“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my cat, going above and beyond to provide Leia with sweet cuddles during the visit. I know she appreciated the great care too!”


“Hire this woman! I needed to find a pet sitter for a week very last minute and I found Brittany. I’ve never left my cat Dutch with anyone so I was definitely stressed. But I knew within minutes of meeting Bri I had chosen the right person. My cat is very shy but she warmed right up to Bri. The pics and vids I got during my time away showed how happy Dutch was with her sitter. I was surprised at how well it went. She was playing and getting brushed and petted and so obviously calm and content even though she was alone for the first time and couldn’t go outside. Bri also did thoughtful things like get my mail and take out my trash. She made me feel comfortable leaving my home as well as my baby cat. She was a great communicator throughout my time away with good updates. She made it much easier to enjoy myself and not worry about my baby. It was obvious Dutch had been well cared for when I got home. She did not seem at all traumatized by being suddenly left alone so long for the first time, with strangers and stuck inside. I think that really speaks to how good Brittany is with animals. Take my advice and save some clicks and choose Brittany. She is sweet and kind with a big heart. She is all the things you want your babies to have. Bri is the next best thing to being there yourself. I highly recommend her. You won’t be disappointed!”


“Laurel was great to work with was super easy to communicate with. She was great with my pup and cat (who had a special diet). I would definitely use her services again and would recommend her to anyone in the area.”


“Ann did an awesome job with my kitty Maisie! She clearly understood how to interact with cats and was very personable and kind during our meet and greet. She was responsive to all message and the updates and photos she provided during her visits were great! I will definitely look to book again in the future.”


“Hope was so caring and loving with my big orange boy George. She was super attentive to detail and sent lots of pictures when checking in. Hope even cleaned up some of the litter mess when George would track it through the house, which was totally not expected but greatly appreciated! I was very at ease with knowing that my kitty was well looked after and I will definitely book Hope again. Thank you so much for your kindness and love to our furry friends!!”


“Elise did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my two kitties while gone for a long weekend. This was my first time using Rover or any pet sitter outside of friends and family - I was extremely nervous about leaving my cats in the care of someone I didn’t know, let alone having someone come into my home. Elise was so communicative, understanding, and made me feel at ease. I loved the pictures and detailed updates from her visits. I would definitely use Elise again and I would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter, especially someone who is new to Rover!”


“Fred was extremely helpful, flexible to a changing schedule as my work needs shifted, and above all seemed to genuinely care about making sure my cat was well cared for. Will absolutely be a repeat!”


“This was my first booking with Rover and Alexis set the bar really high! She went above and beyond in every way. I'd definitely book Alexis again next time I need someone to watch my cat 😺”


“Janet was great!!! Both babies loved her. I found them very happy. 😻😻❤️❤️ She fed them, played with them, brushed them…She took care of them really well. They wormed up to her pretty fast. Thank you So much Janet!!!!”

About: I have taken care of all types of animal my entire life, from cats and dogs, to snakes and fish, as well as horses and goats. Family and friends have always trusted me to take care of their fur babies! Hello! I have been a pet parent my entire life. I have a bachelor’s degree in exercise and nutrition science and I am currently an O&P resident. I walked dogs with WAG while in Houston, TX for a year in grad school. I also walked dogs in Franklin, Tennessee for four months while in a residency there. I am now in SLC for 4 months in residency. I have also been professionally trained as a dog bather at my family’s dog grooming salon in my home town. I have a love for all animals and can’t wait to meet yours! Please check out all of the services I offer and feel free to ask me any questions! I am currently a full time resident/student, I have some times where I am not going to be available but for the most part I am available whenever! I will not be available for boarding. I have personal animals and I am not comfortable keeping other people’s pets in my home at this time.

“Kai was very helpful while I was on Christmas vacation. She always checked on my cat on time and gave me lots of updates. I couldn't be happier and will hire again in the future 😄”


“Dorisa took such great care of our 4 cats! I was concerned because one cat needs daily meds and can occasionally be moody, but Dorisa did a wonderful job with her! The pictures she took were all adorable and her updates were very thorough. She went above and beyond and her care for animals really shows. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”


“Karen is great and our cat loves her. Karen takes pics and is super responsive. We’ve used her multiple times. She also lives in our same apartment which works out great. Would very much recommend her A+++++”


About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats over the past 15 years. My family has relied on me many times to walk and feed their pets while they're away. I’ve personally had three senior dogs so I am familiar with their special needs. Also, as a nurse I am comfortable giving medications if needed. I work full time as a nurse. I work three shifts a week and it is the same days each week, so I am available regularly during the week. I have three cats currently. They are dog and cat friendly. My backyard is partially enclosed but I live in a walkable neighborhood so I would not leave them out in the backyard since it’s not fully enclosed.

About: Growing up, I always had a handful of dogs which I took care of and loved for most of the day! I am the person who oohs and ahhs over every dog on the street! I rescued my two year old golden doodle and grew up with mainly rescued pups! I just started law school at Ole Miss! I have very open afternoons and evenings during the week and fully open on weekends. I care for my dog, Bentley at home regularly and could accommodate other pets. I always want to make any pet I care for feel comfortable and not threatene. I understand how different pets react to certain circumstances and it is important to take things slow and adjust your behavior to cater to the pets needs. Every owner has different guidelines that should be followed to ensure the best care for their loved pet.

“I was really grateful that Jennifer could stop by to check on my cat with such short notice while I was out for the day. She was on time, sent pictures, and I didn’t have to worry about anything. Definitely will use her services in the future!”


About: I’ve had and taken care of many dogs since I was learned how to walk. From pit bulls and cane corso’s to small dogs like chihuahua’s and Shih Tzu’s! I am currently employed for closing shifts so I am available for the entirety of the week during the day, I prefer mornings or afternoons before 2pm but I can work with evenings if needed. All dogs will stay in my living room with kibble, treats and water provided unless there is special dietary needs. I have lots of toys to keep clients dogs entertained and I go for walks twice a day. If my services is needed at the clients house I will follow their schedules.

Majayah B.
“Majayah is honestly the best dog sitter I've ever had. She are very responsible and very trust worthy. She took care of my 2 year old Rottweiler for me while I was on Vacation with my family. She followed the schedule I have for him to the tea! She's the only person I trust with my Dog because of how responsible she is. My Bobo loves her so much that I even think he likes her more than me! Therefore, I believe that Majayah would be the most perfect young woman to be a pet caregiver.”
