“Taylor is absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond, working to develop a relationship with my cat and ensuring she was comfortable in addition to giving her her medication.”

“As we have come to expect, Mya gave our cat Link professional, loving care. We are most grateful to be able to count on her and know that Link is in the best of hands so we can enjoy traveling! She always gives us detailed information and delightful photos of each day’s visit. We highly recommend Mya for anyone’s special pet!”

“Dow speaks "dog" very well, and our two large dogs quickly recognized a dog lover! Dow's experience with senior dogs was also immediately apparent, and his patience and care with our older dog were much appreciated. We were also grateful for Dow's frequent communications and updates on how the dogs were doing - and he takes great pictures! We highly recommend Dow!”

“Phoebe took excellent care of my kitty while I was away, even dealing with an unexpected hotspot and cone problem. She was very attentive, caring, and made me feel at ease leaving my baby in her care...which is not easy for me! Plus she took so many cute pics. I would definitely recommend her services.”

“Dominique is an exceptional dog sitter! He took amazing care of our large, active dog, managing his energy with ease and ensuring he was happy and well-exercised throughout his stay. Dominique is a fantastic communicator, always prompt and clear in his updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He truly went above and beyond—not only taking excellent care of our pup but also helping out around the house, like taking out the garbage. We couldn’t recommend him more highly and will definitely book him again!”

About: I have taken classes in dog behaviors and how they act when they might need a particular action done. I have a NAPPS certification, which is National Association of Professional Pet Sitters that is earned for all small animals, both including dogs and cats. I have had my own very young puppy, so I know how to handle and train them in a gentle manner that they will respond to. I have tons of experience in senior dogs and cats, so I am patient to more slow animals or paying attention to them more and making sure they have what they need. I have an extremely open schedule and can stay over for longer periods of time than most people. I am free almost every single day for hours on end, so finding when I can come over is no trouble. I’m easy to schedule if I need to house sit, and am extremely responsible and willing to stay overnight when needed. I love taking care of animals in their own homes, knowing they’ll feel the most comfortable surrounded by their familiar surroundings. The only thing I care about is that your furry companions are safe and cared for in a way that they don’t feel out of place or missing the love they got before you left them in my care.
“This was my first time working with Spencer and I felt comfortable to trust him with my cat and home visits right away. As promised, he did a fantastic job, sending numerous photos and a summary after each home visit. I would definitely work with Spencer again anytime.”

“Maria was such a wonderful sitter for our cat while we were gone. She put me at ease, was super organized and routine with her visits, provided ample pictures and notes, and was a genuinely lovely person who I felt I could trust immediately. My cat was so comfortable with her. I will certainly use her again!”

“Cindy was great with Zoey! She’s very communicative, sent updates and photos throughout their visit. I highly recommended using Cindy’s services, I know I’ll be a repeat customer the next time I head out of town!”

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have raised mine from puppies. I’ve also happily walked, house-sat for, and boarded friends’ dogs in times when I didn’t have one of my own. I’m planning a career transition and will be working on a personal creative project, so I will have a flexible schedule to respond to pet parents’ needs during busy work days. Regular walks are important for a happy and healthy pup! When I walk my own dog, I follow routes that will keep us both safe and am always careful in any interactions with other dogs, especially if we don’t know them. I’d do the same for your pet and abide by any specific instructions you might have!
“My first experience of rover, Kelly was super kind, caring, and comforting to my 2 kitties. they are both pretty shy and timid for newcomers and she made both of them feel safe. definitely will want to visit with Kelly again!”

“Amie remains a favorite in our house. Daisy is always so happy when Amie has visited and therefore we are all happy knowing our pup is well cared for. She is a great communicator and incredibly flexible, always putting our pup first.”


“Aislyn was wonderful with our puppy Scout. She was super responsive, on-time, and provided great pictures and write-ups of our visit. That was especially important to us as Scout is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving her home alone for the first time. Scout always looked so happy in the pictures and when we came home from work!”

“Alex did a great job taking care of my cat Chai! She sent me lots of sweet updates and photos of her snuggling and playing with my cat. She was very attentive and went the extra mile by adjusting my AC per my request to ensure Chai’s comfort during the recent heatwave! Would definitely recommend and book again.”

“Michaela did a week of drop ins with our pup, Bastille! She was very communicative, leaving us funny updates after every walk and many photos and videos! Michaela was always on time and our dog clearly loved her. We ran into Michaela at the park after she started doing our mid day walks and Bastille ran right for her! We will definitely be reaching out to Michaela again!”

“Daniel did great with our shy and cautious dog. He warmed up to him surprisingly quick, which we took as a great sign. Daniel left the home clean and did everything as instructed. His daily drop-in notes were informative and thorough. We would definitely book him again in the future.”

“Lexy and Robert were super awesome caring for my sweet baby Nova. They were very responsive and always made me feel like she was in good hands. My go-to in Clarendon!”

“Aly has consistently showed up for us when we need her most! She treats our pup well and is thorough in her reports for how our dog is doing. We appreciate her so much & recommend highly!”

“Aimee was amazing. We were a bit hesitant, as we've never used Rover before, but she was so welcoming and helpful. She came on-time, every time, and cared for our dog. We will definitely use her again!”
