“Haylie came in clutch as a last minute sitter for my dogs. She was on time every day and stayed with them the full hour (I only needed a mid-day potty and play break for my dogs). She sent me pictures of my pups and let me know how they were doing. I would book Haylie again.”

“It’s rare these days to come across people who do exactly what they say they’re gonna do. That is how I feel about Sherri. She was prompt, kind, and true to her word in sending pictures. I know my kitty cats were so grateful to have her visit. I didn’t have one concern while I was away, and that was exactly my goal. I will definitely be calling on Sherri again!! You will never regret asking Sherri to take care of your fur babies”

“Melissa and her husband come HIGHLY recommended by me. I have had them come and check in on my beloved kitty several times now. My cat (who is incredibly picky about who she will even let’s see her) just loves Melissa! These guys are truly top-notch trustworthy animal, loving people.”

“Sylvia was amazing as always. She goes above and beyond. I had a leak from my refrigerator which she discovered when she came to do a visit. She enlisted the help of her husband who helped clean up the water and turned off the water to the refrigerator. She advised me what was going on via email but had already handled it by the time I read the messages. You are so appreciated Sylvia.”

“Cecily has been checking on our cat Miri all summer long while we have been out of town. I highly recommend her. She is very reliable and trustworthy and I hope to continue using her anytime we are out of town. Thanks Cecily!”

“Allison did three drop in visits on our two cats while we were out of town on our honeymoon. She was extremely communicative and thorough, sending detailed messages and lots of pictures. She played with them, made sure they had food/water, and cleaned their litter box each time. We will be using her again and I highly recommend her.”

“Sarah was great with Moose. He has a great time with her and my mind was at ease while we were gone! She went above and beyond to make sure his needs were met and I really appreciated the little extra things she did without being asked (like washing his water bowl!). I could tell she really takes pride in how she cares for her clients. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone to look after their dogs!”

About: I have worked along side dog trainers and groomers in the past and have had a pet dog for the most of my life. I have also worked with rescued pets including cats and have adopted some of my own. I have years worth of experience being around animals and I currently have my own sweet dog I rescued a few years ago at home. I am retired, so my availability is flexible. I am not available on Tuesday and Thursday because I help out family at a retirement home. I care for my pet at home like she's my child. She is my family and I will treat my clients pets like family also.
“I really appreciated her help. She came when supposed to cared and looked after my 2 dogs for drop in care. Really cared about how they were doing and sent me pictures every visit.”

“We know Britt gives lots of love and attention to our boy Finn because he is so “normal” and happy when we get home from travels. Not always the case with other folks sitting for him. Britt is awesome and we are happy to have her on Rover!”

“Did a wonderful job with our cats! They're all happy and healthy, and the check-in pics sent were adorable. I think the girls will miss them lol. very professional, would book again!”
“Jaslyn is amazing! I wish I had found her sooner. She was great with our fur baby. Shared lots of pics of her, let her swim, played ball outside. We will definitely be booking with her again.”


About: I have taken care of multitude of animals since I was 7. I have a true passion for any and all animals. Ever since I can remember I’ve had snakes, horses, goats, chickens, dogs, cats, and hedgehogs. I’ve house sitted, I’ve walked animals, fed animals, provided medicine and other types of medical care to animals. I’m truly available for anything and will help when needed! I’m currently working part time. My schedule varies but usually I’m schedule 7am -3 on Monday, Wednesdays, and Sundays. I also have college classes on Tuesday’s and Thursdays from 10am -2:15pm. I can still provide care on those days as long as we can work around my schedule! In my home, I feed my dogs, walk my dogs, play with them, I also feed and play with my cats, I have to clean out my snake enclosures, I feed the chickens, and I also feed and play around with our bunny. I had one client for a while and I used to stay at their house while also going to work, but I would take care of their older dog who struggled with dementia and ear problems. I would give him medicated baths and rub ear drops in his ear to make sure they were clean. I also would do small chores around their house or any chores they asked me to do. I would spend the night until they came home! I have a lot of animals but I currently have none living with me since I’ve moved for college, except for one cat but it’s my roommates.

I have two dogs, to ensure your peace of mind if I host your loved one in my home, my two fur babies will be on the second floor completely separate.
“Kiana is a dedicated sitter who loved my babies like her own. My kitty is officially obsessed with her. I’m not sure he wants me to come home after seeing the sweetest connection they developed during Kiana’s stay. 😻”

“Meagan came over and took care of my pups when I had some work to do. She did an excellent job with playing/taking care of them and the pups seemed to really like her. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing their dogs watched, walked, played with, etc. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: I have been taking care of animals for my entire life. I have experience with dogs, cats, and even birds! I have always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I have been an animal lover all of my life, and I look forward to loving your animals too! I am retired and work around my own pets schedule. I am available during most daytime hours into the evening. My cats get me up in the early morning. I think pet care is a very personalized service. My services will vary based on each individual pets’ needs. I enjoy playing with, petting, walking, and feeding pets.
“Valerie was incredible, our pups loved her! She kept us up to date with photos and thorough summaries of her time with them, brought them homemade treats (with our consent), and even left little “report cards” of her time with them as a whole. She will definitely be our go to for the pups in the future. Our minds were completely at ease. Thank you so much again, Valerie!”

Lakeside cat parents share their Rover experiences
I have two now older and high maintenance pets and Shalik was fantastic with them! I came home to healthy, happy pets and no messes! The cat likes to express his displeasure in a variety of ways usually. His coat was like silk, so he had clearly been brushed and our dog was calm and content. Shalik was just wonderful!

Sylvia was amazing as always. She goes above and beyond. I had a leak from my refrigerator which she discovered when she came to do a visit. She enlisted the help of her husband who helped clean up the water and turned off the water to the refrigerator. She advised me what was going on via email but had already handled it by the time I read the messages. You are so appreciated Sylvia.
