“We had peace of mind leaving our four furry children (2 dogs, 2 cats) with Tracy. As we were new to Rover, Tracy walked us through the booking process and answered all of our questions. He kept us informed throughout his stay sending pictures and messages letting us know that all was well. We are very pleased with our experience.”


“Tricia is absolutely wonderful with our pets! We haven't ever seen them take to to strangers as well s they did her. Her laugh while playing with the dogs was truly infectious. We've already booked her again for our next vacation.”


“We were nervous to leave our 8 month old kitten for 10 days, but Brianna to the rescue! She mostly stayed at the house with Lucy and kept her busy. She sent lots of cute photos and videos so we knew our little girl was being well cared for. Brianna was a trooper - even staying over when she came down with bronchitis! We will definitely book Brianna again when we go away. Lucy loved her, and so do we!”


“Nicole was able to do a last minute booking and come to the campground I was staying due to concern of algae risk for my dog while kayaking. They were so flexible and allowed us to have a good time w/o worry. Neighboring campers told us the dogs got lots of walks and attention. Thank you Nicole!!”


“After our flight was canceled, Bree helped us out and watched our dog an additional night after watching him for over a week. We appreciate having a reliable sitter!!”


“Alydia did an amazing job watching our pups. She went above and beyond with everything that was asked of her. Great communication as well! 10/10 recommend”


“Cruz is the best! His 2 kitties are happy and healthy with lots of toys, nature to watch from the window, and they’re never hungry. He also helped me dog-sit for my friend one weekend and he played with him, walked a trail, and gave him cuddles the whole time. I definitely recommend!”

“Sarah is absolutely amazing! Our fur babies were so well taken care of and she updated us everyday while we were on vacation!”


“Amber is a great caregiver to dogs and cats! She has watched my 5 dogs often and does so well every time! She’s also watched a family friends cat and has worked at a rescue that worked with both dogs and cats!”

About: I’ve taken care of one shitzu and terrier mix and one German shepherd which are my uncle’s pets as he is most of the time on a work trip. I would looked after them on weekends and holidays. I’m used to feeding them, taking a walk and potty breaks and giving them a bath. Right now, I’m on summer break and I am not looking for a part time job or anything so I have lots of free time to look after your puppies! I don’t have any pets at my home but I’m confident that I can keep them safe and comfortable in my home! I’ll make sure to be tailored to any specific requirements or needs of each pet!

About: I have extensive experience in taking care of pets of all kinds, especially geriatric pets. I am adept at medication administration and other special services that need to be provided. I am currently employed full-time M-F and can be available to be with your pet before and after work, as well as on my lunch break. I am available during weekends to let pets out in 2-4 hour intervals. I walk my pet daily, and feed them twice a day. I also give my pets interactive projects (kong, lick mats, games) and play indoors when weather prevents us from going outside.

“This was our first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous having a stranger stay with our dogs and house but Abigail was truly amazing! She was responsive, reliable, and our dogs loved her. We will definitely be using her again!”


“Alyssa did great! We booked her for our wedding weekend where we didn’t know exactly what we would need help with. She was able to adjust as needed and work with us with patience and the pups loved her! She also left no trace of her visit. She is so personable and highly recommend!”


“Karissa owns two dogs and is very loving and cares for them deeply. Actively goes out of her way to help and tend to their needs. Is very understanding that she is dealing with other family's pets and that they are just as important as her own.”

“Stephanie was amazing with our dog. She sent us frequent updates while we were away which gave us great peace of mind and she was a great listener with all of the little details of our goofy (and sometimes challenging) dog. She cleaned up after any messes he made and got him a variety of types of exersize as well as making sure he ate his food. She let us know about any problems and asked us how we would like them handled if she hadn't already taken care of it. She even brought a toy for him! Stephanie was such a blessing and we will be inviting her back if we travel in the future.”


“Mary was great with Thor, our senior German Shepherd, while we were away for two nights. And he loved her too! She even took great care of our house.”


“She is very trusting and is very good with animals as she has some of here own. I would trust her with my pets if she was ever in town!”

“Elliot was so great with our two dogs and cat. They were extremely responsive and respectful of our home and I felt at ease the entire time. We couldn't have been happier knowing our pets were well taken care of!”


“Sarah is a very responsible sitter. The animals loved her!”


“I can't say enough great things about Rachel! She does a fantastic job taking care of my dog and cats while I go away on vacation. Not only does she keep my dog active and happy with daily walks, but she also gives my cats the play, attention, and care they need. My pets approach her with love whenever she arrives. Rachel goes above and beyond by sending regular updates and photos, which really puts my mind at ease. It is clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats mine like her own. I always come home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and I couldn't be more grateful. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely stick with booking her for future trips!”
