“Sophie is absolutely amazing! Definitely one of (if not the) best Rover sitters that we’ve had! She met with us beforehand to review everything, and kept in constant communication throughout the time we were away. Our cat was obsessed with Sophie from the meet and greet, and we could tell from the updates we received she remained throughly happy ☺️ We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Emalee was awesome. Had to cancel the first sitting due to unavoidable circumstance. She was very accommodating for a future date. She made the scheduled drop in visits and I trusted her implicitly. Would definitely use her again.”
“Wonderful! Kayligh was friendly and professional. We booked her for 2x/day drop ins, for feeding and insulin for my 14 year old cat. He’s very personable and after losing his companion cat last year seems to be lonely when we left. My last sitter would medicate and leave, but Kayligh stayed and played and visited with him. She was perfectly on time and very friendly with us and him. Would book again, and I definitely recommend her.”
“Ona did a great job! She easily followed my complicated instructions ;) She sent an informative update and cute pics from each visit. My kitty loved her. Would definitely hire her again, except I'm moving out of state.”
“Jessica is fantastic she came for a previsit and met our pup who immediately took a liking to her. The day of her first scheduled visits she allowed our dog to warm up to her at his own pace and was patient and kept me informed. We will be welcoming her back real soon. I highly recommend Jessica.”
“Suzanne was a great communicator and reliable! I appreciated the pictures and videos and most importantly felt that my animals were being well taken care of! Would use again!”
“Daniel is really helpful and accommodating for my cat who generally dislikes most people. I’m grateful to know he’s checking in our her and making sure she gets her daily medication. Thanks, Daniel!!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We are so grateful to have found Morgan! She took care of our whole kitty crew with incredible attentiveness, warmth, and good humor. From the moment we connected, she was friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with — even asking thoughtful questions ahead of time to make sure they had all the details right. Throughout the week, we received daily updates, adorable photos, and sweet little stories about our cats’ personalities (even shy Chanchita came out of her shell!). She followed our very detailed instructions perfectly, including medication, litter box care, and keeping an eye out for mischievous Mr. Bingley’s adventures. When we accidentally left out a knife and panicked, they calmly reassured us it was already handled. She even took care of little extras like bringing in a Chewy delivery and making sure the finicky keypad didn’t slow them down. We came home to happy, well-fed, calm cats — who honestly seemed a little bummed their new best friends weren’t still around. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Morgan again. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for caring, reliable, and genuinely lovely people to care for your furry family!”
“Calli was wonderful with our 70-lb Golden. It's clear that she knows and loves dogs, and Juniper seemed at ease with her right away. She was very in tune with our dog's needs regarding the heat and activity level. Thank you, Calli!”
About: Hey there! My name is Abigail and I love dogs SO MUCH. I grew up with a wonderful mutt and wanted my own for a long time. I finally got my puppy, Griffy who was born in June 2018. He's grown into such a wonderful dog, and would love some friends to stay with him here in my apartment. I am a nurse and I work three 12- Hour shifts a week, so when I am off I have plenty of time to watch your pup! I will care for yours like he/she is my own, and if they love to play with other energetic dogs, thats even better! I would love the opportunity to watch your pup if you're going away for just a night, or even longer, and I can be flexible to help meet your needs. I am willing to pick up and drop off your dog if necessary, and am happy to administer any medications. I know how important routine is for dogs, so if you have a certain way you like to do things, I am MORE than happy to try to keep the consistency. Thanks for considering letting me watch your pup while you’re away!
About: I’m a professional handler making a pivot to personalized individual care. I have experience in the training world; I’ve even trained my own service dog. I’ve also worked in behavioral health as a Canine Care Technician. I’m currently a student a RIT studying for a career in Public Safety. I do almost exclusively afternoon/evening classes and am willing to wake up early just for the special cat or dog in your life. I am certified in Fear Free/LIMA techniques and have a grasp on positively-reinforced Balance training. I will default to your family’s system to maintain a safe environment for your beloved pets. With your consent, I will leave the house better than I found it; dishes (including water/food bowls) will be washes and the floor swept. We will agree on appropriate times for me to send updates and you will get as many photos as you could possibly want (I have mastered portrait mode on my phone as it relates pet photography. You can ask for previous works.) Thank you for the opportunity to help you optimize your pet’s day. It will be a day full of joy and whimsy!
About: I got my first dog Roxie at 8 years old. My mom made me a big part of her training and I assumed full responsibility after a few months. Summer 2021, I adopted a dog for myself and it’s been a blast! I have experience handling surgery recovery and medication administration. Douglas and I would love to have some more company over the summer! I work part-time at Lasertron which is only open Thursday-Sunday and though my schedule isn’t the same every weekend I know my shifts are 6-9 hours long. The other days I will be at home with Douglas doing summer classwork and hanging out, and I may volunteer once a week at the hospital though the day has not been set for that yet. I have a 1 y/o 11lbs Yorkiepoo named Douglas living here with me who loves other dogs of all sizes and is extremely tolerant of cats. The neighborhood is pretty quiet but there’s a small dog park and sidewalks throughout the whole neighborhood. Doug generally alerts when he needs to use the restroom and grazes on food, but if there’s a bathroom and food schedule you’d like just let me know.
“Nikki did a fantastic job! We left for an eight day trip and needed someone to care for our four cats while we were away… She was happy to come over in advance and meet them to learn their routines, including give them medication and prescription foods for their different needs. She also made sure to give them treats and affection, and update us daily with reports and pics. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone!”
About: Hi, I’m Jackie! 🐾 With many years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I truly love what I do. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs extra exercise or a shy kitty who needs gentle companionship, I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, responsible, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs and personality. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority. I look forward to meeting your furry family member! I currently work full time and am looking for an extra side gig! I am available all weekends and weekday evenings after 4:30 to care for your animal! I have experience with high anxiety dogs, so I understand that a new face can be hard for some furry friends! I also have experience with my dog pulling on his leash while walking, so I know how to handle that situation.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I looked after neighborhood dogs when the family would be out of town. I walk them, feed them, play with them, and have had dogs stay with me at my home. I take care of my own dog and we are very active. Being active is part of my dog’s breed and is something I could provide for animals that are at home while owners are at work or out of town. I live in a townhome with one dog that will keep your pet busy! Sage loves to play, run, and swim. As far as going to other homes I have stayed in the home for a couple hours playing with the animals. Either one works for me. When we do have another dog stay with us, we constantly stay active and also have time for rest. Dog parks, hikes, walking on the beach, are some examples of activities that I have done with other dogs.
“Hannah was great about communicating and very professional. Due to travel problems some adjustments were needed at the last minute. I would definitely contact her again in the future.”

Westley-Morgan T.
“My cats are not fans of new people. Westley sat on the couch for 5 minutes before he had Phantom next to him. Sebastian gave him bumps too. I have also never seen a person off social media care as much about a pet's mental engagement as I have seen Wes care about his dogs. If anyone will make you pet as comfortable as possible while away from their favorite human, it's him.”

She spent her time talking care of Georgia, giving her the love she needed and put my mind at ease knowing she was in great hands!! I highly recommend Jacqueline and I’ll be using her from here on out! 5 stars all a round! Book with her you will not be disappointed!! And your animals will be loved and cared for!”
Julie B.
“What a great job she did. I am so happy with her service”
Morgan B.
“Morgan was a part-time caretaker for my dog for almost two years. We met at a job that required us to work many hours a day, often more than 8 hours at a time. This was tough for me and first because I struggled to be okay with leaving my dog for that long. Morgan definitely was a savior. She was stop to let my dog out on multiple occasions throughout the week. Not only would she let him out, she always made sure his food and water were filled and she took him on a walk to get out of the house. Beyond the weekday visits, I often left my dog with her for days at a time when I knew I had a busy work schedule coming up. Morgan truly has a heart for animals and would recommend her to care of your pet as well!”
