“We had great experience with Stephanie. She’s super responsible and genuinely caring to our cat Coffee. She paid attention to all the details and kept us updated regularly, which really helped us feel at ease while we were away. We felt completely reassured knowing our cat was in good hands.”

“I just returned home and it usually takes Lola some time to warm up to me, she came right out and has been calm. I loved how Felisha contacted me and even took photos of Lola. Thank you so much, Felisha!”

“Megan is an excellent communicator and is always on time. I can tell my dogs are getting her undivided attention when she is here with them. She always sends photos of each visit which puts my dog mom heart at ease. So happy to have her as our weekly dog sitter.”

“I had a short-notice quick trip and Samantha was able to respond and take care of my pets. Her service has been great from the start and this time was no exception.”
“Anna has been absolutely exceptional with our dogs! We’ve been using her for a few months now, and she is extremely responsible and gets back to us very quickly. She provides great feedback and we couldn’t feel more lucky to have her taking care of our babies.”

“Thank you so much for taking great care of my fur babies. I truly appreciate the communication and the love you provided to them. Dora was fast at communicating with me, came to mee the dogs before the booking and always kept in touch during her care. She played and spent time with them every visit. Thanks so much Dora, I will definitely be looking forward to book you again when needed.”


“Scott was awesome. So grateful that he stopped in to care for my dogs. He was hired for 4 days. Had very good communication. Took photos every day. My dogs looked very happy and well cared for.”

“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.”

“Gabriela is a great rover! She is always on time and updates her rover card. Bucky seems to love her, and I appreciate her consistency and flexibility with my schedule!”

“Mackenzie was wonderful! We could tell by the photos that both cats enjoyed her visits. One of our cat is a bit of a princess and didn't eat her first two meals. Mackenzie called to report the issue right away and I assure her that the cat would be fine as long as she got her meds!”
“Stevie is very professional and has an obvious love of animals. She has given us such piece of mind when we have to be away longer than is good for our puppy. We highly recommend Stevie.”


About: I currently care for my own pets, Sesame and Puffy, so I have daily experience with feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m used to paying attention to behavior, routines, and making sure pets are well cared for. I’m reliable, patient, and take pet care seriously. I’m also comfortable following specific instructions to match each pet’s needs. I am currently working part time flexible positions so pet care would fit perfectly into my current routine and schedule allowing me to do drop ins and walks. I care for my pets by treating them like family. Loving them and making sure they are protected. I also spend time playing, giving treats, and walking them.
“Kelsey was wonderful with my cat, Luna! I left for 6 days and Kelsey was great about coming around the same time, spending quality time with Luna during her visit and even went above and beyond by bringing in my trash can and stopping a beeping fire alarm! I would definitely book with Kelsey again. She sent lots of photos and gave me updates each day!”

“Megan was fantastic! She was on top of her messages and got back right away, did a meet and greet with Koko ahead of time to make sure they were a good fit, and took good care of him (and lots of adorable pictures) while she was over at the house! Koko was happy , and so were we! Peace of mind. Thanks, Megan, for taking care of our baby.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little kid, and I haven’t taken care of a cat recently but I used to as well. I can feed, bathe, take out, give medicine, etc. I did just get a new job so I’m still working out my schedule but I’m completely available on weekends for sure as of right now! Anything else would need to be planned ahead. Every pet is different and some need more or different care than others. When it comes to giving them the environment they need, I’ll do anything to achieve it. Anything I can do to help make them comfortable, or make a pet parent comfortable, I’ll do.

Pontiac pet parents share their Rover experiences
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. ❤️
