“Abby was kind enough to let me book her last minute. She was friendly, considerate, and so good with my cat Tobi. She updated each visit with photos and made me feel at ease that Tobi is in good hands. I will definitely book her again in the future! Highly recommend Abby”


“Heather is amazing !!! our dog Carlos was a happy boy when we got home we got updates throughout the whole process. We will definitely be using Heather again.”


“Kirsten is great! One out of our two dogs is very fearful of new people but Kirsten has been so patient with her. She takes a lot of pictures and does a great job giving us a report of how the visit went. We will be asking Kirsten to puppy sit in the future!”


“We just wanted to say a huge thank you for taking such great care of our boys this past week! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and reliable hands. We could tell from the updates (and their happy, relaxed energy when we got home!) that they felt safe, spoiled, and well cared for. We’re so grateful for you and truly appreciate all the time, attention, and love you gave them while we were away. Hope we can book with you again in the future!”


“Mariya did a great job with our 5 animals - 3 cats and 2 dogs, one of them a senior. They all warmed up to her very quickly. She left very thorough report cards that made me at ease while we were away! Highly recommend :)”


“Rachel and Wesley were absolute lifesavers when we had to unexpectedly be out of town overnight. We booked them at the very last minute, and they stepped right in to let our boys out a couple of times while we were gone. They sent great photos, thoughtful updates, and communicated quickly and clearly the whole time. Very kind and professional. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”


“Deanna took great care of my two cats - feeding, scooping, and playing. She kept me well informed and snapped pictures. She showed up every day. Highly recommend!”



“Marilyn is fantastic with our fur babies. She is prompt and very detailed in her visit communications. On the second visit, she even won over our Maltese—that has never happened!”


“She is wonderful!! My dogs loved her and I felt so happy that someone was with my dogs while I had to be out for outing with family!! Thank you so much”


“Kelsey is the best!! Not only did she take great care of our cat (and our home), those two became best friends forever right away! Kelsey is super consistent with her visits, sent tons of pictures and videos and was always quick to communicate. We just got home and have already booked Kelsey again... We could not be more happy to have Kelsey's care and support while we're away from home.”


“Kelly went above and beyond for my pet cat. She kindly followed all my instructions, was always on time, and kept me updated with photos to ease my mind while I was away. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone who needs pet care! Thanks again for the outstanding service girl!”


“Erica was super communicative and made sure Enzo was taken care of while I was away. I really appreciate her spending time with him and making sure things were taken care of while I was away :) will definitely use her again :)”


“Emily was so good with our cats! Our cat had to get a daily pill and they were very happy and comfortable to do it for us. It was the first time we had one of our cats on medication while we were on vacation so we were extremely nervous. After the first visit was finished though, we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation because of Emily! Thank you so, SO much! We will definitely book them again if their schedule permits! ♥️”


About: I have been taking care of dogs around the neighborhood and for friends and acquaintances since I was in middle school! I can handle any breed, any size and any age. I love big dogs best! I am extremely reliable and want to make sure your dog and you are super comfortable when you have to be away from them! I typically have the whole day free until 2 PM and I have two days a week completely off work. I don't have a wife, girlfriend, kids or any other major draw on my time and energy, which leads me to spend almost all my free time spoiling my own dogs. Rover gives me an opportunity to spread the love to your dog too! I am very energetic and love to walk, or play fetch, or tug of war or whatever else your pup may have on his wish list of activities. I have fostered for a couple of humane societies and have several crates, tons of toys, treats and lots of love to share. I'm big on rewarding good behavior. I have always had a dog in the house since I was born and have a good feel for what they might want and how they might communicate their needs to me.

“Angi was great with coming to take our dog out while we were away. She was professional and she was great with our dog! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future!”


“Maddie was great for our first experience using Rover. We have a 10 month old pup that we weren't comfortable boarding while on vacation. We utilized Maddie for deop in services to feed, walk and spend some time with our guy. She was very responsive from my initial message. We did a meet and greet several days before. She followed up with notes she had taken during that meeting to ensure she understood expectations and that we were on the same page. During her times with Joey she provided several pictures and a detailed summary of their time together for each visit. Maddie will.be the first person I reach out to should we need further services in the future. I highly recommend her to assist with anything you may need for your own pet.”


About: I have taken care of big animals from horses to large dogs for years. Potty training assistance for puppies or if you have a Senior with extra needs no problem I've dealt with both so know sometimes, they just need some extra care and assistance. I currently am retired so spend much of the day at home. So your pet will have plenty of attention while you are at work for drop-in daycare or for boarding. Currently I have an 10 month-old puppy that was crate trained. She pretty much goes with me most places I go. I do keep animals crated separately if there are other pets in our home if I have to step out. I know each pet parent has their own style, so I am open to whatever you prefer for your pet. I do stay home mostly during the day and take my puppy out several times a day for playtime in the backyard or sometimes we walk around my neighborhood. I know most pets have a routine that they like so I do like to try and stick to that if they have one. My home is quite and calm during the day unless it's playtime outside. I recently had to put down my 13-year-old heeler which she always did better in a home versus kennel environment when we were away. So, I try to make sure that those that I am caring for feel safe and try to keep them engaged and happy while their parents are not home. I have worked in training kennels and horse stables so used to being around many different animal personalities.

Michelle A.
“Michelle is close friend and when it comes to my puppy, she was always there to help us when we could not be home. She was always willing to help out last minute if needed to let out my dog who adores her. Being able to rely on her in a bind made getting my puppy potty trained when I was working much easier and helped to let us know she was able to get out during the day.”
