Samantha was fantastic with Guinness! I’m not sure Guinness ever wanted her to leave! It is super comforting knowing that Guinness is in great hands when I am at work! We will definitely be reaching out again!

About: Used to walk multiple dogs regularly, have house sitted with multiple animals in the house. Have worked with large dogs over 100lbs to smaller dogs. I would like to disclose I walk with my veteran husband due to my PTSD sorry for any inconvenience. I love speaking to all furry friends sweetly and lovingly. I love animals of all ages, sizes and breeds. Currently free most of the time as a stay at home wife and mother. Weather depending. Can make accommodations if the weather isn't ideal. Please just contact me to discuss alternate options during bad weather. I will provide the highest level of safety and care when I'm with your animals. I always make sure an environment is safe and clear before entering. I treat all animals as if they were my own, I'm very particular on how animals are treated and do my upmost to make your animals feel as loved as you make them feel.

My first time in getting a cat sitter online but was highly recommended to use Rover. No regrets! Radyah was so good and flexible on watching the Miss kitty around the holidays. I would recommend her in a heart beat!

WOW!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! You have got to call Heather for your pet care needs! This was our very first experience with pet sitters and we unanimously voted Heather as our permanent caregiver for our cats and dogs! During the meet and greet, our pets, who are usually iffy around strangers, peacefully gathered around her. Trust was quickly established. Heather is warm, kind, super fun, amazing personality, and very knowledgeable about pet care. She knows exactly what to do. Besides, it was a treat meeting her extremely adorable daughter Aliya. What a team! Guaranteed amazing pet care service - Call Heather now!

About: I’m back on Rover for summer break 2026. I’ve taken care of cats and dogs (and fish) since I was a teenager, and had a beloved dog for 13 years who passed away in 2023. I have since adopted a wild little puppy, which is why I can’t do overnights anymore. If drop-ins work for you instead, contact me for a flat daily rate instead of paying for each drop-in. I have volunteered at the humane society and often watch my friends’ pets when they go out of town. I also took care of my dog through multiple knees surgeries and two different types of cancer. I love being able to take care of animals in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable and know their families will be back soon. As a high school counselor, I’m available for drop-ins, walks, crate breaks, and playtime all summer long. If you have a dog or cat who needs a crate break during the day or you just want to have some company or exercise before you get home from work, I’m here for that. I will love on your pets and give them as much attention, play, walks, cuddles, and fun as they want! If your pet is more of a recluse, I can be there for company and to take care of them, while fully respecting their personality. I will follow your directions specifically, because I know how important it is to maintain diet, house rules, meal schedules, bathroom routines, and medication times for a pet’s health and well-being. I prefer to watch pets in their homes because after having a dog, I understand how much less stress it is for them. I’ll take daily pictures (at least) and ask what time of day is best for you to receive them (especially if you’re in a different time zone). I’m happy to watch pets recovering from surgery too, as long as there are clear instructions. This was a challenge I experienced when my dog had surgery and I had to go to work, so I’d be happy to fill that need.

About: Hi. My name is Keyah. I have been a pet owner since I was 6 years old. My first pet was a cat. I had a Shih Tzu, then a Yorkshire Terrier. Now I have 3 mixed breed dogs, 2 of which are rescues, all from different backgrounds. With the love and care I provide, each dog gets along great! I love all dogs and breeds. I can't wait to share my love with your fur family! I worked in education for about 15 years. I taught Kindergarten, 1st, 4th and 5th grades. I am currently on summer break and have more time with your fur baby. I have 3 mixed breed dogs. We go to our neighborhood dog park every day, sometimes multiple times a day. I allow my dogs on the couch, they have dog pillows to lay on, and they have blankets in their crates to keep them comfortable.

About: I’ve taken care of my pets and friends’ pets for the last few years whenever they have needed it. Mainly walking, drop in visits, and occasional pet sitting. I love playing with pets if they are playful! I currently work from home so it’s fairly easy for me to take my lunch break or mornings to give some extra attention to your pets. I am not able to currently care for pets in my own home, however I’ll be able to tend to your pets in your home however you’d like. I have experience in dog, cat, and bird care so I’ll be able to adjust to your pets needs.

Iqra was absolutely amazing with my cats! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and reliable the entire time. She kept me updated, made sure my cats were comfortable, loved, and well taken care of, and truly treated them like her own. She even went out of her way to bring wet food for them, which was such a thoughtful and kind gesture. You can genuinely tell how much she loves animals. I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in such good hands. I would highly recommend Iqra to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and loving cat sitter! 🐾💕

Samantha was an absolute professional who our two cats loved. Rylie and Leo had fun, were in a great mood when we got home, and our home was in better condition than when we had left it. Even with short notice Samantha helped us out and was flexible around our schedules, we will be asking for her help again whenever we travel. 5/5.

If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would. This was our first time requesting pet care from a service and Ivor patiently walked us through it. From the initial meet and greet our pets were drawn to her, which doesn't often happen with new people. We felt so relaxed on our trip knowing our pets were in such safe and calming hands. Already planning to rebook with her!
