“Jacob was wonderful! Our other dog recently passed away and we were worried about leaving him alone. Jacob gave him lots of attention, sent pictures several times a day and let us know how our puppy was doing. I highly recommend him!”
“Kelsey was wonderful - she took great care of our pups, was communicative with us and left our home looking great (no small feat after days of rain and two dogs in and out of a muddy backyard!) We recommend highly and will absolutely reach out to her the next time we need a sitter for our girls!”
“So grateful to be able to trust someone on such short notice. The dogs loved Melissa and she sent so many daily updates and photos. Our pups were so happy when we got home! 10/10 recommend and will 100% be booking again!”
“Amanda was a kind, caring and awesome petsitter. She took care of our dog like it was hers, she went above and beyond. I would recommend her for anyone who wants their pets taken care of with such kindness and we will be booking her very soon! She kept us updated daily with pictures and detailed info about how they spent their days together which was so cute to read and see. She was amazing! Don’t hesitate to make her your pick as your pet’s newest friend!!”
“Miray was respectful of our home and was very kind to take Sandy to her grooming appointment. It was lovely to know that Rudy the cat had been napping with Miray. Miray had taken care of the cat brushings, playtimes, complicated feedings and litter box.”
“this is my second time using bonnie, she is just absolutely wonderful & so thoughtful. Blue just adores her!! i cannot recommend her enough!!”
“This was our first Rover experience, and it was great! Ann was incredibly sweet with our puppy and communicated often with pictures and updates. We will definitely use her again!”

“Makayla was amazing! Our dog was pretty hesitant and unwelcoming at first but Makayla was really patient and they were best friends by the end of her stay. She was super responsive and great at sending video and photo updates!”
“Dejah was absolutely AMAZING! She came over to puppy sit while we were aware for the day. She stayed with our puppy and was incredible with her! Our puppy is 14 weeks old, and Dejah was able to help with potty training and puppy behaviors like biting and nipping! It was amazing! Dejah sent so many updates and pictures throughout the day, and you could tell our little pup was having the best time with her!!! I felt so comfortable leaving our puppy with her :) she was in great hands!”
“Don took great care of my girls! My younger dog can be pretty nervous around strangers, but she warmed up to him! Very conscientious, kept me updated with pics and detailed messages throughout my time away. Thanks, Don!”

“The day before leaving town, our senior dog turned up with a mystery paw injury-which meant he had trouble getting outside, eating, everything. Elena didn’t hesitate to take on the extra work and to give him (plus our other dog and cats) the TLC he needed to heal up. Everyone seemed happy and well cared for when we returned!”
“Katie is amazing! She is attentive, responsible, observant and loving. I hesitate to write a good review because we want her all to ourselves!!!”
“Rachel was amazing! She took such great care of our two dogs and cat—lots of love, walks, and attention. She sent frequent updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even handled our dog’s medication with no problem. We couldn’t have asked for a more attentive and caring sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer took great care of my dog. She provided updates and photos. Good communicator. Would definitely recommend her and will use her again.”
“After our regular pet sitter cancelled on us last minute, we were in a bind & decided to give Rover a try. We chose Amanda based on a couple reviews & her location. From the moment we met Amanda, she seemed very kind & caring. Our dog Charley took to her right away & sat down right next to her when they first met. Amanda sent us lots of pictures & updates which certainly helped put our minds at ease while away on vacation. Would definitely recommend Amanda & Rover to our friends & family.”
About: Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me—it’s a passion. I’ve had dogs, cats, hamsters, lizards, and fish, and I know firsthand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I specialize in earning the trust of nervous dogs, making sure senior pups feel comfortable, and helping puppies start off on the right paw. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or a reassuring presence while you’re away, I treat every pet like my own. My goal is simple: to make sure your furry (or scaly!) friend feels safe, happy, and loved—because when they’re happy, you can relax too! I’m currently working part time and can give all the love and attention to your fur babies from 9am-3pm. I am also available on the weekend anytime with 1 week notice! I offer pet sitting and walking services at your home. Keeping your pet in a familiar environment. I offer an initial meet and greet to make sure we are a great fit! I follow your routine as close as possible with lots of love and care. I am also a great communicator and will always provide updates and a summary of my visit.
About: I absolutely love dogs and all animals! I have extensive experience caring for them, including working in veterinary and boarding settings. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, and I’m also comfortable working with puppies and seniors, thanks to my hands-on experience with their specific needs. I am currently on break from school, so I have completely open availability to care for your pets. I am free weekdays and weekends to care for them. I have extensive experience dog and cat sitting at the owners home. I find people’s pets are more comfortable staying in their own home where it feels safe and familiar. I will always treat your home and pets with care and respect. I will do anything I need to make sure your pets are happy and comfortable.
