“Maureen was excellent! We can see why she has so many 5 star reviews. She followed directions precisely, the pups were happy, our house was just how we left it and we will book with Maureen again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jessika! She took excellent care of our cat and dog while we were away. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands and that she respected our home while staying there. I especially appreciated her regular updates she sent throughout the day, which kept us reassured and connected. We highly recommend her services and will be using her again next time we leave town!”
“April took care of my Daphne during the Christmas holiday. She was well cared for and loved. I am very happy to have connected and will in the future when care is needed when we're away. Highly recommend her. Thank you again”
“Jill is amazing! She saved me when I was cancelled on last minute without a sitter for my home and dog. She was very considerate, reliable, and did an amazing job overall. Highly recommend working with Jill! But hoping not too many do so that I get her more for myself! 🤣”
“Melinda is fantastic. I had her house sit and care for my high energy dog and cat that needs meds 2x/day for a full week. She asked plenty of questions to be sure she knew their needs along with the household schedule. We got a detailed daily summary with plenty of pictures. It was obvious that my pets were having their typical day in our absence. My house was immaculate and my pets were happy and healthy upon our return. I recommend Melinda highly.”
“Dean was absolutely terrific! Our dogs took to him immediately and on his first time watching them, he watched them for two weeks! They’re both over 80 pounds and full of love, and he was able to walk them every day and give us peace of mind while we were out of town! Thank you, Dean and we look forward to working with you again!!”
“Hailee did a great job with our two dogs and cat while we were gone for almost a week. She responded to messages and kept me updated when I checked in. One of my neighbors met her outside with our dogs and said she could tell my babies loved Hailee which just makes my heart happy. When we returned, our house was just as I left it. Thank you for being there for us and our family on pretty short notice when our other sitter fell through. I think we ended up with exactly who we were supposed to.”
“Stefanie couldn’t have been better or easier to work with. She was prompt, communicative and really made an effort to keep me in the loop on how the cats were doing. It really made me feel at ease knowing they were in such good hands. She will definitely be their go-to sitter!”
“Katharina went above and beyond for us she came into a house with no power for 2 days. My rescue gave her a hard time as he was already stressed from the hurricane. She turned that around in no time and had him snuggling with her. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch our dogs!!!!!”
“Nicole came over to do a meet and greet. Toby loved her and we felt very reassured having her dog sit for Toby in our home overnight. She is very experienced and knowledgable. Toby got lots of attention and exercise while we were gone and he felt comfortable with Nicole. She sent us pictures and updates periodically, which we greatly appreciated. We appreciate knowing Toby was in good hands while we were gone for 1 1/2 days.”
About: I have had dogs in my home as a child and have cared for my neighbors' dogs since we moved to America. My kids are equally dogs and cats lover as my husband and I are. I love walking them and giving them all the attention they need. I am currently home all day, so I can dedicate 100% of my time to the pets . The pets can be wherever they want to be in my house, no restrictions other than those that will be indicated to me. I live in a fairly spacious apartment with stairs to the first floor. In front of the house I have a lot of space where I can take the dogs for a walk. It is a very quiet area. If the dog stays in its own home, I will scrupulously follow the indications of the dog's favorite places to walk.
About: Hello! I am new to Rover, but certainly not new to pet care! From dogs and cats to snakes and gerbils, I have plenty of experience to care for your pets. I am happy to accommodate to several types of animals and personality types. I am able to provide specific care such as administering oral medications or bath times. I am happy to hang out on the couch and give pets all day or even take your pet for a run. I have a reliable car (2019 Jeep with 50k miles) and am extremely punctual and can communicate directly and effectively. I have recently graduated from Eckerd College (the #1 most pet friendly college in America!) and am currently taking a gap year while I study for the LSAT. The best part about that is I am extremely available! I am the biggest pet lover and would love to be able to help some pet parents out! If there are any questions for me, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you! I am extremely available! I am currently not working as I am studying for the LSAT and preparing law school applications. My only commitment is from 3:30-4:30 every weekday. I will always make sure that your pet has eaten, gone for a walk, and most importantly, gotten lots of love. I enjoy being around animals more than anything and I can be very flexible with clients for any specific needs.
“He was great! I have two large and crazy pot mixes. He sent me pics throughout the day. Very responsive when I checked in. My house was clean. I felt my dogs were safe with him. Highly recommended and will be calling him back in the future”

Laura R.
“I left my beloved cat with Laura for a few days, based on a friend’s recommendation, and it turned out to be a great choice. Bisou is very sensitive and usually wary of strangers, so I was really worried about leaving him. But Laura was incredibly kind and patient, and she managed to connect with him and gain his trust. Before taking care of him, she asked me everything—his habits, fears, allergies—showing how much she truly cares about the well-being of the animals she looks after. While I was away, she kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind. She was affectionate, attentive, and genuinely caring. From now on, I know exactly who I can trust to take care of my pets. Thank you so much, Laura!”
Kacy K.
“Kacy is amazing with my dog, Bruno! She sends lots of photos and makes sure to keep Bruno company after each walk. Bonus points for bringing him allergy-friendly treats as well ;). She makes sure the house is clean and changes the water bowl every time she visits. I highly recommend.”
