Mary is amazing! We came home to a very happy, relaxed puppy. In fact, he was better behaved than when we left him! We were worried about our first time away from our boy, but Mary kept us so well informed with messages and photos, that our fears were quickly alleviated. Mary is so diligent and caring. We highly recommend her!

Bianca took great care of our cats, dropping in to visit every day. They were happy and both mentally and physically healthy when we got home from an almost 3-week trip. We'll be long-term customers, for sure!

This was our first time using Rover. Riley was helpful in explaining how it worked. She watched our cat for several visits for two days. For each visit she sent information on how the visit went. Unfortunately our kitty would run and hide after greeting her so she couldn’t get many pictures. She even went and found him and sat trying to convince him to come out! He ate well during her visits and she was kind to clean up the dirty cat bowls each time! It’s also very comforting knowing Riley has experience working in a vet clinic.

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, growing up in a family that always had two dogs. As the eldest, I naturally took on a lot of the responsibility, feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning up, helping with training, and of course giving plenty of love and playtime. Beyond my own pets, I’ve also cared for neighbors’ dogs and cats, always making sure to follow their instructions carefully so each pet feels comfortable and cared for just the way their family would want.😊 Working from home gives me the flexibility to be fully present for your pets throughout the day. I naturally take breaks often, which I love to spend playing, walking, or giving them attention so they feel happy and cared for. Since I can bring my work with me, I’m also able to stay in your home as long as needed; making sure your pets have company, comfort, and consistent care without ever feeling alone. When I care for pets in their own home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar space. I follow your routines closely so everything feels consistent for them. Since I work from home, I can spend plenty of time with your pets, giving them attention throughout the day. My goal is to treat them like family and make sure they’re happy, relaxed, and never feel alone.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for several years and have always had a dog in my house since I was 4. I even volunteer at the SPCA in my free time at college. I know how to safely walk, play, and take care of a dog. I’m working part-time this summer, so I will be free many days and would love to help you out! I only work at night so most days I will be completely free. I know how to handle dogs on a leash and how to care for them safely and effectively. I’ve always had a dog of my own so I have lots of experience in ensuring their safety at all times.

Elena is fantastic! We have two rescue doodles and one of them is scared to death of strangers. She was patient and kind to our pups, and Annie and Cooper took to her right away! We just love her and will definitely use her as a regular sitter!

Corinne was great. She helped us rather last minute when we needed to go out of town for a funeral. She fed both my cat and dog and walked the dog 4 times a day. Highly recommend her services.

Elizabeth did a great job taking care of our two pups while we were on vacation. We requested 2 visits each day, and she was on time and sent pictures of the girls on every visit. We had peace of mind leaving them in her care while we were gone. She was also very responsive when booking the visits.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, growing up in a home with multiple pups of all sizes. From feeding and bathing to long walks and playtime, I’ve always been hands-on in making sure they’re happy and well cared for. In addition to dogs, I’ve also raised birds, turtles, and fish, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and at home. I currently work from home so I’m able to provide physical comfort and stimulation via petting and playing with toys. We also have a dog park where I can take your pet for off leash running around and fetching. I have experience providing oral medicine for dogs. I allow dogs on furniture and free roaming in the house, but if you have a crate and wish to bring it just let me know. Please provide any instructions on feeding schedule or items.

Kayla and Demitrius were awesome. They took great care of our four cats over the long holidays. In fact, they really went above and beyond by also feeding a stray cat we've been looking after - they didn't have to do thar but they truly are animal lovers. Our littlest cat is naturally very suspicious but even he had warmed up to them by the end of the holiday. We will definitely reach out to them first every time we need cat sitters.

Mark was great! He had excellent communication, consistent visits, and really won over our pup. Arranging dependable pet care has always been stressful, and honestly one of the reasons we haven’t travelled more. Finding Mark really made it effortless this time. We can’t wait to start taking more overnight trips soon knowing he’ll be there.

About: I have taken care of pets for a couple of years for friends, family, and neighbors. I have had dogs all my life and love taking them on walks and playing with them in the yard! I am currently in school online and working two part-time jobs, so I am available Monday-Friday. With a two week notice I am also able to provide help on the weekends! When caring for pets I ensure that they get lots of time outside and getting exercise such as walks or playing fetch. I own a Doberman, so I am used to high energy dogs and I worked at a Doggy Daycare where I got lots of experience working with all different breeds and temperaments.
