About: I have taken care of my parents senior dog in my home while they were out of town. Helped a former coworker with her dog, also in my home, while she was out of town. I have helped a friend of mine with their senior dog + 4 cats in their home as drop in visits while they were out of town. Since starting Rover, I have had multiple in home stays with dogs, and homes that have both dogs and cats. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. My morning routine includes leaving the house by 7:00 AM to take my child to daycare or school. Before departing, all pets in my care are taken outside, fed, and provided with any necessary medications. Depending on the proximity of your home, I may be available to stop by during my lunch break to check on and care for your pet. After work, I pick up my child from daycare and can typically arrive at your home around 5:00 PM. Upon arrival, dogs will be taken outside promptly and fed as needed. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss specific care needs or scheduling. I care for pets with the same level of attention and compassion as I do my own. I follow each pet’s individual feeding schedule, ensure they always have access to fresh water, and administer any required medications as directed. Dogs are taken outside regularly for bathroom breaks and exercise, and I make time to play and engage with them to keep them happy and active. For cats, I maintain clean litter boxes in addition to providing consistent feeding, fresh water, and attentive care. I also enjoy offering treats when permitted; my daughter especially loves helping to give treats, making it a fun and positive experience for your pet.
“Allison was absolutely wonderful with my cats when I was away for an extended period. She sent me photos of her playing with them every day, and even got my shy girl to trust her and come for cuddles! I would recommend Allison to anyone and will always use her again in the future”
“We had Beth watch our dog for the second time. She followed all instructions and did a fantastic job again. We love that we've found Beth. Our dog loves her and so do we!”
“Kyra did an outstanding job with Lucy! Lucy is deaf & skittish with people, but seemed to know that Kyra would take good care of her. Would recommend Kyra highly to take care of your pet!”
“Katherine did an excellent job taking care of my 2 cats. She was able to give medication to my cat who hates taking his asthma pills. She went above and beyond to clean up the messes left by my cats left.”
“Emily is very sweet and attentive to my dog’s needs, my dog, Mia liked her immediately, which it is not a given. She is responsive and punctual, I already recommended her to friends.”
About: Six years of experience and 5 star ranking as a dog walker on Wag! Passionate about caring for pets and ensuring the pet’s health and safety! Currently I am transitioning roles/only working part time, so I have plenty of time to care for pets! I love taking time for pets—I often schedule it into my routine :) I will gladly ensure that your home is well cared for and I respect your space! I’ve worked for several years as a dog walker / done overnight visits—I always leave the space in great condition! I will clean up after your pets and ensure no mess is left!
About: I am a veterinary assistant with Public Vet, where I complete physical exams on over 100 cats a day! In my free time, I foster and work hard to get my kitties adopted after fulfilling their medical and love-needs. I have had many dogs in the past, but have only fostered one. An English Bulldog with spina bifida-Lyla. She was disabled and completely incontinent, and required much care. I love and miss her dearly, she is now 2 years old and has been with her forever family for 2 years! If your pet has any medical needs, you can count on me to take care of them every step of the way. If you are someone who enjoys photos of your best friend, expect many! (In addition to Dannie, I also go by my nickname-Mae!) I am currently a student and work occasionally at the local cat cafe and part-time at a veterinary clinic. Most of my nights I spend studying. Most of my weekdays are spent in and out of class. Having your pet at home would occur on nights and days when my work load is the least (some days I only have 1-2 classes), that way your pets needs are never compromised. Pets in my care are firstly loved on tremendously. I am also happy to meet any requirements owners have for their pets. Is your pet afraid of the TV for some reason? It will never be on. This goes for in my own home, and in yours as well.

Thank you very much for taking care of Quantum! This was the longest we've all been away since adopting her, and we sure appreciate the daily drop in visits so she could remain at home in her familiar surroundings. We were happy to get daily photos, even if most of them were her hiding under the bed. :) Thanks again.
Rachel was amazing and made my first Rover experience so easy and stress-free. She was super responsive, flexible with scheduling, and incredibly kind. It was clear right away that my cat would be in great hands. She sent multiple photos and thoughtful updates after every visit, which meant a lot to me while I was away. On top of that, I had a travel issue come up and needed a last-minute visit with very little notice. Rachel responded quickly and even helped take care of the booking when I didn’t have service or availability to do so. I truly can’t thank her enough. She went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. I’d recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Hannah did an excellent job! My cat can be skittish and slow to warm up to people, and it is clear that Hannah knew what to do to make her feel safe. I could tell by the pictures Hannah sent that my cat felt comfortable and trusting. My cat takes pills for asthma, and Hannah had no problem administering those. She communicated with me every day, stopping by regularly twice a day for a week, and responded to my messages immediately. I highly recommend her for her kindness, reliability, and knowledge as a vet med student, and will absolutely use her services again when I'm out of town.
Kath has been wonderful with Billie. I truly appreciate how flexible and reliable she is, which makes scheduling much easier and less stressful. Knowing that she is a veterinary technician gives me extra confidence, especially when it comes to administering medications correctly and safely. Most importantly, she is someone I genuinely trust and feel secure leaving Billie with. I highly recommend her.
