Lauren M. kept us apprised each day on how our cat was doing and sent us pictures. We appreciated her attention to details and reports. This was the first time we have used rover.com -- and will definitely reach out to her again in the future.

We couldn’t ask for a better sitter for our two dogs and two cats! Jen is always accommodating, responsible, and she’s a great communicator. The best thing though is we can tell the animals love her too!

About: Do you have a high-energy dog who would love to go on a run? How about an anxious cat who needs their space respected, a dog with separation anxiety, or a senior pet who's particular about how their meds are administered? Whoever your pet is, I'm sure they have their own individual personalities, quirks, and needs...just like people do! I learned this at a young age when I used to house-sit for a neighbor with four cats. All four were totally different: there was a cuddler, a hider, a snoozer, and a biter. They taught me that patience and respect are just as important as love in building a relationship with an animal. Since then, I've had 20+ years of experience with animals with unique needs, including having owned a dog with separation anxiety (he tore out a tooth and got onto the roof once!) and a deaf senior cat (I think she could see ghosts). I've volunteered at animal shelters and have pet-sat for every personality under the sun! I would love to find out more about your pet and how we can have the best possible time together. I have been a runner for 15+ years and would love to discuss taking your dog out for a jog! Up to 2h/week total. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment! I can make time for your pet any time, up to 6 days a week total. I am able to provide any support needed at your home, including feeding, playing, administering meds, walking, and taking your pet out for a run!

Thanks God that Xinyue living at the same apartment complex. Xinyue took care of Tori well and walked Tori for olayed with Tori while I was away. Tori was very happy thanks to Xinyue.

About: Hi, I’m Michaela! I provide reliable, consistent care for pets, with a focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Being a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels happy and secure while you’re away. I specialize in dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and also offer limited boarding. Whether it’s a daily walk, a quick check-in, or overnight care, I take the time to understand your pet’s routine and make sure everything feels as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ve cared for dogs with a wide range of personalities, from high-energy and playful to more relaxed or shy, and I always adjust my approach to fit each pet. I keep my days structured yet flexible so I can reliably show up for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I’m intentional about planning my day around the pets I’m caring for, making sure each visit gets my full attention. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening routines, I build my schedule to stay consistent and dependable. Because of this, I’m able to provide a calm, reliable experience for both pets and their owners, keeping routines consistent and making sure each pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve. I try to keep things as normal and comfortable as possible for your pet while they’re at home. I’ll follow their usual routine closely, whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or any little habits they’re used to. I make sure they get a lot of attention and care based on their personality. If they’re energetic, we’ll get some good playtime or walks in, and if they’re more relaxed or a little shy, I’ll keep things calm and go at their pace. I’m also very respectful of your home and will keep everything clean and organized. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel relaxed knowing your pet is happy and in good hands!

Christie is such a sweet lady!! She was great with our fur baby Nelly. Our dog Nelly immediately loved her at the meet and greet. She helped us with multiple drop ins on the weekend and she was so communicative about Nelly the whole day. We will definitely be asking Christie for more drop ins in the future. :)

Emma was fantastic with our three cats as we took a long road trip to New Hampshire and back over the long weekend. She was very communicative the entire time and made sure that my cat that needs medication and an inhaler had both each day. She also kept us up to date about an accident that my cat had, cleaned it, and left the place spotless for us to come home. Emma is a great pet sitter!

Alix was super professional and attentive! Communication was prompt and we were able to fit in a video call beforehand to help me feel more comfortable. All of my specific feeding instructions were followed exactly, which was important since my cats are on different diets. Extra care was taken to play with the cats and help them feel comfortable. Alix also gave us a heads-up about a local storm warning and checked in to ask how to help our cats feel safe. As a thoughtful touch, a little gift bag with toys and treats was left behind. Overall, a great experience and I’ll definitely book again in the future :)

Mackenzie was an amazing pet sitter! She was always timely, friendly, and professional, which gave me so much peace of mind. I especially appreciated how she was able to get my shy cat to take her meds which is no small feat! On top of that, her photography skills were such a bonus; I loved getting thoughtful, high-quality updates. I’m so grateful for her care and would absolutely recommend her!
