Kamryn was a fantastic sitter- she was so communicative and shared plenty of updates and pictures of our two fluffy babies while we were traveling. I can’t say enough how grateful I am that she stayed with the pets continuously during the day, so that they had someone present the vast majority of the time we were away.

About: When I was little, my family had a small chihuahua. For the past 5 years, I’ve had a yellow labrador retriever named Hazel who is very energetic and playful. She’s my best friend! I’ve done house drop ins for friends and family for both dogs and cats to check in and take care of them. 💗 I currently work as a part-time before/aftercare teacher at a couple different elementary schools. I work Monday-Friday but have availability from 9:30am-2:30pm and after 6 pm. My weekends are free! I help my family feed our dog and provide her with water. I also take her on walks, to the park or play fetch in our backyard which has a good amount of running space for her. She’s a cuddler when she’s tired so we snuggle on the couch or play tug of war inside 😊

About: Hello fellow animal lovers my name is Nikki. I am a self employed children's chess instructor who has spent years managing programs and caring for children and animals. I bring a high level of professionalism, responsibility, and attention to every pet I care for. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision. My goal is to make that process as easy as possible for both you and your beloved pet. I am highly attentive to each pets individual needs, whether that means maintaining a structured routine or providing extra reassurance. Spoiling your pet is guaranteed. I don't take a one size fits all approach. Each pet receives individual care based on their personality, energy level, and routine. They deserve it! With me you will receive: *Clear and consistent communication from start to finish. *Multiple updates with photos and videos so you always know how your sweetheart is doing. *Respect for your home, your time, and your pets needs. I am obsessive about keeping your home clean and staying only in the areas designated for your pets care. *Someone who will love and care for your pet as much as you do. I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. My love of other peoples pets prompted them to begin to ask me to start dog and cat-sitting. People who are very wary of strangers in their homes have trusted me and were able to take a much needed vacation. I am so happy to be able to fufill this role. Please read the testimonials for more details about the individual pets I have cared for over the years. I am new to Rover, however I have been doing this for a very long time. I only take a limited amount of clients so can can provide the high level of care and attention your pet deserves. If you are looking for a trusted, dependable sitter I am confident you will be happy with the care I provide. Please contact me if you would like to schedule a meet and greet. I have a very flexible schedule (afternoons and evenings are ideal) Since I do not work a 9-5 I am confident we can arrange the time you need sitting. I am only a drop in and stay over sitter. I will leave your home exactly as it was and spoil your dog or cat. You will receive updates via text, email, facetime. Just let me know what your need!

About: I have extensive experience at an animal shelter, where I was tasked with walking and helping train dogs of all different sizes and behavioral patterns. I have also done overnight stays with dogs, ensuring these fur babies are being taken care of while their owners are away! I am currently working a part time library job about four days out of the week and am looking to make time for dog walking/sitting in between those days! Caring for pets in my client’s home means slowly introducing myself to their space so they know I can be welcomed and trusted in their environment! This means acclimating myself to their space and following their behaviors based on boundaries.

Matt was excellent. He took great care of my two big dogs. He was so responsive and sent us pictures throughout the time he was pet sitting. My dogs loved him and it gave us so much comfort that they were safe at home in their own environment. I would recommend Matt to anyone who needs someone caring and responsible.

About: With over six years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve worked for three pet sitting companies, the MCSPCA, and at the same kennel twice. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and countless other animals—big and small—with love, patience, and reliability. Growing up surrounded by animals shaped my deep passion for their well-being, and I’m committed to treating every pet like family. 💞🐾 Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, as I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule. That means I have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to your pet. I'm available for dog walking and drop-in visits during the week and weekends, and I’m happy to help with holiday or last-minute bookings. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely love, so this never feels like “work” to me—it’s something I look forward to every day!! :) I grew up with dogs and have been surrounded by animals for most of my life, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. While I don’t offer in-home boarding, I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I always follow instructions carefully, prioritize safety, and strive to make every visit calm, fun, and stress-free. Whether it’s a big, energetic pup or a shy senior cat, I have experience with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities ♥︎

Bethany and Jason were absolutely wonderful and took such thoughtful care of our Woody while we were away for a week. They communicated clearly and consistently, and very quickly picked up on our boy’s sensitivities and quirks, which made us feel so at ease knowing he was in such attentive hands. Despite the frigid cold during their stay, they made sure Woody was bundled up in his doggy puffer and still got plenty of exercise and fresh air. It was clear they genuinely cared about his comfort and well-being. We can already tell Woody has formed a strong bond with them, and that means everything to us. We’re so happy to continue working with Bethany and Jason for weekly walks and future stays, and would recommend them wholeheartedly.

Marcie was very professional and attentive to details we set up for her in-house stay with our two dogs over the holidays. She graciously met with us twice before the stay to meet us & the pups, and to go over the details. We were very happy with the care she gave to our dogs, and made us feel comfortable and confident things would be under control while we were out of town. She sent us pix, which helped ease our missing of the dogs, and she gave us little tidbits about their day. We would highly recommend Marcie for any of your Rover needs, and we hope she will return again for our next getaway!
