14. grace c.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with energetic puppies and taking sweet care of older pets. I’m dedicated to making sure each pet feels special and loved! Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine, even with my school schedule. I fit in walks and feeding before and after classes, and I make time for play and training in the evenings, I’m also free on the weekends and able to give pets extra attention and care. Balancing school and pet care requires planning, but it ensures that pets receive the attention and love they deserve. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I focus on making them feel comfortable and happy. I stick to their feeding schedules and provide regular exercise and playtime. I create a cozy environment with their favorite toys and bedding. For client homes, I follow their specific instructions and keep them updated, making sure their pets feel as at ease as they would with their owners.


15. Brooke R.

“Brooke has been watching my puppy Mazie for over a month now! She is always on time, lets me know how Mazie is doing, and sends lots of pictures. If you are looking for a sitter I would 100% recommend her, she’s the best!”


16. John & Erika E.
“John grew up with three yellow Labs and currently has two dachshunds. He considers Oscar and Slinky his family. He loves dogs and is very comfortable around all types. One of his dogs requires special care which John strictly adheres. I know John well and find him to be very caring, trustworthy and reliable. I highly recommend John for Rover.”


17. Casey J.
“I've had the pleasure of knowing Casey for 20+ years and I can confidently say he would make an excellent dog sitter. On a personal level, not only is Casey the most reliable & trustworthy friend I have but he also has a deep love and understanding for dogs. I know this, because of the way I see how he handles and cares for his own dog. He is an incredibly responsible and attentive person—whether it’s feeding, exercise, or just ensuring quality time is spent with his dog. I would also like to mention, he has a great pet friendly space with room to run around. I have no doubt in my mind that any dog would be in loving hands when taken under Casey’s care.”


18. Elizabeth N.

“Elisabeth was great for an “out of towner” that needed a one time drop in dog sit. Super responsive, awesome with the dogs. Lilly and Leo didn’t want her to go. Highly recommend.”


19. Matt V.

“Matt was great. Awesome communication and really easy to work with. Very caring and immediately bonded with my cat as soon as he met him. Would not hesitate yo have him come back in the future. Thanks Matt!”


20. Melinda & David L.
“Melinda L. is a wonderful pet sitter! She is very kind, and super-friendly to both animals and people alike. Melinda has taken care of our dog several times when we have traveled, and has done a great job. Our dog loves her; she always gets very excited whenever she sees Melinda. (And vice versa, which is great to see too!) As a long-time dog owner herself, Melinda knows how to care for dogs, and she does it well. I highly recommend Melinda L. for Rover.com!”
