1. Jazz B.

“Jazz was so very awesome. This was the first time we used Rover and she was a definite awesome choice for our cats. We had a video call before to discuss everything and make sure we both knew what was to be expected. I got a text and photos and video of her visit with the cats, so my mind was more at ease. We will definitely recommend and rebook Jazz 😊”


2. Sarah W.

“Sarah was wonderful! She treated our dogs so well and kept in touch throughout. The updates were great! As an anxious pet parent, it was very comforting to see what they were up to. I can’t thank her enough for treating our dogs like her own and being so kind.”

9. Rachael R.
About: I have been caring for animals most of my life. As both an animal lover and as a handler. I became a professional pet sitter after being recommended by colleagues that evolved into now clients who travel often. My gift is that I understand the unique emotional life of the animals which means maintaining a peaceful environment so they feel safe while away from you. I have administered medications as well as helped injured animals and pet sat geriatric pets up to the age of 17 as well. I am a writer and a fitness professional, I love to cook and be outdoors. My schedule is flexible and pet care is second nature for me. I do both in home and out of home pet care depending on the need and longevity of the sit. Prefer to house them myself because of the yard and dog friendly environment. I have experience with extended stays —30 plus days as well.


10. Perniall G.
“I had the opportunity to have both my pets to be cared for by Perniall. During his care both my pets(cat&puppy) were well fed and cared for. He was able to give the attention needed to my pup with attachment issues and maintain his regular routine that I’ve implemented at home. Pernaill always kept me updated and if anything happened he would contact me immediately, for example when my cat did not want to eat at first due to a change in environment since she has never left my home until then. He was able to get her to adapt and tended to her needs the best he could since my cat is a feisty one. Whenever I need someone to take care of my pets I’ll know that I can always count on Perniall!”


11. Brianna C.

“Brianna took fabulous care of my three boys! 🐈🐈🐈”


12. Kristin P.

“Kristen is wonderful with my German Shepard. Kristen treated her as if she was her own pet. I am very lucky to find a great Rover walker for my pet. I would definitely recommend her and use her services on the future!”


13. Lisa H.

“i cannot say enough good things about Lisa. She is always available when I need her, punctual and pleasant. I didn't mention dependable and trustworthy which is very important to me. My dogs love her!”


14. Kathy & Katrina S.

15. Reyna K.

“reyna was great with checking in on our dog while we were away. she was very patient with our nervous hazel and had great communication throughout the booking. we definitely recommend!”


16. Erica S.

“Erica has babysat our cat Domino in our home several times now. Domino is a cat that we took several months to rescue earlier this year. Consequently, she is shy and a bit skittish around new people. She bonded with Erica almost immediately! Erica has two cats of her own, so she knows a lot about them and their finicky nature. Erica has a warm and caring nature that comes across in the way that she communicates with Domino. She calls Domino her niece! Erica is fastidious with Domino’s litter box and feeds her twice daily. She sends us regular posts and updates regarding Domino’s antics. Erica spends time with Domino and plays with her. We miss Domino when we are gone, but never worry that she will be too lonely without us. We feel secure when we are away. We trust Erica with having the keys to our home. We have the utmost confidence that Erica will take great care of our fur baby.”


17. Meghan D.

“Meg was prompt, respectful, and took great care of our boy (who is a German Shepherd/Husky mix with a lot of energy)! We will definitely be reaching out to Meg soon with our future Rover needs!”

About: I have two German Shepherds of my own I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. As a dedicated dog lover with many years of experience, I understand that your pet is more than just an animal, they’re a beloved member of your family. I offer unique blend of care, qualifications and extras to ensure your furry friend will have a great time as you do while you’re away. I believe every dog is special, with their own quirks and needs. That’s why I offer tailored experiences based on your dog’s personality, age, and energy level. I provide the perfect balance of playtime, cuddles, and rest. I'm currently working part time and have plenty of time to care for your fur babies, play with them and meet all of their needs. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs. If at your home I will hang out, play and give your pups all the attention. If you need me to crate your dog or give medication I can do that too.


19. Tessa K.
About: I have had pets since I was born. Experience with all sized dogs as well as exotic pets! My personal dog is a pit bull named Izzy. Over the summer I work at Brookfield Zo! I am a student with lots of gaps in my schedule to come and take care of pets in my free time. I can always find time for care. I only care for pets on other homes because I am a student. Any specific instructions that the pet needs will be followed closely on a case by case basis.


20. Alexsis R.
About: My mothers has had multiple dogs for as long as I can remember. I love caring for animals in all situations. I’ve taken care of teeny tiny babies and huge old dogs as well. From super hyper- to the laziest of dogs. I am working part time mornings only and I have plenty of time to help you look after your babies. I’m home a majority of the time so this will be no problem. Plus I have my own fur baby that I’m taking care of anyway. I have a huge backyard that my dog loves to run around in( fenced of course). I also have a crate that I don’t use any longer but I can pull it out of storage if need be.
