Kylie was awesome with our pets! She made time to come by beforehand to meet all of them and make sure she knew where everything was. We got pictures and updates with each visit to let us know what was going on and she communicated any issues or concerns. You can tell she really cares about the animals she’s watching and pays attention to their needs.

Beth helped me out when my sitter fell through and I was already out of town. She was able to jump in with barely any notice AND I cannot express how thankful I was for her flexibility to help me out on a holiday. My two dogs looked so happy in all of the picture updates she sent. I would definitely book again :)

Taylor was awesome. She arrived on time and took really good care of my four month old labrador puppy. The puppy phase is not easy and she has a lot of good training tips and advice. I feel like my dog is in good hands with Taylor. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her. We’ll be using her all the time.

He's really sweet to talk to in person and is very good with my dog, she gets super excited when she sees him! I would definitely recommend Jackson to anyone who needs their dogs taken care of 😊

Julie is fabulous! I am so very happy to have found her on Rover! I wanted someone who knew cats, who lived nearby, who did not charge an arm and a leg, who had a reasonable cancellation policy, and, of course, who was responsible. Well, I won the lottery with Julie! Yes, I did! Julie is fabulous, absolutely FABULOUS! From the very start (and throughout the entire time), Julie was fast to respond to my requests, my questions, my texts, etc. It was clear that she wanted to ensure we were on the same page, from the beginning, and that we remained on the same page throughout. Outstanding! And, since my schedule often changes, sometimes at the very last minute, her reasonable cancellation policy will not cause me to hesitate to enlist her services again and again. And, since my cat pretty much goes into hiding whenever I am away, caring for my cat becomes simple, easy, and quick - clean the litterbox, provide fresh food and water, then depart. Well, it was here that Julie went the extra mile. Julie washed out the food containers I use to store my cat's wet food, yet I had not asked her to do that! How very thoughtful and generous! Thank you so much, Julie! Thank you for being a FABULOUS cat sitter!

About: I have taken care of my own dog, neighbors dogs, and friend’s dogs for 10 years. I have walked Yorkies up to Irish wolf hounds! Any care I’m there! My Rover schedule is dependent on my part time work, usually I’m free 4 days a week. These 4 days I can work 24/7. Monthly my schedule will change from weekdays to weekends, with some variation. I can be an early riser or a night owl . I have experience with elderly , sick, hyper, and most temperaments of pets.Please trust I will treat your pet like my very own! Nothing will be more important than your pet while in my care, from 3 minutes or 4 hours.

My dog has gained a new friend. Geneive was kind and loving towards Nola. Giving her treats, feeding, and daily walks, really keeps Nola happy and in her routine. From all the pics and chats, Nola seemed to feel like her sitter was a part of the family. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to others. 🧡

About: I have raised my cat Frankie since she was 2 weeks old after finding her as an orphan in the woods. I bottle fed her every 3 hours for weeks and nursed her back from what vets that was almost a certain death situation. She is now thriving and 4 years old. Besides Frankie, I’ve had 2 other family cats as well and several barn cats. I’ve also had dogs by entire life including a sheltie, a shitzhu, a puggle, and 2 French bull dogs. I also ride horses competitively. I am completely flexible Monday, Friday and the weekends as I work from home these days. Tuesday-Thursday I can be available before 11 and after 3. I will be very diligent on walks to make sure dogs are safe and feel comfortable. I will also make sure all pets are fed appropriately and there is no mess. I love animals and will take the best of care of them.
