About: I pet sat dogs when I was younger and cats for years. I have more time now and would love to give your babies a lot of attention. 🐶 😺 I currently work from home Sunday, Tues and Thursday, with a LOT of flexibility. I am available overnight 7 days per week with little notice and can adapt to your pets needs. I can care for pets in your home and follow your rules and your pets needs as directed. I'm an adult with a grown kiddo who also loves animals and can give extra attention! ❤️
“Terrance was able to step in at the last minute and come watch my pup for two days. He did a great job and was very responsive. On time. And a pleasure to have watching my dog. I’m definitely going to keep him as a contact for future bookings. Highly recommended.”

“Sarah did a great job with taking care of my pets. She followed all the instructions and really cared for them. She is dependable and very caring. So glad she is a rover for me and my pets!”

“Greg has done several drop ins including one at the very last minute. He is 100% reliable and I completely trust that he will be here when he says he will be here. The dogs appear comfortable and relaxed around him. Thank you Greg!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Lucas! He went above and beyond to make sure my cat was comfortable and cared for while I was gone. He sent updates every day, including photos, which really eased my mind. I definitely recommend him, and will be using his pet sitting services in the future.”

About: I have been caring for animals since my childhood and have several of my own. I am a veterinary assistant and am comfortable with animals of all ages and sizes, as well as with responsibilities such as administering medication, walks, special diets, etc. I work and go to school part time. I have the most freedom on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, but can also periodically check on your pet on the other days of the week. I can do overnights as well. I will work with your pets needs whether that is specific feeding times, a walking schedule, or other routines that you and your pet typically do.
“Leslie was so wonderful to my babies. I cannot praise her enough! She helped me when I was in a bind which will not be forgotten. She took pictures of her playing with them with frequent updates, as well. She is definitely worth 5 stars. If there was 6 stars, she would get them!”

“Angela is a delight. She spends a lot of time with each pet, doing things that make each one feel comfortable and seen. She even cozied up on the floor to make a newer member of the pet family feel like home. She also sends tons of pictures, which is great! I love seeing them being well taken care of. Definitely will ask to help again in the future.”

About: From loving my own corgi, to working at a doggy daycare and training sled dogs in Alaska, I have diverse experiences with animals and I’d love to share my love with your pets too! I work part time with a fairly flexible schedule so I’d love to fill my extra time with taking care of animals and more long walks!! I take my own dog on 2-3 walks per day and she would love to join your pets if they’re friendly! I am happy to accommodate any special needs for your pets.
“Brigit was prompt with communications, kind, knowledgeable, and my cat was happy when I returned home! I would call her again and suggest her to others.”

“Our cat really seem to enjoy having someone stop in and visit with him while we were out of town with family. Julie was very respectful of our home, always made sure our house was locked/alarmed when she left after the visit and treated our fur baby really well. She's very nice, a good communicator and was accommodating, not that we asked for a lot. She also agreed to water my plants on one of the visits during the week that we were gone. We even got adorable pictures of our cat on our Rover cards during her visits. We had a really reassuring experience having her as our pet sitter. We highly recommend her and will absolutely be contacting her for our next trip out of town.”
“Jessica was amazing! Every visit she spent quite a bit of time with Archer and sent 1-2 pictures each day, sometimes showing him eating and sometimes showing him getting cuddles. They clearly got along well, and he seemed happy and healthy when we returned. Jessica is quick to respond to texts, and even checked in with us on the last day to make sure we'd get back on time and Archer would be okay.”

About: I love taking care of anything from high energy puppies to a senior cat (and even chickens). If your dog runs laps I will run laps with them! Very attentive to whatever needs your pet may have and happy to nurture a furry friend. I have a very flexible schedule right now, so anytime may work for me. Just coordinate with me and we can find a time that fits! I love to walk dogs or stay at home with pets, and I’m happy to take care of any needs they may have such as needing medications or more play-time!
“Madelynne was very communicative and reliable in dropping in on our two very active dogs for a long weekend. She was professional and polite. She even helped sort out an issue with our auto cat feeder while we were away. We would definitely book her again.”
