“Lauren was amazing with our meet and greet with my little nervous pitty! She put him and me at ease immediately - definitely looking forward to booking with her again”

“Lukis was AMAZING! They sent such kind messages with their daily check-ins and made us feel completely at ease. They did a brilliant job caring for our two cats - one of whom needed a daily pill and the other who needed a daily inhaler. Even our shy cat felt comfortable with them, which is a big deal. We would 100% work with them again and again. 10/10 would recommend!”


About: I worked at Premier Pet Supply for a year and a half, and LOVE dogs!! I am also very active and am used to walking my 50lb pitbull who knows how to pull😂 I am currently a full-time student who works a part-time job! I have a cat who I love and care for, as well as my mother’s dog and numerous family friends who I enjoy pet-sitting for. I am very active so walks are always fun, and I can watch pets overnight as needed! I am in an apartment right now, so dogs would transparently be difficult to board, but in a clients home I have historically done very well! I work 7 hour days 4 days a week currently, which can be adjusted as needed for clients and their pets comfort. I am also very good at following instruction and caring for animals- I used to work at a pet store!

“MK is absolutely wonderful. She is so kind to my little cat and her schedule is flexible. I really appreciate every time she is available for bliss . Thank you.”

“Lauren takes such good care of our babies🥹and is super accommodating. We are very grateful to have someone so loving for them. She really wants what’s best for the pups, goes above and beyond. It is such a relief to know they’re in good hands.”
“We have a high maintenance multiple cat situation that Chelsea handled without a hitch. She asked great questions during our initial meet, and was prompt, attentive and kind to our cats. She gave me an update every visit along with photos of each cat so I knew they were all accounted for and doing ok. Would hire again and highly recommend.”

“We booked Ariel to take care of our 2 cats for a quick weekend trip and she took extra care of them! She provided lots of pets and play time once they received wet food and fresh water. We would recommend booking Ariel and would absolutely hire her again!”

“Heather has been wonderful to work with. She’s been prompt, careful and communicative with her visits with my pet. She’s been able to have a warm relationship with my pet despite my cat’s shyness. I absolutely plan on rebooking visits with Heather in the future.”

About: Passionate animal lover with professional pet care experience since 2018. Over the years, I've worked in veterinary clinics, grooming salons as an assistant bather, and in dog daycare settings, giving me experience with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I'm comfortable with caring for multiple pets at once, administering medications, sticking to an organized walking/feeding schedule, and providing individualized attention to each pet's unique needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, long walks, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I'm committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I make communication a priority. You'll receive regular updates and plenty of adorable photos that capture the best side of your pet's personality and daily adventures. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to providing dependable, compassionate care for your beloved companions I provide pet care full-time, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule and dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. Because this is my main focus, I am available for daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday bookings. I can accommodate a variety of schedules and am committed to ensuring pets receive consistent care, exercise, companionship, and supervision. I live in a pet friendly community in Midtown. The area includes designated pet relief stations with waste bags readily available, making it easy to keep the environment clean and comfortable. Im only a five-minute walk from a local dog park where dogs can enjoy additional activity and socialization, with owner permission. I prioritize safety at all times by keeping pets supervised, following their regular routines, and ensuring they have a clean, secure, and welcoming environment while in my care

About: Grew up with pets but can’t have my own right now. I’m looking to help others and get to have be around pets part time! I am self employed with flexible hours every day of the week. I go on daily walks so having a dog by my side would make them even better! I’m kind and gentle and pets gravitate towards me. I’m great at problem solving and always love to send photo updates of your fur babies.

“Jeannette was great with Spring Roll and would highly recommend her. Spring Roll is an old guy who does take daily medications and Jeannette was great tending to him. Got tons of pictures daily which made me feel at ease that he was being taken care of. Will definitely be using her in the future!”

“Avery was great, she gave me updates and shared photos of her time spent with Bailey while I had work commitments, giving her treats and belly rubs. I highly recommend Avery and won’t hesitate if I need her help again soon : )”

“Randi was so personable and trustworthy. She seemed happy to help us. We had no worries while we were gone and received plenty of pictures. She even gave our cat the eye drops that he needed. Was so grateful to find somebody who genuinely cares for all animals!”
“Erik watched my kitty on short notice and made the process easy. He sent updates and took great care of my car. She is a bit standoffish, but she took to Erik quickly. I will rebook with Erik on the future — thank you!”

Core City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Preti was great with our cat Nebula. She came by our place before hand and asked questions while getting to know our girl a little bit. She filled out Rover Cards with detail and let me know if something unexpected happened. Overall she was a great sitter. Will be looking to book again.

Literally so kind and so awesome, I asked for a drop in pretty last minute and Lukis was so wonderful and came through in checking in on my baby girl. I was nervous to leave her for the first time since her brother passed and Lukis was so empathetic and sweet and made me feel like it was possible to move forward (and leave the house 🤣) Really grateful, 1000/10 recommend 😻🫶

Really on top of everything, making sure she knows where everything is and the cats’ general routine before arriving, even made sure to double check with me when they got overexcited for their food. My usually shy cats warmed up to her quickly, and judging by the pictures had a great time, I’ll definitely be hiring Eleanor again when I go away.

Erik is so great with my cat. He takes great care of her and goes above and beyond to look out for my entire household. My dog has been gone the last couple of drop ins, but I look forward to Erik taking care of her too. He is clearly a natural animal lover and will care for your pet as if it’s his own.
