“It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Ericka sent regular pics and updates. When we got home our dog was happy and content. When we’ve had to use something more like daycare in the past, he just gets really stressed and barely eats. We will be using rover again in the future for sure.”

About: I will give complete care for your pets. I will dedicate myself to not just be a Walker but another guardian to your pet while you are away or unable to be home to care for them! I will take this job serious. I will walk,feed, and even wash if needed(only if supplies and where to wash them are available). I work with dogs and I'm on top of my responsibilities and I bond with animals easily. I will make sure your animals are well watched and cared for and I will play as much as possible to help improve the bond!! I ensure you I will be the best possible for you and your adorable pet I am available evenings after work so I have free time to be of assistance to you. It will be good for me as well to gain more knowledge and experience with different breeds. I can best care for your pet in your home by following routines and rules you have set in place. I think it helps them to have an environment they are used to and comfortable in .

“Our boys love people.. so we were happy to find Molly who could house sit with them. (normally people think cats can be left alone but our boys are social!) While we were gone we received updates and photos to let us know how they were doing. We came home to a cleaned up house and happy kitties. Will definitely reach out to Molly if we need sitting in the future.”

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have been caring for them from a young age. I started dog sitting as a young teen for my aunt and now regularly care for a family friend’s Mastiff for about two weeks each year, so I’m no stranger to big dogs, drool, and extra-large cuddles. At home, my family shares responsibility for our Pit Bull, giving me hands-on experience with daily care, routines, and affection. I truly love being around dogs and look forward to having a home full of happy pups after I finish college. As a full time student, I’m able to dedicate my weekends to giving your pup plenty of love, attention, and care. I’m also happy to help with check-ins or walks during the week when our schedules align. I’m very flexible, and caring for dogs never feels like a chore to me, it’s something I truly enjoy and am always glad to fit into my routine when I can. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and can stick to their normal routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, and house rules. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while also keeping their space clean and safe. I always keep owners updated so they can feel at ease while they’re away.

About: I’ve lived in a household with all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, etc. I have cared for friends and neighbors pets when they have been away. This included playtime, feeding, bathing, exercising, safety, and bringing to the occasional vet appointment. Would absolutely love hanging out w your furry bestie (: I work as a nightshift nurse, so I’ll fit visits into my schedule either inbetween or around my shifts to help out! Knowing a few days in advance is helpful for me to plan my week (: I cannot care for your loved ones in my home, but willing to come for drop in visits or pet walking! Ensuring their safety, and understanding your expectations is important for me!

About: Hi! My name is Colette, but my friends call me Mouse and I love pets! I've been taking care of friends and families pets for about two years now. I'm in college and looking to make some extra cash. I work around my class schedule, that is different day today. I'm able to watch or check in on pets throughout the day and night, and all weekends. I'm in school for theater so sometimes I do go through tech weeks that let me out very late at night, but when that happens, I'm still willing to check in on any pets! I believe in making sure your pets are fully safe and loved while you are away! I have no problem asking about what exactly is the regular routine of your pet to make sure they are the safest and most comfortable they can be without you.

Kacy is amazing! She took such great care of our dog while we were out of town. She was patient with our very timid dog and fully won her over by the end of the weekend. She also took the time to send lots of photos and updates so we knew how things were going!

Nori loved being in Kasey and Alyssa's care over the weekend! Usually my neighbor or a friend watches him so I was nervous about using someone else, but he absolutely loved all the love and care he got. Kasey and Alyssa were amazing at communicating at every point of the way and would definitely recommend them to everyone.

I’m writing this against my selfish desire to want to gate keep Mariah, but she deserves to be known for her impeccable service. We left our pets in Mariah’s care over Christmas break. As someone who struggles with anxiety leaving my pets, I can tell you that Mariah not only met my expectations but exceeded them in every way. She is professional, extremely kind, and goes above and beyond at every turn. We came home to very happy and well loved pets and when I tell you that she left our home spotless I’m not exaggerating. I’ve been using rover for 5 years now in various cities across Canada and US and Mariah is easily the best sitter we’ve worked with. For the first time since owning pets I’m actually excited to plan our next vacation knowing we’d be reaching out to her for help. If you’re like me and are interviewing multiple sitters before deciding, take this as your sign to book with Mariah. Thanks Mariah, can’t wait to work with you again very soon! 🫶🏽

Even though he’s high need and has lots of health issues, Malik took care of him so well that even with the stress of us being away, Pablo’s ailments continued to improve.
