“Awesome sitter, Nala is usually cranky when I get back but this time she was chill and happy. Melanie sent a whole bunch of adorable pictures each day for us, and even went out of her way to take a package in for us. Thank you so much!”

“Erin has been coming to our house to let our puppy out during the day to play. Our dog absolutely loves her! She is very accommodating to our needs and manages our crazy energetic puppy well!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Angela! She took amazing care of our dog, Liza, while we were away. From the very beginning, communication was clear and prompt, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in good hands. As a bonus, Angela sent us multiple pictures during her time with Liza!”

“Shanna was fantastic! She helped us out at the last minute when we found out he couldn’t go to the kennel due to a health issue. She came that same day to meet us and the next day she went to work. You can tell she really loves dog and our dog absolutely loved her!”

“Am I a great arrived at the check-in nice and early like I requested. When she had trouble with the door getting in she called me and I helped her get in. That was fine. Seems like the dogs really enjoyed her from the pictures that she sent I will be considering her in the future for other dog help.”

“Maddy was very easy to communicate with! She was able to come let my dogs out on a last minute basis and was very understanding when I forgot to leave the door open for her 🤣 thanks again Maddy!”

“We have been so fortunate to find two exceptional fur baby helpers, Angelica is one of them, this is someone that you want in your home with your baby protecting them and taking such good care of them. She truly goes above and beyond, and I will keep her as my sitter for as long as she will come, let my dog out💕💕”

“Jeanne was amazing! Our dogs absolutely loved her. She attended their needs so well and they were very happy. She sent lots of pictures and our pups were smiling in all of them. We 100% recommend her for your pets needs!”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals since I was a child for friends, neighbors, and family. I also have 10+ years of experience working in an animal hospital and I am comfortable with administering medical treatment when needed. I am relatively new to the area with an open schedule during the day that allows me to spend plenty of time getting to know your companion animals. Safety is a priority for me so I make sure to follow your specifications pertaining to your animal. No two animals are alike and I will ensure that I follow your guidelines on what is right for you and your pet.
“Nora is super responsive and respectful. She instantly connected with my dog when they met for the first time. And she is very detailed in her notes. She was even kind enough to bring my garbage bin back in on a particularly windy day.”

“Our dogs took to Amme right away, and so did we! She is easy-going, but also mature and reliable. She has been easy to reach and communicates before and after the visit. I recommend her!”

“Sara has been a blessing for my cat and I. My cat used to be very anxious when I come home due my work hours; however, since having Sara's drop-ins she is very calm, sweet and playful when I come home-!!. Sara is very sweet and has a calm demeanor. She follows the given instructions , responds to messages on time, send you awesome pictures and videos and you can tell she tries to take care of your pet like one of her own. I would highly recommend her!!”

About: I have grown up with pets, dogs specifically my entire life! I love dogs of all ages, all shapes and sizes! Having an animal companion to spend time with is some of the best company you can ever have! In my family I have helped raise/train puppies, we have also fostered in my household, and I have taken care of animals for friends and family. I am a very active person, I teach phy ed, so I love getting out for walks or runs. I am a teacher, so during the summer my hours are pretty flexible. I do have to teach summer school in the mornings for a short period of time, but then I am available for mid morning or lunch time pet breaks! Making sure all animals are safe and well taken care of is very important to me. Following instructions on how a dog best responds is very critical. Dogs are animals of habit when trained, so I want to continue to follow routines and expectations that their owner has. In my full time job I am trusted with children and I understand that for many people, pets are loved just as much as a child.
“Carly is great! She did drop in visits with my two cats while I was out of town for 4 days. She sent me a lot of pictures and videos during her visits. The kitties were so happy when I returned home and I felt great about letting them stay in their own home!”
Howard pet parents share their Rover experiences
Shanna was so great to work with. She came to meet our pets and go over all instructions prior to her scheduled visits. This was the first time leaving our diabetic cat. I was comfortable doing so because I knew Shanna would handle giving the injections and provide all the attention that he needed. I would highly recommend Shanna.

Faith is a true blessing to our home & family. Our girls LOVE her and we are so happy to have found someone who is attentive and caring while we are gone. Our home was spotless upon returning and our girls healthy & happy. Thank you so much Fawn. We can’t wait to have you over again…Sami & Cabo can’t wait to see you again too! 🐶🐶
