“Quick to respond, available and prompt. Recommend even though it’ll likely mean I won’t have her in the future due to everyone asking for her.”


“Kylie is a great communicator. She sent lots of photos of my typically elusive kitties.”


“Courtney was professional and communicative, which made me feel safe leaving my cat Kimchi under her care for the longest period we’ve been gone since getting her. Getting pictures and little descriptions gave me peace of mind abroad. Thank you Courtney!!”


“New users of Rover and we could not be happier with the sitter we chose based on reviews. We left for a week long trip and Erica put us at ease. It’s clear that she truly cares about our pets. Not only did she feed/water/litter scoop, she gave our cats quality play time while we were away, cleaned up vomit messes, and even fed our fish for us. She’s awesome! Highly recommend.”



“Mandy was great! I just moved to town and needed to find someone and she was very professional and accommodating and sent photos and gave great feedback of my dogs visits! Definitely plan to make her our future sitter as well!! Thanks again”



“The absolute BEST pet sitter! Not only is she thorough but she has wonderful communication throughout the entire visit. I got constant updates as well as tons of photos/ videos of all my babies! Whenever we go out of town again, she will definitely be the person I contact. If you are looking for someone to trust with your fur babies she is the person for you! Thanks again!!”


“Katherine was great with all 3 of my kitties. Made sure to update me when she arrived and took the time to play with them and clean up any messes they had left. Very thankful for her help while I was out of town on a business trip. Will definitely be booking her again for any future trips. Thanks!”


“My pup loves Pamela and always looks forward to seeing her. Pamela does a great job, is very caring, and we will continue to use her for our pet sitting needs.”


“Cole was AMAZING! He took great care of our 5 cats, including one who is diabetic and needed twice daily shots and another who is elderly and deaf with special feeding. He did way more than was required of him and was super responsive and helpful. We absolutely recommend Cole!”


“Jenna is great! She’s sat for us several times now and ensures our two fur babies are well taken care of and get love (when not hiding) while we are away.”


“Elizabeth is absolutely amazing! She cared for our seven old indoor cat for eight days, while we were away visiting family. Our cat was loved and cared for, and the litter box and food area was spotless. Most importantly our cat was happy and relaxed when we got home, and that often isn’t the case when we travel! Elizabeth is wonderful!”


“Monica is great with our timid yet hyper rescue pup! Always sends pictures and videos. Very prompt, respectful and trustworthy. We are a repeat client!!”

“Matt was awesome! He was super communicative about how our pets were doing and was able to come at the last minute when our previously scheduled sitter had an emergency.”


“Took great care of my cats!! Would hire again in a heart beat.”


“I’ve been using Rover for over 7 years for our dog, and Alexander is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. For each stay he leaves a detailed note of how our pup is doing, along with photos. He puts in 100% effort in each visit. I can tell he loves animals and is genuinely a very caring and good person. I hope to hire him again in the future! Thank you Alexander for all your help!”



“She took very good care of our fur babies. She sends pictures and updates of what’s being done. Very punctual and friendly. I highly recommend using her.”


“Alexis was great. We’d love to have her back. She was prompt with communication, asked great questions, and you could tell she clearly cared about our dogs.”


“Patricia is amazing! Great at communicating and giving updates from each visit! Super sweet and kind! Our dog Ryleigh loves her! 🐶🐾”


About: I am a retired Navy man currently working nights at post office. I have had dogs my entire life. My family and I volunteer with the Diamond Dachshund rescue of Texas. I am willing to work with special needs, as well as medication administration if needed. I enjoy any breeds, size or temperament. I can do walks, runs or just chilling at home. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make your pet comfortable while you are away. I have a very flexible schedule so I am available most days. I am willing to work with the schedule your pets require to make them happy. I currently have 3 doxies and a lab. My family fosters for two different rescues so the pets in my house may change from time to time.

St James Place pet parents share their Rover experiences
Thank you for taking such good care of my cat! He looked so comfortable during the visit. I really appreciated all the pictures too

Ella has been great with my little 8 week old guy. She’s very responsive and a great communicator! I highly recommended her!

Patricia is amazing! Great at communicating and giving updates from each visit! Super sweet and kind! Our dog Ryleigh loves her! 🐶🐾

Monica was fantastic! She sent pictures and videos which we very much appreciate. She was fantastic about communicating the dogs moods and behavior! Thank you so much Monica!

She did great. Totally loved on our dogs like they were her own. I appreciate the attention she gave them while we were away!

Katie was awesome with our 2 kitties!! She happily came by before the scheduled booking to meet them and so I could walk her thru their routines. Katie was very communicative and took great care of our cats while we were out of town. She was always on time, went above and beyond to clean up a mess my cat spilled, and gave them plenty of love while we were away. Definitely would book with her again in the future, and I absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Araceli is a wonderful puppy sitter. She has been very attentive with Sophie and ensures she receives everything she needs (including her water from the fridge since it’s cold 😅). I appreciate all of the things that seem small, but are a huge help in the end (like meeting Sophie ahead of her first drop in and bringing in some packages left at the door).

Abby did a wonderful job taking care of my old lady. She looked happy in every picture! It was so nice not having to worry about anything while we were away. Thank you so much Abby!!!

Always a pleasure to have Marissa take care of our kitties! All three of our cats come to love on her the moment she walks in. Marissa thank you so very much for being so thorough, caring, and trustworthy!

Karen did a great job taking care of my cat. She sends lots of pictures. She stays the whole time. She leaves everything neat and clean.

Sarah treats our pets like her own, and we couldn’t be more grateful! She always provides detailed Rover card updates and sends plenty of photos, which truly makes us feel connected and at ease while we’re away. We also really appreciate the thoughtful extras—like bringing in packages or handling our trash cans. It’s clear she goes above and beyond every time!

Nicole was great. My cats were taken care of excellently. This was the second time Nicole cared for my pets. Both times I am pleased without a doubt. I recommend Nicole to anyone who needs their pets cared for in the future.

Alexandria was wonderful. She is very experienced and attentive to details! I look forward to having her watch Obi again!

Thank you for watching the boys again! We have such peace of mind with Liz watching our cats while we travel. She provides great updates and makes sure the cats are safe and get lots of love. I also appreciate that she goes above and beyond to check on the house too. Thank you again!

Betsy was wonderful!! She did such a great job and kept me well updated. I know Nyx was in great hands with her and I am so happy with her communication throughout!

Terrific communication, friendly. I was comforted knowing that our beloved pug was being well cared for while we were away.

Jessica has watched our animals a few times now and she is awesome. I can’t tell our pets love her from the pics she sends. She’s great and provides feedback to give you the trust your pets are in good hands. 5/5, will hope Jess is available next time we’re in need of someone to love on our pets while we’re gone.
