“Kathleen was so great! Our cats had trouble eating while we were away but she kept us updated and tried different ways to see if they would eat. She put my mind at ease that they were taken care of while we were away for a week. Truly grateful!”
“David did a great job checking on our car for a recent vacation. He was reliable, on time, and even cleaned the food bowls even though we didn’t ask. Our cat seemed perfectly happy when we returned!”
“Alexandra did a great job with my cat. Quick, concise communication and did exactly what I requested. Nothing to complain about. My cat looked happy through the rover cards as well.”
“Wonderful first experience with Abbey! Great communication and my little Stella is usually so shy and barky to new people, but she warmed up instantly to Abbey on our initial meet and greet. I will definitely be booking again, thank you :)”
“Kendall was great with watching my cats!! She sent me great updates and pictures the whole time, and my cats really warmed up to her! I’ll definitely call her again next time!!”
“Scott is a cat-whisperer! He was recommended to us by another Rover sitter that we like to work with, and we are so happy to have found him too. Scott took great care of our girl and sent lots of lovely pictures of her. We’ll definitely book him again, and you should too!”
About: I’ve taken care of and been around animals of all kinds as long as I can remember. I’m always the go to person when it comes to family or friends needing someone to watch their pets. With that being said, your pet will be treated as if it was my own. I want to create an unforgettable experience for both the owner and the pet as well. I provide treats of all kinds during your pets’ stay. I also have a ton of toys that will definitely peak some interest and each pet will go home with a little something nice :) I currently work full time but my job is very flexible. I am available weekdays after 4:30 and I am also available any time on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard with lots of space to run around in. I have children that love going on walks and that love animals as much as I do.
About: I am a social worker in the schools who is looking for some fun for her kids and to teach both responsibility and the work that goes into owning a pet. I am a single mom. I have three loving children, ages 10, 13 and 15 who love to walk and play with dogs! Our fenced in back yard is perfect to accommodate your pet. We live down the street from neighborhood parks that are perfect for long walks. My kids and I love to dog sit for family members and enjoy having a dog in our home. We have more than enough time to give your dog the love and attention it deserves. We can’t wait to love your pet like it’s our own. I’m home all summer long and during the school year we are home @ 4. We love going on walks and staying active with your pups! I have a fenced in yard and want your dog to feel comfortable in our home. We love them to snuggle up on the couch and sleep where they like!
“Tena was an amazing cat sitter! This was my first time using Rover and was a bit nervous but Tena made me feel so reassured and took care of Bella just like I would. She is a great communicator, sent updates and many pictures of how Bella is doing. She is so sweet and will continue to use her to check up on Bella for me in the future! Thank you so much 💕”
“I am really glad we contacted Bettina! She was excellent with our pets and I felt really comfortable leaving with them in her care. She is very kind, knowledgeable, and communicative. Our bunny needed extra attention and she took the time to do research ahead of our meet and greet so that she would be prepared. It was easy to tell she loves animals and that she got to know both our pets and their personalties well. 😊”
“I cannot recommend Alyssa highly enough! She took great care of my two doggos Bruce and Cadet and went above and beyond my expectations. My guys can be a handful but she had no problem with them at all. Bruce and Cadet took to Alyssa instantly and had a great time with her. I will definitely be booking with Alyssa again!”
“Max was great taking care of our cats and had great communication the whole time we were gone. Also went the extra mile and helped troubleshoot our sump pump when it had an issue while we were gone. Would use again!”
“Megan was great! We have some very specific instructions for our dog's care and she followed every one to the letter, sent great pictures, and called when she had a question. She was communicative about some traffic issues and overall took great care of the pups who loved her. Would 100% book again.”
“Amanda was fantastic. She stepped in for a last minute trip. She cleaned up all the messes that my cat made. She was responsive and communicative. I felt that my cat was in very good hands. I highly recommend. Will use again! Thank you!”
“Gayle recently cared for my 2 year old kitty, Grey. She had a meet and greet with us before our scheduled visits and that was a good experience and a great introduction. Gayle is very friendly and upbeat and interacted very well with my cautious kitty who is used to a quiet life. Gayle's communication skills are superior and I really appreciated receiving photo updates on their visits! Highly recommend!”
“Sogol was nice, kind, thoughtful helpful, caring.... I could go on and on. She not only took great care of O.C., she sent pictures regularly and informative updates almost hourly! "Thank you" is not enough. Sogol is wonderful.”
“Sabrina was amazing and I will definitely rebook when my cat needs a sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure he had everything he needed and she responded quickly to accommodate my last minute request. 15/10 recommend!”
