“Elizabeth was so kind! I had to make a last minute work trip and she was able to help me out and check in on my kitten a couple of times. She took lots of pictures (including some of my all time favorites) and made me feel so much better ab leaving my baby alone! She’s amazing and definitely someone I will be coming back to if needed :)”
“My first time using Rover. Julie made me very comfortable leaving my dogs sending pictures during her visits. She had good rapport with them during her meet & they “posed” well for pictures while I was gone so that rapport obviously continued.”
“Ashley has cared for my sweet Maggie several times in the last 2 months and she is so patient and sweet with my rambunctious pup! She interacts well and gives my puppy good mental activities! Ashley is always timely and gives the sweetest little summaries of her visit and lots of pictures!”
“This is our first time leaving Izzy, a PomChi, at home by herself for a 3X a day visits and we were, of course, very nervous about it. Amanda was careful with Izzy during the meet and greet and carefully introduced herself with her instead of trying to be so friendly right away. We informed Amanda that there will be a camera focused on her beddings by the front door and she made sure that she sat by the camera so we can see her giving Izzy love and petting. Amanda is timely and followed all the details that we discussed about Izzy’s care. By the 2nd day, we can see Izzy’s happy dance when she arrives. I like the detailed notes of her visits including cute pics. We were very satisfied on how well she took care of our pup and we will definitely reach out again when we go on another trip!”
“Lydia was awesome, she cared for our senior dog Bella. She sent detailed communication about her drop in with Bella and made my husband and I feel at ease when we were gone. We will continue to use Lydia’s services, 5 stars!”
“Kate went above and beyond with our two cats that we had to leave for an extended amount of time. We received multiple updates and fun photos each visit. It gave us such peace of mind to know they were safe and being well taken care of. She even updated us on weather conditions and helped prepare our home for an upcoming storm when we couldn’t return home in time. We will definitely be rebooking Kate in the future and know our two boys will be very excited to see us go!”
About: I started dog-sitting in college. I've taken care of blind senior dogs, puppies, adult dogs, not to mention guinea pigs, chinchillas, cats, turtles...the list goes on!! I work from home, so I can take my laptop anywhere! I do have a strict work schedule, but it doesn't matter where I am. I treat my pets like they're my kids, so your pets would be like my nieces and nephews...lots of fun but I'll give 'em back!! When dog-sitting in your home, I try to leave everything just as you left it.

About: I have been caring for pets for most of my life. I have 2 cats, Blue and Teigen, who are about 10 years old. They are my children! I have more experience caring for cats than I do dogs. But I love to hang out with dogs and get a day of running around in, which we both need💞 I work from home part time- so aside from caring for my own 2 cats, I have full availability to take care of your babies. I’m looking forward to building trusting relationships with owners and pets! I follow each clients instructions carefully and care for their pets as if they were my own. I am currently offering drop ins for cats and dog walking. I am also open to house sitting!

I look forward to meeting you and your dog whenever you book. Thanks in advance for everything!! Full time dog sitter with other part time work such as dog walking.

About: I have had a dog since I was nine, and now I am a cat mom. And I have had experience with house and petting sitting in high school and college. I want to be surrounded by animals again. I currently work a 8-4 job but I can take breaks to go let to doggies out. And I am free most weekends all day. I want to make sure pets feel comfortable in their own home when you are away. To make sure they get all of the love and attention they need. It can be hard on the pet and owner when the owner is away and I want to make sure that the time apart is easy and stress-free for both of you.

We feel so lucky to have had found Mimi!!! We were an entire ocean away and felt very relaxed with Mimi taking care of the dogs. I especially appreciated her communication throughout the time! She is officially our go-to when in need of some help with the dogs.
We had such an amazing experience with Olivia while we were away on our honeymoon! She was incredible with administering our cat’s daily eye medication and spent so much time playing with and loving on our fur baby while we were gone. The daily report cards and photos gave us so much peace of mind and truly reassured us that our cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for back at home. We are so grateful for the attention, communication, and care she provided and would absolutely book with her again!
Liz was wonderful. We are first time Rover users and were very nervous to take a weekend trip and utilize the platform. We have 2 senior cats, one with a chronic condition requiring medicine administration and a little extra tlc. Liz’s communication from the start was great. She was professional, accommodating, and worked with our furbabies to make them feel comfortable. I’m really happy with her service, would highly recommend, and would book again!
It was a wonderful experience having Karen walk my dog. She was great and trustworthy.she sent me pictures and videos on their walk which I was so happy to see. She was patient and spent extra time with my dog so he was comfortable since it was their first time. Will definitely be using her again in the future.
Olivia is a wonderful pet sitter! She took very good care if my puppy Vienna! She was on time for drop ins and stayed to play with her, giving her full attention. She also was consistent with sending pics and updates! Would highly recommend her and will use her again!
