“Olivia did a great job of keeping me posted! Especially since she had to deal with my cranky cat . He is 3 years and has never been away from his mom!! There was a lot of hissing going on, and it wasn't Olivia ! Thank you Olivia for being so patient.”
“Nejra did an excellent job taking care of our cats. She was willing to come to our home to meet our cats so we could show her how we feed our diabetic one. Her drop in visits were 12 hours apart as we requested, including administering insulin each visit. She provided detail and photos twice a day and even a video of her petting. I highly recommend Nejra and we will be hiring her again!”
“Heidi was so wonderful to work with! She was great at communicating and while we were gone, our heater breaker flipped off and she quickly helped identify it and fix it. Our cat Pearl was well cared for while we were away and we would gladly book Heidi again!”
“Dominique did a wonderful job taking care of our cat. All of our requests for his care were fulfilled. He was happy and calm when we returned home. We will definitely be hiring Dominique in the future.”
“Lori took excellent care of our two cats 🐈 and one has diabetes which requires a shot twice a day. And she takes great pictures. We will definitely request her for next year's vacation.”
About: I’ve always had pets growing up- especially larger dogs and cats. I’m a true animal lover at heart and will treat your fur babies like my own! We pour into our three cats at home and strive to give them the best quality of life- they are our family after all. I know I’m newer to rover, so it’ll take time and reviews to build your trust. Let me prove to you the love I have for animals and the quality care I’ll provide :) My schedule is very flexible as I stay at home with our toddler! Just let me know what you need and I can accommodate! Daytime is better, but I’m open to evenings as well! Weekends are open :) In our home, we treat our 3 cats with unconditional love. We recently had one of our first cats pass away due to CHF. It was very trying decision to come to, but ultimately decided it was best to not let him suffer, no matter how much our hearts would break. Since then, we’ve tried implementing extra vitamins, better quality food, more play time, etc. into our other cats lives to hopefully combat any future health issues with them. I’m a huge animal lover and will treat your fur babies with as much love and care as my own.

About: I’m very attentive to details and love all fur babies. I believe in keeping animals on regular schedules for feeding and exercise. Your dog will be well loved and cared for at my house! I live on a farm with equines, so my schedule is built around their feeding and exercise, which means that I’m home most of the time. My dog (and yours) is inside the house, except when outside in the fenced area or on a leash while on a walk around our property each evening. Millie is our very active senior dog who is less than 20 pounds. She lost her older buddy a few years ago and would love a friend to hang out with. We have a very large fenced yard for them to play in, but they will be inside unless they want to play outside.
About: I have had pets my entire adult life, and I know how important it is to you to find the right person to take care of them while you’re away. I am committed to taking care of your pets like they’re my own, and I’m excited to provide lots of love and fun! I work from home, and my husband is a full time dad, so we’d be happy to spend time with your pets, go for walks as a family, and see to their every need! We have pet gates throughout the home, extra kennels if needed, and a fenced in yard. We are also comfortable giving medication orally or via injection if needed.

“As a neighbor of Lisa, we have had her care for our cats and rabbits when we have been out of town. She has been very attentive to the animals and followed the directions we provided. She has kept us informed as to how the animals are doing when caring for them. Lisa has dogs, cats and horses of her own and treats ours just like hers.I would highly recommend Lisa as an animal caregiver.”
Hayley & Zach K.
“I cannot recommend Hayley highly enough! She took care of my dogs while I was away, and I was absolutely blown away by the level of care, attention, and love she gave them. From the moment we met, it was clear that Hayley has a genuine passion for animals. She was incredibly responsible, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire time. My dogs were not only well-fed and exercised, but they were also happy and relaxed when I returned- something that speaks volumes about the comfort and trust they felt with her. Hayley went above and beyond, sending me regular updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Hayley is the one. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be reaching out again the next time I need a dog sitter!”
