“WOW! Aimee took such great care of our kitty while we were away. She came for multiple daily visits and sent detailed updates with great photos. She truly went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our cat was well taken care of and I felt so much better knowing Aimee was there for her. I will absolutely be using Aimee for any future travel.”
“Ameera was fantastic! I looked forward to her cute reports, which felt like little stories from the day. Through the pictures and videos she sent, I could tell my cat was truly happy playing with her. It gave me such peace of mind while traveling. Exceptional care for the furry ones ✨”
“Jennifer took great care of our cat. She followed the instructions and gave us timely updates; she took her time and slowly built trust with our cat. We are glad that our cat was able to make a new friend! We would definitely use her again!”
“Shannon was an amazing choice for a puppy visit! She kindly took care of my high energy 10 week old puppy for 30 min when I had to go to the office. She was very responsive and followed all instructions. Wrigley was lucky to have her help!”
“Cannot recommend Riley enough! She is super reliable, dependable and so great with my two cats. They are typically very shy but they warmed up to Riley quickly which gave me such piece of mind while being away. Riley sends detailed updates and lots of pictures on each Rover Card. Thank you so much!!”
“Maria took wonderful care of my cats. She was very flexible with her availability as I was waiting for a family member to be released from the hospital. I am thankful for her help.”
“Paul was responsive and incredibly communicative. I needed to take a last-minute international trip. Within a few hours, we were able to schedule a time for Paul to take care of Clementine. I am definitely using his services again the next time I have to travel.”
“Absolutely excellent. We went on a long trip to Asia and the biggest thing for me was that I could actually enjoy my trip because I knew they were in great hands. She walked our dog daily in addition to playing with her outside in the backyard and really helped get her energy out and quality time. She was patient and kind with our cats and did an excellent job in finding ways to get them to take their medicine (3 of the 4 cats take medication). She cleaned our house throughout the stay but did a final clean on the day we got back and that was such a huge plus for us. It was nice coming home to happy animals and a clean house in order. So happy we found Tara and can’t wait to have her pet sit again.”
“Brittany was great and Kramer loved her!! She was also so helpful with Kramer’s special instructions (since she was just spayed)! We will definitely use Brittany again!”
“Iryna was fantastic! She was very professional - it was obvious that she is confident in what she is doing and she's been doing it for a while. She was so detailed on her notes for every visit so we knew exactly what was going on with our cats while we were gone. She sent so many photos and it honestly eased a lot of the anxiety that comes with travelling when you have to leave your pets at home. She is amazing!”
“Simone did a great job with my dog Lily and my two kittens!! She took lots of photos and videos, my pets looked very happy! She also had some great notes and I will definitely be reaching out to her again for care!”
“Javkhlan is the best! She left a detailed (and funny) summary of the visit and it put my mind at ease. My puppy had peed in her crate and Javkhlan was kind enough to clean it up and wipe off her paws. She was also so sweet with my cat - a true animal lover. Thanks Javkhlan!!”
“Aly has consistently showed up for us when we need her most! She treats our pup well and is thorough in her reports for how our dog is doing. We appreciate her so much & recommend highly!”
“Megan has been great with our two dogs! She is very reliable and calm. Our dogs love her and we know they’re in good hands!”
About: Back in my college days, I worked in a dog daycare with dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes. Before Rover, I mostly pet sat for my friends and family. In addition, I have 14 of experience caring for my own dogs. I understand the struggles that come with leaving your pet with a stranger so please rest assured that your fur baby will be well taken care of. I will always treat your fur baby with lots of love and kindness and adhere to your instructions to the best of my ability. I currently work a 9-5 at a hospital. I have the flexibility to work from home 3x a week so I’m able to do drop ins and walks on those days. In addition, I am available most weekends and holidays. It is always helpful to have written instructions on how to care for your pet. For example, activities they enjoy most, things they absolutely hate, or undesirable behaviors to look for. Let me know their daily routines so I can do my best to make they feel like they’re with family and not just some stranger.

“Dominique helped me a lot by caring for my dog while I was away. He was punctual and always provided updates. Will definitely be my go to dog sitter!”
“My cat Hannah was well taken care of and in good hands while I was away! Lisa gave great drop-in visits and left Rover cards to keep me updated. Thanks for a reliable service!”
“Stacy is a great communicator and took great care of my two cats. I was at ease during my trip knowing Stacy was there to check in on my boys. Thank you Stacy!”
