About: I have had animals my entire life. I have taken care of cats and dogs and rodents. I have been trusted to house sit for others and take care of many pets at once. I loved doing it every single time! I am working to be a full time artist so my schedule is very flexible. I can accept last minute jobs easily. This is my main source of income currently I have two wonderful cats at home that both get a lot of love in the ways they need. Greg is my cuddle bug who loves to be close and snuggle. Bella is my independent baby who loves pets on her terms and playing with her many toys. I also have a hamster named Rickey who has his own spoils. I can check in on small animals too, even if they’re not on the app specifically.
“Alisa was a rockstar with our pets. Everything went smoothly, our pets love her. Phenomenal communication through the Rover app. 10/10 will definitely use her to pet sit in the future!”
“Victoria took great care of Delilah when she was sick. She provided in depth updates and had no problem helping Delilah’s medication on track while I was away. I would absolutely book with Victoria again!”
“Adri did a great job watching our cat. They sent pictures and updates so we knew the cat was being taken care of dependably. I would be happy to hire Adri again in the future.”
“Macklyn was amazing at taking care of our three cats! She was great at following our directions, communicating with us, and sending adorable pictures while we were away on our trip. We highly recommend her care to any furry family!!”
“Martina was excellent! She took great care of my dog and cat, checked in diligently with pictures and details of each visit, and always responded promptly. Martina will be my first contact the next time my pets need care!”
“Scout took great care of our cat while we were on vacation. We had no concerns while we were away because we knew she was being cared for. Will definitely contact Scout again if visits are needed.”
“Rebecca did a great job with our cat! She took lots of photos and left detailed notes of how out cat was doing each day which was awesome. She is great with communication and great with pets. Highly recommend!”
“Lana did a great job with our dog Kaya! Lana came to come meet her prior to her drop-in visits and Kaya instantly made a new friend :) Definitely recommend Lana and will book her again in the future!”
“Abigail will be our #1 animal caregiver going forward. With less than a week until our wedding, Knight (our 9-month old mini goldendoodle) developed a mild case of kennel cough. Since boarding was no longer an option, we hopped on Rover and found Abigail. She came over to meet Knight and the cats, and went above and beyond our expectations. Knight had frequent visits, lots of play sessions, and tons of attention while he was at home. Abigail administered medicine, and we came home to a happy and healthy puppy (all courtesy of Abigail). We recommend Abigail unconditionally and trust her in our home with our fur babies anytime.”
“Thank you so much Lydia!! Lydia came for a meet and greet before taking care of Luna, my cat. She was so sweet and supportive, I felt at ease while away on my trip. She sent plenty of pictures and updates! Will definitely book again for any other trips :)”
“Abigail was great with our dogs! One is elderly and needs meds and special care and one is a handful! She was patient and kind and kept us well informed on our first trip after moving to the area. It was such a relief to know they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda was incredible. She was able to help us last minute by tacking on a late night drop in visit for our two babies! She provided a very detailed report card and we slept soundly knowing our pups were being well-taken care of! Highly recommend!”

Josie was wonderful and patient with my shy, senior cats. I appreciated her adaptability and willingness to handle some of my weirder requests without hesitation, like caring for my fish and refilling the salad bowl which is the only thing my cat will drink out of. Highly recommended!
After the second & third time having Alexis watch our cats, she is still just as great! She’s very thorough with asking questions, clarifying what we want, answering our questions, giving descriptions of what happened each visit as well as giving the cats a lot of attention (both pets and playtime) . It was also very difficult to give one of my cats her med as she was very untrusting, hissy and swatting at first. Alexis helped problem solve what might be most effective and was able to give her meds each time after this! Thank you, Alexis. Would definitely recommend her.
Taylor was an amazing care taker for my cat. She was reliable, trustworthy and flexible. At the last minute I asked Taylor to drop-in one extra day so we could extend our trip and she was so accommodating. Taylor gave my cat insulin injections every day and provided daily photos and a report card. I highly recommend her!
I was a bit nervous as this was my first time using Rover. My dogs had not been left in the care of someone they didn't already know well before. Scout took great care of them. One of my senior dogs has started to struggle with accidents. Harmony had an accident and Scout notified me immediately and took care of it.
Karly was great with my boys. Tiger even snuggled up and gave her a face love. Monty, who never came out of hiding for anyone came out of hiding and let Karly touch him. My sister returned with me and Monty even her let pet hm. Karly went me daily pictures and I really appreciated that - I knew from the pictures that they were ok.
Macklyn is an excellent sitter for cats! She’s very communicative, follows instructions well, and sends the best updates! She successfully managed our indoor cats’ litter robot, took care of feeding our outdoor cat as well, and played with all of our cats every day! Big bonus: she gets the best pics of them for us!! Our cats loved their time with Macklyn ❤️
Brock and Rashelle took such great care of our two guinea pigs during their daily drop-in visits. They followed all the care instructions, including giving daily medicine (oral syringe) and preparing the piggies' special dietary supplement. Totally recommend Brock and Rashelle! Look forward to having them care for our fur babies again.
