Hailey was punctual and made sure our cats were well taken care of. Instructions were followed to the letter and we got a picture every single drop-in to see how our kitties were doing.

Nicole did a great job with my dog Shadow. He looked so so happy in all of the pictures she sent. She was extremely punctual with her timing, and kept me updated on how the visit went!

About: I have owned and lived with dogs and cats for my entire life. After losing my beloved shihtzu 6 years ago I decided I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others. I foster pets, dogsit/housesit board and walk dogs and I have a flexible schedule. I love dogs of all sizes but I only have space in my own home for dogs under 20lbs. I am available to do home checks and midday walks. I am available for overnights or weekends stays. I will of course follow your rules for whether pets are allowed on the furniture but as far as I am concerned, your pets are family and in my home they can go anywhere that I can go! If you’re looking for someone calm, dependable and responsible, look no further! I have a flexible schedule and can be available for midday walks, dinner, enrichment, and overnights. I love field trips and fun adventures with your pup and can also just hang out if they need companionship. I do not have any pets of my own so that I can dedicate my time to pet sitting and fostering. This enables me to host small pets in my home or to stay with pets for extended periods such as vacations.

Samantha took incredible care of my dog, arriving on time, providing consistent updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away!! It was clear Griffen was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Samantha again.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for years, helping friends, family, and neighbors with feeding, walking, and playtime. As a labor and delivery nurse, I’m extremely attentive, responsible, and calm under pressure, so your pet will always be in safe hands. I have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to keep them comfortable, loved, and on their routine. I’m also comfortable giving medications if needed and providing updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. I have an old girl (my Dalmatian Layla) who has been on meds for years so I have the experience needed! As a night shift nurse, I’m home and available during the day, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and care. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I can maintain a consistent routine with frequent potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I’m available for boarding most days and weekends, with flexibility for drop-ins and walks. My schedule allows me to be attentive, dependable, and fully present for your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and a safe, pet-friendly home, along with two friendly, well-socialized dogs. I supervise all interactions closely and can separate or crate pets if needed. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow your routines exactly to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. With my nursing background, I’m detail-oriented, attentive, and committed to providing a calm, loving, and secure environment.

Kaeleigh is a kind, caring, and honest pet sitter. She pays great attention to detail and sends me information about my cat's disposition (with photos) during every drop-in visit. She's easily able to address all of my cat's needs, and she goes above and beyond to make sure my cat is feeling well. Kaeleigh is very sweet, friendly, and trustworthy. I highly recommend her pet-sitting services.

***FIRST TIME ROVER USER**** When my normal sitter became unavailable, unexpectantly, I had no idea what to do. I was at the point of not going away on my vacation because it was about a week away from leaving. This was my first time using Rover, and my anxiety was through the roof about the entire process and the idea of a stranger coming into my home. I chose Marybeth primarily based upon location, her photos of her and her pets and her age/experience. Upon meeting Marybeth, her overall kindness and genuine, sweet, friendly personality put me at ease immediately. She listened attentively to what my needs were and my animals routines, without trying to change or judge anything. She was promptly responsive to all of my communication prior to leaving for my trip and the duration as well. When meeting (2) of my (3) fur babies kitties (only because 1 is a scaredy cat and won't come out for anyone really), you could tell immediately that she has a love of cats and taking care of them appropriately and lovingly. I left instructions for her and she followed all of my requests (even non animal related, like bringing in my mail and checking on my refrigerator door that pops open). She was even kind enough to check on my hamster even though that was not part of the animals requested to watch. Every day while I was gone, she was on time, left me a happy little note about the status of everything and pictures of all my babies. Personally, the fear/worry/anxiety about leaving my babies as well as just someone coming in my home was enormous, and Marybeth really put that to ease for me. (I know I already mentioned that, but I figured for anyone reading this, who is on the fence about hiring through Rover). I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, kind, sweet person to take care of your precious family members while you are away. She even returned my key promptly upon my return. Thank you to her again. I am forever grateful for her.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life, more dog time than cats but love them equally! Would love to spend more time with animals. Right now, I do have one black lab mix at home. I’ve raised dogs from 8 weeks old on and loved them beyond belief. Currently, I’m on maternity leave through the end of the year so I’m flexible and will have my baby with me. Once I go back to work, I will be able to use my lunch break to do drop-in visits only. We have a fenced in yard at home so we go out off leash together for playtime and bathroom breaks. My dog also gets walks at least once a day with a harness as I feel like it less likely for him to break free should he try.

Jose did an amazing job with Marley! I was able to leave an entire week without having to worry once. Was always on time and walked my dog to the park every time. Marley loved Jose, so much so Marley was playing fetch with sticks which I’ve never seen him do! Jose also took amazing pictures at every check in

Net was the best dog sitter during our short vacation from home. She left report cards for our two elderly dogs and sent so many pictures. It's nice to be able to leave and know your kiddos will still be cared for! Can't thank her enough.

Elizabeth took care of my cats as if they were her own. She was an excellent communicator and sent me tons of pictures and videos, so I knew they were in good hands while I was away. Even more amazingly, my one cat is very scared of new people, but he warmed up to her right away. Cats can tell when humans are safe and I am so thankful to know they were given loving time and attention in my absence. I highly recommend and plan to book Elizabeth again for my future cat sitting needs!

Shyma was an AMAZING kitty caretaker! He came over to meet my shy kitties in advance, and to learn how to administer my kitty’s inhaler medication, and was a natural. I loved and appreciated the attentiveness of Shyma, from the picture updates and reports, to Shyma’s excellent understanding of how to work with extremely shy cats. Shyma was patient yet determined with my shy crew- and my kitties eventually made friends! I would definitely hire Shyma to cat-sit again. Shyma is extremely personable and an obvious animal-lover. Thank you for everything!
