1. Sherry B.

“Sherry was amazing and I loved that she wanted to meet them before the visit making me more comfortable since I just started using rover. We will definitely be asking Sherry again when we need her. The kitties seemed to love her and I can’t thank her enough for helping us out while we are away”


2. Aly P.

“Aly has watched my cat Tux a couple of times while I've been out of town. He tends to get stressed out when I'm away, especially if he thinks he's not getting enough regular attention (which means, enough attention from someone he has decided that he likes). He's been in very good spirits every time I came back after Aly watches him, though -- high praise from a picky cat!”


3. Jade W.

“Jade was great with our senior cat Peanut. Communication and photos were fantastic. Jade kept us up-to-date on Peanuts activities and her schedule. Jade was also very accommodating with our crazy schedule. You could tell Jade has lots of love for animals of all kinds. Hope to use Jade again in the future.”


4. Jennifer & Michele S.

“Jennifer and Michelle are awesome! Louisa does very well with them. They are timely, flexible, and always make sure to use our commands, which is so helpful with training.”


5. Brittney C.

“Brittney is the best. She takes great care of my animals and gives them lots of love and attention. I get so many great pictures of them when I am gone and they are always very calm and happy when I get back. I never worry about them knowing that she is checking in on them.”


6. Ally K.

“Ally is terrific! She’s very responsive and our dogs love her. She was particularly accommodating when our plans changed at the last minute, and we were grateful for her flexibility. I highly recommend her and will definitely ask her to care for our dogs again!”


7. Colleen W.

“Colleen was a great pet sitter! My cat Cordelia needs medication twice a day, and can be quite difficult about it, but Colleen was persistent and was able to administer the meds properly. She also sent me plenty of photos while I was away. Cordy seemed very happy when I got home. I would definitely book her again in the future!”

About: I've loved dogs ever since I was a little girl and grew up with a black lab and golden retriever. I'm very comfortable with dogs of all sizes. And in recent years, I've had experience taking care of my grandfathers cat, so both feline and canine friends are welcome! Right now I want to make pet sitting my full time job. If you are a frequent traveler and do not want to board your dog or your schedule as gotten more busy than usual, I would love to help take care of your pet(s) while you are away. In my home and in others, I've always provided toys, treats, and whatever other items your pet loves to play with at times when the dog or cat can be entertained themselves for a little bit or supervised but most importantly I am able to anticipate their needs for taking them outside, playing, resting, feeding, and more. For their exercise and mine I love to walk them around any nearby park, hiking trail, town center, or whatever is around where you live! I also have experience with my own black lab & golden retriever in giving topical and oral medication for things such as tick/heart worm prevention, and ear infections.


14. Alassandra G.

“Alassandra is amazing! I have used her many times and she always takes such good care of my kitty. I know my cat will be happy and well cared for my Alassandra.”

16. Adam J.
About: I've had dogs my whole life. They're such a big part of me and I absolutely love meeting them. I'll follow any specifacation you may have for your dog. I love taking walks and playing with them. I will also feed additional pets that you may have or clean yards if needed. I am currently in college in the afternoon for an few hours on monday through thursday. I can stay at the owner's house if needed. However, I can also do visits to feed and let out if that is more comfortable for the owner. I often like to go on walk with dogs I am taking care of, they are always on the leash on these walks. I also enjoy going out in the yard to play with them. I am not opposed to crates.


17. Josh A.

“Josh has been amazing with our pups! We had an emergency and needed someone asap. Josh responded and accepted our request within minutes, for a next morning request. He took the time to learn each dog’s needs and is always very communicative during the visits. Our dogs are HUGEEEE, so it’s not easy to just trust anyone with them. I’d definitely recommend Josh to anyone and everyone. He’s our go to sitter!”


18. Hailey C.
About: Since childhood, dogs have been an integral part of my life, starting with two Pomeranians, followed by an energetic Shiba Inu named Akira, and a loving lab mix German Shepherd named Stella. Over the years, I've gained extensive experience caring for these pets—whether through cuddling, playing, feeding, walks, or adventures. I've also spent time teaching them tricks and handling their grooming needs. Earlier this year, I began offering overnight and day sitting services, along with walks, for friends on Rover, and later extended my services to family and other referrals. I focus on building strong bonds and trust with the animals I care for, tailoring our time together to ensure it's both enjoyable and enriching. I've worked with dogs ranging from 4-month-old puppies to older dogs aged 13-14, and have experience with both a kitten and an adult cat. My approach is patient, compassionate, and dedicated to meeting the unique needs of every animal I care for. I'm a makeup artist who works both on location and from home. With a flexible schedule, I currently have plenty of free time to spend with your dog! **Dog Walking**: I tailor each walk to the dog’s individual energy level, adjusting the pace and distance to ensure they get the right amount of exercise. I also provide opportunities for exploration while keeping safety in mind, and I’m attentive to any health considerations or special preferences they may have. **Overnight Sitting**: When staying in a client’s home, I prioritize the pet’s comfort and security by sticking to their regular routine as much as possible. This includes consistent feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and providing companionship to ease any anxiety, particularly during the night. In everything I do, my primary goal is to build trust with each pet, providing them with a safe, loving environment where they feel cared for and valued—whether I’m working in my own home or in a client’s.


19. Makenzie S.

“I am so happy I had Makenzie watching my kitten while I traveled for the holidays. She was on time, communicated perfectly (photos, videos, and real-time updates), and did everything I requested and more (feed, play time, clean, took out trash)! It brought me a lot of peace knowing my cat was being cared for so well all week and I am happy to have someone I can trust to visit my home. Looking forward to booking Makenzie for trips in the future! Makenzie—thank you so so much!!!!!”


20. Jennie P.

“Jennie is wonderful with dogs! She has cared for our dog and several of our friends dogs on many occasions over the last 10 years or so. She is reliable and spends time playing with the dogs, not just watching them. You can see she just loves being around them. I can't say enough good things about her, and I would highly recommend her if you are looking for someone responsible to help take care of your pet.”
