“So thankful to have such a trusted pet sitter in my area. My cats love her and Olivia goes out of her way to send thorough updates and pics of each visit!”
“Did a great job taking care of my pups. Will definitely book with Amanda again.”
“Alaina was fantastic! She went above and beyond looking after our elderly cat Eddie. She kept us updated daily and we will definitely be using her services again next time we have to travel out of town. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter”
“We love Elizabeth! She’s great with my Great Dane and has become our regular sitter. Responsive, great with care instructions, and super reliable. :)”
“Amanda is great with Dodger. She is enthusiastic and dependable and clearly loves my pup. I have such peace of mind knowing she’s coming for a visit 3 times a week while I’m working. She always includes a photo and lots of details about her visit. I would recommend booking services with Amanda.”
“Migle was very attentive to my dog and made sure her needs were met. She was very professional and punctual. I will definitely use her again.”
“Daphne cared for our 16 year old cat for 9 days while we were out of the country. We received detailed updates and pictures twice a day. It was clear that she made a real effort to coax our elderly cat to eat, spent time just sitting with her on her lap,and making her feel "tended to". She also had no problem administering several medications that she takes, and seemed very competent and knowledgeable. She volunteered to take out our trash bins, and turned on and off our porch lights. Daphne is mature and able to handle any pet or home situation, she communicates effectively, and I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Lindsay is wonderful! My super shy cat loved Lindsay from the first visit. She took great care of my girl and sent me lots of pics each visit. I definitely recommend booking with her!”
“Sarah was simply fantastic with our little guys. She took excellent care of them. We couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. The pups loved spending time with her. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Michelle was absolutely fantastic! She was punctual, communicative, made sure Roux La La got her meds, and gave her lots of love. Michelle has a warm energy that my kitty took to right away. I'm so grateful to have peace of mind while I'm traveling, knowing that I can rely on Michelle. Roux La La and I look forward to more bookings with her.”
“Loren took great care of my cat over the holidays. She communicated around each visit and made time to play with my cat and give her lots of affection. I would definitely book her again!”
“Having Sheeri watch Anchovy was such a joy! Thank you for keeping an eye on her and keeping her so happy when we were out of town.”
“Sarah is a true gem, and really excellent with shy cats. My boys tend to hide from their sitters, but they adjusted quickly to Sarah to my surprise and I felt so thankful they were happy and comfy while I was away. Very grateful and impressed! ?”
“It was nice to meet Ryan and I look forward to him walking/checking in on the dogs”
“Hannah took such wonderful care of our beloved kitty, Minou, over the holidays (including Christmas and New Year’s) for two full weeks. From the moment we booked, she was flexible, communicative, and totally committed to ensuring Minou had everything he needed—plus plenty of love and attention. Not only did we come home to an extremely happy and content kitty, but Hannah also went above and beyond by helping with a few little household things that popped up while we were away. Her frequent updates gave us peace of mind, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. We’re so glad we found her, and we’ll absolutely be booking Hannah again next time Minou needs a sitter!”
“Erin is awesome! I could tell just from her consultation that Chauncey would be in good hands, and sure enough she definitely knows what she's doing and very clearly cares about your pet. Sends great pictures and excellent reports for each visit. She handled two unexpected issues with no trouble. Chauncey warmed right up to her, and she made everything about the process easy. Highly recommend! Will hire her again for sure.”
“Kelly has watched my cat on multiple occasions and provides great peace of mind while I’m away. She visits at consistent times and provides daily pictures and I know my cat is in good hands.”
About: Although I’ve been sitting via Rover since November 2023, I have been house & pet-sitting for friends for many years. I have experience with very large dogs (i.e. 80+ lb German Shepherds) who are ‘dog-reactive’; walking same-residence dogs in pairs who have a large age difference; walking same-residence dogs separately due to large age difference; and multiple cats with a mix of indoor & outdoor plus indoor/outdoor hybrid. Since joining Rover, I have added quite a lot of experience with senior dogs including some who are sight and hearing impaired, as well as varying degrees of doggy dementia. Walking with dogs is genuinely one of my favorite things to do- I keep my phone pocketed during dog walks, both for safety and to simply enjoy the walk. I’m a generous belly rubber & scratcher, am content to play catch on a near infinite loop, and am a happy recipient of licks from the pooches and biscuit-making from the kitties. I work from home booking live music entertainment for events. The vast majority of my work is laptop and phone based, with occasional in-person meetings and events to drop by. When I am on a pet stay I don't go out at night socially, and I cook at home or order in. I get out most days to exercise and every couple days to grocery shop. I have a hierarchy of my approach and goals when staying with pets. First, the foundation is safety & well being. This is safe walking, a safe home, eating & sleeping normally, medications, etc. Second is comfort and routine- my goal is for your pet to not be anxious because you are away. I look for signs of anxiety and do my best to allay fears & stress. Third is a love connection- when I depart from a pet stay, I want to miss your pets in the kind of way that you do when you have to leave home. And finally, given everything else goes according to plan, the lagniappe of a great stay is that your pet experienced a ‘staycation’ - that they come to understand that my very existence is for them specifically, and maybe they get even more doted upon than they normally do, what with busy schedules and lives and such. The best sign of a great stay with your pet(s) is that when you return, while they are obviously happy to see you, they are pretty relaxed about it.
“Excellent care!”
“Anne has been thorough and mindful of all our pets needs. She pays close attention to their moods, preferences,, activities, and the ways they interact with one another. She took time to bond with all of them and they seemed to appreciate seeing her when we were away. She even noticed our garden and took the time, unprompted, to water it.”
