“Alyssa was great! She offered to come by to meet our fur babies ahead of time to make sure they would be comfortable! She followed our list to a T and then some! We will definitely book her again when we go out of town next! Thank you again Alyssa!”


“Lavinia could not have done a better job looking after Ollie for 4 days last week! She communicated really well throughout the week, was super punctual, and went above and beyond as far as any request we made. Ollie had a fantastic week and we are looking forward to Lavinia taking care of him again! Thank you again, Lavinia!”


“Draco spent some time with Bethany this past weekend. She was amazing. Communicated amazingly and sent a ton of photos which I appreciate. I was super nervous leaving him but it seem like it went really well and he was happy when we got back to get him. We will be leaving him for 10 days coming up and after this past weekend it has put me at such ease knowing he is going somewhere he is loved and cared for.”


“We had an absolutely fabulous first experience with Ona staying in our home and watching our kitty Mira while we were in Bermuda for two weeks. What a great communicator!! And she was so willing to do all kinds of extras that come with a large home and land—including putting out corn for our wildlife friends and making sure our gardens didn’t wilt in the unexpected heat wave. Our kitty absolutely adored her, and she wants us to go away again soon so that she can snuggle and play with Ona again :) Thank you for everything, Ona. It was a joy to have you watching over our home.”


“I recently used Alicia for the first time, but it certainly will be the last! She took care of my dog and two cats for a week. My dog is a rescue who can be nervous around new people, but Sadie warmed up to her, and Alicia sent me lots of pictures of the cats on her lap, and Sadie sitting right next to her. That’s all I needed to know to know Alicia was great at what she does. The house was clean when I returned home, and everyone was happy. I highly recommend!”


“Nikole was amazing!!!!! She took care of our favorite child, our mini- schnauzer, watched our cats and fed all 90 of our fish in our fish tanks while house sitting for a week. She updated us multiple times a day, sent videos, photos, and was clear with communication. She took great care of our house shoveled our driveway without being asked and left it in tip top shape. We walked in to a clean home with soft music playing on the tv with videos of dogs playing to keep our pop occupied. She travels with our highest recommendation and we plan on using her all the time moving forward!”


“John was amazing. This was the first time we had a sitter for our 10 month old lab and he made us feel so comfortable and relaxed about the entire experience. He helped train our dog and made him comfortable when we were gone. We can’t wait to ask for John to help us in the future. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about dogs. Lucky to have found him.”


“Emily was a fantastic sitter for our two cats and dog. This is our second time having her stay with our furbabies and we always know they are in good hands when she’s with them. She’s very communicative and provides us updates, which is so appreciated! She’s our go to Rover when we are out of town!”


“Teri was very professional and did a great job taking care of my two girls, one that needed meds. Pictures and updates were sent and communication was easy with her. House left spotless and I would definitely recommend.”



“Linden has been amazing with our German Shepherd! He is very flexible and knowledgeable as it was my first time using Rover and made the experience easier to understand. Lol. I will definitely be using him again! Thanks Linden!!”


“David is the first sitter we have used on Rover for our dogs and cat, while we were away for the weekend. He is phenomenal; our nervous pups took to him immediately and I got pics of relaxed, cuddling dogs - and our GSD is not typically a cuddler so this was even more remarkable. All the pets were calm and happy when we came home. He took great care of our home as well. We will definitely rebook! We are very happy with his care.”



“Rene was great. She did everything asked of her. The best thing is that she spent most of her time at my home with the dogs! Most sitters only had a few hours they could be available through the day, and then would just sleep here. Rene dedicated her time to being here with my fur babies, which was the most important thing for me”


“Nina was a great sitter for our three dogs. Even before the booking and meet/greet, she asked questions to get to know our dogs and their routines. She’s very thorough and detailed. Nina communicated throughout the stay with pictures and updates on how they were doing. She kept the house clean also. Would recommend and book again!”

“Suzanne stayed in our house with our 2 dogs for 9 days and did an awesome job. She was a great communicator - we got daily updates which gave us so much peace of mind. She stepped in at the last minute after other plans feel through and dealt with our older dog's medical issues smoothly. And when we returned she had clearly put a lot of effort into making sure the house was clean and ready for us. Maybe the most impressive thing about Suzanne's work is that both of our dogs were really calm when we returned - happy to see us, but not overly crazed like they often can be.”


“Ricky did an amazing job taking care of our three dogs in our home! We have already booked him again for next month and as long as he wants to continue staying with our little pet family, he will be our first choice!”


“I highly recommend Barbara. I left for NY for 7 days and she kept me updated with pics and what was happening. She went above and beyond what was asked for. Great job caring for my 2 cats and dog.”


“Ashlynn took wonderful care of my dog while I was away for a long weekend. She sent multiple updates each day with pictures and info about his day. She took good care of the house and left it tidy as well. I would reccomend her to anyone needing drop in or overnight pet care.”


“Jada was amazing with my 3 dogs and cat. We had to go out of town for a few days and she stayed at our apartment with them and took such good care of them and the apartment! She updated me on how they were doing and sent a lot of pics without me needing to ask. We don’t leave our pets very often but Jada handled all their stress and behaviors like a champ. Already have her booked again and will definitely be using her for all our future pet needs!”


About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. As a child my family would rescue dogs and cats and give them the life they deserved. I currently work at a doggie day care/rescue and it has been the most rewarding experience. I have lots of experience with puppies and seniors and everything in between. I have experience administering medications and caring for animals with special needs. I also feel comfortable caring for animals with different behavioral needs. If you are interested in any of my services I would love to set up a meet and greet :) I currently have a full time job at a dog day care / rescue. I normally work 5 days a week for 8 hours a day. I am willing to work around my schedule to help care for your pets. I would prefer a meet and greet before watching your pet for everyone’s safety and comfort. I will follow any rules and guidelines you have for your pet and keep you updated on our visits !
