About: I absolutely love animals and had several when I was growing up! From cats to dogs to fish to ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, rabbits, lizards.. I believe nothing compares to the companionship of a pet. I've always been the go to person to watch my family or friends pets because they know I am going to love them as if they're my own. I have two senior dogs, a partially blind cat, and a feisty cichlid (water pokemon). I am familiar with distributing oral medications and I'm willing to learn what is required for your babies needs I work 2pm-10pm, Sunday -Thursday I AM AVAILABLE ALL DAY FRIDAYS and SATURDAYS!! I am also available before and after my shift during work days. Just keep me posted, and we'll figure it out. I have 2 senior dogs, a partially blind cat, and a cichlid (fish). I love animals and would treat my clients pet as if they were my own 💜 I am very nurturing and would do what is required to make my clients pet comfortable and happy!
“Andrea was amazing with my dog Parker. She was very loving and spent a lot of time with him. Parker can be picky when it comes to food and she was great, she made sure he ate all his meals at his time. He was also healing from a hotspot and she took great care of it, it was all heal by the time I came back home. I could tell Parker had a good time with her. I would recommend Andrea 100%. We will be booking again with her for sure.”
“Julia is THE BEST! Our pups absolutely adored having her stay with them. She sent pictures to show all the fun things they were doing and gave them all the love! We felt so comfortable having Julia in our house and will definitely have her back when we go away next.”
“Watched our dogs on short notice due to a death in our family. Great communicator and was able to handle our 15 year old dog with many medications. Highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend if you have dogs with anxiety issues like ours! Chrissonna was patient and understanding with our 10 month old pup who has stranger danger, and our 5 year old pup who is reactive towards other dogs.”
“Meghan took great care of my dog. I had piece of mind while on travel which is priceless in my opinion. I would definitely recommend Meghan and hope she is free the next time I need a sitter.”
“Bryanna did a great job caring for our 7 pets for 7 days! We have 3 big dogs & 4 cats so not many people would be able to handle caring for all of them but we were blessed to find Bryanna. Would definitely book with her again. She will take great care of your fur babies and she also left our home very clean.”
“Bianca was great with our two golden retrievers while we were away for a long weekend. She made sure they had plenty of snuggles and love and was very attentive to detail. We absolutely recommend booking with Bianca!”
“This was my first Rover booking and it couldn’t have gone better thanks to Brad. He was professional and took the odd feeding and activity requests in stride. I enjoyed getting pictures of our dog, who surprisingly ate all of his food while we were away. (A first for us, since our dog is happiest when we are home.) I couldn’t even tell someone had stayed in the house when we returned. I also appreciate that he adjusted the schedule when we learned we needed to leave earlier than originally planned. Communication was prompt and clear. He made a point to meet and connect with our dog before we traveled. While he has other jobs, it’s clear Brad is professional in his approach to dog sitting and not just someone available when they are home from school etc (not that there is anyone wrong with that)”
“Lishi cared for my pets like they were her own, and sent plenty of updates and pictures which made being away from them much easier. She even left the house cleaner than she found it, which was a fantastic surprise. We will be using her again!”
“Molly was incredible in taking care of my pup and house. She was consistent in giving me updates with great photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter and I plan on using her services again in the near future.”
“Our boys loved Scarlet and love having her company! We were so happy to have Scarlet care for them the first time leaving them with anyone but family! Thank you again!”

“We were so happy with everything!! Our kitties and house were super well taken care of. Ellie had no issues giving our cat medicine when he bumped his lip and needed antibiotics right before we left for our trip. We loved the pics and updates as well. Hope to get to use her again!!”
“Amber did an amazing job and took the best care of our older dog. She is such a sweet person and working with her really is a pleasure. She is punctual and attentive. She sent us status updates & photos which made us feel much more at ease while we were in a new city. We adore her and know your pet will too!”

First Ward pet parents share their Rover experiences
We used Rover and Eric Patota for the first time to care for our dog Lily and cat Pinot. Eric was very kind and patient with our girls and by the end of the second day Pinot was cuddling in his lap! Both our pets have kidney disease so it was important that they have lots of fresh water, and for Lily, frequent walks outside. We also hired Eric for housesitting so he spent nights at our condo as well as daily visits. This gave us incredible peace of mind. In addition Eric sent us multiple daily pictures of our girls and texts to assure us they were doing well. We couldn’t have left Lily and Pinot with any petsitter more compassionate than Eric! Eric will be coming again in October to petsit for us, and we hope, frequently in the future.
We absolutely love Allie! She has stayed overnight at our home with our cat and dog on several occasions. We always come home to happy pets and a clean house. Allie goes above and beyond, particularly for our dog who requires special care. We were out of the country for her latest stay, and felt totally comfortable knowing our pets we're in good hands.
Brittany was the perfect sitter! We have three dogs of varying ages and activity levels, as well as 8 chickens, and Brittany was incredibly attentive and responsive. I received great photo updates and the dogs and chickens all are so happy. Definitely recommend her for any pet sitting needs!
Rachel was awesome! She watched my dog for a few days while I was away on a little trip and I felt very comfortable with her. She was a great communicator and very responsive. She sent updates whenever I checked in. Rachel also went above and beyond when my dogs medication wasn’t going to be delivered until after I left and she was able to make sure to get it and give it to my dog! Would definitely use her again and recommend her to others!
We were so happy with everything!! Our kitties and house were super well taken care of. Ellie had no issues giving our cat medicine when he bumped his lip and needed antibiotics right before we left for our trip. We loved the pics and updates as well. Hope to get to use her again!!
Brad did a fantastic job watching our dog Darwin in our home while we were away this week! He was great to communicate with and took such good care of both our dog and our home. We would definitely use Brad again in the future and highly recommend for dog sitting needs!
Jacquelyn took such good care of Athena! Athena was a little sick and Jacquelyn took amazing care of her and made sure she was nursed back to health. It was evident how much Jacquelyn loved and pampered our girl while we were gone! She honestly went above and beyond and we truly appreciate her for it. We’ll definitely be recommending her to all our friends and will be using her again for future trips!
We are beyond grateful for the amazing care our 18-year-old Shih-poo, Patty Cake, received while we were away. At her age, she needs extra love and attention, and Andrew, our sitter went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, safe, and happy. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such capable, compassionate hands. Andrew treated Patty Cake like family—with patience, gentleness, and genuine affection. We came home to a calm, well-cared-for pup, and we couldn't be more thankful. Highly recommend this service to anyone looking for dependable and truly caring pet care. We’ll definitely be booking again!
Ashly was wonderful! Our dog Rosie unexpectedly went into her first heat right before our trip, so we had to make last minute arrangements for her. Ashly saved us and took great care of Rosie. She was caring and trustworthy and sent lots of pictures and updates. Rosie had to wear diapers and had to take bathroom breaks during the night, and Ashly was so patient and kind. She also took great care of our house while we were away. We definitely want to have her sit for Rosie again soon!!
