Kevin and Ana came exactly when they said, walked my dogs and dried them off from the rain, and were very communicative. When my new address was not updated in the system and they ended up at my old address, they contacted me right away and without hesitation went to my new address 20 minutes away. I will definitely get in touch again when I need a dog walker and sitter!

Mark was great with my boys. He was very attentive and kind. Me being away for a week is real stressful for my cats, but he made them feel at ease and comfortable. He even took quality time to play with the kitten, which made the kitten so happy. Mark was great with communicating and keeping me updated with the visits. I would use Mark again and highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a professional sitter who is kind, gentle and caring.

About: I have multiple years of experience petsitting, volunteering at animal shelters, and caring for pets of my own. I’m also knowledgeable about animals body language and behavior, which play a huge role in working with reactive, fearful, or under-socialized pets. I’m a college student spending the summer at home, so my hours are pretty flexible, and I’m more than happy to work around my client’s schedules. When doing drop-in visits, I typically feed your pet first before completing any additional tasks you need taken care of (grooming, cleaning, scooping litter boxes, etc.). Once your pets are done eating, I can give them up to an hour of play/social time before i leave, depending on how much energy they tend to have.

I am a new Rover user and was nervous about entrusting my 8-month-old puppy to someone I didn't know. But Samantha exceeded expectations in many ways! She clearly loves dogs and was excited to meet my Yogi. She gave him a wonderful walk, made sure he had plenty of water, and even adjusted her schedule to meet our preferred timeline. Yogi was happy as a clam when we got home, and we are thrilled that we now have a reliable sitter to call for future needs.

Molly was great with Bella! Communication was on point (quick responses and always confirmed a day before), received cute photos of Bella playing in the backyard, seems like they had the best time! Would absolutely trust Molly again with my dog!

Natasha went above and beyond when taking care of Roscoe. He is a bit of a fearful dog, but he took right away to Natasha and even rolled over for a belly rub, which he never ever has done with a stranger before. She must have some sort of special touch. She is responsible, keeps in constant contact, followed all of my instructions, and Roscoe obviously loved her. We will definitely be using her again in the future.

I felt very comfortable going out of town and leaving my new cat in Kathy's care. He's very shy but she managed to see him. There was good communication and I found her to be very caring.

Jennifer was great taking care of Stanley our cat. He was certainly pampered with brushings once a day and his favorite belly rubs. She was very comfortable giving him his meds each day. I would highly recommend Jennifer.

Brooke is fantastic! I highly recommend her I left so many confusing instructions about my not-so-friendly, finicky cat and Brooke just rolled with it. Absolutely no judging when I explained that she’d need to open the door, wait a few seconds… then close the door and repeat numerous times until my cat finally agreed to go outside. (My cat is obnoxious) She came to the house even in a snow storm. Brooke really is wonderful and I hope you’ll be lucky enough to have her !

Wendy Johanna was really great watching our dog for a few days! Our dog is usually anxious and timid with new people but she seemed to warm up to Wendy quickly. Wendy was great at communicating with us and sending lots of updates, photos and videos that really helped us relax knowing our dog was being looked after. I’d definitely recommend Wendy and will use her again in the future! 🐶
