1. Celeste C.
“Celeste took great care of our elder cat Audrey and sent great photos and updates each day. She also took the initiative to learn about Audrey's needs ahead of time. I believe that she is a true animal lover and we look forward to having her back in the future.”
2. Madeline B.
“Madeline did a great job watching our 1 year old Zuko. She was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures! Even dealt with getting into our apartment after we had accidentally locked the door. Would recommend!”
3. Zsa-Zsa R.
“Zsa Zsa was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to care for Dinka. The visits were during a period of high heat and she conscientiously checked the temperature each day to make sure the home didn’t get too hot for my cat. She is kind and patient with cats, and very communicative and responsible. I highly recommend her as a catsitter!”
4. Melina B.
“Melina is great with all of our pets! She kept us updated and sent photos of all four pets for each drop in. My dog loves her and even the shyest cat comes out to see her during her visits.”
5. Natalie B.
“I appreciated the detailed, but brief, updates from Natalie, as well as multiple pictures. Natalie was patient and kind with our cat who can be a bit skittish. Came home to a happy kitty. Thanks Natalie!”
6. Devyn M.
“Devyn takes such good care of my cat! She always sends lot of pictures and gives her lots of cuddles. It’s great to know my girl is in good hands with Devyn when I’m gone!”
7. Korin M.
“Korin was amazing with our dogs. They can be a little hesitant of strangers when they first come but she did an amazing job adapting to their personality and caring for them. Will book again!”
8. Jaqueline P.
“Jaqueline is simply amazing. She made sure to follow Milo's complicated feeding instructions and her daily updates with cute photos were such a comfort during a stressful time. When I got back, Milo was happy and relaxed, which told me everything I needed to know about the quality of care he received. I wholeheartedly recommend Jaqueline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
9. Lisa B.
About: I've only taken care of my friends animals, but wanted to make some extra cash and figured signing up for Rover would be a great idea. I love my cats and would provide the same amount of love for your pets. I work full-time Mon-Friday but happy to stop in before/after work to feed the pets and open on the weekends. I can accomodate most schedules except for middle of the day M-F. I love my cats, i feel like they are more spoiled than most pets. I'd provide the same level of care to your pet! I make sure my cats have plenty of filtered water ( i have 3 fountains around my house) and clean litter boxes daily.
10. Ainsley C.
“Ainsley was very accommodating to our dog Benny. Sometimes I get called last minute to pack up and head out of town for my meetings, and Ainsley was always quick to respond in a timely manner. Often times it seems like Benny doesn't want him to leave, so that has been quite reassuring.”
11. Eva H.
“Eva is a pet lover through and through. She has been around dogs and cats her whole life and you can tell in the gentleness as well as the understanding she brings to engagements with furry friends. She is importantly also responsible, detail oriented, and thoughtful.”
12. Gordon P.
“Hiya! Gordon just took care of my dog for 3 nights while we were out of town and I couldn't be happier with the care and attention she received. His manner with my dog was patient, calm, attentive, and always kind. Dax is an energetic Aussie who is frankly a LOT to handle and she clearly had a wonderful and easy time at Gordon's house. He kept her on her exercise schedule, made sure she had her special diet and meds, and did a great job of managing her energy. She was not bouncing off the walls when we got her home and that's a huge credit to him for giving her the attention she demands. I will absolutely ask him to watch her again next time we need a dog sitter.”
13. Jj J.
“I had a great experience with JJ looking after my fur child. He can be a scaredy cat with strangers but he took to JJ right away! I appreciated the detailed updates and pics.”
14. Amelia B.
About: I take great care of my own two cats plus foster kittens! I have experience with young kittens as well as adult cats. I genuinely love cats, care about their well-being, and will care for yours as if they were my own! I take on temporary roles in the city with weeks in between contracts, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your kitty! I believe playing, socializing, and providing affection, as well as feeding, are essential components of cat sitting. In the past, I have handled emergency situations with my own pets, from vet visits to evacuating our home. You have my assurance that, should it be necessary (and hopefully it won't be), I am prepared to care for your pet during difficult times and communicate with you every step of the way.
15. Cassandra L.
“Cassandra is fantastic and our boys love her!”
16. Maia N.
“Maia was great with our super shy 10 month old kitties. She provided prompt communication, adorable photos, and took good care of our home. We're looking forward to having her back here again soon. Thanks Maia!”
17. Susan P.
“Susan was prompt and kind. I could really tell she cares about dogs. She asked great questions, making sure she knew everything she needed to know to properly care for Lucy. Highly recommend!”
18. Elisa E.
“Elisa took great care of my cat while we were away. Although my cat is very shy she took to Elisa on day 1 and was well taken care of when we got back!”
19. Joseph T.
About: I have owned 2 large dogs for 8 years now and have lived around dogs my whole life. I have an excellent understanding of dog temperament across many different breeds and love to walk and care for dogs of all sizes and ages. I consider dogs to be my children and treat them as such, so they will never be in a situation where they are uncomfortable, agitated, or scared. I also have tons of experience grooming both short hair and long hair dogs and can offer that as a service as well. I look forward to walking or boarding your fur babies! I currently work from home part-time and have a lot of flexibility during the day to care for dogs. I can offer multiple walks during the day and plenty of playtime while boarding! I have a large fenced yard and 2 friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My house has ample toys and treats, and I am always home to keep an eye out and play with the dogs as well. On walks, I keep the dogs on leash at all times and will not take them to dog parks unless the owner permits AND until they see me as the pack leader. I don't feel safe with other dogs in that environment unless I am in 100% control of the dogs under my supervision.
20. Kayla B.
“I've known Kayla for years and can confidently say she's a fantastic caregiver for your furry friends. From a young age, Kayla managed a pet store, skillfully caring for 10-30 animals at any given time. She has extensive experience working with all types of pets (even timid ones). She has spent countless hours socializing and caring for rescues and strays. Her dedication and love for animals are also evident through her own pets, who thrive under her care. Kayla's ability to manage multiple pets and genuine affection for them make her an exceptional choice for anyone needing a responsible and loving caregiver.”
