“She is an absolute life safer. Randy absolutely adores her. Everytime she stops by she sends me a picture of a happy dog. Always smiling and happy. Abigail plays with him and gives him loving. Would definitely recommend”
“Highly recommend Stacey to look after your furry friends! She took the best care of my cat with medical needs, gave plenty of updates with photos and always had time for chin scritches. Stacey also left my place clean and tidy, it was a great experience all around.”
“Talia is very responsive and took great care of my border collie and pit bull. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter! Definitely will request her services again!”
“This was my first time booking Rover, and Alexis made it so so easy. I wasn’t capable of being in contact 24/7, since I was out of town for a family matter. She easily understood my instructions, and I never ONCE had any doubt or fear for Yoshi’s (my kitty) safety. I was able to enjoy my time away, while also knowing she was well taken care of :)”

About: Hi! My name is Andrea, Ive been around animals since as long as I can remember! I want to help ease pet parents minds when they have to leave their fur babies in someone else’s care! I bring years of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats in a variety of different household settings, I love making sure they all feel safe, comfortable and are treated like family. You can definitely look forward to tons of pictures of them while they’re in my care! I’m a stay at home mom so I have a lot of free time! Which makes pet care fit perfectly into my daily and weekly routine. Im also willing to stay at your home if that is more convenient for you! I always make sure that your pets environment is clean and that dogs are taken out in a manner that’s best for them and as long as they’d like! I make sure that litter boxes are clean and bellies are fed and happy!
About: I have taken care of different kinds of pets since I was a little girl. I have had to give medicine to them. I have also taken care of young, old, and high anxiety furry friends. They deserve love and care while you’re away. I work during the week 8am-5pm Monday- Friday (sometimes I get off early on Fridays). I also work right around the corner from where I live and get a hour lunch. I can easily let them out to go potty and play with them especially after I get home. I am off on the weekends so I can definitely be with them all day then. I have a fenced in yard. I have 1 dog and 2 cats to keep your fur baby company! I also have a nice comfy crate as well as a baby gate if needed.
“Allana was great. She was always on time and was great with my dog. My dog is very shy and doesn’t get comfortable with everyone but warmed up to Allana really fast. She communicated and sent me pictures and updates after every visit. I would highly recommend her.”
“Kacie was Fantastic! Our puppies fell in love with her. Kacie kept a prompt schedule just as we asked and always sent pictures for us to see our kiddos. Gladly hire again! Fred and Angela Weiser, Skipper, and Sherman”
About: Owner of a tripod! Have had a working pack of dogs I train ages 12 wk to well now ! Doggy PT! Have handled aggressive dogs, but do not invite aggressive dogs into my home. Physical therapy with your dog! Does your neck get stiff?? Theirs too! Vet checked tools and unique perspectives! I am open to scheduling throughout the day if there is demand for it. If I am able to help care for your pet, I will. I am the same way with all animals, I give them their space and allow them to come to me. I train with kindness and motivation! If I'm walking your dog, I'm gonna work with your dog!
“Our dog, Scott, is partially paralyzed and requires quite a bit more work than a typical dog during a drop in, and Michaela not only rose to that challenge but easily overcame it. Between cleaning up Scott's inevitable messes in the house to fixing his meals just right to giving him his dental chews and probiotic, she was more than we could have hoped for in a drop-in sitter for Scott while we're out of town. She will definitely be the first Rover we reach out to next time we need care for Scott ?”
“Issac was very kind and did a great job with my animals. My dogs and cats were well taken care of and happy while I was gone. Issac communicated well and kept me informed the entire time.”
“Alissa and Mario took amazing care of my shy kitty. They took the time to get to know her, kept her litter, food, and water clean and refilled and they are respectful and communicative! Definitely recommend”
