“Katrina took care of my boys very well and gave us timely updates and took great pictures of them. She’s polite and professional and we would definitely hire her again.”

“Tyler T. has been a Godsend to us this week. My wife had to go into the hospital for surgery, and his quality care, kindness, and professionalism in his care for our two dogs was a great comfort. She back home and healing, and the dogs and the house are happy and well in order. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”

About: From a young age, I have always had a deep love and appreciation for animals. Throughout my life, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including bunnies, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, dogs, and cats. Being around animals brings me genuine joy and fulfillment. As a dedicated pet parent myself, I understand the importance of providing attentive, compassionate care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness at all times. Whether administering medication, maintaining feeding schedules, or offering extra affection, I’m committed to meeting each pet’s individual needs. My experience includes walking dogs, providing personalized attention, engaging in playtime, feeding, and offering companionship to help pets feel secure and loved while their families are away. As a stay-at-home pet mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the dedicated time, care, and attention they deserve each day. I live in an apartment, so I don’t offer pet sitting in my own home, but I’m more than happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I believe animals feel most secure in their familiar space, and I always do my best to make sure they feel loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Jennifer was so kind and caring. She was dependable and communicated in a reliable and consistent manner. Her love for animals is apparent Our furry family looks forward to seeing her again!”
“This is the 3rd time we've booked Emily and she has been great. She went above and beyond during this booking as our cat got sick while we were gone. Emily took him to the vet twice. She communicated with us very well and kept us updated on the cat's condition. That was a challenge as we were out of the country. I will definitely book Emily again (if she'll have us). The cat is fine, BTW.”

“Kira was awesome! She was great at answering questions, always on time, recorded all activities and took great pictures! She completely put our minds at ease while we were on vacation!”


“Katie was amazing! She visited three times a day, walked my dog each time, made sure she was well-fed, and even administered her medication perfectly. I came home to a happy, healthy pup and couldn’t be more grateful. Katie is reliable, caring, and clearly loves what she does. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook her again!”


“Karla took care of our furry family over the holidays. She was quick and easy to communicate with the whole time and went above and beyond for us when our plans had to change had to quickly schedule her for additional drop ins. She was punctual every time, including Christmas Eve and Day when the snow storm came through and even climbed 12 flights of stairs when our elevators were down. Her experience and comfort with cats were apparent immediately and confirmed when even our shyest cat found her lap by the end of our booking. Absolutely will book her for any of our future cat needs.”

“We would definitely recommend Felicity and book her again! She responded fast, was flexible, and took great care of our dog. We loved the updates/pictures she would send us after each visit!”

About: I have grown up caring for and loving animals my entire life! I believe they have helped shape who I am and encourage me to work with all types of animals, big or small, energetic or timid, and even "difficult" pets. I have helped raise puppies and kittens, but currently my pets have aged like fine wine and have entered their elderly era. My experience consists of owning pets myself, pet sitting for friends and family, and soon I will be volunteering at a local shelter. I also plan on majoring in Animal Sciences in the future. I currently work a part-time job and we are in our slow season. I am available for last minute visits and walks and would in fact be delighted to spend my time with your pets. I have a keen eye for detail when it comes to potential hazards and make it a point to ensure accidents are minimalized. Whether it's tidying up to ensure your pet has space for their zoomies or regular potty breaks and mealtimes, I ensure they are looked out for and taken care of as if they were my own.

About: I’ve grown up in a house full of dogs and still spend a lot of time caring for them today, including German Shepherds, so I’m comfortable handling larger, high-energy breeds. My family jokes that I’m the “dog whisperer” because animals tend to warm up to me quickly. I’ve helped care for both my own dogs and others whenever needed, and I truly love being around animals. I’m currently an online college student, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give pets lots of attention and care. I’m currently doing online college, so my schedule is very flexible and gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and spending quality time with your pets to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I currently live in a spacious apartment with plenty of walking areas nearby for exercise and potty breaks. I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and cared for in a calm and safe environment. I’ll follow any routines or instructions closely so your pet feels as at home as possible while you’re away. 🐾
“Theresa was a fantastic cat sitter for our new cat. She was very communicative for the entire stay and it was clear that our cat was being taken care of and given the attention she needed. Our usually shy cat quickly warmed up to her which made gave us more peace of mind. We will definitely be using Theresa again.”

“Elizabeth was great with all of our kitties. Loved the photos we received while we were gone. She was even able to get a photo of our kitty that hides from everyone. Would definitely recommend!”

“This was our first time using Rover and the first time our pets were going to be cared for my someone other than family so I was very nervous. Amber did an excellent job explaining Rover's policies and procedures. She made my fur babies feel so loved during the meet and greet and calmed my anxiousness. Our pets were very well cared for during their drop in visits and we will definitely book again!”

“This is our third time booking Shyanne and we’ve been thoroughly satisfied each time! She’s responsive to all our communications and provides great updates with photos. We’ll continue to book her in the future!”

“Colleen was great with our two dogs, Brodie and Sara. She came over prior to the trip and met both dogs and reviewed our wishes in detail. She was prompt each day and we received a report on each visit to include a picture of both dogs. When we arrived home Brodie and Sara were happy and playful unlike when we pick them up from the kennel and they look emotionally and physically beat down. We will be using Rover and Colleen for our future needs.”

Tyler goes above and beyond and really helped my pup when I left for a long business trip after a recent move. My dog was having a hard time adjusting and me leaving didn’t help. Tyler was patient with him and got him to cheer back up to his normal self. It really eased my worry! Highly recommend! Very kind and professional.
