“Very responsive and accommodating! Appreciated that she took the time to do a meet & greet beforehand so that I could make sure my dog would feel comfortable with her dogs. Sent lots of pictures and my little guy looked like he was being very well taken care of with lots of love, cuddles, and walks!”
“Shawna and Hannah were wonderful sitters for our dog. They kept her entertained and she made herself right at home with them. She loved it so much she didn’t want to leave when we picked her up! Will definitely be booking with them again, and would recommend them to anyone looking for communicative and reliable sitters.”
“Caitlin and family took great care of our two French bulldogs at her home while we were away on a family vacation. She was very patient and accommodating with the needs of our pups and helped them transition to being in a new environment. I received daily photos and videos of Buddy and Rocky on how they were doing. Overall, we were very pleased with the care that was given to our pups and will be using Caitlin for future family trips. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a caring, dependable and knowledgeable person to care for their pets.”
“Very nice family and sent lots of photos for only being there 1 day. Seems to have a good understanding of dog behavior. Their dog is very quiet and well behaved. Large fenced backyard with a big shade tree. I would recommend Aimee for dog sitting.”
“One of the best experiences I have had on Rover. They sent pictures of the dogs playing and having fun. They were even super accommodating when we were very late to pick up due to traffic issues. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Kat was great with our dog. She updates and pictures. Our dog got plenty of walks and attention. I think our dog preferred not having other animals around as he can be scared by other dogs. Would definitely book her again. Easy communication and drop off a d pick up.”
“Amanda’s communication was excellent and we discussed my dog’s feeding schedule and needs and she made sure to accommodate. I also received several cute photos during his stay. I could tell he was happy when I went to pick him up. Definitely recommend!”
“Susan is a very nice person and you can tell she really loves dogs . She was very good at communicating and sending photos during my dog’s stay . Susan’s husband Mark is also very good and a dog lover . My dog had a lot of fun with her dogs . I highly recommend her . She took really good care of my dog for the week he stayed .”
“Our dogs had a lovely stay! We really appreciated the updates the first 24 hours as it was the first time we had left our dogs behind while traveling. We were greatly reassured which allowed us to enjoy our trip better.”
“Nathan was amazing. Communication was wonderful. I could tell from photos that Wrigley was having a great time. Wrigley is skittish with new people, which concerned me. He warmed up pretty well at meet and greet. Not to the point he would let Nathan pet him, but he didn’t bark or growl at him. To me that was perfect. Nathan was patient and kind. I would recommend him to anyone in our area.”
“Our experience with Jamie was fantastic. This was our first time utilizing Rover services for our dog Ruby. Jamie sent pictures and updates each day. It was such a reassurance knowing Ruby was so well cared for and loved. I highly recommend Jamie!!”
“We think Erin is great and would book again. It’s nice knowing you can leave town and your pet is well taken care of. Erin sent us pictures of Winston while we were away and that was so nice because we sure missed our boy! When we got home Winston got to play with other pups and he loves that, I think he was sad he had to come home.”
“Eric was great with our girls! They were so happy and had such a good time while we were gone! Also 10 stars for his flexibility for drop off/pick up! It was a huge help when our flights were delayed coming back home! Will definitely be a repeating client!”
“My dog Dash loves going over to Rachel’s house to play with her dogs and of course to go see Rachel! She always makes sure that Dash gets enough play time and goes on plenty of walks. Dash also loves car rides and gets to tag along whenever she has quick errands to run, and he often gets spoiled with pup cups through the Starbucks drive-thru. With my permission and built trust, I have allowed her to take him anywhere to run errands, visit friends, and family. Thank you so much Rachel for taking care of Dash!”
“My two pups had a wonderful time with Ashley. They loved her backyard and snuggles! Her own pups were great about knowing when to give space and when to play with Billy and Lilly. We will definitely be back!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Michael was an amazing communicator from start to finish and clearly has a genuine love for animals. He treated our cats like his own, giving them so much care, attention, and affection that they quickly warmed up to him (which says a lot!). It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away knowing they were in such great hands. Coming home to happy, relaxed cats made all the difference. We would absolutely trust Michael to care for them again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a truly caring and reliable sitter.”

I have a Morkie who is the biggest lover on this planet. She is great with other animals and will keep them great company.

About: I've taken care of dogs specifically since I was like 5. Whether it was a friend's dog, a family members or my own. Cats I have taken care of since I was 8. Changing litter? Done. Walking dogs? Done. Training? I do that too! I actually trained my own service dog who has since retired. Feed and water? Of course! Gotta get the essentials. Following directions, I will follow how YOU want your pet(s) taken care of. I have dealt with chihuahuas to great Danes to dogs bigger than that! No animal is too small. I will pick up messes, play with them, train them if you want, and obviously feed and water them. I can even stay over night with a pet if needed! I know some pets need extra support when their humans are a away, and I understand that may mean me staying over night. I have two dogs and two cats. I take care of the two dogs on a daily basis. Cats? Not so much but I do help out when asked as they are not actually mine but my roommates. I take my dogs out at LEAST 3 times a day typically more in warmer weather. But I take them out at least once when I wake up, once after or before lunch, and once before bed after they've ate their dinner. My dogs have stomach issues and only eat once a day near dinner time for me. I get them out more often to play now that its warming up outside In my clients home, as I don't do boarding at my own home, I can bring my own dog if asked for a play buddy but I would like a copy or to see the vaccination records to be safe. I will make sure the animals get some time to play and have plenty of attention while I am there. I will make sure dogs get outside to potty on either the specified schedule from my client or on a schedule I am able to run, but they will get out as much as I can make happen. Cats I'll make sure get some play time, if you're the kind of cat person who let's their cat out on a catio or leash or trust your cat out on its own for a bit I can make those happen too. I will make sure they have fresh litter when needed/requested. I will make sure both cats and dogs have fresh water and food on a schedule determined by the owner or when its needing refilled/changed.
“Sage was a wonderful sitter! She was attentive to our pets and took care of playing, feeding and their litter boxes and other accidents. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, moving objects out of kitty reach and bonding with our animals by holding them and playing with them. She kept us updated daily with detailed notes and pictures. We would definitely have her watch our kitties again and would highly recommend to others! Thank you so much!”

“I’m so grateful I tried Rover and found Ashley! When Ashley came over for a meet and greet, Jasmine immediately loved her! She is so kind, loving, and a personable. Ashley took the time to get to know Jasmine and asked great clarifying questions. I absolutely loved receiving sweet updates and photos when I was gone! I was not worried the entirety of my trip because I knew she had it covered!! Ashley was even sweet enough to clean, wash the bedding, and vacuum without being asked. Ashley’s genuine love for animals and her strong communication skills make her the perfect sitter! I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m so thankful for her and will absolutely book her again!!!!”

“Myle was great at taking care of my dog! She made sure he was comfortable around her other dogs. Myla also kept me updated on how he was doing and sent lots of pics and videos of him throughout the day. Will definitely book with her again! Thank you again Myle!!”
“I have used Angie for in home drop ins and in home day care at her place. I had a senior dog and she took the time to learn his needs, and understands the personality of high strung crazy golden retriever. Also love getting the text and picture updates. She was very willing to help me out when I was in pinch also!”
“Our Maisey LOVED her time with Makenna and Ming. They were very responsive when I wanted to book with them and answered my questions quickly. You can tell that they really love their own dogs and really provide a safe and nurturing environment for all the puppies in their care. Thanks for taking such good care of Maisey!”
“Amanda (and her family!) is absolutely amazing! We have a young pup who is pretty shy and skiddish, and most days at drop off, she is leaping from my arms to get to Amanda! It is the most amazingly wonderful thing to see. She sends picture and videos throughout the day and my pup is always tuckered out after a day of play at her house. She is an amazing doggy-lover (and person!) - would recommend Amanda a million times over!”

“Shawna and Hannah were wonderful sitters for our dog. They kept her entertained and she made herself right at home with them. She loved it so much she didn’t want to leave when we picked her up! Will definitely be booking with them again, and would recommend them to anyone looking for communicative and reliable sitters.”
“Caitlin and family took great care of our two French bulldogs at her home while we were away on a family vacation. She was very patient and accommodating with the needs of our pups and helped them transition to being in a new environment. I received daily photos and videos of Buddy and Rocky on how they were doing. Overall, we were very pleased with the care that was given to our pups and will be using Caitlin for future family trips. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a caring, dependable and knowledgeable person to care for their pets.”
“Very nice family and sent lots of photos for only being there 1 day. Seems to have a good understanding of dog behavior. Their dog is very quiet and well behaved. Large fenced backyard with a big shade tree. I would recommend Aimee for dog sitting.”
“One of the best experiences I have had on Rover. They sent pictures of the dogs playing and having fun. They were even super accommodating when we were very late to pick up due to traffic issues. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Our dogs had a lovely stay! We really appreciated the updates the first 24 hours as it was the first time we had left our dogs behind while traveling. We were greatly reassured which allowed us to enjoy our trip better.”
“Nathan was amazing. Communication was wonderful. I could tell from photos that Wrigley was having a great time. Wrigley is skittish with new people, which concerned me. He warmed up pretty well at meet and greet. Not to the point he would let Nathan pet him, but he didn’t bark or growl at him. To me that was perfect. Nathan was patient and kind. I would recommend him to anyone in our area.”
“Our experience with Jamie was fantastic. This was our first time utilizing Rover services for our dog Ruby. Jamie sent pictures and updates each day. It was such a reassurance knowing Ruby was so well cared for and loved. I highly recommend Jamie!!”
“We think Erin is great and would book again. It’s nice knowing you can leave town and your pet is well taken care of. Erin sent us pictures of Winston while we were away and that was so nice because we sure missed our boy! When we got home Winston got to play with other pups and he loves that, I think he was sad he had to come home.”
“Eric was great with our girls! They were so happy and had such a good time while we were gone! Also 10 stars for his flexibility for drop off/pick up! It was a huge help when our flights were delayed coming back home! Will definitely be a repeating client!”
“My two pups had a wonderful time with Ashley. They loved her backyard and snuggles! Her own pups were great about knowing when to give space and when to play with Billy and Lilly. We will definitely be back!”

Growing up, we had quite a variety of pets. We had various tropical fishes, dogs, cats, turtles, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even snakes. I am a reliable, trustworthy, and detail oriented person. I will provide your loved one(s) with the best care while looking after them. You can contact me anytime for a Meet & Greet. I'm available for short & long-term care. My hours are very flexible because I work from home. This allows me to provide immediate care, lots of attention, and repeat help when needed. I believe that Communication is key for trust. Your pets safety and environment is my #1 priority. I'll regularly send updates with photos as well.
“Emily did an awesome job of taling care of Lucy. She sent me daily photos and text updates on how everything was going. Tgis was a cery short notice request and Emily took it all in stride and made it happen. We will use her again”
“Pam watched our Standard Poodle for 8 nights. We had an absolutely amazing experience! She was outstanding from start to finish, her communication was consistent and thoughtful, with daily updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind. Sansa was clearly so well cared for, she got daily walks, tons of attention, and was honestly spoiled in the best way. It was obvious she was treated like part of the family. Her home is beautiful and very well maintained, and you can truly tell she loves what she does. That kind of genuine care is hard to find. We will 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can fully trust with their pet.”
“I can't recommend Olivia enough! We were in town for a graduation and our Airbnb didn't allow pets. I needed to secure a boarding place for my little maltipoo ASAP. Olivia accommodated my schedule and need so well. I appreciated her taking my last minute request and keeping me updated with pictures/videos. My furbaby had a great time and my mind was at ease. You can count on Olivia!”
“Katrina and her family were wonderful! This was the first time my dog has stayed with someone other than family. He was pretty nervous at first and I could tell he didn’t want me to leave but they made him feel at home. Katrina sent me a picture to let me know he calmed down and warmed up to their house. I felt so relaxed knowing he was at a loving home. I definitely recommend Katrina and will definitely use her again when we leave town.”
