“Once again, Jennifer was terrific! She is reliable, compassionate and professional taking care of our pets. She was also flexible when I made a date error with our booking this time. I would not hesitate to rebook anytime we are out of town.”

“Samantha is great! We have a nervous pup who takes some warming up but she does an amazing job and in just a couple visits he has gotten so comfortable with her. It eases our mind when we are away. We are thankful for such great service from Sam. She goes above and beyond for our fur babies!”

“Alyssa is absolutely AMAZING!! She took my booking at the very last minute. She’s a God send!! Isla was clearly happy to make a new friend. I appreciate Alyssa’s prompt availability and excellent friendly service. She was thorough and informative just all around awesome!! So grateful for her service!”

“Josh was a lifesaver in providing assistance with my puppy. He had the flexibility (last minute, I may add) to do drop-in visits for potty breaks, play and lunch time. Josh has been great and I appreciate everything he has done and my Anubis seems to enjoy his visits as demonstrated through the pictures I receive.”

“I was most pleased with leaving my cats with Katie for 2 weeks. She came by twice a day to feed and tend the litter box. She was punctual everyday and gave the cats the attention they needed. I will definitely book with her again.”

“Selena was able to watch my cat with only three days notice. My regular sitter canceled at the last minute before my vacation. My cat was happy and healthy when I returned home. The feeding schedules were a little different than he was used to because we were squeezed in at the last minute.”

“Lejuana did a wonderful job taking care of my kitties. One was sick and needed multiple pills. Lejuana went to great strides to get her to take the meds. Also provided extra TLC for a very unhappy kitty. Would definitely get Lejuana again whenever needed!”

About: I care for my four cats at home and have taken care of dogs for my neighbors and friends. I like giving individual care to every pet I care for and ensuring your daily routines are kept with your pet. I interact, play, and take care of my pets nearly all day. Daily feedings, cleaning, and keeping of general well-being are part of my daily routine. I try to stay consistent with your routine for your pet to create a familiar environment for your furry friend. Whether drop-in care, overnight stays, or walks, I put effort into maintaining the environment that is right for your pet.
“Katlin was wonderful this Summer with our boxer puppy Leia! She dropped by and played with Leia, took Leia to play with her pups, and kept Leia overnight! Highly recommend Katlin.”

“Hunter is an absolutely great pet sitter. She has helped me out well over 50 times and she consistently provides great service. She is good in communication and takes time to form a connection with those in her care. Hunter is a kind person, even delivering dinner to me after my mother passed recently. Such a jewel! I can't recommend her enough!”

About: I have cared and loved on pets for as long as I can remember, either through family friends, neighbors, and of course the animals in my home. As a Personal Trainer, Outdoor Adventures Guide, Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Aide, and previous babysitter/camp counselor I have a passion for the outdoors, staying active, and experience with caretaking. I am currently an undergraduate student with flexible hours, experience with high energy pets, and seeking an opportunity to give your pets amazing help and care! I'm currently a undergraduate student with flexible work hours, allowing ample time to spend with your pets! I love taking walks in both the morning and afternoon, and would greatly enjoy a furry companion to join me! House and petsitting in a clients home will include frequent play time either in the backyard or at a dog-park, ample cuddle time, and daily walks. I will also ensure that the home is tidy and that any pet mess is take care of during my stay.
“My older cat doesn't do people and Ashley actually saw her a couple times when she stopped in - that's huge! She went above and beyond by also taking care of my plants as well as my cats. :) She's a keeper.”

“Rebecca was extremely personable and within seconds of meeting her I knew that my dog would love her and that she would be extremely trustworthy and great to work with. She sent lots of amazing pictures and updates!! My pup looked like he had a blast with her! I will definitely be booking with her again!!!!”

Salem pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hank sure enjoys the drop in visits from Michael. Michael checks the water, food, and litter - but then spends some quality time playing, petting, and interacting with Hank (and sending a few pics) . Michael's drop in visits during our last two vacations have been great,and we will use him again when available.

Selena was able to watch my cat with only three days notice. My regular sitter canceled at the last minute before my vacation. My cat was happy and healthy when I returned home. The feeding schedules were a little different than he was used to because we were squeezed in at the last minute.

Bailey is wonderful! We have a big dog, and she took such great care of him while we were out of town. He was struggling with some hot spots too, and she took exceptionally great care of those, applying mel-a-ket multiple times a day. The hot spots were pretty much healed when we got back from our trip.

Jade always takes excellent care of my pets! She is attentive to detail and always leaves my place the same (or better) than how I left it. My cat was congested this past stay and she even ran a hot shower to give him some time in a steam room to help him out. She consistently goes above and beyond!
