“Maryjane was just Wonderful Sitter. Cozmo was so comfortable and happy! Maryjane kept me informed which was wonderful and so nice to see Cozmo and Maryjane getting along. I would recommend Maryjane to dog sitter anytime she is just Marvelous! Thank You Gail and Cozmo?❤️”


“Once again "auntie Bonnie" took excellent care of our 2 labs! She loved on them like her own, let them sleep with her (thats what they are used to), played with them (oh so many times she had to throw the ball) was in close communication via text, calls and photos! I have never been able to trust anyone the way we trust Bonnie! Thank you, Bonnie!!!”



“We were very happy with Ernest. He took excellent care of Missy. How do we know? Because she was happy when we got home, ate all of her food while we were gone and got undivided attention and did not seem overly concerned that we had been gone!”


“Karrie watched our two GSP’s for a long weekend we were away. We got some good pics of the girls to let us know all was well and it definitely made being away from them easier. Karrie is friendly, personable and the girls seemed to enjoy their time with her.”


“We will have David back again! He kept our fur babies safe, and was so kind to them. My one dog usually hides in the bedroom, and she was out and felt comfortable around him. He sent us pics of our dogs, and made sure our little 4lb dog Sprout was safe. Both of our dogs loved him! David was respectful and kept in constant communication with me from beginning to end. We felt at peace leaving our dogs with him!”

“Natalie was a huge help when our other Rover Sitter cancelled the day of our sit. She was so wonderful for dropping everything and making it to our home so we could leave. She is a very mature young woman who we found very capable with our three girls. One of our girls is not an easy dog to sit for and all seemed to go very well. Thanks, Natalie, we appreciate your help.”


“Emily was great. We got morning and night updates from her. By the pictures she sent and knowing my dogs I can tell they were comfortable with her and just living their best life. Communication was great and house was left just like we left it. She saved us from a last minute cancellation from another sitter and I will be booking again with her if needed.”


“Steffanie is a wonderful sitter and I highly recommend her to watch your pets! She is very friendly, professional, self sufficient and a natural with animals. Steffanie stayed in our home for a week and took care of our 2 dogs and 1 cat, she kept us updated with texts and photos to let us know that all was well and gave our dogs extra love during the daily Florida storms. We returned home to a spotless house and happy pets!”


“Liz is such a sweetheart and very trustworthy. She was so good with our 7 month old pup Oz. He just adored her. When we got home we could tell he had a great day and wasn’t the slightest bit stressed out. We will be having her help us with our pup again!!”


“I understand that Rover has many pet sitters to choose from, but we have hit the lottery with Jennifer! She spent time with our baby boy Pete and could not have been more loving, compassionate and attentive. We highly recommend Jennifer for any pet sitting needs.”


About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feedings, administering medications, or just providing lots of love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and attentive when you’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. From high-energy pups to senior pets needing extra TLC, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved. I also have experience with chickens if you need someone to gather eggs and keep an eye on food and water! Every pet has their own personality, so I love tailoring our time together to what they enjoy most! For playful pups, we’ll go on walks, play fetch, and have tug-of-war sessions to burn off energy. If your pet loves to cuddle, we’ll have plenty of cozy downtime and belly rubs. I also enjoy mentally stimulating activities like puzzle toys, basic training games, and scent work to keep their minds sharp. For cats, I bring out the feather wands, laser pointers, and all the chin scratches they can handle. Whether it’s adventure or snuggles, I’ll make sure your pet has a blast and feels loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure their environment is calm, secure, and stress-free. When checking on pets in your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things clean and consistent to help your pet feel at ease. If caring for pets in my home, I make sure the space is pet-proofed, cozy, and full of enrichment. We have a 4 acre property that is fully fenced in so your pet will be safe and secure. I always monitor interactions closely, especially if there are multiple pets, and I never leave them unattended during outdoor time. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands.

“So very happy we found Courtney! Our new rescue dog and very old cat both loved her and so do we. We had a wonderful meet and greet. Then she showed up on time and did everything we asked. Very comforting to know our fur family and home are in good hands. We look forward to having Courtney come again someday.”


“Nikki is the absolute best caregiver for our dogs! She treats them like family and provides the best updates with the cutest pictures! We never worry when we leave our dogs with her. She is the best Rover sitter we have had by far.”

“Danielle recently spent a week at my house taking care of our 4 year old golden retriever. We were going out of the country and for the first time could not leave him with our daughter and son-in-law. Danielle did such a fantastic job taking care of our Renegade. He has a medical condition and needs to get his meds exactly 12 hours apart. Danielle set her alarm for both the AM and PM pill administrations. She then texted me each time to let me know he had had his pills. She was with him basically 24/7 and sent me pictures and videos and always answered my calls. She is a very sweet and caring person who obviously loves animals and is wonderful with them. She played with Renegade and even called me to tell me he had a hotspot on his tail and offered to take him to the vet. My husband and I felt so comfortable having Danielle taking care of our precious pup. We will be using Danielle for all of our future trips. We highly recommend her. She is truly a gem.”


About: I’ve fostered many kittens since 15. I’ve grown up in an animal loving place where we’ve had 5 cats and a dog. I volunteer at an animal shelter once a week and I’m going to school for the vet field. Growing up I’ve always loved animals regardless of size and age. I’m currently a college student so I can only board Friday thru Sunday but I can definitely walk and play with animals Monday thru Thursday after 5pm. :) I have a big 3 bedroom house with two fur babies would love to play with your dog. They will be kept separated at night and we do have a spare crate if you want yours crated.

Kacey E.
“Kacey has cared for my pets multiple times. I never hesitate leaving them in her care. Kacey is thoughtful, kind, and gentle. My pets absolutely adore her. When my dog is with her, I know he is going to receive plenty of exercise, belly rubs, timely meals, and plenty of potty breaks. When my cat is in her care she gives extra attention to ensure he is not stressed taking time to wait for him to appear to play with him and scratch is ears. My cat comes out right away to greet her now! I give Kacey my absolute highest recommendation.”

Michelle V.
“Michelle loves to work with animals and has always dreamed of working in a field with them. She’s super sweet and loves to care for each and every individual animal she meets. She loves both cats and dogs and has been taking care of them since she was young. She has been raised around cats but has a dog of her own who is extremely spoiled. I think she would make a really good sitter. She might be shy to people but she loves her animals.”

I understand that Rover has many pet sitters to choose from, but we have hit the lottery with Jennifer! She spent time with our baby boy Pete and could not have been more loving, compassionate and attentive. We highly recommend Jennifer for any pet sitting needs.

Danielle was a wonderful sitter once again! She stayed at our house taking care of our 3 pups for the week. She maintained consistent communication, providing updates and pictures everyday. Danielle also goes above and beyond by making sure she’s at our house before we leave, even if it’s early in the morning, to make the transition as easy as possible for our babies. We will definitely ask her to stay again!
