I W3S VERY nervous about leaving my dogs in the care of someone as well as allowing someone into my house while I was not there. My dogs immediately came up to her during our meet and greet. She took great care of my dogs while I was away. She sent tons of pictures and she responded quickly to any messages that I sent. She left my dogs and house in perfect shape. I will definitely rebook when I go out of town again! Thank you again Toni!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes every pet deserves care that meets their unique needs — whether that’s a fun, stimulating walk or a calm, reassuring visit. I’ve raised my own dog from puppyhood to adulthood and spent years learning about enrichment games, and training methods that build confidence and trust. I’ve spent time with multiple rescue dogs and I understand how to give anxious or excitable dogs the space and structure they need to feel safe. During walks and drop-in visits, I tailor the experience to your pet — mixing play, training reinforcement, and mental stimulation. I’m attentive to body language, use calm communication, and always prioritize safety, keeping dogs under threshold and away from stress triggers. Whether your dog thrives on adventure or needs a gentler touch, you can count on me to show up with patience, consistency, and care. I’m also comfortable with basic grooming, administering medication, and supporting senior pets. Your pets are family — and I’ll treat them like my own. I work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility during the day for pet care. I’m usually available on weekdays during normal business hours — great for midday walks, drop-in visits, or keeping pets company while you’re at work. I can sometimes do early evenings or weekends with a little notice. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine, and I love spending my free hours making sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable during our time together. During drop-in visits, I follow your routines closely — whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or giving medication — so your pet gets the care they’re used to. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and anything else that keeps your pet safe, and I always make sure your home stays respected and tidy. I love sending updates and photos so you can see how your furry friend is doing while you’re away.

Alison was great with communication during her visit! She even had intuition to stay a little longer to bring her out a second time after she ate, knowing she would likely poop! And she did! Thank you Alison, can’t wait for next time!

About: I have had dogs in my home for the past 10 years. I’ve had my own personal dog for the past 5. I work at an animal hospital, so I have tons of experience with cats and dogs of all sizes. I am confident in my ability to administer medications, if needed (oral, transdermal, injectable, inhalant). I raise puppies for a service dog organization, so I have experience with puppies who are still learning. My degree is in Pre-Veterinary Medicine and I am seeking higher education. My personal pup is with me almost 24/7. I am very blessed that she is able to come to work with me. I work 4 10 hour shifts, so I’m free 3 days a week on a consistent schedule. I occasionally have family events or Puppy Club events on those days, so scheduling ahead is always appreciated. I do accept same day reservations when I’m available. I always check fencing prior to allowing a pet outside in a yard. While walking, I carry an emergency kit. I always have a backup leash and collar/training collar in my car in case a pup got to them without the parents knowledge (yes, I’ve needed them before).

About: I have hands-on experience working at two animal shelters from 2021–2023, where I cared for cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, cleaning kennels/litter areas, monitoring behavior, comforting anxious animals, and helping pets feel safe and loved while away from home. Before that, I also volunteered at animal shelters as a teenager, which helped grow my passion for animal care even more. Working with rescue animals taught me patience, compassion, and how to handle pets with different temperaments — including shy, energetic, senior, or nervous pets! I currently have a job working in Home Health , but I know how to split my time without burning myself out! I’ll always make time to be sure I can be there for your fur babies whenever you need. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owner is away. I follow all feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes or pet areas, give plenty of playtime, attention, and affection, and make sure pets stay active and emotionally comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to learn their needs and make sure they receive patient, gentle, and dependable care. I also keep clients updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. My goal is always to treat every pet like family and every home with respect and care. 🐾

Sarah came highly recommended from our old sitter who is leaving town. She is kind, patient, and genuinely caring. Our dog felt comfortable and happy right away, which gave us total peace of mind at meet and greet. Such a nice, trustworthy person—we’d absolutely book her again.

You always worry when you get a new pet sitter. My regular sitter was out of town. I returned to Rover to hire Shannon and she was amazing ! I know my cats are kinda untrusting with new people ( except one of them ). Shannon followed all my instructions, gave me photo updates and my kitties & I are super happy! Would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for amazing house visits Shannon! 💕

Jamie is amazing! So trustworthy, readily available, genuinely caring about the pets he’s looking after & just all around great! I’ve used him a couple times now and am looking forward to using his services again going forward! He send pics and updates with every visit even without request. My cat got anxiety while I was away and he tried to do what he could to help & asked for updates about her afterwards!

Glenna confirmed the booking on short notice and kept me posted every step of the way on her visit. Slugger has a lot of energy but she knows how to navigate it and keep him on track while on his walks. I know he’s always in good hands when Glenna comes to check him.

Tracy was great! She looked in on our older cat and younger dog this past week. Our older cat has some health issues and Tracy reported on his eating/other habits to help keep us apprised of his situation. She also took our dog for a few walks, fed her and gave her some company. Tracy responded to texts quickly, is friendly and our pets seemed to be just fine with her! We’re so thrilled!

Stephanie was my first pet sitter with Rover, and I was really apprehensive about leaving my cat for 2 weeks. Stephanie not only went above and beyond to reassure me, but she was flexible with the booking and checking on my house while I was away. She provided detailed updates with plenty of pictures, followed all instructions, and exceeded expectations. My normally skittish cat took to Stephanie immediately, which I know had to do with Stephanie, because she didn’t come out for anyone else that stopped by the house. I had a wonderful experience, and would definitely request Stephanie for any future pet sitting needs.

About: Hi I’m Kendra and I love dogs of all sizes and ages! I grew up with two family dogs, whom I love very much! You will enjoy that I will give your dog/dogs my full attention.I will give them tons of loving pets and hugs as well as play with them until they want to quit! I will also clean up after them after they go to the bathroom. In addition, I can feed them and fill up their water bowls. Anything your dogs need I will try to provide. I will keep your dog safe and protected while I am there. He/she will surely enjoy their time with me. I can’t wait to meet your adorable furry friend in the near future and can’t wait to work with you! I’m currently a new mom who works part-time so my schedule is very clear! I am free for walks, boarding, and day care any day of the week :) My house has a big yard which makes it very easy for quick potty trips and play. In addition my neighborhood is nice and big with fun trails and parks nearby that I can take your furry friends to! I can crate your dogs if needed and they are also allowed on furniture if that’s what they are used to :)

Alison was great. Will definately use her again. I have three cats and it was a three week stint... she even managed to get my shy boy out from under the bed and he let her pet him and he purred. First time ever! She was also very good about communicating things. Got a text pretty much every day with pics. She also watered my plants which was a big concern. So, overall, she get an A+. Gail

Michelle has become the person I trust the most whenever I travel. She is incredibly attentive and responsible, she even noticed that my cat had unplugged the automatic feeder and immediately fixed the issue. Most importantly, my cat absolutely adores her, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter and highly recommend her.
