“Heather is great! We were away for a week, and we felt comfortable and assured that our cat was well cared for. She sent a message and photo update every day, and it was clear she really cared about our little buddy. She even brought a holiday gift from “Heather Claws”!”

“Barbara was the perfect sitter for our kitty while away for the holidays. She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures that we appreciated and that put our minds at ease!”

About: I've had dogs since i was a child. Your pets are your family members and deserve to be cared for by someone who will pay attention to them, play with them and follow your instructions via food and snacks. Dogs make my heart happy. I'm currently working from home so I have the time for long walks, outside play sessions and light grooming. I am available at any time with at least a days notice. I give your pets all of my attention and time in your home along with cuddles. Food preparation, snacks, hydration, I will follow your instructions to the letter. Your pets deserve to be safe and taken care of. If you have a cat that likes crocheted toys, I'm your person!
About: I have had dogs my whole life. To me, the hardest part of having a pet is finding someone to care for them when you need to leave. Finding someone I trusted to care for and love my dog while I was gone was so stressful. I would like to help other pet owners feel comfortable knowing that someone will care for them like their own. I am able to be home with your dog anytime during the week/weekends. I am also available to stop over for walks, playtime, companionship or whatever else they need. I have a mini Bernedoodle who loves to play but is also ok giving other dogs space if needed. He would love to run around with a new friend. I am also able to come to your house and give your dog one on one attention.
“Does an amazing job caring for my pup while I’m away at work. Very detailed card of everything she does that day with your dog and includes various pictures and or videos.”
About: I currently own 2 female presa canarios that are 7 years old. I am able to handle stubborn dogs, lazy dogs, athletic dogs and everything in between. Before my presa canarios I cared for 2 golden retrievers. All of these dogs I have cared for since they were 8 weeks old. I am able to care for dogs of all ages, breeds, shapes and sizes. No dog is too much or too little to handle. I am up for a challenge as my presas challenge me everyday. I hope to care and walk your dog for you. I am open to other pets such as cats, I have watched a few cats, but dogs are more of my speciality. Hope to see some dogs soon. If the dog/puppy needs some training I can provide basic skills and obedience as I have trained all of my dogs. (I am not a professional trainer) I'm currently an RN which I work 2/3 days a week. I work nights so I am available during the day and available the nights I don't work. I'm very active with my 2 dogs. I've pet sat for family and friends on a number of occasions. I have a half fenced in yard where my dogs love to play, they are well socialized and get along well with other pets. I am able to provide crate training and potting training.
“Julianna was wonderful! She was communicative, quick to respond, and right on time for Georgia’s drop-in visits. She took great care of our pup and sent us the sweetest pictures and updates while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing Georgia was in good hands and can’t wait to book with her again!”


“It was our first time leaving, Daphne, our cat alone for a weekend and we were apprehensive in leaving her with a sitter. Patricia took the time to come to our house and meet Daphne. When it came time to leave for our trip Patricia made sure to send us a whole bunch of pictures of her and Daphne playing and having a good time. Patricia made our first experience using Rover effortless and made us feel comfortable while we enjoyed our weekend. We will be sure to check if Patricia is available next time we book a trip.”

“Rachel is wonderful!! She relieved so much anxiety I had after getting my pup and leaving him all day while at work! She stopped over and let him out and gave him lovies & snuggles each visit! My boy LOVES her!! She moved at his pace and never tried to force anything! Communication was also excellent, and she let me know of any minor changes asap! I highly recommend Rachel!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since / was 25. Taking care of an animal is giving more color to life and making it happier. I'm always available after 3pm. I always have my day off on Friday and Saturday, totally free. I don't have children and I love animals. I like to play with the animal, I always take a toy, I like to give affection, I am always affectionate and kind to the pets.
“Amy was wonderful. She was affectionate and you could tell that she loved animals. She sent pictures of my puppy when she got there and while she was playing . I would recommend Amy and I will use her again.”

“Sarah was great! Dropped in two days in a row when we had stuff that would keep us away from home for longer than we wanted to leave the pups! They got to run around and go potty and be fed :) will absolutely be using her again”

“Did amazing with my boy!! He absolutely loved her and i was able to have 100% confidence in his care while I was away on a trip! Amberleigh went above and beyond for Blue and I was overly happy seeing so many updates for him and seeing how happy he was in her care:))”


“Tamikia did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away. She came at the scheduled time and did all that was asked of her and more. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. We enjoyed receiving the daily updates and photos while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”

“Olivia is a wonderful pet sitter and we couldn't be happier! We have a dog and two cats. Our dog can be weary and reactive with new people, especially when we are away for an extended period of time. Olivia's patience with her to earn her trust was very much appreciated. Olivia is also very friendly and great with communication. We felt very much at ease knowing she was taking good care of our pets and taking note of how they are doing and letting us know if they weren't eating all of their food so we can keep an eye on them. She also made sure everyone took their medications at each meal. Looking forward to having her watch them again!”

“Bryce was super friendly and communicative so it was easy to have peace of mind while being away from our cat. He also shared great updates and pictures of during his visits.”

OLIVIA was awesome watching my kitty while I was away! She followed all the instructions I asked for which was important to me not only because Buttons is disabled/special needs, but the little guy is also a bit *needy lol. You can tell shes def an animal lover and from the many pics she sent me, Buttons absolutely loved her. I had such peace of mind knowing he was well cared for and I dont think my furbaby noticed I was actually out of town, well not too much, lol.

Marci is an amazing sitter. She came by twice a day to feed and play with my cat while I was away. My cat is a rescue that is a little shy towards new people (and sometimes a little grumpy) and Marci went above and beyond to take care of her. She clearly has a lot of experience with animals, is extremely trustworthy, and I would 100% work with Marci again 😸

Audrey made our first experience with Rover so great. We got into a last minute pinch for our vacation she responded quickly was very flexible to meet up. She let Adam out each morning for us and provided in detail how his morning was. I’m so grateful for her answering all my first time questions and taking such great care of Sam for the week for me. We would love to use her again in the future.

Amberleigh did a great job with Luna and was very nice to work with. Very communicative and took great pictures. Gave us important updates about how she was doing and how her visits went. Really cared about Luna and took the time to play and spend time with her. Flexible and willing to work with us for Luna’s needs.

Juliana did an excellent job watching our two kittens, and we were especially grateful that she was available during the holidays. When they had the zoomies and somehow managed to disconnect the internet while we were away, she handled it right away and even remembered to plug the router back in without any issues. She was also great about taking care of any other requests we had. Most importantly, she was really sweet and attentive with our girls, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely hire her again in the future.

Chelsea and John were very considerate, kind, and took really great care of my pup!! Even helped me out in a bind during the snow storm. My pup was a happy camper and I was relieved to have someone watch her during the unplanned snow storm. I will definitely use their services again.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Isabella! She treats my dog with so much love and patience, and it truly shows every time he sees her he gets so excited. I always feel completely at ease knowing he’s in her care. Isabella is attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and amazing with pets. She’s the best! 🐾💛
