“Maddie is very responsive, reliable, and accommodating with last-minute requests. She’s great with Ollie and always leaves thoughtful notes and pictures after her visits. We really appreciate her help!”

“Danielle has taken care of our 2 cats and dog for two years every time we leave town. She’s always willing to go above and beyond and water your plants or grab your mail. She sends detailed updates daily/throughout the day, is always so attentive and lets us know if she notices anything abnormal with the animals at all. She’s extremely flexible and works her schedule (even holidays) around taking care of them. Our animals have all come to love her. We couldn’t recommend her more! We’re about to move and will miss having her to take care of our fur babies.”
“It Was our first time using rover to babysit are cat's. Meghan was great she kept us updated every day and sent photos. My wife was so happy that her babies where in good hands. Was nice to be able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were good. Thank you again Meghan will definitely be using you again. 🙂 We Highly recommend her don't hesitate to schedule with Meghan.”

“Kristen has been amazing! She is kind and patient, and has been very reliable. She has been great at taking care of my little Yorkie, taking her for walks and playing with her to burn off some energy! Highly recommend!”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing watching my dogs for three days! From the moment we connected, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved on the entire time. She followed all instructions perfectly and treated them like her own. When I returned, everything was clean, organized, and my pups were calm and content — which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your fur babies, but Lauren exceeded every expectation. I would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care. Thank you, Lauren! 🐾💛”

“Ashley was great! Our two cats needed multiple visits a day and Ashley knocked it out of the park. Our one cat is a bit skiddish, yet Ashley was patient and did everything she could to ensure the cats were well looked after. She communicated with us during her visits and went above and beyond.”


“Incredibly thoughtful and reliable. Went above and beyond bringing our mail into our home for us and showed up exactly when we asked her to. Our pets were so happy that they could stay in our home while we were gone.”


About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs ever since I was little. I would say I’m knowledgeable on dog training and have a lot of experience with all different types of dogs. I love to walk and pet pups so hopefully we can be good match!! I’m currently working part-time in the afternoon (3-6) so I have lots of free time to check in or walk your pet. I have owned Goldens my entire life so training a high-energy dog is something I’m experienced in. I’m all about creating a safe and enriching environment for dogs, so I’m open to adapting to your pets daily routine.
“Jessica is amazing! She has been doing weekly visits with our high energy lab puppy and has been a life saver. She is very trustworthy, always on time and our puppy loves her!”

About: I have raised 2 dogs since puppies until older age. I have experience with older dogs and puppies. Love them all. I have no pets at the moment so any pet I care for will receive lots of love. Love all pets I can provide care in the morning and afternoon. I am available for many services. I can walk pets, play with them, feed them, take them out, cuddle them, and give them love. I can also stay in your house or apartment with your pet. I give pets lots of love and attention. I can give pets lots of love, cuddle with them and give them treats, practice commands, or also just give them space and take them out for walks. I love dogs, I also like cats. Any pets are a joy
“Justice is fantastic and took great care of my dog! I really appreciated the updates and her attention to detail. It made the whole experience stress-free and I would highly recommend her!”

“After having to have an emergency scheduling Stephanie was absolutely fantastic, she was quick to reply, communicative, respectful and very kind. She gave us constant updates on our cat Freyja along with photos. We would happily use her services again.”

About: I have years of experience caring for animals of all species and breeds. Most recently, I spent the summer interning at an animal sanctuary, where I tended to the over 300 animals that required care. Many of those animals were sick or injured, so I have a particular capability and fondness for caring for senior animals or pets with special needs. I also have dog-walking experience, including dogs with vision-impairment and chronic illnesses. I have grown up with pets my entire life, so I have lots of experience caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and fish. I love long walks, and am more than happy to accommodate your furry friend's desired activity level. I am incredibly punctual, reliable, and enthusiastic; you can count on me to go above and beyond to provide the safety, comfort, mental and physical stimulation, and love that your pet deserves. Generally, my weekly availability is: From 6:00 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Before 8 a.m. and after 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday-Friday. Depending on what you ask me to do, I'm happy to take your pet on walks of your preferred length/level of intensity, drop by to provide food, water, games, cuddles, and company, and administer medication. I'm really happy to do whatever tasks are needed of me, just let me know!
“Adriana was amazing and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. This was our first time having someone watch Caius and she kept us notified and sent photos the entire time. He is definitely more of a reactive dog and gets pretty territorial of our home, but he felt so comfortable with Adriana. She also watched him over the holidays which was much appreciated. We will absolutely be having her watch him again in the future. Thank you so much! ❤️”

“This is our second time having Rebecca help us with our kitties while we’re gone. She does an amazing job with communication and lets us know promptly if anything around the house needs our attention when we get home. All of our cats are happy when we get home and it’s clear that she provided them with awesome care during her drop ins. We will absolutely go to her next time we need care!”

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Amelia! She took such great care of our senior dog, giving him so much love and attention. She’s responsive, reliable, and very respectful of our space. We felt completely comfortable knowing Prince was in her care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Brittany took great care of our two cats! One of our shy cats even warmed up to her nicely and we could tell felt comfortable. Brittany was very communicative, responsive, and provided thorough updates with each visit. She went above and beyond to ensure our cats were treated like family. We arrived home to a tidy well kept home, and are thankful we had Brittany caring for our cats while we were away! Highly recommend Brittany!

Brian did an excellent job as usual checking on our cat while we were away and making sure that everything was in order. He took the time to play and interact with her, give her treats, and change her food and water. We are super appreciative of you Brian!

Alexa was an exceptional sitter! She was attentive, communicative, and treated my kitty Mango like her own. I really appreciated her frequent updates, her responsiveness, and the genuine care she showed. It’s such a relief knowing I could count on her while I was away! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter! She’s the best!

Lauren was fantastic with our senior golden retriever with mobility issues and who required medication. She visited our home for a meet and greet and again for key drop off. She came to our home three times per day and meticulously cared for our family dog while we were gone for 12 days. Lauren was timely with communications and kept us updated on his care providing pictures and dialogue of his daily events. We would highly recommend Lauren for pet sitting with your pet of any abilities. We will definitely be using Lauren again as a dog sitter in the future!
