She was amazing with my two cats. They are a little skittish around new people, but she was patient and they warmed up to her so quickly. One of my kitties has digestive issues and sometimes goes outside the box, and she was amazing with cleaning up, which I didn't even ask of her (my friend was in charge of messes). From the moment she met them, she was warm and excited to see them, which is one of the biggest comforts I can get. Highly recommend her for your pet needs!

Dachshunds approved. I booked Morgan for drop in visits while we were out of town. I was kind of nervous on how my 2 judgy wienerdogs would do, but somehow she won them over, and the pictures she sent proved it. So happy it all worked out.

Thank you Monica for taking care of my kitties while we were out of town. We could tell in the pictures that they really like you and looked calm and happy.

Madison went above and beyond caring for our dog and kitties. Buddy is an elderly dog and he was not feeling well. He had many accidents sadly and Madison attended to his needs and communicated well. She provided pictures and reached out when needed and made us feel comfortable.

Troy helped us out in a pinch today and was able to add an additional drop-in at the last minute. Our golden retriever has a mind of her own and he successfully navigated her routine. I will definitely contact Troy again.

We just returned from a 2 week trip, and Cory provided care for our 5 cats. He did a fabulous job! 3 of the cats were elusive, but the other 2 warmed up to him. He saw to all of their needs, and also fed the birds and squirrels for us. He did all we asked of him, and I was confident that they were in good hands. I highly recommend Cory, and will reach out to him for future needs. Thank you, Cory for the great job.

Brad was top notch, we’re so happy we found him! Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back home from vacation. Brad was punctual and we didn’t have to worry at all with our dogs in his hands. In fact, we immediately booked again with Brad and look forward to having him back. Thank you so much, Brad!

Emily did daily drop-in visits for our two cats while we were on a 10 day vacation. The cats are on a special diet and both have different needs for dietary supplements and one is on medication. We were hesitant burdening a friend with daily visits that included feeding wet food, filling automatic food dispensers, fresh water, litter clean up, as well as play and cuddles, so we reached out to Emily. She seems to genuinely care about the wellbeing of animals, and was conscientious about following the instructions for the cats' needs, very communicative, and I appreciated that she reached out with questions while we were gone instead of making assumptions. Emily was great with the cats and sent multiple pictures of their playtime and cuddles each day. I felt at ease while being on vacation and will hire her services again in the future. I would recommend Emily's services to any fellow pet parents :)

I couldn’t have asked for a better drop-in sitter for my cats. She truly went above and beyond, especially for my oldest cat who had matted fur. After asking for permission, she removed the matted areas and educated me on maintenance. I can tell how much she loves cats and how knowledgeable she is about them. I am so glad I found Rover and Sara.

Allyson was a wonderful caregiver for my Sunny boy. She sent pictures every day and seemed to capture every mood of his. She is a polite young woman who cares about animals and it shows. My Sunny warmed up to her and let her pet him. I would recommend Allyson if you’re looking for someone to take care of your fur babies while you’re away. I have complete confidence in her and would use her again. 😽👍👍

Cats and dogs are definitely Dawn’s specialty when it comes to pet-sitting duties. Our family left the country for a week and we had no doubt that our pets would be cleaned up after, walked, fed properly, and given the same structure we practice while we were gone. She also stayed in our home which was perfectly tidy when we returned home from vacation. Her communication and organization were both very appreciated.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, bathe, give meds, and fed their pets. I worked at a vet clinic in high school and gained many skills working with different animals but mainly dogs. I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday. I’m free anytime after 5pm in the evenings and on weekends. I’m comfortable doing overnight stays. Your pet and I will spend lots of time outside on walks, in backyards, or playing with their favorite toy. I will treat your pet like it’s my own. If you have specific requirements about crates, leashes, harnesses, or anything else, I’m happy to do them. I want to make your pet comfortable and happy.

About: I have had pets, mainly dogs my entire life! Since I was born my family had always had a dog or cat and I was partially responsible for it. Taking them out on walks and looking after them. Since moving out of my family home I have taken care of many family friends furry ones while they are out of town! When watching these pets I have been responsible for feeding, bathing, and walking them! I currently only have this as a part time job! I like to be up early in the morning so I can take dogs out or on walks in the morning. Almost every week night I am available to take care of pets after I am done with my 8-4 job. I have sporadic free time on weekends but would love to ensure that I can take care of the fur babies. I currently live in an apartment and I could have dogs or cats hosted at my home for short periods of time like a night or two. I can care for pets in clients homes by being there overnight if needed or being at the owners house for a majority of the evening ensuring that the animals are properly cared for before leaving and returning the next day if needed!

About: Hi! My name is Kaitlyn and I’ve been a full time Vet Tech for the past 4 years and the Lead Tech for the last year. I absolutely adore my job! I know how to properly administer medication and insulin and I’m trained to know when a pet is feeling sick or injured. I work from 7:30am-6pm from Tuesday-Friday I have every other Saturday off and my days off are Sundays and Mondays. You can always message me and ask about my availability! As a Vet Tech, I’m always working with animals at my job daily while I also dog/cat sit as a little side job. I’m devoted in aiding all animals and making sure that they receive the proper care needed in my presence. How I care for your pet will depend on your pet’s health, personality, and what they like to do! All animals are different and have different wants and needs. I’m comfortable and familiar with caring for all pets whether your pet is young with high energy, or if your pet is old and blind. Pets will be watched thoroughly throughout the day and will be let out several times a day to avoid any damages to my property, however; owner’s will be responsible for paying for any damages that may be done by their pet. Urinating and defecating on furniture, chewing on furniture, ripping up carpet, etc. To avoid damages when I’m not home, I recommend bringing a crate that I can put your pet in while I’m away (if they do well in crates). Pets must be up to date on core vaccinations (Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella). They also must be on flea and tick preventative and have a negative fecal check (no intestinal parasites).
