Rowan did an excellent job with my high spirited and messy puppy. She is responsible and reliable and I will continue to use her to watch Gracie without hesitation.

Tiffany has done a lot of drop in visits for us and overnight stays. She’s great at keeping in touch and sending photos. We always feel at ease when we have her taking care of our fur-babies.

Needed a sitter last second and tried Rover for the first time. I’m so glad I picked Mattie! She was super responsive and really was great! And our dog literally loved her during a quick pre-visit and she’s usually wary of new people. I can’t thank Mattie enough!

Bethany took such great care of our large pit bull/lab mix. It was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but I could tell right away that our dog was in very good hands. She was very responsive and sent tons of pictures, and we will definitely use her in the future!

I am beyond grateful for Alison’s exceptional care of my dog. Not only did they provide all the basics—feeding, walks, and playtime—but they went the extra mile to make sure my dog was safe during a snowstorm. She was incredibly. It was evident that Alison thought about my dog and when above and beyond and truly cares about animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, thank you for your kindness and dedication!

Charlotte was wonderful! This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous because I’ve only ever had family take care of my cat while I was away. Charlotte made it easy to enjoy a few days away by being easy to communicate with, sending pictures of my kitty, and being prompt and professional. We will absolutely be asking Charlotte back and recommend her to anyone looking to breathe easy while being away from their fur baby ☺️

About: I’m a loving, assertive dog owner. I have confidence handling high energy pups big and small. I trained my big, wild, Mutt to become a perfect two-year-old gentleman. I have taken some responsibility of family pets since I was seven years old, making caring for dogs second nature. I am a full time student with a part time job during the summer. I have plenty of time and flexibility to share with dogs! I take my dog on walks every day, as he is slightly reactive, I am always aware of my surroundings. I put the safety of the pets first. I use the proper training tools to set them up for success and happiness. I notice animals limitations and take precautions in a every situation.

Always had multiple cats growing up as well and currently have my own cat Nyla! My partner also has a tarantula I help feed on occasion! I love spending time with animals and am excited and invested in taking care of your pet! I can take your pet on walks or feed them, or simply play with them any evenings through the week! I am free mornings on Sundays, and I can also help feed or take for quick walks very early in the morning (i.e. 6:30 am) on weekdays! Its always good to set paces and have precise food notes for your pets! I will look for this and if they aren't there I will be sure to ask! Every pet needs there own way of being loved and cared for, from times and lengths for walks to what toys they adore!

About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like family. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I focus on making both pets and owners feel safe, relaxed, and cared for from day one. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs — including administering medications, working with reactive dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m patient, attentive, and committed to creating a calm, positive environment where they feel secure and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime, or simply wants extra affection and attention, I tailor my care to fit their individual routine and personality. I’m confident reading body language and helping nervous or high-energy pets feel safe and understood. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I also make it a priority to keep routines consistent to help reduce stress and make the experience as comfortable as possible for your pet. My goal is simple: to give your pet a loving, stress-free experience while giving you total peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I currently stay at home so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, loving care for your pets. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits throughout the week and weekends. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked — I make it a priority to give each animal personalized attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medication routines, and special care instructions to help your pet feel comfortable and at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel secure and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. I treat every pet like family and always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, exercise needs, medications, and preferred sleeping arrangements.

Chloe did an amazing job with Niko and Nala. She sent plenty of pictures, took them on walks and gave them plenty of attention. By the end of the night both dogs were passed out. We will definitely be using Chloe again!
