“Casie has been a perfect cat sitter for us from start to finish. I was impressed with her fast response time and her experience with cats. Our cat, who doesn’t warm up to others easily, immediately warmed up to Casie the moment they met. Because of Casie, our cat thrived when we were away. Casie went above and beyond to ensure that all our needs were met properly, and that we can enjoy our trip with little worries. Her updates were detailed and reassuring. We came home to a relaxed, happy cat who had clearly been well cared for. Our cat would highly recommend her if she could, and so do we!”
“Jen was great to work with. Friendly and obviously happy to care for our cat. She worked with us on scheduling the meet and greet even with crazy schedules. Took the pictures with each visit. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“What a wonderful caregiver you were Sarah. Chance was very grateful for your attention. When we arrived home we could tell she was a comfortable caregiver. He didn't miss us as much. Definitely will hire her again for sure!”
“Once again, Aye got our scaredy cat Dewey to fall in love with her. She kept my birds and squirrels well-fed, and ensured we didn’t have any flooding after a severe storm. We will absolutely book with Aye again.”
“Ashton took amazing care of our cats while my husband and I were away! They really went above and beyond to care for our kitties! We also appreciated the daily updates; It was clear our cats were in good hands. Despite our kitties being extremely shy, Ashton was able to connect with them some which gave us great joy and peace of mind.”
“Shannon is an amazing sitter! She is so sweet and I really appreciated how great she was with communicating and sending updates. I will definitely book with her next time I need someone to watch Scooter!”
“I had a positive experience with Megan. She provided my cat with all the attention he needed and made sure he was well cared for while I was away. I loved all the cute pictures she also took!”
“Samantha was great to work with! She answered inquiries quickly, was flexible, punctual, reliable and communicative. She just made the chore of finding a pet sitter so easy and stress free! She even got my super shy cat to come out a few times! Highly recommend!”
“Ryan is such a great person. He was on time in all of his visits. He followed all instructions as I provided. I could not be happier with his service. Highly recommend”
“Emma was extremely attentive to Kitten’s needs and kept me informed about her condition and care. I really appreciated her going above and beyond for us! Thanks again😀”
About: As a proud owner of 3 dogs and a cat, I will strive to make your pet feel like my own. Loved, cherished, and lots of belly rubs. Right now my only priority is to focus on my upcoming school year! Besides that I am free on weekdays and weekends. Day and night! I care for my dogs in my home by providing them with the enrichment they need. Whether that is playing tug of war or treat hide and seek!
About: I love the babies and the old folks yelling, "Get offa my lawn!" I care for puppies who are at least partially housebroken (tell me your style, and I can adapt to it). I care for seniors who need medicine and/or mobility equipment. I care for all the dogs in-between. I have cared for dogs with skin allergies and skittish dogs who are terrified of storms. I will help your dog feel right at home everywhere we go. I go to college online, part-time, so your schedule is my schedule. I am free whenever you need me, generally within one day's notice. If you need me to housesit, as long you have wi-fi, I am good to go. I live in a townhouse, and I have a cat, so I can only doggy daycare small-to-medium dogs, but we can take walks all day long, if your pup wants! At your home, your rules are my rules. I will follow whatever reasonable instructions you have for your pets. (I can also water your plants and feed your fish/birds/small mammals/reptiles.)
“Umaira and her husband are a very nice couple who loves cats and have some of their own. While Asata was in their home, she was very well cared for. She was kept safe, had things to play with and was allowed to be her playful self. We were initially worried about leaving her with strangers since she is so young but we were assured that she would be well cared for and loved like we do. It seems the promise was kept. We were sent pictures and updates each day for the two days we had to leave her because of a family death out of town. We love her so much and will not leave her again for a very long time. But if we ever need to leave her again, we would leave her in Umaira's care. I would recommend this animal caregiver to anyone who needs a sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets most of my life. Friends and relatives call me to either walk their dogs or take care of their cats while they are away. Your precious fur babies are in great hands with me! My schedule will be 7 days a week. My wish is to do this full time☺️ What better job than taking care of you furbabies! ( That includes cats also) PLUS GET $20 off of your first service! I love dog walking because it gets us both outdoors and it’s great exercise for both of us! I can’t wait to meet your fur baby❤️
“I was away for 10 days, Liz was incredibly respectful of my space and took amazing care of my Layla making sure she was fed, snuggled, and entertained. Layla never does well with new people but somehow Liz’s amazing presence was an exception. When I got home, she had fully cleaned the apartment making it look as though I never left, if not better than when I left it. She made sure to keep me updated with EVERYTHING, sending me pictures and videos so I knew Layla was doing good. She also responded very quickly every time which lifted all my stress off of me as it was my first time leaving my apartment in the hands of a sitter. As a first timer on Rover, Liz well exceeded my expectations and I will definitely choose her in the future when I go on more trips!”
About: I’ve spent eleven years as a go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and local clients. Whether it’s daily walks, or keeping up with feeding routines, I bring patience and enthusiasm to every job. I love making sure pets are content and stress-free while their owners are away. I work weekdays, so I’m available to pet sit in the evenings, on weekends, or on my days off, usually about twice a month on average I’m a careful and attentive pet sitter, always respecting each pet’s unique needs during walks and home visits. With confidence in caring for all types of animals, I ensure every pet feels safe and loved.

Cheryl B.
“Cheryl loves animals. I have used her a number of times. She has cared for my 2 Vizslas which require extra snuggling and attention. I like that she will house sit with them so they can stay in a familiar environment while I am away. She will play with them inside and outside, so they are closely watched. She knows by being with the dogs, she would be able to spot any abnormal behavior and then react appropriately.”
