“Sarah was so great, she gave detailed updates and lots of pictures every drop in for my kitty. You can tell she cares if about the animals and their well being, and goes above and beyond.”


“We were so lucky to have Kathryn help us! We have two dogs, fish and a rescue bunny that needed a little extra attention. Kathryn even helped cover a bunny nest at let-outs each day that we discovered in our yard! She was prompt, communicated well and very kind to our animals. We would definitely use her help in the future.”


“We give two paws up (each!) for Jen! Gracie appreciates the respectful attention to her royal routine, and Louie feels safe, seen, and even a little braver while we are in her care. Jen gives us space when we need it and love when we ask — exactly how a cat likes it! Mom likes that she always comes home to find us calm, happy, and very well cared for. Highly recommend for any feline household with quirks, royalty, or shy sweethearts like us. – Queen Gracie & Louie the Brave 🐾”


“Collette was wonderful! Not only did she take great care of our boys (2 cats)- she made the effort to come over to our home prior to this to meet them and learn more about them and their needs. She was friendly and truly presents as someone that cares for animals in a special way. She made sure our cats got what they needed and made the extra effort to give them some affection and play time. She sent pictures of them (lovely to get while you're away!) and updated us on everything when she came to our home. One of our cats takes a transdermal medication and this can be a little tricky, but Collette was confident about it and had no issue administering it. We were reluctant to find someone to take care of our cats but this has been a great experience. We will absolutely be rebooking her in the future! Thank you, Collette!”


“Kelly was great! She followed all of my instructions and was very kind to my babies. I would definitely recommend her to anyone going away and in need of some help. I’m happy my babies have someone to play with them while we’re gone. I’m excited for her to come back◡̈”



“Another great visit with Joan, who graciously agreed to help us at the last minute. We never worry about our dog when Joan comes to care for her.”


“Beckie has been amazing taking care of my 2 cats. One is shy and one is person friendly cat. She updates on what they do together daily! I would hire her.”


“I have booked Annie in the past to watch my cat. She is absolutely great! Wonderful with communication and sending pictures after each visit. I 100% trust leaving my cat in her care while I’m away. I will definitely be utilizing her again in the future!”


“Clarissa was absolutely amazing!! She helped us with our 3 pups very last minute and exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much!!”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with personal experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have a cat of my own and, in the past, I cared for two wonderful senior dogs, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and gentle care—especially for older pets. I’m reliable, compassionate, and happy to provide the kind of attention and comfort that helps pets feel at ease while you're away. I work full-time during the weekdays but have flexibility for early morning and evening visits before and after work. My weekends are generally open, with the exception of a bit of time on Sundays for church. I'm happy to discuss a schedule that works best for your pet's needs and can be consistent and reliable with routines. Normally, pets need attention at least twice a day. I understand the need for basic pet needs, such as feeding, walks outside, changing the cat litter, water, etc. I also understand the need for a pet to be entertained and played with. I, of course, would be happy to continue your normal routines and needs for your pet while you are away!

“This was my first time using a dog walker and it worked out great. Jang Mee made time to come over before hand to meet my puppy and see my home. For the drop in visit she fed my puppy, took him out and played with him. She sent pictures and I could see my puppy was very happy. I would recommend her.”


“Kaitlin was wonderful! I highly recommend her!!! She communicated everyday and gave us peace of mind while we were gone!!!”


“I am new to Rover and Amanda made the experience easy. Upon meeting Amanda we knew we were in good hands. Amanda answered all my questions and told me what to expect with the app and her notes from the drop in visits reassured me that things were going well with our dog. What a great experience, thank you Amanda.”


“Aga was really wonderful with my cat. He is shy and doesn't like to come out when strangers are there. Aga sent pictures and every time he was "out and about." Everything was perfectly in order when I came home. Aga is great and I highly recommend.”


“Britt was absolutely amazing!! Our dog doesn't like new people taking her out right away, but she took to Britt within just a couple days. Very easy to work with and 100000% recommend!”


About: Hi, I’m Ryan a lifelong pet lover with 4 cats, 1 dog, and years of hands-on experience! Your pets will be treated like family with me because that’s exactly how I treat my own. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust when it comes to your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m working as a part time contractor right now with a flexible schedule. I’m available mornings, evenings, and nights to work around your pets needs. As someone who lives with 4 cats and a dog, I understand how important it is to provide a calm, secure, and pet-friendly environment. I treat every animal in my care with the same level of attention and love I give to my own. • I closely follow your instructions for feeding, medication, routines, and quirks • I create a stress-free environment for cats, with quiet spaces, gentle handling, and plenty of patience • For dogs, I ensure safe walks, avoid risky interactions, and keep them active and happy • I’m always alert to signs of stress, discomfort, or unusual behavior and will keep you updated • I double-check doors, leashes, litter boxes, and feeding areas to keep everything safe and clean

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 6. From my own cats and dogs, to pet sitting for neighbors and friends. I began my professional working career working in non-profit, animal welfare. I have long since changed careers and now stay home with my four kiddos. My kiddos have grown up with both dogs and cats and they share my love and respect for animals. Sadly, we lost our princess of a pup, Lizzie, a few years ago to cancer. She was such a joy, my husband and I adopted her back in January of 2014, at the time she was about 7 years old. I still miss her everyday, she was a snuggler and slept with us every night since we brought her home. To us, animals are truly members of the family and we will treat your sweet baby/babies as such also. We have a fully fenced yard. Our home has plenty of space for your pup/pups and all their things. We are big on walks and playing outside, which your pup is always welcome to join in on. Please know that we will treat your sweet pup/pups as one of our own. If your dog needs medicine or vitamins, that is no problem as I am very comfortable with that. Just to note, we also have two cats who are very used to dogs. I am a REALTOR and stay home full time with my kiddos. My husband also works 100% from home so there is always someone here. We have a fully fenced in yard and kiddos who love to snuggle and play with pups. We also live in a very dog friendly neighborhood.

“Alexa was amazing with my 2 VERY overactive dogs! She is sweet, patient and reliable! 1 of my dogs can be untrustworthy with strangers due to anxiety, making it difficult to have a pet sitter. Alexa definitely didnt stray away from that, she was able to help my dog feel comfortable and get her a little more calm..I highly recommend her services and trust her fully with my fur babies and my home.”


“This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn't have found someone better than Jennifer! We met ahead of time to make sure this would be a good fit for all, and we were quickly at comfort with her and her line of questions about how to care for our dog. She also provided some great photos of him while we were gone, so we knew he was being well taken care of. Boom Jennifer - you won't be disappointed!”


About: I bring patience, genuine love, and experience to every pet I care for. Whether it’s a lively puppy needing basic training and socialization or a senior pet requiring gentle care and medication, I adapt my approach to fit their unique needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, reinforcing commands like sit and stay, and providing extra cuddles or calm companionship when needed. What truly sets me apart is my dedication to communication—I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel connected and confident. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat every animal like part of my family. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life—I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority in my schedule. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or cozy evenings with a furry friend, I structure my day to make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m dependable, flexible, and committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and at home—whether it’s just for a day or a whole week. In your home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I follow all feeding, potty, and playtime instructions closely and give plenty of love, attention, and gentle care. I make sure your pet feels safe, whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping things calm and quiet.
