“Karen was great with my cat! She refilled Smokey's water and food bowls, emptied her litter box daily, and made sure to give my cat treats and play with her. Every day Karen sent me a paragraph describing the visit along with several photos, which I greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!”

“Samuel was incredibly nice and thoughtful! He was happy to make sure my dogs aren’t out of their normal routine while I was gone and was kind enough to send me pictures of them during his visits! Thank you so much Samuel!”

“Ashley has always been great with my puppies. They are hard to handle and full of energy, and yet she somehow manages great photos and videos of them while keeping them entertained. She follows all special instructions to the letter, and she is always on time. Can’t say enough about how much my puppies love her visits!”

“This was my first time leaving my cat alone with anyone other than myself, so I was extremely nervous but Shauna was amazing! Instantly made me feel comfortable and I loved the report card aspect Rover offers. I came back after a little under a week and Seraphine was as happy as can be. Will be rebooking for my next trip for sure 🩷”

“Veronica is very friendly and did so great with our small dog and cat! She sent updates every visit with cute pictures and went through their routines perfectly :) I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!”
“Lindsey was a great sitter for our dogs. She worked with us on some last minute changes to our schedule. She was always on time with the drop in visits and she took great care of our little ones. We will be using her again in the future.”

“Olivia was amazing! She came by to feed our senior cat who only eats wet food. We also have other cats that can make things tricky since they always want that food too, but she followed our instructions perfectly and handled it with no problem. It’s such a relief to have someone trustworthy come into our home and care for our pets. We’ll definitely be booking with Olivia again!”

“We were in a panic to find a sitter and Marla saved the day! Blue says Marla is her BFF now and will miss her when we get home. I appreciate how well she took care of Blue, giving her all the playtime and cuddles she needed. Blue always looked so happy in the pictures Marla shared!”

About: Hello, my name is Amanda. I have my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and I am looking to expand my horizons into pet care. I have two dogs of my own. I have a 12 year old Miniature Schnauzer and an 8 year old Pit-Cocker Spaniel mix. Every dog has their own personality and mine are no exception! I would take the time to learn your pup's personality just like I have mine. I've had dogs most of my life, including taking care of my first dog Eddie, an Italian Greyhound, and a regular-sized Schnauzer named Zero. I have also been helping my parents with their new 8 month old puppy! As a teenager, I would dog-sit for our neighbor's Corgi. I would complete drop-ins three times a day for feeding, walking, and companionship. Unfortunately, I live with three other people and am limited in space I could offer in my own home. I do have experience administering medication such as pills, ear wash, and ointment application to the affected area. I plan to offer as many services as I am able. The services I currently offer: House-Sitting, Drop-In Visits, and Dog-Walking. I am not new to Dog-Walking services. I have been working with a local dog boarding company called Ridges and Paws. They have given me a wealth of experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, however I felt it was time to expand my services by creating my own profile with Rover. I do not work currently so I plan to devote my time to Rover and each of my client's individual needs. I understand each client is different and I will adjust my service to meet your needs. I have the Rover app on my phone and will be in constant communication with you about your special pet and friend. The Rover app will allow me to respond to any questions or concerns in real time. During my visits, I will send text and picture updates to help ease your time away. I believe a meet-and-greet should be completed prior to beginning services, unless it is an emergency or you are a returning client. I feel this is the best way to determine if I am the right fit for you and your family. This will also allow for any questions by you and for me to ask any questions about your pet. I want to make sure you and your pet receive the best care possible by learning your pets likes and dislikes, quirks, and general care information. I understand it's hard to be away from your best friend or family member! During my visits, I will work to ensure the level of care your friend experiences is the same level of care I would provide for my own.
“Alexandria was the perfect cat sitter! She requested a meet and greet prior to accepting booking, which really made me feel at ease about booking a new cat sitter. Even though one of my cats was very vocal towards her during her house visits, Alexandria was so friendly and communicative with us! We would absolutely book her again :)”

“Ashley is an incredibly responsible pet sitter! She’s reliable, sticking to scheduled drop-in visits. She responds to messages promptly and gives thorough information in her updates. Most importantly, she is naturally intuitive about the animals she checks in on. She was very kind and took great care of my pets while I was gone over night. Highly recommend her!”
