“Amanda was such a sweet caregiver for our fur baby. She was punctual for visits, attentive to our cat’s needs, and thorough with following any instructions provided.

“I needed a last minute sitter and Elizabeth came through. My dogs looked happy when I came home and I was able to enjoy my evening knowing my dogs were well cared for. Highly recommend.”


About: All dogs seem to love me and gravitate towards me. I always know how to treat them even if they are a little skittish. I think I’d be a great fit. After work I am free always after 4 pm and on the weekends I can walk anytime for the most part, I think this is a great part time gig for me since I love dogs. I am extremely careful always keeping an eye on them and making sure they are not getting into anything that they should not be getting into.

“Laura was absolutely great!! She took the effort to meet me a few times prior, so we could practice and learn how to do my cat's inhaler therapy and she was able to consistently do it for him this time! Very very pleased with the outcome!”


“Frida was great! She watched our cats for over a week, they tend to be shy but warmed up to her and let her pet and play with them by the end. We appreciated the updates and photos she shared as well :)”


“Sarah did such a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Jonathan. He is usually anxious when we leave him, but he warmed up to Sarah right away! The pictures and updates she sent helped us to relax and enjoy while we were away, knowing our kitty was in great hands. We would absolutely recommend Sarah!!!”



“Kate took such great care of Madeline! I received daily updates and pictures to give me peace of mind! Kate was such a HUGE help when she was able to extend my booking for another day last minute when my flight was cancelled so my pet was taken care of! You can tell she truly cares and loves what she does! I highly recommend!!”


“Ruth did a great job connecting with our cats, Tigger and Prince. Right when she walked in the door they felt completely at ease and came right up to meet her. So happy we were able to find her! She was so helpful this past weekend with dropping in to visit with them and she made sure to update us on how everything was going. She made the time to learn more about them and their routine, so that she could give them the best possible care. We definitely felt at ease having her with them while we were away. If you have cats, or dogs, that need watching, I would recommend her in a heart beat! We will definitely be requesting her services again! Thanks Ruth!”


“Yana took good care of our boy while we were away. I enjoyed seeing the photos she sent and hearing the updates of each visit. She communicated well while we were gone and made us feel at ease while we were gone.”


“I was very hesitant to use rover for the first time but Michael was very kind and answered all of my questions. He really took the time to learn about my pups and make sure they were happy while I was away. They warmed up to him quickly and let out their crazy side. I felt like we were in constant contact so I knew my dogs were being well taken care of which really took a weight off my shoulders. He even went above and beyond by sweeping up the dog hair which with a Great Pyrenees at home really builds up fast. I am so happy with how everything went and will definitely be using Michael again in the future. It was truly a great experience and I can’t thank Michael enough he really did and amazing job!!!”
