“Gabrielle was so great with our chocolate lab! She was professional and sent photos and an update on him the entire week we were out of town. She also left our home clean and tidy .”


“Casey and her partner were absolutely amazing! They stayed at our home for two weeks and watched out German Shepard, Golden Retriever, and cat while we were in vacation. All three babies really seemed to love them. I always worry leaving the Shepard because she gets a bit anxious and doesn't eat or sleep, but Casey and her partner were so patient with her and she had no problems! Will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”


“Klaudia is quite simply terrific. We have two large boxers who require a lot of attention Klaudia immediately bonded with them and took excellent care of our babies. She also left our house in pristine condition. We also appreciate the great communication and pictures. What a pleasure to deal with and we will absolutely have Klaudia back to watch our girls”


“I always leave a review so that others will feel more than comfortable when considering Kaylee to watch their dog. I’m grateful to have found her and have hired Kaylee a few times already as this last trip was 2 weeks outside of the country. It made my trip more enjoyable, and my seven-year-old dog has really bonded with her!”


“Klaudia was fantastic! When I got back home, my dogs was very calm. It seemed like they spent a good time outside and were well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Klaudia & contact her for future bookings! :)”


“Carolyn is great! She clearly loves dogs and cats. We felt 100% comfortable leaving our dog and cat with her and having her in our home. She did a great job. Would highly recommend!”


About: With veterinarian parents, I have a 24/7 hotline for any animal questions or concerns that come up. I have also taken care of animals all my life, so I have the right tool kit to watch over your pets. I am 9-5 fully remote so I can leave periodically throughout the day to take care of your pet. I am fully available on the weekend. Beyond feeding and cleaning, pet enrichment time is very important. I will make an effort to play with your furry friends and keep them entertained when I visit. I am all ears to learn what your pet likes, dislikes, and anything in between so I can interact accordingly.

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!

“She was kind to the old ladies and very friendly. They liked her alot. When we returned to our apartment, they were so tired and happy even the cat was happy. Thank you again Susan for treating the old lady's very well.”


“We loved having Elizabeth stay with our little, old man. She took excellent care of him and our home while we were away for Spring Break. Very glad we found her!”

We Already have her booked for Another one of our trip !!!”
