“I am so grateful they were able to drop in on such short notice! They also took pictures and were communicative when needed. I would book with them again!”
“Holly & Robert were pleasant and engaged, picked up my pet routine right away. Were kind enough to give me a refund for the 2nd day when my plans changed.”
“Patrick is so amazing. I am very grateful for his help with taking care of my pup. He is so flexible and accommodating with scheduling. My dog absolutely loves him.”
“Kimberly was great help for our two cats. Our cat sitter plans fell through the last moment before we had to take a trip and she was able to jump right in and save the day. She followed all of our instructions and kept our cats company when they were lonely and missing us. She also went above and beyond to get our keys back to us when we came back as we needed them for the next day before we went to work. Definitely will consider her in the future.”
“Brigit did a fantastic job of drop-in visits to take care of my cat while I was out of town. She communicated promptly and very effectively about those drop-in visits. I would highly recommend Brigit to anyone looking for drop-in cat visits!”
About: I have worked in zoos, wildlife rehabs, and shelters for over 5 years. I am well-versed in operant conditioning training and provided medication to many species including dogs, cats, and birds. My schedule is very flexible, so I can drop by to care for your pet in your home anytime that fits your schedule! I am not available for boarding pets at my home at this time. I am unavailable for long term stays, e.g. longer than one week I always take into account the owner's preferences for their pet. I will adapt to the way you want your pet to be cared for. With my background in the zoo field, working inside specific parameters is how animals get the best care in the way they are used to.
“I used Wendy's drop-in service to watch my cat recently and I am very pleased. She clearly loves animals and my cat took to her instantly, she was punctual, sent pictures and went above and beyond by bringing in the mail and cleaning up after when my cat threw up. I highly recommend Wendy and will definitely use her again.”
“Jana was an outstanding pet sitter for our 2 cats. She sent great photos every visit and you could see how well cared for they were by their happy eyes and forward whiskers! She was consistently on time and the litterboxes were spotless when we returned. It is great to be able to leave my pets in her loving heart and hands! I would most definitely book Jana again!”
“Kristen was wonderful! We were so worried about leaving our cat and got home to a happy and healthy boy!! Thank you Kristen! You’re wonderful, as our cat likes very few people. We especially appreciated the pictures you’d send of Bradley. Thank you!!”
“Kayla was amazing, never had a single worry, she sent pics and kept us updated which was wonderful. I would highly recommended using her for any pet needs.”
“Tabatha is the best. She’s a very caring, thoughtful caregiver. Super reliable and responsive with plenty of communication and photos. She even kept an eye on the plants. Will definitely be rebooking in the future if she’s available. Thank you so much Tabatha!”
“Max did an amazing job. He met me the day before to receive instructions and meet Whiskey and Willow. He was thoughtful and asked smart questions. For the stop-ins, he came at consistent times each day and sent photos. He was reliable and trustworthy and I’d hire him again”
About: Dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented—I take time to understand your dog’s unique needs to ensure they feel secure and loved while you’re gone. There’s nothing better than to come home to a happy, tail wagging dog. I am currently a grad student at the University of New Mexico. Pet sitting is something I look forward to each week to take my mind off of all my studies. I enjoy spending time with pets to relieve their stress as well as mine. I take pride in providing respectful, attentive care in your home. Keeping your pet comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their routine, giving them affection, exercise, and calm companionship. I treat every home with the same care I would my own, ensuring everything is clean, secure, and just as you left it.
“Savannah did a wonderful job watching my cats this past weekend. She was willing to come to the house for a meet and greet the weekend prior and checked in with a Rover card and sweet photos of the cats during her drop-in. Would definitely recommend!”
About: Avid animal and Jesus lover! I have been around animals all my life! I grew up with multiple cats and dogs, and I currently have 3 cats that are my pride and joy! Within the past 3 years, I have also started horseback riding and volunteering at local animal shelters. I love taking care and spending time with animals, and I would love to watch your pets! I have frequently watched animals for friends and family members in the past, and I'm always excited to make new fur friends! I work a typical 8-5, Monday-Friday job. Other than work, I am usually at home spending time with my animals. I would be able to watch and board your animals anytime during the weekends, and after 5 PM on weekdays I am available! I have a fenced backyard with 3 friendly cats that would keep your fur baby company! I also have plenty of room to separate my pets from yours if need be. I live in a safe neighborhood where I can take your pet for walks and spend plenty of time outside!

Academy Hills Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover and Blake made me feel comfortable right away. Blake was very professional and you could tell that they loved animals and truly cared about their well being. I received daily updates and pictures of my cuties as well as overall reassurance that all was going well while I was gone. Thanks Blake! I’ll definitely rebook in the future!
Laura is the absolute best kitty sitter we could have ever dreamed of. She is so kind and loving with our three babies, and absolutely spoils them with cuddles, play time, and her genuine love for them. We receive colorful, detailed notes and lots of pictures so we can have the reassurance that our kitties are happy and so well cared for. They adore her as much as we do. Laura is the absolute best! 😻
I contacted Olivia only a few days before I was in need of someone to take care of my beloved cat, Zayda. She responded right away, came to do a meet-and-greet that same evening, and right away I knew that I could trust her with my baby. After booking her initially for drop-in visits, I asked her if she'd be willing to adjust the booking to staying overnight instead because I worried about my cat being lonely and scared of fireworks. Olivia didn't hesitate a second - she understood my needs and completely accommodated the change on short notice. She sent photos twice a day and communicated well. I am very grateful to have found her.
I can’t say enough about the wonderful care Alexa took with my senior kitty. She was kind, responsible, communicative and definitely made my vacation worry free. It’s so wonderful to know you can go away and count on someone to be there for your furry family member.
Heaven took excellent care of my cats. She sent entertaining and informative messages each day along with happy cat photos. My cats seemed disappointed that their vacation ended upon my return. I will definitely be asking for Heaven’s services again in the future.
This was the first time I used this site and I had Brigid come over and watch my two little girls for a couple of days. everything seems perfect The girls acted kind of weird when I came back, I'm thinking that they were just mad at me for deserting them I think they thought that they were up for adoption because some lady was coming to take care of them haha! I will definitely use them again. Thank you Brigid.
