“We had Hannah come back to take care of our cats again, it was so wonderful knowing they had everything they needed from her! Seeing her pictures made us feel so comfortable and we were able to enjoy ourselves!”
“Gabrielle was the best. It was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was prompt and took amazing care of my cats including my girl with special needs. Gabrielle had great communication throughout and took some of the cutest photos.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up with 2 husky mixes and 3 cats in my childhood home and I currently have 1 cattle dog and 2 cats. I also had the pleasure of house sitting for a few families consistently while they were away on vacations. I work early mornings so I have plenty of the daylight to spend time with your dogs! I’m available after 1pm to do daily walks, checks ins, and will have hours available for boarding. I have a fully fenced in yard and a 2 year old cattle dog that loves to make friends and play but also understands boundaries. I have a cat as well but I have a two story house so she can be separated from your dog if need be! I can easily crate your dog if needed as well. I am very flexible and accommodating to whatever your fur baby needs to feel comfortable and safe.
About: I've taken care of a wide variety of dogs, as well as have been involved in dog shows, AKC pedigree events, canine good citizen training, and am patient with dogs while being tolerant to their antics. I am pretty flexible as I can wake up early, take care over my lunch, and late at night as well as I stay up late. I am careful but easy going with pets. I follow details for feeding, hygiene, and medication if needed. I require a meet and greet before providing services, to ensure I can properly handle the needs of your pet, as well as your pet getting along with me -- as you never know who they may like or dislike -- and want to ensure safety and proper care is given. I will record details of feeding, hygiene and medication to ensure I am consistent on their needs.
“Krystle was wonderful with Scarlet. During the meet and greet, you can tell how good she is with animals. Scarlet lived her. She took pictures to show us how well Scarlet was doing and gave updates. We will definitely book Krystle again when we need someone for Scarlet!”
“Anita did a great job with my cats on her first booking with me. My cats are seniors and they appeared happy and healthy when we arrived home. Anita was very conscientious of what needed to be done for them and followed through with no problems. She sent awesome updates daily. I would highly recommend Anita for your cat care!”
“Excellent attention to details, willing to accommodate me when I booked the wrong date, dropped what she was doing & headed over to care for my babies while I was out of town. 10/10 would recommend Sarah to anyone!!!”
“Rachel is the best sitter ever! One of my us is a VERY fearful dog and she worked with him until he was comfortable with her. Plus made all the visits and took so very good care of my pets through this terrible ice, snow, and single digits crazy weather in (along with the electricity going on and off) nashvile had this year over Christmas!! I was so fearful about leaving my pups to go on our out of state trip and she ended up being a lifesaver!!! Thank you Rachel you are truly the best!!!!”
“So grateful for Alexis! She has been taking good care of Our Luna Girl. She has amazing communication and is very Flexible! First Time using Rover, & So happy I found her! She updates the Rover card with pictures so i can see my happy girls face! Highly recommend Alexis! You won’t regret it ☺️.”
About: I’ve had a dog since the minute I was born and love them! I have had experience checking in on neighbors animals and keeping them safe and healthy! I currently work as a nurse and am looking to get some more steps to my daily count! I’m currently working days until 3 pm, but will be switching to evenings starting at 3pm. My schedule is flexible and I do not work everyday. Halfway through July I will be starting work at 3pm and available in the mornings. I will walk your dog according to your directions. I will use collar and leash provided to create the best environment for your dog! I can also do drop in visits to let your dog out according to your instructions.
“She did a great job! We had a meet and greet that went well. She routinely stayed longer than the required time just to get to know my cats better. Will definitely be asking for her services again.”
About: Hi! I'm Rachel, I am an animal enthusiast looking to help fellow pet owners feel good about leaving their animals in someone else's care. I've grown up with Dogs and cats, (animals of all kinds, really) my entire life. I went to school for Veterinary Technology, worked in a pet store, and an animal shelter. I've met animals of all kinds with all different needs, and I love them all the same. I am available for drop in visits and dog walking on weekends, and an occasional week night here and there! I work full time right now, so I can't commit to boarding as much as I'd love to, and I have a dog of my own to care for, so if you need just an occasional BFF for your dog, here I am! I am comfortable with walks of any length, advocating for dogs that may not want to meet other dogs while on their walks, (I want your dog to know I will always respect their boundaries and I want them to feel safe).
About: I have owned and watch dogs but also cats. I have a love for animals and I get very excited meeting new ones. It’s the best experience to me. I’m available anytime. I would be able to do last minute set ups. I’m sometimes away from home around 2-4 pm but that’s not often Everyone in the house loves animals, especially dogs. The most love is given like their our own. We get very excited and take them out for long walks. My dog has been around puppies before and he loves to be around other dogs.
About: I have always loved animals. I grew up taking care of dogs and now that I have moved away from home, I found that I love watching other's pets. I have experience watching my friends and families pets, which gave me a lot of experience caring for different breeds of dogs, ranging from smaller to bigger dogs. I have the patience and experience to make your dog feel safe and cared for. I am currently enrolled in college and I have time in between classes for pet care and most of my nights after 3:00pm are mostly open. During the summer months, I am very flexible because I work part time and get to pick my hours for work. I do not have a problem with the pet being free roaming throughout the apartment while I am there, but I can use a crate if thats what the owner is more comfortable with. While taking the pet outside, I will always put them on a leash because I do not have a fenced in yard. I am pretty flexible with how the owner wants the pet to be cared for, as long as that is communicated in advance.
About: I have a passion for rescuing animals that need a home and would love to help take care of any cats or dogs. I have two dogs and two cats that are all rescues. I've also rescued two other dogs, in the past, that I had to put down and fostered a cat. I have experience with puppies and kittens to senior animals that needs medication several times throughout the day. Although I have a full time job during the week and have drill one weekend a month, in my free time I like to keep busy and am willing to help out! Vet checks and keeping up with any recommended treatment is a priority to me. I treat all my animals like members of the family. This year, my dog, Karen, had to start getting injects for her allergies - I'd do anything for my fur babies! This year I decided to volunteer at my dog's boarding and daycare facility for fun!

Kaitlyn M.
“Kaitlyn is a fantastic pet parent. And would make an even better pet sitter. I’ve known Kaitlyn over 10 years now, and one of the very first things I learned about her was her love for all animals. Whether her own, mine or a random strangers off the street. She has 2 cats and more recently, adopted the sweetest dog, all of whom she places needs before her own. She spends hours training her dog with the patience of a saint and yhe utmost love. Which is no surprise because she treats all animals like they are her own. She is always more excited to see my pets than she is me. She is a pet lover through and through. The amount of love, time and effort she puts into animal care is completely unmatched. Kaitlyn also finds staying up to date with vaccines, annual bet visits and exercise of great importance. Finally, Kaitlyn truly believes that pets are a part of our lives for such a short time, they deserve all of the love, kindness and attention. Because of these traits, i know Kaitlyn would make absolute best pet sitter for anyone, putting their pets needs above all else.”
