“Erica was amazing and communicated with as while she took care of our fur babies. Definitely recommend and will be reaching out to her for our future sitting needs.”
“Monica was great. She sent daily pictures and kept me informed and answered any questions I had on how my cat was doing. I felt comfortable knowing my cat was being taken care of by her.”
“Margaret did a fine job looking after the house and cats. I felt secure and at peace while I was away . I would certainly call on Margaret again.”
“I recently had the pleasure of using Rachel as a dog sitter, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Rachel was incredibly attentive and caring, making sure my dog felt comfortable and loved while I was away. She provided regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. My dog seemed to have a great time and was very well taken care of. I HIGHLY recommend Rachel to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog/pet sitter! Will definitely be using her assistance again 🫶🏼 thank you, Rachel!”
“Lucy was awesome with Lola. It was very comforting to me to know that she was home being taken care of while I had to be away. I’ll never use a kennel again after our experience with Lucy! She’s a wonderful young lady, and will definitely contact her again in the future.”
“Elaine was great, kept us very well informed during the trip and did a great job of making us (and herself) feel comfortable with our 85 lb German Shepherd before the trip. She walked our dog once a day during a morning visit and visited in the evening. This was our first time using Rover or anyone besides a longtime neighbor/friend to watch our dog during a trip. We definitely preferred it to boarding, and it cost less too. We will use Elaine again if/when we need to.”
“Jesus was super friendly and our pups took to him right away. I received pictures daily and came back to 2 happy and safe dogs! Thank you Jesus will definitely see you again soon!”
“She arrived on time, stayed the appropriate amount of time, made us aware of her presence in and out of the house, and sent photos. When we got home, Nibbler seemed happy. We will be happy to work with her again.”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent, caring for animals is truly one of my greatest joys. I currently share my home with two lovable pups, and I’m also a proud grandparent to three grand-doggies and one grand-kitten—yes, it's a full and furry family! With years of personal experience and a genuine passion for animals, I bring both heart and hands-on knowledge to every walk and pet check-in. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, including senior dogs needing a little extra love—whether it’s administering medications, helping with mobility, or just providing that gentle, loving presence they deserve. Before diving into pet care full-time, I was an elementary school teacher, which means patience, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own—with kindness, care, and lots of tail wags! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! Currently, I am available for drop ins and walks two times per day. This summer, my schedule is far more open and could easily fit additional times, as needed. I would follow whatever directions/guidelines are provided for me so that your pet(s) routines are kept as close to what they are used to as possible.
“wonderful job once again. Second time I’ve used Alyssa and my cat Max has already started accepting her. He is normallyquite picky and usually afraid of everyone.”
“Valarie stepped in and really helped out when I needed a last minute change. I appreciated her approach to my elderly chihuahua and my dog really liked her.”
“We are so appreciate of Mindy’s great care while we were gone. Her experience and knowledge gave us true peace of mind and her communication about the visits was a wonderful bonus. We traveled home knowing everything was well - we found happy pets and a cleaner-than-necessary home! We will certainly use Mindy’s services again.”
“Melissa was absolutely FANTASTIC and will be the only person I entrust with my kitties in the future. Our kitten loved her, and even my at times any cats hung out with her. She checked in regularly and sent me tons of photos of my babies, and made sure that I felt safe and not worried at any times. Just an all around wonderful experience and I came home to happy, healthy kitties. ❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much Melissa!!”
About: I have raised almost 3 dogs now from puppy hood so I am very experienced with younger dogs. If your dogs are friendly I have my dog with me full time for them to play with. I am very patient and understanding and would feel honored to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible until your return. I can accommodate any breed big or small so be sure to choose myself when your in need of a walker or sitter. Pet care is one of the most important parts of my weekly routine. From taking care my own to my clients pets, I am a full time pet sitter so all of my work focus is on that. I have a comfortable home that is very pet friendly and other dogs of my own to keep them company. I can crate if needed just let me know what ever your pet would need best.
About: My whole life I have worked with animals from experience with my own pets, to working at shelters and animal sanctuaries, pet daycare and boarding with Animal Humane, and fostering pets with medical needs or are too young to be adopted. I work M-F 7am-3:30pm. I typically go home at lunch time so I can let your pet out for a mid-day potty break if needed. I live in a pet friendly apartment with hardwood floors just in case there’s any accidents. The neighborhood I live in is safe with nearby walking trails. I keep plenty of treats on hand and can work with your pets specific needs.
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and have a dog named Scrappy who inspired my passion for pet care. Through him, I’ve learned how to connect with dogs of all temperaments and understand their body language, needs, and routines. I have experience with basic puppy training (crate, potty, leash walking) as well as caring for senior dogs who need patience, gentle movement, and medication. I offer calm, one-on-one attention in a cozy environment that feels like home. Every dog I care for gets the same love and respect I give Scrappy. I just graduated high school, so I have lots of free time and a very flexible schedule! I work a part-time job with plenty of availability during the day, evenings, and weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I love spending time with animals, whether it’s morning walks, playtime breaks, or cozy evenings in. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to adjust to your dog’s needs and schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly space where dogs can feel safe and relaxed—no overcrowding, no chaos, just lots of love and attention. I’m careful with introductions, keep doors secure, and always supervise playtime. If I’m in your home, I follow your routines closely and treat your space with the same respect I give my own. I pay attention to details, give regular updates, and make sure your pup feels happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away.
“We officially hired David on rover and as always everything was great. The cats love him and were all so happy. Everything was taken care of properly and as asked. Can’t recommend enough. I also appreciate that there is no extra charge for having more than one cat. It’s never made sense to me that I have to pay someone coming into my home for the same half hour block of time more just because we have more than one pet. Thanks so much!”
About: I've taken care of animals since I was a kid. Friends and family have always asked me to watch them. I never had any issues. I am currently working part time so I am available a lot of the time. Evenings would be best for me, can do weekends also. I always watch the animals and don't leave them unsupervised. I will always go with what the animal wants to do. I won't push them.
“Celine did everything i asked, and my cat was well cared for. Celine was able to come at the same time every day to help keep everyone in schedule. We'll be happy to have Celine help us again!”
About: Hi! I’m 19 and have cared for dogs and cats since I was 5. I’ve helped with bathing, basic training, and often take dogs on mountain hikes and other adventures! I’m kind, responsible, and love animals of all sizes. I have lots of free time this summer and would love to keep your pet happy, active, and loved while you’re away! I have a flexible summer schedule, so I’m available for drop-ins, walks, or extended care throughout the week -I love making pets part of my daily routine! I live in a safe, gated apartment community with plenty of green space for walks. While I don’t have a yard, I make sure pets get lots of outdoor time with regular walks around the neighborhood or trips to nearby parks. Inside, they’ll have a cozy, clean space to relax, with plenty of attention, affection, and playtime.

She took care of our cat Cookie for a week and was amazing! She provides such thorough care, and always made sure to take pictures and send updates after every visit. Cookie was very comfortable with her and we knew she was in good hands during our vacation. We will definitely be having her back again next time! Thank you Alexandria!!

Rachel took great care of our three cats while we were away for 10 days. She communicated well, and got pictures of cats at each day she visited (except for our known shy guy). I have no hesitation booking with her again. Thank you.
Ceara unfortunately stepped into a lousy situation when she agreed to sit for our 3 cats. We had just had one die from illness and another was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. While the cat had antibiotics on board, she was still not urinating like a healthy cat. The cat is also afraid and anxious, so it was difficult to find her for a picture. We were worried sick, so Ceara asked if she should go back until she found the cat. It was late, so we told her to go next day. She did track down the cat who was obviously alive and scared, but we could at least relax for the duration of our stay away.
AC was amazing! Trusted her completely to care for my dog and have access to my home. She was sweet and our dog loved her! Thank you so much for taking care of Yoshi. :)
Amber is my go to! She’s reliable, great with communication, and she takes great care of my cat. Couldn’t be happier!
Savannah has watched our sweeties several times now while we were away and has done a great job each time. She is also great to work with. Highly recommended.
Summer is great with my pets! She is my go to sitter for drop ins. She takes excellent care and communication is great! Highly recommended
This is the second time Theresa has cared for our dogs and she is the best! She communicates and keeps us informed. Our dogs were happy when we came home and that tells me they were well taken care of. I highly recommend her.
Addie is great, personable, listens, and goes above and beyond! She’s taken care of my dog twice and I trust her more than most. Not to mention, she’s just a fun person to be around :) highly recommend working with her
wonderful job once again. Second time I’ve used Alyssa and my cat Max has already started accepting her. He is normallyquite picky and usually afraid of everyone.
Thabk you so much Alexa! I'm so glad my fur babies were comfortable with you. I will definitely keep you in my contacts for future sitting! She was great!
Jenifer is very good with my Dog Penny! Will continue to have her be part of my dogs life as long as she’s available.
Isabella was great with Maverick. Helped me out with a last minute add on booking as well, and gave me more updates than just the Rover card about how he was doing.
