“Jillian was so fantastic with our 2 cats! She went above and beyond our instructions, and sent us lots of pics/videos so we had no worries about our babies while on vacation. I can’t say enough good things, we’re so happy to have found her!”
“Megan (and her assistant/son, Noah) were just awesome! With a cat who is diabetic and requires twice-daily insulin shots at fairly evenly spaced intervals, I have found it extremely difficult to find someone local who is both willing and able to take on the job. Throw in a couple other indoor cats AND a couple semi-feral community cats in the backyard, and it becomes even harder to find a responsible person willing to take the assignment. Even though she doesn't exactly live next door (more like 25 minutes away), Megan adjusted her schedule to accommodate our family through the fourth of July and even tended to our garden during a ridiculous heatwave. I was thrilled to find Megan on relatively short notice and am crossing my fingers that she will once again be available to care for our brood the next time we're out of town!”
“Julia was so sweet during the meet and greet and asked many questions. She did a great job with my babies and she sent me long updates with many pics! Will definitely love to have her watch them again. :)”
“Bracey is the best in business hands down. She's so warm and welcoming that my cat loves seeing her. She quickly tackles an obstacle that may happen. Will be using her and only her many times.”
“Donna was amazing with our kitties. This is the first time using Rover and we are so happy. Donna made sure out babies were well fed, and the litter box was always clean. She sent updates and pictures, we loved that! Donna definitely cares about the pets she watches and makes sure they are well taken care of. I know I can trust her with my cats and look forward to having her pet sit again. We will definitely rebook with Donna.”
“Briana is literally the best cat sitter! She’s extremely kind, detailed, and reliable. You can tell she truly loves the pets she is helping to care for. We so appreciate her as a person!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I was the kind of kid who was obsessed with dogs and begged my dad for a puppy! I’m happy to play with your dog and run around in the backyard, take them for walks around the neighborhood, always make sure they have enough food and water, and give them all the love and attention they ask for 😊 I’m currently working part time with a different schedule every week, but I have more than enough time to make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve! While I can’t care for pets in my own home since I have a cat and a senior dog, I’m happy to care for your pet in their home! I want to be as respectful as possible in your home, so feel free to let me know any information I should know.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10 including my own along with neighbors and friends animals. I have 2 dogs of my own as of today and have trained my one dog to even become an emotional support animal for those in need. i’m currently a college student and a student athlete.My availability consists on Mondays and Wednesdays after 1pm and Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays before 5. Weekends differ based on times. I have 2 dogs myself that need lots of attention and love so it comes to me easily with taking care of any animal for me.
“Highly recommend hiring Julia for your rover needs! Julia was great communicating throughout her visits and sent plenty of photos of the pets. We ran into a snag during our vacation involving a cancelled flight and Julia went above and beyond to make sure our guys were cared for. Will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”
About: A work-from-home professional, with a perfect play date. Paco, rescued from Texas, is the perfect companion for any dog type (except dogs who hate little dogs 🥴) and will match energy for a comfortable experience. Whether your pup is old or young, sick or healthy, happy or reserved, I can guarantee you it will be as if you were caring for your pet. I’m extremely attentive, affectionate & patient with all animals and Paco is board trained! We look forward to getting to know your loved one so every experience is a great one! I work from home in product management, which provides ample time to play with or walk dogs. Paco is high energy but will match any dogs demeanor, as he’s an aware puppy who is submissive when needed. Flexibility for clients is always a priority, since I know how easily things can change. I have a fenced in yard, along with access to 2 local dog parks. My place is located between Audubon HS and grade school, a very safe and slow traffic area. Paco has plenty of toys to share and the first floor has an area to rest. My office is upstairs with another room for playing.
About: I have been a vet tech at Pennsauken animal hospital for about 3 years! I am fear free certified in dogs and cat! I am trained to handle any type of dog / cat! My schedule changed quite frequently but I am available early mornings or late nights and most weekends! I would not be able to stay at a house full time due to 8+ hour work shifts! I am pretty much able to handle anything! I am also able to assist with any animals that might need to be medicated or any friends that might be unfriendly! I am fear free certified in dogs and cats! I love to take pictures of fur babies, so expect photos!
About: I've had dogs and cats since I was born. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to take care of their animals. It makes me happy making other animals happy! I work full time, but can attend to any animal after 530p.m. On weekends, I am available for anytime, or an as needed basis for clients. My dog isn't crated. I'm willing to crate if the client prefers while they're alone in the house. I do have a fence in my backyard.
About: I love animals and grew up volunteering at my local shelter. I have experience administering medications to cats and dogs, as well as taking care of dogs of all sizes and breeds. I have a 1 year old GSD mix that I usually walk every day at the local off-leash park. I have experience with clicker training and positive reinforcement training. I take my dog to the park in the mornings around 9am. I am otherwise available for walks or drop in visits for dogs and/or cats. I always try to make the dogs and cats I care for feel loved and engaged. I make sure to play with their favorite toys if specified and provide cuddle time after play sessions. I treat your animals as I would want my own to be looked after while I am away - with care and attention to detail.
About: I've been caring for pets since I was 13; I've always had an instinctual desire to love and care for animals! I had 3 dogs of my own once and during my time with them I realized how important it is to give your dog the exercise and attention they need so that they can live a happy and healthy life! Sometimes life can get too busy to give your dog what they need, I can help by giving them walks and visits when you're unable to! I work full-time mostly in the mornings! Some days I'm off and will be able to pop in for a visit or walk! I'm more probable to be available the whole week in the evenings and night times! Just message and ask for my availability! I can care for your pet by walking them around the neighborhood! I can feed your pet and also play with them with their favorite toys!
“I prefer to book with Angelina, especially on longer vacations because she does a great job. She reliable, always shows up, and does a little extra and thinks of small ways to help.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have watched a number of dogs for friends and family. I can feed, play, walk, give meds, and anything else you may need for your pet. I love animals and always make sure they are treated well. I am a stay at home mom so I am able to help with your pet at any time throughout the day. I am very flexible. I can let dogs outside to use the bathroom if they have a fenced in yard or take them on walks, whatever is preferred. I can play outside with them as well to tire them out while their parents are away.
About: I have had at least one pet in my own home my whole life and love meeting new animals. I like to stay busy and have been able to help friends and neighbors when needed with their fur babies. I'm currently working part-time and enrolled in college part-time, but I have a decent amount of free time to give attention and care to your pets! I prefer to take care of pets in their own home. I am committed to providing care as per each individual's preferences for their own pets. I always ensure, unless asked otherwise, that the pets I care for are fed on time at least twice a day, are walked for about 30 mins or longer at least twice a day, are let out into their yard to run around if possible, I prioritize spending time playing with them and giving them space when they need it, and ensure to follow specific instructions if administering medication is necessary.

When we ask Kyle to dog sit for us, he will do everything that we request for him to do and more. My wife and I always return to a house that is the way we left it and our dogs are always very happy once we walk through the door.

Barrington cat parents share their Rover experiences
Brijana was wonderful with our senior cat, Coco! I was nervous to leave her because she needs to take a few medications consistently, but she did so well with Brijana! She was able to give Coco her medications and also spent time playing with her and giving her attention. We loved receiving updates and pictures while we were away! Brijana knows a lot about cats and dogs, so she knew exactly what Coco needed. We were completely at ease with Coco in Brijana’s care while we were away!
Sofia was once again amazing with our two cats. She is a great communicator and made sure we had all of the updates on her visits. It’s really hard to leave our special needs cat but Sofia is great with him and we know he’s well cared for. We will absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her!
We love Julia!! She goes above and beyond to care for our two cats. And after a few sittings, our shy girl has become so comfortable with Julia, a significant testament to how she cares for animals ❤️ like they are her own. Julia is communicative, responsive and thoughtful. We’ve booked her multiple times and will continue to do so — she’s our go to for cat care 🫶
Mark is fantastic! My three cats were well cared for, even the kittens who don't make things easy. He was very communicative with messages and detailed with the report cards. He always included lots of pictures for every visit and he left the house tidier than I did when I left for my trip. I would definitely book him again and I highly recommend him.
Marissa has been wonderful caring for our two cats Chonk and Chowder! She is very reliable and updates you on her visits. This is our third year with Marissa and we feel very confident when she visits and know that our kitties are well taken care of! Thank you so much Marissa:)
