“I couldn't have found a better person to take care of my baby girl cat SunElla. I was very nervous about leaving her as it was the first time I was away from her for more than a day and a half. She is three and a half years old and is truly the little love of my life. This was also the first time I ever used Rover.Loni stopped twice a day and very promptly on time. Each time she sent little notes about how my girl was doing what she ate. Pictures, several pictures which just made our time apart so much easier for me and especially for my girl as she is not a cat who likes to be alone. I also trusted Loni the moment I met her with my girl but also with my belongings in my home. She is a very kind lady and you could tell she genuinely cared about taking care of my girl for me. Thank you Loni!”


“Madde was great! She exceeded our expectations. She made our time away from home comfortable knowing our pets were well cared for. She communicated with us after every visit with both words, pics and videos. She was delightful. We highly recommend her for anyone needing in home pet care.”


“Ariel was the first to pet the feral cat we’ve had living on our property the past two years. She is awesome with animals and doted on George, Sylvie and Sheena.”


“This was our first time using Brittany but we certainly look forward to using her more! She did great with our four huskies during a lunchtime drop in visit, she took instructions very well, and is natural with dogs.”


“Would you be available to walk both dogs twice a day starting 8/31 at 10ish am and 7:30ish pm through 9/5 morning walk? My sister can stay with the dogs and cat while I am gone, but she is in her 70s and I don’t want her to walk the dogs alone. She might walk with you when you walk the dogs, she might even walk one with you. She is very active and walking is not a problem, but I don’t want her to be pulled by the dog(s) and risk an injury to her or the dogs.”


“Ellen did an amazing job checking in on our kitty while we were on vacation this past week! I enjoyed getting daily updates and pictures while we were away. I could tell she was very well taken care of! She even brought her a catnip toy to play with!”


“Marissa, helped me in a pinch with a last-minute request for drop-in visits with my cat when I left town. She also agreed to an extra day when I decided to extend my trip. She communicated well with me before and during. I will definitely use her services again!”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently care for five dogs and a cat of my own. Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, including puppies, seniors, and those with special needs. I’m experienced in giving medications, reading body language, and helping nervous or shy dogs feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s playtime, a walk, or just quiet companionship, I give every pet the same patience, care, and love I give my own. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to offer drop-in visits and walks throughout the day, perfect for busy work schedules or midday breaks. I’m also available for weekend house sitting, so your pet can stay comfortable and cared for in their own home while you’re away. My flexible hours mean I can be there when your pet needs me most. I always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, whether I’m visiting your home or walking around the block. I follow your routine, respect your space, and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for. You’ll get updates so you know they’re in good hands.


“We have a handicap cat who does not have function of his bladder or bowels. He needs to be expressed twice a day, and it’s always been stressful even thinking of leaving town. Chelsie was AMAZING! We came home and our little boy wasn’t even leaking! He had clearly been expressed well...and that’s not easy. As Chelsie soon came to find out, he can be a bit sassy!!! Thank you so much for taking care of our boy...and taking on a task that was over and above the typical drop-in visit. We appreciate you and so does Orange! ❤️”


About: Hi! I’m a recent Hayes High School grad (4.0 GPA!) looking to earn some money before college by doing something I love—spending time with dogs. I’ve raised my senior Goldendoodle since she was a puppy and have lots of experience dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s a hyper Shih Tzu or a shy Pit Bull, I’m comfortable with all kinds of pups! I am on summer break and have no other jobs so I am ready for what your pets might need. I love walking and am a early riser so having a dog along with me fits perfectly into my schedule! We don’t have a fenced-in yard at home, so daily walks have always been a big part of life for me and my dog. Since she’s a bigger pup, I’m very used to handling excited moments—like when a squirrel dashes by! Safety is always my priority. I use secure leashes and harnesses, always double-check gates and doors, and take time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs. Whether I’m walking them or visiting their home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

“Bella did such an amazing job with my kitties! My kitty Sally is super shy and this was her first time having a babysitter. Bella was able to get Sally to trust her very quickly. She sent picture updates with every visit and kept everything super tidy!”


“Lydia was responsive, easy going and friendly. You can tell she is an animal person. My cat went straight up to her as soon as she walked in to meet her! I appreciated the check-ins and pics. I know my cat was in great hands!”


“First time using Rover and Rita was the perfect person to stop in and check in on my two cats! She went above and beyond in making sure the cats litter was cleaned, they had plenty of food, play time, and even sweeping up spilled cat food/fur! Rita made sure to send lots of pictures, giving me a peace of mind while away! Definitely plan to keep using Rita as a pet sitter!”


About: I have grown up with hamsters and guinea pigs so I have many years of experience when taking care of pets. Also for the past 3 years I have been house sitting and walking/checking in on friends and families dogs and cats. I am home from college for the summer and am looking for something on the side that I like to do. So I am pretty available whenever it comes to scheduling. If there is a fence I plan on keeping pets inside the fencing and if pets needed to go for a walk I will make sure to follow all proper instructions per the client.

“McKenna did a wonderful job with Gravy! He’s been more calm than usual since I came back from work! I can tell that he had a good day and he wasn’t lonely! He seems to be happier:)) She was so responsive to my messages and she sent me the many photos of him! I’ll definitely request McKenna for drop in visits. We also going to have the upcoming house sitting with her! Thank you so much Mckenna! I really appreciate your care of Gravy:))”


“Kelsey was amazing! She went above and beyond. I would highly recommend Kelsey. She is fantastic and took amazing care of our fur babies!”


About: Animals have always been a part of my life! I currently have a dog and a cat of my own, and I grew up in a home with two cats and a family dog—so caring for pets is second nature to me. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels, and I understand how important it is to provide consistent, loving care that keeps them happy and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, medications, or just some good old-fashioned snuggles, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I work full-time during the weekdays, but I’m available after 5 PM on weekdays, as well as most weekends and holidays. Whether you need evening drop-ins, weekend boarding, or holiday care, I’m happy to help! I’ll always keep communication clear and flexible to make sure your pet gets the care they need, when they need it. When I care for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care as I would my own. I stick closely to your pet’s daily routine, including feedings, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and any medications if needed. I know how comforting it is for pets to stay in their familiar space, and I do my best to keep things consistent and low-stress while you’re away. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can feel connected and confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I treat your furry family members like my own. From senior pet care and medication administration to daily walks and drop-ins, I provide personalized, compassionate care. Your fur baby will feel safe, loved, and right at home. I am a stay at home mom currently and have two older kiddos. I have a lot of time to dedicate to you and your furry family member. As long as I have 3 days advance notice I can make just about anything schedule wise work. In your home: I will follow any rules and requirements you may have and even happy to grab mail, or do light cleaning if needed as well while away. If your animal has a strict schedule or its more easy going no worries! what your animal needs I can make happen. In my home: I myself have a fully fenced in back yard for plenty of dog running and play. I also allow animals to roam in all the main living areas and they are allowed on furniture if they like. I keep everything covered when we have fur babies in the house. My kids are older and also any animal in the home will be loved and played with by them! they both are animal lovers. I will follow any guidelines/rules you set, eating schedules, walking schedules, etc.

About: I grew up with cats and became a dog owner 20 years ago. I have trained 2 puppies. I have a lot of time on my hands to care for your pets. I am a teacher and I am gone weekdays 6:15-3:30. I do have a daughter that comes home daily from 10:45-11:30 to let the dogs out. I have one Boston Terrier and he loves to play. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of room to run around. My dog can be crated if needed.

“I have asked Anna a number of times to come watch my dog when I have a late day at work. I mainly have her stop in to feed him and let him out but she goes above and beyond by playing with him and giving him the attention that he doesn’t get when I’m away since I only have 1 dog. I love seeing him getting the care he deserves when I am unable to be there! It takes a lot of stress off me.”

Ellen was great. We hate leaving our cat alone for an extended time, and we're always apprehensive about how the cat will get along. All of the concerns were out the window when the cat cozied up to Ellen on her lap after 2 days! We received daily photos/videos as updates that really let us enjoy our time away. We highly recommend Ellen.

Loni is an impressive sitter. She gives my dog the love and attention he needs, when I’ve left him. I hope to use Loni again.

Lydia is the best because she really tries to bond with my cat while taking care of her. She is very responsible and always keeps me updated on what’s going on with my cat while I’m traveling.

Kayla was awesome with our dogs. She was responsive and kept us up to date on how they did without us. We will definitely be hiring her again! Thanks, Kayla!

Gracie is amazing at cuddling and loving my cat while I’m away. Gracie takes adorable pictures, and that really makes my day!

McKenna did take care of Gravy really well! They went for a long walk:) She also accommodated my last minute time change! I truly appreciate her kind care and I will definitely recommend her to anyone:) Thank you so much McKenna!

Absolutely amazing. Katelyn held a long term contract and was the most reliable person in my life. I will forever be grateful for her commitment to my sweet puppies.

This adorable couple is so amazing and professional. They always take care of my pets in the best way. I highly recommend them.

Anabelle was reliable, followed instructions, was available to answer questions, and gave me daily feedback on how the cats were doing.
