“Courtney is Fantastic! I use her a lot when I am going on short weekend trips or going to be gone for long periods of time. I can always count on her to take great care of our dog.”


“Sarah was amazing! I was traveling out of town on business and Sarah agreed to come walk my Chiweenie. They were kind, and Chiweenie was very chatty with Sarah. I’m sure they’re friends forever now.”


“Joanna had been so nice and loving to our kitties when we were away. She paid attention to every detail and took great care. She spent good time playing with my cats, petting them and giving them lots of love and attention. I was able to put my mind at peace, trusting Joanna with my fur babies. Totally recommend her. ❤️”


“Allison is top notch! I am not easily trusting with my girls and she blew it out of the park. She has great communication during her visit(s) and sends plenty of photos, alongside notes.”



“Rachael was great with our dog Ruthie while we were away. We had a friend staying with her for the week but Rachael helped out with mid day breaks while he was at work. She sent pics every day which made us feel so much better. Would definitely recommend Rachael for your pet sitting needs!”


“Keely was great and did amazing with Ruby. This was just a drop in for her to get to know her for future jobs. Keely was very thorough in asking what her needs are and making sure she was prepared. Looking forward to having her watch Ruby in the future.”


“Alan was excellent with my cat's and provided great communication! Rory is usually very shy and won't come out for anybody but he was able to coax him out and give him some pets! 🥰”


“Taylor was seriously the best cat sitter ever. We have three cats, including one super shy one and another who needs meds, so I was a little nervous going in. But Taylor handled it all like a pro. Our usual scaredy cat loved her and didn’t hide once. Meanwhile, the one who needs meds turned into the shy, grumpy one and hid under the couch the whole time. Taylor literally laid on the hard floor just to spend time near her and still figured out a way to get her meds in without stressing her out. That alone deserves a medal. She was super kind, respectful, and clearly cared about making our cats feel safe and comfortable. She went above and beyond every single day. I’m so glad we went with her and we’ll 100% be booking her again if we ever need a sitter. Seriously cannot recommend her enough.”


“Sharon goes above and beyond for our pups. She takes extra care to make sure they get everything they need to stay content and healthy while we’re away. She is a blessing to our family.”


“Mariah was very responsible with our home, respectful in her interactions with me and my family, and very kind in her care of our 2 cats. She was in daily contact with us and sent us pictures of how they were doing. I would highly recommend her!”



“Jacob did a great job with our cats and dog while we were away during the holidays. There's a lot of them and they all need something different. We really appreciated the time/effort he put into cleaning the litter boxes, which is usually an issue for us!”


“Sam is very reliable and great at communicating during her visits. I absolutely will continue to book her. She also left a sweet note and treats for the pups!”


About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages and stages. I have delivered puppies and taken care of them through their first 8 weeks of life. I have cared for older dogs giving them medication in various ways. I am a typical home body so overnight stays will ensure that your pet is seen, cuddled and cared for extended periods of time throughout the week. Daily I am home by 5:00. In my home pets are apart of the family. My only boundary is that pets are not allowed on the furniture, me and my kids have allergies and need the sheets to be clean!

About: Hi there, I'm Robin! I love animals, and recently lost my dog to old age. I'm not quite ready to find myself another furbaby, but I have so much love to give, that I thought I'd fill the void with pet sitting. I still have an older cat at home, which is why at this time, I'm not boarding in my home. I've owned several cats and dogs over the past 30 some odd years. During that time, I've dealt with their health issues like kidney disease and diabetes. Because of the care I've given my own pets, I am well versed in giving oral medications, eye drops, special diets, and injections (both subcutaneous and muscular). I'm lucky enough to have a pretty open schedule, only working one or two days a week, so I will be available most of the time to keep your pets company, take them for walks, and give them their meals on their schedule, not mine. I can also do drop ins pretty freely, if that's what you prefer. I am retired, although I took a job that gets me out of the house and talking to people one or two days a week, because I needed the interactions. I'll be able to spend most, if not all, days and nights caring for your pets. I know how important our fur babies are! I will care for and love on yours just as if they were mine. I'll follow your guidelines and schedules, so your pets will be as comfortable as they can be until your return.

About: I’ve had over 20 pets growing up, from dogs, hamsters, ferrets, you name it. I have lots of experience working with animals, including lots of training caring for animals and building fast-strong bonds. Im an educator with early mornings that allow me ample time in the early afternoons and evenings to care for you pet. My schedule is pretty flexible and able to fit around your pet sitting needs when giving proper notice. I can also be available for quick dog walks and check ins everyday of the week. I have my own dog, Onyx who is able to roam free unless I leave the house and will offer the same freedom to your dog. We live in a great neighborhood with other friendly pet owners and provide a great route for nice long walks to enjoy the weather. I can also crate or fence in your pet if needed as well.

“We are so happy to have Kelly! She is more than we could have asked for. She is friendly, professional, dependable, kind, and caring. She has gone above and beyond for us and Henry loves her. We definitely recommend her!”

Robin A.
“My dog is my fur baby and I really hate having to leave her. My dog is also a one person dog so it's really hard to find someone that my dog likes. Robin is that person. Robin gave me updates multiple times throughout the day as well as pictures. She asked plenty of questions beforehand and by the second day my dog was completely happy and cuddling with Robin. I will definitely use Robin anytime I have to travel. She treated my dog like she was her own. Can't say enough good things about my experience.”


Mashayla H.
“Mashayla is the ultimate dog mom—her pup is her pride and joy, and she treats all dogs with the same love and care. She’s playful, responsible, and totally in tune with what dogs need to feel happy and safe. If you want your dog to be treated like family (and probably spoiled a little), Mashayla’s your girl!”

Hikes Point pet parents share their Rover experiences
Heather has been our go to for watching our elderly dog. This past week was our first time having her do drop in visits for our cats and received the same great service from her! She leaves great notes on her visits with pictures and left everything clean and orderly.

We are very pleased with the care our pet received. Lindsey wrote thorough notes with pictures on every visit. Lindsey even went above and beyond and offered to get ant traps when we had unexpected pets visit our home. The whole Rover process is very easy and streamlined as well. We really appreciate you Lindsey.

Sarah is outstanding! She is great with cats and very reliable and communicative. Tiger is a bit shy and skittish but was open to Sarah and was happy in his pictures that she sent. Can’t say enough about this amazing sitter that really shines when caring for animals!
