4. Jennifer T.
“We couldn’t have been happier with Jennifer as our cat sitter! From our very first meet and greet, we knew we’d found the perfect person. Jennifer is professional, thoughtful, patient and kind. Her genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does, and it’s clear she takes her role very seriously. Our cat had only been with us for a couple of months, so leaving her behind for a long-planned trip made us a bit nervous. But Jennifer put us completely at ease. Thanks to her, we were able to fully enjoy our trip without a single worry. We’re so grateful for her excellent care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter. We’ll definitely be using her services again in the future!”
5. Paris S.
“Paris was so great in checking in on our corgi! She always gave such detailed updates during her check ins and we could tell our pup was well taken care of! Always prompt and even went above and beyond to brush our little dude’s fur down. Highly, highly recommend Paris!”
6. Christina G.
“This was our first time using Rover and Christina made it a wonderful experience. Our dogs loved her. She was punctual and provided us with updates and photos while we were gone. She gave us peace of mind that our pooches were being well cared for. We highly recommend Christina!”

“Katy is amazing! The dogs live their best lives when Katy comes to visit. They get walks and pets. They are always so much happier when we come home and Katy has been there than when we pick them up from a kennel.”
8. Joscelyn P.
“I love that I get updates and photos from Joscelyn! Makes me feel more secure knowing that my puppy is well taken care of and having fun!”
9. Ellie C.
“We moved here from Brazil in 2022 and didn't know anyone. But we needed help with our dog, Nala. We contacted Ellie and she responded right away. She was dependable and experienced and kept in communication with us as we had asked. Nala is a large dog that is difficult to walk because she can get overly excited. But Ellie had no problems with her. In fact, Nala seemed disappointed when we got home and she didn't get to see Ellie anymore. Ellie knows a lot about animal care and is willing to tailor her approach to each animal's individual needs. She provides doggie massage and mental games for the dog, as well as lots of cuddling and love. She is truly the best pet sitter we have ever known.”

About: I have extensive experience in taking care of pets of all kinds, especially geriatric pets. I am adept at medication administration and other special services that need to be provided. I am currently employed full-time M-F and can be available to be with your pet before and after work, as well as on my lunch break. I am available during weekends to let pets out in 2-4 hour intervals. I walk my pet daily, and feed them twice a day. I also give my pets interactive projects (kong, lick mats, games) and play indoors when weather prevents us from going outside.

18. Jacob B.
“I have known Jacob all of his life and I can say that he is one of the sweetest, gentlest human beings that I have ever met! He has grown up always having dogs in the home, and he was generally the one that took charge of their care. Pets adore and are immediately drawn to him, I think that animals instinctively know that he is friendly & safe for them. He was an All American wrestler through high school & college, he went to college completely free thanks to wrestling, his over 3.9 GPA, and all of his extracurricular and volunteer hours of service. Living in an apartment, Jake is unable to have a pet at this time, which is a large part of why he is so excited to work with Rover, he will be an asset to your company and clients! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Sincerely, Mikah Paslaski (517) 348-9102”
19. Miranda Rose "Elliot" O.
“They were fantastic! It was our first experience with Rover, and they made it better than we ever expected. Exceptional communication and even helped celebrate our kitty’s birthday with him while we were gone. Got extra pictures too! We will definitely ask them to sit again in the future!”
20. Miranda Z.
About: Grew up with pets, every pet has been with me til the end. Love all dogs but large breeds are my favorite to cuddle. Couldn't imagine not having a dog in the family Currently just looking to keep busy and help others. I always need to feel like I'm having a purpose and loving on your pets would make my day enjoyable I have a lot of patience with dogs, normally have a conversation with them also. I don't yell. dogs don't feel guilty, they don't understand why you get angry with them, so I try to be gentle.
