“Allison did such a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She managed a difficult situation with a mean and grumpy cat, and we would happily recommend as a cat sitter!”
“Wonderful thoughtful people! I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Justin & Christina sat with my dog twice a day for 2 and a half weeks while I traveled for medical care. My dog loved them and was very comfortable while I was gone. I can absolutely recommend them and will call them again. ??”
“Nicole did a GREAT job taking care of our cat Rosie while we were away. She was prompt and attentive, let us know what was going on every day, and knew just how to interact with Rosie. Nicole is highly recommended!”
“Tessa did such a great job taking care of my dog & cat! She sent lots of pictures so I could see them while I was out of town and was very communicative. Will definitely hire her again! Thanks, Tessa! 😊”
“100/10 stars! Kyle was absolutely amazing for our crew! We booked with him last minute & around Christmas time! With 3 dogs, we were slightly worried if he'd be able to handle it, but he handled everything seamlessly & with grace! The dogs instantly were instantly comfortable around him too, and our cat, who is VERY shy, even came out of hiding too! Kyle went ABOVE & BEYOND what we asked & we couldn't have felt more comfortable! He is very knowledgeable & super trust worthy! We will not be using any other sitter ever again! Praying he keeps us! Haha 😊”
“Emily did a FABULOUS job taking care of all our fur babies while we were gone! She is very responsive & went above & beyond for us! So so very thankful to have found a new dog walking buddy & a friend, along with her being our new go-to pet sitter! Would highly recommend her for all dog & cats needs as all of our pets LOVED her!”
About: I've taken care of animals since birth. I have grown up with at least 2 cats and 2 dogs in my home since I was born. I am so passionate about animals. I volunteer at a local cat shelter most Saturdays. I also grew up with a cat with a heart disease, so I am very comfortable administering medication. I will treat your pets as my own! I am a College Student, so early mornings and evenings work for me! I have some afternoon slots open MWF. Weekends are open! Walks, check-ins, snuggles, anything! Clear understanding of their schedule, routine, and preferences. We can discuss any triggers your pet has. I send updates and photos/videos of the furry friends if requested. I understand the stress of leaving a family member, and want to make you and your furry friend as comfortable as possible.
About: I have taken care of animals of every kind since I was a young child. I routinely keep my family and friend’s animals while they are busy or just for fun! I am currently a work from home parent with plenty of time to give your baby the one-on-one time they need! Extra lovings and playtime is taken serious 😊 In your home I will diligently work with your animals the way that you need me too! I cannot wait to meet you and your baby.
About: I’ve grew up with all ages of dogs and I know how to take care of them no matter the age. I enjoy to help a dog live its best life. I currently work a very flexible job so I’m free to babysit or take care of the animal no matter the time or day. My job allows me to take whatever time I need to. I would treat your animals however they needed to be. If they needed to be in a crate I would. Whatever they needed I would provide them with. I treat animals of all kinds like I do my pets and that’s the best to my abilities.
About: I’ve taken care of four dogs at home since I was 10 as well as three cats! While at college, I volunteer at the local shelter so I have experience reading dog behaviors. I also check out the shelter dogs for the weekend as well as on my days off during the day. I usually take the dogs to parks where they can socialize, swim and play. Well, at the shelter, I occasionally help the vet that comes to check the dogs and cats. I have also trained my four dogs at home their basic commands like sit, stay, lay down, and have leash trained them! I am very active so I would love to play with and walk the dogs! Being home for the summer from college, not having a part-time job, I have flexible hours! I plan to spend my time helping clients as needed! Depending on clients instruction, I can crate pets if necessary, walk them and play with them, as well as feed them on the communicated schedule.
“Madison’s experience at the vet gives our family such confidence that we can leave our dog in the best of hands. Her knowledge on how to handle “skiddish” dogs was perfect for our animal. She’s always on time and dependable. Boba loves her and that’s the most important thing to us. I would 100% recommend her to watch any type of animal you have.”
About: I am currently going to school to become a veterinarian, which has given me a strong foundation in animal health and behavior. I have been trusted by friends, family, neighbors, and mutual connections to care for their animals since I was young. In addition, I have pet-sat for many furry friends and worked in veterinary clinics for the past two years, gaining hands-on experience caring for puppies/kittens and senior pets. I am currently going to school full time, but I have many breaks throughout the day and a flexible schedule. This allows me to make pet care a priority, with plenty of time for visits, play, feeding, and attentive care throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I currently have a dog who is crate trained when I am not present, helping maintain a calm and safe environment. I carefully follow each pet’s routine and any specific instructions or precautions provided by the owner. I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, patience, and attentive care. I also take time to build trust with both pets and their owners and communicate regularly with updates and photos, so you always feel confident while your pet is in my care.
“Jade did a wonderful job taking care of my indoor/outdoor cat while I was away. She took care of his basic needs, making sure all his food and water bowls were filled and even scooped the litter box. She also spent time playing with him and giving him some love and attention. I will definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone who needs pet care in the area.”
About: I have several years of experience working in veterinary clinics, as well as having my own fur babies that I look after. To me, our pets are like children and I love every animal that I meet. Whether you just need help from time to time with potty breaks, or need someone dependable to look after your babies for an extended period, I can promise that they will be in caring and amazing hands with me. I grew up on a farm, constantly around animals of all shapes and sizes. Nothing at all makes me happier than coming home to wet noses and the happiness my pups exhibit upon seeing me. I have worked as a veterinary technician for 6+ years so I am experienced in caring for animals in the proper way. I truly believe that every single animal deserves to be healthy and happy and I do my best to achieve that. I am currently a Practice Manager at a veterinary clinic. I work 5 days a week, but have time before, during lunch, and after work to assist with pet care. I am adaptable to any kind of care that is needed for your pets. I am very detailed when it comes to following instructions and guidelines you set forth for your pet’s care.

Rome cat parents share their Rover experiences
Allison is a true Cat Whisperer! We have 2 kitties, each with very different personalities--one who is very shy and the other who thinks he's a guard dog and threatens to attack the "intruder". But in a very short time she has charmed both of them. The shy one is coming out of her shell and the aggressive one sees her as his new best friend....a truly difficult thing to do with animals who don't trust strangers. I HIGHLY recommend her services....there are "no worries" leaving the house when Allison is in charge!
⸻ I reached out to Elizabeth and she responded with such a positive and warm attitude. When we met in person, I immediately liked her—she’s very outgoing and easy to connect with. I have four cats, and they’re not the easiest to win over. Three of them usually hide under the bed when strangers are around, but one actually came out to greet her. Elizabeth was incredibly kind and patient, speaking gently and making a real effort to help them feel comfortable. Although I originally booked her for six days, I only needed help for five. When I returned, everything was spotless—the litter boxes were clean, they had fresh water, and the cats all seemed happy and well cared for.
