“Maelee was so amazing with our pups! We were so grateful to have Maelee step in for a last-minute drop-in for our dogs. She 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 she 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 Maelee!”
“Lauren was a great help with my last minute booking! She was very accommodating and followed all my instructions. I would definitely book with her again.”
“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.”
“Kim is the absolute best, leaving my pup is very sad but I feel comforted knowing Kim is going to be checking in on her. Plus, the highlight of my day is the little notes Kim leaves along with pictures of my sweet Suggie!! I can't thank Kim enough for being so reliable and trustworthy!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life, with experience caring for dogs of many different sizes and breeds. While taking care of your pet I will make them feel at home, maintain their routine with them and give plenty of attention. Pet care is vital in my house. With 3 animals to take care of, I have daily routines set in place in order to ensure my pets are well taken care of. We have a fenced in yard and space to run around, and a quiet, no-outlet neighborhood with no drive-thru traffic for walks. There is a dog bed for sleeping and a crate if needed.
“Abby did a great job of taking care of my two cats over several days and leaving messages with updates and communicating regularly. She was very professional about meeting beforehand to get acquainted and rolled with some last minute changes.”
“Brooke took care of our three cats and saltwater fish tank while we were on vacation. She was reliable with all the check in visits and sent updates with pictures as well. I would recommend her to others and we will use her again in the future!”
“Kaitlyn was professional and prompt while checking in on my cats while I was away. She sent a brief update on how they were doing and pictures which was very much appreciated! Would definitely recommend!”
“Brain was great with our medically fragile and slightly grumpy cat. He was quick to communicate and was competent in finding ways to get around our cats demeanor. He did what he needed to do to keep her safe and did everything he could to also make her feel as comfortable and taken care of as possible. He was great and we will definitely be using him again to care for our kitty.”
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!

About: I have loved dogs ever since I was a child. For the past 8 years I have watched dogs for family and friends. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs and am comfortable working with young puppies. I am currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! I'm available most weekdays for walks and pet care. I have a fenced in backyard and a small-medium 1 year old dog who loves to play. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Claire is the best! She is reliable and took the time to get to know each of our cats’ personalities. Two of our cats are on a pretty strict medication regimen and Claire was able to administer their meds with no issue. Best cat sitter we have ever had!!!”
“Couldn’t be happier with the way Holly handled the drop-in visits for our dogs. She shared photos and updates after each visit and it was very comforting. I could tell the dogs enjoyed her visits. Would absolutely book again!”
“Melissa did a great job with my frail elderly dog and two cats. She was super conscientious, thorough, and communicated well. I will definitely call again next time I go out of town. Thanks, Melissa!”
About: I have always had a dog in my life. Recently lost my little guy a few months back due to old age. He lived a great 12 years with me! Pets are my favorite thing ever! It is what makes each day enjoyable and having a fur baby can bring so much joy into life. After losing my little guy, it is important I prioritize giving some love to other fur friends to fill that void. It is a priority of mine and my biggest form of self care! Caring for pets is so important. If they are in my home, it is important they feel safe and comfy. If I am visiting them in their home, it is important I gain their trust so they feel comfy sharing their space with me.

Eastown pet parents share their Rover experiences
I was gone for a week and had Brian come by daily to look after my cat. She gets stressed when I’m gone and isn’t very friendly to new people. I was really happy that Brian was understanding about this. He took great care of my cat and nothing was overlooked. He was reliable and great with communication. I’d hire him again for sure.
I can definitely see that Amanda did a wonderful job taking care of our cats. I could see in their faces in the updates and tell in their body language when we returned that they didn’t miss us too much. Amanda did a great job entertaining and maintaining their schedules. This was a stress free vacation for me and the cats!
I don't usually leave reviews, but I felt compelled to make an exception for Evelyn. She took excellent care of our pets with great attention and care. She followed every instruction to the letter and clearly takes her responsibilities seriously. It’s rare to come across someone so reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. Just a really nice kid with a great attitude. Highly recommended!
