“Amy was absolutely fantastic with my three cats while we were away for over a week. She was always on time, sent great pictures, was communicative, played with them each visit and really knew their personalities a few days in! I made a mistake with my dates and realized I would be back the day after I intended and Amy was exceptionally flexible with date changes and took care of my babies an extra day, which I’m so grateful for. We came home to three well fed, taken care of, happy and playful cats! Highly recommend Amy to take care of your furry babies!”


“this was my first experience on Rover, and Chris made it very good and worry free!! He communicated every trip to the house and added pictures and comments about Kilo. Would definetly book with him again! Thanks so much Christopher”



“Jackie was incredibly responsive to my messages. She is kind, respectful and caring. I had no doubt my 8-week old new puppy was well taken care of when Jackie dropped in for a visit.”


“Kayla took such good care of my pup! It was so nice not to have to worry while I was gone. Kayla provided pics and a helpful update for each visit, which I so appreciated. I’d highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!”


“Prompt, professional service. Really appreciate the last minute help!”


“Ann and Kyle were amazing. They spent extra time with our senior dogs and took wonderful care of them! Other than checking on the camera to see what the dogs were doing, we never worried about them because Ann and Kyle were keeping us updated. We would definitely use their services again. We highly recommend them!”


“Angelina was so great with Athena. She was on time and so patient & kind with our girl who can sometimes take a minute to warm up to new people. We will definitely be using her again!”


“Amazing sitter! We’ve booked with Mary before and when we were planning a trip out of town, we didn’t hesitate to book again. She’s so attentive to our cat and communicates so well with us. Will definitely book again!”


“We hesitate to take trips because we worry about the stress it creates for our cats. Strangers can make them shy and disrupt their meal time, which is important due to medication needs of one of our cats. Kim was dedicated to feeding times and shared pictures showing us our fur babies were eating as planned. Our cats were clearly comfortable with Kim giving us the peace of mind to enjoy our time away. We highly recommend Kim.”


“Susan always does a fantastic job and I can go on vacation knowing that my cat will be well taken care of! She sends us daily pictures and videos and is always in touch if she has any concerns. I highly recommend Susan!”

“Super detailed reports were very appreciated during our busy trip! She also got Tito to play which isn’t easily done as a “stranger” to Tito. Would definitely recommend!”


“Rebecca was great! We have a pretty nervous cat and Rebecca got her to open up in their first meeting! Handled everything we requested and even helped bring in our mail while we were gone. Can't recommend enough!”


“Dax was stress free when I got back! Thanks Andrew!!”


“Audrey was amazing with my fur baby, Miley! She was so kind and patient. She took lots of photos and always communicated well during my trip away. I’m so thankful for Audrey’s help with Miley!”



“Rebecca goes above and beyond in caring for Archie. From the photos to the detailed comments after the visits. Highly recommend and will use her again for sure.”


“Octavia saved us with a no-notice booking after one of our boys decided he would rather chase snowflakes instead of going "potty' before we had to leave for work lol. She was prompt with her response and was incredibly flexible. The boys also love her!”


“Dalvane did a great job with a pop-in visit... played some games with our dog (and took video) and cleaned up his play area a bit. All in all a success, will book him again!”


About: I am a second year zoology major with the intention of further education in animal care. I have cared for the family dogs for just about six years (a combined number of four at this point). I am my family and friends' go to sitter. I am reliable and consistent. I am comfortable with pretty much anything, and have plenty of experience with reactive/aggressive dogs. During the summer I work full-time, and I'm a full-time student during the school year, however I don't have much going on outside of that and have plenty of time for drop-in care throughout the day. I’m also totally okay with overnight stays. Unfortunately, my own dogs don't allow for me to watch dogs within my own home. However, I'm happy to fulfill whatever responsibilities necessary within yours.

About: Hi I’m Noah, I live with my girlfriend and our 2 year old lab mix, Laser. I have had dogs my entire life, along with fostering over 15 different dogs during the last 3 years. I have experience with all types of dogs from different backgrounds. My girlfriend and I are very involved in local community animal shelters. We frequently foster dogs to save them from difficult situations and rehome them in loving families. Between the two of us, your pup will be very loved!! My house has a small unfenced yard but we are very active. We go on long walks twice a day with park play time throughout the week. Laser is energetic so your dog will definitely be well exercised. Let us know if that’s okay with your pup! On the flip side, we can also cater to chill dogs by snuggling on the couch together. Let us know their temperament and we will accommodate to ensure they are most comfortable! We have been on Rover for the last 2 years and have a lot of experience caring for all types of dogs. We send lots of pictures and general information updates. We do ask for a meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along and let your pup start familiarizing with our place! My girlfriend, Margaret, is home all day and does rover full time. She will be able to accommodate to any schedule and will give your pup the most love and attention possible. On weekends, we’re both home and taking care of the pups is our first priority. We may have other dogs staying with us since Margaret is home full time. Please inquire and we can let you know how many and what the temperament of everyone is. We don’t take more than 2 households at a time. Your dog will be loved just like our dog. Please let us know your dog’s habits so we can make them feel as comfortable as possible. Does he/she graze their food, prefer treats at a certain time, can sleep alone or needs company, prefer rubber to stuffed toys? We aim for a welcoming environment with lots of toys and treats. I do ask that your dog is house trained and will not destroy anything if they are not crated. If they are not fully house trained, please provide a crate for the short periods of time we’re not home. We also ask that they are up to date with all flea, tick and heart worm medication.
