2. Arin M.


“We are officially done with week 1 of me going back to the office and Arin taking care of our high energy 14 week puppy during the lunch hour and things have been great! Arin always provides updates and has been very patient as we work through all of the training and teething going on at this stage. :)”


3. Jeffrey H.

“This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we found Jeffrey. He took such great care of our diabetic cat so we could rest easy on vacation.”


4. Amanda M.


“Amanda was phenomenal with taking care of Indi while I was out of town. Indi was feeling very sick and Amanda gave consistent updates and went above and beyond to help take care of her and make sure she was as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much Amanda, will definitely be rebooking for the future!”


5. Elijah S.

“Elijah was great! Took wonderful care of my cat. Ran out her energy with every visit, let her take time to acclimate, and even went out on the catio with her. I can tell he’s a loving cat parent and passes that care on to his rover animals too!”


6. Kristen C.

“Kristen is a gem of a person and so attentive to our dog, Skye. She sends lots of updates and pictures and is also very funny. She is great to work with and I totally trust her with our furbaby.”


7. Thomas C.
About: For most of my life, I have owned, loved, boarded, fostered, and/or cared for a broad range of animals, including dogs (small and large), cats (domesticated and feral), hamsters, rabbits, chickens, fish, one gerbil, one parrot, and a handful of reptiles. (I've also spent some time on farms learning husbandry.) From this comes experience with the full cycle of life with companion animals - birth, adolescence, training, advancements, setbacks, accidents, illness, aging, and loss. I'm no stranger to providing extra potty breaks for puppies (our interests are mutually aligned) or with giving daily medications. For the first time in many years, my home is without a pet of my own - let me dote on yours when you can't. I'm a retired(ish) attorney and veteran now working from home with plenty of time and attention to give to your fur babies. Regular walks and exercise are an important part of our routine. My property is ~ 2 acres, large portions of which are fenced but couldn't be properly described as secured. Your dog's temperament will determine whether it can roam / play / fetch unleashed, but in no event will dogs be outside unattended. Inside, I try to make my home as welcoming and comforting for your pets as I would hope would be done for mine - animals are allowed on the furniture and are invited to sleep where they please, unless you instruct otherwise.


8. Kay C.

“Kay is phenomenal! She is responsive, knowledgeable, and provides amazing communication and very funny updates! I never had to worry about the care she gave to my cat, even when I was so far away :) Thank you, Kay!”


9. Cassie S.

“Cassie was amazing, she is a loving caring young lady. If I could give her 10 stars I would. I highly recommend her. She took excellent care of my puppies with lots of love and fun. She also took great care of my house so all I had to do when I came home was to love on my puppies and unpack and relax.”


10. Audrina F.

“Audrina is fantastic! I honestly cannot say enough good things about her. She is the first cat sitter I’ve had for my cat, so I was a little nervous, but she put my mind at ease. The updates and pictures were wonderful and I just know she took care of my cat like he was one of her own. I would definitely recommend Audrina to everyone!”


11. Alexis M.

“Alexis went above and beyond on the tasks requested and even stayed extra time with my cats which was very kind of her! She was punctual and responsible and my cats warmed up to her immediately. I was able to have peace of mind during my trip. I would definitely rebook with Alexis and recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.”


12. Ana R.

“As always Ana did an amazing job! She is my go to person for caring for my kitties. She is great at communicating and keeps my mind at ease while I’m away. Thank you so much!”


13. Kiera F.

“Kiera was great with my cats! I was nervous to leave them alone for the first time to go on vacation but as soon as she came over to meet them, I knew they'd be in good hands. My orange cat loves everyone but my black cat is very shy and doesn't let everyone pet him, and he immediately took to her. She sent tons of cute pictures of them when she went in to feed them and truly treated them like they were her own. Next time I travel I'm definitely reaching out to her again!”


14. Jordan J.


“Jordan is an absolute gem. We hire her every time we are out of town and our cats (one of whom has get a get an insulin shot very 12 hours) are so well cared for. 10/10, definitely book her!”


15. Tess W.

“Tess was a great cat sitter for our two boys. She was able to give one of our cats pills at each visit. Very happy with the level of care she gave our pets. Highly recommended!!”


16. Whitney S.
“Whitney is the sweetest, most caring pet sitter I’ve ever had! She pays attention to my cat’s needs and makes sure to spend quality time with her. It makes my day when she sends me photos of my cat while I’m away. :) Her attention to detail and sincere care for animals make her the best pet sitter I could ever ask for!”


17. Piper G.

“Needed someone to do drop in visits in a pinch and Piper came through big time! Lola loves her and she is always very comunicative! Definitely would recommend 👍🏻”


18. Alexander S.

“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”


19. Lindsay T.
“Lindsay is an excellent pet parent to her two special needs pets (cat and dog) and has an incredibly caring, responsible and loving attitude towards animals that makes me recommend her to anyone needing a sitter/walker. Before she moved out of state, she was my go to for the past 10 years for my two cats whenever I was out of town. Lindsay is friendly, all pets love her, and she will make sure yours are well taken care of always!”


20. Elisabeth H.
