“Another great job by Katie! My scaredy cat is warming up to Katie more & more. I’m grateful to have found her. I don’t worry about my fur babies while I’m away, I know they’re in good hands.”
“I highly recommend Lila. She did an amazing job with my three cats. She is very diligent and honest. Gustav needs a pill and she was able to give him that. Betty is very timid but she went to Lila. Lila kept me updated with texts and photos everyday. She went above and beyond. I look forward to having Lila take care of my fur babies whenever I travel!”
“Derek took excellent care of my Pyrenean Mastiff on a last minute booking for 5 days. He was also respectful of my home and neighbors. Really appreciate his help and would encourage anyone to work with Derek as he is kind, respectful, on time and easy to communicate with. Thanks Derek!!”
“Jessica is a very competent and caring sitter. Toby was having some health and mobility issues and she treated him wonderfully and kept me informed on his condition. I recommend Jessica and will call her again.”
About: I love all animals and have had dogs and cats my entire life. I have also taken care of the pets of friends, coworkers, and neighbors at every opportunity! I am currently working part-time from home; and make my own schedule so I would be available at a moment’s notice to care for your critter. I have so many years of animal care experience. While I cannot bring any animals to my home (because of a very territorial kitty), I would be happy to spend as much time as needed with your pet at your residence!
About: I have been a dog owner (small. medium, large, house and sporting breeds) for 55 years and cat owner for 10 years. It is my passion to now take care of others pet needs. I am now retired and have plenty of time to help other manage the love of their pets when they are not available to do so. I cannot take care of pets in my home at this time. I rent and have 3 pets, significant other, a daughter and a grandson in the house.
“Sabrina was scheduled to do drop-in visits beginning Friday evening through Sunday morning, every 12 hours. Thor requires medication for his severe heart murmur and prolapsed valve - his medication helps to keep him happy and healthy. Sabrina arrived promptly at 6:00 pm, medicated Thor, fed Matilda and Winston (Ralphie was a no-show all weekend), but the others were fed, pet, and their litter boxes cleaned. Clearly, some fun was also had with the many toy options. The cats were well-maintained, safe, and happy - this is what matters to us! Thank you Sabrina for taking such time and care with our babies - and especially for sharing their pictures.”
About: I have worked with dog trainers so I know some training skills needed to help some pups. I also can administer meds if needed. I have had farm animals so I have that experience as well. I am looking to fill some time with some animals because of my love for them. I take care of everything from farm animals to cats. I can watch small dogs at my home. I have gates and a safe environment. I am more than willing to watch pets in the clients home to make them feel safe.
“Absolutely amazing. My dogs usually take a few visits for them to feel comfortable but within 10 minutes Luna was kissing her and within 30 minutes General was off leash and not paying any attention. He took treats from her no problem.”
“We have difficult dogs and Becca was amazing! I loved that she updated us with pictures and messages from each visit so we knew how everything was going while we were away. Thanks Becca!”
“Tiffany has been awesome. She is great with our puppy and he enjoys his walks with her. She makes sure he is fed and has a drink. Thank you so much for treating him as your own. We appreciate it.”
About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was born. My parents always had cats and dogs and as the years went on, we had all sorts of animals from bunnies, horses, chickens. I rescued a cat when I lived in my apartment because I was completely lost not having an animal in my home. I actually put down a deposit on my golden retriever before moving out of my apartment that didn't allow them because I couldn't live without a dog anymore, so I knew that I would need to buy a home by then. Sure enough, we did- we bought our home so that we could have a dog. I work full-time as a nurse in Charlton and also reside in Charlton. I am available in the evenings during the week and am available all weekend days including Fridays. I cannot wait to meet your fur babies!! I work full time as a nurse but I am available evenings as well as all day friday-sunday each week. I work 5 minutes from my home so I am able to check on pets on my lunch break as well. I have a big yard and part of my yard is fenced in. I have poop bags, leashes, extra collars, purina pro dog food, plenty of cat and dog treats, cat food, and a litter box.
“Mallory was great! We are first time Rover users under recommendation from our daughter in law who was a Rover sitter. We are so impressed by Mallory- she was on time, very caring while treating our kiddos like her own! Great updates on the app and always on time - no worries during our time away from kiddos! We plan on being a repeat customer with scheduling again with Mallory for our next trip!!!!”
“Sierra is fantastic! She was very patient upon first meeting my shy/reactive rescue. Because of that patience, my dogs both love her! It was such a relief to know that I don’t have to worry about them being alone all day and gives me peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands!”
About: I have three dogs of all ages in my home. One of 9, one is 3, and one is 6 months! All dogs all ages and sizes deserve all the love and attention. The trick to dog care is knowing the signs dogs give you. All dogs go at there own speed! I currently have lots of time on my hands therefore gives me a lot of time to get to know and love some fur babies! I believe all dogs are happier when active, weather that's playing fetch or a slow pace walk. Always make sure they get the play time they need and lots of treats of course!

Michael F.
“Mike is what I call the animal whisperer. Mike gas a special connection with pets, to include our 2 cats and a dog with anxiety. We have 4 of us living in the house and each pet gravitate towards Mike every day. They love us as well, but you can see the bond Mike has with each pet. Mike has a tremendous amount of live for any animal. I have also witnessed Mike's interactions with pets being walked in front of our home, pets that don't know Mike and they to are immediately relaxed and interactive with Mike. I believe Mile would he an asset to Rover in any capacity with any type of pet.”
