Meredith took care of my two kitties while I was away for work and did an excellent job! She made sure to play and hang with them, and also helped clean up several messes of one kitty in particular. She also made sure to troubleshoot my automatic feeder and made sure to give the boys extra food just in case, would recommend!

Maria has been fantastic! From our very first meeting, she was incredibly responsive and professional. During every visit, she provided thorough updates that kept us at ease. Luxe, who usually sticks to the bed, actually spent his time waiting on the couch to greet Maria the moment she walked in. It was so heartening to hear how Luxe followed her around and how much they bonded on the couch together. We are so pleased with the care Maria provided!

About: Since I can remember I was always a pet lover. I have experience walking varying breeds from small mixed breeds to husky’s, as well as cat sitting. Five years ago I got an Australian Shepard, she is a ball of energy in my life. I have experience with energetic and anxious animals. I only walk one dog at a time, unless you book a walk for multiple dogs. Please message me any questions. ***AVAILABILITY*** *Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri 8am till late evening *Tues 8am-3pm *Weekends vary due to school and racing (please reach out for weekends, I am happy to accommodate your and your pets needs) *Meet and greet before first visit I'm currently a masters student taking classes Tuesday nights and one Saturday a month, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I'm available for dog walks & drop ins Mon, Wed, Thurs, and Fri 8am-8pm, and Tues 8am-3pm, some weekend availability. My calendar is constantly being updated with my current availability and I am happy to accommodate to you and your pet's needs. Safety is a top priority for me, I care for each pet like they're my own! I only walk one dog booking at a time, no pack walks or dog parks. I follow any guidelines and preferences provided, I only give treats which are approved and as directed. Each visit has at least one photo included. For Dogs, I love to play with them and promise they will get much love, attention, and pets. For walks I can use a preferred route, try to stay in the shade during the summer, and avoid dog parks for safety reasons. For Cats, I will adapt to what the cat prefers. If they need time to warm up to me, I will give them the time and space needed, I will gladly play with them, pet them, or if they just want to do their own cat-things I will supervise them. At the end of the visit I usually leave the tv running on a sleep timer for background noise and visual stimulation. *I like to have a meet and greet before the first visit

About: Hi, my name is Sofi! I work from home full-time, which allows me to spend plenty of time with pets. I’ve grown up with animals and have loved being around them my whole life. Since moving to the U.S., friends and people in my social circle have trusted me to pet sit, house sit, and take care of their pets, including dog walking. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex in a very walkable area, close to parks and green areas, perfect for daily walks and playtime. While I don’t have pets of my own, I truly enjoy their company and the joy, energy, and good moments they bring. I’m offering my services on Rover because I love spending time with pets and can provide them with attentive care while I work from home. I’m flexible on cost and cancellations. I’m happy to answer any questions or provide more details about me, you can reach out anytime, and I usually respond quickly. I work from home full-time, which allows me to easily integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is generally flexible, so I can take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day, rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed, ensuring they are comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout the day.

Jenna and Matthew are amazing! This is the second time I’ve booked with them and they do a great job every time. I’ve booked 30 minute drop-ins and they always play with my dog when there’s extra time instead of just leaving when she’s done being walked/fed. It means a lot to me that they go the extra mile to make sure my dog is happy!

About: I grew up taking care of my dog while my sister, the cat. I've always loved all kinds of animals. As an adult I've lived with a lot more cats. I used to take care of friends' cats before I got my own. I had an orange tabby cat previously, and I have a 5 year old orange tabby cat now :) I look forward to meeting your pet and giving them the love and care they require and deserve! I work from home a lot, but if I'm ever at the office, it's less than 10 min away from home. On a typical week I go Mon-Wed-Thurs. I have a one-bedroom apartment and an extra door to my living room. If for whatever reason our cats do not get along, they both would have their own space full of toys.

Haviland was such a great sitter! First, she took the time to visit before our trip to get familiar with our kitty and her routine. While we were away, she sent lots of photos and updates—even though our cat can be pretty shy, she really opened up around Haviland and seemed to enjoy her company and playtime. We were very happy with Haviland as our sitter and would 100% book her again! :)

Zoey is one of the best sitters I have found on Rover! She’s very communicative and sent us lots of updates on our Koko when we were out of town. I appreciated that Zoey asked to meet before the service started and she instantly bonded with Koko when she arrived. I’ll definitely be using her again when we need a sitter.

Shannon was great. This was my first time arranging care for my cat Milo, but Shannon's experience showed when she knew all the things to consider so that his needs were met. During my trip she provided updates and photos and I knew she was being conscientious and spending quality time with him during the drop in visits. Milo was well cared for. Shannon was also very responsive to all my questions prior, during, and after the service.

Thomas was absolutely incredible, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He cared for my three indoor cats (one is diabetic and needs insulin injections every 12 hours), my backyard alley cat, and even my turtle while I was away. Managing that many animals with different needs is no small task, but Thomas handled everything flawlessly. The biggest concern for me was my diabetic cat, since her insulin schedule is critical. Thomas was consistently right on time for every single injection, which gave me enormous peace of mind while I was traveling. What really set him apart, though, was how thoughtful and proactive he was. I had left a window open so the cats could enjoy watching outside. Thomas noticed the forecast called for torrential rain and reached out to ask if I wanted him to close it—something I hadn’t even thought about. It’s that kind of attention to detail that shows he genuinely cares for both the pets and the home. He kept me updated, communicated clearly, and I came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and felt completely confident they had been in excellent hands. I would book Thomas again without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and exceptionally conscientious pet sitter.
