“During out initial meeting, Ashley was professional and easy to talk to. She took notes on each of the dogs. I felt very confident and comfortable leaving our pets in her care. Day of visit, she was on-time, spent time with the dogs to be sure they tinkled and pooped. Her notes were detailed. I will use her again, no doubt!”
“Last minute request on our part. Super fast response and was available to see them within 3 hours of the booking. Great communication and lots of pictures. Thank you 😊”
“Heather is always an absolute delight to have watch our two dogs. They are so excited to see her, even though they are picky with their people! She spends extra time and gives them so much love.”
“Collette took care of our Val when we were gone for two weeks and a a half! She made sure that Val gets all the love that she needs. She is very responsive to either texts or the rover app. We will definitely use her again. She is Val’s top pick! Thank you so much! You’ll always be our special request.”
“Casey always does an incredible job watching our two cats when we go out of town! Her updates & pictures make us feel super at ease. She is our go-to whenever we need someone to come by 😊”
“Brian is an outstanding sitter! I was in the hospital having a baby and was experiencing so much stress finding a trustworthy person to watch my senior pit bull in my home. He cannot be boarded or crated. My dog has separation anxiety and Brian was able to help calm him and walk him or just hang out at the house with him when he needed a nap. Unexpectedly, my daughter needed to stay in the hospital and Brian was flexible and understanding. You are a life safer. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking great care of my dog-son.”
“Renee was great! Loved that she took the time beforehand to do a meet n greet. She even did an extra meet n greet because we booked so far in advance and it had been awhile. Attentive, kind, and her passion for animals is clear! Thank you 😊”
About: My family and I had a dog named Honey who we loved dearly, but sadly lost in a house fire around two years ago. I love dogs, and I really miss having one around. I thought Rover would be a great way to care for dogs and make some money on the side! I have experience as an emotional support assistant for students with mental disabilities, a role that demands great patience and understanding. I study Mechanical Engineering Asynchronously, and I work as a barista part-time. When I’m not working I’m usually studying, so I thought why not pack up my work and petsit while I study! My academic and professional lives require great attention to detail, so any sets of specific rules/schedules for any pet(s) under my care will be followed diligently!
“Cristina was absolutely wonderful with my dog during her visits! She truly went out of her way to take care of him, making sure he felt comfortable, loved, and entertained the entire time. She played with him, gave him lots of attention, and treated him like her own. I could tell he had an amazing time. It honestly felt like he was on vacation while I was away! I’ll definitely be reaching out to Cristina again for future visits. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello, I am a small/medium dog sitter with 8 years of experience. I enjoy playing with all size dogs but preferably will take in small dogs because of the space in my home. I also have a small dog with me so it would be fun to see her create new friends and have full bonding experience for my dog and yours. I have multiple toys for them to play as well as a good size yard for them to run around in. I will also take them out for walks and make sure they get their daily 30 minute walk. I prefer receiving information/details by text. I will answer by phone if it is more easier for my client. I also added an emergency contact if I don't respond in the next 2 hours. I'm home more often than others and taking care of other people's fur baby will be a great way for me to pass time. It will also help me meet new people and get out of the house to do daily walks. I take care of my Molly like she is my baby. I make sure she is well fed and has enough space for her to run around. I enjoy playing with her and just spending time with my Molly. If I were to be in someone's home I'd make sure I'm careful with everyone's belongings and take care of their fur babies like I do with Molly.
“Theresa is awesome. She is the best sister that I have met. I have a German shepherd that does not get along easily with anyone or any dog but she handles him very well. Only take her 2 days and Rex loves her. He brings toy and gives her kisses on second day. It is even surprise me. She is the best. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have cared for my relatives' dogs for approximately 10 years. When they have been on vacation I have either cared for them in my own home, and driven to theirs to ensure their dogs are fed and walked. I personally love going on walks on a regular basis, so dog walking is a joy to me. I work a full time job, but my schedule is flexible and allows me the ability to do pet care on the side. My availability is more open Friday through Monday mornings. Safety is definitely a priority so my goal is to make sure your pet is safe, has the right amount of food and water, and has a clean environment to roam in while their owners are gone. I also allow your pet to get comfortable with me, and am very mindful of their boundaries.
About: From my childhood being with dogs have been my best friends. I adore their loyalty. I love spending time with them and see them happy. Dogs are a huge part of my life, I can't imagine not having them around me. To be with them and take care of dogs is what I prefer and have fun doing. I can so relate to every dog owners wish for the best care of their dog, just how I do with mine. I'm trustworthy and reliable. I would tend to your dog as much as I do to my own. I love and respect them so much. Dogs enlighten my life. I'm very easy going and flexible person. Tending to dogs comes natural to me because I appreciate them so much. I'm mostly home and don't leave the dogs alone at all. I enjoy going for long walks to the nearest parks and play and hang out with your dog as much as I do with mine.
“Angel is fantastic! Great communication, always on time and left my house in better shape than I'd had it. Mabel loves spending time with her. Angel is a top notch sitter. 100% recommend without hesitation. Your pet will thrive under her care”
About: My love for dogs is beyond measure. I plan to instil the confidence and trust that my pups have in me, to your furry baby. My goal is to provide the highest quality of service and care while working with your dog. I am well versed in various mental stimulation and training techniques to help you and your pup(s) have a happy, healthy relationship. Ensuring your dog(s) have plenty of physical and mental exercise is my #1 goal. Nothing makes me happier than seeing those large grins. I have two pups of my own, Jazmine and Jazper. They are my life; hence why I have decided to focus my career in working with dogs. This is not just a job for me, but a passion.
About: I treat all pets like my own. I have cared for puppies to even 18 years old dogs. I will care for your pet in every way. I like to stay active; therefore, using my down time to care for and love pets is one of the best ways I can think of! I am a clean freak. Your pet and their space will continuously be cleaned and kept safe. As a clean freak, I also ensure my living space (that will be shared with your pets) is clean and safe.
“Christina is wonderful with my finicky cat! She filled in at the last minute because Kobe wouldn’t come out for my regular cat sitter to get his insulin. He came out willingly for Christina. She is the greatest!!”
About: I have grown up with pups my whole life! I cannot wait to assist you with your furry loved ones, both small and large. They are in good hands!

Antonio P.
“Antonio's love for dogs is unparalleled. Not only does it shine through his character as an individual, but he can develop a bond of trust which they sense and embrace. Antonio has personally cared for, and helped my dogs when my work schedule varied. They always feel at home with him and I can rest assured they are in good hands. Antonio's dogs have learned to go through some hoops to earn a treat, which in turn my dogs have picked up positive habits from his understanding and patience with them. Our community is very dog friendly with lots of bigger and mixed breeds so we all would get together at the park and let our dogs socialize while we got to know our neighbors better. Some of us coined Antonio the DogFather since all the dogs love him and his two gorgeous Pitties. I know if our apartment allowed it, Antonio would rescue more dogs and give them all the love they reciprocate back to us hundreds of times over.”

Jessica M.
“Jessica has been an absolute life saver for our pups. Our dogs both have high anxiety and she provides excellent care and excerise for our 70lb Labradoodle and 9lb Australian shepherd. She truly cares about animals and their well being. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a pet sitter/walker!”
