“This was the first time using Rover and Yasmine made it so easy for us! She kept us updated sending cute pics of our cat Oreo. We had to pick him up earlier than scheduled and Yasmine didn’t have a problem with that. She’s super kind with animals, if we need someone to take care for our cat again we definitely gonna go back to her, thanks again Yasmine!”
“Heather did an incredible job taking care of our cats. She was responsible and communicative. Our travel coincided with the recent blizzard; she adjusted her plans to visit before the storm hit and offered to visit again if we could not make it back in time. Needless to say, we were very happy with the care she provided.”
“This is my 2nd time having Hon watch my kitties and it continues to be a great match. Great communication, photos and updates. And my very shy AJ did not hide on his visits which is amazing!!”
“Nina took great care of Lyra, who felt super comfortable with her right away. Nina took great photos every visit and was so communicative and caring, I will definitely be booking again!!”
“Boryana S. Was wonderful with Oreo. I needed help learning how to administer ear drops to my cat and Boryana handled Oreo with care and I was able to follow her lead and learn to do this on my own. This was Boryana’s first time here and Oreo immediately went to her and they bonded almost instantly. I highly recommend Boryana if You need help or babysitting for your pet.”
“Stacey was great with our senior cat! we were gone for almost two weeks and really wanted someone to stay at our apartment to keep and eye on him as he has some health issues. Stacey took great care of him, sent us daily updates and went above and beyond to make sure he was eating, healthy and happy. I can’t recommend Stacey enough!! We will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Megan is a great communicator and made our dogs (and us) very happy! She showed up on exactly time and followed our directions to the tee. We will definitely hire her again!”

About: I grew up in a cat-loving household and currently have a 10 year old cat of my own, so I understand the needs of both kittens and more senior kitties. I have been a cat sitter for friends and family for two years now and I am experienced with feeding routines, playtime, and litter care. I respect each cat’s unique personality and will be patient and friendly to make sure your cat feels comfortable and safe while you are away. :) I am currently a graduate student at Princeton. Therefore, I am available in the area year round and my availability on the weekdays is after 5 pm while weekends I am flexible. I will respect your cats and your home while I perform my drop in visits, making sure that your cats are well cared for while you are away.
“Jill is an amazing sitter who pays careful attention to the pets. We appreciate the detailed comments that she has provided, above and beyond the feeding and playing with our cat!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my heart and home for as long as I can remember. I adopted my first dog, a spirited Jack Russell-Boston Terrier mix, in 2005, and when I got married, I happily welcomed my husband’s senior boxer into our family. A few years later, an unplanned encounter led us to adopt another boxer puppy—we couldn’t resist her charm! Over the years, our family grew, adding four kids into the mix alongside our beloved dogs. Losing my own dog in 2019 and our boxer shortly after my youngest was born was incredibly hard, but it deepened my appreciation for the unconditional love and joy dogs bring. I was the first in my family to welcome a dog into our lives, and since then, I’ve inspired my sisters and even nieces and nephews to do the same. Though I can’t currently have a dog in my home as a single mom with four little ones, I deeply miss the companionship and connection dogs provide. Caring for your dog would be an honor, and I promise to treat them with the same love and attention I’ve given my own. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or playtime, your furry family member will be in caring hands. I’m a newly single mom of four young children. As a stay-at-home parent, I care for my toddler during the day while my three older kids are in school. This allows me to have a flexible schedule that works around their school hours and extracurricular activities. I understand how important it is to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to care for your dog in your home, following all your instructions to keep their routine consistent and familiar. Whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I’ll make sure your furry family member gets the attention and care they deserve. I also recognize that dogs can sometimes feel anxious when their parents aren’t around. I’ll do everything I can to ease their worries and keep them calm, using the tips and guidance you provide. If any unexpected messes happen, I’ll handle them promptly and ensure your home stays clean and tidy. My goal is to provide you with peace of mind and ensure your dog feels loved and cared for while you’re away.
“Camryn was very good with our cat and got him to come out from hiding, even though he is a nervous kitty! She was very good at responding to texts and sending pictures and updates!”
About: Hello! My name is Olivia! I love dogs of all breeds and sizes, I've been taking care of dogs, my own and others, for a few years now.

I can take your pup on walks, usually 2-3 a day, whatever you prefer. I can provide a safe and happy environment in my own home, for them to stay in, be comfortable and enjoy themselves. I am happy to accommodate any special requests or needs your dog has. I am super excited to meet new dogs and make new furry friends. Hope to meet you soon!

Dayton cat parents share their Rover experiences
Mutsuko was a wonderful cat sitter! We couldn’t have asked for anything more. She was kind, attentive, and thoughtful. She meticulously looked after our cat Cheddar’s needs (fresh food, water, litter, etc.) and health. And also considered his emotional well being, playing with him, mixing in various toys and leaving some out in fun places so he could play when she was gone. She gave us wonderful reports which we looked forward to each day. We missed him, but could really enjoy our vacation knowing he was in the best hands. Cheddar really bonded with her, which is just as important as us being happy with her! Her husband Toru is also terrific and his love of cats is evident! We will definitely be using them again!
Sumana was great with Cinnamon! She was on time every day and spent time with her. I knew she did a great job because my kitty was super calm when. We came home! She doesn’t like being left alone and if she’s by herself for too long she’s frantic when we come home. Awesome job!
