“Mallory was our savior! On a trip out of town, our automatic chicken door stopped working in the mornings, and she was able to start right away to let our girls out, even with all of the snow. She was quick to respond and always arrived on time.”

About: I've had pets for ages, cats & dogs. Right now I don't have any, home is lacking! I have a special heart for smaller dogs! Right now, I'm working from home part time. So am pretty flexible watching your pet. My preference is to have your pet here in my home. I have a large fenced in back yard, dogs seem to love roaming in it! I prefer to crate at night and have always crated my dog when leaving home. I find dogs seem more secure when crated.
“It was a delight to meet Rachael for a drop in visit. My pup took to her immediately. Looking forward to her taking care of Pippa while we're away. She asked good questions, she had good responses to my questions, and she left me feeling much more comfortable about having someone stay in my home.”

“Nathan came through at the last minute for us…. Everything has been great. Nathan has kept me updated on how my dog Bear did outside the normal report. I’m very happy with the job Nathan is doing and hope he stays with us.”

“Again, I had a fabulous experience with Alexandra. She went above and beyond to spend time and make friends with my cat (who is a difficult little monster). Alexandra has gone out of her way to take care of us and me us feel special. I am devoted to her as my cat-sitter. Thank you again!”
“Deidre came to the rescue when our plans fell through for our dog last minute- she was able to come care for and let him out for a few days! She sent lots of pictures- and took good care of him.”

“Joanie was wonderful dropping in to take care of my cat. She's very dependable and sent many pictures and detailed reports so I knew how my girl was doing. Kitty was relaxed and happy when I got home so I know Joanie was very kind to her.”

“Quick response for a late request. Let me know when she was headed over and checked if there was anything else to get taken care of. I appreciate the comms and tryin to play with Tanqueray. Def will use again.”
“Marlee is a great find as a Rover. All though this is the first time using her services, we feel very comfortable and confident that to do so for future visits! Our rough collie also gives Marlee 5 stars!”

About: My mother has been a veterinarian for almost 30 years now, and we always had dogs in the home I grew up in, so I have learned a great deal about caring for them. Recently, I got to dog-sit my Aunt's two dogs while she was out of the country for several weeks, and I realized how much enjoyment it brings me. She knew me well enough to know that I only use positive reinforcement training. I am also experienced with dogs that are shy, aggressive, and in training. Contact me now to see if I am the perfect fit for your dog! Currently, I have a flexible schedule each week and can stop by your house for 30-60 minutes each morning, afternoon, and/or evening. Let me know the times you're considering at least a week in advance, if you can. I can come to your home to feed and medicate your dogs if needed. I enjoy playing and giving walks as well. Please let me know which are their favorite toys.
“Megan was wonderful with my 3 cats while we were out of town. I was worried the cats wouldn't warm up having a stranger show up to feed them, but Megan was patient and won them over. As a Rover sitter myself I appreciate the effort it takes to make that happen. I will be recommending Megan to anyone that contacts me to sit that I'm not able to do myself!”

“Olga is amazing with my boys!! She’s very sweet with them and always makes sure they have plenty of love!! My biggest dog can be jumpy and demanding. She is amazing with him!!”

“Savannah took care of our old gal Betty. She left everything as found and Betty seemed very grateful. Would definitely use Savannah in the future. Thank you!”
“Our pets loved having Katy watch after them while we were out of town. We have two senior cats who both need medication/insulin twice daily, and as Katy has two senior cats and two senior dogs of her own, she is very skilled at administering medications if your pet has that need. Our cat Birdy suddenly took ill while we were out of town, and Katy was very prompt with letting us know what was happening and took Birdy to the vet when she needed professional intervention. We are grateful to Katy for her kindness and helpfulness and love for the animals in her care.”
“Maddie checked on my cat and took care of my plants when I was gone for 2 weeks. I couldn’t be happier, my cat is doing great and the plants look better than when I left. Thanks Maddie!”

Royal Oaks pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mallory was a wonderful sitter for my two cats! It was very easy for me to leave them in her care. She followed all instructions and even helped clean up scattered litter, which is always appreciated when coming home from being away. Would recommend/book again!
