Vacation time just got better knowing Lizzy is staying with our 2 older cats. Having her stay at the house is worth the piece of mind that they are well cared for while we are away. Lizzy clearly loves animals. She is extremely responsible, and sends regular, detailed updates and photos. We'll definitely be checking her availability before booking trips in the future! :)

Thank you so much for looking after Draco! I know dealing with a high energy dog can be challenging but you conquered the task well! Draco looks very happy when he’s with you and I came back home with him in great spirits. Thank you again!

About: I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. I currently look after a senior dog who requires scheduled pee breaks, support with mobility, and two easy going snuggly cats. My experience includes short-term and long stay with both mixed pet homes and single pet homes. Cat care included feeding schedules, litter cleaning, and plenty of lap time. I am comfortable with senior pets, pets with medical needs, and busy multi-pet households. I prioritize routine and attention to their wants. I work online with a deeply flexible schedule, I can interrupte what I do at any moment. Caring for your pets is my privilege and joy. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routine exactly as you set it. I’m a long-time homeowner myself, and I treat your space with the same respect and care I expected in mine. Clear routines & structure • I follow your schedule for feeding, walks, medications, movement support, and bedtime routines. • I confirm details like coat/boot use, leash type, walk length, and whether your dog needs structured play or a run. • I maintain established routines between multiple pets, including safe feeding order and supervised interactions. Home safety & respect • No guests ever enter your home. • I am a quiet, low-impact presence. • Doors are locked, areas of the house you specify are avoided, and I follow your nighttime routine for pee breaks and house security. • I tidy as I go and leave your home as I found it. Pet-specific care details • I confirm treat limits, what behaviour they’re used for, and any food or item that must remain inaccessible. • I ask about any recent food changes, sensitivities, or mobility concerns. • I monitor subtle changes—energy, appetite, bathroom habits—and communicate anything noteworthy. Cleanliness & preparedness • I ask where cleaning supplies, vacuums, or mops are kept in case of spills or accidents. • Litter, food areas, water bowls, and pet spaces are kept clean and consistent. Communication & emergencies • I provide daily updates and will clarify any instruction necessary to ensure accuracy. • I follow your emergency plan, including your preferred veterinarian. • Cameras, alarms, or home-specific systems are respected exactly as directed. My goal is simple: your pets feel secure, your home is respected, and your instructions are followed with precision.

About: I've had pets for most of my life and currently have a support dog. I'm looking to provide a pet walking service and drop in care. I have experience working at a dog day care center in addition to preparing pets for a wash and haircut. My schedule is currently open 7 days a week. I am an art student working on my portfolio; so I have a lot of spare time to spend with my dog. I have a medium sized backyard that I play with my shihtzu Malfoy, we go on walks daily and he loves to chase the neighborhood squirrel. He has a daily medication routine and afterwards we tend to play fetch.

Kara was amazing! Her commitment to ensuring our kitten felt comfortable and loved was truly commendable. She adhered to the feeding and play schedule diligently; her attention to detail in understanding our kitten's preferences and quirks demonstrated a genuine passion for her work. The updates and photos she sent were a delightful touch, offering us peace of mind while we were away. It's evident that she went above and beyond, creating a positive and nurturing environment for our kitten. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals shine through in every aspect of her service. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring companion for their pets.

About: I have a lot of experience taking care of different animals throughout my life, raised my mom's puppy (the poodle you can see in some of my pictures) and I've taken care of my best friends cat ever since I was 7/8 years old and I've always loved all animals. I'm happy to go for really long walks and play with animals for as much as they need. I'm currently between jobs so I have plenty of time to take care of any pet that needs love and attention, and if I do find a job I'll still have plenty of time to take care of your pets as I love beeing outdoors and going on walks :) I will always be available to play and walk with your pet (if it is a pet that needs walks). I'll make sure your pet gets the care and love they deserve :)

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was a child. I currently have 2 cats who are chill and calm. I work from home most of the days in a week. When I'm busy either at home or outside, i'll put on meditation music for the pets. and when I'm at home, I'll entertain them with my music! My pets and I would love to make new friends in our furry home! I’m experienced in dog, cat sitting, including senior pet care, and experience in bird feeding. I monitor not only the pets daily activities but also their emotions as it can be tough to be at a different place so I make sure they feel here as home. Our service features customized care to individual pets and frequent daily updates to the owners. We provide free trial nights for new pet boarding. I work from home During the week, and for most of the weekends. My work office is 5-min drive away so if there is an emergency, I'm able to make flexibilities. I usually put on soothing music during the day when they are sleeping mostly and entertain them when I'm off work with toys or playing music instruments. I'd also love to sit your cats and dogs according your preference, e.g. if you requires special diet, etc. For cats specifically, I usually do not let my cats out. Occasionally I would sunbath them on my deck in the backyard in the summer, no outings during winter. For dogs specifically, we take them to the 2 dog parks just walking distance. I make sure all pets get the needed attention and ‘petify’ my home to give a loving environment😃 Our service features in active communication with the pet owners on their pets daily status, in videos, pictures. I’m quick to respond and flexible.

Lizzy has watched Aura many times and every time I'm even more blown away with how much care, love, and detail she gives to our little, spicy girl! This extra long trip overlapped with Auras 2nd birthday and Lizzy really made sure to make it special even though "Mom and Dad" weren't there. Lizzy really will love your pet as if they're her own! Her attention to detail, organization, and care can't be beat!

Shannon is absolutely amazing. It was our first time using dog/house sitter services and we were a little nervous. Shannon put us at ease from the moment we met her. She is responsible, detail oriented, conscientious, and loves dogs. From the caring messages and photos she sent us every day, to the spotless house we came home to, Shannon exceeded our expectations in every way. She took exceptional care of our house and dog for a week, and we would not hesitate to do it again.

At first I was nervous to use the Rover service as it was my first time and I wasn't sure what to expect. Sarah soon put all my fears to rest. During the meet and greet, my dog wouldn't leave her side. It was clear she was a true animal lover. Sarah house sat for us and took care of our dog while we went on a trip to Mexico. She provided pictures and updates and when we got home, it was clear my dog was happy and relaxed. My house was left clean and tidy and the experience was everything that I could have asked for. I highly recommend Sarah and would have no reservation about rebooking her in the future.
