“Jnaessa took loving care of my three critters (a needy dog and two cats). She gave them love and attention including extra attention to my fussy eater old lady cat to get her to eat. She sent me pictures daily. The house was neat as a pin when I arrived home. I will definitely be booking Janessa again.”
“Jenna was absolutely wonderful! Extremely communicative and kept us updated which I really appreciated. She left our home in tip top shape and our pets were very well taken care of. We’ve already rebooked her for her services! 11/10 recommend”
“Another amazing visit with Holly! Our 2 cats and 1 senior dog adore her, and Holly’s attentiveness and care allows us to leave town and not worry about our fur babies one bit. Thank you, Holly!”
“Melinda was a wonderful sitter. She took amazing care of our two dogs, cat, and home. She communicated throughout the trip, worked well with our drama-queen terriers and orange cat, and I think the house was cleaner when we got home than it was when we left! We felt completely comfortable leaving the animals in her care. We very highly recommend Melinda.”
About: In my younger years I was known as that house you could trust your pets with, which sadly led to less boarding and daycare services and more abandonment of pets on my doorstep. I accepted each surrender because I always figured better here with me then on the streets. After successfully adopting out all these love bugs to people I knew and trusted over the years, I've found myself in smaller quarters. I've found comfort and fulfillment in caring for outdoor cats (commonly referred to as strays) Taking in an orange Tabby to call my own in the process. I've made friends with neighbors who share the same love and passion and through these connections found community - a cat community! I currently care for three cats (siblings), house-sitting as well while their human parents are away. Each individual cat has it's different wants/needs. Through these experiences I've learned gaining trust and love is different for each individual feline. I'm looking to expand my care/services to neighboring cat families mainly because I love cats and know how important it is to have a community of cat folks in your corner when duty, vacation or emergencies call. I'm currently employed by Uber Eats so I make my own schedule. I'm open to weekend care as well. The only thing I do religiously is cultural dancing on Wednesday nights. My current clients are all indoor kitties so I am used to securing the household, feeding on a schedule throughout the day and doing enrichment with them be that play or individual love and cuddle time. I prepare meals specific to each cats needs, keep litterboxes and surrounding areas clean and keeping water stations fresh.
“Our first time booking a sitter for our 6-month-old Cavapoo and Michelle is awesome. Kept us updated on how he was doing throughout the night and even sent some pictures of him while we were away. Highly recommend.”
About: I have been dog sitting and taking care of pets since I was 15. I love being with dogs of all ages and breeds. I have a soft spot for anxious or nervous dogs as I also have a nervous dog at home myself! I will be sure to send you photos and updates every day about your pet and will treat them like they are my own pup. They will be well taken care of and receive lots of love when they are with me. New to Rover? Use my code for $20 off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/natass69178 I am currently working full-time, but I am available to come by on my lunch break for a potty break or walk, and can come take care of your pet before 8am and after 5pm. If you prefer to keep your dog crated, I make sure they are not being destructive to your home while I am gone. I also make sure to give them plenty of mental stimulation, and I will clearly communicate all matters to you.
About: I have 4 kitties and 1 pup of my own. I have had no less than 3 cats my entire life, and am always helping the local strays as well, so I have loved cats of every type of personality and special need. I take my pup with me just about everywhere, so I have a lot of experience being out and about with a canine companion. My dog doesn't like other dogs, so I am also comfortable caring for pups that prefer not to be around other dogs. If you're looking to give your pup an extra special day out at a new park, I would love to bring them on an adventure! If your dog and/or cat is all about routine, I've got you. Playtime? I am so there! Or maybe your little one is a bit anxious and just wants some scratches and snuggles - I am here to make them feel safe and loved while you are away. <3 Whatever they need most, I am here to provide. I am a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, and as such, I have an extremely flexible schedule, so I can be available whenever it is that you need me the most! I always have access to my own car, so even if you need your pup taken to an appointment or to their most special favorite park, I am happy to do so. If you're looking for someone to stay with your pet all day and/or night, everything I need to do my freelance work is portable, so I can give your little one all the attention they deserve. :) I am the master of catering to the needs of all different types of pet personalities, as I have 4 cats and 1 dog of my own, all very unique from one another. As such, I am able to cater the care I give to fit perfectly with your little one's needs and routines.
“Trish was great and the dogs seemed to have enjoyed her company. She stayed in touch with me through the weekend, which was reassuring given that we have a special needs dog that requires heart meds throughout the day. We appreciated her attentiveness and communication.”
“Jenna was great! Gave me updates all weekend not just of my kitty eating but of her getting lap time which made me feel reassured she was being taken care of and loved. Would def hire her again!”
“Jasmine is Amazing! I have a medical cat who required medication nightly. She was able to pill him was so attentive! When we did our meet and greet she asked questions about things I wouldn’t have thought to tell her! She gave me updates often and even brought a toy to play with one of our cats (our dogs eat all the cat toys). I hardly trust anyone with my cat but I felt so comfortable knowing she was there! I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Alain was wonderful with our senior dog and younger pup while we were out of town for a few days. She provided care in our home and we came back to happy dogs! She was communicative, provided updates and pictures and seemed to enjoy their company. We would be happy to have her care for them again :)”
“Keishla took great care of my large dog and cats while I was away. She even won over the affection of my more skiddish kitten! From the meet and greet, through the end of the sit, Keishla was respectful, responsive, and professional. She spent plenty of time playing with the animals, kept the house clean, and sent several updates and pictures throughout the sit. I would happily book her again!”
About: Ever since I was 10 I've taken care of dogs. I have experience in many different ages of dogs from newborn puppies to full grown. Since it is summer your pets will always fit in my schedule! Saturday and Sunday will be the only days I can't fit your pets in. I will always be willing to feed, clean, play and walk with your pets if they need it. I can stay overnight too as well.
About: I have been house and pet sitting for over 15 years. My love for animals is a core part of who I am and how I like to spend my time. I grew up around a wide variety of animals, such as dogs, cats, chickens, llamas, and horses, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From a young age I helped tend to our rotating family of 2–5 dogs at a time. This gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and life stages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors with special needs. I currently share my home with my two beloved cats (Ellie & Ripley, 6yo sisters), and I also help care for several neighborhood cats regularly. I understand that each cat has a unique personality and needs, and I'm happy to learn your kitty's special habits and routine. Your feline family members will be in experienced and loving hands. As a house sitter I am clean and respectful of all pet owners' privacy and personal space. I have prior experience managing properties, so I am familiar with a variety of home styles and their practical needs (e.g. keeping old houses cool in summer). I will take good care of your home so that you have one less worry while traveling. Whether your pet needs extra patience, medication management, or just lots of playtime and cuddles, I bring genuine care and a lifetime of experience to every visit. Your pets won't just be looked after, they'll be loved. My husband and I take care of our own two pets every day. We're very proactive about refreshing water dishes and litter boxes, as well as enforcing everyone's diet and feeding schedule. I also help care for my neighborhood outdoor cat colony. We help keep them fed and safe. I treat my client's home with respect and privacy, prioritizing your pets comfort and routines. I'm happy to play with them or just give them some quiet company while you are away and they are missing you.
“Jazmin was great! She kept our house clean, followed all instructions, and even helped give our dog eye drops when it wasn’t in the initial instructions. Our animals were very happy with her! She was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures and videos of our babies!”
“This is my second time booking RJ to watch my dog at my place and he was amazing once again. He sends daily pics and updated me on how my little girl was doing which provides a lot of peace of mind, especially having a senior dog. Whenever he had a question he would reach out which I appreciated.”
“Joel was gracious and accommodating when I had a last minute need for a dog sitter. He asked thoughtful questions that gave me confidence that he’d take good care of my boys. And he sure did! They had a great time with Joel. He’ll be first on my list for any future dog sitting needs!”

Patricia was great! She was very responsive when I would reach out. She house sat for us for 3 nights. We have a German Shepherd and an outdoor only cat. Both pets were very well cared for with updates. Patricia sent cute photos showing what they were doing. Our dog got to go swimming in our pool and play! It was great to just be able to enjoy our vacation and not worry about our home or pets. We will definitely ask her to house sit again.
Jazmine was communicative, attentive to our cat’s personality and needs, and went above and beyond to make sure she was well entertained and stimulated. Our cat wasn’t grumpy when we got home and seemed to really love her. Bonus: takes great photos for you while you miss your pet :)
Jenna is such a sweetheart! She watched my two pups Luna and Chico and my sister’s dog Archie at my house. She sent pictures and updates multiple times a day which was so helpful! The dogs loved her immediately and were so comfortable. I would have Jenna watch them any time!
This was our first time using Rover. Thanks to such a great experience with Christina, we'll be back! She kept us updated on our pups while we were away and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. I think they're missing her as much as they missed us!
Jacob was awesome. I needed a dog sitter for two large retrievers for a short out of town trip. Jacob was available and we set up a time to meet. Jacob was prompt and very professional. I was very comfortable with having him stay at my home with the dogs. During his stay, he was very communicative and sent lots of photographs. He didn’t mind my constant checking in from afar. My neighbors gave him their nod of approval. He treated my dogs like they were his own and that was much appreciated. They were very spoiled while under Jacob’s care. I would highly recommend Jacob. You won’t be disappointed. I look forward to having him return for future dog sitting.
Four stars all the way . Mel was so great ! We never used Rover before this time and I was a little worried. But meeting Mel and seeing how well she took care of our 11 year old Opie , I will only use Mel from here on out . Opie seems to really like her and she gave us updates the whole three days. She even cleaned and washed her towels . You can’t ask for a better pet sitter . Thank you so much Mel ! We really are happy we picked you . Michelle and Opie
Camilla watched my dog Patsy for a couple of nights while I was away for a wedding. I felt very comfortable leaving Patsy in her care and that’s not an easy thing to do as she is an old girl and reactive while on walks towards other dogs so leaving her always makes me nervous. Right away Camilla was very friendly and warm towards Patsy and I could tell Patsy liked her right away! Camilla sent me regular updates which I appreciated and helped me be able to relax while traveling. When I got home Patsy was clearly well cared for and my house was as clean as I left it. I will definitely be using Camilla again in the future and I’d recommend her to anyone who may need pet care in the future!
I have worked with Mary several times for weekend getaways but this last stay was for almost 3 weeks while I was in Europe. She is organized, reliable, and kind. She is so wonderful with my old boy Marshall. He had a health change right before I left and he needed meds. Mary stepped in without missing a beat to give him the extra care and attention he required. She sent lots of pictures and we even scheduled a FaceTime call so he could hear my voice (and I could see him). I can’t tell you what peace of mind it gave me to know she was taking care of him. And she left my house in perfect condition, as well. I highly recommend Mary. She is a Gem!
