This was my first time using this app because my family had canceled on me last minute to watch my boys and I’m glad I found Alyssa. She took care of my boys very well and had a great communication with me which was very important to me. Also sent me many pictures of my boys, and it made me feel very happy. Such a sweet individual! Definitely will book her again :)

I cannot say enough how happy we are with Katie! I have three cats; one of which is undergoing cancer treatment requiring her to give him medication. I was so incredibly nervous about leaving him for the week but Katie was amazing. I even think he gained a little weight while we were gone and I was worried he would lose. I felt so confident in Katie’s knowledge of animals that she would be able to recognize if my cancer kitty was in need of medical attention. She left such detailed updates and photos which put me at such ease every day when I knew my boys were doing well. Katie went above and beyond, she brought in mail and took out our garbage. We got home late last night to three happy cats, which is typically not the case because they get stressed out when we go away. But they were happy to see us and calm and I believe that’s because they were so well taken care of by Katie. She will be our go to pet sitter from now on.

About: I have been taking care of the pets of friends and family for years, ranging from dog-walking to week-long pet sitting. Experience with a wide range of breeds and ages. I am a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule, so I can take care of animals pretty much any time during days when I am not subbing. For sitting at other’s’ home, I try and keep the pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible! I prefer sitting in other’s’ homes just to keep things simple for the furry babies.

Angela took such great care of our 2 cats. She made sure to give them interactive play, cleaned their boxes and even got some brushing in. She was very communicative and asked so many questions to make sure she knew exactly what our cats needs were.

It was our first time using Rover and we have a cat that needs daily medication. Kayla kept us informed of how our pets were doing on a daily basis and we could see from our cameras our cats looked forward to seeing her! I have no reservations about hiring Kayla again.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and energy levels and understand that every pet has a unique routine and temperament. What sets me apart is reliability and attention to detail — I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and exercise needs carefully so your pet’s day stays consistent and stress-free. I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs that need structured walks or short jogs, as well as senior pets who require a calmer, patient approach. I adapt my care style to match your pet’s personality rather than using a one-size-fits-all routine. I currently have full-time flexibility, which allows me to accommodate morning, midday, evening, and weekend bookings. You’ll receive clear communication and photo updates so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I currently have full-time flexibility. I’m available mornings, midday, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I structure my day around your pet’s needs to ensure consistent attention and reliable service. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and maintain your pet’s normal routine for feeding, exercise, and medications. I prioritize safety, secure leashing, proper entry and exit protocols, and close supervision at all times. Your home is treated with respect, and your pet’s well-being is my first priority.

Katharine did visits for my two cats I choose her because of previous good reviews and because she had cats of her own and was previously a vet tech She did a great job of taking care of my boys and sent daily messages.

Amanda did a great job with our cats while we were away! She updated us with photos, while she spent time with them and that totally put my two daughters at ease. She also brought some large packages in from our front porch, which was a total help. We'd definitely book with Amanda again in the future. Thanks so much!
