Has been an amazing drop in cat sitter for my beautiful little kitty! Great at communicating, on time, and follows through with commitments! I hope I never have to find another sitter! She’s the best.

Sylvia is TOP NOTCH! She is conscientious, caring, thorough, and communicative. We entrusted her with the care of our four cats while we were out of town. She followed our instructions perfectly and kept us updated with photos and detailed summaries after each visit. Unexpected bonus: she immediately gained the trust and affection of our cat Rambo, who normally runs and hides as soon as he realizes someone who isn’t me, or my significant other, is in the house. If you’re looking for absolute peace of mind while being away from your beloved pets, you’re looking for Sylvia!

Hayden was a huge help. She went above and beyond for my girl Sadie and made sure she was loved. Sadie seemed so happy when I got back. Hayden was always on time and was in constant communication with me. I will be using her again!!

It gives me peace of mind to know Julia is taking care of my animals! She’s always on time (or notifies me if she needs to adjust), and loves on everyone! Thanks again, Julia, until next time!

About: I’m Amy - a huge animal lover and would be happy to care for your pet(s) as well as I care for my own! I understand how hard it is to leave your pets while traveling or vacationing, or even during the workday, which is why I started on Rover. I have a very open availability and am flexible for walks, drop-in visits, and house-sitting. I worked in a veterinary clinic for 2 years where I learned a lot about health and wellness of cats and dogs. I also have experience administering medication, handling special needs/health issues, and basic training. I promise to provide kind, loving, patient care for your pet, and open communication! I currently have a very open/flexible schedule. Please reach out about any times/dates you may need care for your pets and I hope I can help fit your needs! Aaron (my husband) and I have one dog and two cats that we’ve had for over 9 years. We love being outside, being active and taking our dog, Bella, for walks. I am very detail oriented and promise to always be 100% respectful of your home, property, and pets.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and I absolutely love them! I’ve worked with kittens, puppy’s, full grown cats, and full grown dogs. I have bigger dogs myself, so I know how to work with them! I am currently a college student, but will be home for the summer. I’d love to make some extra money and I love all pets! I will be able to tend to your pets almost every single day as well as stay for over 30 minutes if needed! I have 4 pets myself (2 cats/2 dogs) and they get alone just fine. I would prefer to not have any extra pets at my house but I would be just fine with helping with your pets at your home!

About: Growing up I often helped fostered animals and volunteered at my local humane society. Having pets myself. My second job was working for a small practice veterinary facility as a kennel worker which taught me a lot about animal medicine. I can administer pills, shots, and provide tidy up grooming. I love going hiking, especially with dogs. I live right next to the river so river walks are always a must! After I’ve worked at several doggy day cares in MO, IL, and KY. My goal is to go to school for animal behavior! I love to care and learn from the pets I get to hangout with! My dog is very good with others and can adapt his playing style to whoever he ruffin it up with! He is a very sweet and gentle giant :) I am an early riser! I will try my best to be flexible especially for returning clients! I am mostly drop in and walks as of right now. Feel free to message for inquiry of other services! Prices have increased due to Rover fees being at almost 20%…Always feel free to message and inquire! I do not provide service in my home since I have a disabled cat. I want to put her safety first since she doesn’t have the ability to get away easily. My dog is well balanced and enjoys socializing. He can easily adapt his playing style from puppy to elder! He also is great with cats and children

About: I’ve been dog sitting off and on for the last few years. I did it all throughout college and looking to continue sitting in my post grad life. I currently work as a teacher and I am at school from 6:50-3:30. I only pet sit for animals that will be ok during those hours and don’t need someone during those times. I follow all instructions provided. I care for animals the way you would if you were here! I provide care that will keep them safe and happy until you can be home again.

Shawna took such great care of my cat while I was out of town for a week! It put my mind at so much ease getting her feedback and pictures daily. It was clear that Shawna really took the time to be intentional with her drop-in’s and really paid attention to & loved on my girl. I would absolutely rebook with Shawna again!! :-)

Mariah really helped us out when my husband and I made a last minute day trip out of town. I haven’t had the chance to meet her in person since we had already left when she confirmed she could check on dog Jett, but we look forward to meeting Mariah and using her services again. Thank you Mariah!

About: I have dog sit for many family members and neighbors, this included long walks, belly rubs, and feeding they’re dogs. I have stayed in some family / friends homes for a lengthy amount of time. I am free most days. I enjoy working out and would love to include walking your dogs in my workout. It will be fun for the both of us :) I will make sure your dog is happy and well taken care of. I am capable to make sure the house is all locked up and your dog is safe overnight.

We needed a last minute person to walk our dog. Rachel responded immediately to our messages and came the night before to meet our dog. The next day she came at the time we asked and did everything we talked to her about. Great experience with our first time using Rover.com.

I can’t recommend Chelsea enough. I’d trust her with my boy any day. He doesn’t do well with strangers and she was so patient with him. He also has IBD and had multiple bad bathroom trips and she cleaned it up and got him right every time with no complaints. She was very attentive and responsive, I highly recommend her for any animal needs :)
