“Kathy and Roy took fantastic care of our dog. Kathy sent 50 pictures during a 4 night stay with daily summary of what our dog did and how she behaved. Our dog really enjoyed the fenced in yard as well as Kathy’s pet friendly home. From the minute we met Kathy and Roy we knew they really cared about dogs as well as all animals. We had a wonderful experience and have already booked another stay for our dog.”
“Our boys had a great time at Marley’s! Everything went smoothly, dogs well taken care of, and sweet photo updates throughout the time we were away. Will absolutely book again when needed in the future :)”
“Cherolyn is wonderful with Simba- she is so happy to spend time with him and I know he gets so much love and attention from the updates she provides. He also comes home tired which is a great sign that he has lots of playtime when he is there. He also squeals with delight and excitement during the car ride when he realizes he is going there. I couldn’t ask for more in a sitter!”
“Michelle and Dane did an awesome job watching Barley while we were on a cruise. She sent updates that we would receive when we arrived in port. He enjoyed being able to snuggle with them.”
“Linda did an excellent job with Bogie. I booked last minute due to hurricane Milton messing up our original plans. We needed to get out to a wedding in MN. I was nervous leaving him with someone I just met, and Linda made me feel that all was fine with daily pictures and notes. Thank you. Jean P”
“Jake was treated as a member of the family! He snuggled with and was loved on by the kiddos. Suzanne gave him fresh air time in the yard, feed him and gave him healthy treats as we requested. He loved the family and time there. He really didn’t want to leave?. Hopefully she will keep Jake again. We highly recommend Suzanne!”
“Marcela was just awesome with Charlie. He is a very active run free kind of dog and she had him running. You could almost see him smiling in the videos she sent us of him! He had the time of his life. Would highly recommend her for your pet. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Haley has been my constant companion since my husband died. She is getting old and is anxious around other dogs so I needed a pet sitter without other dogs or young kids. Ray and his son took great care of Haley, sent me daily texts and photos, took her for walks and rides and I think that she enjoyed staying with them. I will definetely board Haley with Ray again.”
“Linda was a terrific nanny for Oscar! She responded very quickly to my request, had a prompt and positive meet and greet… and was kind and caring during Oscar’s stay. We received numerous pictures of his “making himself at home” and a happy reunion after 12 days. Highly recommended!”
“This was our dogs second stay with Britney. Luna loves staying there and Britney is fantastic. She sends pictures and videos along with messages on how everything is going. We have zero concerns leaving our dog there!”
“Barbara is amazing! She is very sweet kind and loving to my little pup. She is super accommodating and sent pictures and videos for me to see. Ciccio was very comfortable and happy. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again.”
“Angela was super sweet and I loved the photos of my cat while we were gone! My cat hasn’t ever stayed with a stranger for that long without us and he was a little mischievous with some hiding spots but Angela handled it very well by giving him his time to come around to her. Highly recommend!! :)”
“Paco had an amazing stay with Viktoryia and Coco! I got lots of updates and photos. Would happily leave Paco with them again. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”
“Robin is an absolute angel! She watched our dog Buddy for 10 days, and was amazing with him. Buddy is a rescue and a very nervous little guy, so Robin had us bring him over for short little stays with her prior to our vacation, so that Buddy could get adjusted to us leaving him for a period of time. She truly cares about the pets she watches, and I felt like she cared for Buddy as if he were her own. Robin kept us updated on how he was doing, and included photos. We missed Buddy terribly while we were away, but we knew he was in safe, capable, and loving hands. I would recommend Robin to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and would not hesitate to book with her again. Five stars is not enough! :)”
“We were very pleased with Anne’s care for our dog . Our dog had emergency surgery 3 weeks before the dog sitting. We reviewed the extras that Sophie would need - exercises, activity restrictions, special accommodations which Anne felt she could handle. She kept in touch with us via texts & photos. We returned home to a happy , healthy dog. We would definitely use Anne in the future!”

“We are so grateful to have found Nichole. Our two Cairn Terrier brothers like being home and we prefer having them there, especially compared to the stress and expense of taking them to a kennel. We had a great meet & greet with Nichole and our pups took to her immediately. This was a difficult trip for us (mom’s funeral), and getting updates and photos from Nichole has been very comforting. Her enthusiasm and professionalism have helped make this trip so much better and opened the door for future travels knowing our dogs are very well cared for. Thank you, Nichole, for being excellent.”
“Devon was incredible taking care of our cat! She spent so much extra time with her, and we had such peace of mind knowing that our cat is in great hands. It’s always scary leaving your pets in the care of someone else, but Devon made it so easy. Thank you Devon!!”

“Hailey was absolutely amazing! I hired her to watch my two cats while I was away on a long trip, and she did such a wonderful job. She checked in every day, kept me updated, and made sure my fur babies were happy and cared for. I came home to two very content cats and a spotless space. I’ll definitely be hiring Hailey again for future trips. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: I have both owned and taken care of cats for years. I absolutely love their personality and the love they give. I know cats can be a little skittish and I have the patience and understanding to make sure they feel comfortable.
About: Cats have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently own four cats and have experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and temperaments. Friends, family, and clients often call me a "cat whisperer" because I have a special ability to connect with shy, fearful, and independent cats, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every cat is unique and respect their individual needs, routines, and boundaries. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers a quieter approach, I provide patient, compassionate care tailored to their personality. I have experience with feeding, litter box maintenance, administering basic medications, playtime, companionship, and monitoring for signs of stress or illness. I genuinely love animals and treat every cat as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your feline family member feels secure, happy, and well cared for while you're away. 🐾❤️

“Linda did an excellent job with Bogie. I booked last minute due to hurricane Milton messing up our original plans. We needed to get out to a wedding in MN. I was nervous leaving him with someone I just met, and Linda made me feel that all was fine with daily pictures and notes. Thank you. Jean P”
“Jake was treated as a member of the family! He snuggled with and was loved on by the kiddos. Suzanne gave him fresh air time in the yard, feed him and gave him healthy treats as we requested. He loved the family and time there. He really didn’t want to leave?. Hopefully she will keep Jake again. We highly recommend Suzanne!”
“Marcela was just awesome with Charlie. He is a very active run free kind of dog and she had him running. You could almost see him smiling in the videos she sent us of him! He had the time of his life. Would highly recommend her for your pet. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Haley has been my constant companion since my husband died. She is getting old and is anxious around other dogs so I needed a pet sitter without other dogs or young kids. Ray and his son took great care of Haley, sent me daily texts and photos, took her for walks and rides and I think that she enjoyed staying with them. I will definetely board Haley with Ray again.”
“This was our dogs second stay with Britney. Luna loves staying there and Britney is fantastic. She sends pictures and videos along with messages on how everything is going. We have zero concerns leaving our dog there!”
“Barbara is amazing! She is very sweet kind and loving to my little pup. She is super accommodating and sent pictures and videos for me to see. Ciccio was very comfortable and happy. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again.”
“Marybeth and Russ were AMAZING!! We are so grateful we found them! This was only our second time using rover and I was a bit nervous, but Marybeth & Russ set up a meet and greet and stayed in touch with me during Kai’s stay.. which was so great and made me feel at ease! Marybeth & Russ played, walked and loved our fur baby - I don’t think Kai wanted to leave when we came to pick him up! We can’t wait to have Marybeth & Russ take care of Kai next time!”
“Heather took great care of our goldendoodle, Biscuit, who enjoyed her dogs, as well as her pool! Biscuit enjoyed swimming with “Leo” and was happy to be able to sleep with Heather. They took a walk in the neighborhood as well, which is always a good thing for Biscuit. Biscuit came home well exercised, and had some nice long naps. We look forward to booking with Heather again soon!”
“Thanks Morgan, We are Very happy with the care and attention you provided our pup. Now that he is home he seems a little bit lost as we cannot provide him with all the activity and interactions with other dogs he had while with you. Thank You for the great care you showed our dog Bean!!”
“Though it was the first time our pups stayed with Tara&Justin and we went on a pretty lengthy trip, Tara made the experience so comfortable! With almost daily pictures and updates our minds were put at ease. They cared for our pups like their own and I know both dogs cant wait for the next time they’ll be staying with Tara&her family again. Couldn't have asked for a better experience after being reunited with our two very happy and cared for pups!”
“Cindy and Steve were awesome! Our dog Theo had a great time staying with them, and they were very excited to spend the 5 days with him. We received many photos and updates about our pup, and he was in great spirits when we picked him up. We really appreciated the meet and greet that Cindy and Steve offered us especially since our dog is young and we were a little nervous about leaving him. They were so kind and sensitive to that and made sure that we knew he was having a great stay with them. Thank you Cindy and Steve!!”
“I am a first time Rover user and booked Kelly for our 11 year old hound mix, Bruno. She was a great communicator and kept me updated on how he was doing with texts and pictures. He did great and I am happy to use Kelly for our future trips.”
