“Kristen is awesome and very sweet. She is quick and effective with her communication, and you can tell she truly loves working with your pet. She’s my first sitter and my dog has really bad anxiety, but yet she was still able to trust Kristen when dropping in. 10 out of 10!”
“Caroline was amazing! Our cat, who is usually skittish and hides with others completely relaxed around her in record time ❤️ Caroline is thorough, kind and patient. It definitely allowed for a more relaxing vacation, knowing our little Daisy was being well cared for :) Colleen”
“Takeema was great with our two dogs Bjorn and Rayne. I could tell both of our dogs enjoyed her company. Takeema would stop by our home while we were away at work. We will contact her again if we were in need of another stop in!”
“Taylor is super communicative about her availability which makes it super easy for me to plan in advance the next time I need a pet sitter! I really appreciate her kindness and Roanoke loves her!”
About: I’ve cared for cats since I was 8 years old. My friends and family know me for helping wild animals whenever the opportunity arises. I have a senior cat now. As a result, friends often turn to me for tips on how to provide extraordinary quality of life to their pets. I’m about to venture into graduate school, and am seeking a part time job in the meantime. Rover will ideally be additional income for me. I provide stability and routine—two things I find extremely instrumental in pet care. I keep a strict feeding regimen, schedule play times, and provide various opportunity for enrichment.
“Amber was very friendly, prompt and professional. She always sent us the best pictures and took the best care of our babies. Our dog who usually pouts and doesn’t eat while we are away actually ate his food and was smiling in all the pictures. She was thorough and even alerted us to some potential health issues (itchy ears) for us to follow up on. We all love Amber and can’t wait to have her come back. Thanks Amber!”
“This was our first time hiring a sitter for our kitty and Ligia was great! She sent us multiple videos and pictures while we were gone. Merry was a much happier kitty when we got home than when we had to take him to the kennel. Definitely will go with Ligia for our next trip!”
About: In the past year alone I’ve spent over 100 hours volunteering at the SPCA walking dogs of all breeds, administering daily medications, playing outdoors with the dogs, & caring for over 25 cats. Along with my volunteer work, I grew up on a farm in King George caring for farm animals. I also grew up with both cats and dogs. I have ample experience in walking dogs, administering medications to dogs with medical needs, participating in dog training, feeding dogs both wet and dry food, and of course, playing ball and tug of war with dogs. 🙂 For cats, I’m experienced with cleaning litter, feeding both wet and dry food, and even leash walking cats. I work in the office 2 days a week from 9am to 4pm. The other 3 days of the business week I telework. I’m available during the week before 9am and anytime after 4pm. I have no time restraints during the weekend and can be available at any time needed. I provide nurturing care to animals of all kind as I would for my own animals. I am trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate. I’m an animal lover through and through and am here to provide support.
“Elena was fantastic! They took amazing care of my dog, Echo, giving him plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. Echo was happy and well taken care of when I returned. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve loved animals since a child. I have 2 decades of experience taking care of dogs. I love to give them affection and care for them. I’m currently working from home so I have lots of flexibility to care for pets. I am home nearly 90% of the time. Pets are friends! I have a large backyard where I have a temporary fence and enclosed play area for your pets. It is safe and the home is secure. My husband and I work together as we both enjoy working with animals.
About: Growing up in a house with a variety of pets taught me that animals aren't just pets—they're family. With a psychology background, I use positive reinforcement to bring out the best in every dog. I'm currently caring for my two middle-aged and senior dogs who need 10 daily medications, so I understand both puppy energy and gentle senior care. As a fellow pet parent and nature lover, I know how important it is to find someone who truly gets it. Your dog will get the same love and attention mine do—because that's what they deserve. I recently left my corporate job to seek a healthier lifestyle. I am in the process of building a business which gives me lots of flexibility to care for your dogs needs at any hour. Early mornings, mid-day, late evenings and even overnight! Just reach out and we will make it work! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities in their own familiar environment. I keep your home secure with doors and windows properly locked, and I'm mindful of any specific safety concerns you've mentioned about your pet or property. I stick to your pet's exact routine—feeding times, walks, medications, everything—because I know staying consistent helps them feel secure when you're away. It's just me giving your furry friend the one-on-one attention they deserve in the comfort of their own space. I treat your home with the same respect I'd want for mine. I'll handle small tasks like watering plants or bringing in mail, and I always leave everything exactly as I found it. You'll get regular photo updates so you can see your pet is happy and relaxed at home. With experience caring for my two senior dogs who need daily medications and close monitoring, I know how to spot when something's off with a pet's behavior or health. If any concerns come up, I'll contact you right away. Your pet gets the same attentive, loving care I give my own-because home is where they're most comfortable.
“Elisa was awesome! She took great care of my cat. Gave me an update on all I could want to know from food intake to the litter box status. She sent the most gorgeous pictures of him while she played with him and getting his stuff together. If she was going to be later than normal on her check in, she gave me a heads up so I wasn’t worried. I will definitely be going to her again for any cat watching needs I have.”
“Mackenzie was great! We had a meet and greet ahead of the visit and went over our dogs personalities and routines. Today was a visit to see how the dogs responded to Mackenzie when we weren't around, and fortunately that went well. Mackenzie kept us in the loop from the time she headed to our home until the visit was complete, and sent a bunch of really cute pictures of our pups. Scooby is a bit of a nervous dog so we weren't certain how he'd do, but he reportedly responded well. We would definitely have Mackenzie care for our pups again!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds of dogs since I was 15. Neighbors and family friends have reached out to me numerous times for their pet sitting needs. I love meeting new dogs and would be open to walking dogs or playing with them. I am a teacher, and currently on Summer break. I will be teaching Summer School, but I can fit in visits around that. I have lots of availability to come hang with your pups. Considering I'm at an apartment, I would rather watch your dog at your place, so your pet can be in a space they are already comfortable with.

Ashley S.
“Ashley is the most trustworthy and reliable sitter in this area. It’s hard for me to leave my pets, but Ashley makes it entirely easier to do. Ashley goes the extra mile, quite literally, to make sure my dogs are cared for when I’m away. From taking the dogs on longer walks than they would normally get, to throwing them the ball until they are worn out, she does it all. My dogs get anxious when they see me pull out a suitcase because they know that means I’m leaving, but then when they see Ashley they are through the roof excited.”

Tiffany K.
“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Tiffany Tlach for many years, and I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most caring and responsible people I’ve ever met—especially when it comes to animals. She has a lifelong bond with pets, having grown up with dogs and cats, and it’s clear that caring for them comes naturally to her. Whether it’s her own pets or someone else’s, she goes above and beyond to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and loved. She’s incredibly patient, attentive, and genuinely in tune with the needs of animals. I’ve seen her handle everything from playful puppies to aging senior pets with the same calm, compassionate presence. Her reliability, kindness, and deep understanding of animal behavior make her someone I would trust with any pet, any day. If you’re lucky enough to have her looking after your furry friend, you can rest easy knowing they’re in the best possible hands. Warmly, Cathy T”

Hartwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
We just got back from a trip and had Amber take care of our dogs , as always Amber is incredibly sweet and genuinely cares for our pets as if they were her own. She is so thoughtful and gave us regular updates and adorable pictures of our dogs, which really put our minds at ease. It is so good to see them so happy and well-cared for. Amber goes above and beyond to ensure that they are comfortable and loved, and her attention to detail is truly commendable. Knowing that our dogs were in such capable and kind hands made our trip so much more enjoyable. We cannot thank Amber enough for her incredible service, and we look forward to having her care for our dogs again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and dedicated pet sitter!
