“Excellent first experience on rover. We have an eldery cat with medicines, and a young hyper active kitten. Nikki and William did an amazing job visiting twice a day with detailed updates, photos of the status of the house and them loving on the kitties. Their service is preferable over our family watching over them now”

“Jenni was fantastic! Great communication, and I felt safe leaving my pets in her care. Will definitely seek her out again in the future. Thank you so much, Jenni! (Enzo and Emme say thanks as well, lol)”

“Lee Marie was wonderful! She was thorough and thoughtful, and my babies were very well taken care of while we were on our honeymoon! She went above and beyond, even taking our trash out and providing detailed updates each day. We loved her and will absolutely be booking with her again on our next trip! Thank you Lee Marie!”

“Rachael is very happy and works hard. She listens to the information she’s given at meet and greets. She doesn’t need her hand held; she just loves on your pets and does what’s asked of her. Will definitely use again! This time was for a drop in to let out and love on my Daisy a bit.”

“Wonderful Jessica. You were communicating daily, cats were fine when I returned. Jessica sent photos with notes. Very professional. Will definitely use Rover again. We have used them in the past and we’re just as satisfied as before. Thank you Jessica and Rover. Harriet”
“Jamie and Cody were great! They communicated with me throughout my time away, letting me know how my babies were doing. I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about the pups. I will be booking Jamie and Cody again in the future.”
About: I have been dog sitting for 10 years. Not only will they get a walk or visit but they will also receive a belly rub and play time. I am currently available everyday for the next couple weeks and then I will be available 4 days a week. Once I start work again my days vary from each week. Dog walking is a passion because I love walking and will gladly have a little companion walk beside me. I will take great care of your best friend and make sure he is well exercised. If your dog is learning commands I will uphold them and practice the tricks with him or her. Message me to find out more information and hopefully I see you soon! I have and open schedule during the week Monday through Thursday and would love to fill my time visiting you cat or dog or taking your dog on a walk. Walks are very enjoyable for me, especially with a companion. I ensure that dogs are safe on their walks. They will walk on the side furthest from the road and always remain on leash during walks. I will also make sure that their immediate environment is free from choking hazards.
“Renee was a dream come true when I needed help to drop in on my 3 cats twice a day while away. I'd never considered a pet sitter before, having relied on random people to assist. She made friends with all of them and they weren't anxious or distressed when I came home. I appreciate her genuine love for animals and her natural knack for knowing how to interact with them. She has a real heart for caring for animals, that's the greatest thing anyone could ask for. Thank you Renee, the cats are happy to have me home but I think they're wondering where you are too ❤️.”

“Hailee was the best! She was very prompt in getting back with me when I requested her to come and set with my two goldendoodles. She drooped in three times a day with our girls for several days and she was always on time. She played, fed, watered and loved them. She also was so good about sending pictures and letting me know how my girls were doing. Everything was very clean when I came back home. I highly recommend her and I will be using her again.”

About: I've been caring for pets since childhood and frequently care for friends pups while they're away. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with specific health requirements. I'm happy to provide the best care for your pet because they deserve to be treated like family even when you're away! I'm self-employed and a student, so while my schedule stays busy I have plenty of flexibility for daily visits and occasional over-night stays as needed. Please fill me in on any time sensitive requirements for your furry friend and I'll do my best to accommodate or be upfront with my restrictions! Leaving your pet with a stranger can be terrifying. I'm committed to maintaining open communication and following any rules to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible. Some pets require more patience than others and that's ok! I'm happy to provide customized care and treat each pet and home as if it were my own. Please feel free to ask for photos of your pet from my visit!
About: With 8 years of hands-on experience as a veterinary technician, a lifetime of owning and loving dogs, and 4 years competing in collegiate animal care programs, I bring both professional knowledge and genuine passion to every walk. I understand canine behavior, health, and safety on a deeper level than the average dog walker, and I treat every pup like my own. Whether it’s recognizing subtle signs of stress, managing special needs, or simply making sure your dog has a fun, fulfilling outing, you can feel confident they’re in experienced, capable, and caring hands. 🐾 As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout most weekdays, evenings, and many nights. This allows me to offer reliable, consistent care and accommodate a variety of schedules, including last-minute needs when possible. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to provide dependable availability and give each dog the time, attention, and care they deserve. I treat every client’s home with the same respect, care, and responsibility as I would my own. Safety is always my top priority—I follow all instructions closely, maintain secure entry and exit practices, and ensure your dog remains in a calm, controlled, and healthy environment at all times. With my veterinary technician background, I’m highly attentive to behavior, surroundings, and potential risks. You can trust that your home will be respected, your privacy protected, and your dog cared for with professionalism, cleanliness, and genuine compassion.
“Brittany did a fantastic job taking care of my little dude while I was on vacation. Good with updates and letting me know how things were going. I would highly recommend her if you have pet sitting needs.”

“Katherine is always so so good with our bunny, Basil. She has cared for her several times now and I never feel like I have to worry about Basil when are on trips. I’d highly recommend her, she is amazing!”

“Doug was great; he went above and beyond what was expected. There is some sibling rivalry between my two cats and he made sure both of them had a chance to eat by sticking around and feeding them in separate rooms if need be. He also kept an eye on the house, and kept me informed of any suspicious activity in the neighborhood, made sure our windows were locked, took out the trash, etc. He was very communicative and responsive. This definitely made me feel more at ease during our trip. When the Microsoft crash shut all the airlines down, he reached out to see if our flight was affected and said he could keep feeding the cats if needed. I would highly recommend Doug for other pet owners, and would definitely use his services again in the future.”

About: I've had pets my whole life. They are an extension of our family unit. If you're a dog person at some point you decided whether you're a big dog person or small dog person. I most definitely am a big dog person, although I've spent a lot of time helping and taking care of smaller dogs. I work full time from home. I can do drop ins during the day, if close enough to my house. My time opens up much more after work. At home I have a fenced yard and large crate. I do have other animals, so if your baby isn't comfortable around pother dogs or cats, I'd be more than happy to care for your baby in the environment they're most comfortable in. My work is remote, so as long as I have access to wifi, I can come to you.
“Anita was great. She gave my kitties company and gave one of them asthma meds for 5 days while I was out of town. She was flexible when I decided to let one of the cats go outside”
