“Kellie was amazing with Olaf and my kitties! They took care of them like their own and showed love and affection. Olaf also got fleas during the visits and they were quick to take care of the issue. Kellie was very descriptive with each of the visits and was quick to respond to any messages. I would DEFINITELY book them again to care of my furbabies :)”

5. Cannon M.
“Cannon was amazing! I was super nervous to leave for 9 days since I'd never used this website before and also because it'd been so long since I'd taken a trip. I was very reassured and trusted that my little babes would be taken care of while away. Cannon is an amazing communicator and knows a lot about animals. Thank you so much and I'll definitely reach out again for future care!”
6. Mercedes "Sadie" C.
“Sadie was very prompt to the scheduled drop in visits with our 2 pups. She showed them both lots of love and patience when there and sent lots of adorable photos. She followed instructions on caring for them and asked questions when she was not sure. Will definitely book her again as I trust her with being able to care for my babies when I’m away and I don’t have to worry about them.”
7. Leslie L.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, chickens and goats for friends, neighbors, and family members since I was 15 years old. I’ve taken care of puppies all the way up senior dogs. I have two of my own dogs, one is a very anxious and hyper active dog so I have experience with handling his anxiety and energy on a daily basis. I currently work Monday- Friday evening, my typical work schedule is 8am-5pm. I do work a hybrid schedule, so I usually work from home on Thursdays & Fridays . My days already revolve around my dogs, so your pet would get all the attention and more that they deserve. I’m big on trying to keep the routine that you have established for your dog to keep them as comfortable and stress free as can be while I watch them.
8. Stephanie T.
“Stephanie is an amazing pet sitter that has such a unique and special connection to animals. She is wonderful with our dogs and cats and has helped with both day visits (when we can’t make it home to let them out in time) and pet sitting for our longer travels. She is always punctual, great with communicating, and sends such great pictures of our pets while we are away. Highly recommend!”

10. Reilly H.
“My first time using the Rover app for my dog and my experience was amazing because of Riley :) She went above and beyond with drop in visits with my yorkie and even took out our trash bins on trash X-ray for us while we were out of town! I would definitely recommend and would book her for future needs.”
11. Raanan R.
“Raanan has given great consistent care to my pets over the past year.

12. Brenda G.

14. Zuheilys A.
About: I am an animal lover (including animals that are not well liked in society). Since I was a child in my home we have always had pets, especially dogs. Over the years I have gained the experience to understand and handle dogs in the best way. I currently have a Siberian Husky and I take care of my family's dogs, which are two Australian shepherd mix. In my spare time I take my dog on hiking adventures in different parks. I also work daily with obedience training to manage the energetic behavior of a husky. I am currently work 12 hours shift for three days and the rest of the days I am free having adventures with my dog (Khaleesi). I live in a house that has a fenced yard and to reduce the energy and stress of the dogs I usually walk them every two hours. I also have activities and toys for dogs of all kinds of sizes and materials with which dogs stay active.
