“Kade is smart and dependable. Her visits with our Zoe were always perfectly timed, and her reports were thorough and consistent. Seldom have I felt more confident leaving our beloved dog with a sitter.”



“Haven provides great care to my two kitties. She replies quickly to messages, follows instructions to the letter, and leaves my house looking just as I left it. And my kids took to her immediately. I highly recommend her if you're looking for thorough/loving pet care you can trust.”


“Thanks so much! Kirby was on time and so great with the puppy! Such a relief knowing that our puppy is getting such great attention from someone we can trust!”


“Kyla did a great job looking after my cats. It was easy to set things up, she arrived as scheduled, communicated well throughout, and my cats liked her too.”


“Rachel was great! She was flexible and responsive when I need to make some last minute changes and my boys seems to love her! She is definitely a jewel!”


“Liz was incredible with our older dog. She was always there on time, even early during his morning visits. She brought treats and sent so many adorable photos of how well he was doing while we were away. I would absolutely use Liz again in the future. What a gem!”


“Elijah was amazing!!! He took such great care of my cats while I was out of town! He sent me the best pics and I know my cats were well taken care of! He also always cleaned up and made my apartment look better than I left it! I will definitely be getting Elijah again! Thank you!!”


“This was our first time having Jeffrey do drop ins for our three wild kids and he was AMAZING! Great communication, super professional, loved on our doggos just like we would!”

“I’m so glad I chose to book with Devinder! I’ve been blown away by his responsiveness, flexibility, communication, and clear love for pets :) He’s very professional, but also comes across like a friend who’s always down to help you out and care for your pets like they’re his own. I trust him with my pets for the long haul!”


“Kristen is a gem of a person and so attentive to our dog, Skye. She sends lots of updates and pictures and is also very funny. She is great to work with and I totally trust her with our furbaby.”


“Catherine's check-ins were wonderful. She was extra communicative and shared lots of pictures. She made me feel comfortable and know that King was well taken care of.”


“Danielle was wonderful. We got so many pictures and great updates of our doggos while we were away. She treated them just like her own fur family.”


About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds and of varying ages. I’ve also helped train my own puppy, as well as friends’ dogs, the basics like potty training, sit, etc. I’m quite comfortable with puppies under 1 year old all the way to our senior friends. I’m currently a full-time dog mom and pet caretaker. I just graduated from grad school and don’t start my new job until this fall, and I thought - what a better way to spend my summer off taking care of my favorite animal and helping other pet owners? I’m an open communicator and can be available how you need me with the proper heads-up! I live in an apartment building with my fiancé and our sweet, cuddly boy dog (neutered). There’s 3 parks within walking distance and a dog park just an 8min drive away. Since I live in an apartment, I would recommend only small to medium dogs stay with us, but I’m always willing to travel to clients’ houses for dogs of all sizes. I treat my clients dogs as if they were my own fur baby. The love, kindness, & attention I give my sweet boy is the same love, kindness, & attention your dog will receive. My friend is also a vet tech I can always reach out to for advice/questions and I myself am a certified (human) healthcare professional.

“Robbi did absolutely amazing! She’s so sweet & my cats absolutely loved her from the moment she stepped in the door lol. In fact when i came home from my trip they acted like they didn’t know me 😂!! She sent plenty of pictures, she communicated everything with me, and she followed the list of things i provided! I definitely would book her again 10/10 💕!”


“Kayley was very warm and friendly, and she spent extra time making sure our pets were comfortable with her. Thank you for going the extra mile and for helping us feel at ease to enjoy taking a vacation!”


“Very happy with Cindy's care of Mamie. She kept us informed along the way, and loved the photos she shared.”


“Kristina was a great communicator throughout the booking process and the drop in visit for my pup. She was on time for the meet and greet and the drop in visit. I received a thorough update and lots of pictures which is so nice when you’re counting on someone else to care for you pet. I would recommend her to anyone and look forward to booking her again!!”


“I am a first-time rover user and needed someone in a pinch! Jules was quick to respond and was super communicative. She scheduled a great meet and greet with me before my trip and made me feel at ease about a newcomer with my sometimes skittish doggie. My pup was well cared for and Jules was very accommodating. I could see in the pictures that she sent that my dog was very calm and happy when spending time with her! Will be sure to call Jules for any future pop-ins, trips, or other!”


“Madeline was awesome. We booked her last minute and she was able to stop in three times to feed him, hang out with him, take him out to the bathroom, and even took him on a couple walks. She took plenty of photos and videos and kept us updated. Will definitely use her again! ?”
