“Amanda did a a great job watching my cat while I was on vacation. She was very thorough and provided updates everyday. I was very satisfied with her services will definitely be using her in the future.”

“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!”

“Melissa did such an amazing job with our kitties! This is the first time we have ever left them overnight and she made sure to take the time to love them. Couldn’t recommend her more 💜”

“Abby did a great job caring for my dog Samson while I was on vacation for a week. She was able to accommodate some last minute requests for me as well. I would definitely book with her again!”


“So great and patient with my difficult dogs. Even stayed longer with my one dog that wouldn't come inside. Very patient with difficult,scared,vocal dogs”

“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!”

“Angel was super attentive to my cats while I was away, and coordinated with me through complicated travel schedules to make sure they would get the care that they need! I’m super thankful for her 💙”


“Saul took time to come over and meet Myla before his first drop in. He has been extremely helpful in helping us take care of our puppy. Great at communicating when he will be dropping in and even sends us daily updates and pictures!”

“Cathy was fantastic looking after our cats. We got lots of photos each day, which our previous Rover didn’t do. We will definitely have Cathy watch our cats next time we head out of town.”

“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.
About: I've had both dogs and cats my entire life! From Chows, to Border Collies, to Great Pyrenees Lab mixes! I've also had family with smaller dogs! 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!

I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play.
