James was very helpful with our pittie when we went away for the weekend. He visited twice a day, took her on a walk and sent pictures of her eating and walking outside. We will definitely use James again to look after Ivy! She loved him.

This was Rebekah’s first time sitting for our two cats and she was amazing! Our usually shy cat warmed up to her instantly, which is rare and meant so much to us. She sent great photos and videos and took excellent care of our babies. We felt totally at ease and would absolutely book with her again.

Olivia was reliable, communicative, and clearly very caring. I really appreciated the updates and photos — it gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. She was attentive to instructions and made sure my dog was well taken care of each visit. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable and kind pet care!

About: Fur friends are enjoyable to be around, whether they are my pets or yours. When I am caring for pets, I am especially aware of their individual needs, their body language and their need for physical activity. My pets can tell me through their body language when they have had a good or bad sitter experience. When I care for your pets, I want your fur family to tell you that they had a good sitter experience. Happy wags and meows! During the week, I work from home but I have flexibility to drop in to check on your pets. I am also able to take them on walks or run around the back yard, if that is what they need. My desire is to provide a safe environment for your fur family when you are unavailable to care for them. I am trustworthy and intend to demonstrate that character trait to you. I treat others the way I want to be treated, including pets.

We are so glad we found Stormee to drop-in and take care of our puppy. We were in a pinch with our work schedules and needed a last-minute dog sitter. From first contact, Stormee gave us comfort and confidence by asking thorough questions about our pup’s care and keeping us informed every step of the way. If you’re new to Rover or just looking for a friendly, well-communicating and professional dog-sitter, please reach out to Stormee.

Kimberly walked into a difficult first time situation to manage my brother's pet cat's improperly maintained litter box. My brother is in assisted living,(Florida) and does have cognitive issues. He, by mistake discarded the scooper. Kimberly was in her rights to quit right there. Instead she informed me of the problems and opted to try one more visit. I, (NJ), saw to it to provide items needed. Who could ask for a better second chance. Kimberly is most definitely a caring professional. Hopefully it goes better going forward. I am prepared to at some point look to get Nicholas (the cat), adopted, but for now I thank Kimberly for her great efforts.

About: I provide a warm loving home to all pets. Treat them as they are my own furry kids. I can help with training, medicating, bathing, trimming nails and more. I've worked with animals for over 12 years in the Veterinary field and have the medical knowledge to take care of them. I have a huge heart for them. I will make sure they are comfortable and cared for and I want families to feel good about leaving their pets under someone's care and I know with me they will. I'm such a huge animal person that mine are my fur kids and that's how I treat anyone else's pet. Go for walks, hikes, car rides and comfy nights on the couch or bed. I have had 5 dogs on my bed with me in the past! Haha I even keep the TV on when out of the house but I always leave the radio on. Anything to make them feel good and sometimes just something to listen to calms them down. I know how they can get depressed when family is gone so I do my best to play with them and get them to eat good while you are gone. I have my tricks. I have that connection and patience with animals :) I am part time work and school full time. I come everyday at lunch to walk Skrat. M/W/F I’m In school to 845-530 and work is Tuesday/Thurs 730-430 If I care for your pet at my house I have a secured fenced yard and a doggy door. If you prefer I kennel then then I will follow your rules. I am up early and home early enough to let them outside and feed them at a decent time. I tend to tell owners with nervous dogs that it’s best the pet to stay home and I come there 2-3 times a day depending on the distance from my own home and work.

Jasmine is AMAZING!!! We have 4 HIGH energy dogs with separation anxiety and we, ourselves, have mad anxiety about leaving them alone for any period of time. She was open to helping us scent-train our dogs to learn her smell before coming over. And she was also open to both meeting us and doing a trial visit before we booked out a longer trip. On the day of the actual visit, she was SO communicative + helpful the entire time. Plenty of pictures and the pups who are wary of strangers, LOVE HER. We are so relieved to have found the perfect dog sitter for our babies and can rest-easy knowing they will be in her care while we’re gone. Book her!!!

About: When I turned 20, I went to the pound and got my first dog Ellie. In the past years, she made me learn responsibility and love. I am currently unemployed because I am focusing on school! So I pretty much have open availability to spend time with your lovely pet and more! my biggest thing is quality time and love with your fur baby! We will be adventurous and find new scents around the neighborhood. I will also make sure that they get their playtime, get well fed, and clean up after any messes!

About: My profile saids Michelle, but please call me Micah 🙏😊 My first time caring for a dog was when my family adopted a miniature, silver-haired, poodle puppy, that I named Shadow back in 2007 before attending university. Before graduating high school, my neighbors would ask me to look after their own four-legged family members (mostly dogs and cats) when they went out of town. I provided excellent care for their pets as if they were my own. I also have experience from working at a dog daycare and boarding facility between 2015 and 2016. The facility hosted dogs as small as Yorkies and as big as Great Danes. My duties at the daycare was to supervise play, clean up after the dogs, keep the facility clean, stay overnight for dogs that were boarding, help with feeding, give oral medication and provide transportation for dogs to their preferred vets whenever necessary. Since 2016, I have been providing pet care services through Rover and making long-lasting relationships with families and their furkids. I'm also open to taking care of of other pets as well. We'll just discuss beforehand. I currently work 25-40 hours per week at a salon, so pups that can go at least 8 hours without a potty break or are chill and comfortable in a salon work environment would be the best fit. I currently live in an apartment complex with a beautiful garden/pool deck with my parents. There’s also plenty of grassy areas around the building. I have more experience as a house sitter and can be trusted to keep up with house chores such as collecting mail, watering plants, taking out the garbage, etc.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have also cared for my own cat for many years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, and on their normal routine. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and care. I’m a full time college student as of right now I have a job at my college that is very flexible to where I can make my own hours. Since it’s summer I don’t have classes so I’m free every day of the week! The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. In a client’s home, I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s behavior to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the trust that comes with caring for someone else’s pet and home, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Rebekah is absolutely exceptional. We trusted her with our cats while our family was overseas, and I honestly cannot imagine having enjoyed our trip as much as we did without her. She provided outstanding care for our pets and cared for our home as if it were her own. During our trip, she discovered a flea issue and immediately jumped into action. She purchased supplies, treated the cats, helped treat the house, kept us informed every step of the way, and handled a stressful situation with professionalism and genuine care. Knowing Rebekah was there allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation instead of worrying from thousands of miles away. She is dependable, proactive, communicative, and truly cares about the animals and families she works with. We came home to happy cats and a home that had been cared for with incredible attention and dedication. We are so grateful for everything she did and would recommend her without hesitation.

Here’s a more organized, polished, but still super casual version with a bit of extra warmth: Justin did an awesome job with my two chihuahuas. They’re usually pretty skeptical of new people, but he was patient enough to get them outside and calm enough to actually go potty, which is a win in my house. He also followed all my oddly specific instructions for my quirky little dogs. Really appreciated how attentive and easygoing he was. I’d definitely book with him again.
