My first time ever using Rover and I feel I am spoiled with Hadija! She is magnificent at communicating and takes extra care of my one dog with severe anxiety. I can say enough about her.

I quickly rebooked Chloe for the holiday—she is phenomenal! She really does go above and beyond to make sure my cat is spoiled and loved while I am away, e.g., she surprised him with treats and made an extra drop-in on Christmas Day just to say hi! Chloe is attentive, respectful, and bubbly. I am very grateful to have met her and cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Chloe!

About: Hello there! My name is Ricki and I’m an experienced dog walker and former dog bather. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I understand the amount of trust it takes to let someone else care for your animal so I’ll always treat them as my own when caring for them. The goal is to earn not only the owners trust but the animals trust as well and in doing that, I understand that animals get attached just as much as we do so if it were to become a regular job, it wouldn’t be a problem. Your furry friends deserve nothing short of the best and that’s what I’ll provide! I work from home so I’ll always be able to provide the extra attention and loving your pet needs. Not to mention sending you pet selfies to ease your mind knowing they’re in great hands! I have an open layout apartment on the first floor which is easily accessible for pets. Please note: I do not allow people into my apartment but will send a video upon request so owners feel more comfortable with where their pets will be staying! Any items that are essential to them can be be brought with them upon arrival to make them as comfortable as possible.

Michael was so amazing with my senior orange Ray Cat. What a wonderful job giving him his medicine 2 times and day, brushing, playing and treats. I always get worried because my boy can be a handle full at times, but Michael was such a amazing person for Ray Cat. Highly recommend and I feel so safe having him as Ray's sitter. Again thank you so much!

About: I’ve cared for dogs since age 12, worked alongside a professional trainer, and raised my own Pitbull and I am now raising a Havanese. Experienced with multiple breeds, puppies through seniors, I bring patience, structure, and genuine love. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I maintain a flexible schedule while job searching, allowing me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and attentive companionship throughout the week. I create a calm, secure environment by following each pet’s routine, monitoring behavior closely, and maintaining clean, pet-safe spaces. I communicate regularly with owners and prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I have fenced in yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. If needed I also have crates if your baby feels more comfortable in their own safe space.

Elaine is truly an angel. She was heaven sent. Our elderly Chihuahua is difficult and she was able to take care of him and made it seem effortless. She even had to sing to him to get him to get out of his bed!!! She sent pictures and communicated in real time. We are very grateful for her and would give a 10 star review if that was an option. Thank you Elaine!

This was our first time using Rover. Usually our family members watch our fur babies, but this time no one in however many years were available. I was super nervous about the idea of having someone I know come and watch my puppers, but then I came across Monica’s page. She has a long list of great reviews AND she was close to home. When I met her for our first meet and greet she is truly that wonderful

About: I’ve been caring for dogs ever since I got Daisy, at just 3 months old. Raising and training her has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic training, and providing lots of love and attention. I’m also a middle school teacher, so patience, responsibility, communication, and creating a safe environment come naturally to me. With summer break here, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like part of the family while you’re away! As a middle school teacher, I have a very flexible schedule during the summer some of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and pet sitting. I’m available, evenings, and weekends, before June 13, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and reliable environment where pets can feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I understand how important routines, patience, and trust are, and I’ll make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic routines, and keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind.
