“We left on a 7 day cruise leaving our beloved babies home, including a 2 month old lab mix, our 10 year old boxer and 13 year old kitty. Not only did meetups before help to get to know them. Our boxer took to Steve immediately!! Robyn and Steve sent us several messages, watched our home to reassure us, and left our house cleaner than when we came and with happy fur babies. We definitely want to have them watch our babies again in the future”
“Stephanie was AMAZING! She was very proactive in setting up a meet and greet beforehand and asked questions that helped us get to know her. She kept us updated the whole time on how he was and sent photos and pictures to us. She even filmed our pup opening his Christmas gift since we were away for the holiday. Went we came back our house was just as we left it and clean. She even put our recycling and trash at the curb for us. She also left a note and cute little chalkboard for when we got home. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Rose stayed with our pets while we were gone for 7 days. Everything that we asked of was done and more! I would recommend Rose if you’re looking for someone to care for your pets.”
“Sophie and Ryan are fabulous house sitters! This is the first time we have had a dog sitter watch our pup in our home. We were out of town for four full days and they did a fabulous job! Our fur-baby, Gonzo was well taken care of. They even gave him a bath! Our house was very clean when we came home and our pup seemed content. Sophie sent pictures every day and was a great communicator. We will definitely use them again in the future!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I care for every pet like they’re my own. I’m attentive, gentle, communicative and genuinely love bonding with each animals unique personality whether it’s a long walk, quiet companionship, or playful energy I adapt to what your pet needs most. I also respect your space routines, making every visit, smooth and stress free. I currently have a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability during weekdays and weekends for pet care. I am able to prioritize walks drop ins and sitting throughout the day and I enjoy building a consistent routine with each pet I care for whether it’s morning walks midday, check-in or overnight stays. I can easily work pet care into my daily flow. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own space when I care for pets at your home. I do my best to stick to their usual routines so things feel familiar and easy for them. I’ll treat your home with care and your pet like family whether that means extra cuddles, sticking to their favorite walking route or just keeping them company while you’re away
About: Life long animal lover. Cat owner since Elementary school. Currently have 3. All different breeds. I have experience with dogs too as I used to have 2 Labs. I often dog sit for my friends on weekends so figured I'd give this a go as well. Love meeting new pets I have lots of free time on the weekends and love going on walks whether its hot or cold. Most evenings in my work week are free. Pretty flexible if there are some pop up opportunities. I just love hanging out with animals in my free time. Cat wise: I am very careful to not let any cats out of the house. I know some can be escape artists. Lots of practice there. I will sit patiently for more timid cats to warm up to me. I typically won't pick them up at first or pet their bellies. I usually get my friends cats to warm up to me quickly and get them playing soon enough. Will cater to the cats that like drinking from the faucet too. Dog wise: I am ready to meet their energy and go on some fun walks. Will even be down to jog with them if they have a lot of energy. I'm cautious about food allergies so I will make sure I only give treats that are allowed and be patient to make sure they go to the bathroom during our visit. They will get all the pets they need!
“Kristie looked after out pit-mix and cat for a weekend and was fantastic. She was gracious and asked great questions during our initial meet and greet. She gave us updates and pics throughout the weekend. She was such a calm presence for our animals while we were away. Our home was clean and looked great, when we returned. We would definitely rebook with her. Thank you Kristie!”
“Mandy did such a wonderful job taking care of Brownie while we were out of town. It was Brownie’s first stay as an only dog as his sister recently passed the rainbow bridge so we were nervous about leaving him for so many days but Mandy eased the worry. She took many photos and gave regular updates. We will 100 percent use her again.”
“Jessica was great with our senior dog. Attentive, checked in with us and took lots of pictures! Jessica is reliable and conscientious. Our house was nice and clean when we arrived. We are totally using her again!”
About: Hello! I own a large dog and am comfortable all sizes and breeds. I'm okay with nervous dogs, and those that aren't perfect on leash. I love walking, and nothing beats walking with a dog! I'd be honored to meet your pup. I have flexibility in scheduling, and can do early mornings, late evenings, weekends, or other depending on the needs and my existing schedule. Please reach out with your request and I'm sure we can figure something out. I make sure my pets have a safe and comfortable environment to sleep, eat, play and live. I like to take my dog to see new things, and recognize that mental stimulation is important. I am familiar with dog etiquette and will keep your pet safe
“Karla was quick to respond when I reached out via rover. She made sure to do a visit before hand to meet our two dogs and make sure everyone was comfortable. She created a great sense of comfort that our dogs were in great hands while she dog/house sat while we were away. Received updates and photos throughout their stay with them. Will absolutely have Karla watch our pups again and would highly recommend her to others.”
“Pam is just the greatest. She took awesome care of our home (9 acres, pool, etc.) and pups (2 large malamutes) while we were out of the country for two weeks. Normal household issues occurred and she promptly notified us and handled them. She coordinated with contractors. She went the extra mile with our pups and with us, leaving the house very clean and with a few romantic gifts from my boyfriend for my birthday. We could not recommend her more highly and were thrilled to have such a trustworthy and detail-oriented person in charge.”
“Therisa stayed overnight for us to keep an eye on our 3 dogs and 4 cats. Two of the dogs are pretty high maintenance and one of the cats has to take meds. Everyone seemed happy and taken care of when we returned the next day! I also received many pictures which I so appreciate. Therisa has great communication. We will definitely be requesting her for future sits!”

Alyssa M.
“Alyssa lives in my apartment complex and I met her through Ada, the dog she is fostering. Ada was on her leash, about 15 feet away, begging for my attention so I asked if I could pet her. Alyssa said yes and explained that Ada is hyper-reactive, but I still thought she was an adorable dog. After talking with Alyssa over the last few months and having Ada stay at my apartment a few times, I could see how well Alyssa cared for her and trained her. Ada behaves so much better on the leash now, you almost wouldn't even notice her walking by you on the sidewalk. Alyssa even wrote detailed instructions on shampooing Ada's feet hahaha”

Normandy Village pet parents share their Rover experiences
Shelby was an amazing sitter for my 2-large, needy fur babies! She is kind, and made sure my fur babies were comforted throughout all of the fireworks over 4th of July weekend. Shelby left my house clean as if she had not been here at all. While here, Shelby was communicative, with updates on medication, feedings, treats, playing fetch and long walks, as well as how my dogs were doing overall. My dogs loved her and I look forward to having her sit with them again. I highly recommend Shelby for your pet sitting and pet walking needs. She’s awesome! 😊

Anna was the BEST dogsitter!! We were able to work out a schedule throughout the day, so she was here with the dogs a lot! She even brought her flirt pole so they could use it, which inspired us to buy our own. My two dogs enjoyed their time with her, and it was very stress free for me! I have already booked her again!
Jessie was fantastic! I felt like both of my dogs were in great hands. She is great at communicating and sending updates. I received daily pictures. I was worried because one of my dogs went to the vet the morning of our trip with an unknown fever but Jessie provided constant updates on her status for me. I definitely recommend using Jessie and plan to have her watch my puppies again in the future.
