“Meghan was absolutely wonderful and took great care of my pups! They were all very well loved and cared for while I was gone. She was very communicative and sent me daily pictures and updates.”
“Holly is the best cat sitting. She always took pictures of my cat and sent it everyday. She also on top of everything. My Godfrey loves her so much. Thank you, Holly! High recommended her!”
About: I have 3 cats and 2 mice, so I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and small animals. I love dogs and have pet-sat for my friends with small and medium size dogs I work a full time job Monday - Friday. I am available to do drop-ins before 7:30am or after 4:30 pm on weekdays. I am always available in the evenings or weekends. I will follow whatever guidelines the owner's give. Otherwise, my base care is to give dogs 2 walks a day and at least 30 minutes of playtime for both dogs and cats. Ensure the pets are fed and gone potty/clean litterboxes.
“Kyle has been great! Easy to communicate with, extremely helpful, flexible with my ever changing travel schedule, and of course wonderful with my elderly dogs. I’ve booked with him multiple times and will continue to do so in the future.”
“This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Our cat Paintball is often shy around new people, but when Megan came to the house to meet her, she didn't hide and she let Megan pet her right away! While we were away, Megan was great at sending updates and pictures. When we got home, the house was just as we'd left it. Paintball is anxious in stormy weather and it was nice having the peace of mind that Paintball had an emotional support human while we were away :)”
“Mariana is fantastic! She stayed at our house and took care of our dog for 2 1/2 days. Great communicator, and did a wonderful job! Sent of pics of our dog and spent lots of time with her. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Oli took such great care of our pup and house! We loved the updates and really appreciated Oli’s wonderful communication! We always know Maddie (and the house) is in the best hands with Oli when we are away!!”
“Available for a last minute trip, Cindy was a huge help! Responsive, cared for my dog well and kept me updated. I felt comfortably leaving my home and fuzzy buddy in her care.”
“Larry and I LOVE Emily!!!! I have booked a few times and she has taken such great care of Larry. Most recently I was over seas and Larry needed treatment at the vet. No questions asked, she sprung into gear to get him the best treatment possible. She is Larry's and my life saver.”
“Averi did a fantastic job house sitting our wide variety of pets while we were out of town! She communicated with us throughout or travels, sent photos, and ensured everyone was taken care of. Highly recommend her services to others in the area! She cared for our three dogs, large pig, chickens, duck and parrot!”
“Kyla did an amazing job. I had less stress with her taking care of my baby. Mo loved her. She was prompted, on time & communicated well. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Really prompt and super understanding with some last minute issues. Dogs were perfectly content and the house was exactly as I left it. Would def recommend Alex!”
“Rachel is great! Super communicative, reliable, and punctual. She went above and beyond to take good care of our dog for the weekend. Our dog had such a fun time with her and he seemed so calm and content after she left.”

“Once again, Daniel has gone above & beyond to care for our doggos whole house sitting, one of whom currently requires extra medical attention and TLC. Knowing he is caring for them takes a huge mental weight off of travel.”
“Kali is my go-to dog sitter. She always does great with my little Morty Mouse whether its boarding or in-home sitting. She is reliable, communicative, and a true animal lover. Morty knows her by name and always feel safe and loved when we go out of town. Hire Kali and your pets will be loved just like youre at home”
“Vivian was great! This was my first time with a Rover sitter while out of the country and couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She even offered to check in on Mushu in case my flight got delayed. Vivian also has a cat with feline herpes so I felt at ease knowing she knew how to handle his needs and meds.”
