“Allison was FANTASTIC! She was consistent with the check ins and sending pics through the Rover report card. Allison went above and beyond, scooping the cat boxes and ensuring water and food bowls were filled. Communication was great! We will definitely reach out to book Allison in the future.”
“Booked a second time as Renee is very reliable and adaptable, even with construction happening at my apartment making access more difficult. Her updates and photos are so appreciated! I call it my cat’s “report card” and look forward to seeing each update .”
“Wow, Linda again went above and beyond for my cats! One of them started to act a little sick/injured while I was out of state, and she did two extra drop ins just to check in on him before I got back, even though she definitely didn’t have to. I cannot tell her enough how thankful I am!!! She really cares about my animals, and she’s a blessing of a rover!!! If I could give her 10 stars I would!”
“Kim is incredible and second to none. You would think she’s known your animals as long as you have! Very thorough with her questions about your animals and things you prefer and you can tell she has a true love and passion for taking care of your extended family members. We will continue to book her over and over again!”
“Ryan was amazing! He bonded really well with our cat. He is great at communicating with me and made me feel reassured while we were away from our cat. I would highly recommend him!”
“Diane did a wonderful job taking care of Cecilia. When she came for the meet and greet, she brought a notebook, asked questions, and got to know Cecilia. While I was away, she sent pictures and detailed stories of their time together. She obviously has a love for animals, and that comes through in her attention and performance. I will certainly be using her again!”
“This is the second time I’ve used Kailyn to watch Coco. This time she was also house sitting instead of just doing drop ins. She did such a great job! She left literally zero remnants of being here! It was so sweet for her to clean up. Would highly recommend.”
About: Let me love on your fur babies while you’re at work or running errands. Leave toys so we can play and a leash for walks! I’m retired from the military and looking to fill my time. Taking care of pets would be an added bonus to my day and fulfill some fur baby time. I was also a vet tech for 10 years in the military. Please make sure there are toys and leashes so we can play or go to the dog park. Walks are a great way to potty and let me get my steps in lol
“Sam was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our little cat, Cleo. She made sure to update us daily with cute pictures and anecdotes. Cleo is a bit shy when meeting new people and Sam took the time to play with her and form a bond during the week they spent together. She even went over and above and watered our plants and brought in our packages as well. We will definitely book with Sam again she does such a great job!! :)”
About: I would love to take care of your fur babies. I am also a college athlete so I can play and run around with your dogs outside. I am just a student so the only thing that I would have each day would be class. I have made my schedule to where I do not have a lot of classes each day and my classes end early. I do not have my family dog with me so I will treat every animal that I sit like my own. I am very energetic so I will make sure the dogs that I sit will get the exercise they need.
“As a pet sitter myself, I know what taking good care of a fur baby looks like and Chelsea definitely checked all the boxes and more. Thank you for taking such great care of our boys and our house, we will be booking again with Chelsea and her sweet little helper.”
“Brandi took excellent care of our cat while we were out of town! She gave us frequent updates (even when Momo was making it difficult by hiding) and was very consistent and reliable.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and I've fostered and volunteered with animal shelters. I have experience with a broad range of dog breeds and every life stage from puppyhood to senior adulthood. I also have experience working with animals with various medical conditions. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I can spent quality time with your pets and make sure they get the best possible care. I want to make sure your pet is always safe and comfortable! I'll take the time to learn about your pet's needs, routines, and personality.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently care for my own 120lb German Shepherd, who’s had everything from pneumonia to cancer and pancreatitis. That experience taught me how to be attentive to a dog’s needs, spot early signs of illness, and provide calm, consistent care through even the toughest days. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always treat them with patience, respect, and love like they’re my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a little extra TLC, or just a steady hand, I’m here to help. I’m currently working at Auburn University. I’m available to help with your furry friend most evenings and weekends: after 5pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, after 3pm on Fridays, and most of the day Saturday and Sunday. While I can’t offer pet sitting in my home (my dog isn’t the biggest fan of making new friends), I’m more than happy to care for your pets in your home where they’re comfortable and safe.
About: Hello Rover clients! Thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Haley, I'm a 29 y/o dog sitter. I have been pet sitting on Rover.com for almost 10 years and have had a great experience. Always excited to meet new pet owners in the area. My goal on Rover.com is to grow our professional relationship for the long term and be your go-to pet sitter. When I'm not pet sitting, you can find me dancing with my daughter, hiking with my dog, reading a good book or gaming. I have been a pet lover since I was young and was raised in a veterinarian hospital before I started pre-school. I still bare the scares of locking myself in the kennels with the feral kittens. Since then I have studied Animal Care & Nutrition in High School, worked as an Adoption Counselor at a rescue in NorCal, supervised at a doggie daycare, enjoyed working as a Vet Tech at a mom and pop veterinary clinic, and gained valuable nutrition experience working for a pet store. As your sitter a day won't go by without contacting you with pictures and text updates to assure you that your furry friends are doing well during their stay. Communication is key in my book! You can also rest assure your dog will be with an experienced and compassionate pet lover. Please note, I have a two year old child who has been dog sitting & hiking with me from the moment she could. I update my calendar daily & respond to message quickly; if you are inquiring about dates that I am currently unavailable don't hesitate to contact me directly. My weekends are available to help you out. Long term stays are a case-by-case basis and we can speak further about your requested dates. Along with reading my client reviews, if you would like a list of current clients to contact directly I can provide that prior to our meet & greet. There is no better feeling knowing that your pet is safe and happy while you jet away. I look forward connecting with you to see if we are a right fit! I also offer hiking as a 'daycare' service. -Haley I am self-employed. With enough notice, my availability can be open & I can commit 110% to your fur-baby! Send a message you have any questions about my schedule. While visiting my packs home I try to follow your pet’s normal schedule as much as possible but I enjoy taking goofy pictures of your pup and sending them to you.
