Emily did a great job with my kitties! My very shy rehabilitated feral even took to her! House was clean and cats happy and healthy. She was attentive to detail and very communicative.

Mariah is really great. I'm really glad I found out about Rover and about Mariah. It makes it easy for me to take fun little trips without having to worry about my pet while I'm gone.

Lily took great care of my kitten this week! I booked on short notice after she spent the weekend at the emergency vet. Would 100% recommend and I've already rebooked for the future :)

About: I worked as a pet-sitter in the Goshen area during college. I have experience with older dogs and multi-pet households. I’m happy to keep as close to your regular schedule as possible. I’ve just graduated from UND with my MFA and I am looking for a little extra income as I adjust to life post graduate school. My days are totally flexible and I am happy to work around your preferred schedule. I’ve accommodated picky eaters and older pets dealing with incontinence. No matter what the situation is, I’m ready to dive right in and make your pet feel as comfortable as possible.

Couldn’t have asked for a better cat-sitter. This is the longest I’ve ever had to leave Victor on my own and Lydia made that so much easier. Even when there were difficulties accessing the apartment— she was still so helpful! Will vouch 100%

Christina was friendly, and reliable! She sent photos every visit and I could tell she was really thorough with sweeping my guinea pigs cages, which is wonderful! If we ever need another sitter I’d book her again!

Alyssa took great care of our 13-year old cat while we were away. She sent pictures daily and our normally reluctant cat took to her right away. We will definitely book Alyssa again the next time we need a sitter.

Val was amazing! She did drop in visits for my dogs for about five days. On each visit she took pictures and updated me on the status of my dogs. I could see on their faces that they were having fun with Val. She even bought them some toys to play with. She was very attentive and responsible.

About: I have had my beagle for 6 years, she was my first dog. I also have three other dogs and have experience grooming in a professional setting so I learned a whole lot about dog body language Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I make time each day for feeding, walks or litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. I’m very consistent with routines and make sure pets are checked on regularly throughout the day. I also prioritize communication with owners by sending updates and photos so they know their pet is doing well. Since I enjoy spending time with animals, caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to each day and I always make sure they receive dependable, attentive care. I care for every pet as if they were my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes or potty areas, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to administer medications if needed and always keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and safe. If pets are in my home, they will have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with lots of supervision. I make sure they have regular potty breaks, playtime, and a calm place to rest. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. My goal is always to make pets feel loved and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in good hands.

We had a really good experience with Kylie taking care of both the cats. Both cats gelled with her, she made sure to share many pictures from every visit. Had a peace of mind, knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely approach her again if we get a chance.

About: I've been caring for all kinds of animals since the age of 13. I have had 3 dogs of my own. One of them having special needs who needed extra loving. My neighbors and family members have counted on me to care for their animals while they were away. I am very open minded when it comes to all types of dogs and I love each of them as if they were my own. Pet care for me is especially easy and convenient because although Im currently working full-time (6:30am-2:30pm) I work about a mile down the road so i have time to come home for lunch and let your pets out! Also Saturdays and Sundays I am free day to watch after your pup! Your pets will be taken out around every 4 hours each day. After work I go on daily walks for about a half hour so it would be a perfect time to take your pup out for a walk! I also love about 3 minutes away from our town dog park! Also, I usually answer any calls or messages pretty quick, my job also allows me to be able to respond quickly to anything you might need.

About: I have over three years of experience providing pet walking and house-sitting services, caring for a wide range of animals with reliability and compassion. I am passionate about working with pets of all kinds and committed to ensuring their comfort, safety, and well-being. I have two dogs of my own that I care for on a daily basis, giving me hands-on experience in providing consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize the comfort, routine, and well-being of each animal. For dog walking, I ensure they get regular, safe, and stimulating walks based on their energy level and needs. For pet sitting, I follow any feeding, medication, and exercise schedules provided and make sure they have plenty of companionship and attention. Additionally, I keep the home clean and provide regular updates to the owner. My goal is to make the pet feel comfortable and cared for while maintaining the owner’s peace of mind.

About: I am a huge pet lover! I’ve had several pets over the years and I treat them as if they were my child. I feel as if animals should feel loved and cared for just as much as us humans. For the time being I am available ALL week including weekends. I have always had a special connection with animals. My friend of mine had a Golden Retriever and his name was Benny he was my bestfriend. We’d always spend time together and I’ve always just felt the need to look after him as if he were my own. My point is I genuinely care for animals and it’s always in my best interest to keep them safe and care for them as best as possible. I have a huge field across from my house that I walk to every morning and afternoon just to get some fresh air so daily walks and outdoor time won’t be a problem for me. I also like to have cats as my primary emotional support animal so their presence alone would be a great addition to my daily routine. There is a ginormous field across from my apartment complex for your fur companion’s enjoyment so there will be tons of outdoor and play time. I do not have a fenced yard so I will always be alongside them at the park with a secured leash of course.

Emily did a really wonderful job with Panther - he is extremely wary of strangers, so the fact that he evidently warmed up to Emily by the end of the two weeks speaks volumes. She also went above and beyond, grabbing the mail and running the vacuum, which we didn't expect, but definitely appreciate.

Hanling took excellent care of our kitty! She came in advance to meet him and get instructions in person, and spent lots of time playing and cuddling with him on each visit so he wouldn't be too lonely while we were gone. She also sent us lots of pictures of him. We will definitely call her the next time we need a pet sitter.
