Bradley did a great job following the instructions during the visits with detail. I was impressed with how he handled my dog being over 100 pounds by establishing himself as a friendly presence before interactions. Highly recommend this young man for future opportunities.

Sara is a lovely young lady who has a wonderful rapport with our dog. He loved her from the moment they met. She is very responsible and we trust her with our fur baby.

Merissa and Nick are the best pet sitters I have ever had, because they care and go above and beyond!! Besides the very helpful daily updates on my cat’s food, drink, litter box usage and general behavior, they sent me some of the greatest photos and videos of Hodge, many showing them playing with my very social fur baby. When I returned home after a 10-day trip, the house was immaculate and my mail and newspapers were neatly piled up on the kitchen counter. I knew that with Merissa and Nick my cat was getting the best care possible and was very happy, which gave me complete peace of mind to enjoy my vacation.

About: I have great experience with all types of animals in all ranges of age and necessities. I have worked at a barn as well as volunteer at my local animal shelter. I also grew up fostering puppies and kittens as young as days old. I have multiple pets of my own and they are my whole world, I treat any animal with the same level of respect. I work part time but my schedule is very flexible with an enough time in advance. I am free pretty much all day on weekends and most consistently after 3 on weekdays. However my schedule does shift and I am an early riser so I can make most other times work. I currently do not offer home services in my personal house. At a clients home I will listen to whatever instructions are given and keep everything as similar as possible for overnight and drop-in visits to help keep stress levels down for your animal.

Heather is truly amazing, she gave my anxious pup time to warm up to her and eventually he had no choice but to love her! Her updates are excellent, personable and funny, I knew my pup was being well cared for and loved while I was away- she really went above and beyond 💕

I would highly recommend Debra to anyone. She has cared for our 5 cats many times over the past 2.5 years. We are so grateful that Debra always goes above and beyond. Excellent communication and attention to detail, including pictures with every visit. We have never had anything less than a 5/5 experience.

About: I have been dog sitting dogs since I was a teenager. I have experience with many different breeds both big and small. Since I don’t have any pets of my own right now I love being able to go meet new furry friends and play with them I have a pretty flexible work schedule. I can make my own schedule based off of the needs clients may have. Depending on when your pets need care I can adjust my schedule accordingly It is my pleasure to keep your pets company while you are away. I am happy to help out with whatever is needed. I am reliable and will keep your pets company while you are away.

Ashley’s drop-in service was great! We set up a meet-and-greet ahead of time to introduce her to our dog, and for a nervous guy with a lot of quirks, he warmed to her instantly which put us at immediate ease. She provided updates on her arrival and departure times, a full report on his bathroom break, sent pics during her visit, and she is so accommodating to our ever-changing schedule. Will definitely be utilizing her for recurring visits!

Katharine was great! She was very communicative throughout the entire time. It was my first time using rover and she made it very easy. If I ever need to use rover again, I will definitely be using Katharine again. She is very kind and detail oriented. I cannot say enough about how great she is.

I had a wonderful experience with Stacie and would highly recommend her! Great attention to detail, awesome communication, and so caring with my kitties. There was an unexpected hiccup during the reservation (not Stacie’s fault) that she handled so well, which I very much appreciated. She really went above and beyond to make sure my kitties were cared for!

You couldn’t ask for a more dedicated person than Stephanie to watch your beloved pet. I was away for 10 days and faithfully. Stephanie came every day and took excellent care of my cat Pandora. I highly recommend her. You will never regret choosing Stephanie.
