“It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Ericka sent regular pics and updates. When we got home our dog was happy and content. When we’ve had to use something more like daycare in the past, he just gets really stressed and barely eats. We will be using rover again in the future for sure.”
“CK was great with my dog and cat, and very communicative! He was even able to come back and check on the animals later than planned when we were delayed coming home. Would definitely book again!”
“Mariah was wonderful! She came early to give us extra time to go over everything with the dogs. She also sent us pictures of the pups as a check in half way through! 10/10 would recommend 😊”
“I hired Alyssa for overnights to care for three of my dogs.This was my first time working with Rover for my needs so therefore I was nervous going into this however during the meet & greet any worries went away because my gut was telling me that Alyssa was the one.She took great care of them and followed my needs.Sending pictures,videos with texting back and fourth with my daughter won our hearts.We do not get away much but maybe things will change now that we found our person Alyssa.I do highly recommend her, rating her and her compassion with animal's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!”
“Natalie was fabulous! Asked great clarifying questions, took lovely care of my babies, and was a pleasure to just chat with. I highly recommend Natalie and will be using her services again!”
“Darra not only does a good job with Bronson, but she also is extremely respectful of our apartment. She cleans without us ever requesting, and it’s so nice to return home to a clean apartment after a trip. Would easily recommend Darra’s services to others.”
About: I've cared for various kinds of pets over my whole life and at one point was able to become an AKC trained dog trainer! I've since changed jobs to a patient sitter at a nearby hospital and miss the new animals being in my life. I'd love to get a chance to meet your pets and help care for them! I work 3 inconsistent days from either 630am-pm or 630pm-am throughout the week but can make changes as needed to work up to 3 days a week for a client outside of that! I feel that all pets have a wide range of personalities and needs but the important thing is to work with them to achieve their physical and emotional needs! I have 2 cats with vastly different attitudes and I make sure to tailor my care for them in specific ways like being a safety person for my cat while she's eating or training my partners cat to ask for attention and treats more politely. When it comes to dogs I have a training in positive reinforcement and dog behaviors and will try to engage with breed specific enrichment on top of whatever schedule the pet parents have for their dog.
“Maddi was awesome to have watch our senior pups! She was so thorough and kind and I felt very quickly at ease with our dogs in her care. Would highly recommend anyone considering care for their fur babes to book with her and I personally hope to have her again with our pups the next time we need a sitter!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 9 years old and can’t imagine life without them. From volunteering at shelters to pet sitting, walking, and fostering, animals have always been a huge part of my world. Now at 28, I bring over 19 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments including seniors and pets who need special care. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and house sitting. I’m comfortable administering medications including injections, and I’ve supported pets recovering from illness or surgery. I’ve also helped with basic training and behavior support. As a licensed social worker, I bring an extra level of responsibility, trustworthiness, and calm presence to the pets and families I work with. My schedule is flexible thanks to my part-time work and I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s unique needs and routine. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need a helping hand, I’d love to be your go-to pet care person. I treat every animal like family because they are. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I take time to get to know each animal’s personality and needs so I can provide personalized care that feels familiar and stress-free. In your home, I make sure your pet stays on their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I keep their environment clean, cozy, and calm, and I always respect your space and preferences. I provide lots of love, attention, and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Sent pictures, followed instructions, my animals and my house have little particulars that she listened to well, too! My house was clean, animals were well taken care of and happy when I got back ❤️ Would recommend Cayla and will use again! Thanks again.”
“Absolutely incredible and above and beyond. Despite some additional challenges coming up for our senior dog between the time of requesting, and her arrival, Elizabeth not only took care of our dog as needed, she became his friend. She was incredibly communicative with us, and even more patient with our increasingly fussy dog. Everyone would be lucky to have Elizabeth take care of their animals.”
“Tessa was great with our boys while we were away. She communicated everything really well with us and sent us daily update pictures. Will definitely be using her again next time we are going out of town.”
“Chelsea was absolutely outstanding! She was incredibly responsive, punctual, kind, and professional. She even came for a meet-and-greet to help our pup feel comfortable and stayed longer than scheduled to ensure she was okay. Flexible, caring, and clearly passionate—highly recommend!”

Lindsey H.
“Lindsey is the ultimate pet lover. From the largest dog to the smallest kitten, there is no pet that Lindsey will not treat like her own. She will get down on the floor and play with them, take them for long walks or snuggle with them for hours. Lindsey is also very careful and mindful of the pets surroundings and owners property, and makes sure that everything is in its place and in working order. If you want your pet to be treated like you would treat them, Lindsey is your person!”
