“Melissa was great w my pup!! This was my first time using the Rover app so I was nervous but she kept me updated w pictures which was great! Will definitely use Melissa again!”


“Anya has been amazing! She consistently communicated and made sure to send lots of pictures. She always came on time and made sure my cats were fed and cared for! Also, she played with the cats as much as possible. She made our kitties feel safe and happy while we were away!”


“Whitney is punctual, dependable and very kind to our animals. She completes all tasks as required and goes above and beyond. This is our first time using the service and we are thrilled. we will continue to use Whitney and the Service in the future, and look forward to a long time relationship with her.”


“Kimberly and John are incredible. They have watched our 3 babies for both of our vacations this summer. They are great at communicating, take wonderful care of our pups, and we always come home to 3 happy and wagging tails. They were even nice enough to bring in our mail and left little treat bags for the puppies on the last visit. It's important that we leave our dogs in the care of someone that will give the dogs the love and attention they need. They go above and beyond every visit!!”


“Emily was great! Easy going, very flexible, and dependable. She showed up every day to feed our 4 fur babies, scoop the litter, and even water the plants! We loved the updates and pictures too. We definitely recommend her and will use her again without hesitation.”


“Mike did great! My dog is very strong and already pulled me over a few times so I was concerned no one would be able to take care of her. It was a spur of the moment drop in visit with only a few days notice. Since he never met her he even came over the night before to meet her and get her routine. The morning of the visit she wasn’t feeling well and I almost canceled but I left a note and Mike even spent extra time with her. I couldn’t be reached at the time of the visit because cell service had no reception and I was worried. But when I got home and saw the great job he did and the special extra care he took with her I know I’ll have him back again. I just hope after my review that he doesn’t get booked up so I can’t get a visit lol. Thanks again Mike, you were a Godsend!”


“Andrew was a great sitter for our guinea pig Jasper. He’s very thoughtful, attentive and follows directions well. Having such a great sitter makes going away easier. We will book him in the future! He also took care of my herbs while we were away which was also much appreciated.”


“Toni was such a great match for the drop in services I needed for my 2 cats. She went above and beyond to stay and play with my boys and sent so many great photos and videos. I felt at ease knowing they were taken care of and given attention while I was away. I look forward to having Toni help out again!”


About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have fallen in love with each different personality that they all have. As a kid i had two dogs, and now I have 3 bunnies as well. Raising my baby girl has been one of my favorite things in life. I love animals with my whole heart, and would treat any ones baby the way i would treat my own I take care of my bunny, including feeding her multiple times a day, and cleaning her cage, as well as letting her run around my room, and outside. Of course giving her infinite kisses and hugs I care for all pets in the way that they feel comfortable. I know each baby is different, and will make sure to make them feel loved the way that they want. I will make sure to take good care of each and every one of that, and make them feel safe with me

About: What sets me apart is my energy, reliability, and heart! As a marathon runner, I can keep up with even the most energetic pups and provide long, engaging walks or runs and active play—perfect for high-energy dogs. As a teacher and coach, I’m incredibly patient, organized, and how to adapt to different needs—which helps me handle everything from playful puppies to older pets who need extra care and attention. I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family with someone. I’ll love and care for them like they’re my own! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! As a teacher and track coach, I have a structured schedule that allows me to plan ahead and give pets the attention they deserve. I’m an early riser thanks to marathon training, so morning feedings, walks, or playtime are easy for me to fit in. My evenings and weekends are often open, giving me plenty of time for drop-ins, snuggles, or longer visits. Any holiday break or extended weekend is often open as well! The summers are WIDE open since school is closed. I already care for my own two dogs and a cat, so adding more furry friends into my week is something I truly enjoy! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family. In my home, pets have a calm, safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles—plus two friendly dogs and a cat who love company. I maintain their routines as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, and cuddle time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful, reliable, and follow all instructions closely. I make sure your pet feels comfortable, whether that means lots of play or giving them space. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your furry friend is doing!

About: Hello, my name is Ashley. I am a little new to pet care but I am eager to get started! I have had dogs my whole life and have always helped out with them. I have pet sat a few times and administered medication. I currently have a 5 year old Labrador Retriever and watch my friends dogs a lot. I enjoy taking them to the beach and to the dog park very frequently. I have always been an animal lover. Any animal, any size! Though I don't yet have any professional experience, I hope to gain some. I did work at a pet store while I was in high school and learned a lot about pet health and caring for ill animals. I hope to be able to engage with your animals and build a relationship with them as well as you! Thank you! I’m currently working full time as a bartender. I typically work 3pm-11pm but my schedule does vary week to week. I can be pretty flexible with hours when necessary. I have a dog of my own that I take on walks or to the park every day! I do live in an apartment so I take my dog on walks daily or we will go to the dog park or on a trail nearby!

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs varying in ages. I understand how important a routine and safety is for both a pet and their parent. Whether it’s taking them out on a walk, giving them medications, or even just keeping them company, I’m here for all. I’m currently unemployed, almost off to college so I’m free basically everyday! I’m open to back-to-back scheduling if that is what you need. We can make anything work. I respect the space and follow instructions easily to keep things clean and secure. I take safety very seriously, whether it’s checking to make sure doors are locked or food and medications are out of reach for the pet.

About: ABOUT ME: Hi there, I'm Cassidy! I'm 29 years old, I work with computers, and I love animals :) MY PETS: I currently have four dogs and one cat of my own - two 14-year old Mini Australian Shepherd littermates, two 2-year old Border Collie littermates, and one mystery cat that literally wandered into my life on a random Tuesday afternoon. My dogs are all high energy, intelligent dogs that require daily exercise & entertainment. Our favorite activities to do together are going to the dog park to see our friends, going for walks, chasing squirrels and bunnies, barking at the mailman, and going for car rides. We even love going in our cages for (supervised) alone time with lick mats and chewable treats! My cat is a chill guy who doesn't have a mean bone in his body. His favorite activities are screaming for food and basking in the sun. He has quite the personality and has taught me so much about caring for cats! MY EXPERIENCE: I have about 6 years of dog mom experience and 1 year of cat mom experience under my belt. Most of my dog experience is with puppies and with small and medium dogs, but I do have some experience with large dogs. I have cared for senior dogs, dogs with special needs/dietary restrictions, dogs on medicine, injured dogs, and dogs who are toy or food possessive. I even have experience with table-jumpers and food-stealers! While I currently have 5 pets of my own, I have cared for up to 7 at once. I have family & friends who have trusted me to board their dogs in my home for a few days at a time. I would love to offer in-home boarding services, but unfortunately my pups are protective over their family and they do not like having "strangers" in their home. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT: I know how stressful it can be to leave your animals in a stranger's hands - a million questions will be running through your head. Will my pet like them? Will they take good care of my pet? Will they give my pet the right amount of food? Will they take my pet on a walk? Will they take my pet outside to go potty? Will they pat my pet 5 times on the head and give them 10 belly rubs at precisely 11:35am? Will they do that funny dance I taught them when it's dinner time? YES - I'll do it all! My goal is to do exactly what you need in the time I am caring for your animal. I care for all animals as if they were my own. I will strive to keep your pets safe & comfortable, meet their needs, train them if needed, spoil them (just a little bit!), and become someone they look forward to seeing! I work a full time job M-F from 7am-4pm and thus cannot offer care during these times. I am able to provide some care on weekday afternoons. I am able to provide more care on weekends. At this time I am not able to bring your pet into my home. However, when I am in your home, I will prioritize the safety and care of your pet. I will care for your animals and your home as if they were my own.

About: I have had animals since I was a little girl. From mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs and cats- I’ve taken care of them all! Last year I took in my mom’s dog since she moved and couldn’t take her along, so technically this is my first time owning a dog (on my own), but there has always been either a dog or a cat in my home growing up, so I have dealt with it all- accidents, anxiousness, and everything in between. I have also been able to teach my dog some new basic tricks, despite her being 13! I am very patient, determined, and caring. I currently work full time, 2nd shift 3p-11:30pm, so I am available M-F up until 2pm when I need to start getting ready for work. I wake up early and take my dog out right away, then again in about 3ish hours, and then right before I leave for work to ensure that I don’t come home to an accident, and then she potties and eats dinner when I get home. On the weekends, I’m home probably 90% of the time, so we go to the museum, dog park, and for the most part, she runs all of my errands with me! Despite me living in an apartment, I do still have a yard in the front and the back of the building, so if my dog (or yours) isn’t feeling up for a walk (or the weather isn’t great) there is still grass for them to go to the bathroom. I do not mind about my dog being on my furniture- it’s her house too! That is how it would be for your pet too! I also have a small balcony, where me and her sit and hang out for some fresh air.

“Our first time leaving our fur babies, and wow I cannot say enough about how great Liceth was. Constant updates, extremely friendly, and goes above and beyond. I wouldn’t trust my pets with anybody except her.”


About: I grew up with animals my entire life from large Newfoundland dogs to cats to bunnies and a hamster. I currently have my own black cat, Edgar, who is the best little guy! I can take care of your pets to best accommodate them! I’m currently a teacher on summer break, so I am here for weekday, day time, afternoon, and evening needs to best accommodate your and your fur babies’ schedules! Edgar loves to play, so I always make sure his automatic cat toy is charged and ready for him throughout the day when I am at work. Once I get home, we play with his favorite string feather toy. I can certainly help keep your pets comfortable and happy!

About: I have cared-for, looked-after, raised, and befriended many canny canine and fine feline friends all of my life. I have a gift for loving, connecting with, and nurturing animals. I'll take care of your furry family members as my own! Presently, most of the week, I have an open and flexible schedule to care for your pets. I have safe, secure, and reliable transportation. Also, I live an active lifestyle and enjoy outdoor activities. At home, I pride myself in the cleanliness, orderliness, and mindfullness of my household. I maintain my living-space with the utmost attention to and care of the environmental safety and comfort of my animal guests.

Ashley H.
“I have known Ashley Hughes for 8 years and she is my best friend, family at this point. She would be phenomenal for the position and I would trust her with any of my pets (who are genuinely my children). We lived together for many years and I have seen her around our own pets and others that she has doggy-sat/cat-sat in the past and she is so incredibly loving and caring and treats any animal like her own! I wouldn’t think twice about leaving my babies in her care.”


Brianna M.
“Brianna was incredibly attentive and respectful of my cat, Leilah, when she came over to petsit! She was quick to respond to any questions I had for her throughout the weekend she had her, making sure to update me when she ate and her overall behavior. I also greatly appreciated the photos she would send on occasion <3. On my way back, she showcased how accommodating she was when traffic made me delayed on our agreed pick-up time and she took it in stride! An amazing sitter all-around!”

“Devon would be a wonderful pet sitter/caregiver. She has grown up with dogs and cats her entire life. From newfoundlands to pit bulls, to various types of cats, Devon has a wide experience with many types of breeds she has helped care for. Devon has her own black cat she takes wonderful care for. She has also house/pet sit for her sister’s pit-bull and when her sister came home, her dog did not want her to leave. Devon is a teacher tasked with educating 8th grade students as her full time job and I think she would do a terrific job caring for any animal in need. She is very responsible and extremely professional.”


Andrew Moses Y.
“My husband and I were able to put our anxiety of traveling aside. We used to worry about traveling because of our cat, Anais Nin. Andrew placed us at ease. We knew we could trust Andrew with our home and that she would be well cared for. He would stop by daily to check-in on her and keep her company while feeding her and switching out her water. Andrew is trustworthy and takes pride in his work. He authentically loves working with animals. We are fortunate to have his services.”
