“Elisabeth was excellent with our senior pup Simba! He took a liking to her right away and she was able to maneuver him into his harness and take him up and down the porch steps easily. Quick, communication, reliable, and kind. Will definitely call on Elisabeth in the future!”

“Elizabeth was prompt and took great care of my pup. She was easy to get a hold of and responded super quickly ahead of my booking and then sent lots of photos after the visit. My pup was well cared for! Will definitely book again.”


“Alyssa was so amazing with my fur babies. She sent daily photos and was extremely communicative. Also cleaned up behind them when they were being a bit naughty (knocked over plants lol) Ultimately, I came home to a clean litter box and extremely happy kittens. I am certain they will miss her and I intend to rebook with Alyssa in the future.”

“Gretchen dropped in on my pup and I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver! Ziggy has separation anxiety and she made sure he was well taken care of. She was very communicative and proactive before and during her visits. Would absolutely book again!”

“Julia was wonderful. She took care of our two cats for a week. She stopped in once a day to feed them, scoop the litter and spend a little time with our boys. She’s kept in touch and sent pics! We came home to two happy cats! We will definitely use Julia again.”

Tending to pets take patience sometimes, and that’s how I am with everyone’s animal no matter what! Wether I am walking your animal or spending time with them in your home, I will be respectful and careful with your beloved furry family member ❤️
“Would I book Haley again? I already have! Haley is fantastic, she went above and beyond my expectations! Haley took AMAZING care of our three senior dogs, who have special needs. One of my dogs needs to have his bladder expressed due to a spinal injury, Haley went out of her way to learn how to express his bladder and ensure his comfort. Haley gave the dogs ample outdoor time, shared photos and detailed report cards throughout the day which gave us peace of mind. You can tell when your dogs had their basic needs met vs. when they also had enrichment (play time, cuddles, etc.), my dogs clearly had enrichment with Haley taking care of them. The dogs were happy and content when we returned home, they hardly missed us! Cannot recommend Haley highly enough.”
About: I have done seasonal dog walking jobs for older clients as well as drop-in visits for several of my friends and family’s cats or dogs. I am also proficient in caring for senior cats as I have rescued two from the street. My kitties are quite independent and have an auto kibble feeder and they are fed wet dinner in the evenings to support urinary health. I am always hanging out with them when in my home as it is theirs as well. I am always checking on my pets and giving them affection. I am attentive and quick to respond which makes me very observant and detail oriented. Your pet is always safe under my watch and your instructions will be followed closely. In my own home, clients’ pets have their own room.

“Xava was fantastic! She was so attentive and genuinely caring toward my dog. She radiates confidence, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her next time!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - First Ward
Elizabeth is great with my cat Dasher. She is reliable, takes great care of Dasher when I am away and is flexible when I need to make a last minute change. She’s been taking care of Dasher for the last couple of years and is my go-to for times I need to be away.

Martha was so kind and attentive with my cat, Sophie. She made sure Sophie was fed and played with and sent lots of photos. She even went the extra mile and cleaned up Sophie’s mess when she wrecked my apartment. I’ll definitely be booking with Martha again when I go out of town!

Emma was wonderful with Knox! She followed all of our instructions, kept us updated throughout her visits, and sent the sweetest photos. Knox clearly loved having her around. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands and would 100% use Emma again!

Ciara is everything you could ask for in a pet sitter and so much more!!! It’s a lot easier to find reliable dog lovers than cat on Rover, so I was extremely lucky to find Ciara! I have never felt so confident and secure about leaving my cats in the care of another person, I was finally able to enjoy my vacation without constantly worrying. It is an amazing feeling and I couldn’t have ever expected it. I am forever thankful for Ciara’s kindness and cat hearted spirit. She made even my anxious baby fearless and cuddly. I will absolutely be requesting for her services again!!

Elisabeth was a great sitter. We booked her for our two cats and also for some indoor and outdoor plant watering. She was timely, responsive, and took care of pets and home. We had a fluorescent light randomly break (or maybe not randomly considering cats lol) in the basement and she let us know immediately and also took the extra step to clean it up. Would recommend!

Amanda was amazing with my 2 boys......who she never even saw lol. They are both pretty anti social and wanted nothing to do with someone who isn't mom. She did hear them one day though! Amanda still came over and made sure their cat needs were met and even hung out to try to coax them out a bit and left temptations in her wake for them to find. Absolutely would recommend and rebook whenever we go away

Haley was amazing!! It was Riley's first time being alone for so long and Haley made sure to make her feel super loved and cared for while we were away. She provided lots of pictures and updates. We will definitely be booking her again the next time we need someone to take care of Riley 😊

Brianna is fantastic and genuinely the best person I’ve ever found on rover!! She was so attentive and trustworthy when we left our cats for 3 weeks in a new city. Brianna is kind, gentle, responsible, and caring; you can tell she loves animals and has experience with taking care of cats, especially playing with them, taking out the litter, etc. She cleaned up their messes (shredded toilet paper, litter) and took out the trash regularly. We came home to happy cats and a clean house (without litter/cat food smells) which isn’t always the case with cat sitters. I could not recommend Brianna enough!!
