“Kristi was great with my two kitties who came to love her the two weeks she was here. I received daily photos and updates and saw that my boys were happy and loved. My flight home from Portugal was cancelled twice and Kristi was able to save the day by staying with the boys for two additional nights, so I had one less thing to worry about. I came home to a clean home and happy kitties. Thank you Kristi!”
“Elaine was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Snowy! She is gentle, patient, and handled Snowy’s asthma inhaler administration with ease. Snowy adjusted to her remarkably fast. Beyond being fantastic with animals, Elaine took very good care of our home and was incredibly thoughtful, considerate, and kind throughout the entire stay. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend her. Thanks, Elaine!”
“Isabel was wonderful and took great care of my kitties. She even helped get my automatic litter box working again when it decided to stop midway through our trip. She went above and beyond and I highly recommend!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of dog walking and sitting experience. I’ve worked for a professional dog-walking company, leading both neighborhood walks and adventurous hikes. I’ve also cared for my own dog with epilepsy, giving medication three times a day and providing gentle, patient care. We’re a warm, loving little family who adore all kinds of animals. I live with my husband and our 4-year-old son, who was born into a home with a cat and dog and has grown up loving animals and nature. At home, we don’t currently have a dog or cat, just fishes and a frog 🐠🐸. After losing our beloved dog, we haven’t been ready to adopt another one, which means your pup will get all the love and attention they deserve while staying with us! I can care for your dog at your home or mine, in any weather, for walks, hikes, playtime, or full-time sitting. I can also provide care for cats while you’re away. Your furry friends will be treated with love, patience, and plenty of attention — maybe even spoiled just a little. 😉 I work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and spend plenty of quality time caring for your furry friend. I’m also flexible on weekends and can easily accommodate walks, playtime, and drop-in visits. Your furry baby will always receive plenty of attention, love, and care. I completely understand how it feels to miss your little one when you’re away — I’ve been there too. That’s why I’ll keep you updated with frequent photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Since I was a kid, I’ve taken care of dogs from small dachshunds to big huskies. The longest I’ve taken care of dogs were two huskies who lived up to be nearly 17 years old ever since they were nearly a year old. Due to health complications, I took responsibility to provide medicine in their meals, trips to the vet, bathing them, and giving 5 eye drops a day to one of them. I’m also capable of bathing dogs and brushing them, whether it be in a bath tub or a garden hose outside. I’m currently job hunting for part-time jobs, so I am currently available for the afternoons during week/weekends. I’m available for during the week, from Monday until Saturday. If I’m needed during the mornings, feel free to reach out to me to coordinate. I have a fenced yard and a wooden door on side at home to prevent dogs from running towards the street when locked. l’m capable of providing meals, topical tick medicine, walks, car rides, baths, brushing, and playtime. I’m also capable of giving eye drops and mixing medicine into food for dogs.
About: At 19 I decided to become a dog groomer. Attended a grooming academy for 9 months part-time. Now going on 15 years Ive worked in Hostipal, salon and mobile settings. Clients have not only trusted me with giving them spa treatments, but have also allowed me into there homes to watch over there babies. I enjoy creating relationships with owners and their pets. I feel honored when trust is built over time and I get peep of excitement when pets see me. Working in the pet industry Ive learned and dealt with all types of pets. From senior to anxiety prone. I believe my calm demeanor allows me to build trust with nervous or anxious pets. I currently work part time so I have about 3 to 4 days that are open a week. The days are work are typically morning till early evening so I could possibly come by after a shift. I will follow your instructions on how and when your pets needs are met on a daily basis. If I am unsure, I will reach out and only when given your consent will I proceed.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dougherty
Kallie is a fantastic rover sitter! We had a short trip planned and needed care for our two cats. Not only was she great at keeping us informed with pictures and visit summaries, but also did a quick get to know you visit. Highly recommend Kallie for your fur babies care in the future
I can’t recommend Mitchell highly enough. From the first meet and greet, it was clear he genuinely loves animals, and my cat warmed up to him immediately, which almost never happens. He sent daily photos and updates that put my mind completely at ease while I was away. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a spotless litter area. Mitchell is reliable, communicative, and trustworthy in my home. Five stars, and he'll be my first call every time I travel.
Shiyin was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of our babies and cleaned up after them in ways that were above and beyond. She really captured both of our cats personalities both in her reports as well as in her photos. We will definitely book again with her in the future!
Logan was an excellent cat sitter for our 2 young cats, dropping in to take care of them for a week+ trip. He is trustworthy and responsible; his genuine love for cats means he will really care for them and he was respectful of the house, keeping it neat and as-is. He went above and beyond for our cats, providing them with extra affection and playtime rather than just dropping in to scoop litter and check on food/water. We were also given lots of photos and notes about how they were doing, it was as stress-free as a trip away from pets could be!
Anna went above and beyond caring for all four of our babies, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She is warm, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to the animals in her care. What really stood out was her flexibility — when I reached out outside of our scheduled appointment times needing help with my cats, she didn’t hesitate and accommodated us without missing a beat. That kind of responsiveness and reliability is rare and means the world to a pet parent. Anna took the time to understand all of our specific care needs and handled everything with such grace and professionalism. We felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in her hands. Highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!
As always, Dakota took fantastic care of our kitties while we were out of town. We’ve been happy clients since 2024 and honestly wouldn't trust anyone else. I especially love his prompt responses and the consistent report cards—the photos always put our minds at ease! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.
