“Jennifer is like the relative you ask to take care of your pet. She was as good for me as she was for my 2 cats. A very gentle demeanor that one of my shy cats felt safe enough to approach. Knowledgeable and responsive to me that I was confident in being away and knowing my cats were well cared for.”
“Margaret did a fantastic job checking in on our kitty while we were away for a week, making sure he got all the attention and playtime he needs. I loved receiving the detailed notes and pictures after each check-in! We will be reaching out to her again when we travel, for sure 😊”
“This was my second time having Catherine visit my cat Molly. Catherine is very reliable and great at communicating how well Molly is doing in my absence. I completely trust Catherine and look forward to working with her again in the future.”
“This was my first time using Rover. I was hoping that having someone check on my cats at home rather than boarding them at the vet would be less traumatic for them, and that was definitely the case! Lisa did a great job. I can tell that she spent some time playing with my more outgoing cat, because he's now OBSESSED with toys that he couldn't be bothered with before! She also did a great job checking on my shy cat, who hides from everyone. I would definitely trust my cats with Lisa again!”
“Cassandra was willing to care for my cats on extremely short notice and we did not even get to do a meet and greet in advance. Nevertheless, she was immediately able to bond with my cats and asked insightful questions and was very careful to be sure they were getting the right amounts of food and supplements. From the expression on my cats faces in the photos she sent, I can tell that the cats absolutely love her. I can recommend her highly and hope she will be willing to help us again. I think she is a cat whisperer!”
“Maya was great with our 2 dogs. She was reliable and on time for every visit. We were away for a long weekend and were very busy. Her check ins and pictures of the dogs she sent showed me they were good and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely ask her again.”
“Wonderful pet sitter. I didn’t know much about this app and kind of waited til the last minute. But Jordan was able to help me out. I got reports every day, pictures and a genuine rundown. Even though my cats don’t need much, this was huge for me because I haven’t really left them for long since moving to the area. This app and Jordan were a lifesaver”
“Marissa went above and beyond while taking care of our pets while we were out of town. It snowed A LOT and Marissa took the time to care for our home- she shoveled our front path and put down salt, and she was even so thoughtful that she put up the windshield wipers on our cars. We were dreading the conditions when we came home, but she was like a fairy godmother who made everything better!”
“Alana is great, and our cat Pablo loves her! We were out of the country for a week and there was a snowstorm back home. Alana was flexible checking in on Pablo while we worked to get the snow cleared. Your pet will love her!”
“Amanda was awesome, following all instructions and providing updates and photos after each visit. She took care of my cat while I was away and gave him lots of affection! Thanks, Amanda!”
“We are so thankful to Cara for attentively watching our two cats and chinchillas and house sitting! Everything was perfect and it was a relief to know the animals were so loved on in our absence.”
“Highly recommend!! Colleen was attentive to my cat going the extra mile to make sure she was happy and very we cared for. I can’t imagine leaving my cat or any other pet in better hands!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, especially dogs. Over the past few years, I’ve been dog and house sitting for family friends, and I’ve had experience caring for multiple dogs at once, including large breeds and high-energy pups. I’m really comfortable adapting to different personalities—whether your dog loves to run around and play or just wants to relax and hang out. I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible since I’m a student working part-time. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine as needed. Whether your dog needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I’ll do my best to make it work. Just let me know your schedule and we can figure out what works best! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure to follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines your pet is used to. I’m very attentive on walks and in the home, especially with larger or high-energy dogs, and I always keep a close eye on behavior and surroundings. I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. I’ll respect your space, keep things clean, and make sure everything is exactly how you left it when you return.
About: I have been caring for my own animals since I was 7 years old and have a large set of skills. From the smallest kitten to the largest dog, I have experience to cover any pet. I currently have freelance work blocked out on the weekends but besides that have an open schedule and am willing to adapt to others schedules. I pay close attention to an animals needs. You can be assured they will be well loved, fed on time, and have easy access to using the bathroom.
“Thank you for taking such great care of Lady! We could tell by the pictures provided that she had a great time playing in the backyard and she looks forward to hanging out with you again soon!”

Jennifer truly is a “star sitter”. She performed all services promptly and professionally and went out of her way to send pictures and updates. She was respectful of my home and I felt very comfortable with her having the access she needed. I recommend her with highest confidence and accolades.
Cassandra was such a huge help for a drop-in on my shy boy Apollo. My boyfriend and I decided to take a last minute weekend trip and she was super quick to respond and willing to feed him on such short notice! We didn’t have enough time for a meet and greet and Apollo ended up coming out for some attention on the second day, which really warmed our hearts considering they hadn’t met before. Will definitely be booking Cassandra in the future!
Margaret did a fantastic job checking in on our kitty while we were away for a week, making sure he got all the attention and playtime he needs. I loved receiving the detailed notes and pictures after each check-in! We will be reaching out to her again when we travel, for sure 😊
