“Courney was the absolute best. She helped me with more than just watching my animal. She helped bring in the mail when it got delivered and even went out of her way to get toys for my pet during Christmas time. She is an animal lover for sure. If there is anyone that I would rebook again with it would be her.”

“First time using Sarah to drop in and watch my cats. She did an excellent job of taking care of them, all was good, I could not have a better job myself. I had no problems or worries. Would use again, anytime, thank you, again !!!”

“Elaine did a wonderful job caring for our pets. Our cat has a lot of extra needs and she was very patient with him. She even spent extra time snuggling with him while we were away. We came home to a clean house and well-cared for animals. We'd definitely recommend!”

“Lisa was wonderful to have taking care of my two cats. She sent Rover cards with photos every day so I had peace of mind they were doing okay while I was away for the holidays. She was very responsive to texts both before and during the booking, and took very thorough notes during our meet and greet, so I never once worried she might miss or forget anything. I’ll definitely be looking her up next time I need a cat sitter!”

“Angela is the best! My main priority with a sitter is someone who will give my cats attention to alleviate some of their stress and separation anxiety which I communicate to every sitter. In the past even when I have spent the extra money for someone to stay 60 minutes they have only stayed maybe 10 to clean the litter box then leave before even acknowledging my cats. Angela stayed the full time and gave them lots of attention and play time:) She was very thorough and made sure she had all the information she needed. You can tell she’s a genuine person who truly cares about animals. She was also super accommodating when my other sitter fell through the night before I left. She even facilitated me interrupting her pedicure on her birthday so I could get my keys to her! I’m so glad I found her and I will definitely be using her again!!”

“Taylor was great to work with. He was punctual and took time to love on my baby and make sure she was doing good. They played with her favorite toys and cuddled a bit. I knew that my kitty was in great hands with Taylor and I trust him like family with my babies.”

“Lynette is a great sitter. We have had her take care of our dogs twice now and both times she spent lots of time with the dogs. She also takes great pictures! I would absolutely recommend Lynette.”

“Berenice had great communication and was able to take a last minute l booking. She was also able to adjust the time she came. We appreciated her flexibility and attentiveness!”

“Heather has continued to be an amazing sitter! I just got home from a week long vacation and it was so nice having the peace of mind that she was stopping in daily to visit with my cat. Her updates are always thoughtful. I would recommend Heather any day!”


“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.”
About: I’ve been a pet person since birth. My mom was a pet nurturer at home and for work. We had everything from horses, dogs, cats, ferrets & parrots. In my adult years I’ve had three huskies of my own and four cats. Having huskies is a real treat although sometimes a hard one! I’m comfortable with long walks and big dogs. Willing to help with any kind of furry or feathery pet ya got! I’m currently figuring out my next steps in life, taking my time and being thoughtful ! So currently I have nothing but time and energy to give. I live in Bay View and have a fenced in yard. I also have a spare bedroom for any pets that would need some alone time. I have no dogs currently but two cats, one who would want to be friends with any cat, dog or person I bring into the home and the other likes her alone time.
“My cats, particularly Simba was very happy with Alexy and Dylan. I appreciate all the pictures they sent, and how they communicated. We had a little communication trouble at the beginning but it was all solved right away. Leaving instructions I believe helped as they have several clients. They were always on time and did what I asked for. The box, the dishes, and everything was perfect when we arrived. We would book Alexy and Dylan again.”

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 😊
“Lilyan was awesome! :) This was my first time using rover and I was super nervous but she really made it easy. She left detailed notes and sent over great photos making the process 10X easier. I also thought it was really sweet that she picked up after the dogs and I could tell in the photos they were out of breathe from playing during her stops at the house. Thank you a million Lilyan and would definitely choose you again!”

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!
About: Friends and family regularly depend on me to help with their pets because they know I’ll show up, follow instructions, and treat their animals like family. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs. I pride myself on being trustworthy, communicative, and someone both pets and owners can feel confident relying on. I work full time Monday through Friday, but I love pet sitting in my free time. I’m available for visits before work, in the evenings, and on weekends. Pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m happy to be flexible outside of my regular work hours to make sure pets get the care and attention they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine and environment as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and any specific house rules. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection (on their terms), while also keeping their space clean and tidy. I respect my client’s home, communicate clearly with updates, and always prioritize the pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being.
Fernwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
First time use of Rover and Valerie for condo visit to feed my cat, His LLordship Llewyn of Wales. Very impressed with Valerie as she showed genuine concern, attention to detail including favorite play toys, accuracy in following instructions, and excellent communication skills including sending multiple pictures. I would highly recommend Valerie for in-home pet visits. Thank you!

Julia was great! She accepted a sitting request from us on short notice which was really appreciated. She came over to meet our Toast so she could meet him and we could see them interact. Toast had a great time when they met and I can tell from the pictures she took during the drop-in that Toast had fun! We’re so glad Julia took such great care of our boy in the hour she came to watch him! :)

My first time using sara to watch my cats, over the thanksgiving week, with no problems. She was very sweet towards them, and did an excellent job, taking care of them. I could not have asked for a nicer person to look after them. I would use her again anytime, and know that I have nothing to worry about. Thank you again, adam !!
