“Chad was amazing! Booked with him last second after our original sitter canceled. Never used Rover so I was definitely hesitant, but couldn’t have lucked out with anyone better than Chad. He was early for every appointment and gave both our dogs nothing but TLC the entire visit. My wife would look on the cameras and our female loved Chad, they just played constantly. Our grumpy, old male seemed to enjoy his visits, which was a huge relief. I couldn’t recommend Chad enough, he’s extremely professional, diligent, and made us feel at ease during a stressful time.”
“Rachel took amazing care of my dog over the past few days. She was attentive, responsible, and truly caring. I really appreciated that she took him out for walks. I know he can pull pretty hard, and she handled it so well. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her!”
“Rachel was wonderful! Literally I was a hot mess and missing my babies from hour one and she answered every question and went above and beyond. It has taken us years to find a cat sitter and Rachel made it so easy I could cry. Would recommend over and over again!”
“JoVonna has been awesome! She’s always quick to communicate with us and is so sweet to our doggies! Would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter! ❤️”
“Thank you, Kirsten. You are always very in tune to our dogs needs and very patient with our anxious pup! We appreciate your attention to details and keeping good notes!”
“Ioana was excellent. Great communication throughout, and really helped put our minds at ease knowing someone was there to look out for our cats. Would recommend!”
About: I had a Rottweiler for 8.5 years, I lost him 8/23/2024. I currently dog sit every once in a while for my granddog Odie and sister in law's dog Bandit. Photos in profile. I work from home 4 days a week. So pets can normally go out at any time. The one day I go to the office it is an 8 hour day. Walking would be after 5:30 pm. I have fenced in back yard. No other pet at this time. I can walk your dog in a pet friendly neighborhood. I am comfortable with all size dogs.
“Mariya was fantastic caring for my elderly dog! She was able to take my request on very short notice and took great care of him while I was away! Thank you!”
“Elizabeth is wonderful! She went far and beyond when my cat Tigger was sick. She took excellent care of him. Even water my plants while I was on vacation. Highly recommend her for cat or house sitter.”
“Rachel was so great with my kitten and I know he was happy to see her. She helped me out with a last minute request after I had a cancellation and followed everything I asked for perfectly.”
“I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!”
About: Hi, I’m Claire! I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life and have pet sat for family and friends for years. I’ve also done training classes with my own pets, so I’m comfortable handling pups with all kinds of personalities. I’m currently in grad school and love using walks as a way to take a break from studying. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own! I’m currently in grad school with a steady schedule throughout the week. I typically work 7-5, M-F. I’m able to offer flexible options for drop-in visits, playdates, or walks. I provide personalized, attentive care for your pets. I’m comfortable administering medications and strictly following any care instructions you provide, so you can feel confident your pet’s health and routine are in good hands. Whether it’s a refreshing walk, playtime, or simply companionship, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique needs to ensure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I take pride in showing them love and attention to make them feel at ease while their humans are away. I am currently working part time with a flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to fit in caring for fur babies. I am also fully mobile. I have a great attention to detail and am committed to mine/your pets well being. Making sure fresh food and water is available, playtime is extremely important as well as maintaining their routine as close as possible. Keeping an eye on any changes in behavior, appetite and bathroom habits. Providing plenty of love and affection which can also help in reducing any stress and anxiety.
“Kelsey is fantastic! Kind, courteous, caring and communicative. Plus, our sweet senior kitty loves her - what more could we ask for? We highly recommend Kelsey and will book with her for a return visit. Thank you, Kelsey! We are grateful for you.”
“Erica did great checking on my kitties while I’m out of town. This was my first time using rover so I was a little nervous but she uploaded pictures and made my kitties feel comfortable. Will definitely use her again!”
“Allie treats your pet like her own. Cute photos and little updates make you feel like you have a connection with them even if you’re on the other side of the planet. Look forward to the updates everyday I’m traveling.”

Rachel went above and beyond. She noticed one of the litter boxes getting low and added more litter (a task we’d forgotten in our rush to get going). Rachel washed up cat food bowls so we wouldn’t have as much to do when we returned and sent photos of everyone each visit. We will definitely be a repeat customer!
Malachi did a wonderful job with Bruno. I was pretty anxious to leave Bruno with someone since I work from home, but I had to attend a conference for most of the day. I'm a bit of a helicopter mom, but Bruno looked like he was having a good time playing in the yard with Mal. I'm really happy to have found Bruno likes and will exercise with when im not available. He's pretty high energy so I'll most definitely be reaching back out!
