“Missy was great with our 2 cats while we were away! I was worried about our older cat because she has recently been finicky about food but Missy kept me informed and up to date on everything! She was super responsive, sent photos and updates while I was gone and the cats were happy and the house looked great when we returned! I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets whether is be midday checks or while your away. Her animal care knowledge and attention to detail made me feel very comfortable while we were gone.”
“Nina took great care of our two senior kitties while we were traveling abroad; she even went to the post office to pick up the pet meds that didn’t arrive on time prior to our departure. We returned home to two relaxed, happy cats. Your pets will be well looked after!”
“Thank you, Logan, for helping the kitties and for solving issues as they arose! We appreciate you and your willingness to adapt quickly to changes in the house! Take care and thank you again!”
“Jessica takes such amazing care of our two kitties who can be nervous around people! We do appreciate her understanding of cats and their temperaments. She always provides detailed updates on how they are doing with lots of pictures which is great! It is such a relief to know they are so well cared for when we are gone!! Thank you, Jessica!”

“Communicative, cares for my fur family, and truly went above and beyond. My first time having a pet sitter I didn't already know before hand and would book Emily again in a heartbeat if I need the services.”
About: As a kid we raised bassett hounds. My mother was a cruelty investigator. I helped her on cases from time to time. We raised ducks as well. I have owned many pets through out my life. I currently have 3 dogs and a service dog in the making. I worked at a kennel where I was the caretaker for two buildings taking care of close to 200 puppies a day. I cleaned up after them, sanitize their living area, fed them and gave them water. I fell in love with a little guy who kept being passed over. He had been there for 8months. I decided to bring him home and make him part of the fur family. It was very rewarding especially when they got a new home. No aggressive dogs please! All dogs must be current on their shots!

About: I started house sitting in high school for close family friends/neighbors of ours. The first family that trusted me had 2 birds, a turtle, 2 older cats, a dog, and 2 fish. Caring for the cats involved a good deal of specificity, especially with the timeliness of their routines. I also have walked and cared for numerous dogs through babysitting & nannying, whether it be overnight jobs or just for a few hours, and I understand the attention to detail it takes to make a pet and a pet parent feel happy and comfortable. My dog tore his ACL on the beach with me while I was in college, I carried him up and down my townhouse stairs for months. He also had allergies with a variety of treatments including soap that had to sit in a lather for 5-15 minutes every day (he did not like baths, especially when it was cold out), special diet, and pills. At times, I was giving him a few pills each morning. He was very smart, and adventurous enough to be a little mischievous. He knew when there was a pill in food, he could smell it, or have watched me prepare it differently. It got to the point that we had a position to get into, I would place a pill as far back on his tongue then have to hold his chin up. Sometimes he would pretend to swallow it, then go spit it elsewhere when he thought I wasn’t looking. He taught me to appreciate a dog’s individuality and sense of wit. I imagine pet personalities come in as wide a variety as humans, and I believe understanding, attentiveness, and playfulness are the standard for pet care. I work 8:30-5 (ish) 4 days per week, and I am happy to stop by before and after work and/or during lunch if reasonable, some days I get longer lunch breaks :) I am flexible on the weekends. I treat my pets as family, and I have witnessed my family and friends care for pets as if they are a child. On days I couldn’t bring my dog along, I trusted the people watching him to do the same, and maybe even add a little extra love for missing his family. I do think routines and caretaking look different per pet and household, but however works best for pet parents and their pets, they can expect I will be engaged, responsible, loving, and kind to their fur babies. I do also have a fenced in backyard, and live with two dogs if that option is valued.
About: I grew up on a farm and have experience taking care of most animals. I love spoiling my family dog and look forward to being able to take care of your pet(s)! I’m in charge of my work schedule! The three day notice will just help me make sure that my job is properly staffed while I’m gone. I’ve taken care of multiple dogs in other people’s homes. I usually get a list of how much/how often feeding should happen. Along with any special medicines/things that may be needed. NOTICE: I ONLY will be accepting jobs through Rover. Please don’t try to get me to do work that isn’t through here unless we’ve already met in person. I will not be accepting those jobs.
About: I have experience with all kinds of pets. Especially dogs and cats. I have had dogs my entire life and cats of my own for about 2 years now! I currently work and go to college. Most of the time my afternoons are completely free. I also have very flexible times on the weekends! I have experience with walking dogs. I also have experience with taking care of dogs and cats if drop in visits are needed. I am also extremely gentle with all animals and love them with all of my heart

When I worked as Animal Control Officer for for over 15 years for the towns of Lyndon and Rushford, Jessica assisted me with careing for the Dogs and Cats that were in my care. We also raised ducks for over 10 years and she helped with feeding and caring for them. She would be a great caregiver for any animal.

Madelyn N.
“Maddy has been one of the most passionate and caring pet sitters we have ever used. She understands that pets ARE family and treats them as such. We have two dogs, three cats, and used to have a bunny. She has followed every instruction left for her and is extremely conscientious, not only with our pets but with our home as well. We rely on her for house sitting, but also for drop-in and walks while we are working or traveling. She is a great communicator and sends pics and stories. She also brings to our immediate attention any issues. Both dogs require meds and she routinely administers the medications. I love, but hate to travel without our pets, and Maddy makes it so I can enjoy my time away and not have to worry so much about the family members I am leaving behind.”

Jay is extremely reliable, responsible, and treats every pet like his own. Whether it’s walking, boarding, or just keeping your dog company, he’s patient, playful, and always attentive.

Gracia P.
“As a sitter/walker on Rover myself, I can be very picky about who I trust my pups with. Gracia certainly makes that list! She is fabulous with my two small pups anytime she looks after them. She is responsible, reliable, and punctual. With my older chihuahua, Gracia is always so sweet and gentle. With my puppy rat terrier, she is playful and energetic. I can always rest easy when I know my dogs are in Gracia’s care, she consistently is able to provide the perfect care for each individual pup. I highly recommend Gracia for all your pet needs, she truly has been a lifesaver for me!”
