“Katie was awesome..she communicated well, punctual, flexible when we had to add a last min drop in and extra days...and most importantly, she loved on our girls as if they were her own. They were excited to see her everyday! Thanks again- will continue to use Katie in the future!”


“Jeweliana was thorough, communicative, and kind throughout our booking with her. She was willing to accommodate adjustments, and asked questions that showed she was deeply paying attention to our cats and their welfare. I could not have asked for someone better to watch our kitties for us, and would definitely book with her again.”


“Jada did amazingly! We were gone for a few days and got back early. She was very accommodating and great with our cat. She kept us informed the entire time which was great.”


“Mandy was so great! We loved the pic updates. It was our first time using rover and the updates gave us reassurance that our fur babies were in good hands and being taken care of. We were so grateful tht she was able to extend our booking and allow us to enjoy a couple more days on a much needed vacation ! Would def recommend and rebook in the future. Thanks again Mandy !”

About: I have cared for many animals over the past 18 years while managing a pet resort. I have also walked dogs during my lunch hour. I recently retired after 18 years in veterinary medicine and managing pet resort. I have always loved animals and have 6 dogs of my own. I have a 6 foot fenced yard and have 6 dogs of my own. My dogs are dog friendly and go to daycare often and play.

“Meghan was great! She came to meet my kitties before hand which made me feel much more comfortable leaving them at home. Received daily pictures and update and knew they were in great hands!”


About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.

About: Hi friends! First let me say, thank you for considering me as a potential caretaker for your fur babies. I take my job very seriously with heart and compassion. I have had a life surrounded by pets ever since I can remember. I have trained German Shepards with my uncle, done volunteer work with kittens and care for three disabled pets of my own currently. I also work at the humane society with many animals in need. At home and work, I am relied on for bathing, feeding, walking, medication and more. I have experience with all ages and temperaments of animals. Thank you for taking the time to review my profile, I hope your needs are perfectly met! My schedule does vary but I am mostly available early mornings and late afternoons however I always keep my calendar updated for so you can get the most accurate bookings. I genuinely care for your pets comfort and believe in treating them with true respect. I am extremely patient and fantastic at deescalating tough situations. I am able to administer medications and crate dogs when needed.

“I am thrilled to have found Shira! She is a lovely person and my cats warmed up to her immediately. Even my elderly, former feral cat loved her.

It is clear that Shira loves animals and I feel so at peace knowing that I have someone trustworthy to watch my babies in the future.”
