“Xuni was wonderful with my dog. She was diligent and attentive, and on time to all of the visits. She successfully gave her her morning pills and provided a lot of care! She was great with communication. My dog is large and can’t be around other dogs, and Xuni was able to navigate that well on the walks, along with her anxiety. I would definitely have her care for my dog again in the future!”


“My cat Forrest gives Kim 4 paws up after she looked after him while his human was in Europe for 11 days! I would happily re-book with Kim because she is trustworthy, flexible, a great communicator and very observant. I am a first time Rover user and her pre-visit prior to accepting the booking put me at ease. I loved her Rover cards. During my trip I felt confident that my senior cat was doing well in her care. Book Kim and you will have no worries!”


“Jessica came and took care of Axel for a drop in visit. We got home 11 hours later and he was calm cool and collected. That made it absolutely worth it. Will ask Jessica to care for Axel again!”


“Cassie has been such a wonderful caretaker for our cats. She spends quality time with the cats and ensures everything is clean and in order. Cassie goes above and beyond, was very flexible, and was such a big help. The cats absolutely adored her and seemed to really enjoy her company.”


“My cat absolutely LOVED Chelsea. She's my go to for any trips out of town and has been so responsive and professional throughout the whole process. She's been able to make my last minute requests work, and I knew my cat Bug would be cared for :)”


“Briana took care of our 2 dogs, and we are very happy with our first experience. We will definitely use her in the future. She was quick to reply to our emails, and followed all our instructions. Most importantly, she was reliable: checking-in at the agreed on times, sending photos, and letting us know the dogs were fine.”


“Lianne took exceptional care of my two cats while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and well looked after. Her detailed report cards and frequent photo updates gave us so much peace of mind. Each message was thoughtful and showed just how attentive she is. I can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”


About: My journey in pet care began in 2016 when I brought home a golden doodle who quickly became part of the family. Over time, I developed a deep understanding of how pets, whether dogs, cats, or other companions, bring comfort, joy, and emotional support to the people who love them. I ultimately chose to have her stay with my ex-husband so she could be a consistent source of support for our daughter during her time with him. Since then, I’ve cared for a variety of animals, each with their own unique personalities and needs. I’m calm, attentive, and patient, and I always take the time to make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable in my care, whether I’m walking them, feeding them, playing with them, or simply keeping them company. I work from home three days a week, so I’m around during the day to give your pets attention, playtime, and care. I’m also fully available on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. My flexible schedule allows me to tailor care to your pet’s needs, whether that means midday cuddles, structured walks, or keeping your pet company while you’re away. I take a calm, caring approach to every pet I look after, whether I’m visiting your home or caring for them in mine. I live in a townhouse with plenty of walking paths nearby, making it easy to give dogs the exercise they need. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique temperament and routine, and I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and creating a stress-free environment wherever I provide care.

“Nicole took great care of my pets while I was out of town. My maltipoo’s tail was wagging the first time he meet her. You can just tell that she loves animals. She is very reliable and sends pictures. I will happily be asking her to watch my pets again!”


“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!!”

“Cannot recommend Sara enough! She was incredibly thorough and sent so many pictures and videos. We were out of town for about a month so she even offered to help with the plants and bringing in the mail, etc. She is incredibly kind, professional, and very obviously LOVES animals. It was such a relief to know my little buddy was in such capable hands. Thanks again Sara!!”


“Paulina is a great cat sitter! She was easy to communicate with and was happy to meet us and our cat before we hired her. She is reliable and gave our cat plenty of attention while we were away. Would absolutely hire her again. Thank you, Paulina!”


About: Hi there! I’m a second-year veterinary student who loves animals. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant in a small animal clinic for the past two years, gaining hands-on experience with dogs and cats. I would love the chance to hang out with your furry friend! I am both BLS CPR and Fear Free certified and have experience administering oral, IM and IV medication to dogs and cats. During the weekdays, I am available during lunch (12-1), and after 5pm every day. My weekend availability is on a case-by-case basis so reach out! I am committed to creating a calm, safe environment for your pet. My family currently has a 3-year-old doodle and an almost 14-year-old Keeshond, so I’m familiar with both high-energy pups and senior pets.

“Maya did a wonderful job taking care of my Lily. She sent lots of pictures and her updates were very informative. She also gave her meds, which Lily did not make easy, but she got it done. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing Lily was well taken care of. I cannot give her enough stars!! I would book her again!!”

Kevin was the perfect pet sitter! He watched our 2 cats when we were away for a week. He sent numerous photos, let us know when he would be going to our home, communicated well, and left everything perfect! 10/10 would use him again and recommend him to all others!

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!
