Natalie is the absolute best for our dog. We went for a week long trip and Natalie stayed in our home. Let me start off by saying that we came back to the house even better than we left it. Natalie kept us up to date and treated Tia and our house as her own. She made sure to clean up any and all messes. And cleaned up a mess from Tia’s accident better than even we could. She even went through our trashes and washed her own sheets. Natalie will be our go-to sitter going forward and highly recommend her to all

Katie was AMAZING! She is the best sitter we have found through Rover. She was attentive, thorough, timely and kind. We have an anxious dog and she immediately showed patience and went at his speed. She provided photos throughout the weekend, detailed updates and was great with Hank. We can wait to have her back!

It was wonderful to have Stephanie watch our pets. I could tell from our meet and greet that she would be great with them and she was. She provided updates and daily photos and we could relax on our trip knowing she was there.

Matisse was so kind, capable, and professional. She watched my scaredy rescue two weekends in a row and was very communicative when any issues arose. Coming home to a tidy apartment was an added bonus :)

Would recommend without hesitation! Elise took great care of our pup and our home. She managed our tricky terrier seemingly without any difficulty. We got just the right number of updates and came home to a happily tired dog. Our condo was exactly as we left it (if not cleaner) when we returned. Barley looks forward to her next stay!

Andrew stayed at our house with our 140lb, elder Newfoundland for a a long weekend and everything went wonderfully. He requires quite a few oral meds mixed into his food, and a careful eye on his walks as not not over exert him and Andrew handled this no problem. We got updates and pics along they way and came home to a very clean home and happy pup! Look forward to having Andrew stay with our dog again.

Rachael has been absolutely amazing with my dog! My pup was a recent rescue that was scared of everything. Rachael spent the first few weeks increasing my dog’s comfort level with her and now my pup LOVES Rachael and gets excited for their daily walk! She’s the only other person that my dog trusts :)

Tam is the BEST! This is our second time using Tam when we’ve traveled out of state. My elderly chihuahua has a tooth issue and I was worried about leaving her but Tam was so attentive and truly put my worries at ease. She gives lots of detailed updates, sends pictures and asks a lot of questions which shows she cares. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter for my babies! Thank you, Tam!

Melissa was wonderful and was always easy to get a hold of and was very generous with the pictures of the dogs, only bad thing was that all the pictures made me miss my dogs so bad when I was away hahaha. Would definitely use her services again!

Isabel stayed in my home with dog, Oreo, for a week while I was out of the country. I was concerned because Oreo is a timid rescue dog , just one year old, that I had not left before. I wanted someone to come to my house and stay so his environment would continue to be familiar. Isabel met with us three times before the sit started. Oreo was comfortable with her immediately and was willing to walk with her without me going along. While away,Isabel made sure to walk Oreo the a four times a day we had agreed upon. She followed his routine and sent me confirming pictures. She helped me with Rover scheduling procedures and was able to arrive and leave the sit under special circumstances. I will use Isabel’s services again and am happy to recommend her to others.

This was my first time using Rover and I have a newly adopted anxious rescue so I was super stressed about it, but Alice took great care of my dog and sent many updates. Alice was patient and understanding with my dog and gave her the space to warm up.

About: Hi there, I'm Kayla! I have over a decade of pet care experience. I grew up with both cats and dogs, I'm a super animal lover. I'm looking forward to meeting your pet soon! I work full time, but I try to fill as much time outside of that with caring for pets! It's what I love to do. I am available weeknights, weekends, and some occasional weekdays I have an apartment where I live alone and can provide one-on-one attention to your pets! I live in a very walking-friendly neighborhood and I have some grass in my yard but it is not fenced in. I have space to accommodate up to medium-sized dogs.

Ella was excellent with our somewhat rambunctious 1 year old cat. She asked great questions, gave her plenty of play time, and was an excellent communicator. It was so nice to know our young cat was in good hands. Would definitely recommend Ella and have her back to catsit again!
