“I am so grateful they were able to drop in on such short notice! They also took pictures and were communicative when needed. I would book with them again!”


“My only experience with a dog sitter and I’m so happy we went with them. I have 3 dogs and one is fearful of most things especially humans and he warmed up to them eventually. Thats a huge deal for us and we are beyond grateful to find people we can trust for our pack. ❤️”


“Skyler did such a great job catsitting for our two kitties!! She was very communicative and sent pictures while we were gone. Skyler made sure she knew how to administer our cats medications before we left, and we felt confident in her with her past experience. I would definitely recommend Skyler to anyone needing a reliable pet sitter:)”


“We asked Brigit to check in on our cat while my wife and I were out of town for two weeks. She has a calm, professional attitude and was quick to respond to questions. After meeting her, it felt easy to trust her with our furry companion as well as letting her into our home. Everyday we looked forward to a photo of our cat from Brigit which really put our minds at ease. We would definitely hire her again.”


“Patrick is so amazing. I am very grateful for his help with taking care of my pup. He is so flexible and accommodating with scheduling. My dog absolutely loves him.”


“Michael was wonderful with my cat while I was traveling. Very kind, communicative and professional. He even left her an extra little bag of treats. Highly recommend.”



“Kristen was wonderful! We were so worried about leaving our cat and got home to a happy and healthy boy!! Thank you Kristen! You’re wonderful, as our cat likes very few people. We especially appreciated the pictures you’d send of Bradley. Thank you!!”


“My cat adored Ali. They played and cuddled, and of course Ali fed her well and groomed her and took good care of her and the house. She reliably kept her appointments for two weeks and sent me great photos and messages twice a day. I will absolutely use Ali's services again!”


“Rachel took great care of our three cats while we were away for 10 days. She communicated well, and got pictures of cats at each day she visited (except for our known shy guy). I have no hesitation booking with her again. Thank you.”


“Jesus was super friendly and our pups took to him right away. I received pictures daily and came back to 2 happy and safe dogs! Thank you Jesus will definitely see you again soon!”


“Greg is amazing! He was able to help us out last minute and our Kenzie loved him. He spent time with both my cat and dog and gave them cuddles and attention when we were away. Highly recommend him!”


About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent, caring for animals is truly one of my greatest joys. I currently share my home with two lovable pups, and I’m also a proud grandparent to three grand-doggies and one grand-kitten—yes, it's a full and furry family! With years of personal experience and a genuine passion for animals, I bring both heart and hands-on knowledge to every walk and pet check-in. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, including senior dogs needing a little extra love—whether it’s administering medications, helping with mobility, or just providing that gentle, loving presence they deserve. Before diving into pet care full-time, I was an elementary school teacher, which means patience, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own—with kindness, care, and lots of tail wags! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! Currently, I am available for drop ins and walks two times per day. This summer, my schedule is far more open and could easily fit additional times, as needed. I would follow whatever directions/guidelines are provided for me so that your pet(s) routines are kept as close to what they are used to as possible.

“Sam was the best! She was able to accommodate my last minute check ins on my two boys. I felt safe letting her into my home. I arrived home to them waiting and they were well taken care of. I 100% recommend and will use her services in the future.”


“Monique took excellent care of my dog while I was away! Shoelace took to her immediately and seemed very happy in all of the pictures Monique sent. It was so great to come home to a happy, relaxed pup and know she was well looked after. I will definitely hire Monique again in the future! Thanks, Monique :)”


About: Since I started providing pet care through Rover, I have gained experience caring for older dogs, puppies, dogs with special hearing needs, and dogs and cats with strict allergies or dietary restrictions. I have grown up taking care of my family's dogs and cats and am experienced with large, medium, and small dogs, old and young dogs and cats, and pets with a variety of backgrounds and stories. I've been dog-walking and pet-sitting for neighbors and family friends intermittently since I was 11. I have also helped friends pet-sit on Rover before and I love getting to know new dogs and cats because each pet is so unique. I work Monday-Thursday from 8am-4:30pm, which is why I list myself as fully available Thursday evenings-Sundays. I am passionate about spending time with and caring for animals, but my current home does not allow pets. Walking and being active outside is very important to my daily routine already and I'd love to help make walking and being outside part of your pet's routine as well! Having grown up with a range of dog personalities, I understand that unpredictable scenarios and reactions can happen and that it's important to be very alert and focused when taking care of pets - especially when they are around new people.


“Natalya is the BEST. So flexible (we are in the middle of a big addition and temporarily don’t even have a front door any more!) and the dogs adore her. Adore. She is our all time favorite dog sitter and we will 100% use her again if she’ll have us.”


“Amber was lovely to my cat and followed all the additional instructions I gave her very well. My boy warmed up to her a bit during her visit, which is always nice to see, as he can be very skittish. Her notes and pictures were great. She even came out to my house again before her visits started after I mistakenly gave her the mail key we needed. Amber is very friendly, prepared, and communicative! I will absolutely be reaching out again if I need the services!”

My dog loves her, and they really have a special bond! Also, her daily updates and photos really helped with my separation anxiety. I highly recommend Toli to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring loving dog-sitter.”
