“Rachel did a short notice checkin for my 3 cats. She was very responsive, neat and finished all the tasks they needed plus sent pictures so I knew all were doing ok. Wonderful job. I am booking her again now!”
“I can’t thank Jackie enough for taking such great care of our girls. They were just smiling ear to ear in the pictures! She was so sweet to leave the girls a parting gift, and they loved it. She went out of her way to get more food when I misjudged the amount left, and had to deal with the beginnings of a horrible stomach bug. She goes above and beyond! I’m so happy to have found Jackie!! Thank you!!”
“Lauren was amazing with my anxious dog. She followed all instructions perfectly and gave me peace of mind with daily updates and photos. Lauren also played with my dog and made sure he was okay before leaving every time and she was so kind to pick up after his mess of ripping up things. I will definitely be booking with her every single time we are leaving out of town.”
“Kinsley does an amazing job with my girls every time. I know they are well taken care of during her time with them. Her care and concern for them comes through in the pictures and notes she sends.”
“Robert was great with Loki! Loki can have a lot of energy when he meets new people, he calms down after a few visits. It was just a drop-in visit, but Robert took the time and did wonderful with him.”
About: I have had many dogs since I was born and have owned many animals including hamsters and snakes. I have treated minor illnesses in dogs before and know multiple emergency vet offices nearby. I am comfortable giving medicines and keeping strict routines and diets. I excel in reading animal body language and understanding and avoiding triggers. I attend College classes Mondays and Wednesdays. I also have a part-time job that I work Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. I usually wake up around 7:30 and have a relaxing morning to myself. I spend my free time at home doing school work and hanging out with my dog and cat. I have a 3/4 acre lot with a six foot chain link fence. I have a Shar-pei American Bulldog mix and a Domestic Shorthair cat, both do well with other animals and can be contained if the need arises. Animals get fed twice a day, 1/2 a cup each morning and evening for the puppy and 1/4 cup each morning and evening for the kitty. The animals are let out freely as we have a screened in pool with a dog door. Toys are preferred but if your baby likes the dog park I know of many and am willing to go with them. Animals are not allowed on the furniture but can get plenty of snuggles on the floor!
About: I have prior experience working at a vet hospital, dog sitting different breeds of all ages and sizes. I also have experiences with basic obedience training. I believe exercise and mental training is the best approach to a happy dog! Tired dogs are the happiness dogs. If you request a drop in I’ll include a potty break and play time. If you request a walk I’ll walk for 20-30mins. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to help other pet owners. Life can throw a curveball: busy workday, family member is ill, crazy traffic. Or you want to experience life and don’t want your pet to suffer staying home alone all day. I am here to help if you find yourself needing someone to run by to check on your family member. Play with them, give them love and treats while you’re away. You can count on me! I ensure i gain the trust of the dog and they feel safe around me. I treat every dog like my own! I provide mental stimulation: mental games/ basic training work. Some dogs need more stimulation to allow them to rest comfortably. A 30min walk may not be enough for your dog.
“I would highly recommend Hailey to anyone, she was great. My dogs were very happy and taken care of exactly the way I would’ve wanted them to be. She communicated and sent pictures for each visit. I have two Australian shepherds one is 13 years old and one is 6 and she gave them each the attention that they needed. this is my first time using Rover and I will definitely use Hailey again.”
“Tiffany did great with the home visits! She kept me informed, was on time, and very sweet with my 3 pups (one of which is very large and difficult.) I highly recommend her!”
“Lorianne did a great job taking care of our cat, Winnie, while we were away for 5 days. Winnie can be anxious, but Lorianne was patient with Winnie. By day 2, Winnie was rubbing on her. Lorianne sent daily pictures and updates. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda was absolutely wonderful! We’ve tried several dog walkers through Rover in the past and haven’t always had the best luck, but this experience was completely different. Amanda was patient, kind, and so loving with our little yorkie poo, Mali. She made us feel completely at ease knowing Mali was in such good hands. We can’t recommend Amanda enough and will definitely be booking with her again for any future needs!”
“Elaine did such an AMAZING job watching my baby boy while I went home to visit my family on Christmas! This was my first time having Elaine as a sitter and she was as reassuring as she could possibly be! I was looped into some crazy flight cancellations and Elaine was very accommodating to meet all of my needs during those crazy times! She is very reliable and I highly recommended ??”
About: I've had pets in the past and I have been a pet sitter for a friend multiple times when she went on vacation. I cared for her two dogs which included: walking them everyday, potty breaks as needed, feeding, administering meds, and showered them with love. I am an educator. During the summer I have more availability to care for your fur baby. During the school year, I will be available on most weekends/evenings and during breaks, I will be more available. I have had pets in the past and am currently seeking a small dog for myself. I will provide attention, go for walks, feeding/water, provide meds when needed, and lots of love.
About: 20+ years of pet care experience. Growing up we had 4 dogs , 6 cats and a whole array of other critters. When it comes to pet sitting, drop by visits or just a quick walk, I’m your guy! I have a full time job that I work Tuesday-Friday 8-6. Im currently available Mondays, Friday evenings, Saturdays & Sundays. Holidays vary since I may be out of town I have two cats myself so ensuring a safe, clean environment is number 1 on my list. If there’s no mess or hazard, I’d ensure all essentials are either available or given at time specified. For example feeding and or medication time, along with kibble/ water restock. If there’s a list, follow the list lol

Rio cat parents share their Rover experiences
This was the second time having Monica watch my two cats while we went on vacation and she always exceeds expectations. I got a ton of pictures of my babies daily, lots of communication and generally made my vacation better because I didn’t for a second have to worry that my cats were okay. She deserves every single 5 star review she has.
I felt so comfortable knowing my kitty was in good hands! Rebecca was so patient and understanding. My sassy calico girl loved having some company while mom was on vacation. Rebecca sent so many pictures and updates. I definitely recommend her! I could tell by the pictures, my baby was very comfortable with her.
