“Wendy is such a genuinely nice person. She was on time and sent a nice picture of our dog enjoying her time outside. Highly recommend Wendy! We are re-booking several times over the fall season already!”
“Kristin is absolutely phenomenal! Very good in communication and meeting my pets needs! Would absolutely recommend to anyone needing assistance with their dog or cat”
“Met Haleigh for a meet and greet introduction for our bird. She was great and comfortable with our feathered family. We’ll certainly be booking her in the future.”
“Alena is very helpful with the dropin visits and much appreciated. Great with our dog Stella. Keeps you posted if any issues and keeps us updated with pics and texts through the Rover app. Would highly recommend her services. Thank you again.”
“Breinne was awesome! She was so sweet and easy to communicate with. Our old pup was safe & well taken care of. We appreciate Breinne’s dedication & kindness!”
“Stacey got the job done and was attentive with my cat. She went above and beyond. We didn't realize her vet would be closed the day before Thanksgiving and we were unable to get a refill on her prescription that she takes twice a day. Stacey called the vet the day after Thanksgiving and picked it up for us. She really came through in a pinch and we felt great that she was the one caring for our gal. We highly recommend her”
About: I like to come to pets home so they are comfortable and don't have to be uprooted. I can feed them,walk them and play with them all in the comfort of their own home. I work part time so I have plenty of time for your dogs needs and they get extra i time on my 3 days off. I will be there to let them out, walk them and feed them and give lots of love in the comfort of their own home
“Teresa was great! She kept me in the loop with my babies (kitties) while we were gone; she even washed their food bowls! I really appreciate that she was willing and able to help it with such short notice.”
“Jasmine is AMAZING!!! We have 4 HIGH energy dogs with separation anxiety and we, ourselves, have mad anxiety about leaving them alone for any period of time. She was open to helping us scent-train our dogs to learn her smell before coming over. And she was also open to both meeting us and doing a trial visit before we booked out a longer trip. On the day of the actual visit, she was SO communicative + helpful the entire time. Plenty of pictures and the pups who are wary of strangers, LOVE HER. We are so relieved to have found the perfect dog sitter for our babies and can rest-easy knowing they will be in her care while we’re gone. Book her!!!”
“Excellent care !!! She was wonderful. I would have her again for my 2 yorkies.”
“Cassandra was great! My pups can be hyper when meeting new people, and one sometimes has anxiety, but Cassandra was understanding and calm when dealing with them. She took the time to ask great questions to learn about our pups and their wants and needs, as well as getting to know us and our preferences. We look forward to working with her again.”
About: I grew up around many pets, big and small, cats and dogs plus everything in between. I’m an athletic person so long dog walks are awesome. I have a senior dog of my own that just recently passed whom I took care of all her medical needs. I am available weekdays after 12 most days and available at whatever time on weekends! I can do multiple stops a day if needed as well! I will do a walk through of the home and pets care before taking over and ensure that all their requirements are met. Will stick to the fur babies feeding and walk schedule!
“Lindsay was fantastic. I think she might have just become our fur babies BFF. Great communication and extremely punctual and thorough. Will absolutely use her again.”
“Shada is awesome! She was able to drop in on my dogs at the last minute, and she went above and beyond to make sure they got well taken care of!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie. We have used Rover several times Jacksonville and in Maryland. We thought we would never find another like our Katherine of Pasadena, MD. Stephanie went far above anything we could have asked for in a care giver for our fur babies. You can see the love Stephanie has for animals and she takes her commitment to her clients very seriously. She will forever be our go-to sitter. Thank you for being a true animal lover.”
“I can’t think of a more loving and capable caregiver than Brittany! Brittany did an amazing job with my Scarlett! My dog took a liking to Brittany immediately and she just connected with her so well. Brittany was extremely communicative, friendly, and very professional. We will be using Brittany regularly in the future for all our pet caregiving needs, and we would recommend her to anyone!”
About: Between the two of us, we have over 25 years of animal care experience, with over half of that coming in a professional setting. We are both former zookeepers that know all the ins-and-outs of animal behavior. Additionally, Erin worked at a vet hospital for over 10 years. You will have peace of mind knowing we can handle any situation thrown our way, whether it be administering meds, difficult behavior issues, and any other special circumstance. We both work full-time M-F and get off at 2:30. We live 5 mins from our work so can be home quickly. Your pup must be comfortable spending those days in a crate/kennel (if they have destructive tendencies or are not potty trained). If we determine that your pup is able to, we are more than happy to let them have access to the house when we are gone to play with our dog Rudy. Your pup will have lots of opportunities to play and go on walks and get cuddles as we will be home for the remainder of each day your pup stays with us. For weekend stays, your pup will never be in a crate as we will be home all day and giving him/her lots of playtime and cuddles. We love going for long walks, the dog park, hiking, and the beach, and your dog would come along with us if you would like. We also have a fully fenced in back yard that is sizeable enough for plenty of playtime with our dog Rudy or a game of fetch. We have plenty of toys, enrichment, and can even work on training to keep your pup stimulated throughout their stay with us.
“Alora was great with our fur babies. She sent updates each time she dropped in and sent pictures to fill me in. Her feedback was specific so that we knew how each dog was doing. Will definitely contact to use her again.”
About: I have had pets for my entire adult life, starting with cats and then eventually dogs. I am highly energetic and would love to care for your pets as if they were my own! I am recently retired from teaching for 30 years so my time is very flexible! But don’t be misled, I am quite vibrant and energetic. I can easily care for your dogs in my own home or yours. I have ample room for crates, a great neighborhood to walk in and a dog run at my own home. I am also very happy to come to your home to sit/walk.
About: Caring for dogs is more than a job to me because it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve grown up around dogs and have had three of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime at the park, or just extra cuddles, I go the extra mile to make sure each pup is happy and well cared for. I also love keeping owners in the loop with regular photo updates, so they always know their dog is safe and loved. Dogs truly hold a special place in my heart! I work full time, but the great news is, I work from home, which means I have the flexibility to take breaks throughout the day to care for your dog, give them attention, take them on walks, and make sure all their needs are met. I’m available on weekdays from early morning to late evening, typically between 6 AM and 10 PM, so I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, and playtime whenever it’s needed. I care for pets in my own home and my client's home. I care for pets in my own home because I have a fully fenced-in yard, giving your dog a safe space to play and relax. I also have a friendly dog of my own who loves having company, which means your pup will have both companionship and supervision.
