Absolutely loved Marisa! My kitty has been a bit nervous at our new home and Marisa was so respectful and welcoming to her. I really appreciated the updates she sent and the photos that showed how my kitty was warming up to them and enjoying having them over. I will definitely be reaching out to Marisa again for future visits and highly recommend her! She’s kind, professional, compassionate, thoughtful, and very communicative.

About: I have a passion for rescue and believe pets deserve all the second and third chances! One of my first moves as an adult was adopting a rescue cat who was destined to be an only child in her forever home. Now with 3 rescue cats and one young rescue lab with a past, our home is at full capacity, but I love meeting new furry characters through pet sitting. I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for nearly 2 decades. Recently we were in a bind to find someone in our circle to care for our rowdy pup, so we turned to the Rover community and immediately found a fantastic local dog walker. I love that Rover provides a place for pet parents to connect and I’m now in the local network of pet sitters as well! I believe every dog is an individual and should be respected as such. Every challenging behavior simply reflects a need. I know how tough it can be to find a good match for a rescue pup with a past, and I’d love to provide help as a sitter/walker who is comfortable navigating challenging behaviors! I love a cat who hisses at strangers, and I love a pup who has enough wild energy to power a small city. My current work situation is a bit slow so I’m working part time with a somewhat inconsistent schedule. Usually I have the most availability to help with pet care in the afternoon and evening. Thursday-Sunday are usually very flexible. Feel free to reach out and let me know what your needs are! I have a small 3bd home with a small fenced in yard. I live in a densely populated neighborhood with many dogs, and with a highly reactive pup I am very safety conscious and accustomed to providing vigilant supervision both when my dog goes out on his own to potty or while on walks.

Emily was able to accommodate my late booking and took great care of my cat while I was away. She is a great communicator and I enjoyed seeing the photos she left with each of her drop in visits. I will definitely reach out to her again for future pet care!

Hope is a wonderful, thoughtful, excellent communicator and we are so lucky to have her compassion and skill watching our little monsters. Our dogs can be a handful sometimes, and they are spoiled rotten so I am nervous leaving them with new people. Hope cares for them thoughtfully, sends updates and communicates regularly, and I truly cannot recommend her more strongly!

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 8 and all my dogs have shown great love towards me because I give them the full love back. I am known in the family as the family caretaker when our dogs get old and need special attention. The reason I take care of my dogs when they get older because I have the patience, attentions, and most of all, love in supporting them through their elderly stage. All pets deserve the best and I am more than happy to provide that! I am currently taking the year off from work to travel the world but in between my trips I have a lot of free time and feel it can be better spent taking care of pets while other people can enjoy trips or another activity that requires them to leave their pet at home. I have a 5-year old Havanese and I take him on walks daily, I make sure he is bathe at least once a month, and try to take him on as many trips so I can, so he can enjoy the world as much I as I do.

Judy instantly clicked with us and our dog. She is able to provide exactly what we are looking for. She had even asked us specifics about our dog that I had forgotten to bring up. When she stayed with our boy, we came home to a happy, relaxed pup. We will be contacting her again for sure!

Thank you Mika & Koji for taking care of our Pendleton! We were concerned that our very energetic teenager would be too much but you both were so wonderful with him! You handled our big lug with confidence and love. You eased our worries with the updates and pictures you provided. We can now plan our vacations, date nights and out of town trips knowing we found sitters we could trust! 😊

About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds my whole life, including my (now passed) 17-year-old dog and my current puppy, Maggie. I understand the needs of both energetic youngsters and gentle seniors, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine - I’m used to feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on pets throughout the day. Whether it’s scheduled visits or regular walks, I’m already in the rhythm of caring for pets consistently and reliably. I have a large fenced yard and am happy to make any accommodations for your pet that are needed (crating, leash training, administering medication, etc.)

This was my first experience with Rover and Kira made the experience so easy. Kira responded quickly to my initial request and all subsequent correspondence. She kept me updated over the time she looked after Lily, which allowed me to enjoy my evening. I will definitely request Kira’s assistance in the future and I highly recommend her to watch over other’s furry babies!

Aaron was a great sitter to both of our cats! He took the time to learn how to use both an inhaler as well as brush our other cat’s teeth who has juvenile gingivitis. He was really easy to get a hold of and we would definitely book him again!

Sophia watched our dog porter while we were gone over the holidays. She checked in on him multiple times a day and left us feedback each time on how he was doing. We love hiring Sophia when we go out of town because we know he’ll be well taken care of.
