“Carrie was great! Our little opinionated chihuahua absolutely loved her, and Carrie spent extra time with him going above and beyond. We will be sure to book her again if we go out of town and can’t bring our dog.”


“Amazing sitter! Her performance was above and beyond!! Her communication was exceptional with lots of pictures and updates. Respected our property as if it was her own home. Very trustworthy. Will definitely use Katie again. She represented Rover very well.”


“Kalie was wonderful with my high-energy, quirky & sometimes anxious pup! Capone was well cared for (fed, watered, played with & loved) and I came home to a happy boy after my trip. Kalie was on time for all appointments and spent the entire time I asked for with Capone. I enjoyed the photos she shared with me, and I would recommend her highly to care for your furry family members!”


“Madison took such excellent care of our kitty while we were gone. She is extremely communicative and flexible and followed the instructions we left behind. She also kindly adjusted her schedule when we needed an extra week of care. Our cat took to her immediately and got the TLC she needed. If you are looking for a responsible sitter, Madison is the way to go!”


“HIGHLY recommend Jemma! She was absolutely amazing! Our pup automatically fell in love with her when she came for our initial meet and greet. Jemma was extremely prompt and thorough with her visits and sent pictures. She loved our pup as if he were her own which made my heart so happy! Our pup is a senior and Jemma did great with him! She even loved on our cat when she came to visit which was greatly appreciated. I would definitely use Jemma’s services again and I would also highly recommend her.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs the majority of my life. When I didn’t have my own, I was always volunteering to take care of my friends dogs. This was good for me while I was going to school and moving around. After separating from the Air Force, I have been blessed to have two of my own fur babies. I’m able take care of your pets before and after I go to my full time job. If you want me to take care of your pets over night, we would need to make sure they get along with my dogs. I would take care of your pets as if they where my own. I take mine on a walk three times a day. Since I don’t have a yard, I’m constantly taking my Great Pyrenees/Lab hiking 2 to 3 times a week. He is also a picky eater, so I’ve had to get creative with his food. My pets are always on a leash when I take them out.

“It’s maybe the sixth time i book with Skylar. She’s super reliable and my cat loves her. I travel a lot and she does a great job every time. She also takes adorable pictures every visit 😍”


About: I've worked in veterinary medicine for years and am currently pursuing my dream of becoming a veterinarian! Alongside my professional experience, I’ve pet sat for over a decade, caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I am new to Rover, but not to pet sitting and animal care! I’ve also worked at animal shelters, dog daycares, and on farms! Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, administer medications, bathe, and comfort their pets. I’m confident with senior care, behavioral needs, and even exotic pets thanks to my clinical background. Your pet's well-being is always my top priority! I am RECOVER BLS certified (CPR for cats and dogs), and graduated with a bachelors degree in veterinary technology. I work full-time as a Registered Veterinary Technician in a veterinary hospital, but only four days a week, giving me flexibility for pet care. On workdays, I can either bring your pet with me (if appropriate and approved) or stop by during my lunch break for a walk, potty break, or check-in. I'm reliable, communicative, and happy to accommodate your pet’s needs around my schedule. When I’m not working, I am always home. When pet sitting, your pet is my top priority. My own dog is quite lazy, so I’m always excited to walk dogs who enjoy walks!! I provide pet care in my own home, which has three bedrooms, a yard (currently putting a fence in), and plenty of space for your pet to feel safe and relaxed. My fence will be completed at the end of August! I live by myself with a friendly dog and a cat, both well-socialized and used to guests. I can crate or separate pets as needed to ensure everyone’s comfort. If you would like your pet to be crated, please bring one! With my veterinary background, I’m trained to monitor health, administer medications, and create a low-stress, loving environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I currently pet sit for multiple veterinarians who trust me to keep their pets safe. If you would like me to stop by your home for a check-in or pick your pup up for a walk, know that I am trustworthy and will treat your home and pet with the utmost care!

Malori A.
“I have two pit bulls and they are my world so I would never dream of leaving them with anyone and if I had to go anywhere I would leave them with my adult children. They have since moved away and Malori came highly recommended so I gave her a try. I was not disappointed. She was very patient with my husband and I and we would call constantly at first to check on our babies. They are old and so we worry. Malori not only took the time to stay with them and walk them but when we return the dogs miss her. I am so thankful to have someone that understands how important my babies are to our family.”
