“We chose Maelee as our first sitter with Rover and she was absolutely perfect! She was extremely sweet, eased our fears, and took amazing care of our cats! I would highly, highly recommend Maelee if you're looking for a pet sitter. She lets you know everything that goes on with your pets and takes the best photos! 😊🧡”

“Kate has been fantastic with Kira. She made sure she had food and water, and even watered some plants and picked up packages from the door. She also sent me photos of everything. I’m really happy — thank you, Kate!”

“Ty is so great with all of our different fur babies. I was so grateful for his help while we were away! From very timely check-ins, to great picture updates, and going above and beyond each day, Tyler was an important part to the success of our family vacation! Our dog, 3 cats, 2 pet rats, and a tank full of goldfish were in kind and thoughtful hands every day! Highly recommend!”

“Ashlyn did a perfect job dropping in 3x/day for my sick old dog while I was gone for a week. She is one of those people you trust immediately upon meeting her. She is very friendly and responsible. I’d recommend her to anyone!”

“Sara has quickly become our go-to sitter for a house full of animals, some with special needs, like a pup with epilepsy on several pills a day and an older cat with no teeth who needs separate food. Every time Sara has been here, we come back to happy pets and a happy home!”

“Katie is wonderful. My normally shy cats loved her immediately and that means a lot to us. She sent us great pictures on every visit and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future!”

“I had a great experience with our McKenzie! She dropped in to spend time with my puppy Barrett, and it was clear right away how comfortable and natural she is with dogs. She gave my pup plenty of attention, playtime, and care, which made a big difference in keeping him happy and stimulated while we were away. She was reliable and communicative! The best Rover experience I’ve had. I had peace of mind knowing Barrett was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her routinely again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and great with dogs.”

“We just started using rover for our puppy. Kaitlyn has been amazing, always sends us photo updates and leaves us an update on how Paige is doing. Our puppy adores her and the drop in visits help us break up the time we are away for work.”

“Oh my goodness, amazing! It’s clear she is an animal lover and caretaker. The thoughtful updates on what the kitties were up to and what she did during her time at the check in were so helpful and made me feel so at ease. Will DEFINITELY rebook. Thank you SO much Moira!!!”

“I can't believe how lucky I got when I asked Hollie to take care of my pets a few months ago. I have now booked her for 3 occasions, 2 overnights, and 1 drop in. She will forever be my first pick.”


About: Im a reliable and active animal lover. I’ve cared for dogs for family and friends and treat every pet like my own. I’m attentive to each animals needs whether it’s going for a walk, playtime, or giving them company. I’m a nurse looking to hangout with some furry friends and get some extra time outside. I’m a nurse working full time looking to find a way to spend extra time outside. During the week I am available early in the mornings and in the evenings. I am available anytime during the weekends. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your pet will be treated like family. I have one three year old cat at home who is shy but friendly. I prioritize constant supervision, secure spaces, and clear communication with owners, including updates and photos. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine are always my top priorities.
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since childhood. My friends, family, and co-workers have trusted me to care for their fur babies! I have a senior pittie with reactive/aggressive behavior, so I do have experience and empathy towards that! I work full time Monday-Thursday 7:30am-5pm but can drop in after work or later in the evening as well. Friday-Sunday are my more flexible days! I fully respect the owner’s schedule for their pet and will follow whatever instructions are needed to ensure your pet is safe and cared for properly. I would ask the same for my own!
“Our sweet doodles absolutely love Brian! We were so grateful to have Brian step in for a few last-minute drop-ins for our dogs. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced in handling dogs with care and attention. Knowing our dogs were in good hands gave us such peace of mind. We appreciated the updates and the extra effort he put into making sure they were comfortable and happy. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and dependable to care for your pets, we highly recommend Brian!”

“I left my dog, Theo, with Kelsey and Forrest for a few hours, and definitely plan on using them again in the future! They were very accommodating, and facilitated a meet-up beforehand, so that Theo could get comfortable with them and their space before his stay. When I dropped him off, he didn’t even look back! Kelsey and Forrest are very trustworthy and obviously animal lovers.”

“Suzanne was very responsive. I loved the daily pictures! She took good care of my babies. I appreciated that she took initiative on things like vacuuming and taking out the garbage without me having to ask. I felt my home was well taken care of. She was also very flexible when I had to extend my trip plans. Overall I would recommend her for cat sitting!!”

“James very obviously cares about animals and is very knowledgeable about dogs. He handled my large dog with ease. I feel like my doggo had a great time with James, honestly I think my dog was a little disappointed when I got home because he enjoyed his time with James so much. Would recommend.”

We had a great experience with Beth! She took wonderful care of our senior cat, Apollo, while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and followed all of our care instructions.

We absolutely loved having her care for our puppy, Oliver! She was kind, reliable, and took such great care of him during her drop-in visits. The updates and photos always made our day, and it was clear that Oliver was happy and comfortable with her. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her!

Booking with Kelsey & Forrest to take care of my cat was such a great experience! They were very communicative, sent pictures and videos of my cat, provided updates, and took very good care of my girl 🐱. This was my first experience with Rover and it was very pleasant. If you want someone that’ll take care of your pet like their own, don’t hesitate to book Kelsey & Forrest. I will definitely book them again in the future :)

Natalie was a godsend! Our kitty is very shy and does not approach easily, but she took to Natalie right away. Natalie was also very communicative with sharing updates & photos, which we greatly appreciated. Highly recommend, and would gladly welcome her back.
