“Victoria was great! She did exactly as she said concerning my cat and took very good care of her. I was well informed on a daily basis with photos. I was very apprehensive, it was the first time I left my cat, but she made my vacation that much better knowing my Lois was in good hands! Highly recommend her services”
“Liz was wonderful with our boy Cassius. She gave great updates and allowed for my first time rover experience to go smoothly and put my mind at ease. She was great with him and we came home to a happy pup.”
“Allison is amazing! So communicative and helpful. She sends tons of photos. We also think she may be the best cat whisperer - we love our big orange cat but let's just say he's not the most friendly kitty - she was able to feed him and sneak in a pet or two on the first round of visits. Couldn't be happier with her care and attention!”
“Beth was amazing. She was always timely with the girls and sent pictures and kept us up to date with everything while we were out of the country. I couldn’t recommend her more and will definitely think of her first for our pet sitting needs! Thank you for everything Beth!”
“Very attentive to my fur babies. She had them literally eating from her hands. Erin exhibits so much love for animals and attention to detail for her work. I'm delighted I found her on Rover. Having Erin watch my fur family gave me peace of mind and put my mind at ease while I had to be away. Thank you”
“Tiffany is a wonderful pet sitter and a lovely person. She truly loves animals and it shows, my cats are very comfortable with her. She does a fantastic job of taking care of them when I am out of town. I do not worry about my animals when I know she is taking care of them. I trust her completely.”
“Excellent. Can't say enough about how great care my fur babies were given. I was sent photos everyday of each of the cats, plus being told what they were up to. I don't trust many people with my pets, but I will use Tara again. You won't go wrong with her care.”
“Zoe is amazing with our animals. Our dog Ellie really seems to like her and likes to hang out with her. They even picked her up from a weekend kennel stay so we could arrive home to our pup ❤️. Over a long weekend, she stopped in to check on our smaller fury friend, Mason. He loved having her visit for pets and treats! Highly recommend Jolynn & Zoe.”
About: Like many people, I grew up with animals. However, I’m very lucky to say that my dad was a dog trainer. At the age of zero I was his little helper. As I grew older I helped him feed, walk, wash, and train dogs. We even raised some puppies! I’d like to think that his expertise rubbed off on me, but I invite you to see for yourself! I typically work my main job (outside of Rover) from 8am-4pm, but I’m willing to walk dogs or make home visits before work. If I’m walking or visiting before work, I’d like to be done by 7am. After work, I can typically be available by 5pm. I’m also willing to care for your pet on most weekends! I do not own dogs of my own right now as I am in an apartment, but growing up with my dad being a dog trainer I was exposed to several different dogs everyday. I saw sweet dogs, aggressive dogs, stubborn dogs, you name it. I understand that, just like us, dogs and cats like and deserve respect. Each pet has their own boundaries that should be respected, and I will do my best to make sure that your pet feels respected and trusted by me.
About: I’ve been dog and cat watching since I was 17 years old and I’m 23 now. I’m also experienced in senior pet care and comfortable with all sorts of pets! I grew up on a small farm, and I really enjoyed taking care of friends pets growing up. It was hard when I moved to be away from them, but I quickly gained more clients who trusted me with their fur babies, and that’s what I’m hoping to do here as well :) I’m currently full time however I’m always available at least two days of the week, if not more depending on the time I have before or after work. I believe in fear free practices, so in the clients home I am comfortable crating if necessary, and just hanging out to let your fur baby become comfortable with me in their space.
About: While working in a professional environment at Jill's Pet Resort, I was entrusted with the care of a variety of pets. All sizes, breeds and personalities. I developed personal relationships with frequent visitors and treated them all as if they were my own. Within the environment I worked, I was exposed to all facets of pet care to include first aid, cleaning and providing food. This is my dedicated activity and is priority. I work solely to provide care for the pets of owners. I have no conflicts that would interfere with this goal. I live with 2 dogs, 3 birds and care for 6 tanks of fish. I have cared for my own dogs by taking them to parks for exercise or watching over them while in my fenced in back yard. I have cleaned up after accidents and also picked up after them in the yard to make sure the environment they live in is as clean as possible. I feed all my pets on a schedule to include the fish. Understanding the importance of schedules is not foreign to me. I have walked my pets while leashed and have taken them out of the home for socialization.
“Briana actually took care of our cats this time. Charlie Murphy, Mikka and Simba were well cared for. Briana sent a picture of Mikka the one day when she came to take care of them. They still had food when we got home and their litter boxes had been taken care of. I would highly recommend Briana for your furry kids!”
“We were very happy with Carinna. The photos she sent, especially with Maya shows her very relaxed with Carrina. That is a feat in itself. Thank you so much. We will call again!”

Kyle S.
“I've used Kyle on a number of occasions while I was out of town. I always felt confident that my pets were being cared for in the same manner I would. My fish were fed and the dogs were taken out, fed and kept with water. We had a couple of incidents when I was not in country and my pet needed Medical Care. Kyle took my dog to the vet to insure they were cared for.”
