Katie is excellent! She clearly cares about animals and is very knowledgeable about their care. She even alerted me to suspicious activity in my neighborhood, cleaned up an accident, and made sure to check on all 4 of my kitties, including the boy who constantly hides and runs from people. I appreciate her help so much and would recommend her to anyone!!!! Thank you Katie for caring for my babies as if they were yours!!!

Karen is amazing. Played with my two cats, showed up on time. Followed instructions to a "T", and my girls really appreciated her company and care. Made going out of town easy and stress free. I'll definitely book again when I need cat care, I cannot stress how amazing of an experience this was!

Ashley was wonderful! Super communicative and just helpful all around. I knew it was going to be a good fit when our dog actually ate her food while Ashley was dropping in. That is a rare thing for our old girl. Thank you Ashley!

Donna came to dog sit for us in March 2018 for a three week period, while we went on holiday to Asia. She looked after our two rescue dogs and we felt absolutely confident and happy to be leaving them in her care. Donna was very reliable, and is trustworthy and caring - exactly the sort of person needed to be taking care of your precious fur kids, and your home. As well as being a great pet and housesitter, Donna is also a lovely person - easy to get on with, friendly, and good company. We have stayed in touch with her over social media since she was at our home, and would always welcome her back if she was to be in the UK again. Myself and my husband would have no hesitation in recommending Donna as a dog walker and sitter, or indeed to care for any pets, and think that anyone who enlisted her help would be lucky to have her.

Michelle did an excellent job taking care of my Mom’s dog while we were away on vacation. We hired her for 2 walks per day over a period of 8 days. Communication was excellent and she was very punctual with the agreed upon times. Our dog can be kind of skittish and Michelle was very patient and took the time to meet with us ahead of time for instructions. I will definitely use her again when we are on vacation.

Maria has been doing drop in visits for my two cats since 2022. She has been reliable and wonderful each time. This most recent visit one of my cats developed an infection and needed more frequent check ins and antibiotics. Maria was flexible and took such great care of him, keeping me updated along the way! Will always recommend her!

About: I've worked in boarding kennels since 2015, responsible for the well-being and care of up to 70 dogs at a time. Working with Rover allows me to focus all my love and attention on a single dog at a time! I also worked with Canine Companions during college, pet sitting for service dogs in training. Taking care of dogs (and cats!) is what I'm passionate about and I would love to get to know you and your pet! I am available Monday-Friday from 8am-7pm. I currently do not have a secondary job, besides being a stay-at-home dog mom to my own pup, so my schedule is free during the week to take care of other pups as well. My goal for in-home visits and walks is to work with your dog's normal daily routine. I will do my best to tailor my visits to you and your dog's individual needs.

About: I have 2 years experience working in a rescue/boarding facility! I did feedings, gave medications to animals that required it, cleaned up after animals, took dogs/puppies on walks, did basic training sessions, groomed and trimmed nails, and I also booked appointments for boardings. I have also taken rescues or fosters home when the rescue had overflow. I have watched dogs for friends and family as well. I am comfortable with any type of pet, big or small! Right now I am currently working mostly nights at my job. I am available most mornings/afternoons. I also usually am off Tuesdays and Thursdays. I will give updates on availability, as my schedule tends to change. I will not be offering care in my home, as I have a senior dog that enjoys his rest! I am comfortable walking any size dog, I can care for special needs and or senior dogs/puppies that may require special care! I can do feedings, give medicine, walk, teach some leash manners, teach basic training such as sit, lay down, stay, come, paw, and other basic commands. Then of course the most important thing, which is just being there for your pet while you are away!

The best! We had Joanna do drop-in visits for our 2 dogs while we were out of town for 6 days. She was great a about texting us any issues, letting us know how they were doing, and tending to all their needs! The dogs were always so happy to see her. We will definitely use her again and recommend!
