Amanda was wonderful! I reached out short notice while I was out of town and my wife had a longer day at work than usual. She did a drop-in visit for our two dogs and everything went smoothly. We’d happily book again!

Cassy is really great! She was very patient with me because this is my first time using Rover. She even helped us do extra work like cleaning the litter and cats’ throw-up on floor. Really sweet. We are 100% satisfied.

Aubrey was available on short notice and did a great job taking care of our cat. She was attentive to his habits and notified us when something deviated from normal so that we could take action to put things back on track. I hope Aubrey will be available to care for our cat again!

Glenn took excellent care of my Dallas, who is a bit difficult, but he kept me updated and seemed to be happy to deal with her cranky personality. I will definitely book again.

About: I am currently getting my bachelor's in animal behavior and care. I've had many bteeds of dog from small to large as well as cats. I love all breeds and I am open minded to all animals. Even the scaly ones. I have 3 cats and a dog with ptsd from their previous owner. I work but am more then able to adjust my schedule in order to pet sit. I will still be sure they are fed properly, played with, and taken out as needed. I will ensure your pet is fed, walked, taken out and generally well looked after with lots of playtime. I can work with their dietary schedules and needs as well as their special care.

Theodore was amazing with my 16-year-old kitty Paulie. He quickly gained Paulie’s trust and affection. He did everything I asked and more. I felt really comfortable being away because of Theodore’s responsible and thoughtful care of Paulie.

Whitney did a wonderful job taking care of Loki and Hope. We had moved into a new home only recently and were anxious about needing to leave them for a week before they were completely used to a new space. But Whitney was super communicative, responsible, and sent great photos that helped us feel they were in good hands. We would absolutely work with Whitney again!

About: Animals have always been part of my life—starting with the Dobermans I helped raise as a kid and even a pet pig who thought he was one of the dogs. I’ve worked in the veterinary field, where I learned to safely give medications, handle pets of all temperaments, and notice the small details that keep them healthy and happy. I’ve also worked at Petco, caring for everything from fish and birds to reptiles and small mammals, and I regularly help my neighbor with her pup for walks and playtime. My family has a long history of fostering animals for a local rescue, so caring for pets feels second nature to me. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, gentle company, or extra care, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family.🐾 I work weekdays from 8 AM–4 PM, during the school year, which allows me to be available in evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I enjoy staying active, and spending that time with dogs is a perfect fit for my lifestyle. I always follow each pet’s specific instructions, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and any special care needs. Whether your dog needs a calm walk, extra attention, or just a friendly face while you’re away, I treat every pet like my own and aim to make them feel safe and cared for. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐾 I provide pets with a safe, clean, and calm environment by making sure they have fresh water, proper feeding, exercise, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I follow the pet owner’s instructions closely regarding schedules, medications, routines, and behavior needs. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I monitor for any signs of illness, injury, or unusual behavior and communicate updates with the owner as needed. I also keep litter boxes, cages, feeding areas, and walking equipment clean and sanitary. For dogs, I provide walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. For cats and other pets, I make sure they receive appropriate feeding, enrichment, and a calm environment suited to their needs. Safety is always a priority, including secure doors, leashes, and supervision around other animals or hazards.

About: New to pet sitting, but not new to pet care! I treat every animal like family, and understand the love, patience, and responsibility it takes. :) I am currently working part-time! I am available on certain days throughout the week to do visits, walks, or daycare. I even can on some weekends! I have both a fenced and unfenced yard! I also have 3 siblings (6 and older) who love, enjoy, and have fun playing with all animals too! :)

I am ecstatic with Mandy's help with my dog, Jesus. He is naturally timid and he has warmed up to her in less than a week, even after a cross country move. When I come home from work, I can tell that a responsible, caring person has paid him a visit because he is relaxed and happy. Mandy is very quick to respond and communicates very well. I would highly recommend Mandy and greatly appreciate her support!
