“Really helpful with a last minute drop in visit for my cat! She seems to make Molly feel very safe and comfortable even though she’s a nervous cat. Caitlin provided great updates!”


“Janet was great in memorial weekend, she really help us and took great care of our dogs Rocco and penny Would 100% recommend Thank you!!”


“Brianna is great with our pookies. I highly recommend her.”


“Dominique did an incredible job checking in on and taking care of my sweet cats. She was very responsive and helped me out with last minute booking. She sent me daily updates and was very kind. Will definitely book again!”


“Thank you for taking care of Leo.”


“I'm so glad I found Hana, she's been a godsend! Relocating to a new place and immediately starting a new job, it's fair to say my girls were completely discombobulated and wondering what happened to their charmed life and all the people they knew. I touched base with Hana on Rover my first week. She immediately responded and we set up daily walks. It took them a bit to warm up, but she's quickly become a friend they anticipate seeing! Hana keeps in good contact, is punctual, sends pics and info, and the girls are super excited when she arrives. Thanks so much Hana for making their transition to our new life a little easier!”



“We have booked Stefanie for two separate trips so far and each time has been wonderful. She is so sweet and gentle in her interactions with our kitty. She's reliable and thorough in following medication instructions, and she leaves detailed summaries and photos for each visit. I am so thankful we found Stefanie, and she will be our first choice any time we need a pet sitter going forward!”


“Chris was awesome with our dog. He made all his trips and it was clear that Ellie was very well taken care of when we got home. We plan to rebook him again.”


“Great job, super sweet to my pup!”


“WOW!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! You have got to call Heather for your pet care needs! This was our very first experience with pet sitters and we unanimously voted Heather as our permanent caregiver for our cats and dogs! During the meet and greet, our pets, who are usually iffy around strangers, peacefully gathered around her. Trust was quickly established. Heather is warm, kind, super fun, amazing personality, and very knowledgeable about pet care. She knows exactly what to do. Besides, it was a treat meeting her extremely adorable daughter Aliya. What a team! Guaranteed amazing pet care service - Call Heather now!”


“Had a wonderful experience with Nancy and our two cats. This was our first time using Rover and she was gracious and patient enough to help us get everything ready. Our youngest cat usually is very stressed after we return home from being out of town. He was very sweet and happy. They both were calm and not stressed out at all.”


“Heather took excellent care of our senior dog. We will definitely use her services again.”


“Melissa was amazing and my dog Mo loved her! She not only walked and fed him, but gave him lots of cuddles and love. I trust Melissa and will be using her again! Thank you!”

About: For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to adopt every animal from every shelter ... one day! I have been told that I am an animal whisperer. I am up for any job put in front of me whether that be your dog needs training, medication, lots of love, or play time, I’m your gal! My experience includes working with dogs of all ages and sizes! I work full-time as a social worker, but am done each day by 3:45pm! If your pet loves car rides, they are always welcome to join me if I’m out and about. I know of many trails for walks, if the dog is allowed. I am more than happy to have a snuggle bug on the couch with me, unless they are not allowed then of course I will not let them. And, your pet may or may not come home with a new toy haha!

“Oh my gosh, I just have to shout out Tatum! She was absolutely amazing with my fur babies. She kept me updated with the cutest photos and messages throughout the day, showing so much love and attention. If you're looking for someone who treats your pet well and provides exceptional care, Tatum is the best. I can't recommend her enough—five stars all the way!”


About: I’ve taken care of my pets and friends’ pets for the last few years whenever they have needed it. Mainly walking, drop in visits, and occasional pet sitting. I love playing with pets if they are playful! I currently work from home so it’s fairly easy for me to take my lunch break or mornings to give some extra attention to your pets. I am not able to currently care for pets in my own home, however I’ll be able to tend to your pets in your home however you’d like. I have experience in dog, cat, and bird care so I’ll be able to adjust to your pets needs.

“GREAT experience with Jackson! Our camera caught you playing with our cats. And thank you for cleaning their litter boxes and adding water. Would recommend and hire again!”
