“Cera took such good care of Maggie! I looked forward to her updates which were both informative and full of humor. Mags is an anxious dog, but she seemed at ease with Cera, even napping on (with haha) her. I’d have her take care of Mags again in a heartbeat!”

“Andrew is great! He was super patient while I learned to navigate the Rover app. Had a thorough meet and greet with our dogs and checklist. He sent photos and a great report card. Will certainly be contacting Andrew for future dog sitting appointments. Highly recommend!”

“Daniel was awesome, simply put. Great communication and multiple updates kept us in the loop. He was very engaging with our dogs and went above and beyond our expectations.”

“Jess is professional and lovely to work with. She treated our fur babies to treats and love and even wiped their dirty paws when finished. Highly recommend Jess for you pet sitting needs!”

“Maria went above and beyond this time to care for my babies. They love her and got lots of playtime as usual, but this time my house was dealing with an ant infestation. She notified me so that I could call pest control and helped spray and wipe away the ants she could see in the meantime before they were able to drop by. I was very anxious about the situation and she continued to provide updates and let me know that their food and main play areas were safe”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Melissa did an excellent job with our 6 (yes 6) pups! We have 4 Chihuahua's and 2 Chihuahua/Terrier mixes and she took excellent care of them with drop in visits. I highly recommend her for pet sitting. She was very caring and was even able to get our most timid pup to play.”

“Stella was super sweet, accommodating and communicated well. She took care of Ayce like he was her own and sent us beautiful pictures and notes on their visits. Highly recommend!”

About: I've had guinea pigs all my life, and I have taken care of my friends and families dogs and cats. Taking care of animals is a huge passion of mine, and I take it very seriously I have a lot of free time on my hands and would be available anytime of the week. If something does come up on my schedule I will let you know. I would prefer to take care of your animals in your own home and would be able to stay over or check in on them as much as you want.
About: I have had various dogs since I was a child including dachshunds, jack russels, and chihuahuas. I’ve always helped around the house and with the animals. (We’ve even had goats, chickens, goats, and a pig! So I know how to handle different dynamics.) I have trained and taken care of my own dachshund puppy over the past two years. I’ve taught him tricks, crate trained him, and navigated how to walk on a leash properly. As an early grad I am working to build my schedule with work. I make time for what’s important to me and that includes YOUR FURRY BABIES! I do have one part time job but I am very flexible with my availability. If you prefer me to be present at the house 24/7 I will! If you are okay with me working a shift or two while petsitting I can do that as well. All I need is communication! I will act and provide my services based on you and your pets needs. I am comfortable to give medicine, take your pets out for potty breaks any time they need, to crate them or share a bed for my stay.
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.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of multiple family members and friends. I love to walk dogs and spend time with them as well! I live across from a park, so walks are very nice and long. I have a flexible summer internship where I am looking for hours during the day to walk/look after dogs and other animals. My availability depends on the day. I am looking for multiple times in the day to either let a pet out or take them for a walk. I have a yard without fences where a dog can run around. I have plenty of room in my house for an animal to walk/play around. I am able to supply food and water for pets in my home.
“Samantha was respectful, followed instructions well and made sure my sweet girl was taken care of and shown affection. She even helped bring all of my delivered packages inside. 10/10 recommend!”


“Amanda was absolutely wonderful with our dogs and treated them as her own. She was super caring and attentive and made sure they were well taken care of. Would absolutely recommend her for any of your Rover needs!”

“Diana was very accommodating & was able to help me out at the last minute. She did very well with my two dogs & they seemed to be very comfortable with her. She followed my detailed instructions & didn't appear to have any problems with my sometimes problematic dog. I would definitely recommend Diana to those who need a caring, responsible pet sitter.”

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.
