“Jessica was terrific with my two kitties.. She is an excellent communicator and sent me pictures every day so I would miss them less. I highly recommend Jessica to care for your fur babies.”


About: I have had cats throughout my 25 years of life. My family got their first dog in 2015; however, my grandparents have had dogs since 2012. I have given dogs and cats baths; as well as clipped their nails. I have dog sat for two family's for about 6 years. While I am not a certified trainer, I have taught my family dog to sit, stay/wait, lay down, touch my hand on command, and even to press buttons! I have open availability Monday through Fridays. On the weekends I run my own business and will have limited availability but will accept offers as they come. On Sundays, I volunteer at a cat rescue in the mornings. I treat all pets with caution, I do not want to make them uncomfortable! I let the animal approach me first. If the animal appears to be uncomfortable but gentle, I will sit on the floor at their level and allow them to smell me first.
“Definitely one of the best Rovers helpers I have met. Natalie did an amazing job taking care of Mrs. Mills. I loved the constant communication with recurrent notes and multiple daily pictures. She took care of Mrs. Mills and also cleaned up after her. I’m pretty sure we will be sure to have her come back to take care of Mrs. Mills again.”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and am well-versed in taking care of them. I love taking my dog on walks and playing fetch! I am very patient and kind, especially with animals. I am a student so especially during the summer my schedule is pretty wide open. My nights are usually free and most times during the day as well. My dog gets fed morning and night with treats throughout the day to supplement. In our home, we love lick mats, popsicles, and anything involving enrichment!

“Ellen is great. She is very reliable and gives me piece of mind when I'm away from my pets. She does lots of extras also, like getting the mail and watering plants. Thanks Ellen!”

“Maja is a great rover who leaves detailed notes and pictures. She always makes sure my kitties have the best care and that their area is clean. She reaches out with questions and strives to give the best care. I highly recommend that you use Maja for cat sitting.”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl. I have years of experience with dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and turtles. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets. This includes feeding, watering, bathing, administering medications, walking, and playing with your pet. I gave lots of experience with senior dogs and dogs with disabilities. I have a 6 ft privacy fence and a playful gentle dog to keep your pet entertained. There is plenty of space in my home for your pet rome and play. The dog park is in walking distance and we go for walks daily. Our home can be a home away from home for your beloved pet. I am currently working but I have plenty of free time in the afternoon, evening, weekends, and during holidays. I am an elementary teacher and if I’m not working I am at home with my son and dog. I have a fully fenced in yard that consists of a 6 ft privacy fence. I will feed, water, and bathe them as needed. I can administer medications and any individual healthcare as needed. I can take daily walks and even trips to the dog park. I have experience with all sizes and different breeds.
“Ethan took amazing care of my two cats while I was on a 2 week vacation! He updated me after each drop-in and I loved seeing the photos he took. My kitties and I recommend!!”

“Stacy did a great job with the pups- they seemed happy when I got home and included a bonus pic of my geriatric kitty! Also answered my panicked last minute text when I was worried I might have left something on. Great job’n”


About: I have been professionally pet sitting since I was in high school! I've cared for everything from small professional show dogs to large family dogs and cats. I currently have no pets of my own, so I have plenty of love to give your fur balls while working with them! I am currently between jobs, so your pets can have my full-time attention! I go to karaoke pretty religiously on Tuesday nights, but otherwise can offer extreme flexibility on pet care, whether that's during the day, dropping in for walks, meals, and bathroom breaks, or overnight stays! Due to restrictions with my landlord I do not currently care for pets in my own home. While in your home I strive to leave everything in the same or better shape than I found it! I love spending time with animals, so even if your pet is crate trained you can expect them to be out playing with me during my entire visit unless you specify otherwise!
“Our kitties loved her! They were worn out with catnip, and treats, and the laser pointer so much, they looked a little disappointed when we came home. We would definitely hire her again. Thanks so much Ellie!”

“Ryan was great! Super communicative, followed the dog specific instructions for both pups and gave info on how they both were and what they did! I picked him last minute for 2 days of drop ins and would use him again without question!”

“Lily saved my kitty after using a referred rover person outside of the rover ap. He missed day 1, showed up day 2 after i texted late afternoon how is my cat. Then he shows up immediately and stayed 15 minutes. I will never hire someone outside the ap again unless it’s a friend. I highly recommend Lily. She showed up as scheduled and I could tell just by the chair position. She spent the hour not just at my home but with my cat. Thank you Lily, I will be requesting your services again.”


About: I started my own dog walking business at age 9 and have since expanded to pet sitting. I grew up with a dog in the house and have always had a passion for taking care of animals. My friends and family trust me to watch their pets when they are gone, so you can rest assured that your pets will be safe and happy with me! I currently work 6 hours a day, 5 days a week with Fridays, Saturdays and most holidays off. I love pet sit during the hours in which I'm not at work. I am energetic and love to play with animals. I can bring toys and treats when applicable. I am also committed to staying on top of your pet's schedule. I also send photos and videos of your pets and keep you updated daily on how they are doing!

About: I have had pets since I was a child. I have rescue cats and doggos. My dog and cat are seniors. Every pet deserves a healthy and loving home. I have experience administering medication as one of my rescues was epileptic and needed daily meds and eye drops. I love animals and will always advocate for those precious innocent souls that don’t have a voice. I work part time as an RBT. Some days I will be free full time due to client cancellations. Other than that I am free after 3:00 pm. There is a space for doggies to walk around. No fence so they will stay on a leash and always be attended to and watched. There is a large park across the street that is perfect for walks and large trees to provide plenty of shade.
About: You can trust that I will take care of your animals just like my own. They will love me just as much as they love you. If you need to leave them behind, then no worries. I work full time but have time to come take care of your animals. I deliver for a third party Amazon company that doesn't start until 11am. I treat all animals the same, with love and compassion. If needed, I can come meet them beforehand to get them comfortable with seeing me before being stuck with them without you there.
About: Hi, i’m Brooke! For the last 6 years i’ve worked as a Veterinary Assistant for an Emergency Vet Care facility and before that I worked at an animal boarding facility and at the Humane Society. I love animals of all kinds. I currently have 3 cats, Paisley, Beatrice and Oliana in my home right now but I previously have had a dog and 2 mice as well! I currently offer boarding, housesitting, walks and drops ins. I do not offer boarding for cats at my house as I think it is too stressful for all cats involved. Feel free to reach out with any questions! Currently I work overnights 3 nights a week 7p-7am but I do have the ability to bring animals to work with me to be let out throughout the night as needed! I have a fenced in yard and animals are allowed on the furniture. I can accommodate crates if needed for animals as well. I am comfortable having dogs in my home but have 2 cats in my home currently so dogs need to be cat friendly.

Jessica was wonderful with my 2 cats! She is super friendly and my cats walked right up to her to say hi. She sends detailed updates with lots of pictures. She is super communicative which is good for this anxious cat mom! I plan to use her again when traveling in the future.
