“Very attentive and accomidating and trustworthy. Her communication was excellent and was more than expected with someone providing these services. Would recommend to family and friends.”

“Kimberly was phenomenal with our two cats during her drop in visits! I was so happy to see that even our less social cat, enjoyed having Kim over for playtime-- it usually takes Lemon a while to warm up to strangers, but Kim was able to get her to play! I had been very nervous to leave the cats alone, but having such a caring sitter made the process much easier-- Kim's pictures of my cats eagerly playing and updates on their food & water supply gave me the peace of mind to enjoy my trip, instead of worrying about Lemon & Penne! Kim has a way with pets and I will absolutely contact her again the next time I need someone to watch my cats. I would recommend her to anyone, especially those with more reserved cats! Her energy brings them out of their shell. Thank you Kim!”


“Linda was a great help with my cats while I was on vacation. Although Felix and Oscar, my 2 kittens downstairs tried to hide from her in the beginning, with a few more days, she would have won them over completely. My older cat, Lucy warmed up to her quickly and enjoyed being fed her churu treats each day. Linda took great care to clean up after my cats and made sure they had plenty of food and water. I would recommend Linda to other nervous pet owners like myself as she provided me with peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely use her again if she is willing.”

“Our first experience with Leah has been great! She took perfect care of our 4cats. Leah is a great communicator and took good initiative when things arose that we hadn’t been able to discuss in advance. We’ll definitely feel our cats are in excellent hands when we have the opportunity to have her here again!”

“Alessia always does a wonderful job looking after my cats! She’s responsive, flexible and so great with kitties. I always feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“***FIRST TIME ROVER USER**** When my normal sitter became unavailable, unexpectantly, I had no idea what to do. I was at the point of not going away on my vacation because it was about a week away from leaving. This was my first time using Rover, and my anxiety was through the roof about the entire process and the idea of a stranger coming into my home. I chose Marybeth primarily based upon location, her photos of her and her pets and her age/experience. Upon meeting Marybeth, her overall kindness and genuine, sweet, friendly personality put me at ease immediately. She listened attentively to what my needs were and my animals routines, without trying to change or judge anything. She was promptly responsive to all of my communication prior to leaving for my trip and the duration as well. When meeting (2) of my (3) fur babies kitties (only because 1 is a scaredy cat and won't come out for anyone really), you could tell immediately that she has a love of cats and taking care of them appropriately and lovingly. I left instructions for her and she followed all of my requests (even non animal related, like bringing in my mail and checking on my refrigerator door that pops open). She was even kind enough to check on my hamster even though that was not part of the animals requested to watch. Every day while I was gone, she was on time, left me a happy little note about the status of everything and pictures of all my babies. Personally, the fear/worry/anxiety about leaving my babies as well as just someone coming in my home was enormous, and Marybeth really put that to ease for me. (I know I already mentioned that, but I figured for anyone reading this, who is on the fence about hiring through Rover). I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, kind, sweet person to take care of your precious family members while you are away. She even returned my key promptly upon my return. Thank you to her again. I am forever grateful for her.”

“Larry was amazing with my boys! He communicated and follow the schedule. We were traveling and our plane was delayed for a whole day due to a snow storm he was able to extend the care for my babies and I’m forever grateful for that!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have lived with multiple dogs at a time. I also have experience navigating food, treats, toys, and walking with multiple dogs at a time. I fostered three dogs before adopting my own. I loved training my own dog as a puppy and would be happy to help with yours while sitting. I work part-time with a very flexible schedule. I am available most days for dog walks and overnight stays. I prefer to have your dog stay with me aside from 1-2 night stays. I alternate walls with either 2-3 neighborhood daily walks or a longer hike with a daily walk, however will accommodate dogs needs as advised. I will follow your lead as you know your pet best in regards to feeding, sleeping areas, and exercise. I understand how it takes a lot of trust to leave your pet with someone else so I aim to be an excellent communicator, attentive and responsive to your pets needs. I prefer to walk dogs on leash especially with an orange vest during hunting season, unless in an enclosed space. I am a big fan of having my dog Ziggy meet yours outside of the home first and/or letting your dog sniff around before bringing my dog in to avoid over stimulation and potential aggression. Although my dog is not possessive or aggressive towards other dogs! I have a fenced yard with grass to allow the dogs to play and use the bathroom. I do not have a kennel, so if your dog kennels, we will need to bring it to our home. Looking forward to meeting your dog!
About: Caring for animals is a genuine joy of mine! Growing up with a black lab, I have taken care of pets since I was a kid. Friends and family often trust me to look after their animals, because I’m dependable and enjoy spending time with them. I understand the importance of giving pets plenty of care and attention while also respecting their individual needs and personal space, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well-loved. I’m currently working part time with a flexible schedule, so there is plenty of time to care for your pets! I also love being active so I will happily get in as many walks as needed! In order to ensure your pet feels comfortable with me and with me in your home, I always request that we do a meet and greet prior to booking for the first time.
“Christina was awesome, she was very reliable and took very good care of our cat, feeding and litter. She sent pictures each visit and tried each time to engage our cat, who unfortunately stubbornly decided to stay under a bed while she was there. We would definitely use her again.”

“Nicole went above and beyond for our two cats while we were out of town for almost 2 weeks, including staying extra time to try and find our super shy cat, and helping us rig up a camera to watch her eat to make sure she was doing well. She also brought in our mail and a couple packages while we were gone which was a huge help. Both cats were well cared for, even though one never made an appearance!!”

“So I am a travel nurse working in Scottsbluff, and I have had the pleasure of Phelan taking fabulous care of my furbaby Remi. She is very passionate and loving and played a lot with my dog. I would definitely recommend her.”
