“Ann was great with our cats. We appreciated her quick communication, professionalism, and prompt updates. Also, thank you for bringing in our packages!! Our shmittens aren’t the friendliest but Ann even got some pets in. We are grateful we found Ann!”
“Michael was great! Our pup has some aggression and resource guarding and I was nervous about using a service. Michael’s calm demeanor put him at ease immediately. We will definitely be asking Michael to check-in and walk our pup again!”
“Nicholas was very professional and reliable. He was attentive to detail and managed a complex senior dog. I would highly recommend him. Excellent communication Thank you Nicholas for taking such great care of Darwin and Hazelnut!”
“We went on a 4 week vacation and this was the first time working with Liz - she was wonderful! Responsible, photos everyday, and she wasn’t afraid to get covered in our meow’s fur ;) To our delight, we not only returned to a kitty who was completely relaxed & happy (he normally gives us attitude like he’s punishing us for leaving), but also a clean, fur free home (normally after 1 day there is fur everywhere - it was so nice to not have this added stress upon our arrival). We will definitely use Liz again… THANK YOU LIZ!”
“Leah was prompt with her check in and check out times and continually sent us pictures from each visit and an update as to what she did. On her initial visit to meet our 2 cats, one of our cats was a little moody that day and wasn't interested in meeting Leah. But by the second day Leah told us that that particular cat was her new "bestie". The cats were well cared for and everything was done that was noted to be done.”
“I highly recommend Katy. She is reliable and trustworthy. We never worry about our pet or home with Katy. Thank you so much for always taking such good care of us. We appreciate all you do for us.”
About: Mario: I have owned a dog for a majority of my life, from small to big sized dogs. I have owned pure bred and rescues throughout my life, every dog deserves a good home. My favorite dog is the Boston Terrier and I have owned 3 in recent years. I have experience with caring for older dogs and raising pups. My last Boston became sick with a neurological problem which provided me experience with giving daily medicines and changing her diaper multiple times a day. Since her passing, I have adopted two more Boston Terriers. Yoshi is a 2.5year old boy with a quirky personality who loves to give kisses and cuddle at night. Most recent addition to my home is an 8 month old girl named Mochi. Both of my pups are dog friendly, they love going to the dog park to run around and play. I have watched over my brother's 80 pound husky/cattle mix, my parents mixed rescue from a puppy mill, and friend's fur babies in the past. I provided plenty of stimulation with toys, bones, walks, dog parks and general play time of tug of war, fetch, etc. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby and promise to love them like my own!!! Mario: I work full time on a hybrid schedule. I work from home 2-3 days a week; when I do go to the office I am gone from 7am-4:45pm. My dogs eat in the morning then go for a walk to take care of business before I leave for work. When I work from home, I have more flexibility to take the dogs out for more walks or to the dog park (weather permitting). After I come home from work the dogs are fed and taken for another walk; my two dogs keep each other busy, either playing tug-a-war or keep away of their favorite toy. I will also play these games and fetch if they want me to but they tire each other out way better than I ever could. I have a small fenced in patio with grass area for them to do their business, I let the dogs out whenever they want to. I have a small fenced in patio (4ft high fence) with an astro-turf area for the dogs to go potty. I provide a loving and safe environment at my home for my two pups and would do the same for yours. I provide plenty of toys and treats for good behavior, using positive reinforcement. I do crate our dogs when I leave, your dog doesn't necessarily need to be crated if they are well behaved. My pups also sleep in our bed, I would accommodate you to the best of my abilities on the structures and rules your pup has already in place.
About: I have been walking dogs and dog sitting for roughly 10 years now. I’ve stayed overnight and would house sit for people too. Though I have spent a lot of time caring for family and friends pets in my area, I would love to expand and care for your pets too! I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of free time during the week for drop in visits and dog walks and whatever else needs to be taken care of. In my home, I have a fenced in yard for my golden-doodle with lots of room to run around. He is very friendly with everyone he meets and loves having play dates with other puppies.
“Cassandra did a great job dropping-in on my dogs. She made sure they were happy and fed and provided through updates including photos. I would definitely have her take care of my pet in the future.”
About: I’ve had my own golden doodle for 2 years but grew up with dogs for last 28 years! I love my dogs as if they’re my kids. I am very loving and intuitive to dogs needs. We also have a 2 year old doodle who is a great companion to other dogs if running around a backyard or playing tug o war is something you’d want more of in your pups life!! I work full time but I am able to work from home on Fridays. So I’m mostly available evenings, Fridays, and I’m usually a home body most weekends. I am very intuitive to what dogs want and need. During walks, I always keep an eye out for other dogs/people and avoid approaching them as necessary.
“Liz was a wonderful care giver and friend to our two cats while we were away. Spent a lot of time during her visits and made sure everything was taken care of with food, water and litter boxes. Gave them so much love as well. We could relax and enjoy our trip knowing they were in very good hands. We definitely recommend her services. :)”
“Paige is amazing! She’s so friendly & is such a reliable and responsive dog sitter. We could always count on her and she was so flexible when our schedule would change last minute. Was a huge relief knowing she was there to take care of our 2 year old mini bernedoodle & give her love and cuddles. Would highly recommend!!”
About: Neighbors, friends and family have trusted me to care for their dogs since I was a kid. I’m an interactive care taker that will ensure your pup is healthy and happy while away! I’m currently working most days from home, so my schedule allows flexibility within means. I am available week day evenings after 5:30pm and open availability most weekends. I have two cats myself and experience with dogs, puppies and kittens. Happy to fit your needs and preferences that will make your pet the most comfortable!
About: I’ve grown up around all sorts of animals and have experience taking care of cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, fish, and more! I’m quick to learn and follow routines. I also have experience with giving medicine and treatments to animals. I am currently working as a teacher in the suburbs and have availability before and after school hours; this could be drop in visits or overnights. I also have all day availability on Saturdays and Sundays. **For the summer I am available every day, any hours. I unfortunately do not have the flexibility or availability of having cats and dogs in my home, but I am more than willing to follow a routine and provide play and care in yours!
About: As a dedicated and experienced dog lover, I offer a safe and nurturing environment for your furry baby. Having a Shih Tzu named Lady of my own and a Yorkie who was blind and had diabetes and required insulin shots on a daily basis and sadly passed away. My experience has given me a deep understanding of the patience and specific attention some dogs require. As a stay at home empty nester, your furry baby will receive the utmost attention and companionship it deserves. In my home every furry baby is part of the family. I live in a single family home with a huge fenced in yard. They are free to roam in my house, no restrictions, just fun!
“Emma did a great job watching our dog and cats while we were out of town! She showed up on time for all the check-ins, which was such a relief to know their routine was being kept up. She sent lots of pictures and I could see all the animals loved her, even our skittish cat came out to get some love!”
“Aidan is great with my Ollie! Appreciate his drop-ins and know my pup is in good hands. Very responsive and flexible. Always appreciate his photos of my pup from his visit. :)”

Jamie O.
“Jamie has taken care of my cats over the years. I trust her with my cats more than any other person. She is kind, caring and trustworthy. Not only does she feed and play with them, but she cleans their litter boxes every day, so they are happy. When she plays with them, not only as a group but individually as well. They love her and after play time they cuddle with her. She treats them like she would her own. She spends lots of time with them, so they don't miss me as much when I have to be gone. I've also had a dog and she was so kind and patient with him, he was a rescue and was not trained very well in the beginning, Jamie worked with him for hours and now he is such a sweet guy. He doesn't come when called but he sits when told and you can go get him. I guess he will never learn to come, but our way works thanks to Jamie.”

I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received during the 30-minute check-in! The sitter was punctual, attentive, and experienced with feline personalities. Ann ensured my cat was fed and played with, and even sent adorable photo updates that gave me total peace of mind. She genuinely cares about animals, and my cat warmed up to her instantly. Highly recommend—will book again! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Arielle is a fantastic sitter who I highly recommend to anyone. She was very attentive to my Boxer's needs, checked in often and provided updates consistently. Communication was never an issue and I never worried that my dog was not being taken care of. Thanks Arielle!

Was a huge relief knowing she was there to take care of our 2 year old mini bernedoodle & give her love and cuddles. Would highly recommend!!
This is our second time having Ellie watch our cats and we were out of the country this time. She made us feel so much more comfortable being far away. She sends updates, pictures, and spends extra special time with each of our kitties. She's ama
Julianna was amazing! She is very communicative and was so understanding of our crazy schedule. She was so sweet to our dogs and provided them cuddles and pets. She even read to them and sent us pictures everyday! She was on time with the visits and was respectful of our home. She made our pups happy and safe, which gave us the peace of mind to have a fun vacation. 10/10!
Nelli is great!! Our dog Arnie gets so excited to see her and she takes great care of him. She’s flexible and helpful when Arnies needs change a bit. For example she was able to get him to wear shoes for a few walks when his feet had blisters. We definitely trust her with caring for Arnie!
Elle dropped in on Cubby a few times when we needed help. She was absolutely awesome with Cubby, very gentle and genuine. Her care and passion for dogs truly came out when we saw the photos she took. She was on-time, followed all instructions to ensure Cubby's routine wasn't interrupted. She kept us informed throughout the process of her visit. I would highly recommend Elle for any Rover service!
Jessica was absolutely incredible with our cats. From the very beginning I knew we were in good hands. She was attentive, punctual, amazing with our cats, and sent lots of pictures and updates while we were away. It was a pleasure an I will absolutely be booking with Jessica again.
