“As always, very dependable and my girls love her! Kaia and Pepper were well taken care of and I looked forward to reading the check in notes and seeing their pictures. I can appreciate the thoughtfulness and care Elaine provides. I will continue to use Elaine whenever she is available. 😊”
“Berenice was consistent and kept my cats from guessing at what time they will eat and get some cuddles. I appreciate this because they do not like change. She communicated via Rover only which was a bit hard because of where we were so next time I will insist on getting texts instead if possible. She was also very responsive when I asked her to do something.”
“Dev is fantastic! They are great with our dog, responsive when we have questions or we need to change our schedule, and great about sharing pictures and updates! Highly recommended!”
“Stephanie was excellent feeding my furry friends over labor day weekend. Very good communication and pictures. She not only fed them, but also tried to play with them. Would definitely recommend and use again!!”
“I’m so thankful for Elizabeth! She is wonderful with Miley and very attentive. She’s helped me out in a pinch more than once, and I always feel reassured when she’s checking in on Miley.”
“Alexy & Dylan are sweet! they took great care of my girl’s needs while I was away & sent plenty of pictures. I will contact them for future needs. 💜”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs taking responsibility of feeding, walking and basic care. I love cats and dogs. Family and friends often rely on me to dog sit, dog walk and watch their pets when away. I am a teacher who is available in the afternoons for dog walking! I am available to drop ins after school! I can walk your dog before you get home from work so you can relax! I will ensure the safety of your pet while in my care. I love dogs and cats and will make sure to follow instructions left by you. I am experienced with some reactivity.
About: Currently an owner of 2 dogs, one that is senior. I’ve had dogs my entire life and absolutely love them! New to the area and would love to come care for your pet and meet new friends, furry and not! I work from home and travel about once a month. I am fairly flexible to pop in during the day and let dogs out, feed them and take them on walks! I go above and beyond for my personal pets and I would do the same for yours! They are special and I want to be sure they have the best life while we have them!
“My dog has separation anxiety and can be a handful, so I’m so thankful when Blythe can stop in and check on her and give her some happy time 😍 plus I know she’s well cared for. Thank you!”
“Terri sent check in photos every day. Left out enough wet food bowls that she didn't have to wash them, but was pleasantly surprised to come home to a clean stack. She's obviously a pet lover and one can feel confident your fur babies are well cared for.”
“Crystal is the most professional and attentive sitter I’ve ever had! She can handle all special needs and routines. She really cares and goes above and beyond. I also appreciated the detailed updates- absolutely recommend!”
About: I have cared for and raised a number of pets over the years. Would love to be able to care for yours. Very loving home. I am self employed and able to make my own hours. I would be able to give your pet all the time and attention he/she needs. I would care for only one dog at a time so I can give them my sole attention. I do have a 8 year old cat but he has been raised around dogs his whole life. I lost my 12 year old Doberman back in April of last year. I cared for him from pup on up to his very last days. I am very patient and loving with animals as I have always had a pet in my home. I love going on walks and live close to the lake which has wonderful walking trails. Your pet would get plenty of love, attention and exercise 😊
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 8+ years. I spend time getting to know the pet, their play/walk preferences and respect the owners wishes! I have a flexible work from home schedule. I’m available for walks, feeds, or playtime! I enjoy all types of dogs and enjoy being active myself. I typically care for pets in others homes and depending on the breed/size, in my home as well. I have my own transportation if needed.
“Jessica was great. My dog appeared to really take to her. She even went far above what she had to do. She kept a good eye on his overall well being too. I will plan to use her again for any of my future trips.”

Fernwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kayla did an amazing job watching my kitten, Archie! She provided excellent care, sent adorable pictures after every visit, and was very responsive. When I got home Archie was his usual happy and playful self and it was clear that Kayla’s visits really helped limit the stress of me being away for both of us. I’ll absolutely book her again!
Reilly is great to work with overall - very communicative, friendly and most importantly, my pet approves! She was timely and really made sure to follow any of my questions/asks of her. I will definitely continue to go to her primarily, as long as she is available and would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for the first time or otherwise!
Our kitties love Teri. Ike has to have his thyroid medicine every twelve hours. Teri has been our kitty sitter for about five years now. We miss our kitties terribly, but just knowing Teri is caring for them eases my mind. They know her now, and her gentle way with them is easy to see when we get our daily photo updates. Even Tina accepts her, which is a little miracle in itself!
MeRae took great care of the kitties while I was away. Sent lots of photos and the kitties seemed really happy and active during their daily check-ins. Knowing that MeRae has cats of her own made me feel confident leaving the cats in her care. Highly recommend and I’ll be booking again! :)
Alex did an amazing job with my very human reactive dog Meatball! She always knew the right thing to do to get him to calm down around her and was willing to sit through so much barking and aggressive behavior. I am so happy I found her to watch Meatball because it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away.
