Amanda was great with our kitties while we were away on vacation! She sent lots of updates with photos/videos and was very respectful of our space. Amanda went above and beyond during meal times as our kitties need to be separated and can be picky eaters. I would highly recommend Amanda for any of your pet care needs!

We had Kelly come dog sit in January for a week. She was amazing! Very comforting for us that my dog, Sophie, would be cared for in my home. Sophie is normally an anxious dog. While Kelly was with her, Sophie was completely fine. I really enjoyed the photos of Sophie that Kelly sent me during her stay. Kelly stayed overnight for Sophie, she was very respectful of my home and left it the way she found it. I would highly recommend Kelly for your pet needs!!!!

Trisha graciously watched my 2 older dogs at the last minute in my home. She was an amazing houseguest, and was incredible with my visually impaired dog who requires various daily medications. My other grumpy dog took to Trisha immediately, which is remarkable as he can be stingy with his affection. Thank you Trisha and we all look forward to seeing you again soon.❤️

Melanie and Anthony are absolute gems as pet sitters and house guests. They are so kind and caring- both towards animals and towards us humans - taking great care of all of us during their stay. They sent lovely photos of our pets being adored and living their best lives in our absence and they took great care to be respectful about my needs as a person with Celiac disease, even leaving extra GF staples for me and cleaning the house! They are truly great humans and we feel so lucky to have found them. Booking them again ASAP!!

About: I’ve been animal lover for as long as I can remember. From reptiles to puppies to birds I treat every animal with love and respect. Due to never having an ideal living situation to be caring pets, I’ve never had a pet of my own. However, I’ve always been surrounded by my friends, families, coworkers and neighbors pets. I have watched cared for their pets at my home, their home and even just out and about many times over the years. This has given me experience with a countless amount of pets of all kind and I fall in love with each and every one! I’d love to spread that love a little further to all who will allow me to share :) I work a part-time job at the moment and I’m looking to fill my extra time with something I love. I’ll have more than enough time to devote my utmost attention to your loved one! I’m also athletic myself so even the high energy fur balls get the best of me! I am very big on boundaries and structure. I will make sure to follow any guidelines that you already have in place for your pet.

Staci is a phenomenal dog sitter! She stayed at our place for a whole week and watched two of our pups, one of whom is really quite a challenge. He has health issues and an attitude and Staci was able to accommodate his needs. Thanks to her we were able to take our first vacation together in three years!!!

There are not enough stars to fully convey our feelings of how we felt leaving our Newfoundland, Shih Tzu, chickens and fish with people we had only just met. Emma and Trent were exactly how they described themselves in their Rover Profile. Reagan immediately found Trent’s lap and Peaches was xheckinf out Emma for treats.❤️ Peaches and Reagan were treated exactly how we wanted them to be treated. Even though we couldn’t include the fact we had chickens (and fish) in our Rover profile, Emma and Trent were very receptive to including them in their daily care routines. We communicated on a regular basis using our Group Chat and Emma & Trent were kind enough to send some great pix of the “girls”. I’m sure their time with the girls and staying at our home will be as memorable for them as it was for us. Two days into our trip/their stay, they were hit with a blizzard that dropped 24” of snow. Although our home is beautiful when it snows, they were snowed in. It took 2 days before we could get them shoveled out. They had to clear a pathway for the dogs to go out along with a few other areas. And as if that wasn’t enough, one of the biggest trees in our yard fell onto the chicken coops outdoor area and destroyed it along with the chain link fence. They said they heard a tremendous sound and then they saw it. It was unbelievable. We were able to get my son to check it out to ensure it was secured from predators and that none of the chickens were hurt. Thank goodness was everyone was fine. We highly recommend Emma and Trent to care for your pets and your home and will definitely use their services again. Thank you both!

Kimberly was great! We've never used a pet-sitter before so were a little nervous, but Kimberly came over to meet us and our dog before we left and put our minds at ease. Our pup took to her right away when she visited and we appreciated the thoughtful questions she asked. She was a great communicator before and during her stay with our pup and sent so many great photos. Just got home from our trip and the house is spotless. Definitely recommend!

About: I’m a reliable and caring dog lover who genuinely loves spending time with dogs of all kinds. My neighbors and family members have often relied on me taking care of their dogs while they’re away which gave me experience in being attentive and patients to different dogs needs. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, some exercise, or just a little extra attention during the day, I’m here to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I am currently working part-time so I am super flexible to work with you and your dogs schedule and routine. Whenever you need me I can try to accommodate you! In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized while giving their pet plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure pets get enough outdoor time, stay hydrated, and feel relaxed while their owner is away.

I Choose different routes and places to walk, such as a local park, beach, or hiking trail. Most dogs love playing fetch. I can take your dog or dogs with your permission to a fenced dog's park and play a game of fetch with a ball or frisbee. Dogs love to play with toys, such as squeaky toys or tug ropes.

Melissa is simply amazing. We have re-booked her over 10 times for home visits and home sitting our pet, Scott. We all were going on an international trip of ~10 days and we were worried since this was the first time we using someone’s services to stay at home and take care of Scott. Punctuality is Melissa’s virtue and Scott was absolutely comfortable with her. All those 10 days, we were very peaceful and Melissa ensured, with pictures and videos of Scott, that we were always in touch! A very big shout out to Melissa for a fantastic service!

This was our first time booking with Amanda and our first time using Rover in a long while. Amanda was amazing with our two very anxious little Chihuahua-mixed pups! She was a terrific communicator from the moment we reached out to her to set up the “meet and greet” till the end of her weekend stay while we were away! Amanda not only took incredible care of our two pups, sent us beautiful pictures of our dogs throughout the weekend, but also took great care of our home! We will absolutely have no hesitation to reach out to Amanda again when the need arises!!

Kelly did an amazing job taking care of my 10-year-old Frenchie, Little Dragon (Cookie). She was very communicative throughout the visit and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Cookie has a specific routine and some care needs, and Kelly handled everything with attention and care. I could tell Cookie was comfortable and in good hands the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and the level of responsibility she showed. I would absolutely book with Kelly again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.
