“Rachel was wonderful! Took great care of my Luna, great communication throughout, even went above and beyond to take care of a Roomba that likes to cause trouble and get stuck places... I will definitely ask her to cat sit for me the next time I am out of town!”


2. Michelle G.

“Michelle was incredible! She went above and beyond what we asked when she checked on our cat, Pounce. We came home to a happy and fed cat! Will absolutely look to use Michelle again in the future.”

“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.”




6. Linda A.


“I am beyond satisfied and so pleased with Linda's care for my kitties while I was away. It can be so stressful for Pets (and Pet Parents), trying to make sure all is okay when out of town, especially when an older animal may need special care. Linda went above and beyond, was reliable, respectful and responsible (a huge snow storm didn't prevent her from visits) flexible-my plans changed due to a family issue, twice. Linda was calm and accommodating, which gave me such peace of mind. And my home was tidier than when I left! Most important- my cats are happy, apparently well fed and amused, and not traumatized by being away from their home or ignored. Linda's daily photos and "report card" was terrific! Thank you, Linda, for everything. Now my cats are back to ignoring me, I know they're probably waiting for Linda to come by...!”

About: I have many years of dog care experience with dogs of all ages. I have been a dog sitter and walker for neighbors, friends, and family dogs treating them with love and the level of care as if they were my own. I have also fostered puppies (an amazing experience)! I believe every dog deserves someone to love and take care of them, and that is my mission for your furry friend! I am currently a sophomore at Siena College studying biology while playing Division 1 soccer. Currently during the spring semester, I am typically available ALL DAY ON WEEKENDS and at certain times throughout the week. On MONDAY AND FRIDAY, I am usually available from 9:30am-3pm, and 6:30pm-10pm. On WEDNESDAY I am available from 9:30am-3pm. I am typically unavailable on TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS until 6:30pm-10pm. The safety of your dog is my top priority. I have no problem using crates or gates, or following specific rules given to be by the dogs owner.


8. Hailey A.

“Hailey watched our very velcro and very muscular staffy mix and followed all directions well. Hailey was prompt and friendly. Zale felt safe and is tired out! Will rebook!”


9. Phelan S.

“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.”


10. Hannah Elizabeth T.
“I've know Hannah for a couple of years now, and in the past 8 months or so whenever I am out of town I have her look after my bearded collie Brighton. She has never let me down, and has taken great care of Brighton. He gets very excited whenever she comes to visit, and her dog Nellie plays very well with him.”


11. Tiffany M.

“Tiffany is amazing! Her love for animals shines through. She is very responsive with communication, obviously understands animals and what they need and goes above an beyond to make them feel comfortable and secure. Thank you Tiffany for taking such good care of Finley!”


12. Erin C.

“Erin did a great job checking on my kitty and was very sweet in spending time with her and giving her attention.”


13. Alessia R.


“Don’t let the limited reviews scare you away! She watched both of my dogs for a week. She was on time, sent great pictures, monitored food intake and was quick to respond. Hope to have her watch the doggies again!”


14. Marybeth F.

“***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.”


15. Angela L.

“Angela was excellent, my cat Nene was well cared for, and I would highly reccomend her for anyone looking for a cat sitter. Thank you for taking care of Nene!”


16. Anna M.

“Anna came in and saved the day for a last minute visit, highly recommended”


17. Julia D.
“Julia is an exceptional dog sitter and walker! Her love for animals, and reliability are unmatched. She goes above and beyond to ensure pets feel safe and loved. I highly recommend her and so would my dog!”


18. Kaitlyn Z.

“Kaitlyn took such good care of our babies on a last minute booking!! This was our first time using Rover & we are very pleased. She was kind, courteous, & made sure to send lots of photo updates! We would definitely recommend her & will definitely be booking her again😊”


19. Ethan S.
“Firstly I would like to say thank you Ethan for caring for my babies. It was my first experience with having a dog sitter and you did a great job, both dogs came back happy and didn’t seemed to want to leave while picking them up. Thank you for being patient with Angel and understanding her, I would recommend you to anyone who’s looking for a dog sitter.”




20. Molly D.

“Molly was fantastic on time quick to respond and most of all our pup Pumpkin LOVES her. We definately will be using her again when we can't take our furry baby with us. her again”
