“Rachel was amazing! She sent pictures and updates frequently, and she always responded quickly. She made me feel very comfortable using Rover for the first time. She really cared a lot about Mowgli’s comfort and well-being, as well as how I felt. Mowgli loved her and her dog. He got a lot of exercise, ate well, slept well, and seemed to have a great time. I highly recommend Rachel!!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner for nearly 30 years — from growing up with our family’s Border Collies and house cats, to raising my own Jack Russells throughout adulthood, to caring for two rescue kittens in college. I’m equally comfortable with dogs and cats of all personalities and needs. What sets me apart is the range of care I’ve provided. I’ve raised a Jack Russell puppy from the wild, zoomie-filled stage into a well-behaved, confident adult, so I’m patient, consistent, and great with puppies who need structure and gentle training. I’ve also cared for a 17-year-old senior dog during his end-of-life stage, which taught me how to support pets who need slower routines, medication, and close, intuitive attention. I fostered an entire litter of puppies and their mom from an overcrowded shelter, so I’m familiar with round-the-clock care, monitoring, and meeting shy or sensitive animals where they are. Between that and my own lifelong pet experience, I’ve worked with animals at every life stage and energy level. I’m single with plenty of free time, which means your pets get steady attention, affection, and a calm, reliable presence while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because of the flexibility I have in my career. I’m a real estate agent with a team beneath me, which means I create my own schedule and have other agents I can rely on if I’m ever occupied. That gives me plenty of space in my days for walks, check-ins, playtime, and consistent attention. I’ve actually considered getting another dog over the last couple of years, but I haven’t felt ready for the full-time commitment again. A friend suggested I join Rover as a way to support other pet owners in the community while still getting to pour my love, energy, and care into animals — and it’s the perfect fit. Your pets get someone who’s genuinely excited to spend time with them and has the availability to be fully present. I’m very affectionate and hands-on with the pets I care for — they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I genuinely love walking, so having a dog join me on my daily walks is the best part of my routine. Whether it’s a neighborhood stroll, a peaceful loop along the River Trail, or a fun outing to the Smelter dog park, I make sure pets get the activity and stimulation they need. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely so everything feels familiar and comforting. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, potty breaks, behavior changes, and whatever little rituals make each pet feel at ease. My goal is always to create a safe, loving, and engaging experience — whether they’re with me for a few hours or a few days.

“Matthew was wonderful, he kept us informed while our girl was in his care and she was so happy after what I believe she thought was a wonderful play date. Highly recommend him.”

About: I’m caring, dependable, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to give extra love and attention to puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra care. I’ll keep you updated and make sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m reliable and easy to work with, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. I keep pets safe, follow their normal routines, and pay close attention to their needs and behavior. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean and secure, and provide regular updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have former experience an Animal shelter technician as well as being a vet assistant. These jobs specialized in medical attention and care of dogs and cats. I currently babysit in the morning, nights and weekends are preferred but I’m willing to house sit as well as pet sit. I have a pretty flexible schedule. A typical pet sitting day is, feeding, letting the animal relieve themselves, walk or let out into the yard. Return later to feed and crate or if the animal has specific living accommodations.

“Chris showed up right when he said he would. Took photos and communicated when done. Couldn’t ask for anything more! We will have him over again.”
