Kristen was wonderful. She really tried to get to know my Ragdoll kitten, Muffin. She kept in touch with pictures, video, and comments. She let me know what she did during each visit and went above and beyond. I came home to a relaxed and happy kitten who had never been left by himself before. She's great, I highly recommend her.

Kate is a wonderful petsitter! She goes the extra mile and sends a ton of videos and funny pictures of my cats playing and having fun with her. She’s taken care of my cats since they were kittens so my reviews are probably getting a bit repetitive at this point—she does such a great job 👏

About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember, both large and small. I've been routinely walking a 100 pound great Pyrenees since I was a pre teen, so I know how to handle a large barking dog (and I'm not even bothered by barking any more!). I also have a lot of energy, so I'm happy to play as much as possible with any sort of dog. I'm also currently missing my own two dogs at home, so you can be sure that your dogs would get plenty of love and attention if I'm taking care of them. I'm a college student so my schedule is fairly open, aside from when I have class. I'm also available consistently on the weekends, so it wouldn't be an issue to perform frequent check ins. I'm happy to answer any specific inquiries about my weekly availability as well. I am comfortable using whatever mode of security you want, and will be sure to supervise your pets carefully if we're outside. I'm comfortable giving medicine to animals, as I've had some experience with my own cat (who had diabetes) and other foster kittens who needed eye drops, or medication given through pipettes.

Rachel was the best cat sitter we could have hoped for. She communicated constantly, sent pictures, answered our questions, and remained attentive throughout her stay in our home. Our cats, who are normally very shy of strangers, quickly warmed up to her with snuggles - a very unprecedented thing! Feeling that sense of trust and security for our animals made our trip that much more enjoyable, knowing we did not have to worry at all about how our cats were doing. We cannot recommend her enough!

Jae was awesome. We had a chat before to go over basics and left some notes with details. She was great with our two cats, gave them each the attention they needed/wanted, kept us updated via text and the Rover app, and when we got back the cats were happy, healthy and happy to see us (in their feline ways). Thanks Jae!

He was friendly, quick to communicate, and super accommodating of my requests and the short notice request. He sent photos of my baby and gave her so much attention (she’s very needy). Would definitely hire him again in the future :)

Sara did a great job taking care of my senior cats while I was away. One of my cats, Cleo, requires daily oral medications and I can tell you Cleo doesn't make it easy, but Sara was able to do it. I could really tell she cared about getting to know the cats and making sure they were comfortable. I will be booking with her again in the future!

About: I’ve loved animals all my life. I have a very vivid memory of fishing with my father. We caught a fish the size of a silver dollar. Thrilled to throw it back my father stopped me and proceeded to cut the fish up for bait. I cried for so long that day. Looking back it’s pretty funny that it stayed with me. Presently that experience reverberates through my life in small cries during commercials featuring animals doing sweet/sad things, and big sobs in the theater when one is lost on screen. I’m an owner of 2 cats. Both are very sweet. One is more curious and the other more apprehensive (he hides when we have other animal visitors). I’ve raised 3 dogs and have fostered once before. I’ve worked at a Veterinary Clinic back in Texas and have experience with giving oral medication as well as subcutaneous injections. I give 2 shots to my own twice daily so I’m very familiar with it. I go to school full-time and I only live 7 minutes away from school! My classes during the week are usually 3 hours long with at least 3 hours in-between classes. Friday through Sunday my attention is all to your fur baby. I have a small open yard with a leash anchor so your pet can enjoy time outside with a sense of freedom and supervision during outside time. There are trails close to my house for walking and our small neighborhood has a 30 mph speed limit. If your pet is crate trained I can accommodate a crate in a large well lit kitchen or an equally well lit cozy upstairs bedroom. Either way under supervision your pet has full access to my couch and home to be as comfortable as they need. If they require smaller spaces my bedroom (cats not allowed upstairs) is free to roam as well. No human food is easily accessible in the house due to my own pets’ dietary issues. I’m happy to communicate most times of the day through text or app for updates on your loved one.

About: Hello, My name is Monique. I currently have 2 dogs of my own that, I only just realized have officially entered seniorhood. I currently work at a local vet clinic here in Ithaca so I am also up to date and knowledgable about different breeds,foods, treats, and everything cat and dog! Ive been pet sitting and walking since the age of 13 Which has helped me learn all about caring for animals at all ages. From 4 weeks up till seniority, I can do it all and love every minute of it. Taking care of animals is something im extremely passionate about. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry(or feathered or scaled) friend! I currently do work full time and have 2 kidsof my own; and my work schedule does change from week to week but with a little bit of planning, im able to make most things work! Never be afraid to ask if you dee something and are unsure if im the right fit for you! Rover inly lets me specify certain details. I take all safety precautions, double leashes, prong collars(if provided), harnessed walkes, anything that YOU say works best for your pet, I am doing. I dont like to take the risk!

Monique is WONDERFUL! I actually met her at her job, Petland. I was shopping for a new collar and some toys for my boxer mix and I was going on about how I was trying to find someone to watch him for the weekend while I went away on business, and she mentioned that she actually did dog sitting and would love to do it. The next day I met with her and my little Billy got to see her house and meet her dogs, everyone immediately hit it off amd it was set! She sent me LOADS of pictures and videos of Billy having fun with her and her dogs, even ahowing me that she took him to the pool. It really helped reassure me, especially since this is the first time spending the weekend away from him. She really is the greatest and her love for dogs is evident.
