“Aiden was great with Maxwell. He was on time and took amazing care of the little man. He was able to do a meet and greet prior to his appointment which helped him warm up quite quick to Aiden. We will definitely be reaching out again for his help! Thanks again!”
“Thank you Jenni and Matt for being so wonderful! We had the best experience with our older lab. Ellie is getting too old to stay at kennels and we are more comfortable having her home where she is familiar and happy. Jenni and Matt stayed with Ellie over the weekend and did an amazing job. They were there frequently, spent lots of time with Ellie, and communicated with us through text and pictures. We are so appreciative of their help and very happy we found people we can trust. We are looking forward to planning more trips and using Jenni and Matt's services.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 10. With over 7 years of experience, I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. Whether it’s energetic puppies or gentle senior dogs, I always treat them like my own-with patience, love, and attention to detail. I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your pets! I’m available every day for walks, drop-ins, sitting, or boarding-weekdays and weekends. Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care whenever they need it. I live in a pet-friendly apartment and am just steps away from several parks-perfect for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. The building is secure and quiet, and I always create a calm, comfortable environment for your pet. I can also crate your dog if needed and follow any specific routines to help them feel right at home.
“Taylor is a huge help and Maxwell loves spending time with her! She is attentive and makes sure Maxwell is entertained and has someone to snuggle with during the day. 10/10 for sure!”
“Rackeeem was amazing! He took care of our house and our furry babies (a cat and a dog). He is great with animals. My cat is a very shy one. He always hides when I am away. But somehow, after eleven years I have him, he said hi to Rackeen, and also played with him! I highly recommend him.”

“Kathleen was great, she took great care of my pup Dizzy. She played with her outside and was able to spend time at my house to keep her comfortable while I was gone. Kathleen sent pictures of my pup and stayed in communication with me throughout my vacation. There was an issue with my fish tank leaking and Kathleen caught it and let me know as soon as she saw it. This allowed me to come home and fix the issue and then continue my vacation. I would not hesitate to recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a sitter or to re-book in the future. This booking was my first time using Rover and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks again Kathleen.”

I was actually able to enjoy my vacation knowing my boys were being taken care of! They looked happy in the pics too! We will definitely be using Reid in the future!”

“If I could tell everyone about booking cailah and how awesome she was I would. Cailah stayed at my house during 4th of July weekend and I came home to everything in 10/10 condition. She gives the most perfect updates and even took them for morning walks. Gotta love it.”

“We were nervous about leaving our senior cat with multiple health issues with anyone, but after reading Ciara’s profile and meeting her with Walter, we left him and our home in her care. She handled everything exactly as we hoped, followed instructions exactly, and kept us informed every day. She stayed until we returned, and the house was perfect. Walter was content, calm and happy.”

Nija H.
“I had a family emergency out of state and needed someone to sit with my furry family member, Beemer. I used Nija to walk him previously and she told me if I ever needed a sitter, let her know. I called her frantic and she was accommodating to my request! I gave her the option to stay at my apartment or take him to her home; she opted to take him to hers. Throughout the week I was away, Nija sent me random pictures and short videos of Beemer playing, resting and simply just having fun being away. She said at first he seemed anxious but after a few hours, he seemed more relaxed and played with her doggie. We have used Nija's services on a frequent basis and she is a trust worthy person with my precious little one!”

Skyler R.
“Skyler has been taking care of my dog for more than five years now and does an excellent job. He adores her, and is always very excited to see her. She genuinely loves him, and does little extra things with him like throw his Frisbee for him and teach him new tricks. She has this intuition when something is amiss with him, and has brought my attention to areas of concern before they became big problems. I never have to worry about my boy when he's with Sky, and that means the world. I recommend her highly.”
Sassafras pet parents share their Rover experiences
Reid was AMAZING!! This was his first time staying with my two needy Boxers and they loved him. I almost felt bad coming home because they were having the best time with him. So genuine and caring for my animals and the daily updates with photos /videos put my mind at ease and were so appreciated. I can’t remember the last time I went away and didn’t have to worry about my pets/home/garden. Five star sitter all the way!! Already booked him for my next trip!! Thank you, Reid!!
