Allison was amazing! She stayed at our house with our two big dogs over the weekend while we were getting married. We had a lot going on, but she provided updates to ease our minds to know our boys were being cared for. When we got home, our house was cleaner than we left it. She is so great, and we would recommend her to anyone!

Kelli was wonderful!! We had her stay with our dog for a few nights when we were on vacation. Kelli came over prior to her stay to meet us and make sure we had all our questions asked. It was clear our dog really liked Kelli and she was always great with communication. We’ll be sure to book her again!!

Kylee is an exceptional dog sitter! She was incredibly patient and communicative, keeping us updated with lots of pictures. Even though our dog was a bit of a handful and rowdy during her visit, Kylee went above and beyond. She was honest and respectful throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Paul was a fantastic pet sitter for our family this past week while we were out of town. He gave our dog, cat, and fish more love and attention than they typically get with our busy schedules. Our dog has struggled with sleeping when being boarded and having her normal environment kept her very relaxed and happy. Paul sent photos everyday with updates to let us know their status. A small bonus was Paul kept an eye on the house and grabbed our mail and packages and kept them put of the weather. Paul was reliable and trustworthy. Will definitely be using him in the future!

About: Loving, Experienced Pet Sitter with 15+ Years of Trusted Care — In Your Home! Hi there! I’m Meg, the Cozy Companion Pet Sitter, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years—what started as helping out friends and family quickly turned into something I truly love. Now, I’m excited to expand my services here on Rover! I work from home full-time, which means I can offer a high level of care and attention throughout the day. Whether your dog(s) or cat(s) needs a companion while you’re away or a consistent routine to feel secure, I’m here to help. I’m available for in-home sitting so your pets can stay in the comfort of their own environment. I welcome pets of all breeds, ages, and medical backgrounds—including seniors and those requiring medication or special care. From energetic pups to laid-back seniors, I’ll tailor my care to match your pet’s personality and needs. Here’s what you can expect when your pet is in my care: • Lots of love, playtime, and snuggles • A structured daily routine with potty breaks, feeding, and exercise • Regular photo and text updates to keep you in the loop • Patience and understanding for nervous or special-needs pets • Last-minute and holiday availability when you need a backup plan I’m also happy to discuss additional requests like transportation to vet or grooming appointments or extended stays for vacations or work travel. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Let’s chat to see if I’m the right fit for you and your fur family. I’d love to meet you and your pets! I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. This allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules and give pets the comfort and companionship they need while you’re away. For the comfort and safety of your pets, I offer pet sitting exclusively within your home. I’m happy to care for pets in any type of home—fenced or not, apartment or house—as long as I have clear instructions on your pet’s routine and environment. Whether it’s leash protocols, feeding schedules, or special quirks, I’ll follow your guidelines closely to ensure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away.

Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.

About: I have had multiple dogs since I was 6 and taken care of all of them, neighbors' and families' animals actively for the last 4ish years! I would love to add a basic groom for an extra $10 added to any service you have scheduled. I have my own dog that I trained since he was a puppy, and he is now almost two. I also take care of a family's dog on a daily basis. I do not have a fenced-in yard, but I have a huge yard with long leashes. I also love to take our dog to the dog park. If you also have a pass, I would love that. My dog is mild to high energy and loves other dogs!

I couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care provided by Megan while I was away. Not only did she take wonderful care of my cats—making sure they were well-fed, loved, and happy—but she also kept an eye on my home, which gave me tremendous peace of mind! She followed all instructions perfectly, sent me regular updates (complete with adorable cat photos!), and was quick to communicate if anything seemed out of the ordinary. Coming home to relaxed, content pets and a well-kept home was such a relief. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely kind, I highly recommend Megan. I’ll absolutely be using her again for any future trips!
