“Melanie did a great job taking care of my very unfriendly cat Daisy! She sent lots of pictures & updates, which I enjoyed getting. Melanie brought my mail in & took my garbage out to the curb for pick up too. She went above & beyond! I am so happy to have found her to take care of Daisy when I am gone!”


“Ashley was a great sitter for the two cats. I appreciated the updates and lots of cute photos. She fed them per our specific instructions and kept their litter boxes and water bowls clean and fresh. Thank you for taking care of our little guys!”


“Becky did an outstanding job taking care of my cat Buddy while I was away! She provided daily updates with pictures, and I had peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. Will definitely be rebooking with Becky in the future!”


“Ruby was wonderful with our two pups for a drop in visit! She was able to come short notice as well which we so appreciate. It was soooo relieving and nice knowing we were leaving our dogs with someone we could trust.”


“First time using Rover and having Chelsie do drop-in visits. My 3 y.o. tabby jumped in her lap and rubbed on her during the meet-and-greet. 9 y.o. floofer took a few days to warm up although she did do an unexpected observe from a favorite perch. But Chelsie charmed her in the end. I especially appreciated the pics and short vid of my fur kids. Really happy for her care of them!”


“Riley did amazing with my dog Kiko. Kiko is very nervous and takes a long time warming up to new people but Riley knew what they were doing and was so patient with Kiko! They were reliable and took great care of Kiko. I will definitely be booking them again!”

About: I’m a devoted animal lover who treats every pet as if they were my own, drawing on years of experience caring for all kinds of personalities—from gentle senior cats to playful pups. I believe in proactive care and creating a calm, enriching environment through fun walks, cozy snuggles, and interactive play based on each pet’s energy level and preferences. Clients frequently compliment my communication style—I send frequent photo updates, highlight sweet moments, and keep detailed notes so you always know how your pet is doing. With a flexible schedule and a clean, pet-friendly home , I offer dependable companionship you can trust. I’m organized, responsive, and committed to following each pet’s routine to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently working full time and am available to care for your companion in the evenings and on most weekends , also including most holidays. When caring for pets—whether in my home or yours—I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness as if they were my own. I understand that every pet has their own unique routine, personality, and preferences, and I take the time to learn and follow their individual needs closely.

“This was our first Rover experience, and our first time leaving our two dogs to be cared for by another other than immediate family. Jaclyn was extremely professional, and you can tell the first time she comes to do the meet and greet that she really LOVES dogs. Our dogs also sensed that right away. We felt at ease with Jaclyn as our sitter, because she was always prompt, provided pictures of the dogs, and they did not seem at all anxious when returned home. We will definitely be using Jaclyn again if we need a doggysitter! Thanks so much!”

“Mary is a wonderful pet sitter! She took excellent care of my sweet, shy kitty for the whole nearly 3 weeks I was away and even took pictures of Cassidy-cat at every visit. She also made sure my tank of shrimp and snails were fed and the water level stayed good! I would absolutely choose to have Mary come look after my pet fam again the next time I go on vacation. She rocks!”


“Belinda was amazing with my kitties. She dropped in on them over the weekend and was super responsive and so helpful. Her check ins were really thorough and she went out of her way to make sure my boys were cared for. Highly recommend we will be using her again!”


About: I will make sure your dog knows I care about them, I am very hands on. I love playing, petting, just having a good time with animals. There are some great trails around the area that I have heard about that I would love to take your dog with me to explore (as long as that is okay with you) and I will make sure your dog has a great time with me. I currently work a part time overnight job, but I am not getting many hours at all so my availability is pretty open. I have been pet sitting for about 1 year now, and I really enjoy it. Before that, I had a dog of my own, but she passed recently, so I am eager to pass on my love for her, to any other animals that I can.
