I am very picky about who I choose to care for my pets! Gillian did an amazing job! She was right on time every day and she followed all of the instructions I left. She was communicative and most importantly, my cat loved her! I felt so at ease knowing Dahlia was in safe hands and she was so happy and well taken care of when we arrived home! Thank you Gillian!

Amber was fantastic! She set up a meet and greet with my animals and they immediately loved her. She had excellent communication and asked for expectations. We went over medications and time frames and she was very honest with her availability and schedule. Not only that, I was a dummy and had requested wrong dates in the future when I needed her that weekend. She was THANKFULLY available and we booked! The animals were well taken care of, we got tons of photos of our babies, and updates on our escape artists (cats). Not only that, I’m pretty sure she washed a few dishes in our sink which was such an amazing surprise after driving home from our weekend hockey tournament. It was a great experience and I look forward to hopefully booking her again!

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life . 30 + years. I currently have a 6 yr old Scottish terrier who gets lots of walks & exercise daily. Family & Friends always rely on me to help take care of their fur babies! A walk a day will keep the vet away for your babies ! My schedule is flexible for dog walking rain or shine ! I can come morning & late afternoon/ evening. I like to make sure a pet gets a well timed lengthy walk with attention. 😁 I treat any dog like my own. Lots of TLC & attention. I like to establish trust with the dog and build off that !

Best sitter we've had from Rover so far. (We have talked to several sitters, we liked and were highly qualified). Scott was above and beyond. He had Gremlin be a lap kitty (which he isn't usually, unless he'sstressed) and gave him extra love. It was Gremlin's first time w/o his people since he lost his housemate Dany. Will definitely be our first go to from now on.

Pamala was great at communicating when Oreo was unsure of what was going on during the first visit. She didn’t just leave when Oreo didn’t go out right away and gave time for Oreo to warm up to her.

About: What sets me apart is that I focus on making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s personality and routine, whether they’re high-energy puppies or older dogs who need a slower pace and extra care. I’m especially comfortable with: - Puppies and young dogs, including reinforcing basic training like leash manners, potty routines, and positive behavior. - Senior dogs who may need gentler walks, medication reminders, mobility support, or a calmer environment. - Dogs with anxiety or shy temperaments, using patience and positive reinforcement to build trust. - Keeping owners updated with photos, walk summaries, and clear communication so they always know how their pet is doing. I treat every dog like they’re my own and aim to provide dependable care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. I work part-time from home remotely, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your dogs. Available for dog walking after 3pm. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, personality, exercise needs, feeding routine, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and companionship while also respecting the owner’s space and routine. I keep litter boxes or outdoor areas clean, monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health, and provide regular updates with photos and messages. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of supervision, affection, and structured routines. I make sure pets have comfortable spaces to rest, opportunities for exercise and enrichment, and slow introductions if other pets are present. My priority is always making pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in reliable hands.

We were so worried about leaving our new rescue alone for more than 5 hours and then we went to rover and I found Madeline 10/10 she is so caring and loving to the dogs it clearly comes natural to her she followed everything down to the last detail perfectly. Our dog used to bark for hours when we left … after she is with her my dog seems so content and happy. 1000% recommend!!!

Adrianna did a couple drop in visits while we were out of town on vacation to hang out with our cat. Adrianna was amazing with our Zoey, giving Zoey the attention she deserves while we were gone, and was prompt and friendly to communicate with. We plan to hire her again for other times we need someone to stay with our cat or dog!

About: Hello there, fellow pet parents! I’m Taylor and I can’t wait to meet your furry, feathery, and scaly companions! I have spent as much of my life as I can remember caring for and being around all types of animals. Honestly being around animals just makes me the happiest I could be. I have 5 rescue animals of my own! 2 dogs, 2 Cats, and a bird! All of which I rescued not from a shelter but by very happy coincidences! I work part time at a boarding facility so I’m with animals not just at home but at work as well!! I work remote for my full time job half the week so my availability is pretty open. As I work at a boarding facility I have a wealth of experience when it comes to a wide verity of pets. I understand the importances of feeding times, administration of medication, and routines in general. Your pets health and safety is my top priority. I know when I am away from my animals I love getting updates so I believe communication is key. I love sending photos and updates so when you’re not there you can still feel with them! I am dedicated to providing the service that I would want for my pet family. Your pets happiness is my top priority! I am very excited to meet your pets! I work remote half of the week so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals on the other days I can be there before and after my shift. I will treat your dog and your home as if it were my own. I follow the established routine provided by the owner to ensure a stress free and fun time

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of individualized care and attention I give every dog. I don’t just “watch” pets — I truly get to know their personalities, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience training puppies, including basic commands, leash manners, crate training, and reinforcing positive behaviors. I’m also confident caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or mobility support. Whether your pup is high-energy and playful or calm and cuddly, I adapt to their unique temperament. I prioritize clear communication, regular photo updates, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and owners. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being always come first. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine — I intentionally structure my schedule to make sure I have dedicated, unhurried time for each dog. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, playtime, feeding schedules, or evening cuddles, I plan my days around the pets in my care so they receive consistent attention and companionship. I build flexibility into my week to accommodate different energy levels and needs, from active pups who love longer walks to seniors who prefer shorter, gentler outings. Because I prioritize reliability and routine, your dog can count on consistent care, and you can count on dependable communication and updates. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I genuinely make space for. In My Home: When pets stay with me, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow your feeding schedules, potty routines, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide. Dogs receive plenty of supervised playtime, walks, mental stimulation, and affection. I’m mindful of introductions (if other pets are present), keep the space clean and secure, and make sure every dog has a comfortable area to rest and relax. In Your Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine to reduce stress. I stick closely to feeding times, walks, and preferred activities. I also respect your home by keeping things tidy, bringing in mail if requested, and ensuring everything is secure before I leave. My goal is to make your absence feel as smooth and normal as possible for your pet. For both services, I prioritize safety, communication, and regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.

Mary took such good care of our gang of quadrupeds. We booked last minute but she was still able to schedule a meet & greet with the crew prior to caring for them. One of our dogs (ok, 2) struggles with new people, but Mary was patient and took her on a little trust walk to get acclimated, which meant a lot to us. She was a dream and we highly recommend her to care for your loved ones too!
