“I knew Gwynne was a good fit by the way Bandit took to her right away at the meet & greet - dogs know! She was very responsive to my texts and sent me pictures of my happy dog. This was the first time we had ever left Bandit with anyone in the two years we've had him (except for one disastrous experience at a kennel) due to his severe separation anxiety. Bandit is OK being left in his own house, so we thought we'd give Rover a try. So glad we did!”
“I would rehire Adam for any Pet related service I need in the future. He took good care of my two cats, one with special needs. He followed directions and did what was asked of him and kept me updated. Couldn’t ask for anymore. thanks Adam. I’ll keep you in mind for the future.”
“Andrew was incredible!! He watched our 2 cats while we were out of town for about a week and was very quick to respond and sent us lots of pictures. He was very accommodating to some last minute changes and was so good with our little kitties!! Will definitely be using his services again. Highly recommend!”
“Anna was so great watching our two cats. Very communicative and went above and beyond to ensure my cats were comfortable. Will book with Anna every time we are out of town!”
“I give Jared a 5-Star ***** rating for today’s visit . Hershey bonded with Jared way beyond my expectations. As the saying goes: “A picture tells a thousand words.” And Hershey looked happy. My dog was safe and loved. I will be booking Jared again through Rover! I highly recommend Jared as well. 🐾💕🐾”
“May did a fantastic job with my pets while I was gone. I have two large dogs and four cats. She eased all my anxiety while I was away. Would definitely recommend her and use her services again”
“Reilly was so great with our girl Piper. From our initial meet and greet to the drop ins she was extremely accommodating and understanding, even when we had a hiccup with access to our property. She even left us a little goodie bag for Piper. We will be booking with her again in the future!”
“Ashley was so great with our cat, Dizzy. Dizzy was clearly well taken care of, and was excited when Ashley came to visit her. I really appreciated all of the pictures she sent, showing us what Dizzy was up to. I felt at ease in our travels knowing that Dizzy had such good company. We will definitely be booking Ashley again!”
About: I’ve had pets of all species, shapes, and sizes. I love taking care of pets, hanging out with them, and ensuring they’re safe and comfortable. I have a dog of my own and have done well training him. I’ve had dogs since I was five and deeply enjoyed taking care of them. I have cared for family member’s cats and dogs and I also have experience with some reptiles and rodents. I’ve even helped stray dogs throughout my life, managing to make them feel safe with me until an owner was found. I’m good at gaging an animal’s individual personality and acting accordingly. Shy? I am patient and gentle. Outgoing? I am ready to play. Your pet mainly likes privacy and naps? I’ll respect their space. I love animals and would love to care for yours when you need it! I’m working part time, which allows me plenty of time in the morning and afternoon to help care for your pet! I’m available from about 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday and after 8 p.m. I am free all day on Sundays and Mondays. I will notify if there are any days/times that I become unavailable. I have a friendly dog of my own who would love to play and keep your dog company, if needed. I have also cared for dogs, cats, and even reptiles and rodents, since I was a kid. I am gentle, patient, and fearless when it comes to animals. I will give the utmost love and care to your pet!
About: I’ve lived with animals of all sizes since before I could walk. I love meeting new anims everywhere I go and do my best to understand and respect them. I see pets as family members, and believe they should be treated as such. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I have plenty of availability throughout the week. I will keep my calendar updated and communicate promptly about any scheduling changes. I believe pets are happiest when their routines stay consistent. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pets are family, too. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you know how they’re doing. I’m very comfortable with both cats and dogs and have experience with pets of all sizes.
“Jessica was delightful. She sent pictures and videos as well as notes on the visits. I knew my pets were well taken care of. Infact they were fine when I came home. They weren't acting like a had been away. Maybe they miss Jessica. 🤷♀️”
“This is the second time I’ve booked Kimberly. We were able to work out a flexible schedule for her drop-in visits. Kimberly took good care of my cat! I came home to my happy Pudding! I’ll definitely ask Kimberly again.”
About: I have taken care of my neighbors dog since they got her. I would do routinely walks, play dates, and would feed their dog whenever they were out of town. I am a forensic scientist by day but an animal lover by night. I love animals and have a cat of my own and get the most joy coming home to him. After a long stressful day, taking care of cute animals makes me feel so much better. I will walk, feed, and play with your pet’s wherever you are comfortable with me doing that. Whatever specific’s you have, I will follow to make sure your experience with me is the best that it can be.
About: I’ve taken care of and loved dogs for as long as I can remember! My favorite part of the day is seeing their tail wag! I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I start and end my days by making sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention. When at a clients home, I treat the space with respect and make sure to stick to the pets routine. I am willing to provide regular updates and pictures to make the owners feel as comfortable as possible!
“Hayley did a wonderful job checking in with my cat, Callie. She was very responsive and sent me lots of pictures of her while I was away. My cat warmed up to her right away while she checked in with her. I will definitely be using Hayley again and would recommend her to anyone else looking for a sitter.”

Adam did a wonderful job caring for our dogs when we were away. He went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable and loved. One of our dogs is 19 years old and has special needs, and Adam was very knowledgeable in how to care for her and give her the extra attention she needs. Thank you Adam!
Thank you so much Jessica for taking such amazing care of my babies. Your messages were so funny and well written. My trip was very peaceful and relaxing and all the more so because I had someone so caring it made me feel such peace of mind knowing someone like you was looking after my fur babies! I looked forward everyday to reading your daily updates in the notes on rover. I'm glad my cat Gizmo got the chance to boss somebody else around for a change lol.
I give Jared a 5-Star ***** rating for today’s visit . Hershey bonded with Jared way beyond my expectations. As the saying goes: “A picture tells a thousand words.” And Hershey looked happy. My dog was safe and loved. I will be booking Jared again through Rover! I highly recommend Jared as well. 🐾💕🐾
Andrew comes highly recommended. He is extremely dependable, thorough, and spends every minute of that window with your pet. He is very communicative, flexible, and further, is a consummate professional. Your pet is in good hands and to this day we take advantage of his availability every time we get the opportunity.
Chrissy is absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my two babies while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She treated my cats like they were her own—giving them love, attention, and making sure they felt comfortable and safe. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. I loved the updates and photos she shared, and it was clear my cats adored her. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely loving with animals, Chrissy is the perfect cat sitter. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again! 🐾💖
