⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We can't praise Mike enough for his incredible pet-sitting services! He has stayed over and also dropped in for visits. He has taken care of our three dogs and two cats flawlessly. Mike not only follows our instructions to the T, but also has a remarkable ability for understanding our pets' needs even without detailed guidance. It truly gives us peace of mind knowing our furry crew are in such capable hands. His warm and caring approach makes it clear that he genuinely loves animals, and our pets adore him! If you're looking for a reliable and skilled pet sitter, we highly recommend Mike. You won't regret it!

Anyone would be lucky to have MaryAnn care for her animals. We were coworkers for many years at the humane society. She has extensive knowledge on both dog and cat behavior. We both went to dog behavior and training academy where we extended our knowledge of working with dogs. She is absolutely phenomenal when handling dogs and cats. She was our main evaluator with fractious cats and has cared for many of her own cats that have had special needs. She has watched my dog multiple times and cares for her just as I do. She will absolutely go above and beyond to make sure any pet has the best care while the owner is away.

Megan had been such a help to our animals throughout the years. We have had to take trips on a moments notice and Megan had gone to great lengths to accommodate us. Our dogs love Megan’s calm demeanor and gentleness. Megan has an abiding respect for all creatures and they respond to her accordingly.

Yasmine was absolutely wonderful and so caring to our two cats! Yasmine was very flexible in short-notice changes to the schedule. She truly has a warm heart and loves animals, and you can tell she enjoys caring for them. It’s my first time using Rover and Yasmine went above and beyond my expectations. We will book again in the future with Yasmine if she’s still doing this.

5 stars are not enough. Liv is 6 stars ******. She became fast friends with Kiwi and Jeanneau, two hard to entertain and please cats. Kiwi usually takes a few weeks to acknowledge a new human friend. Liv had her attention and trust in a couple of days. This was a 10 day, 2x a day assignment with complex feeding and care instructions. All handled most excellently and cheerfully. Never a worry for me on vacation, I was able to relax knowing Liv was providing the utmost cat care.

Kaitlyn was such an amazing pet watcher!! she provided such safe and proper caring for my dog and cat. She was very through with following the instructions we provided for her and was very communicative. She was even willing to drive 45 to take my dog to a grooming. My pets were very sad to see her leave but will definitely hire her to care for them again! I definitely recommend kaitlyn to watch your pets!!

Katherine would be an excellent candidate for a Rover Sitter. She’s an excellent fur baby mama to Athena 130 pounds of pure love. She sleeps in the bed with her every night. She shares the couch with her every day. Athena gets more space in the bed than Katherine does. She’s an animal of her through and through and would love to have more fur babies in the house for her to play with the kids to play with and Athena to play with.

The first time we came to have the dogs meet, I was so please with what I saw! They make sure there are plenty of areas the dogs can safely play in. Littles and bigs are separated but can still socialize. No one is crated all day. They took the time to go over feeding schedules and asked about allergies. While they had my dog, I received photos and updates through my entire trip. They even drove her home after my flight was delayed from the weather. The overall experience was great and I will definitely recommend using them ! We already booked our next trip for them to watch our girl in April!

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, so my love for animals has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. To me, dogs aren’t just pets, they’re family. I connect with them on a genuine level and truly believe they make life better. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog who needs extra care, I’m all about making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I treat every animal with the care and attention they deserve because they’re not just animals, they’re everything. Pet care is something I genuinely love to work into my routine. I make sure to prioritize the time needed to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I’m happy to adjust to what works best for your pet. I enjoy building a routine that keeps pets comfortable and happy, while also making sure I’m available when you need me most. The safety and well-being of your pet are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I make sure to create a safe, secure environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I’ll follow any specific instructions you provide to ensure their safety, whether it’s regarding food, exercise, or routine. I’m always attentive and cautious, and I’ll make sure your pet is well cared for, whether it’s keeping them away from certain areas or following any special requirements you have. You can trust that your pet will be in good hands, treated with respect, and kept safe at all times.

Rogue has cared for my 2 pet parrots for the past few years while my wife & I have taken vacations. He has been a reliable pet carer. He has been a very trustworthy provider that followed our exact instructions for our particular birds. For example, when our birds have to be put in their cages to sleep overnight, he followed our exact instructions on how to get each bird into their cages (since they each have different routines). Our birds warmed up to him very quickly because he's a very calming presence and enjoys caring for them. I'd highly recommend hiring him anytime!

Barbora is an EXCELLENT sitter/walker for your four pawed babies. She is much more than a pet sitter/walker, she truly becomes part of the family. After being with your four pawed babies just once your babies would choose her themselves if they could speak. Her care with them is truly 1 on 1 and whatever needs you want her to focus on she will. She keeps them so active and mentally busy and they just absolutely LOVE her as do I and as I am sure if you give her the chance so will you :)

This was our first time using Ana and she was wonderful ! Our kitty gets lonely when we’re away , so Ana gave her the extra comfort she needed on her daily visits. Ana was great with daily reports and responsive if i had any questions. We will definitely be using her again in the future for our kitty and pups !

Gabriella has been a friend and helper with my dog (a 110 lb. German Shepard Dog) and has always been nurturing and responsible with her. She is also a very loving pet owner with both a dog and cat that she love more than anything else in her life. I'm confident that you will find no better dog sitter or walker anywhere!
