Beth did a great job caring for my 2 dogs and cat, as well as my friends dog who is large and very exuberant. She sent us great pictures frequently which made our day when we were away. We came home to the house looking great and well cared for. I would highly recommend Beth for any future fur-baby care!

About: I’ve always had dogs when it came to growing up. My family thought it was only natural to have them! I grew up living amongst 5 Great Danes. I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds! I’ve had dogs that weigh almost twice as me, and dogs that can fit into purses. I have over 10 years of experience with reactive dogs, since my pittie is very selective of other dogs. I have over 15 years of experience with puppies and training them as well! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday. 6:30-2:30. After that, I’m available for the rest of the day to let out, walk, feed, and take care of any pets. On the weekends, I am fully available, all day and all night! I care for my pets like they’re my own babies. We don’t have a fenced in yard, but I have one dog that is off leashed trained, and the other that must be on a leash at all times. Which means we go on walks around the property daily! I have an entire room dedicated to the bunnies, and the cat gets the whole house, along with the dogs.

There are no words strong enough to describe how grateful I am for Lashay. She didn’t just watch my dog Juno — she loved him like her own. From the moment they met, I could see the patience, warmth, and genuine care Lashay brings to everything she does. Juno isn’t the easiest dog. He’s big, emotional, and full of personality. But Lashay showed incredible calm and understanding, meeting him with kindness every step of the way. She gave me thoughtful updates, photos, and messages that made me feel completely at ease — and honestly, a little jealous because he looked so happy. But it didn’t stop there. Lashay took care of my cat too — with just as much love and attention. I’m not sure how she balances so much with such grace, but I do know this: my animals were in the best hands possible. If you’re lucky enough to have Lashay care for your pets, take it. She is one of a kind. Loving. Professional. Communicative. And above all, trustworthy. Juno and I are forever thankful.

Laci did a great job taking care of our 2 energetic springer spaniels (Willey is energetic+) She spent 2 days with them in our home. She followed all directions we left for her and checked in with us periodically - including pictures. We have had the same sitter for 7 years so we were somewhat nervous trusting the "kids" to someone new. Laci was a great choice! I will not hesitate to book her again and recommend her to my friends!

About: I have 14 years Veterinary experience with pet care, including medication and fluid administration, light grooming, post op care, and senior care. I know and am able to recognize signs of distress, medical emergencies, and changes in behavior which is vital to any Pet Care Professional providing services for your family member. I make it a point to document and monitor pets thoroughly and keep constant communication for owners peace of mind. Your pet's health, safety and happiness is my top priority and putting your furry family member first I own my own business specifically tailored to providing the best care for your pets, equines, and livestock. I am available 7 days a week and at a minimum try to book out at least a week in advance aside from my weekly clients that i see regularly, however I also work Monday through Friday from 830am-430pm I believe it is important to care for your family member in a stress free environment, and because of that i do not offer services in my home but instead i travel to you and provide services to your family member in their home where they are most comfortable and at ease.

About: Hey everyone I'm Ella and I've always had a house hold full of pets. Growing up my parents allowed a wide variety of animals to stay in our home. I love animals so much that I'm going in to a career field that is dedicated solely on the help of marine organisms. I currently live with a dog, cat, bearded dragon, leopard gecko and a ton of fish. So basically I can care for any pet needed. I work part time so I have a ton of free time on my hands. I’m trying to find better ways to spend my time rather than always going out. Hanging with any pet is always so fun and usually a better time then going out to begin with! Each pets different, all come with special likes and dislikes. I usually love to take dogs for walks but some may not be able to walk, and in those situations I like to do mind puzzles. For pet sitting I’d come over to the clients home and spend a few hours with them unless it’s a sleep away care. Pet walks would last min 30 minutes just to give the dogs some fresh air longer than normally done during days.

HIRE CHRIS. I won the lottery with him. It was my first time using Rover. I have a special needs rabbit who needed a caretaker after a rabbit boarding service was no longer available. I messaged several sitters and Chris was the first to respond. He is responsive and communicative. What I absolutely love about Chris, among many things, is that he asks questions. Not in a "what do I do" kind of way. Rather, "how do I do this to make sure it's done correctly". My special needs rabbit is on a specialized diet. I left Chris with instructions, which he followed to a tee, but he also sent a photo of the food. (My rabbit is feed very soft, watered down pellets and Critical Care due to recent dental surgery). I'm happy that he did because my rabbit can't chew on pellets. He sent lots of photos of Moo, too. Chris was also flexible with the initial meet 'n' greet appointment and visiting my landlord's office to pick up my front door key (which has to be loaned out). One of the reasons I chose Chris was his close proximity to my apartment. I will 5000% hire Chris again for my rabbit sitting needs. He took great care of my very special needs rabbit and Moo liked him too! I recommend him for your pet sitting needs, including small mammals!

About: I’ve always wanted pets since I was a kid. When I was 10 I got my first dog, a Saint Bernard named Barry. I’ve been nuts about dogs ever since. That grew into a love for all animals, and I have owned horses, cats and dogs over the last 20 years. 10 years ago I accepted a job at an equestrian facility. That opened the door to my first ever pet sit and since then I’ve worked all over the area. I took a break for awhile, due to my schedule becoming to full with other commitments, now I’m back ready to accept some new clients. Obviously our pets are a huge part of our lives. I do not take that responsibility lightly. When I come into a home I bring my heart and passion to the job to make sure the animals under my care feel comfortable, safe and as smoothly adjusted as they can be to someone new in their environment. I have worked with pretty much every dog you can think of. Rescues with timid personalities, small pups, giant breeds. And hard work does not put me off, I most recently spent two weeks rehabbing a German Shepard who had broken her leg. This is not a normal situation but I mention because this happened two days prior to this client leaving. There was very little time to plan and adapting on the fly was necessary. And that’s what I can do, provide a solid plan of care but also think on my feet if the situation arises. I look forward to the conversations to be had here and the new pets that I will meet. I recently switch careers which has boosted my flexibility in providing my overnight pet sitting services which is why I’ve reactivated my Rover services. I specialize in sits that last a week to two, with former experience from the last 10 years I’ve learned how to treat my clients pets as my own and tailor my schedule to their needs. I work fully remote in the banking sector. This means I take work with me to my housesits and can be hands on with the pets during the day. I do require high speed WiFi for work, if looking into having me stay during the day this is required for me to work from your home. Otherwise my care is overnight and home to work during the day and then back for overnight with the pets. I provide both full days of if I can bring work with or just overnight and mornings if I cannot.

Hannah was a hit with the dogs as soon as she arrived for her get-to-know meeting! I have 3 dogs ranging from 4lbs to 70lbs and she was so calm and patient with all of them while they were greeting her!! She sent pictures, responded quickly to any texts I sent and was so flexible when our trip was shortened. I definitely will be using her again AND feel very confident in referring her to friends.

Laurel is one of the most thoughtful and attentive people I know, with a natural ability to make animals feel safe, loved, and at ease. Her calm energy and deep respect for all living beings really stand out, and it’s clear she takes pet care seriously—from the smallest details to the biggest responsibilities. While she’s cared for my pets, I’ve seen firsthand how she goes above and beyond to make sure they feel secure and happy. Laurel’s also incredibly reliable and communicative, making her a joy to work with and someone I’d trust time and again.

That grew into a love for all animals, and I have owned horses, cats and dogs over the last 20 years. 10 years ago I accepted a job at an equestrian facility. That opened the door to my first ever pet sit and since then I’ve worked all over the area. I took a break for awhile, due to my schedule becoming to full with other commitments, now I’m back ready to accept some new clients. Obviously our pets are a huge part of our lives. I do not take that responsibility lightly. When I come into a home I bring my heart and passion to the job to make sure the animals under my care feel comfortable, safe and as smoothly adjusted as they can be to someone new in their environment. I have worked with pretty much every dog you can think of. Rescues with timid personalities, small pups, giant breeds. And hard work does not put me off, I most recently spent two weeks rehabbing a German Shepard who had broken her leg. This is not a normal situation but I mention because this happened two days prior to this client leaving. There was very little time to plan and adapting on the fly was necessary. And that’s what I can do, provide a solid plan of care but also think on my feet if the situation arises. I look forward to the conversations to be had here and the new pets that I will meet. I recently switch careers which has boosted my flexibility in providing my overnight pet sitting services which is why I’ve reactivated my Rover services. I specialize in sits that last a week to two, with former experience from the last 10 years I’ve learned how to treat my clients pets as my own and tailor my schedule to their needs. I work fully remote in the banking sector. This means I take work with me to my housesits and can be hands on with the pets during the day. I do require high speed WiFi for work, if looking into having me stay during the day this is required for me to work from your home. Otherwise my care is overnight and home to work during the day and then back for overnight with the pets. I provide both full days of if I can bring work with or just overnight and mornings if I cannot.

Hannah was a hit with the dogs as soon as she arrived for her get-to-know meeting! I have 3 dogs ranging from 4lbs to 70lbs and she was so calm and patient with all of them while they were greeting her!! She sent pictures, responded quickly to any texts I sent and was so flexible when our trip was shortened. I definitely will be using her again AND feel very confident in referring her to friends.
