“This is the first time using Rover. Isabella was great with Hudson. We loved getting all the reports and pictures. Isabella took time to visit Hudson before we went out of town which meant a lot to us. Thank you so much Isabella for taking care of Hudson. We will definitely be seeing you again. Debbie and Mike Cook”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our quirky dogs received! Catherine did a fantastic job and was incredibly patient with both of them, taking the time to understand their individual needs. She kept us updated throughout, so we always knew our pets were in good hands. We highly recommend Catherine!”


“So glad I found Monique! She’s great with my dogs, able to walk both of them (they’re huge) and they come back tired and happy every time. She always gives me great updates on how they did on the walk, she’s on time, reliable and flexible when I needed to make some last minute changes on our schedule.”


“Rachel is so kind and thoughtful with my River. He is usually a little standoffish with new people (even me sometimes!), but he took to Rachel almost immediately. She takes great walks with him, and great pictures of my little guy when the go on their adventures. I highly recommend Rachel as a dog walker/sitter/anything.”


“Krista B is wonderful with my shy cat. She is very patient and accommadating with both my cat and me! I now feel that I can go away for a few days or a week and my cat knows that this kind lady will be stopping by to take care of her and give her some love!”


“Kirby has been great helping me with daily let outs while I’m at work this week. She even went out of her way to schedule a meet and greet since my dog can be a little anxious. Highly recommend her!”


“I’m so glad I chose to book with Devinder! I’ve been blown away by his responsiveness, flexibility, communication, and clear love for pets :) He’s very professional, but also comes across like a friend who’s always down to help you out and care for your pets like they’re his own. I trust him with my pets for the long haul!”


About: I may not have a lot of pet experience but when I love something, I do it 110% I work full time in mental health /substance use and as you can imagine, my day to day is extremely stressful and I talk to rude people with a smile on my face. But around animals, it’s a real smile. They love us so unconditionally and do so much for us, how can you not give your pet the world and them some after that? All I want to do is make sure every animal feels love, safe and happy. I work 4, 10 hour days a week and 3 days off. I can easily squeeze in multiple drop ins, walks, and house sitting on my days off which are Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays. Even a small overnight could be possible. I also work from home often. Sundays are my guaranteed work from home day so I can find drop in or walk times. As well as house sitting on Sundays! Saturdays, I’m off earlier, clock out by 6:30, so I can definitely squeeze in a night drop in or 2. Monday’s and Tuesdays are my “in office all day” days so I wouldn’t be able to do anything those 2 days, but every other day, I can work something out no problem! I try my best to not break their routine. I have a pretty good understanding of animal body language and I can tell when they are stressed or overwhelmed. Me being a stranger to them, can already have them slightly stressed. So the best thing I can do for them is to continue doing what they already know.

“Laura is consistent, trustworthy, and communicative. I love all of the pictures she sends. It feels good to know our fur baby has good care and company while we are away. Grateful to have found her on Rover.”

“Kayley is amazing! She took such good care of my pups even though they’re a little bit on the needier side. She sent great updates and I felt so comfortable leaving my pups in her care!”


“Danielle was fantastic for when we needed a sitter last minute. Very thorough, great communication/ updates, and took great care of our dog. Would recommend and use Danielle again,”
