“Beth took such good care of our two cats while we were away!! She was so attentive to our care instructions and really treated them like they were her own! We will definitely be booking Beth again!!”


About: I’m a retired dog/cat groomer with 12 years of experience. During those 12 years of grooming I specialized in creating a safe, comfortable and trusting environment for all pets, specifically anxious and senior ones. Being around animals my entire life both personally and professionally has made animal behavior second nature to me. I offer bathing and nails for dogs under 50lbs (at clients house). Prices for bathing and nails are based on size and temperaments. I hope to meet your pups and/or kitties! I have an 8 year old Aussie/Heeler mix and my family has 2 dogs (german shepherd and a poodle mix), chickens and geese that we all chip in to take care of. I provide care based on the pets needs but always provide safety and comfort. In order to provide the best care in your home I will ask several questions to know what your pets preferences are

“I highly recommend Kelsey! She did an outstanding job taking care of our fur babies! She sent us daily pictures and videos and a very detailed report card on what she did during her visit. I would definitely use her services again and again!”


About: I've cared for pets most of my life. Everything from kittens and cats, to playful puppies and senior dogs who need extra TLC. Friends and family often rely on me when they go out of town because they know I treat every pet like my own. I have experience with feeding routines, giving medications, long walks, and just being a calming, loving presence. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else's care, and I always do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Right now, I have a very open and flexible schedule, which means I can give your pet lots of attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or just keeping them company, I’m home and available to meet their needs. Since I’m not balancing another job, I can focus fully on your pet and keep you updated with how they're doing. I prefer caring for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I stick closely to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime or medications, so things stay familiar while you're away. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, comfort, and company, especially if they’re used to having someone around. While staying in your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep everything clean and tidy. I’ll also keep you updated regularly with photos and notes, so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands.

“Mandi was great! She was reliable and took excellent care of my dogs while I was away. I know they were excited to see her when she arrived, and the attention she gave them was fantastic! They will miss her, but I'll definitely try to get her again the next time I can't take them with me. Thank you, Mandi!”


“Ana was amazing and all my fur babies loved her!! She took great care of them and gave me a wonderful peace of mind while I was away from them. I will definitely be using her again!”


About: I used to be a vet CSR + assistant, marketing manager for a pet care company and now I work from home full time as a video editor. I love that my current job gives me tons of time with my pets but I miss caring for more. Im experienced with all sorts of critters and volunteer with animal rescues in my spare time. I love getting to interact with animals on whatever scale they are comfortable with. Their comfort and well being is my top priority. I'm fully self employed so outside of my own crew of animals, I have a flexible schedule. I enjoy the excuse to get out of the house and get those steps in. :) Being careful with animal safety is extremely important to me. In home I have gates that can be used to maintain boundaries. For walks I keep aware that even the most leash trained dogs are still animals so an awareness of surroundings is crucial.

“This was my first time I used Rover for my dogs. I was extremely pleased with the care and communication that Jenika provided my girls while I was away for the holidays. She made the whole experience reassuringly being so far from home. My dogs seem to really love to see Jenika and she was really great with them and would send detailed visits and photos. I could see from my camera’s the girls were having a great time. I would definitely book with Jenika again or refer her.”


“Samantha provided exceptional care for my furry friend while I was away. She not only followed all the care instructions diligently but went above and beyond to ensure my pet felt loved and comfortable in my absence. Samantha's attention to detail and genuine passion for animals truly sets her apart. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Samantha, for giving me peace of mind knowing my pet was in such capable hands!”


About: Hello! My name is Stephanie Denise Animals are my life! I am a Special Education Teacher. I have always had pets growing up as a child, worked on my grandparent farm and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I live on a farm with my 3 miniature donkeys, 10 pigmy goats, and my 3 small fur babies (Tiny, Sweetie and Charles). My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets, farm animals and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I am currently a full-time virtual teacher on Monday through Friday. So I am always at home and available to care for your fur babies. I have an escape-proof and hazard-free backyard with dog houses, toys and slides. All fur babies have plenty of toys and space to play and or relax. I provide daily picture updates and notify the pet owner of any changes in stool or behavior. I never walk more than three dogs at a time, and I only take on dogs who are the suitable size and temperament. I feed each dog on opposite sides of the yard or home to prevent conflicts. I always tidy up and disinfect after guests' dogs droppongs. I make sure my phone is charged and that I am constantly accessible and responsive.

My family and I have had Boston terriers in our family for over 20 years and they are treated just like family to us. I promise that your pets will get the greatest love and care possible from me. I will be able to board your pet at my home 24/7 in comfort. Your pets will get my full attention because I do work from home. My family and I live on 10 acres of beautifully maintained property and your pets will have room to walk, run and play. I understand that you only want the best for your pets and I will be able to give you that trust in me. I will check in with you by text or phone and send you photos of your pets to let you know that your pet is having fun and doing good. Thank you so much and I hope to get the opportunity to meet you and your pets soon.

“Nate was great with the cats. One of them is recovering from a major illness and needed frequent check ins. Nate was there when we needed, provided a ton of updates and got her to eat a lot which was a major concern for us. Thanks again!”


“We were a little nervous at first with booking drop-in visits through Rover because we have only ever had our dogs taken care of by close friends and family while we were away. From our initial meet and greet, our 70 pound dogs (a senior Lab mix and a 3 year old extremely hyper Doberman) immediately took a liking to Samantha. She gave us such a wonderful first experience with drop-in visits that we now have the peace of mind from having someone that we could depend on and trust with our fur-babies. She was very punctual with our scheduled drop-ins to feed and water them. She also provided a whole lot of love, attention, and playtime. We received updates and entertaining pictures for the visits so we did not have to worry about anything and we knew they were in great hands.”


About: Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and loved animals. I have two dogs myself and give them the whole world. I have 16 years of experience of dog walking and pet sitting. I also use to work at a vet clinic, and was a dog groomer at a salon, so I have lots of experience from little to XL dogs 🐕 . I would love to come meet you and your fur babies! 🐾🐶 I'm currently am looking to fill my schedule to full time. So I have lots of time to play with your pups and give them the love and attention they deserve! I have two fur babies of my own that are the sweetest and love to play with others, but right now I currently am not offering in home boarding at my house.

About: I have always been an animal lover, and I’m currently the caretaker for an adventurous and fun miniature Australian Shepherd. I have supported all of my pups training and would love to assist and support your pets. I do work a full-time job, but have flexible hours to allow me easy availability, including nights and weekends. I love to incorporate daily walks and playtime. My home has a house fence and large backyard for open play. Alongside our super friendly and lovable mini Aussie, your pets are sure to feel at home.

“Honestly amazing! I was out of town when I noticed through our cameras that the autofeeder I had for the stray cats wasn't dispensing any food. It was a sudden request but Ashley was able to unjam the feeder and also offered to buy and refill the food when the food ran out. They even hid a package for me that was delivered while I was away so it wasn't stolen. For my first time using Rover I am highly impressed and thankful for Ashley. They additionally provide live updates and pictures during visits which is much appreciated. My request didn't require direct interaction with the cats but I think this is a reflection for how capable and reliable they are.”
