“Theo is a happy camper thanks to Autumn! I appreciate her attentiveness to all the quirks of my goofy and loving reactive dog. Thank you, Autumn!”
“Took wonderful care of my kitty! I felt comfortable with them giving mojo his daily medication because of their vet experience, and it seemed to go well. Mojo seemed happy and cared for, and the daily “rover cards” were detailed :)”
“Lizz was great! She gave us regular updates and made sure our kitty swallowed her pills (never an easy task). She communicated well and showed up right on time. I would happily book her again!”
“Emily did a great job and was very accommodating for my short notice schedule change. Everything went smoothly and I was worry free while I was gone. My pup was in excellent hands!”
“Kat checked on my dog, Rosie, twice while I was at work! Rosie is recovering from knee surgery and needed extra care, and Kat was very understanding and accommodating. Kat followed the care instructions, took pictures, and I felt very comfortable leaving Rosie in their care!”
“Meghan did great with our cats. We really appreciate her dealing with their cat shenanigans and inevitable messes! She left our home clean and fulfilled all of our requests. Thank you Meghan!”
“My dog has anxiety and is incredibly nervous around new people, Jeff was diligent and asked to get a separate earlier visit to meet my dog before taking on the two and a half week series of visits I was booking for. He had a calm and reassuring presence my dog immediately took to. He spent the visit learning her habits and how she likes to play and it made me comfortable with the time I would be gone. He took her on varied walks and sent photos that captured every facet of her. He even made a compilation video at the end of his visits showing their time together. I cannot recommend Jeff enough and he is the only dog sitter I would ever think of using again for such a long series of visits.”
“Katherine was great! She went above and beyond keeping my kitties comfortable while I was away. Very punctual, detail-oriented, and the level of communication was excellent.”
“Deanna was great with my cat Henry! I loved her photos and appreciated the many updates while I was away. I could tell she really cared for him and I was glad to have someone so compassionate checking up on him. Plus Henry definitely liked her too! This was my first time using Rover and I’d strongly recommend Deanna and hope to use her again for future travel!”
“Anna has taken care of our cats and dog several times now, and is always kind, responsive, and thorough. I can confidently leave my home knowing she is giving our animals the attention and care they need and deserve. Thank you so much!”
“Maddy is so fantastic. She always goes above and beyond in caring for my critters, and you can tell how much she loves spending time with them. She provides great, consistent communication and always takes fun photos. I highly recommend using Maddy for your pet care :)”
“My sweet baby was in good hands with Sonja. Got plenty of pictures and a detailed rundown of everything they did together. Would absolutely book again 10/10”
“Willow is great! Very attentive to all my critters' needs. Would definitely have her be their nanny again.”
About: My pet care experience began when I joined a humane society volunteer program where I worked for 6 years and progressed to a lead position. Later, I worked at a doggy daycare and overnight pet hotel. There I worked with specific dog’s needs and care as well as managed a group of up to 60 free-roaming dogs (yes, it was as amazing as it sounds) I have worked as a pet sitter and dog walker for most of my life, and I have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have also worked with horses for most of my life and in the summers I care for horses on a large farm. They are pretty much a bunch of big, funny, puppies. I am formally trained in: -Dog first aide and CPR -Dog, cat, and small animal body language and care -Dog Bathing (I have access to a pet bathing station) -Basic obedience training I am currently a student working a part-time job. Being in my last year at school, most of my work is independent and done from home. I’m looking to fill some of that free time working with some cute pets! While I do have a good foundation in general pet care, pet safety, and dog behavior, I prioritize the individual needs of the dog. I may have experience with many pets but no one knows your dog better than you. Care, to me, is about open communication and making sure your pup is happy!
About: From puppy to senior care I have over 20 years of experience living and loving with dogs. Exercise, pet health and safety are always my priorities. I’m currently working part time and will have lots of time to play with your animals! Daily walks and so much love is always welcome I can easily crate your dog if needed (you supply crate). I have a big open yard with lots of space to play in a safe space
“I hired Natalie for seven visits to attend to my cat while I was gone for a long weekend. She was on time for each visits and sent me photographs of my cat Grey Cloud when she completed a half hour with him. He was fed and his litter box scooped as I instructed. This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and it was well worth it.”
“Flexible with our schedule. Left us some adorable pictures of our kitty.”
“Flannery is the best!! I always feel OK being away from my dear kitty when Flannery is there to watch her!! Thank you so much Flannery for your loving care!!”
“Stone was terrific!! The dogs immediately loved her from the first time they met her. We never worried about them in her care. She even took them for walks! She went above and beyond. We will definitely have her back again!”

14. Stella B.
“Stella is a fantastic, responsible, and flexible dog sitter and walker. Our dog is so comfortable with Stella and loves spending time with her that I think she (our dog) is sad when we come home and Stella has to leave! Stella is very knowledgeable about animal care and has helped us several times with informing us on how best to clip nails, how to train our dog to walk better on a leash and what things we should avoid feeding her to keep her healthy and happy. It is so stressful to find someone you trust to stay with your little furry family member and I feel 1000% confident and comfortable every single time Stella is with our pup, which has been many times over the last 6 years. I know that when our pup is with Stella, she is getting so much love, care, and having such a fun time. 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend.”
