“I will have to book Jen again as my dog will sure miss her! She was wonderful and so easy to work with. Momo will definitely be sad she won’t see you as often. Thank you for all you do!”
“Rhiannon catsitted for me for a week and was amazing! Rhiannon was reliable, sent cute updates and many photos. She clearly LOVES cats so you know your cat is in good hands!”
“Natalie was perfect, she took care of my fur baby as I needed her to. I highly recommended her if you need someone to care for your furry kiddo that you can trust, and know will treat them with love! I’ll choose her again with no second thoughts!”
“Grace was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly attentive and took such great care of our fur babies. Her response time was fantastic, and she spent quality time with our cats - we could tell by how calm and happy they were when we returned! The litter box was clean, our home was tidy, and Grace was super sweet and responsive throughout. We would definitely recommend booking with her and will absolutely do so again in the future! :)”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—growing up in a home full of fish, birds, cats, dogs, and rodents taught me early on that pets are family. I truly believe every animal deserves love, patience, and attentive care. Today, I share my home with my friendly dog Birdie, who loves meeting new furry friends and makes a great playmate. My two kids are also passionate animal lovers, and together we create a safe, warm, and pet-friendly environment. I’m experienced in administering medications, whether pills, drops, or topical treatments, and I’m happy to support pets with special needs. I also offer daily walks for exercise and enrichment, and I’m comfortable with crate training if it’s part of your routine. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or relaxed, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own. I work full-time during the week, but on my weekends off, I love spending my time caring for animals. Pet care has always been a part of my life, and I’m excited to offer reliable, loving support to fellow pet parents when I’m available. Whether it’s weekend drop-ins, walks, or cuddles while you’re away, I’m here to help give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is fully pet-friendly and thoughtfully pet-proofed to ensure a secure environment. I use baby gates to create designated pet areas, so dogs can have their own space or be kept out of certain rooms when needed. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard—perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Fresh water is always available in multiple areas of the home to keep pets hydrated throughout the day. Whether your pet loves to run or relax, they’ll have a secure, comfortable, and caring space to enjoy.
“Sarah and her family took great care of our two cats. When we arrived home from an overseas trip, they were happy and healthy and acted like we never left. Thanks so much to you and your children for taking excellent care of our cats!”
“Jennifer took amazing care of our cats on VERY short notice when we'd never worked with her before. On top of that, she administered medication to our cat who was still recovering from illness! She's a fantastic pet sitter and I would never hesitate to leave our animals in her care. Thank you Jennifer!”
“Amy was great! I could tell see really cared about the cats. She did an amazing job catering for my more shy cat, making sure she got food even though she was hiding.”
“Justin stopped in to feed our cats a couple times over a weekend. when we returned, the cats seemed completely un-phased by our absence, which is always great! We will definitely reach out to Justin again.”
“Mersadies left amazingly detailed visit notes and paid great attention to the care my cats needed (both required medicine for part of the time she cared for them). I appreciate her lots!”
“She was great with my pup Benji! He wasn’t feeling the greatest when she came for her check in and she knew exactly how to help. Definitely use Emma, she will treat your pet well!”
“Ben provided excellent care for our dog and cat while we were on vacation for a week! He did 3 drop-in visits a day, arrived on time, and provided pics and videos. THEN, when our flight was delayed and we were stuck for two additional days, he covered those visits as well, which was amazing as we were already under a ton of stress due to the delay. We will definitely book Ben again and highly recommend.”
“Brittany was kind, friendly, and great at communicating. She paid attention to details and even offered to help with extras beyond the cats. I’d recommend her to anyone needing a reliable sitter.”
Capitol pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alexandria was very attentive and nice when we did our meet and greet. Our cats are high maintenance (multiple food additives, a very picky eater, etc.), but Alexandria took care of it all. They even were able to give my one cat his pill and administered his inhaler, which they said they have never done before. It can be a little daunting, so I really appreciated they were willing to give it a shot and did so successfully. They sent lots of photos and even did the dishes before they left, which was definitely not an expectation. They noticed one of the microchip feeders stopped working right, and immediately messaged me and did all the steps to try and get it fixed. I made an oopsie and didnt add that I needed Alexandria to check in on the weekend. They were able to catch that and checked in with me to make sure someone was coming. I didnt have anyone, but they were able to make 2 hour long check ins for the whole weekend. I appreciate Alexandria's thouroughness, attentiveness, and the small extra things they did to make my cats as comfortable as possible for the entire week we were gone. We greatly appreciate you, Alexandria!
Christine is a very friendly person and a wonderful pet sitter! This is the second time we asked her to check in on our cat Kuzya. Everything went great, and she easily found approach to our cat who is usually suspicious towards new people. Thank you so much for your help!
Sierra did an amazing job with my very nervous kitty! By the end of the week the cat was showing her belly, playing, and asking for pets! Really speaks to Sierra’s gift and patience. Great communicator, willing to go the extra mile to make my pet happy. 10/10 would recommend!
Seanna is absolutely awesome and took such good care of my sweet kitty! She is so attentive to details when filling me in on how he is doing, and takes so many pictures which is much appreciated when I am missing my baby. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for a pet or house sitter!
Vanessa is a pleasure to work with - relaxed, pleasant and professional: she gave me confidence that my beloved critters would receive competent and reliable care. The app facilitated an easy exchange and the photos at each visit are a comfort. Vanessa will be at the top of my list to ask for assistance next time I’m leaving town.
Mary is wonderful! We hired her to check on our cat, Kirree, last minute before going out of town for a weekend, and Mary was responsive, trustworthy, and enthusiastic. She shared clear and descriptive updates and pictures from her visits with Kirree. She seems to have a way with cats and Kirree was thrilled to see her. I will definitely hire Mary again.
Sarah was amazing with my cat Oliver! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while I was away. She kept me updated, took great care of him, and somehow left my apartment even cleaner than I had left it. I came home to a very happy cat and a spotless home!!
Alex was great and took wonderful care of my K9 child. He was great about communicating and providing photos during check-ins etc. I would highly recommend Alex as a trustworthy, professional pet sitter to take care of your fur babies while you’re away. Will book him again!
Working with Abigail has been incredible. Her attention to detail, compassion and communication has made being away from our cat for the weekend the least stressful possible! I would highly recommend her to anyone especially if you are super anxious about leaving your pet like me!!
