“I could not have been happier about Laura cared for Roscoe (my dog). She shared with me on a daily basis what they were doing and how he was doing. I am certain there was a definite bond made between them. She was absolutely great. Thank you. Cindy”


“I am always worried when I move to a new area and need to find a sitter. But, I found Jade and she takes wonderful care of my 2 cats. It worked so well, that I invited her back for more stays with my fur babies.”


“Ashley did great with our two pups! She seemed to know how to navigate our more anxious pup and get her to warm up to her, which is huge for me as I worry about our anxious girl! Our other pup is deaf and a bit of a handful, but she did great!”


“Abby was great to work. She communicated frequently and asked questions to make sure she followed what Yoly needed. She kept Yoly in her routine and was a great house guest. I would not hesitate to book with Abby again.”


About: I have taken care of just about any animal you can think of. I was a veterinary assistant for 4 years. I am 25 years old and currently finishing my bachelor’s degree online at SIUE. I am a teaching assistant for the local school district now! However, I really miss seeing pets all the time so I would love to pet sit for you! I have my own fur babies but I love to meet new pets and build connections with them as well as their owners! I am currently working part time as a nanny and looking to add more pet sitting clients to my workload! I am in college and trying to save money for my future and pet sitting is a very flexible way for me to do that, plus I enjoy it so much! I always love to spend quality time with the animals I am caring for, it helps them to become more comfortable and makes it more enjoyable for me as well! I like to learn the little things that each pet I take care of likes most and use that to bring them comfort and joy while I am caring for them!

“This was my first time using the Rover app and Emily was Perfect and completely put my mind at ease and allowed my to enjoy my vacation. My pup loved her, and she took amazing care of him while we were away!”



“Dominick house sat and took care of my 5 year old sheepdog for 9 days while I was on vacation and he was amazing! I am always nervous about leaving my dog with anyone and it was all very last minute, but he arrived early and was very polite. He sent me pictures of my dog and made sure he had daily cuddles. I came home to a very happy pup and the house was exactly as I left it. Would absolutely recommend him if you’re looking for a responsible and responsive rover!”
