“Jason is the best! He took great care of my lab/hound mix and micro golden doodle. They clearly loved him, and he was responsible, communicative, and dependable. Definitely will be reaching out for further sittings”
“Melissa is simply amazing. We have re-booked her over 10 times for home visits and home sitting our pet, Scott. We all were going on an international trip of ~10 days and we were worried since this was the first time we using someone’s services to stay at home and take care of Scott. Punctuality is Melissa’s virtue and Scott was absolutely comfortable with her. All those 10 days, we were very peaceful and Melissa ensured, with pictures and videos of Scott, that we were always in touch! A very big shout out to Melissa for a fantastic service!”
“Kimberly was great! We've never used a pet-sitter before so were a little nervous, but Kimberly came over to meet us and our dog before we left and put our minds at ease. Our pup took to her right away when she visited and we appreciated the thoughtful questions she asked. She was a great communicator before and during her stay with our pup and sent so many great photos. Just got home from our trip and the house is spotless. Definitely recommend!”
“Kathy knows her business and has a natural connection with dogs. Our little Chihuahua mix is very shy with strangers, but Kathy gave her a "massage" that immediately won her over. We were very comfortable knowing Kathy was taking care of our dog and two cats for the holidays. Highly recommended.”
“Jess was wonderful with our golden retriever! She was prompt, efficient and communicative which eased any worry we had. I would definitely recommend Jess for any dog service you need!”
“☆☆☆☆☆ It was a blessing to find Sharon. She was truly wonderful. She gave great care to our pets and our home. She kept a pet journal and sent photos and videos of our two dogs. She brought in the mail, kept an eye on the place and alerted us to any issues. We will definitely use Sharon again.”
“Christian is comfortable around animals and clearly loves them a lot! When we met him, he gave us a great sense of confidence that he would care for our babies well in our absence — and he did! During his stay, he sent us pictures and updates and he responded quickly to messages. We came home to a safe and happy fur family ❤️”
“John was excellent. He went above and beyond in every respect. We give our highest recommendation. John not only was very conscientious with our 2 dogs but also cleaned up our yard after the storm, hung our flag and fixed our trellis! We will definitely be booking again!”
“I reached out to Tricia in a bit of a panic as our normal dog sitting options fell through very last minute. Not only did she make time to help, she went above and beyond to make sure our puppy feel loved. Right from the meet and greet my dog took to her like she was part of the family, and my travel anxiety was immediately put at ease as she ran through her care plan. We truly can't thank you enough, Tricia! You were amazing in every way!”
About: I have many years of experience caring for cats and dogs, I grew up with 3 dogs and 2 cats, and I have 5 years of experience dealing with cats with Feline Diabetes. I have 4 cats that I love and care for every day, they are my whole world! I am available on nights, weekends, and holidays. In my clients home, I would get to know the animals first and make them feel comfortable with me, and make sure I listen carefully to the clients instructions on how to care for the pet(s).
About: If you require a morning walker or need someone to run a few miles with your energetic dog, I am your person. I have experience with various types and sizes of pets. I am also very meticulous about their needs and yours. Please let me know their preferences and behaviors so I can best meet their needs. As a student my schedule varies but it I am typically available for morning and afternoon services such as walks and check-ins. I could also accommodate afternoons services depending on the week and request. My weekends are typically free unless specified otherwise. Available to do overday dog sitting on weekends (Friday, Saturday) If you are requesting drop-in services at your house, please let me know what your pet requires. I can offer play time, refill water and food, medication administration, brushing, and complete certain household tasks. Occasionally, if I do overday dog-sitting, your dog will have a fenced-in backyard to run around in.
About: I am a pet parent to a mixed breed dog who is 14 years old, a 20 year-old Bengal cat and a 7 year-old Siamese cat. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have plenty of experience caring for them. I am recently retired so I have the time to take care of your pet(s) when you need a reliable dog/cat sitter or dog walker. I can come to your home for house sitting, drop-in visits and/or dog walking. I understand the stress of leaving your pets home alone while you are at work or away on vacation and the importance of finding someone who will care for them while you are away from home.
About: I started dog walking when I was in the 6th grade in order to earn some cash as a first job. Since then I have walked and cared for dogs quite often, staying over night in houses as well to give them my full attention. Currently, I am home during the week and am available at all hours of the week days. I have three dogs of my own; a westie, a bassethound, and a standard poodle. All of my dogs are exceptional around other dogs, I have never had a problem woth their behavior when I bring other dogs home to watch. I have a grass yard with plenty of space for them to run. I will give all dogs my full attention and love as I care for them, ensuring that they are not alone while their owner is away. I work from home full time and love the animal breaks! I take walks to break up my work day and love to bring a dog or two with me! I value my little fur baby and having her around throughout the day, and since I am home your pet can get endless potty breaks just like mine! I have a huge fenced yard and a very playful GSD. I’m also pretty athletic and can play with your animals as much as they need. I can come to your home for a walk and a play break as well. My care includes my GSD hanging out with me all day as I work. If she is not outside running around, she is laying by me. I have the ability to take 5 minute breaks to play with her and bring her outside. If you prefer a check up at your own home, I can come to your home and do the same! I have experience with diabetic dogs, senior dogs, and even a disabled dog who has no use of his back legs.
“Khadijah was wonderful with our super nervous pitbull Harley. Khadijah was very patient, calm and made every effort to try and accommodate our Harley who is extremely nervous with new people. We appreciated how much communication Khadijah had with us while we were away over the weekend, we had no worries whatsoever leaving our home in Khadijah’s caring hands! Thank you again for taking care of our girl, we sincerely appreciate you!!”

Saint James pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time boarding my cat and Hayley made it super easy and gave me much peace of mind. She was kind and patient, sent lots of pictures and videos, was super flexible with any schedule changes I may have had and was super welcoming! I can’t explain how grateful I am for her service and having someone I can trust with my baby for any future trips I may have!
Khadijah is awesome! This is the 2nd time we have booked Khadijah to look after our Pitbulls, this time she looked after our other pitbull named Gunner. She is very reliable, excellent communicator, sends updates and pictures during the visit. We trust having Khadijah look after our fur children whenever we are out of town. We would highly recommend her!
