Brenna took excellent care of our dogs during drop-in visits. She was always on time, followed instructions, and gave them the time they needed to do their business with extra love and cuddles.

Mikayla stopped by to check on our cat. She’s professional, reliable and great at communicating! She gave our kitty some food, treats, checked on her littre box, and more importantly gave her some love😻 My cat was happy and I could hear her PURRRs on the phone 🧡 Thank you Mikayla!

Kylie took such great care of my sweet boy! My kitty has a particular feeding routine but she followed it perfectly, sent pictures every visit, and was able to accommodate us on short notice. I would have been happy with the bare minimum but she went above and beyond. I will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future. Thanks again Kylie!!

Lillian was amazing with my two cats. They are both very shy but warmed up to her quickly. She sent daily pictures and eased my anxiety while I was out of the country.

About: I've always loved being around animals and enjoyed making them feel comfortable and safe. People always warn me about their pets before I meet them saying they may do too much of this or that but it truly would never bother me at all. I adore animals, especially dogs, and I've even had my own dog to take of as well. I would be taking classes over the summer, but they're asynchronous so the work load is no rush and because of that I feel like I would have plenty time to take care of any pets if needed. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their usual environment. I follow any instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, and house rules. During visits and walks, I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and make sure they're getting plenty of attention and care. I also make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos whenever possible.

I have nothing but glorious things to say about Victoria! I had an urgent/emergency need to travel back home (8hrs away) and sent the request over to Victoria at 12am, by 10:30am she was at my house doing a meet and greet with my 3 rowdy pups. Our agreement was drop ins and Victoria was on time, took care of my pups, sent photos, a rover care card, and even let me know when one of my pups had gathered some new scratches in between visits. I really appreciated the communication and flexibility Victoria had. I would definitely recommend and render her services again!

About: I’m the kind of sitter who makes pets feel like they’ve known me forever, safe, seen, and ready for a good time. I bring a mix of high energy, real experience, and a genuine love for all kinds of pets. I’m great with puppies who need structure, rescues who need patience, and seniors who need comfort and consistency. I read body language well, keep pets active and engaged, and tailor everything to their personality so they feel safe, confident, and cared for, and at the end of the day, pets get someone who’s fully present, tuned in, and committed to making their time feel good and stress free( since they have so much responsibility). 🤗 Use my promo code for your first visit: KAITLM75162 Profile link: https://www.rover.com/sit/kaitlm75162 I structure my days around walks, feeding, playtime, and check ins, so caring for pets naturally fits into my morning and evening rhythm. I’m active and outside often, which makes daily walks and enrichment easy to build in. Weekly, I plan extra time for longer walks, yard play, and any overnight care that’s needed. I stay attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s extra exercise, slow introductions, or a calm environment for seniors or rescues. I follow the owner’s routines closely so pets stay in their familiar rhythm. Walks, feeding, medication, and enrichment are done exactly as instructed. I keep the home tidy, respect boundaries, and make sure pets get the same level of attention, affection, and structure they’re used to.

Valerie provided excellent care for our dogs under extremely difficult conditions. Our vet had prescribed trazadone to help relieve Bubba's separation anxiety. Unfortunately, the trazadone caused him to have diarrhea. That caused him to develop a bad rash and infection despite Valerie's best efforts to keep him clean and comfortable. The demands on her time became too much, since she has a full-time job and several other pets to care for. None of us could have seen this coming, but eventually we had to bring on a new Rover sitter who could spend the time and effort to take care of Bubba. Of course we also had her discontinue the trazadone. Again none of the problem was Valerie's fault. She did all she could and more. We would certainly hire her again.

Hailey is a fantastic pet sitter! We have used her twice now, and even though our kitty is shy and doesn’t come out, Hailey makes sure she is well taken care of when we’re gone. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality pet care.
