“Jazmine was wonderful with my two corgis. One of my dogs has terrible anxiety, but Jazmine was able to really help her stay calm and get through her scared moments. She also did some training for my younger dog. She was always punctual, a very good communicator, and handled herself professionally.”

“We were in town visiting family with our young pooch who we’d not yet left home alone. Valeriya pet sat for us so we could do dinners out with the family. She was responsive to our inquiry, was on time, thoughtful and a calm presence for our pooch. She was great to work with. We’d definitely reach out again when we are in town and need pet care.”
About: I have worked in the vet field for 5+ years. Also am familiar with boarding procedures. I.e: special feeding instructions, Separate feeding + meds etc I am a very active person. Walking for a good amount of time would not phase me and if your pets requires some outdoor time. That expectation will definitely be met. I mix my everyday lifestyle with working with animals whenever I can I am very patient, loving, and overall a sucker for fur baby! I have had my fair share of experiences with all kinds of fur babies! From young to senior! My experience will definitely go above and beyond
About: I’m the mom to a cat named Zeppelin, a dog named Stevie and a horse named Cece. I successfully trained both Stevie and Zeppelin (yes you can train a cat!) myself and have dabbled in equine training as well. Being the guardian of a nervous, reactive pup, I pride myself on understanding animal behavior and dog body language. After bringing Stevie home, I was quickly thrown into the world of dog training and behavior modification out of necessity and I have a special place in my heart for nervous pups. I've even started training other people's dogs on the side! After training my own dog, I fell in love with the process and couldn't put it down! I’ve also worked in a veterinary office and feel confident in my abilities to keep your animals safe and know how to handle emergencies. I’m a lab assistant for an environmental toxicology lab and train dogs on the side. I am available for drop ins and walks in the late afternoon and evening most days as well as any time on Sunday’s. At this time I am not available for boarding or overnight stays. I’ll treat your pets like I treat my own, all of mine are rescues that took time, patience and trust to get to where we are now. I understand that having a new person around might be scary for your pet at first but I look forward to building a relationship with them so we all feel safe and comfortable. Having a nervous, reactive dog and a nervous cat has taught me how to better understand dog and cat body language and to go at their own pace.
“Madeline was great! She took great care of my kitty while I was away. She had great communication and provided lots of pictures and details about each visit. I would definitely have her pet sit again!”
“Our girls love Marion and so do we! She great with communication and great with our girls. She let us know when our hound was acting different and sent plenty of pictures so we got to see our girls. We’re happy to have someone we can trust with our girls whenever we need a sitter”

“Carol did a fantastic job on taking care of our super fussy and shy two kitties on a very short notice. She was very understanding and accommodating to my changing situation, challenging personalities of my kitties, and worked with me throughout the duration of the stay. She is highly professional and caring and updated me with the detailed reports on them after each visit so I was be able to be at ease and did not have to worry about them during my trip. I really appreciated her help and I will definitely work with her again and highly recommend her.”

I am a volunteer at a local animal shelter, so I have a great deal of experience handling animals from all walks of life. I recently relocated, so I am offering discounted rates as well as a promo code for first time Rover users: DANIEA95969 If you have a dog with reactivity, I am happy to help! Reactivity can be a stressful matter for owners to endure with their pet, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve to be outside and explore. Feel free to message me with questions if you would like to set up walks with your reactive dog. I also have experience with senior dog care including walking challenges, diaper changes, and oral medication. No matter the breed or size, I will care for them like my own!

Andrea was amazing to work with as always! And it is clear that our cats love her too! She is incredibly responsive and follows (even my most ridiculous) directions to a tee! As someone who is very anxious to leave my cats, I always feel like they are in great hands with her and I wasn’t worried at all on my trip.
Flora took exceptional care of our two cats while we were away. She is professional, friendly, and an excellent communicator. She always arrives on time, and is flexible when situations arise. I highly recommend Flora as a pet sitter because she is trustworthy, responsible, responsive, friendly, educated, and an excellent communicator.
Asja watched my cat over the holidays while I went home and was the best! She was able to match my schedule through the holidays and be there for my cat. She was very attentive and responsive and always kept me updated with pictures. Would defintely recommend.
I had a wonderful experience with Katie dropping in to check on my cat Penelope. Katie’s communication kept me in the loop throughout the week, providing reassurance that Penelope was well taken care of and happy. I would absolutely recommend Katie to anyone with pets to care for, and will be using her again in the future.
Jessica was great with our two cats, would totally recommend her to a friend! This was our first time using Rover and she helped us through the process. We got to meet beforehand so she could get familiar with the cats and their specific needs. We always got cute pictures from each visit. Our cats loved her!
