“Cheyenne was friendly and professional. She sent communication about our kittens and her visit which made us feel much better about being away. Thank you very much!”
“Lidia was absolutely amazing with my dog Tango! Super sweet, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. She made sure he got all his potty breaks and was very flexible and accommodating when I had to add an extra drop-in. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Aimee was the perfect sitter for Salem. She made sure he was well taken care of. She updated us everyday with pictures. I am very stressed when I know he has to be left alone but this trip i knew he was in very good hands. Definitely recommend.”
“James' professionalism shines through his attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile. His genuine connection with animals was evident when Geronimo, typically shy around strangers, warmed up to James enough to forgo his usual under-the-bed hideout. The daily updates reassured me that Beowulf and Geronimo were receiving ample attention, exercise, and care. James' excellent communication skills kept me informed and at ease throughout my absence. Perhaps the most valuable aspect of James' service was the peace of mind he provided. I could fully enjoy my time away, confident in Beowulf and Geronimo's well-being and my home's security. For anyone in need of a dependable, compassionate drop-in dog sitter, James comes with my highest recommendation. We're already looking forward to booking his services for our next trip!”
“I’ve had Jaclyn take care of my dogs a few times now and she always sends me updates on the dogs and sends me pictures, assuring me not to worry while I’m away. I highly recommend her services!”
“Carly is great with our dogs. She always provides me with details and pictures of her drop in visits, which puts me at ease about our elder dog and our Labrador with epilepsy. She is always responsive very and flexible with our ever changing needs. We are so glad we found her!”
“Allison is fantastic! She’s super patient, reliable, and Eclipse absolutely adores her. I always feel at ease knowing my pup is in such loving hands. Lots of playtime and care every visit—highly recommend!”
“My cats loved Melissa. One of my cats is diabetic, so it is very important his routine is the same every day. I appreciated getting the photos and updates on his eating habits while I was gone. She even managed to win over my elderly cat who doesn’t like meeting new people. I hope I’ll be able to engage her services again for my next vacation.”
“Angela was so sweet and was great with my pair of dogs!!! My girl can sometimes be nervous around people but she went right up to Angela for scritches during the meet and greet which says a lot about her :)”
“When Sophie , CoCo and I first met Katherine we knew immediately that the girls were in great hands. The moment we met Katherine we knew she loves dogs and that is really important. Wayne and I went on a vacation with no worries at all . We would highly recommend Katherine for your next dog sitter. We were completely satisfied with Katherine’s care of our doggies!”
“Jayla did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away! She was timely for her 2x a day visit and patient with a kitty who likes to try to get out of her daily medication. We'll absolutely be using Jayla again!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl, having cats since a toddler. When my sister got her first dog, I watched after her a lot since I was studying from home and she was a puppy who we knew needed more often potty breaks and care. When she got her next 2 puppies, I also watched after them while they were little ones. I have cared for dogs who take medication and dogs who need a little more TLC. Ultimately, I have experience with dogs and cats and love both so much. My best friend is a vet and her husband an emergency vet (sadly they're in Georgia), but its comforting knowing I have them in my pocket for any emergencies. I currently work M-F but am off on the weekends. I have finished my board exams and awaiting the beginning of residency, so I am looking for something to do on the weekends I enjoy, and what better way to do that than caring for adorable animals! I care for animals in their own home. I’m very respectful of other’s belongings and find that animals tend to do better when they are in their normal surroundings.
About: I have gained so much experience with animals over the years that I have been jokingly nicknamed “the animal whisperer” and Snow White. I have had dogs and a cat my whole life, as well as watching friends, coworkers, family members and networks pets. I also have experience in animal husbandry & care from my last research position. I accept all furry friends and have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, and rodents! I currently work full time, approximately 6am-5pm (including my commute), so I am available any day after 5 for a dinner time walk or an overnight stay if pups or cats are okay being left alone for a bit. Please keep this in mind, especially regarding seniors or puppies. If your babies are used to that then I am totally fine with it. On weekends, however, I am available any time! I am able to follow any instructions given from the client and do have experience giving medication as well. I am attentive, will provide updates, always looking out for their well-being, and loving. I will provide the most comfortable & approachable aura that I can to make all fur-babies feel safe 💕
“Jaeda Y. Was very responsible and kind with my two 100+ lbs fur babies! She took excellent pictures daily which I totally enjoyed receiving! Thanks a bunch Jaeda. I’ll be looking to book her again on my next trip.”
“Rebeccah was excellent! She asked really great questions with our meet and greet to ensure she understood Phoebe’s needs and wants. The Rover cards were detailed and gave me comfort to know she was in good hands. Will definitely book with Rebeccah in the future.”

Lidia was AWESOME! She gave me detailed updates and sent me lots of pictures throughout my trip which made me feel at ease leaving my kitties behind. I highly recommend using Lidia, she is well rounded and has experience with all animals. I will 100% be using her in the future if she has availability!
I can't say enough great things about Cheyenne! From start to finish, she was absolutely incredible. Her communication skills were top-notch—clear, prompt, and thoughtful throughout the whole process. She arrived right on time for both the meet-and-greet and her visit with my kitties, which I really appreciated. Not only is Cheyenne professional, but she's also warm, friendly, and instantly made my cats feel comfortable. They actually went up to her—something that's super rare for them with a stranger! I felt completely at ease knowing my babies were in such good hands. 10/10, I’ll definitely be booking Cheyenne again!
Madelaine was kind and professional, followed instructions well, and communicated effectively. We are so thankful she was able to accommodate our schedule with minimal notice. Our puppy was able to make a new friend while we were out for the day and still got his afternoon ball time in.
There are not enough words to express my gratitude for Sabrina, Ryan, and their little boy for always making sure our senior pups are well taking care of. This time around our pups had some tummy issues and they kept us informed and updated. Although we felt awful for the messes they’ve had to clean up, they never complained or made us feel bad about it. They will always be our first pick when we are out of town!!
Steffi did a great job staying in contact, sending photos and reporting any issues or minor concerns. She even won over our difficult child and was able to engage in play with all of them. Overall she made our vacation better with peace of mind the dogs were in great hands!
Hiromi took great care of my 2 elderly cats over the holidays! She is very sweet and my cats were quick to warm up to her. My apartment building isn’t the easiest to get into and navigate and I appreciated how patient she was and flexible with her time. I definitely recommend her services!
Jazmin was fantastic taking care of my two cats Kate and Bella. It was helpful that Jazmin was familiar with the litter system I used. She took such good care of my cats as if they were her own. I highly recommend Jazmin to care for your cat(s). She clearly loves them and takes great care of them. Thank you Jazmin, for the loving care you provided Kate and Bella. I will definitely use you again in the future!
This was our first time using rover and both the dog and I were nervous but Amanda made it easy. We did some meets beforehand and I think that really helped us. Amanda was very communicative and I’m so appreciative of that. Even though she was only there for the dog, she was also kind to the cats and even included them in the photos! We hope she’ll have us back if needed. 🖤🐾
