1. Grace P.


“Grace was everything we were looking for in a dog sitter! From my first meeting with her, I knew that our dog would be well cared for. She exceeded our expectations! I was able to enjoy my vacation because I was confident in Grace’s skills in meeting the needs of our senior dog. We will definitely reach out to her the next time we are looking for someone to pet-sit and would recommend her to anyone looking to use Rover's services!”


2. Stacie S.

“Stacie did a fantastic job with our rescue dog, Ducky. He was relaxed and comfortable and even our kitty. who is generally quite reserved in showing his affections to strangers, came out to snuggle with her. Thanks Stacie! It was such a relief to have our fur people in safe and capable hands!”


3. Olivia E.

“Olivia took great care of my dog and my cat! She was super responsive and I would definitely recommend her for house sitting or any other service that you need!”

About: I have the experience of being a vet tech, and behavior tech for 8 years. Medical issues are a breeze to me. I'm not afraid of any behavior challenges either. I'm here to support your furry friend. Or scales, wings, and hooves. I've worked on horse farms for 15 years, had the pleasure of caring for small barnyard animals for years as well as my own. Spiders -snakes- lizards I love them all.I've been fear free certified. I'm self motivated, kind, reliable. I have all the time in the world to drop in for walks, play times, medication times, stall cleaning, nose booping, feeding , or any other needs you and your pets have. I know how important reliability and trust are in this field. I know what a privilege it is, or sometimes even a last resort to be let into someone's home to care for their pets. I'm a great communicator and I will respect any house rules put in place. I won't leave you scrambling for a pet sitter or walker last minute, as I've had this happen to me many times.


5. Hope S.

“Super happy. Felt our dogs were taken care of and loved.”


6. Sue C.

“Great, consistent communication, sent photos of my Kitty daily, along with updates. My cat is very skittish around people but Sue was eventually able to pet her, which is a big win.”


7. Laura G.

“Laura took amazing care of our two boys and took exceptional care to make sure they got the exercise our young hound needed. She was super respectful of our home. We would love to have her to stay with our guys any time!”


8. Dominique M.

“Excellent care was provided for my pets on a short notice, would definitely utilize her services again.”


9. Ariana M.

“Ariana really came through for us when our usual sitter became unavailable at the last minute! Our dog and cat really seemed to like her and she kept the house neat and tidy during her stay. We really appreciated how much she kept in touch with us and shared photos of our happy critters. If the need arises, we will be happy to hire her again.”




10. Danielle L.

“Danielle was an amazing sitter - both of my dogs loved her from the start, and when I got back after five days away it was like they hadn’t minded my being gone at all. Would recommend Danielle’s services to anyone!”


11. Ashley M.

“Ashley was fantastic with our two girls. It is hart to leave them especially since our one dog is on lots of medication, but Ashley managed all the meds flawlessly and took them both for multiple long walks. I highly recommend her!”


12. Casandra B.

“Casandra was great with my cat Coco! Coco requires some medications to be given a couple times a day, and she was able to do that. She gave me updates on Coco throughout the week, and photos of Coco every day, and I came back from vacation to a healthy happy Coco!”


13. Hilda N.

“Hilda stayed at our house and watched our dog and cat. She was wonderfully professional and as a bonus a wonderful house sitter as we came home to a cleaner house than we left it! I would not hesitate to hire her again.”


14. Kaeleen F.
“Kaeleen took excellent care of our cat while we were away! She was very communicative and trustworthy and our kitty seemed very happy when we got home.”


15. Elise A.

“I booked Elise for 2 nights to take care of my two dogs. She graciously took time to meet me and the dogs prior to the dates. I went away feeling very comfortable and confident that my dogs were in good hands. Highly recommend Elise for anyone wanting a special person watching their precious pups.”


16. Morgan B.

“Morgan was everything we were looking and more! Kind, courteous, and clearly an animal lover at heart! We have two large, crazy dogs and she was confident yet gentle with them from the moment they greeted her at the door. Our 16 year old cat who doesn’t come out for many people warmed up to her quickly too. We wouldn't hesitate to have her come stay with our animals again!!”


17. Amanda C.

“Amanda was available on very short notice and did a great job caring for our puppy overnight. Highly recommend!”


18. Althea B.
“I have known Althea for 20+ years she is a great caregiver! Years of experience with all different types of animals. Her dogs are always enjoying outside activities with her! She is responsible, caring and outgoing. I would recommend her as a caregiver/pet sitter!”


19. K F.
About: I have lots of experience with animals of all kinds. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds for friends & family since I was very young. I currently work full time during the week & have weekends off. This works perfect to allow me to give adequate potty breaks & lots of attention, with even extra time over the weekend. When caring for your pets in your home, I will aim to maintain the routine they know & are comfortable with. I appreciate information on what they are used to, to allow the experience to be as stress-free as possible for the pets.


20. Kimberly L.

“We needed to find a house/dog sitter for the weekend due to an unexpected situation and Kim was great. She responded quickly and was able to meet me and the pups same day. She was personable and I felt very comfortable leaving her to watch my home and pups. She was very communicative through the weekend, sent lots of pictures, and even left us a sweet welcome home gift and note. 10/10 would recommend and use again.”
