“Crystal was absolutely wonderful! She really took the time to connect with my cats and make sure they had plenty of love and attention. I will absolutely book again next time I go out of town! Thanks!”
“Shawntil was great. She followed my cat's care instructions, she was quick to respond, wrote updates, and posted very cute pictures daily. I'd trust Shawntil to care for my cat again. I would recommend her if you're looking for drop-in cat visits.”
“Sarah was always on time with visits and provided a photo checkin every time. My kitties seemed to love her based on the photos and they were well cared for. Sarah was also responsive to messages prior to my trip. Thank you, Sarah! The kitties look forward to seeing you again soon!”
About: I have taken care of neighborhood and family pets intermittently throughout the years. My experience is primarily day care, which includes home visits to walk, feed, and play with the pets! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule at the moment, which allows me to dedicate the time and proper care and love towards your pets! At my client’s home, I will provide care for their pet via the instructions and information given by the client. I won’t do anything outside of the information given to ensure the pet’s safety and comfort! I will provide updates and share any concerns or questions if needed!
“This was the second time Teresa took care of my cats, and everything went as great as the first time. She spends real time with them, especially my needier cat, and I always appreciate the updates and pictures after every visit. She also gave medication without any problems, which was a big help. It’s a relief to be able to travel knowing my cats are in good hands.”
“Molly was amazing. She watched my fury crew during the coldest weather and was amazing. Came home to pets excited to me yet relaxed and calm. Highly recommend!”
“Sara did a great job with a week of daily check ins for our two cats. She was timely and was not in a rush when they needed some extra attention. Will definitely use her again!”
“Katelyn follows directions and requests perfectly. My home is as I left it! She’s come to check in on Oakley six times now and I am grateful the plan is for her to continue. She’s responsive with communication as well.”
About: I bring a calm energy and genuine love for each and every dog especially when I have a very hyper/social pug at home. I’m very patient, which helps especially shy or anxious ones—feel relaxed and secure. I focus on routines, attentive to behavior, and keeping your pets comfortable. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to providing loving, consistent care that pet owners can trust. Since moving to Minneapolis and currently having some free time. I have dedicated my time/availability to pet care and sitting at any day and time! For clients home I provide consistent, attentive pet sitting by following their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, daily walks or litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship to keep pets calm and comfortable in their own environment. I also administer medication if needed, monitor behavior for any changes, and ensure water bowls are always fresh and full. I keep the home tidy by cleaning up after pets and respecting your space. Regular updates with photos and messages help keep owners reassured while they’re away.
“Ned came for a meet and greet so I could introduce LucyLulu and show him how I feed her, what commands we use and how to get her in and out of the house and kennel. LucyLulu liked Ned and he reported she was a good girl both visits. He lives very close and it is a good match.”
About: Your baby or babies are in great hands with us! I'm an animal lover with a history of helping people take care of their fur babies. I am also more than willing and able to pick up your baby or babies if you'd like. I've had dogs and/or cats most of my life. My friends and neighbors have regularly trusted me to take care of their fur babies of varying ages, breeds, species and needs for many years. One even had 2 cats, 2 dogs and a ferret. I have about 5 years of experience fostering puppies, with the biggest litter being 5 pups and the youngest being 3 weeks. I love animals and enjoy having fun and playing with them at home, as well as walking them and going to the dog park so they can socialize and run and play with other dogs. I have administered meds both orally and by injection to both dogs and cats. I've also had a cat once that I nursed, because he was about a week old when I got him and kept him. I currently have a full time job, usually working 8-9 hours a day 4 days a week, but my partner is available to be here on days I'm at work while I transition to dog sitting full time. I have a fenced yard and a dog at home that's sweet and gets along well with other dogs. I have plenty of room to run around and play inside also. My pup has lots of toys and is good about sharing them. She's not food aggressive. We enjoy going for walks and do our best to go to the dog park every day for extra exercise and socializing. I know how to give medicine orally and by injection as I have done both in the past.
“Krista is a phenomenal sitter who takes great care of my sweet girl while I’m away. They send lots of updates and photos, and is very accommodating when it comes to key exchanges! I will be booking with them again:)”
“Kathryn was very quick to respond to messages. The dogs did well with her and our cat who doesn’t come out for anyone made an appearance letting her pet him. Will definitely ask for her to stop again in the future.”
“Jessica has been fantastic and was a great fit for my dog. I needed her for about a month and each day went very smoothly. I would highly recommend her to anyone using Rover.”
Columbia Heights cat parents share their Rover experiences
Christy was absolutely fantastic! I had to leave town for a week while one of my senior cats was sick and Christy gave me such thorough and thoughtful updates, and came up with new ideas for how to help my cat recover. I really appreciated all the photos and how quickly Christy responded. I felt like my cats were in the best hands possible, and I could enjoy my trip without anxiety. Would absolutely book her again. Thank you so much, Christy!!
Krista is a genuinely cheerful person who truly loves animals, and it shows. She is incredibly professional and precise, following all my briefing instructions perfectly and managing a somewhat complex key-handover without any issues. Not only did she ensure that food, water, and the litter box were always perfectly clean, but she also spent time giving my cat long, fun play sessions. I felt completely at ease leaving my cat in her hands
We had to find a sitter for our cats during an emergency, and we truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Sofia! She responded to us right away and was more than willing to care for our three kitties while we were out of the country. She has done an amazing job spending time with them, feeding them, giving them their medications, and even cleaning up around the house to keep everything tidy. We could also see how comfortable and happy our cats were with her, which says a lot that she’s clearly a true cat person! Sofia has also been incredibly flexible with our schedules and very respectful of our home and space. We highly recommend her, and we will absolutely book with her again whenever she’s available!
Bec does a great job caring for our cats while we’re away and they are always my first choice for cat sitting. They’re always on time and share lots of photos. They even make our shy cat feel comfortable when we’re not around. Highly recommend Bec for cat sitting!
She was amazing!!!! This was my first time ever using a sitter and I was a little bit nervous. But after the first day I knew that my babies were in fantastic hands. Both of my cats are seniors and one of them needs meds and not once was I worried about the care they were given. I would recommend her to everyone. She was outstanding. 😊
Teresa is a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter. She consistently followed our instructions and visited our cat at the same time each day, which helped maintain a reassuring routine. During every visit, she made sure food and water were properly managed, and she spent quality time playing with and grooming our cat. We also appreciated the clear and concise updates she sent after each visit. they gave us real peace of mind while we were away.
Anne always took such good care of our cat Piper. She gave us complete peace of mind, was very communicative and very professional. We recently moved away from the area so we are sad to lose such a great pet caretaker. Anne is the absolute best! Highly highly recommend!
