“She did go above and beyond at doing drop in with my dog it was her first time I left her with someone she dint know and my dog was not happy the first few drops she did but did keep coming back till my dog decided to warm up to her at least enough to go on a walk”

“Mitzi is absolutely amazing. She sent me pictures of my baby boy during visits. Which were always an absolute delight to receive. I know my baby boy is in good hands. She also provided some general observations for me to follow up on.”

“Missy was wonderful! This was my first Rover experience and I was very nervous with my cats needing medication twice daily but Missy was on time and great with communicating. I really appreciated the cute pictures she sent with each visit and I would definitely schedule with her again!”

“Elizabeth was wonderful and took great care of my cat, Bruno. I felt relieved knowing that he was in good hands and appreciated all of the photos she shared while I was gone.”

About: I have always been a natural animal lover and genuinely enjoy spending time caring for pets of all kinds. I have regularly helped friends, family, and neighbors with pet sitting, drop-in visits, feeding, walking, and giving lots of attention and love while they’re away. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone you trust. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether your pet is high-energy and loves long walks or prefers a calm environment and extra snuggles, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am happy to provide updates, photos, and consistent communication so you always have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your life easier and ensure your pet feels loved every step of the way. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits. I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine and can accommodate multiple check-ins per day if needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know it takes trust to leave your pet in someone else’s care and I do not take that responsibility lightly. I take time to understand your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions before care begins. During visits, I ensure doors are secure, food and water are refreshed, and the environment is kept clean. I provide a calm, low-stress environment and treat your home and pet with respect and care.
About: I've had dogs, cats, and rabbits but have also cared for guinea pigs, turtles and fish. Caring for your pet the way you do is most important. I am available most days and times. My open availability leaves you with piece of mind knowing there's someone that can help any time of the day. I have a big yard and will be spending lots of time outside. Really big on taking hikes, and playing ball. Staying hydrated will also be priority.non smoker.
“Kelly was amazing! We were out of the country for 3 weeks. It was a huge relief to know that our cats were in good hands while we were away. Kelly sent us pics/video of our girls every day along with thorough updates about how they were doing. She consistently went above & beyond for us, our cats, and our home/property in general. We can't recommend her enough! THANK YOU, Kelly!!!”
About: I grew up with multiple pets, we often called it the "Cook Family Zoo". I've helped take care of many cats, dogs, turtles, fish and even ferrets at one point! I currently have two dogs a terrier/cattle dog mix and a German shepherd/lab mix puppy! They both are rescues and love to cuddle. I volunteer with a local dog rescue and am a proud foster fail. :) I’m passionate about protecting all furry friends and finding the perfect home for each loving animal. I love all animals, big or small, and do my best to be flexible and communicate with you quickly and thoroughly. I hope you will consider me to help take care of your loved ones and I will be sure to give them lots of love while you're away. Currently working full time but have availability on weekends and most evenings to help out! I also have flexibility at work so depending on your needs can make drop in visits and walks during the day. I work from home occasionally too so I can usually be flexible as needed. If visiting your home I would respect your wishes around routine training, diet and behavior. I typically provide photos and/or text updates of your pet so you know they’re doing well and we’ll looked after even when you’re not able to be there!
“Ashlea has been letting our 2 puppies out in the middle of the day for the last few weeks and has been fantastic. She has been flexible when my schedule changes and is completely reliable. We very much appreciate how she treats our dogs and highly recommend her.”

“Nick went above and beyond while watching our two pups while we were out of town!! They’ve never been so comfortable with a sitter before. Communication was fabulous and he always took the time to send detailed updates and pictures. I would 100% recommend!”

“I am very pleased with Jonah’s care of my animals. He sent lots of pictures. I know my dog especially enjoyed his visits. He took extra care to let my older cat drink from the bathroom faucet. He was very responsive every time I texted. Very satisfied.”

“This was our first time using rover and Joanna was the best. Our boys loved her and we felt they were completely safe in her care. She gave frequent and thorough updates along with pictures of them. 10/10 from us!”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child, but have had my 3 cats for 13 years now. I recently moved, so I let them live with my mom sadly, I do miss them. Outside of my cats, I have helped walk and care for other dogs the past few years. If you give special instructions on how you would like for me to care for your dog/cat, I will do exactly that since I will be coming to your place and/or walking them. UPDATED AS OF 6/16/26- for now please refer to this update until life gets less busy. I have a 2 year old so I cannot watch your animals at your home at this current time, but I would still love to drop in and take care of them through the day or take them on walks. I can care for them at my home also. The hours listed below are still correct 😊 I work Monday-Friday until 3:30pm, but I can also come before work, take my lunch to let your pups out for a potty break half way through my shift! I always am off on the holidays. I do have every Saturday and Sunday completely free. After 3:30pm on the weekdays I have the entire day to spend with your animals :) I will follow all your instructions you give me for caring for your animals. I will always treat them like I would my own animals!
