Being a new rover user, I am extremely pleased. Lila was prompt, professional, friendly and attentive. She responded right away every time and let me know everything that was happening with my babies when I was away and sent multiple photos which I loved. She is definitely someone to keep in mind when I need someone to give my babies some attention and care. I also sent her info to another rover user (friend of mine) as a back up provider since she is someone to rely on. Thank you so much Lila.

Sophie did an amazing job with Pepper! Pepper is a people lover dog and can come off very intense. Sophie was kinda to my dog and I could tell by the way Pepper acted when I came home. Sophie was flexible, communicated well, took photos, did all that i asked when it came to Peppers needs, and gave great notes throughout her time with Pepper. I really appreciate you Sophie for checking in on my pup while i was gone and showing her love! I would highly recommend you to anyone. Once again thank you☺️

Cat was a dream to work with. Super communicative, and spent a lot of time with our dog at each check in! After our usual sitter moved away I was nervous about finding someone new but I was immediately relieved by Cat’s dedication and her obvious love for dogs. Her notes after each check-In made me chuckle too. I think we found our new regular sitter!

We reached out to Jessica, because she seemed like a fit for our elderly dog with high medical needs. She was warm, accommodating, and she would have been the perfect fit had our dog not passed away before she could begin providing him care. She had not previously injected a dog, but she was a trooper - coming over for a visit, and gave Ricky insulin with ease. I also felt safe giving her a key to my home. I have already told my best friend (who has three dogs) about her, and while we are heartbroken by the circumstances, we remain hopeful we will encounter her through our dog loving friends who consistently need the kind of support I am confident she provides. Thank you again, Jessica.

About: I'm officially back and excited to work with new clients! What really sets me apart is my genuine love for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Through my volunteer work with rescue organizations, humane societies, and wildlife rehabilitation centers, I've learned to connect with pets who might be shy, anxious, or just need a little extra patience. I'm especially comfortable with senior pet care (thanks to my own elderly cats), medication administration, and working with special needs animals. My late staffie rescue taught me that the most misunderstood dogs often make the most loyal companions, so I have a real soft spot for bully breeds and "difficult" cases. I've also got experience with puppy energy management – I can tire out even the most determined zoomie sessions! Friends joke that I'm a "cat whisperer," though I'll admit one particularly stubborn feline took me 15 years to win over. Whether your pet needs gentle senior care, high-energy adventures, or just someone who won't blink at their quirky habits, I'm here for it. No creature is too unusual – I've cared for everything from traditional pets to more exotic companions! After leaving academia to pursue my passion for writing and art, I've discovered the joy of a flexible schedule. I spend most of my time outdoors anyway (turns out fresh air is much better for creativity than stuffy lecture halls), so having some four-legged companions along for the adventure sounds like a no-brainer. Plus, I've learned that pet adventures are the perfect antidote to writer's block. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe and loved while you're away. I'm experienced with administering medications, maintaining routines, and reading those subtle pet signals that tell you when something's not quite right. My own little crew includes two senior cats (14 and 17) and a wonderfully patient yellow lab who's basically a gentleman and a scholar. One of my cats has special needs, so I'm comfortable with medical care and know how important consistency is for our furry family members.

Cat has been an absolute pleasure to work with! I scheduled her last minute for daily drop-in services with my dog, Koko. Even though it was a short turnaround time (I made the request Saturday morning for services starting on Monday), Cat came to our house that same day to meet Koko and discuss what I was looking for in drop-in services. Over the past week, Cat has been an excellent communicator, has consistently arrived on time, and has really catered her care to Koko's preferences (e.g., playing ball with her in our yard, convincing her to eat something at lunchtime even though she's picky). I have already booked another drop-in session with Cat for next week and will certainly continue to work with her in the future! I highly recommend working with Cat!

The second time Maria & Luis watched our two dogs while we were out of town for a few days and did a wonderful job again. Thank you guys so much!

We've had JP to watch our Ollie multiple times, and its always a breeze. Its great knowing we have someone who will go the extra mile and make our (very spoiled) dog happy while we are away! Highly recommend!

Deanna was reliable and professional in taking care of my babies while I was away. She showed up as scheduled, always included pictures, and accomodated my less typical requests in providing care. I would recommend her without reservation; I had peace of mind on my rip knowing she was taking care back home.

Abby did an incredible job with our two kitties! They can be a bit anxious but Abby made sure to spend ample time with them to make them feel comfortable while we were away. She was also able to give them daily medications without issue! Would highly recommend Abby and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!

Haley is a gem of a pet sitter!! She dropped by every day for a week to feed and play with my kitty while I was out of state. I loved the detailed summaries she sent each day after the visit. Highly recommend her to anyone :)

Brenna did an amazing job of checking in on my cat T. Rex while I was out of town! She was a great communicator and super flexible with my traveling times. I would 100% recommend her to other pet owners and am sure I will reach back out next time I need a drop-in again!!

Erica was great to work with and our pups really seemed to enjoy their time with her. She was attentive to their needs and gave everyone lots of snuggles while we were gone.

Devinder takes great care of my cat Theo, who can be a bit sassy and territorial, especially when it comes to his personal space. I’d definitely recommend Devinder to anyone with a quirky or particular pet - he handles them with care!

Our pups loved Tali! She helped out when we were out of town for the day and they were well taken care of. 😊

Jessica was the best - as always - with our geriatric Maine coon and his troublemaker brother! She knows just how to keep them happy!

AJ did a great job caring for our older resident dog and our 3 month old foster puppy. AJ covered feeding both dogs, lots of visits and play-time inside and outside in the yard for the puppy, regular walks for our Janie, and lots of extra care and affection!

My cat is so comfortable around Ana and does such a good job of updating me. I would definitely recommend her to watch your pets!
