“Mallory was an absolute wonder to work with, she helped me feel less nervous about leaving my babies and even more as my first time using Rover. She sent me great pictures and sent personalized updates so I know she was there with them! Would absolutely recommend Mallory.”


“With my travel schedule for work it is hard to plan ahead and Sarah has been so accommodating with my schedule and taking on watching Flossy it gives me a sense of security knowing she is there for me. She is a great communicator and she is someone that really loves her job. I couldn’t be more satisfied as a customer with Rover and Sarah is the sole reason for that.”



“Michelle is a saint! Every time we leave our biggest girl gets sick and Michelle is a trooper and makes sure she is taken care of and cleans up the messes. 🤢 Both our girls love her and would always check her availability first when in need.”


“Emily has been wonderful with Heisenberg! I am so grateful for her help. I was nervous to have a stranger take care of him, but I couldn't be happier with how well it has worked out.”


“Lilly was amazing with our two cats while we were gone for a week! Both of our girls absolutely loved her (even our shy kitty) and warmed up to her instantly. She is very communicative and goes above and beyond. Do yourself a favor and hire her! ?”


“Katie gave us peace of mind as we had to leave our kitty for a few days. She was super communicative, easy to work with, and followed all directions perfectly. Will definitely rebook again!”


About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience working at a kennel, where I cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I regularly pet sit for friends and family, and I’m also a proud dog mom to two large pups of my own. To me, pets are family—and I’ll care for yours with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. I’m extremely responsible, detail-oriented, and highly communicative, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’m especially safety-focused during walks, drop-ins, and boarding—I’ll closely monitor your pet to make sure they’re secure, content, and well cared for at all times. I also have experience with senior dogs and pets with medical needs, and I’m comfortable administering medication when needed. You can trust that your pet will be in kind, capable, and attentive hands. I’m currently working full-time from home, allowing me the flexibility to care for your pet through the day when boarding. For drop-ins/walks, I’m usually available midday and from 4PM-8AM. I will provide transparent expectations prior to booking to ensure I’m the right fit for you. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I require a meet and greet for the pets prior to any in-home boarding to make sure all dogs are comfortable. Pending your needs, I’m happy to crate your dog when needed. My goal is to keep your pet safe, happy and relaxed during our time together.

“I could tell our pup was very happy and comfortable with Katie. Katie was both friendly and professional. I was pleased with all of photos and regular updates we recieved. It was clear she gave our dog plenty of exercise as our dog was pooped. I will definitely be booking again.”


“Mary is our go-to for animal care when we travel, and we couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving our two dogs in her care. She’s so sweet and treats them like her own, gives individualized attention and truly cares about their experience -and ours- while we are away. Tanner and Wrigley can’t wait to see you again!”


About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently share my home with three cats and one dog - it's a full house! I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, including my own 13-year-old who needs daily medication. I also grew up with huskies, so I'm no stranger to high-energy breeds and the active care they require. On the flip side, I'm just comfortable with laid-back pus - my pug keeps things goofy and fun. Whether it's administering meds, going for long walks, or just providing companionship, I bring patience, energy, and love to every pet I care for. I work full-time remotely, which gives me the flexibility to offer morning and afternoon drop-ins and walks during the week. On weekends, I'm fully available for all listed services and can accommodate a wider range of times. My home has a partially fenced yard and system of tall gates inside to safely separate cats and dogs when needed, so every pet can feel secure and relaxed. I'm happy to kennel your pup if that's part of their routine or needed for comfort. Your pet's safety and peace of mind are always my top priority.

About: I’m nurturing, detail-oriented, and patient, with a calm, animal-led approach. I build trust with shy or anxious pets and treat every animal like family. I’ve helped raise a dog, currently have three cats, and know how to tune into each pet’s unique personality. I always provide photo updates and prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. While I don’t administer medications, I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to giving pets the attention and care they deserve. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I care for my three cats and enjoy spending my evenings walking dogs or doing drop-ins. Caring for animals fits perfectly into my routine. I spend my evenings providing walks and drop-ins, and I’m always tending to my own three cats.

About: My unconditional love for all animals. Every cat or dog that I meet I treat and cherish as if they were my own fur baby. I do work a full time job, 8-4 Mon-Fri. However, I am looking to use some of my free time taking care of your fur baby! I do my best to maintain whatever routine you have with your fur baby. I am willing to go the extra mile to make your pup feel safe and comfortable while you are away.

About: I grew up with pets my whole life - ferrets, fish, cats, and primarily bigger dog breeds (cocker spaniels and Labradors). I'm the kind of person who will show up to a party and hang out with your dog instead of the people for 3 hours. It is a given that I love animals, and ever since I moved from my family after covid, I am not able to have a long-term pet in my living situation. I do sometimes take care of my neighbors cat, however I'd like to spend more time with dogs as they are my favorite. I currently work doing pizza delivery around 30+ hours a week. I can come home once or twice a shift between deliveries, but Id say that your pet needs to be comfortable being alone for at **LEAST** 4 hours at any given time. I've already had issues with a clients dog not handling my schedule well and damaging property as a result -- so I need to be clear on this. I am not home 24/7, but I can try my best. I also prefer a minimum 2 day notice for requests. You can still attempt to request boarding if its last minute, I get it, life happens. But I cannot guarantee a confirmation on anything less than 2 days. I have a fenced in backyard and currently no other animals or people in my home. I can provide a safe and comfortable living space for a dog. I do not mind if they are on my furniture or if they want to sleep in my bed at night.

Root Creek pet parents share their Rover experiences
I was so unsure of leaving home for a trip. First time I had left my beloved Moki alone for nights and three days! It was so reassuring to get updated and photo’s of him each visit. Shyanne was wonderful and I know he was loved and well taken care of! He was happy to see me and I know I wouldn’t hesitate to use Rover again. Thank you💜

Michele took such fabulous care of our babies! They can be shy with new friends, but warmed up to Michele so quickly - especially rare for our reserved calico. Rover cards were detailed and the photos were so cute! Highly recommend if you are seeking someone who will care for your pets like their own.

This is our second time booking with Emily, and we’ve loved her so much that we’ve referred friends to her who confirm the same sentiment: She is just fantastic at what she does. Her experience with young children as an elementary school teacher certainly translates to being phenomenal with furry friends! We were concerned that our shy calico would hide, but she was happily making friends within a few visits. Rover reports were detailed (and so sweet!) each day. Cannot continue recommending Emily enough!

Katie was phenomenal! She took great care of our three cats while we were away. She sent regular, detailed updates about how our cats were doing and sent pictures. This was our first trip away from our pets but I felt better knowing Katie was there to care for them. We will definitely rebook with Katie in the future. Thank you!

Alexandra came to walk my dog on short notice when I had an unexpectedly busy day, and he came home with a huge doggy smile on his face. I was home so got to greet her at the door and she is very pleasant and friendly. Will definitely be using her for future pet care!!
