“I felt that I was in such good hands leaving all my critters to Marissa’s care! I had asked her to care for our Jack Russel Terrier, our Russian tortoise, seven chickens and seven goats. She handled them all with ease and even picked up extra vegetables for our tortoise while we were gone. I would definitely ask Marissa to come help us again!”

Pets are important family members too!! I know it’s nerve wracking leaving behind a member of your family and I strive to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible! I will make sure your pet gets plenty of love and activity while you’re away and will keep you updated every step of the way.

“Kai was amazing with our pets! We needed care for our dogs, but didn’t want to book a sitter for our cats because they’re sometimes reclusive and had all the food/water/care they needed set aside in a different room anyway. Kai didn’t mind the cats being here at all and actually offered to give them treats when she came by to care for the dogs. She even took our dogs for an unscheduled walk (after asking permission!) so they could get out, sniff around, and stretch their legs! It’s clear that Kai cares about the pets she watches. As if all of this isn’t enough, Kai also brought in all of the packages from our porch that arrived while we were gone (we just moved, so there was a lot)! I would absolutely book with Kai again. 10/10 recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, amazing Rover!”


“Meghan was so good with our senior guy!!! I can’t say enough about how attentive, timely, and caring she was! My husband and I made last minute plans, and were so thankful that she was able to help us out. Our senior guy really warmed up to her quickly, and so did our other two doggos! Even though she was only booked for our little guy, it really seemed like she checked in on all of our babies at home, and for that we’re appreciative. If you’re looking for a caring and dependable sitter, Meghan is your gal! We’ll definitely be booking with her again😊”


“This was our first time leaving our dog with someone unfamiliar to us, and Allie was EXCELLENT!! The rover cards and pictures were very detailed, she went above and beyond with walks, and we felt our dog was very cared for in real time. She also was fantastic with communication before, during, and after visits and setting up the appointments. First time with Rover, and Allie was a welcome first experience. Definitely recommend 10/10 for anyone hesitant with having a new dog sitter.”


“I am so thankful I found Rover. Amanda was so dependable and treated my cats very well. This was the first time I ever left my cats. It was because of Amanda that I was able to enjoy my vacation and not worry about my precious babies at home. Thank you Rover and thank you Amanda!! ♡♡♡”



“Thank you Erin for helping out with our dogs, I am sure they enjoyed your company and your communication was much appreciated.”

About: I have had the joy of living with various pets throughout my entire life including cats, dogs, and small animals. Caring for animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities has taught me how to meet each pet’s unique needs and provide them with the attention and care they deserve. I am very passionate about the wellbeing of animals overall, and I believe every animal and every pet deserves to feel love and compassion. I am currently working part-time, and I’m keeping my week open to dedicate more time to pet sitting. My part-time work schedule gives me the flexibility to focus on pet sitting, allowing me to prioritize long walks, playtime, and quality attention for each pet. Pet care is an essential part of my daily life, and I love creating meaningful connections with animals. I currently have a rabbit, and being a rabbit owner has taught me so much about the joys and challenges of caring for animals with unique personalities. When caring for pets in a clients home I aim to ensure the animal is as stress free and cozy as possible. I will follow the animals routine, and give them plenty of love and attention. I will keep the space clean and organized, leaving everything as I found it. I want the animals to feel cared for and loved even if they might be missing their families.
