“Tess was amazingly helpful with my dog, Boston!! He is a big dog with a lot of energy and I always worry that he might be a lot to handle for anyone coming over, and this was my first experience using Rover. Everything went seamlessly and I couldn’t recommend Tess enough!!”
“Anna was great. She was very responsive from the start. I consider myself a obsessive dog owner. I worry about every little thing. Anna did a wonderful job of making me feel at ease while I was out of town. She was great with my dog Bailey. From the first time we met she had a calming influence on her. During the time I was away, Anna kept me updated on how the overnight visits were going. When I came back, she left a detailed note letting me know how Bailey did. Also, Bailey was very calm and relaxed when I arrived back into town. Anna also made some homemade treats for Bailey. I highly recommend Anna.”
“Lawrence took great care of our dog and house while we were away— would definitely recommend him! Our dog is often anxious around new people but she liked him pretty much immediately.”
“This is the second time Asia has watched our dog for an extended period of time! She did a great job taking care of our dog and keeping an eye on our house! She’s on time and detailed in her communication! Thanks Asia!”
“Ashley did an amazing job. Tons of photos and updates of our cat and puppy. She also cleaned our home(kitchen and floors) which was SUCH a treat to come home to after travel! She was amazing!”

“Julia is the best! This was our second time booking her and she hasn’t disappointed. We got lots of pupdates and they were very happy when we got home.”
About: Hi all! I’m Jen. I teach preschool and kindergarten in the mornings, and in the afternoon/evenings I enjoy spending my time working with animals. I have many years of experience petsitting and housesitting, as well as doing drop-in visits for cats and walks for dogs. I currently have one cat of my own, but I’ve had dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and chinchillas in the past. Please reach out to me with any questions! I look forward to caring for your animals. I am available for overnight care in your home, as well as drop-in visits or walks in the afternoons and evenings. I do not offer boarding or care in my home at this time. I have years of experience working with clients in their homes through babysitting and petsitting. I will treat your pets wonderfully and your house with respect.
“I was super hesitant to have a sitter in house for my pup because I was scared of my house being a wreck when I came back. Thankfully, this fear did not come true with Mary as a sitter. They were clean and kept my apartment how I left it… if not better. They sent me quite a few update pictures of my pup, and just regular updates in general. They also made sure my pup was okay with plenty of water in the time it was going to take me to get home after they left. Your pup will be in good hands with Mary!”
“Allison was our first cat sitter to also stay in our home, and we are so happy we found her! From the moment we submitted our request in Rover, Allison was terrific in her communication and warmth. She immediately offered to come meet us before we completed our booking, and this gave me comfort given I’ve never had a house sitter before. Our cat really needs human interaction and love, and Allison definitely provided that and more. We returned home to a very happy boy and a very organized place - maybe more organized than when we left! We will definitely book Allison again for our next trip.”
About: I have spent time around dogs, big and small, my whole life! I am particularly well-versed in big dogs over 100 pounds as I have been taking care of two Saint Bernards for the last few years. Also, I am comfortable with all levels of training! I am currently working a part-time job in the evenings on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. During the week, I am free until 3pm, and I am very flexible on the weekends! Although I do not offer in-home services, I will always treat your pets and home as if it were my own! I pride myself in filled water bowls and happy animals! I will help keep you animals safe and your home clean!
“Jared was great. He is fantastic with the dogs and kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and updates daily. We would 100% recommend him to take care of our animals and house.”
“Kartik was responsive and provided plenty of updates throughout his stay. My pets were well taken care of and the house was perfectly kept while I was gone. Would definitely recommend!”
“Catelyn was fantastic with my Cali girl! She was excellent in making sure all of her needs were met. Cali is a GSD that gets very anxious and reactive. Catelyn sent me lots of pupdates of how Cali was doing as well as pictures and videos 😊 I’m very particular about who Cali is with as we have worked so hard to build her confidence and reduce her anxiety and reactivity, and I would rebook Catelyn in a heartbeat! I came home to a very happy pup! Thank you Catelyn !!”
About: I have worked with animals since I was in middle school. I enjoy being around animals and I want the best for them. I am certified and very good at what I do. I am currently working part time and also homeschooling my children so I will have ample time to care for your companion. I am available everyday after 3pm but sometimes I have morning's open as well. Communication is key with me so we can work something out so everyone is happy. I have learned fear free tactics that can help with introductions and getting comfortable. I can easily crate if needed and will calm down any stressful environment.
