About: Hello, My name is Maria! I will be going into my senior year of college, after I graduate I hope to continue my studies to become a veterinarian. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, play, and feed their pets while they were away on vacation or at work. Currently I am working at a local animal shelter where I have gained experience handling nervous and reactive dogs, as well as seniors and puppies. I have also been trained to administer medication. I love all dogs and will treat them as my own! During the school year I will only be available during certain hours so please send me a message to discuss what days/times you will be in need of my help! I will be respectful of your home and be inside only during the time of my services. I will leave everything as I found it.
“Amanda does such a great job taking care of my cat. She us very reliable and my usually fussyand shy cat really likes and trusts her. I know when I'm away he is getting the best possible care.”

“I can’t recommend Maddy enough! She took amazing care of my cat, Jinx, while I was away. Maddy was incredibly thoughtful, responsible, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated with photos and little notes about how Jinx was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I got home, Jinx was happy and relaxed. It’s such a relief knowing I can trust someone who genuinely cares. If you’re looking for someone to treat your pets like family, Maddy’s the one!”

About: I’ve been pet-sitting for over 20 years! Neighbors, colleagues, family, and friends have relied on me to look after their pets during long and short intervals. Every pet parent knows what it’s like to need an extra hand with their pets, whether it’s an extra check-in or potty break for senior dogs and cats, to some couch time spent with them during a long trip. I like to make sure people come home to a happy pet and that they feel reassured of their pets’ safety and comfort while they’re away! I’m not working during the summer, which means I’m free anytime to spend quality time with your pets. I’m an early riser! Always happy to get a walk in before the sun heats everything up. From September to June I work in an elementary school, which leaves me with a lot of flexible time to walk dogs, cuddle cats, bring in the mail, water the plants, and anything else you need! I will take care of your pets and your home as if they were my own. That means safety is always my top priority for your creatures and your house. I will respect the rules of your house, and do my best to alleviate any concerns you have about being away- frequent check-ins, photo updates, etc. My goal is to provide maximum peace of mind for my clients.

With 2 dogs of my own, I make sure that I spend as much time at home with them as possible. I have a very large yard that is fenced in on 3 sides, with 100ft tethers to give them the freedom to run around and explore the whole property. I have 2 very playful pups that love having friends over! I can crate a dog, if needed, or have multiple raised beds and large dog pillows with blankets to keep everyone cozy. The pups' comfort, safety, and well-being always comes first!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young, but never got the opportunity to own one myself. I do have experience with dogs, including aggressive ones, anxious ones, seniors, and puppies. I’ve been trained on animal behavior and know how to correct inappropriate behavior. I worked full time at a pet board and daycare so I promise I understand dogs! I’m currently out of work due to some personal matters, but I am more than physically fit to take care of animals. I am pregnant and due in January, but that doesn’t stop me from being active! I currently do not offer pet care in my own home, but I do offer in-home pet care. Depending on your pet’s personality and their personal requirements I can pill pop medication, but I don’t do injectables. I can also bathe them if that is something you’re interested in. I do ask that if you have a reactive dog that you provide your own materials, whether it be a certain leash, collar, and/or muzzle while on a walk or during baths. Anything to make your pet more comfortable while in my care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
Magnoly did an incredible job caring for our babies! This was our first Rover experience, and she immediately put us at ease by coming to meet us and our dogs a few days before our stay. She was punctual, kept us updated throughout the weekend with photos and sweet messages, administered medication for one of our dogs, and kept them on their normal routine. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we got home, which told us they had a wonderful time! We would absolutely recommend Magnoly to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their fur babies. ❤️

Ann Marie had been so reliable and flexible with watching our dog! She is always on time for check-ins and was able to help with an urgent request when we were really in a bind. She is so caring and patient with our dog and we can’t wait to book our next appointment with Ann Marie! She is the best!!

I’m so unbelievably grateful for Courtney as she took such great care of my boys! I very suddenly had a family member pass away and needed to leave town for the services without much notice. Despite the short notice, Courtney was able to accommodate my request and a couple of last minute changes to the schedule. Her communication throughout the entire experience was amazing. This was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous to have someone else taking care of my two dogs. Those nerves quickly went away as soon as my boys met her, they absolutely loved her! Both of my dogs were so excited to see her and seemed to have a wonderful time with her, I was incredibly thankful that I didn’t feel like I had to worry about them at all while I was away. Courtney was very knowledgeable about dogs and, despite just meeting my two, she seemed to understand their behaviors and quirks instantly. She asked great questions about them and their care routine and listened to everything I had to say about them. Courtney was very timely when coming to care for my dogs and took the cutest pictures! The pictures showed me that my dogs were having a wonderful time with her. They were both fed exactly as instructed and they always had fresh water. I will 100% be booking with Courtney in the future!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
