Shannon took great care of our fur babies while we were away. Litter box was cleared and furballs picked up! Kitties were very happy to have her visits and give pets! Would absolutely use her service again! Great communication 👍🏽

We are so grateful for the amazing care our pet received! From the very beginning, it was clear how kind, responsible, and attentive you are. You went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and it gave us such peace of mind while we were at work! Our pet was happy, comfortable, and clearly well-loved when we returned. We truly appreciate the updates, communication, and extra care you put into everything. It means so much to know we have someone we can trust completely. Thank you again for your dedication and care—we would absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter and will book you again in the future!

This is the second time we have booked Jennifer, this time for several drop in visit this week. I really appreciate her communication and the care she gives to my dog. She even stayed extra on 1 occasion to make sure my pup poo’d, and on another to make sure she drank enough water on a hot day. I highly recommend Jennifer!

About: My love affair with animals started at 8 years old. Fast forward 30 years and my passion for animals has only grown. I have 3 fur babies of my own and plan on adding more some day :-) I’m a stay at home mom with loads of flexibility to take care of your fur babies. I’m available almost every day of the week and often all day. I have a fenced in home where pups can roam freely. Pups are a part of our family so their happiness and safety are always important to us.

Emily is awesome and I can tell from the photos that my nervous pup is super comfortable with her. There have been several times when she has been able to take care of Homer on short notice and she has been reliable and trustworthy.

Grace went above and beyond - The lock number had been changed for our front door, and she stayed hours to make sure she got in to take care of our pups! She was cool calm and collected when faced with an emergency, would 10/10 recommend her to anyone looking for care.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly understand how much pets are family. I currently own both a dog and cat and have experience helping foster dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable with routines, medication schedules, high-energy pets, and giving nervous animals extra patience and care. I am currently working as a full time RN but available for morning (before 8:30am) pet care, evening care (after 5:30pm), and flexible times on weekends. Happy to assist with overnight care with frequent drop ins but typically unable to stay overnight as I have fur babies of my own at home waiting for me :) As both a lifelong pet owner and healthcare professional, I value safety, trust, and consistency. I currently provide pet care exclusively in clients’ homes so pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routines. I aim to create a calm, dependable experience with close attention to detail, reliable communication, and lots of care for every pet as if they were my own.

I am so so happy we found Kristen on Rover! This was our first trip traveling without our pup, and after meeting Kristen, we felt so confident that our pets would be well loved and attended to. She gave prompt updates after her visits with our pup "smiling" in every picture- clearly having a blast! We were so impressed she packed so much into a half hour- walks, fetch, food and potty break. She also went above and beyond caring for our cranky elderly cat. Its a relief to have someone we trust locally to care for our pets as we would, giving us peace of mind to travel. We will 100% be working with Kristen again and highly recommend her!

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 12. I love every animal for their unique personality and quirks. I have had several clients over the past 10 years that came to me by word of mouth. I have had dogs from puppies to seniors. I do have a full time job but I work remotely most days. I am flexible so I can be there when they need me. All I need is WiFi. If I watch them in my home, we will meet ahead so I can assess how your dog will do with my dogs and cats. I have a fully fenced in yard in a safe neighborhood. If I watch them in your home I come by for a meet and greet.
