About: I have several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets of friends and family. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for! I’m currently doing online college, majoring In Biomedical Science! Because of this, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for pet care throughout the week and (or) weekends! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, house-sitting, and I have reliable transportation. I love staying active and spending time with fur babies, so this fits perfectly into my routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be one of my top priorities. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, grooming, walks, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every animal has different types of needs and personalities, so I always take time to make them feel safe and relaxed. I also love to send updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy and in good hands! 🐾
“Ally took wonderful care of our two kitties. She is super communicative and provided detailed updates each day. She went above and beyond - taking lots of pictures and cleaning up after our kitties. We would highly recommend her!”
“Allison is AMAZING! She provided detailed updates of our cats every day of our long trip, including multiple pictures and any updates regarding medication administration, their overall demeanor, and their level of sass (which is important to us, haha). She did two practice runs of medication administration for our senior cat before our trip, as well, which we are immensely grateful for!”
“Skylar did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats while I was away for 2 weeks on business. My cats warmed up to her quickly. The care was complicated by some medical issues with my cats, and the fact that I had just recently moved to a new place, but she handled everything fantastically and kept the cats happy and healthy”
“I feel so lucky to have found Rachael to check in on my two cats every day while I was away for 10 days. She’s super communicative and reliable and I would recommend to her anyone and be so happy to work with her again.”
“Sequoia was fantastic and took the time to play with each of our two cats along with making sure they were fed and had water while we were away. Even managed to get our moodier cat to run around and play. Gave us great peace of mind. Highly recommended!”
“Shuhuan is a so kind and professional pet sitter. She took care of our two cats while we were in a week-long business trip. She always came to our house at the scheduled time frame, and played around with our two cats together. She even helped us to adjust the auto feeder clock during the daylight saving time begins on Sunday. It seems like both of our two cats like her very much!”
“Thank you Katelyn so nicd to have a reliable person to help me with my senior cat. I really appreciate you bringing in my mail and amazon boxes and watering my plants I will be booking you for all my trips.”
“I am so happy that I chose Grace to take care of Puck. He is 14, blind and quite shy, used to being with just me. I could tell from the pictures that Grace made friends quickly with him and provided lots of cuddles and “pets”. I will definitely book her again as she is a 10 out of 10!! Thanks Grace.”
About: Hello, I’d love to help you with your pet needs and give your pets lots of love, potty breaks, exercise and make sure they are cared for, happy and safe when you are not home. I love animals! I’ve had dogs my whole life. I grew up with Chihuahua’s. Our family had several over the years. Then I had a Cockapoo who lived to 16 yrs old, he was sick, but we cared for him and he still lived a long wonderful life! I currently have a 6 year-old chocolate lab named Maggie. She’s super energetic and brings a special love to our home. We also have a new member to our family, a cat named Suma…she’s beautiful and very playful! I'd describe my personality as kind, caring, organized, and helpful. I’m currently available for early morning, drop-in visits, also quick 30 minute lunch break visits and/or anytime after 5pm to care for your pets! I provide reliable, attentive care by following each pet’s routine and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their own home.
“Jacob was extremely detailed and asked questions I hadn’t thought of in order to make sure my girl had the most positive experience! I am extremely pleased with Jacob’s work.”
“Molly is absolutely amazing with our lab puppy. Worked with us for both weekly drop in visits and helped out on the weekends. Couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter!”
“Jordynn has helped us out with drop-in visits for Bao Bao on a couple of occasions now, and he appears to be smitten. As Bao Bao was staying home alone, the extra attention Jordynn gave him was very much appreciated, and the many updates she sent us allowed us to actually relax while out of town, which is nice for a change. Looking at all those pics of Bao Bao being hugged, petted and kissed, he's obviously made his choice of preferred sitter! Two enthusiastic thumbs up. :)”

Arcola cat parents share their Rover experiences
Natalie was great with the cats and taking care of them while we were gone. There’s not too many people outside of family we trust taking care of our pets. Natalie made sure to administer Harley’s medicine as needed and took time to interact with them. Would highly recommend Natalie to anyone and would use her in the future
Allison provided my 16 year old sweet kitty with loving care during my 5 day trip away. My cat isn’t used to my being away overnight so I was a little concerned about how he’d handle it. Allison made 2 drop-in visits every day. She sent me detailed reports of how he was acting and eating, as well as, multiple pics of him after every visit. He looked pretty content in the pics and when I got home he seemed like his old self. But especially happy to see me. Allison is a cat lover who I would highly recommend.
Skylar did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats while I was away for 2 weeks on business. My cats warmed up to her quickly. The care was complicated by some medical issues with my cats, and the fact that I had just recently moved to a new place, but she handled everything fantastically and kept the cats happy and healthy

She even helped us to adjust the auto feeder clock during the daylight saving time begins on Sunday. It seems like both of our two cats like her very much!
Valerie took great care of my cat for a whole week. I felt comfortable since she sent detailed descriptions of what they were up to, and I loved the pics including a festive new year pic!! I will continue to pick Valerie as my first choice cat sitter since she is reliable and my cat loves her.
