“Maria was over the top amazing with my dog Brooke. After many attempts to find a pet sitter through our neighbors we decyto try River for the first time. Maria was the first to pop up near our home and was the perfect match! She even said she notice we were a bit in need and was gracious enough to try us for the first time. Maria came early for our first meet up, asked the right questions and is an absolute delight! She sent us pictures and positive feedback through the care process. Unfortunately, we were supposed to go camping for the entire weekend but due to lots of rain we had to cut the weekend short and I felt kind of bad but she was incredibly kind and understanding and helped me through the entire process seamlessly. I can’t thank her enough and am looking forward to our next visits with her and feel relieved to finally have a loving and caring responsible and professional pet sitter for Brooke. Maria is practically perfect in every way”

About: I've been a pet parent of cats, dogs, fish & more since I was a child. I believe pets are family and will treat yours with the utmost love, care and respect. I have experience with pets of all ages and stages of life. I work a weekday fulltime job with earlier hours and some flexibility with working from home. I'm an early riser that can get to your pet prior to work, but occasionally fit in a midday visit, I'm available mid to late afternoon and evenings and weekends Communication is key as every pet is different and their needs vary. I like to do a meet and greet prior to providing service to ensure that we are on the same page and that all of your pets needs are met to your satisfaction.

“This is the second time I have booked Kat to visit my kitties and both times she sent me a summary of the visit and their behaviors towards her (unsure at first but gererally warming up to her with every visit) along with some great photos. She is very responsive to messages and follows instructions well. If you book with Kat, rest assured that your pet will be in good hands!”

“Glenn and Diana were the best sitters ever! We have a very hyper, young lab who does not like to be left alone. We have never used a professional pet sitting service before and Glenn and Diana provided us with not only did they provide excellent pet care, but they were extremely flexible with several last minute schedule changes. They also helped us navigate the Rover app to help correct errors on our part as well as giving our dog some short training sessions with sit, down, and stay while they were spending time with her. Glenn and Diana played a lot of fetch with the dog and gave our cat tons of attention too. Great sitters who really put us at ease! We highly recommend them and Rover!”

About: Hi, my name is Leydi! I’ve loved dogs and cats my whole life and have been around them since I was little. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends. I’ve always dreamed of working with animals because I truly enjoy being around them and making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I love seeing dogs go on walks, play, and just enjoy their day, and I feel the same way about cats and their unique personalities. Rover feels like a perfect fit for me because I get to do something I genuinely love. I’m very patient, responsible, caring, and attentive, and I would love the chance to meet and take care of your furry friend :) I’m super responsible and committed. I can definitely accommodate your needs with a little bit of advance notice. Having my own dog, I know how much time they need, so I dedicate pretty much all of my free time to her and I'd love to do the same for your pup! I live in an apartment complex surrounded by lots of nature! We have a dedicated area in the back with both a fenced dog park and a big open one. I have a small dog named Lola who is super friendly and loves playing with dogs and cats. While I prefer watching your pup at your place, I’m happy to host for doggy daycare!

“My cats tend to ignore me for a day or two after a trip because they’re frustrated that I left in the first place. But I came home this time to two happy, cuddly cats and I know that’s because Jillian took great care of them. She was also super responsive and kind during our communication about the visits as well. We will definitely book with her again!”

About: As a pet owner myself, I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level. I’m experienced with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, brushing, playtime, and giving cats/dogs the space or attention they prefer. I love spending time with dogs and have experience caring for my friends’ dogs. I regularly play and interact with dogs, and I understand that every dog has its own personality, energy level, and needs. Whether they enjoy active playtime, relaxing walks, or just some extra attention, I always make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and safe. I work a regular full-time schedule, but I have availability outside of work and on weekends. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, and any special needs. I keep doors, gates, food, and surroundings secure and always respect your home.

“Amy did a wonderful job with our shy boy. She went nice and slow to make him as comfortable as possible. She was extremely thorough making sure he got everything he needed and then some. She walked him, fed him, gave him his medicine and then walked him again. She sent lots of pictures and a very detailed description of her visit which I greatly appreciate. I would feel comfortable watching him any time.”

“Kaeleigh is excellent! All the cats loved her and even my extremely anxious cat allowed herself to be seen more than once (with assistance from Feliway I set up beforehand). We have a very complicated routine for our cats but she had no trouble at all. It was a huge relief to know someone reliable and experienced was checking up on our cats while we were away. Would book again :)”

Katie is a fantastic cat sitter. She shows up on time and provides exceptional care. My cat is usually skittish around new people, but Katie's calm energy put my kitty at ease. You can tell Katie is a cat person through and through! Would highly recommend booking her services.

Julie was a fantastic pet sitter! She came to take care of our demanding but sweet French bulldog and our two senior cats for a couple of hours. When we got home, the whole fur tribe seemed very content. She communicated with us throughout her visit and was so warm and friendly with our pets when we first met her at the meet and greet. We would definitely recommend Julie!

I was honestly in a panic when I messaged Christine last minute because the sitter I had booked months in advance suddenly couldn’t watch my dogs anymore. Christine responded so quickly and completely saved the day! She truly is a star and took such great care of my babies. I didn’t even have time to do a meet and greet beforehand, and I still felt completely comfortable with her. She was amazing from start to finish. Thank you so, so much for saving me and my dogs! ❤️ I would absolutely book with her again!
