“Norman showed up with great energy & care for our first time with him sitting. Page loves to see him & Norman stays in touch throughout the day with good awareness to tune in for needs for me & pup while I was away.”


“Troy and Shalah were wonderful. We had a bit of a mix up with the booking and they were extremely flexible and took great care of my skittish and crazy dog. I would definitely use them again.”


“Leah is a wonderful cat sitter! She took great care of our two cats. It is a unique situation because they stay in different parts of the house, but she handled it like a pro!

“Ruth is AMAZING! She stayed in our home while we were out of town and our pup loved her. He is normally very nervous of people. Additionally, without even asking, she sent us numerous pictures of our pup during the day, confirming his meal times and that he was happy and having a good time. This proactivity really is awesome because it put us at ease and begging for pictures makes me feel like a crazy pup mom haha. Additionally, I told her when our flight was landing and when she could leave, and she voluntarily stayed longer to make sure our pup wasn't alone too long. She rocks! I would highly recommend Ruth to anyone!”


“Giana was such a great help to us when we had an impromptu over night trip. She was very communicative and sent so many pictures of our Shiloh! I would absolutely recommend booking with her and I can guarantee your pet will be happy too!”



“Susan was absolutely amazing!! I have 3 pups that do not do well staying out when we are away. Susan took wonderful care of them and our house while we were away. She sent several updates each day on how they were doing, along with pictures. She is very thorough and truly loves all animals. I won't ever leave my pups with anyone else!”


About: I had many types of animals growing up, including cats and dogs. As an adult, I had a cat named Ava and a dog named Elphie. I rescued Ava from a local shelter, and she lived to be 20 years old. I raised Elphie from a puppy. She crossed the Rainbow Bridge at age 16. I have experience caring for both young and senior animals and experience administering medications. I am a mom to twins and a local teacher. During the school year I am able to care for pets in the evenings and on weekends. During the summer my availability is much more open. I love all of the animals that I care for as if they were my own. Cats and dogs are the most wonderful pets. They provide us with years of cuddles and laughter.


“We are new to the country and Rover app . Therefore had fair share of doubts with regard to leaving our pet Madder . Our experience with Emma has rested all our doubts. Her skills, smiling and affable demeanor instantly lifted our spirits and our confidence bounced right back. Emma updated us with pics and videos of our pet and her reassuring words made our day out, stress free and delightful. We look forward to her services again. Thank you Emma and team Rover .”


“Abigail sat for us while we were away briefly. Really good experience. She's very nice, was on time, kept us informed and sent pictures. Our dogs seemed very happy and were able to keep to their routine, and importantly, they like her very much. Highly likely to have her sit or pop in again soon.”


“Kelsey was so great sitting for my dog when I was on vacation for a week! She met and exceeded my expectations. I’d love to use her again in the future and highly recommend her for any service :) THANK YOU!!!”


About: I have experience with big and small dogs, including seniors and dogs with anxiety and special needs. I know each dog is different and will make sure your pup has their needs met! I’m very attentive and diligent and will take care to follow any specific instructions you have. I communicate a lot and tend to give plenty of updates. I currently have no pets of my own but I used to have a large dog and learned a lot through experience and working with multiple trainers during that time. I’m very available to sit or walk as needed right now as I’m taking a break from my corporate job to explore other paths. Willing to be flexible! I have no other pets or dependents so I will be fully dedicated to your pup. I always keep safety first especially as a former reactive dog owner, and I will always be respectful of your property.

About: I'm an enthusiastic animal-lover who is dedicated to giving your pup or cat the exceptional care they deserve :) I have 2 years of experience caring for dogs and over 4 years of experience caring for cats! My approach is to always lead with gentleness, respect, and understanding for your pet's cues. Available and excited to dog-walk, house-sit or do drop-ins. I'm flexible, communicative, and always willing to work out a plan or schedule that feels good to you! I specifically have experience providing care for senior dogs with mobility issues, hearing & sight loss, and special dietary needs. While living with a friend, I helped look after their senior family dog and became very comfortable with feeding/motivating her to eat, assisting in her movement, and ensuring her general comfort. I love working with all kinds of dogs, and my experience caring for an elderly dog has made me particularly attentive and well-equipped to provide extra patience & accommodations. I currently work two part-time jobs with flexible hours, so I have a good amount of down-time to dedicate to loving on your pets! My available days are currently Mondays (anytime after 2pm), Tuesdays (anytime), Fridays (anytime after 1pm), and Saturdays (anytime). I will always follow and respect your preferences and guidelines for pet care! I'm a great listener & learner, and I take care & safety instructions very seriously.

About: I have had dogs all of my life and I see them as a part of my family. I love other people's dogs as well and am reliable and caring. I am retired and have lots of free time!! I look forward to helping you care for your beloved dog(s) while you are away!! Thanks!! I will care for your pets and treat your home like my own which is clean and tidy. I will respect you home as well.

Catherine M.
“Cat has watched my dog, Oscar, numerous times, and she does such an amazing job. Oscar’s anxiety from me leaving him is much less apparent when Cat watches him. When I get home from a trip, he’s not as anxious. He also squeals with happiness when she comes through the door. It’s so sweet, and it’s such a relief to know that he’s so comfortable with her. I highly recommend Cat for your fur child :)”


Adrian W.
“Adrian (Rachel) is one of the most reliable pet-sitters I've ever worked with! Their love for animals and their dedication to providing the best service makes it so easy to recommend them for Rover. Not only does Adrian care for your pets as if they were their own, they also go the extra mile to make sure your home is a clean and comfortable environment for your pets. During longer stays, Adrian has picked up small tasks without being asked, like taking out the trash when they notice it's been a while, or washing the dishes if the sink is full. Adrian is also a proactive communicator, letting you know how your pets are doing day to day, and spending extra time to stay and play or hang out with your pets to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Adrian is respectful of your privacy and your home, and treats your pets with love and attention. I highly recommend Adrian as a pet caregiver!”
