Beth helped me out when my sitter fell through and I was already out of town. She was able to jump in with barely any notice AND I cannot express how thankful I was for her flexibility to help me out on a holiday. My two dogs looked so happy in all of the picture updates she sent. I would definitely book again :)

This is our first time using Rover. We wanted someone who was mature and responsible and Jeanne was a great fit. She was prompt and caring from the start. She sent messages and pictures every time and followed the details of our instructions. She was also thoughtful and thorough in how she cared for our kitty. We especially appreciate Jeanne giving time and space for our kitty to warm up to her and make sure she was comfortable with interaction. We recommend Jeane!

About: i’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid and have had lots of dogs that I absolutely adore. I love just being around animals and will always do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable I am currently a college student and I want a job where I have more flexibility. I have a lot of free time and to me would rather spend it with animals over other things. I am very good with lots of different dogs and am very attentive so in your home I will make sure to be respectful of their space and treat them with the upmost care.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience working in animal shelters, dog daycare centers, and boarding facilities. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and needs. After recently losing my beloved dogs, I realized I wasn't quite ready for another long-term commitment, but I deeply missed having dogs around. Rover has given me the perfect opportunity to open my home and heart to dogs while helping other pet parents feel confident their pets are in good hands. I'm a stay-at-home mom, which means your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We have a large fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I also have two cats who grew up with dogs and are comfortable sharing their space, as well as two young children who have been around dogs their entire lives and know how to interact respectfully with them. For the comfort and safety of every pet in my care, I only accept dogs from one household at a time. This allows me to provide individualized attention and create a calm, stress-free environment during their stay. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. My mornings typically begin with feeding pets, potty breaks, walks, or playtime before my family's daily activities start. Because I am home most of the day, pets receive frequent attention, supervision, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. Throughout the day, I can accommodate additional potty breaks, outdoor time in our fenced yard, feeding schedules, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection and enrichment. In the evenings, pets are included in our family's relaxed routine, with more playtime, walks, and cuddles before bedtime. For boarding and daycare, dogs are rarely left unattended, and I only accept pets from one household at a time to ensure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I care for every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality. I understand that being away from their family can be stressful, so I strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. For dogs, I provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. Dogs have access to our large fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and because I am home throughout the day, they receive consistent attention and companionship. I only care for dogs from one household at a time, which allows me to focus on their individual needs and maintain a low-stress environment. For cats, I ensure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and attention at their comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, cuddles, or simply having a quiet and reliable caretaker, I respect their personality and routine. I am also comfortable following special instructions, administering medications when needed, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Felecia was so awesome! Resun and Roxy absolutely love her I can tell and are very comfortable with her. They even let her bathe them lol. We appreciate her patience during the 2 meet and greets as well for she did not have to do that. She took great care of our home EVEN washed their dog bowls out🫂☺️ We are grateful to know her and be able to travel freely now without worry. Thank you Felecia! See you again soon

Highly recommend! At the meet and greet she was so easy to talk to and our dog Luna loved her! While we were away I didnt worry if callie and luna were taken care of, she sent pictures of them getting all the love and attention. I think our house was cleaner than when we left too, 10/10 will be using every time we go out of town!

Meagan is amazing! She really makes sure you can leave your pets feeling like she will handle it. Plus I got home from a friday night shift & she had tidied up my living room area where we all hangout. She truly is the best & she cares for your animals as if they’re her own. I would leave more than 5 stars if I could! Such a great experience every time with her.

Rodney was OUTSTANDING! He went above and beyond to make sure our fur kids were taken care of, as if they were his own. We got daily photos and updates, and he was always there when he said he would be. Reliability and dependability are HUGE when you let someone in your home to take care of your fur babies and Rodney was reliable, dependable and then some!!!

Kathleen was amazing with our babies. We had some unexpected medical issues come up with a few of our cats and Kathleen was happy to accommodate with those needs and give our kitties their meds. She was great on communication and photos/updates which made me feel reassured that they were safe and happy! Would absolutely book with her again and would recommend others do so as well!

I have in the past had Katelyn care for my cat and dog for weekend trips. I recently had a week-long work training session out of the area. Without hesitation, I booked her to watch over my crew. If you want a pet sitter who you know will take care of your pets, I highly recommend her! She is dependable, and I received regular updates; she was also on time with her visits. But also I knew she treated my crew with the same love and attention as if they were her pets. I knew that when I was away, my crew was in good hands - the best. Highly recommend her if you need a pet sitter.

Rodney has been amazing!! I had to go out of town unexpectedly for an extended period of time and after our first meeting, I knew I’d found someone who would take care of my babies while I was away and I wouldn’t have to worry. He was so communicative and easy to work with and my 3 fluffy kitties were well looked after! As a huge bonus he also helped keep my place clean while I was gone so I didn’t come home to a thick layer of cat hair everywhere (long haired cats are fine aren’t they?). Thank you so much Rodney, you’re the best!!!
