“Tricia is great! She’s a great sport with my scaredy-cat and my friendlier guy just loves her. House is always tidy after play time and food areas kept clean. And Tricia is an excellent communicator!”
“Hanna is fantástic ! We have had her care for Jones, our energetic cattle dog several times. She is punctual and communicates with us every step of the way. 10/10!”
“We have been so grateful to have Rebecca visiting our pups during the day. She has been great at communicating for scheduling and with updates on the visits. Finding someone who is comfortable working with both a senior dog and a large puppy (especially at the same time) has been great, and knowing that she understands the puppy's phases from her own experience is even better.”
“Yingchu was a lovely sitter! Followed my instructions to the T. My cat was well and joyful upon my return. Couldn't be happier with Yingchu's service!”
“Bahisha did a great job with our kitty! :) Would definitely rebook her services. She was also very communicative when we had an issue with our water and our landlord needed information and she made sure to bring in all of our mail while we were away.”
“Jessie is super great with my baby, Cleo! The more Jessie comes, the more Cleo is getting super comfortable with her and all her anxiety and triggers have been going away in the amount of time with Jessie. Jessie knows how to calm her anxiety down from being a great listener when telling her things about Cleo and how to handle Cleo. Jessie is very calming, warm, and a loving dog lover. She is also trustworthy and you can really count on her to come when you need. She makes time to fit you in her schedule when in need!! She’s super sweet and gentle with Cleo.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience. Loads of pictures of feeding time and playtime. Genuinely felt involved in the care of my pets. Also wore shoe covers, which I cannot overstate how much I appreciate.”
“Lauren was great! Super responsive and communicative both before and during her stop in. She also sent me tons of photos of my guy too. Would absolutely recommend Lauren and work with her again!”
“I recently had a family emergency which I had to travel for unexpectedly, leaving my cat behind. Katlyn was wonderful with Linus! She sent me many photos and videos that put my mind at ease knowing she was being cared for in my absence. Katlyn was very communicative and I was really grateful for her check ins! Would HIGHLY recommend!”
“Alexa was so sweet and attentive with my cats! She was communicative and sent updates during every visit. I feel like she went above and beyond to make sure my kitties were taken care of while I was out of town. Thank you for allowing me to travel without worrying about the wellbeing of my fur babies ❤️❤️”
“My antisocial cat loves River! This is the second time River has taken care of my fur baby, and the two of them seemed to pick up right where they left off the first time. My cat requires a bit of extra attention due to medical needs, and I am relieved to find that River is able to meet these requirements with more ease that I was expecting. I will absolutely continue to request them first for my kitty’s care when I am out of town.”
“Sally was absolutely fabulous with my cat!! The pictures she sent were adorable, and I could definitely tell my cat trusted her, and very much appreciated all the pets while I was away. I couldn't be happier.”
“Jackie was great! I felt very comfortable leaving Clem under her care while I was out of town. She sent photos and updates after her drop in. Looking forward to using Jackie again in the future when I leave town!”
About: Hi! I'm a young professional with a flexible schedule. I love dogs, and I'm excited to help you give your dogs all the love and care they deserve! I have experience walking both meandering sniffers and high-energy runners. I'm comfortable with both small and large dogs of all ages. I currently live with two large dogs, and I know how to love on dogs who know they're royalty, anxious dogs, dogs who eat EVERYTHING, picky eaters, elderly dogs who can't get around as well as they used to, dogs who never slow down, and goofy dogs who can't get enough of your attention. When staying with your furry best friend, we'll go for walks, play fetch, and snuggle as much as they want. I'm also open to taking them on adventures close by if they enjoy car rides. I can't wait to become friends with your dog! I'm currently studying part time with a flexible schedule, so I'm happy to do what I can to make my visit fit your preferred schedule. I have a "leave no trace" policy when visiting someone's home, whether for a quick stop or an extended stay. Your pet is the focus of my time there, so I do my best to give each pet what they need to be happy and healthy.
“Madeline took excellent care of our big golden retriever! She came out to our house in the morning and evening to feed and walk him. She was always within the time frame that we requested and sent multiple pictures of him each time! Would highly recommend her to care for your dog!”

Natalie W.
“Natalie loves each of our dogs as if they were her own. She is attentive to their individual needs... and they vary greatly from our older female labs soft temperament, our male choc. lab's extreme need for extra LOVE, our jack/rat terrier's nervous quirks and helping to settle her, to our year old female bull dog... and she IS a bull dog!, Natalie reaches out to each one of them in the manner that helps them in their unique ways. She cares for our little pack while we are away and they seem relaxed and happy when we return. We definitely recommend Natalie for your pet's care!”

Girard Estates pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rebecca did a great job taking care of my dog. She followed directions carefully, even bringing down her toys from my room, and she was patient in helping my dog eat when she was struggling. Rebecca communicated well throughout the stay, and I felt confident my pup was in good hands. I would definitely hire her again!
Katrina did a wonderful job with our cat over a long weekend. She was consistent and communicative. She is a true cat lover and met all of Gene’s needs. Would call on her again in an instant! We returned to find everything in good order and a happy, settled cat!
Nina did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away for a week. She came over, free of charge, prior to starting drop in visits to get an idea of the lay out of my apartment in order to take the best care of Siri; she said she prefers to do this in order to limit interruptions while pet owners are out of town. Nina and I were in communication only when necessary. She did send videos of Siri which I appreciated. I also forgot to mention my Litter Genie when she came over. But, she brought her own trash bags in order to dispose of used litter. Flexible, friendly, and responsible! I will definitely book with her again the next time I’m out of town. Thank you!
Emily is a caring and communicative cat sitter who always goes above and beyond to ensure our fur babies are content while we are away. We have trusted Emily to watch our cats multiple times, and will continue to do so into the future! Would highly recommend to anyone in the area :)
