“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!”
“Our cat had never been alone for extended time before. Mary was very kind, spending time with him to play and make sure that he was comfortable with her. She was reliable and tool of his needs and kept us updating with Oreo's well being, which made us feel at ease while away.”
“Julia is highly responsible and takes caring for our two dogs very seriously. She handle our needs perfectly and we highly recommend her. We will certainly use Julia again without hesitation.”
About: I’ve always had dogs of all ages and breeds in the family. It is fulfilling giving dogs their best life possible. I understand a few walks can mean so much to your dog’s week and I promise to treat them as if they were a member of my family! I have a full time job that allows me to have mornings and early afternoons off. I would be willing to work abnormal hours and consider myself to have a very flexible schedule. I have a mini golden doodle and am constantly aware of the potential dangers to her. While caring for your dog I will keep an eye out for other potential dangers that could harm them.
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats over the past 6-8 years. Most have been friend’s and family’s and now I would like to extend my support to others who may need help.

Feeding or checking in on your dogs and cats while you’re away or at work is also something I would love to help with. Let me know how I can help you take care of your fur baby when you can’t.

I provide reliable and attentive pet care services, including feeding, walking, playtime, and general companionship. I understand that pets are family members, and I am committed to ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15. I’ve dealt with a range of task when it comes to pets, and have cared for animals big to small and young to old. I am extremely comfortable with pets and even have a dog and cat of my own! Since I have pets of my own, I frequently find myself walking my dog or spending one on one time with my cat. Pet care is a natural part of my day to day life! I love to give pets and make a pet feel cared for and safe. A calm environment is sometimes all an animal needs to feel loved!
“It was a pleasure having Christina watch our Yorkie Evie. We appreciated her thorough communication and professionalism. We felt very comfortable having her dog-sit Evie while she is having a leg issue and required extra care. Evie looks forward to hanging with Christina again soon”
“Donna was great with working with me (first time Rover user) and my scaredy dog. She was very patient with my reluctant pup and by her 3rd visit, Donna had gained my dog’s trust. Donna provided clear communication and worked with me to find the best times for her visits. Thanks Donna!”
“Greg did a great job with Jack! He stopped by before his bookings for 2 meet and greets to make sure Jack was comfortable. He went above and beyond with the walks, hangouts and training. We’re excited to book Greg again and we know Jack is too.”
About: I’ve pet sat for a couple years now, my most regular customer has multiple dogs, one cat, four birds, and a ton of snakes, so I’m well equipped to watch a variety of animals! Throughout my life I’ve had multiple dogs, all different breeds, German shepherds, shih tzu’s, Boston terriers, and more, so in my opinion there’s no animal too big or too small that I can’t befriend! I’m a college student but my schedule is pretty flexible outside of classes, though during school breaks I’m completely free and I do own a car so I can travel a good distance to wherever your home resides! I will not be caring for pets in my own home, but when I’m caring in your home I’m more then happy to accommodate for whatever your pet needs, such as using a leash to go potty, or getting them to take pills if need be!
“Megan was wonderful with our Maverick! Went above and beyond to take care of him while I was away! Although he is very happy his people are home I think he is missing her now !”
About: I have had multiple dogs ever since I was 10 and have never had an issue with any of them. They know they are loved and cared for!

We have a fence at my house that allows my dog at home to have a wide open space for playing and exploring. He also receives many bones for good behavior throughout the day.

Barrington cat parents share their Rover experiences
Julia has been absolutely amazing! We’ve booked with her twice before, but this time one of our cats needed a little extra care, including oral medication and an ointment. Julia handled everything perfectly and adapted so well to our cat’s needs. She was communicative and very responsive throughout the entire stay. Knowing she was taking care of our cats gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend her!
So grateful for having found Tara - reliable, responsible, gives good visit reports, and has incredible patience trying to catch a quick photo of our shy and elusive calico! Tara has taken care of our cat a few times when we’ve been away and we trust her as our go-to. Highly recommend. Thank you Tara!
Greg was really great with our three cats! He took care to make sure everyone was ok during his daily drop ins, and was very thorough with all of the feeding and care tasks we had for him to do. Our cats loved him, he has a good way of relating to animals of all different personalities. Would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody for daily cat care.
Both kitties were in great moods when we got home. They seemed really happy with their visits and we loved all of the extra touches Jacqueline M. provided. Super happy with Jacqueline and Rover. They take the anxiety away from worrying about who will watch our kitties when we are away.

This was my first time using Rover. I usually take my cat to the vet for boarding. My cat is 14 years old and very shy so I thought I would try to leave her at home this time. I picked Julia because we live in the same town. Julia was wonderful. We had our meet and greet and she agreed to take care of my cat. She sent me pictures and updates of how things were going. Julia had to seek out my cat because she usually hides when visitors come over. By the end of the stay, my cat was brave enough to go to Julia! I was thankful for the pictures and updates. And would highly recommend Julia if you are looking for a cat sitter.
