“Felisha was amazing. My cats generally hide from everyone and one of them was out and interacting with her each time she came. She took amazing photos and left great check-in notes. She also was not phased by my last minute request to administer medication due to finding out my cat required a few weeks of antibiotics only a few days before we left. Would recommend Felisha to everyone and will definitely hire her again!”

“Samantha has been doing drop ins with my dog for a couple of weeks now. She's been great, my dog loves her and is so comfortable with her, which is a relief as a mum of an anxious dog. She followed all my instructions and requests to the T, and has been flexible and accommodating to my changing schedule which is a great plus.”


“Scott goes the extra mile to make sure our skittish cat is well taken care of. She is afraid of everyone - but she has warmed up to Scott. I highly recommend Scott - he’s an excellent pet sitter!”

“Megan was great for our two dogs! She was so detailed with her visits and sent us lots of pictures (mostly of our dogs lounging on the couch, because that's what they love to do!) She made us feel so comfortable knowing our dogs were being well taken care of! I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with 15 years of experience caring for my own dog and 12 years of dog-sitting for friends and neighbors. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing loving, dependable care tailored to their individual needs. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medications, special diets and subcutaneous fluids, and understand the extra patience and attention they may require. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I work remotely from home and have a very flexible schedule most days of the week. I'm available to walk the dog at least 4 times a day and take care of all additional needs throughout the day. I care for pets in a client's home exactly to the owner's specifications. I follow the same schedule/routine that the dog is used to, so they can easily adjust to my presence.
About: Hello, my name is Tosha! As a lifelong animal lover and sitter for 3+ years, I understand your pet is family. From energetic hikes with big dogs to quiet cuddles with shy cats, I ensure they're happy and safe. I'm experienced with meds, complex feeding schedules, and love creating fun, safe adventures for pets, just like I would for my own 3 cats and 2 dogs. Let's chat about giving your furry friend the best care! :) I work a standard 8 am-5 pm job, Monday through Friday. I don't mind staying the night during weekdays. I also do not mind coming before work in the morning to show love and care for your pets, as well as coming over after work for as long as you need. The weekends I'm free 24/7. I view pet care as a privilege that requires both a compassionate heart and a vigilant eye. My approach is rooted in providing a 'home-away-from-home' experience where your pet feels safe, seen, and truly loved. I don’t just offer supervision; I offer companionship. By honoring their unique personality and strictly following their established routines, I ensure they remain happy and stress-free while you are away. Your pet’s safety is my priority, and their happiness is my passion.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs and cats all my life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and I understand the importance of patience, care, attention and responsibility our fur babies deserve. As a medical student I balance my academic responsibilities carefully and I am highly organized to make sure every pet receives attention, exercise and companionship during my visits. I run and walk in safe areas, if the owner is comfortable in certain area I would definitely compromise and be where the dog parent is happiest.
“This was my first time using Rover, and I had a wonderful experience with Stephanie. She is a genuinely kind and caring pet sitter. Very conscientious, sending lots of pictures and updates while we were gone and very sweet with my cats. I knew they would be in good hands, and they were. Thank you, Stephanie.”

“Samantha met us and our pets ahead of time for a meet and greet, was punctual and followed all directions, and sent a picture with a quick update at the end of her visit. Thanks for making it possible to get away for a stress-free evening!”
“Meagan showed our pets the most patience ,love and compassionate. She went up and beyond expectations when my pets misbehaved with accidents while we were gone. She is punctual and takes the best pictures. My pets loved her. She has allowed us to travel and know that our pets are in the best hands....hers❤️ I Highly recommend her ❤️”

Mandy was excellent with our senior, blind dog. She sent pictures, and she cuddled and pet our little baby. Our dog lost his mom suddenly (my mother in law). We needed the sitter for her celebration of life. He has been sad and trying to adjust to my home and routines. Mandy made him feel loved and we also appreciated that. ❤️
