“Alison was amazing! My cat, Bourbon, is extremely shy and doesn’t do well with new people, but came out to see her the first time he met her. Alison showed up when she said she would.”
“Absolutely wonderful! Victoria communicated well, provided lots of photos and my cat adores her! I was nervous as this was my first time using Rover, but Victoria put me at ease and made sure my fur baby was well cared for. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I have had and cared for pets my entire life. Highly experienced with dogs and cats from puppy/kittens to seniors. I am comfortable enough with all animals that with some instruction I can care for anything. Experience in administering medication, even with cats. Patient with all animal personalities. I am very detail oriented and thorough. Reliable and great with instructions. I love animals and since semi-retiring I thought it would be nice to spend time caring for them when owners are on vacation or just need a little extra help. I practice reward based motivation. Semi-retired with plenty of time to play with and care for your animals. Happy to care for in home or take for walks. I can do multiple drop-ins a day. I am very good with instructions and will abide by any house rules and needs required for your pet. Experience house and pet sitting prior to joining Rover.
“Lexi is very responsible and respectful of our home whenever she comes to check up on our pets. They feel comfortable around her and look forward to seeing her when we away from home. I will definitely continue to use her services and recommend her to anyone that needs their pets looked after.”
About: I am very patient with animals, whether it be a puppy potty training, one with special needs or seniors. You can trust that they are very well loved in your absence. I only work part time so I have a lot of availability. I can just drop in or I can take them for walks and give them quality time. If cared for in my home, you can trust that your pet is well taken care of. I have a 6 ft privacy fence, BIG back yard and a doggy pool if they like to play in water. I also have orthopedic beds in 2 seperate built in dog creates.
“Leah was so great with my two cats! I went out of town for two weeks, and she was very attentive and caring while I was gone. One of my cats has new health issues, but I never worried about them. She was always great about sending photos and updates every day, so I could see what they were up to as well. I'd definitely have her watch my cats again, and would definitely recommend her!”
“Darcie was very sweet with my cat! I booked her on shorter notice because my first plans fell through, and she was really flexible with her time. My cat is a bit feisty, and they got along so well! I would definitely rebook Darcie.”

About: I’ve taken care of fur babies for as long as I can remember. I have also volunteered at the shelter. I currently have 1 dog and 7 cats of my own that I rescued and adore. Animals have a special place in my heart. I currently work a full time job but now that my children are grown I have evening time Monday-Friday after 5:00pm and every weekend open. I can provide any and all necessary care for your pet. Feeding/watering, litter cleaning, play time, walks and administering medication if needed. I would care for them as if they were my own.
About: My husband and I love dogs. My two daughters also love dogs. We live in the country and have a big yard with two small dogs. I am a home maker who homeschools my children and am at home most of the time. Caring for the dogs will be part of my daughters homeschooling as they may get into the pet / vet profession one day. My husband works in ministry with a flexible schedule, which will allow him to help sometimes too. We also need the extra income to help save money for our daughter's education. This will be a good experience for the whole family and will keep our girls busy with something productive to do and get them to go out doors as opposed to watching television.

Regina I.
“Gina is an AVID animal lover. There is no one I would call besides her. She has watched our cats, bunnies, chickens, and dogs. I can always count on her when I am going out of town to keep my updated without me ever having to worry. She sends pictures of their daily activities and sometimes funny little stories. I know my animals are loved in her care especially when my cats actually lay in her lap. If you would like a vacation away without worrying about your fur babies being taken care of Regina is definitely the person to call.”

Loida K.
“I have known Loida a little over five years now. She has a family of six which includes their two dogs. For years Loida has owned or taken care of multiple dogs. She has willingly taken care of family and friends' dogs; sometimes overnight. Loida knows a lot about dogs. She can identify mort mixes by breed and tell you certain traits and characteristics of others. Again, she's very passionate about people and pets. She'll respect you enough to treat your pet like her own. I would trust Loida to care for my dog anytime. Plus she has two assistants (daughters) to lend a helping hand at all times... So, do not doubt, but check her out! ? J. T.”
