“Moria is an amazing person and an even better cat sitter! My boys were so happy with them and I’m grateful for their service!”
“Coretta was amazing - again! She sent a detailed summary of the cats’ interactions with her twice a day after each visit, with photos. I was able to relax on my trip knowing that my babies were being cared for. She followed all instructions related to opening/closing the curtains, and setting the radio in the morning. She’s is awesome!!”

About: Hi my name is Tarah I love dog all breads and ages. I work from home with short hours so I am always available. I have 2 puppies as well if my own. Your dog will have friends to play with I do request a meet and greet first for the safety of the dog. Please feel free to reach out. I work from home with short hours I have plenty of time to card for the dogs needs and wants. I have 2 of my own dogs to care for. I have 2 friendly fur babies to keep your babies company. I go to the dog park and take them in walks in the neighborhood.
“Daniela is great! She is very responsive and my dogs really enjoy her.”
About: The compassion I have for animal's shines bright. All my life I've been surrounded by animals (dogs, cats, etc) I take this passion seriously. I treat pets as if they are my own. To know that your pet is in safe hands is my number one priority. I work from home and have the flexibility to do many things throughout the day. Everything is visible and I am aware of my surroundings. I live in an apartment complex that is pet friendly. The lake is right out front. There are several parks for dogs to run free. I keep a close eye on all animals to ensure they are safe.
About: I have experience with dogs with anxiety who use medication, needy/clingy dogs, and dogs with disabilities. I follow schedules to the letter so the more rules the better! I am extremely thorough and patient in case something goes wrong with the pets, and I maintain a calm demeanor at all times. I DO have clickers and access to training treats unless they're already available and will mimic their training if needed. I'm currently a graduate student at CSU; summer is a slow period for me at the moment. I am more than willing to babysit the pets for house visits for as many nights, walks, feeding times as needed. During school time I will do walks, feeding visits and the occasional overnight weekend stay. I am committed to your pet's comfort level and will adapt to their schedule to the best of my ability. I will spoil them rotten because I absolutely love all dogs and cats of all shapes and mannerisms. Even if they hate me. If I am confused about anything regarding your pet's behavior, such as licking paws, over-grooming, an increase in urination, I will let you know about it as soon as I see it. I also LOVE talking to the pets so I will have full-on conversations with them. I'm especially good with repeat visits so if you are interested in having a one-time sitter for the next few years, I'm MORE than willing to take up that responsibility. Familiarity is very important with pets and as mentioned before, I am focused on the pet's comfort.
About: I have always been around dogs for most of my life but I haven’t been able to have my own for a while now. Most of my family have dogs and every time I go over their house, I love playing the dogs. I’ve loved dogs since I was really young and can’t wait until I’m able to have to have 2 of my own, a huskie & one that doesn’t grow. I love all size dogs and there have been times where I would take care of the family dogs or even family friends dogs. I also have cats in my household right now and it’s fun. I love any type of animal! I do have a job but it’s nightly & part time so the days & hours vary. I’m available for any time or day that can fit that schedule. I also might get a second job depending but I’m looking to do Rover full time if it goes well. I’m also open to overnight jobs! I have a fenced yard, big gates, & no openings so I’m sure the pet wouldn’t be able to escape or anything if we are playing outside. The front yard is a decent size and the backyard is pretty big so the dog will definitely have lots of fun. I have an adult grey cat named Smokey & a kitten named Princess. I am very responsible with what I do so I will take very great care of your pet. I really love animals and would literally cry if something happened.
“Roxy was responsive, arrived as scheduled, and checked on our pets as requested. I also appreciate Roxy bringing in our mail packages that were left at the door. Thank you!”
“The visit photos showed that my shy cats were happy to play with Kai. And even though it was a last-minute holiday booking, Kai worked around my schedule to promptly get and return my keys. I would definitely welcome her into my home to care for my cats again.”
“Danielle is a wonderful pet sitter who took superb care of Java while I was away. Last minute, Java was prescribed medicine and Danielle was able to give Java his meds without problem while I was gone. My heart felt at ease with Java in Danielle’s care!”
About: I have always had a passion for caring for animals and get along easily with all types of animals. I have experience with senior dogs as well as with puppies. I currently work remotely so have plenty of time to care for animals. My father is also retired from the military and lives in the in-law-suite in my home. I have a large fenced in yard and a playful 8-year-old (although he acts 3-years-old) terrier to keep your fur baby company. I also have a finished basement/in-law-suite in case my pup or your pup needs some space to themselves. Can crate train.
“Malcomn took such great care of my cat, Kashi. He was very communicative and sent updates and photos everyday which I thoroughly appreciated. Kashi and I are so grateful for Malcomn’s service!”

19. Marcus G.
“I am writing to highly recommend Marcus as a pet sitter on Rover. As my son-in-law, I have had the pleasure of watching Marcus interact with animals and I can confidently say that he is a loving, responsible, and attentive pet caregiver. Marcus has always had a deep respect for animals and demonstrates a natural ability to connect with them. Whether it's playing with my dog, his dog, or my daughter’s cat and dog he always ensures everyone’s safety. He has great patience, kindness, and understanding. He is not only attentive to their physical needs but also takes the time to provide them with affection, comfort, and companionship, which makes him an excellent choice for anyone seeking a reliable and caring sitter. What I admire most about Marcus is his strong sense of responsibility and attention to detail. He is dependable and organized, which ensures that your pet will be well cared for while in his hands. He is also quick to respond and flexible with schedules, which makes him a great option for last-minute bookings or specific pet needs. I am confident that Marcus will treat your pets like his own, with the utmost care and respect. He is a trustworthy individual who takes great pride in providing a safe, loving environment for animals. I have no doubt that he will be an excellent pet sitter for Rover users, and I wholeheartedly recommend him for your pet care needs”
