“We are so happy we found Briana when moving to the area from out of state. She is incredibly thorough with her check-in’s and communication when caring for our kitty! We cannot recommend her enough!”
“Chelsea is phenomenal! She was so great with our high energy pup and was super attentive to her needs, asked all the necessary questions during our initial meet and greet. I loved that our pets seemed to feel at ease with her. The visit photos were a treat. Thank you so much for your time and care, Chelsea!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. Now I have 2 cats of my own which I adore. I love getting outside for walks any time of day and can do as long as your dog wants to! We just moved and I will not be working until a spot in daycare opens for my son. I can do daily drop-in’s and walks any day of the week. I will treat your home the way I would want a guest to treat mine and I will care for your pet like they are my own!
“Jessica is always so good to the girls. I just have to tell them she’s coming & they go look for her by the gate. They are so well taken care of. Thank you Jessica.”
“We are grateful to Paulina for responding to our last minute request for pet sitting. She did a great job taking care of our cats and gave us up-to-date info for each visit,”
“Xuni is extremely responsive, diligent, and caring to my dog. I always know my dog is happy because she actually eats her food when Xuni cares for her. She even kindly brought my recycling bins in for us! Highly recommend.”
“Again, Sara went on and beyond, and took super good care of our dog! Our dog had an amazing time with her! We even received her kind note and her selected photo printouts of our dog. Such a kind person! We completely trust her with our dog and will not hesitate to book her for the next time!”
“Nicole was great with my cat Hallie! Hallie is a very sweet and loving cat, but also very skittish around strangers. In a few short days, Nicole was able to gain her trust and Hallie would hang out with her. Nicole was very quick with responding to messages, particularly when I had questions or concerns, especially when Hallie was found to have some health issues less than a week before I was going out of town. Hallie seemed much happier and more energetic when I came back than when I left. I attribute that to Nicole taking such great care of her.”
“Holly ended up being the perfect match to care for my cat while I was away for the weekend! Communication was great and she is the only person I know that my cat immediately warmed up to! He tends to be shy and it usually takes him some time to get comfortable with new people but he seemed to enjoy her company from the first time she walked in the door! I highly recommend Holly and absolutely plan on using her services anytime I plan to be away! I can tell she cared for my fur baby just as much as she cares for her own which helps relieve the anxiety of leaving him with someone new!”
“Maya was very communicative and punctual for both of our visits. Our cat really seemed like he enjoyed her company and we are glad he was in good hands while out of town.”
“Kelly was great watching our cat over a long weekend. She was quick to communicate with, sent updates, and kept my cat happy and fed. She even did a "pre-visit" to meet my pet before we left. Would recommend and will book again!”
“Ashley was great with taking care of my dog while I was gone. My dog was just getting over being sick, so she needed a little more TLC, and Ashley kindly delivered. I am so grateful for her.”
“Nicole was my 1st EVER experience using rover or any dog walking/sitting etc… app, and the experience could not have been better! She walked, pun intended, me through the entire process and made it feel like she’s been watching my senior dog for yrs. I cant state this enough, you need some1 reliable to entrust your small sweet soft snuggles with, NICOLE IS THE WAY 2 GO. She went above and beyond and always kept me updated with photos and texts about my little man. Captain J.T. snuggle pants the 3rd had a great time with her and it made me feel like he was in excellent hands. Anytime I need a dog sitter, in the future, ill be asking for Nicole bc just well done, and GREAT JOB, THANKS AGAIN NICOLE!”
About: I've had pets since I was a little girl and even worked at a dog grooming salon for three years, which I loved. Over the past 3 summers, I’ve been on Rover and love my experience with animals and clients. I am still recovering from surgery, and we can discuss that when booking with me. I want to create a place where owners feel like they can reach out me and trust me when needed Hello, I’m currently a college student home for the summer. Back in April, I had hip replacement surgery. Over the past few weeks, I've been able to get back on my feet and move around a little more. I was looking to help any furry friends around the area that need to be fed or let outside. Unfortunately, I can't handle large, high-energy dogs. Please reach out, and we can discuss. If anyone needs help with small dogs or cats, I'm your girl. I unfortunately have a torn hip, so I try to book small dogs:) or low energy big dogs. I can’t wait to meet and care for many cute doggies:) During drop-ins, I typically follow the owners' requests, which include feeding the animals, playing with them, spending time together, letting them outside, and refilling their water, etc.
“Jen was fantastic! We couldn’t be happier with her exceptional care of our dog Finn! Jen kept us updated with texts, videos and photos. Between the long walks, movie time and playtime, I don’t think she missed us at all! I would not hesitate to call Jen again!!”
“Michelle is amazing with our three senior dogs. One is deaf, one is stubborn, and one is very excitable, so it’s definitely not an easy group to manage. She handled them all with patience and care, and after her first visit we felt completely comfortable.”

Great experience with Xuni! She was professional, punctual, and communicative throughout the entire trip. I especially loved the twice-daily check-ins; the 'proof of life' photos and videos she sent were fantastic and really put my mind at ease while I was away. Beyond just the basics, she went the extra mile by bringing in packages and keeping the litter area spotless. Most importantly, I came home to very calm and content cats—it was clear Maizey and Clementine were well-cared for and not stressed at all. I’ll definitely be booking her again. Highly recommended!
Jessica went above and beyond for us. While we were traveling she visited our senior cat multiple times a day during snowfall and even shoveled the snow. Nothing but ease and peace of mind while our cat was in her care. We look forward to working with her again! Thank you!
Kevin took great care of my cats and made me feel a lot better about leaving them alone for the first time. I was unusually anxious, but he came over to meet me and them and learn their routine, and made me feel comfortable right away. He was very patient with Biscuit, who's shy, and I could tell Mango felt comfortable around him. Will definitely book with him again the next time I need a cat sitter.
