1. Jessi B.
“Jessi is my first Rover experience and I’m beyond delighted with how well it went. Jessi arrived on time and bonded immediately with my dog, Jake. Meanwhile, Jessi’s experience, kindness, and calm manner put me immediately at ease. Jessi listened closely to my instructions, gave me their perspective, and we confirmed we were on the same page with plans for the walk and exercise session, including the route they would take. Jake is a large and energetic Standard Poodle, although with excellent leash manners, and Jessi had no problems or concerns handling him. Jake was delightedly leaping around Jessi on their return, and Jessi shared great photos and a helpful report of their walk. I do hope to use Jessi again and frequently ahead. Also, Jessi is a super talented pet photographer!”

3. Felicia B.
“Felicia has been such a help! My dog Finn absolutely loves her and she is just so easy to work with. I work from home but unfortunately don’t get a lot of down time to walk my pup. She is always willing to make herself available and is happy to accommodate my ever changing schedule. I can’t recommend her enough! Her professionalism and kindness is unmatched. 10/10 would recommend!”
4. Alyssa R.
“Alyssa is a wonderful pet owner and caregiver. She's a caring individual sure to meet your loving pet's needs. With two cats of her own, she never struggles to provide them the care and love they deserve. Sometimes I think she loves them more than me. She's also an active member of the stray cat community and cares for them as she can. She works with animals in her career as a Mental Health Therapist that provides equine therapy. She is surrounded by horses, cats, dogs, chickens, and donkeys on a daily basis! She is knowledgeable, empathetic, and the perfect person to keep your furry friends company.”

6. Savannah T.
“Savannah has a true passion for animals. She has been working in the pet industry for the last couple of years, but has been caring for and training pets since she was a child. She has educated herself on strategies to help pets achieve desired behaviors and studied their behavior so that they are comfortable with her. She has trained several dogs of her own and treats them like cherished children. Any pet in Savannah's care will be in good hands.”
7. Brooke S.

8. Darlene G.

12. Rachel M.
“Rachel has loved and cared for animals since she was a little girl. She has had all kinds of reptiles, fish, birds, dogs, cats, and used to work in a stable caring for farm animals for many years. Her childhood screen name was always “creaturegirl” and she was always bringing home stray animals and nursing them back to health. She is also an amazing plant parent and has always been great at diagnosing and caring for the needs of living things. She is responsible and can follow any care instructions provided. I would recommend her to care for any pet.”
13. Tamara A.
About: I do not have any professional experience other than taking a pet grooming class and pet-sitting for friends throughout college; however, I do have a lot of personal experience treating pets for ailments after taking care of my childhood pet until his final days as well as another cat who passed from an autoimmune disease. I have a lot of empathy and love for animals and having to take care of my own pets for years has allowed me to comfortably handle pet behavior and take caution with their ailments. I have had to give my pets many a bath and administer many a medication (ex: giving my aging diabetic cat insulin twice a day every day for years). I’m very clean and respectful of other’s spaces. I love playing with pets and I also respect owners wishes for their pets treatment and training. I am currently working as a catering cook for a catering business and I am about to go back to university in the fall. My catering job can be inconsistent when it comes to scheduling - some weeks are jam-packed while others are very light hours wise. I’m looking to make some extra money on the side when I’m available for a week. I’m a homebody and I don’t really travel much so I’m sure I’ll be available weekends to house sit or watch/walk a pet ! My availability will differ week to week but once I make a commitment to something I stick with it ! I am an extremely clean person. I get jokes all the time about my « OCD » levels of cleanliness but hey I mean I’m not looking to change it. Working in the BOH in kitchens has made me no stranger to cleaning up messes or simply keeping a space clean. When I am a guest in someone’s home I treat the space as if it were my own and I keep it clean and tidy. I can assure you I would leave it better than I found it. I have been the it girl as well when it comes to watering friend’s plants when they are out of town!
14. Savannah W.
“Savannah is a very caring, reliable, and loving pet sitter. She has taken care of my dog, who is like my child, many times and we all love her! She will make sure your pets have everything they need, get lots of snuggles, and are safe and cozy. I truly can't recommend Savannah enough, she is the best!”
15. Storm G.
“Storm is great with our dog! When we get home, our girl is always happy and well taken care of. I appreciate Storm’s consistent communication and all the great pictures. We will definitely book Storm again!”
16. Erin A.
“There is no one who loves dogs more than Erin! She is definitely an animal person and has a connection with every pet she meets. She is a trustworthy petsitter, and your pets are garunteed to have not only amazing care, but truly feel loved while you're gone. I highly recommend Erin as a petsitter, my dogs LOVE when she comes to visit!”
17. Lilly B.
“She is super consistent and reliable! We love having her help!”
18. Lucy C.
“Lucy was great! She came over to meet my dogs before the day she would be coming to pet sit. One of my dogs has been known to be afraid of strangers when we're not home. She was able to give both of my dogs potty breaks and she updated me when she was finished at my house. 5 stars!!”
19. Avonlea K.
“Avonlea is an awesome person to have watch your dog. My dog bama has stayed with her multiple times and he loves staying with Avonlea. She is helpful, communicative & great to work with. I highly recommend working with her & having her watch your fur baby.”
20. Kelli K.
“Kelli was so attentive with my pup! I really love how detailed her report cards are, and how caring she is to any potential problems. Really grateful for her flexibility in scheduling as well!”
