“Jen B. is the purrfect pet sitter. We were on an 8-day cruise and didn’t worry about our three kitties at all knowing Jen was taking care of them. She gave our sassy senior, Kate, her thyroid meds which was a huge relief. She was very patient with our other two scaredy cats. We highly recommend Jen. She’s pawesome!”

“Sarah took amazing care of my cat Khaleesi while I was away! I got lots of adorable pictures every visit with updates on how Khaleesi was eating and how her medication administration went. I’ve already booked her again for my next trip!”

“Mary did an excellent job caring for my cats Pumpkin and Ginger. I would highly recommend her to care for your pets and I will certainly have her back to card for my babies. Awesome job!”

“Daniel took amazing care of our two cats while we were away for a week. We really appreciated the great communication and detailed daily updates and photos. The cats seemed really well taken care of, their feeding areas were super clean, and it was clear that he took time to play with them and try to gain our shy one's trust. We felt really comfortable with Daniel and would definitely book him again. Thank you again!! 😺”

“Abby is wonderful! She knows how to take good care of dogs and guinea pigs. Our pitbull mix Hazel got along with her really well. The guinea pigs were kept clean and healthy. I highly recommend her.”

About: My first puppy was at 12 years old and since then I knew i never wanted to be without a dog for the rest of my life. I have experience training puppies, caring for studs and dames, and most recently caring for and putting an elder dog down. Personally, having someone trusted to care for my dogs is the biggest stress relief to me - and I want to be that for someone else. I work 4 days a week in a very flexible schedule with always weekends off. We are a 2 income household with no children so we have A LOT of flexibility. I have invisible fencing, as well as, ties/ cords attached that are accessible to our backyard and our front yard. I live in a low traffic neighborhood and have several outdoor cameras.
“Robin was excellent with my cat! She was very responsive and provided good updates while away. I would gladly use Robin again and recommend her if you need someone to watch your pet(s).”

About: I’ve taken care of Dogs for over 20+ years. Love to engage with all dogs I’ve had dogs of all sizes from boxers to poodles. Love to walk dogs in my spare time when I have breaks during the day. I’d love to help your dog get out and enjoy the day. Friendly community where we walk the dogs. Easy access to outside and a deck for dogs to play on. We have walking sidewalks all through the community.
“Marisa was wonderful! She was great with providing pictures and details for her stops with our dog. This is our first time using a drop in sitter versus a boarding facility and will be sure to use her in the future! We have a crazy lab and she loves Marisa! Thanks for everything!”

About: I love furry friends of all kinds. While I grew up with cats, I have been around dogs of all sizes my whole life and love pets of all kinds! I work a schedule different than most. Because I work nights and weekends - I have some extra time during the day for your furry friends. So while you are busy at your 9-5 you can trust that your pets are taken care of and ready for you to be home :) I am detail oriented and will worry about your pet as if they are my own. I follow directions to a T and will be sure to take good care of your fur family!
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom of two, so I truly understand the importance of trusting the person caring for your pup. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to wise seniors—and I’m comfortable giving medication when needed. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, a long hike, or some good old-fashioned cuddle time, I tailor each visit to your dog’s energy level and personality. My goal is always to keep tails wagging and pet parents worry-free. Pet care is naturally built into my daily life—I’m already walking, feeding, and loving on my two dogs every day. Adding extra walks, playtime, and check-ins for your pets fits seamlessly into my routine. I enjoy being active, so heading out for walks or hikes is something I look forward to, not something I “squeeze in.” Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I make pet care a priority and keep a flexible schedule to meet the needs of both pets and their people. When pets are in my care, I treat them as if they were part of my family. In my own home, that means a safe, cozy environment, plenty of playtime, and regular walks to keep them happy and healthy. I keep routines consistent with what they’re used to—whether that’s mealtime schedules, medication, or favorite bedtime rituals. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s space and the family’s. I follow instructions carefully, ensure that food, water, and litter needs are met, and give each pet the level of attention and affection they’re comfortable with. Whether it’s a quick walk, a snuggle session, or a calm presence for a shy animal, I adapt to what each pet needs most.

“Lori is fantastic! After having my first sitter be a no show and me being miles away from my pups Lori came to the rescue! She was quick to respond, and absolutely amazing she went right over to check on my two babies. She sent photos and walked them played with them and went above and beyond to give my babies some love and me peace of mind. I will absolutely use Lori again when my fur babies can’t go!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10, I have two dogs since childhood. I make sure they go the bathroom outside regularly, if needed any medicine at the right time. And as well as getting enough exercise daily and water intake. Walking dogs is my passion for fitting in walks at least 2-3 times a day. And on the weekends up to 4-5 times a day. I have three cats of my own two childhood dogs that I take care of regularly. I own cat Clint has bladder issues so I have to make sure he has his medicine and food and stays hydrated.
“Erica was wonderful with our dogs! One of our dogs is very shy, and Erica was able to bring her out of her shell a bit to go on walks. She sent really thorough updates and gave one of the dogs eye drops with no problem as well. She was friendly and did an excellent job!”

Lawrence pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mary is really above and beyond! She takes detailed notes of her each visit and takes lots of nice photos. We felt super safe with her caring our dog and four guinea pigs. Our dog warmed up to her really fast and enjoyed her company. Our guinea pigs also came out of their shells and enjoyed playing around under her care. We highly recommend her.

Madison was excellent. She stepped up with very little notice to watch our two kitties while we focused on a family emergency. She went above and beyond what was required to help us out during a difficult time. I would definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone.

This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Brooke! She was kind, attentive, and made us feel completely at ease leaving Hermes. She clearly loves animals and took great care of our pup. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter!
