“I have used this app throughout the years and Nicholas is by far THE BEST! He is reliable, on time, communicates very well and leaves no trace. As a matter of fact, he left our place looking better than it was when we went away. Most importantly, our dog and cat were calm and happy - they were definitely in good hands. We recommend Nicholas and hope he is available for our family again in the future.”
“A fantastic sitter who truly goes above and beyond. During a storm, a tree blocked our road, and she and her partner helped clear it—an incredibly kind and unexpected gesture. She also took the initiative to restock our dog food, which saved us a trip after a long vacation. The dogs were happy and well-cared for, and we loved the photo updates. We'll definitely be booking with her again! Both of these options highlight the incredible things Lillian did, focusing on her proactive nature and the peace of mind she gave you. They also end on a positive note that makes it easy for other dog owners to see why she's a great choice.”

“Alicia is the best! We recently moved to the area and had a pre planned trip so I was nervous leaving Rori in our new house, but Alicia made me feel so calm with lots of updates of how Rori was doing. She really goes the extra mile to ensure your pet’s happiness. So great to know we have a wonderful new pet sitter in our new home! Thanks Alicia!”
“We highly recommend Marlie!! Our other sitter had to cancel last minute and Marlie was able to jump in and help us almost immediately! She was extremely professional and asked us all the right questions. You could definitely tell she has a lot of experience caring for animals. She sent us pictures each day with updates on how our dog Winnie was doing. She was very respectful of our home and even left “Pet Sitting Report Cards” for us to know how Winnie did each day. Marlie went above and beyond and we will definitely try to book her again! We had so much peace of mind while Marlie was caring for Winnie!”
“Camryn was wonderful caring for our pups at our place. We were out of town for a wedding for 4 days and you wouldn't even have known anyone was at our place. I would highly recomend having Camryn look after your home and/or dogs.”
About: Growing up in the heart of the Midwest, my life has been an extraordinary journey woven with the love and care of countless pets. From the loyal companionship of dogs and the soothing purrs of cats to the curious antics of birds, rabbits, reptiles, and even farm animals, I have raised nearly every pet you can imagine. Nurturing these animals has been more than just a hobby—it's been a calling. I find an unmatched sense of connection and fulfillment in their presence, often feeling closer to animals than to people. Their trust, unique personalities, and unconditional affection inspire me daily. My passion for raising, nurturing, and spending time with animals isn’t just a part of who I am; it’s my life’s purpose. I dream of transforming this deep-seated love into my main source of income, building a career that allows me to dedicate all my time and energy to the creatures that bring me the greatest joy. I have plenty of time for your pets needs, with full availability to watch your animals & cater to their unique needs, with love & care. I am super open to watching your cat fur babies in my home. I have one dog in the home who is acquainted with cats and your cats will be kept separate at all times.

“Michaela is an attentive, caring pet sitter. She is an excellent communicator and took perfect care of our little dog as well as our home. I cannot say enough positive things about our first experience with her and Rover.com. I highly recommend Michaela!!!!”
About: I had a cat growing up but the last 5 years I have had two large, fluffy mainecoon cats that’s are my whole word but at every high maintenance! I would be able to check on dogs and cats after early in the morning it or after work ends for me around 4:00. I have most Friday’s off so I have flexible, long weekends! My own animals are not outdoor cats but we have collars with trackers in case they ever run outside! But luckily they never have 😄 We are very careful about not leaving food out that’s toxic for them to eat like chocolate 🍫

Only asked her to let em out a few times a day to potty and eat but she went above our expectations and played with them, was very attentive and gave us a breakdown of their moods and behavior while we were away. So lucky to have her nearby (Rachell is noticeably an avid animal lover). Though I did get a little jealous when the dogs weren't overly excited when we got home. They definitely hadn't been starved for attention!”
