“Kimberly is great- Emmy loves her! She makes traveling so much easier, and she takes adorable photos of Emmy with the zoomies, playing hide-and-seek, and curled up looking cozy. Couldn't be happier!”
“Stephen goes above and beyond to make sure our pups and our house are well cared for. He is attentive to details and trustworthy. He sends updates and pictures often. We will definitely ask him to sit for us again, thank you Stephen!!”
“CJ is awesome! I recently booked him for pet sitting at my house and he took wonderful care of my pup abs my home while I was traveling for my job. He is very communicative, and checked in frequently with updates and pics of my dog having fun. He took meticulous notes on how to address my pup’s specific needs and meds, and I can tell he loves caring for people’s pets. He was also very respectful of my house and left it in great shape after his stay. I highly recommend CJ and plan to rebook next time I need care of my best girl”
“Trinia is a very professional dog carer. She is kind, competent and very reliable. I feel completely comfortable leaving Maxi with her and would have no hesitation in recommending her to others.”
“Amara is the best. When I returned from a weekend awa, my puppy, Loki, was relaxed and happy. Amara listened carefully to all of my instructions, and followed them all. When she had a question about them, she texted me. She also sent lots of photos. Could not have asked for more! I will book again! I would give 20 stars if I could. Ann”
“Elissa did a wonderful job! She was a loving caretaker to our cat and our house was spic and span when we returned from our trip. Elissa was great to work with and patient with all our instructions. We recommend her!”
“Jeanette was amazing. Jake was being difficult and wouldn’t come in but Jeannette wouldn’t give up and go to bed till she finally got him in at 3AM. I felt bad and told her to go to bed, but she wouldn’t until he was in. He is usually good for her and comes in before dark,, but not this time.”
About: What sets me apart is that I don’t believe in one size fits all pet care. I’ve raised my high-energy Husky, Zafiro, since she was a baby, which taught me firsthand the importance of patience, structure, exercise, and consistency,especially for puppies and active breeds. I’ve also raised my cat Rambo from a kitten, giving me a deep understanding of feline personalities and care, from playful to independent. From zoomy puppies to chill seniors, tiny fluffballs to big personalities, I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, energy levels, and special needs. Every pet is different, and I love learning what makes each one feel safe, loved, and confident. I care for every pet like they’re my own—because to me, they’re family and deserve nothing less. My schedule is super pet-friendly! I don’t start work until 10am, so mornings are perfect for walks or feedings. Lunch is flexible, so midday potty breaks are easy, and I’m free on weekends too. With my Husky Zafiro, I’m used to morning, afternoon, and evening walks and feedings—keeping your pet’s routine happy and on track is no problem! 1 Dog husky, 1 Cat. I make pets feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I keep them on their usual routine, so they stay comfortable and stress-free. Your furry friend can enjoy an extra crate, plenty of toys, and a private patio to relax, plus all the cuddles and attention they deserve.
“We are so glad that we had someone as thoughtful, diligent, patient, and dog loving as Katie watching our pups! She went way above and beyond what we could have hoped for from amazing frequent updates (making us feel like we were still there with them), taking care of them exactly how we would, and taking care of the apartment so well (it looks more clean than when we left it). The piece de resistance were thoughtful report cards with such specific details that we’ll treasure. WOW. We would gladly have Katie watch our pups again in the future ?”
“John did a fantastic job taking care of Fenway and Rosie! He communicated with me daily, sharing pictures and video clips. They were happy and well loved. More over, John left the house in exceptional condition.”
“Shalese was excellent as always! We know Dre loves we she comes to care for him and she does a fantastic job! Her updates are perfect and she always leaves our apartment clean and well taken care of as well.”

For dog walking, I ensure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and suited to your dog’s energy level, with plenty of exercise and opportunities for mental stimulation.
“Zoe was fantastic and thoughtful while taking care of my senior dog (requiring meds and a special diet). Zoe asked all the right questions beforehand and was an exceptional house and dogsitter. I’m looking forward to her help in the future. And highly recommend her from my first experience.”
“Arianna was really receptive to Willow's needs and very communicative. We really appreciate that she went above and beyond to give Willow company and to make her comfortable. She was also a terrific and considerate house guest. We recommend her wholeheartedly to other pet owners!”
“Holly is fantastic! She is easy to communicate with and flexible. We appreciated her thoroughness when caring for the dogs and her cleanliness with our apartment. Holly is very calm and warm; the girls opened up to her quickly. She is a sitter we will contact again and would highly recommend!”
“Ghazaal was with our dogs for a few days at our house, and we left her with somewhat complicated instructions and medication schedules. She handled it all beautifully, was great with the dogs and kept us updated with pictures. We came home to a tidy house and happy dogs.”

Green Acres pet parents share their Rover experiences
Emma was wonderful. She stayed in our home for a week with our two dogs and did an excellent job keeping them on their normal schedule, giving medications on time, and spending lots of quality time with them. We really appreciated her care and attention and came home to two very happy dogs. We’d happily book her again.
Maria is the only person my pets will let in the house. She is wonderful, patient and communicative. We received photos and updates the entire time we were gone. If we go out of town again we definitely know who to call. We highly recommend Maria for all of your pet sitting needs.
Barbara is amazing!! She took care of our two dogs for a week and not only gave them lots of love and attention, she also is a fantastic communicator—-really listening to our instructions, asking questions when needed, and giving us updates. We are always nervous with one of our dogs because she is a little high maintenance, but Barbara figured her out right away. What brings this whole experience to the next level was that one of our dogs came down with a GI issue right before we left. We even considered staying home. She needed pretty much constant watching and woke up every couple of hours each night. This was obviously not what we had expected, but Barbara never complained and gave our poor sick girl all the love and care she needed, even making some special food for her and taking care of some meds. Barbara handled all of this flexibly and with confidence and professionalism. Thank you, Barbara! We hope you can watch our girls again when everyone is healthy!
Trina was once again wonderful with our two little dogs, including an elderly chihuahua who required more special care. I felt confident leaving them with her, which was a great help in itself. She sent helpful updates and photos, and we came home to happy, well cared for dogs and a tidy house.
Kari was wonderful with my puppy Nina! She is very calm and professional in her interactions with Nina and knows how to handle/correct her jumping up on people (and other behaviors a young dog still needs to learn not to do.) When we came home, Nina was sleeping and completely relaxed around Kari even though she had never seen her before that evening. And when Kari left, my little pup sat sadly in front of the door and couldn’t believe that her new friend just disappeared. This was the first time I had to leave my pup with anyone for the evening and I couldn’t be happier!
Guilherme took care of our dog and cat during the Christmas and new years holiday. He sent many updates with photos, helped bring the garbage bins inside and collect mail and left our home more organized than when we left. Highly recommend and definitely hope to use his services again when we travel. Thanks Guilherme!
Electra was the perfect sitter for my long trip away for the holidays! She was very communicative and sent many photos, and even offered to do some household tasks if needed. I would definitely book her again in the future, and I highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a responsible pet sitter in the area.
