Was incredibly attuned to my lil anxious Winston, provided consistent helpful feedback & was just overall a perfect pet sitter for my baby boy! I was nervous using rover for the first time, and Rachel exceeded my expectations & went above and beyond. Will be working with her again!

About: My family has had dogs and cats my whole life and I’ve always been very involved in their care process. I am familiar with the often complicated needs of an older pet, or many animals at once; I pride myself on my organization and attention to detail. I’m currently far from home and missing my pets, so you can trust that I will treat your animals as if they were my own— this is as much for you as it is for me! My schedule varies day to day, but the majority of commitments can be done on my time, meaning I have plenty of time for your pets! I am close to my college campus, where there is lots to sniff and space for shady walks. I can meet any specific needs such as crating your dog or maintaining the routine you have set up for your pet.

Samantha is an AMAZING pet sitter. Not only was she amazing with our cats, making them extremely comfortable and successfully administering medicine to our finicky kitty, she took great care of our apartment during a cold spell. She goes the extra mile to provide peace of mind with detailed check ins and pictures. Would highly recommend!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep compassion, patience, and experience with dogs who need extra attention—especially those with anxiety or special routines. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, puppies, and pets who struggle with separation anxiety. My own dog, Sasha, has anxiety, so I understand the importance of gentle care, consistency, and emotional support. I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away. Whether your pup needs long walks, slow introductions, or just a cozy lap to nap on—I’ve got you covered! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have Mondays and Tuesdays off, which gives me plenty of time for daytime walks and drop-ins. On other days, I’m able to fit in visits between school and work—and I don’t mind doing late-night drop-ins if your pet needs evening attention. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I’m happy to make it a priority in my schedule. I’m dependable, flexible, and always focused on making pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I only offer pet care in the client’s home because I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to provide reliable, stress-free care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind.

Juanita is always so great with my cat, and I’m so thankful! They are kind, super aware of my cat’s body language and preferences, and they really invest in getting to know my cat for exactly who she is. I know my cat trusts them and knowing that Juanita is taking care of her makes going away easier. And Juanita writes really great recaps and pictures too. Thanks Juanita!!

Hillary was a great find in the "eleventh hour" of my search for service. She dropped in and took really good care of my dog while I was far away for the day. I felt confident from our first texts and Hillary's generous effort to come to my home for a meet n greet. Hillary followed through with great communication, lots of photos and follow up texts. I would call her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her services ! Thank you so much!

Paige did a great job taking care of my cat while I was gone. She was very attentive and asked a lot of questions to make sure Meeko was getting the best care. Everything was very clean when I got home and I could tell that Meeko was well taken care of. I would definitely have Paige care for him again.

Zhao is an ideal cat sitter. She closely follows instructions, takes time to connect with your cat, and sends the best photos and videos. I loved her daily videos and report and could see that my baby was being cared for so well! I could also see that he adored her. She would gently brush him during her visits and he was in bliss, purring and showing his tummy. I think Zhao may be one of his newest favorite humans.

Julia has helped watch my cats multiple times over the last year, and she has consistently done an amazing job. I appreciate her punctuality, quick responses, and the effort put into each check-in card. On her most recent visit, she went above and beyond, brushing my cats and cleaning up some messes. My experience with Julia has been distinctly different from other sitters on rover in all of the best ways, and that is why I keep going back. Highly recommend her for your pets as well!

Karen really made sure my shy and elderly kitties got their medication. Sweety requires oral gel on her paws two times a day and has just decided that is so yesterday, making it not an easy task. Karen was able to get Sweety to take her oral medication 2x per day, which can even require a game of chase. My Kitties have trouble keeping weight on with their age and other health factors. I came home to plumper happy and calm kitties! I HIGHLY recommend Karen.
