“Jessica is a life saver! She swooped in to help when my sitter fell through while I was already away. She took amazing care of my babies and went above and beyond. Definitely recommend you work with her!”

“Christina did a phenomenal job taking care of our cat! I’m an anxious cat mom and she did a wonderful job with him and updated me so much! I can’t wait to use her again and now I can leave knowing my kitty is SO well taken care of!!! Thanks again!”

“I would highly recommend Tara to watch your furry family member! She watched our cat, Penny, and I felt extremely comfortable leaving Penny in her hands. Our cat can be very fresh and stand off-ish but i think Tara did a really good job of making Penny comfortable by being presence but giving Penny her space. When we did our meet and greet Tara was very thorough in asking questions and making sure she knew everything she had to, things i would not of thought of! I would absolutely book with Tara again!”

“I contacted Dana to drop in and check on my cat for a half hour a day while I was away. She did an excellent job and I’m grateful that my cat had company for a little while.”

“This was my first time using Celeste. As soon as she came in, she went right over to my kitty cat to try to get to know her. She was very kind to her and my cat liked her right away. The first visit went very well and I will absolutely 100% hire her again to watch our precious kitty cat.”

“Carly was great! I had to book her last minute because my dog walker fell through. She was flexible and accommodating and made my time away from home stress free. She always showed up on time and kept me updated about my pup. I would definitely have Carly watch Stella again!”

About: I have always owned a dog, my mom used to breed dogs so I always was around them. I have been taking care of animals since I was little but I would say for the last 10-15 years I actually did dog watching and would watch my grandmothers friends dogs at her house and would also drop in as needed. I have 3 dog babies and they are exactly that, big babies. I rescued all 3 from a rescue as puppy’s and my pitty was a runt and now is a big boy! I also have fostered dogs and helped my sister with her fosters. I can help with basic tricks but I’m not a professional and don’t claim to be! I have lived and taken care of some senior dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs from puppies to senior. I am also comfortable giving meds if needed, I haven’t had to give a dog an injection but I am willing to learn if you are willing to teach! I currently work fulltime as a unit secretary at the hospital, I can leave during my break for an hour. I work 7am-330pm and I am free most evenings after work. I also work every 3rd weekend so I am available on my off weekends. But the weekend I work I am not available because I work 7a-7p. If your pup needs some extra time to get used to people I am more then happy to come over before you book and meet them to make sure I can help make you and them as comfortable as possible. I am comfortable walking 2 big dogs at a time and 3-4 smalls dogs at a time. I don’t mind updating you as much as you need as they are your babies just as mine are to me. I put Shrek and Harry Potter on for my boys so they don’t get lonely during the day. I also make sure anything they can get into that might hurt them is away, and I make sure they have their collars on as well as double checking doors are locked. I am very accommodating so it never hurts to ask questions to see if it’s something I can help you feel more comfortable!
“Katie was awesome! We needed drop in visits for our 2 cats very last minute and she was able to help us in a pinch! Will definitely use her services again if we ever go out of town. 10/10 thank you soooo much. You are our vacation hero!”

“Thank you Karen for taking such great care of our kitties Ping and Ollie! Your punctuality, updates and pictures were very much appreciated. Your persistence in trying to get pics of my “skitty kitties” was awesome and certainly paid off 😊 If you’re looking for a friendly, highly reliable person who truly cares about your pets, and keeps you posted, look no further, Karen is your girl!!! Will definitely rebook when I need a sitter again. 🥰 A+++”

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have also been around cats too. Im very patient, understanding, loyal and trustworthy. I love all animals and would love to help anyone out that needs it. My schedule is flexible and usually can work on last second notices. I would love to get to know you and your pet so everyone can lead a happy life. I work full time as a High School teacher during the week but have time after the school day is over and on weekends to come by. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats at my house. The backyard is fenced in and I have it set up like a dog park. My dogs would love to play in the backyard with other pets. My 2 cats are inside cats and are scared of everything. They rarely come out when anyone new comes to the house. I could come to your place to walk, play and feed your dogs but I could also pick your pet up and bring them to my house for a play date in the backyard (once everyone feels comfortable, of course)
About: What sets me apart is my reliable, loving care that puts pets first. I’m experienced with giving medications, following each pet’s unique routine, and making sure they get plenty of outdoor time and attention. I treat every animal like family—with patience, consistency, and genuine affection. I’m currently self employed so I make my own schedule. Monday, Wednesday, and sometimes weekends work best right now. I can work around days as well. I can easily follow whatever instructions are left for me. My home is fenced in and has gates so your pet getting out wouldn’t be a problem.
“Hi. This was my first time using Rover.com I am so glad that I did. I went on vacation for a week and was so nervous about leaving my babies home alone. But, Dawn was so good with them that all of my worries were put to rest and I could enjoy myself. Dawn made sure that she checked in with me every day to let me know that they were ok. I will definitely be using Rover.com if I go away again and I will use Dawn again to take care of my Cats. Thanks Dawn!”
“Morgan was great for multiple check ins with my dog, Juno! She showed up on time, was great with communication with me, and dealt with her crazy energy levels. She gave medication and food at the times we asked. She was great and we’d definitely use her again!”

“Tara was wonderful. She took excellent care of our cat Lucy. I could tell that Tara gave Lucy lots of love and attention. Tara was on time for every scheduled visit and did everything we requested regarding Lucy's care. I would highly recommend Tara to anyone and will definitely use her again!”

“Barbara was wonderful. She visited Pangur (aka Mama) even before we left for our vacation. She always communicated with us to ease our mind while we were away. I would highly recommend and use Barbara again. And our Mama loved her too!”

“Lisa Marie was fantastic with my boys! She sent me pics at every drop in and by the end even my less affectionate cat was loving up on her. She was very communicative and gave my two cats lots of playtime and love. It felt good to know that they were well taken care of! Usually my boys are full of energy after I leave them alone for a night or two, but they were very sweet and snuggly this time since Lisa Marie kept them busy with their toys! I will definitely use Lisa Marie again in the future.”

“Jennifer took incredible care of my two-year-old cat, and I couldn’t be happier! This was my first time having someone outside of my family pet sit, so I was definitely nervous — but Jennifer instantly put me at ease. I left very specific instructions and shared my worries with her, and she went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. She kept me updated after every visit with detailed reports and plenty of photos, which I truly appreciated. From her updates and the way my little guy looked in the pictures, I could tell he trusted her completely and felt safe and loved in her care. I’m so grateful I chose Jennifer and would book her again and again without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive, I highly recommend her!”

Christina did an amazing job taking care of our cat for an extended period! She developed a great bond with him and her pictures and updates showed just how much fun he was having. She went the extra mile to make sure she never missed a visit, even after 2 feet of snow! We avoided vacations for so long because we felt we couldn’t leave him but she showed us just how happy he can be with her company! We can’t wait to use Christina’s services again!

Tara was wonderful. She took excellent care of our cat Lucy. I could tell that Tara gave Lucy lots of love and attention. Tara was on time for every scheduled visit and did everything we requested regarding Lucy's care. I would highly recommend Tara to anyone and will definitely use her again!
