and attentive to my dog during the drop in visit. She sends great recaps and pictures/videos of the visit. Couldn’t be nicer. I would 1000% recommend her”
“Anthony did a nice job taking care of our pups while we were away for a couple days. He sent photos and kept us updated during each required visit. Thank you, Anthony!”

About: I have experience overnight dog sitting for up to 2 weeks. I have owned dogs my whole life and love to go on walks, play with toys, and cuddle on the couch! I work from home 2-3 times a week, along with a very flexible work schedule and open weekends. I love to be outside and go for walks in my free time. I have a fenced in backyard if the dog came to my house. I also am okay with dogs sleeping in or out of the crate depending on their needs. I usually adapt to the dog’s schedule for bathroom, food, exercise, etc. I am very flexible.
“Erin was wonderful! We have a recently diagnosed diabetic cat and have been anxious about leaving the house. Erin came and met our cat ahead of time to learn his needs and was very thorough to make sure that she could take care of our sweet boy. We felt confident in her ability to administer an insulin injection to our cat, and our two other skittish cats even came out for her! She sent plenty of photos of the babies, was prompt with her arrival, and actively communicated with us leading up to and during her visit. We will absolutely book with Erin again and will recommend her to friends and family.”
About: I have had my dog for 4 years and have taken care of lots of different kinds of pets over the years. I am an athlete and well-equipt to make sure any active dog gets enough exercise while you are away. For pets with less active needs, I am happy to make them feel loved and cared for in other ways. I work from home with a flexible schedule so I am available throughout the day. I love being outside, meeting new pets, and breaking up my work-from-home schedule with some animal love. You will find me available most days and times during the week or on the weekend. My own dog is very active and needs lots of walks, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. I am used to providing this type of care and would love to share my time with your furry friend.
“Madison was great with my two cats! She was on time, spent time playing with my cats after feeding them, and gave detailed summaries of her visits. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
About: I have been around dogs since I was born. My family and I have owned 4 different dogs. From a pure German Shepard, to 3 mixed dogs with breeds such as Pitbull, Hound, Laborador and Rottweiler. I have helped walk and been a sitter to several family member, friends and neighbors' dogs. I have experience with puppies all the way to older dogs. I am currently in a doctorate program to become a Physical Therapist so my hours do vary. I am able to be flexible with times if given enough heads up on adjusting my schedule. I am more available on the weekends, but will try to make anything work! I have experience with what people consider to be more aggressive breeds, so I am able to read the body language of your dog easily to know if they feel safe around me or not. I will not force your dog to come near me or feel pressured in any way. I will do my best to make your dog feel comforted when around me by coming down to their level and letting them approach me when comfortable. Then provide belly rubs (of course!) once they feel safe!
About: I provide personalized, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs, specializing in small dogs. Your pup’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. I work from home, so I’m around most of the day. Pet care fits in easily with walks, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I make sure my home is safe and comfortable for your best friend. I supervise them very closely, keep things clean, and follow their routines.
About: Hi! I’m a RN looking to get my steps in and make your puppy’s life happy! I love animals and going on walks - perfect combo! I am in graduate school and have a flexible schedule! I am happy to work with you and make sure your pet gets the walk he/she deserves! I will work with you and follow your puppy’s routine to make sure that he/she is well looked after and comfortable! I think that is the most important
“Kalie is awesome and did such a great job with our cats. She is sweet, timely, and attentive to details. She was patient with me as my schedule changed. 10/10 I recommend her!”
“Mazey was wonderful! I was on a business trip and she came to the hotel a few times so my girls got to play, were walked and fed while I was at my conference. She was reliable, friendly, and great with the girls! I highly recommend!”
About: I have experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Starting with helping to take care of the family black lab from puppyhood through to old age, I moved on to petsitting for neighbors and friends who had dogs ranging from chihuahua to bull mastiff and everything in between. The safety and wellbeing of your dog is my number one priority, along with making sure that they get the fun and exercise they need daily. I treat every dog I meet the same way I would want a member of my family treated: with love and respect. In addition to dogs and cats, I also have experience with small mammals, fish, and reptiles so if you have any animals beyond your larger furry friends, I will likely be able to care for them as well. Despite working full-time, I still have plenty of flexibility to care for your animals. With working a regular and dependable M-F schedule, I have early mornings and evenings free every day and, location-dependent, can make midday lunchtime visits as well. You can feel comfortable knowing that your friend is never lonely and I always make up for longer time between visits with love and cuddles. In your home, I strive to keep your dog's routine as close as possible to what they are used to. With the anxiety they may feel not having you around, keeping what is comfortable and familiar is something I strive for to reduce some of that potential anxiety. In addition to keeping any existing routine, I love to take long walks, or whatever the dog can handle, as well as some at-home play. I also make it a point to always keep your home how you left it and clean up as needed.
“Palace was a wonderful pet sitter for our dog and two cats!!! Couldn’t have asked for better care for our pets. She was always attentive, accommodating, and communicative. She gave us peace of mind and got along very well with all the babies :)”

10. Erin A.
“Erin has 2 dogs of her own back home and she is one of the best dog owners I've seen! It's clear how much she loves them and how much she misses them when she's away. We always talk about our love for dogs and any time we pass a dog she is always hoping that she'll be able to pet him or her. Her love for animals (dogs especially) is so obvious and I would let her take care of my dog if I had one in a heartbeat!”
