“Jen was phenomenal! She cared for Dexter like he was her own, she was punctual, sent lots of pictures and followed care instructions well. Should I need care in the future, she is someone I have come to trust both in my home and with my best friend.”
“Melinda is the BEST pet caretaker I’ve ever had on Rover! She shows up perfectly on time, super communicator and went above and beyond her visits. All the pictures and video were so great; my Cora loved her!”
“Ann was willing to learn how to administer insulin to my diabetic cat which was above and beyond! She was also great at communicating and clearly an animal lover. Thanks again for taking care of our cats!”
“Thank you again to Sarah for a wonderful sitter experience! Was sad to leave my cat at home during the holidays, but was happy to have Sarah keep her company and give her lots of love :)”
“Annmarie was super responsive and able to help us last minute with some drop in visits during a day we had to work. She hung outside with our old man so that he could enjoy some sun. We are very thankful for her care!”
“Maggie went above and beyond - including braving a winter snowstorm - to make sure our cat was well cared for while we were out of town. Couldn’t recommend more highly!”
“Yvonne’s a great pet sitter. She is super responsive and goes the extra mile with my cat. My cat has asthma and required a daily inhaler dose. Yvonne was kind and patient to provide my cat with her daily inhaler. When my auto feeder failed, she stayed back to help to reset it so my cat didn’t starve. She also provided me with daily update. When I came home, my cat was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend her because she truly cares about pets! I would totally rebook her.”
“Tara is such a wonderful catsitter! It's clear it's not just a gig for her but she truly cares about the pets. Our kitties are extremely shy but one of them became buddies with her (yay!). She took fantastic care of our cats and was also great with updates and communications. We will definitely hire her again in the future and we highly recommend her to anyone seeking catsitter!”
“Catherine was excellent! She was very prompt for her check in visits and was a great communicator. I always knew what my dog was up to during their time together. Cobi was definitely well taken care of while I was gone at work.”
About: I have cared for senior dogs and grew up with cats all my life. I believe that pets are family and I will love them as such I have changed my work schedule and I do now currently work more at my day job. I will be available for pet care for weekends. I do make it work for after work care. Must be after 530pm to about 11pm for care. Willing to talk about a schedule that will work for both of us. I want to make sure I am respectful of the owners as well as the pets. So I will make sure to do whatever feels comfortable for all of us.
“Emily was wonderful! She was incredibly communicative, flexible, and kind to my kitties. With each visit, she sent wonderful updates and silly photos and went above and beyond to make them comfortable.”
“Seanna is reliable, a good communicator, and great with my cats. She leaves great detailed rover cards about her stays with my cats and takes a lot of great pictures. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Robert was great with my shy and nervous corgi. He is very chill and my dog warmed up to him very quickly. Very much appreciated the home visit.”
“Brenda was great! Despite the short notice she was able to look over Marshall and provide plenty of pics and updates. I would highly recommend Brenda for anyone looking for pet care in the area.”
About: I am entirely committed to your pets comfortability and happiness. Whether your dog runs a million miles an hour and needs some good mental stimulation, or is more shy and just wants some gentle love, I’m here for all of it! I have had experience with everything from puppy training to caring for senior pups, and can handle all dog energy levels. I also have experience with dogs that aren’t comfortable around other dogs/aren’t dog friendly. Whatever you and your pup needs, I can be there! I have pretty open availability to be there for you and your pups needs! Earlier in the day is best for me but I can be flexible! I’m here to ensure that your dog is safe in whatever environment they’re in. I’ve had my puppy’s while living both in an apartment and in a house with a fenced back yard. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and am very experienced with leashes and how comfortable dogs are (or aren’t) on their walks with a leash.
“Claire did a great job with check-ins on my dogs this week. She was timely, communicated well, and did a good job wearing the dogs out. I’d trust her to watch them anytime!”
“Dustin did a great job taking care of our two dogs, and was super accommodating and responsive. Our dogs can be a handful, and we felt very comfortable that they were well cared for - highly recommend!”
“This is the first time I’ve used Rover but, based upon my experience with Alex, it won’t be my last! I was a little concerned about having a “stranger” in my home, but after having met and worked with Alex those fears have been laid to rest.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Jennifer was fabulous ❤️ Her updates and photos she provided each day brought me total peace of mind! My cat got into something she shouldn't have and Jennifer let me know right away and kept me updated about the situation as the days progressed. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
