“Samantha is absolutely amazing; she did much more than the bare minimum and made sure to give my cat some playtime and affection while I was gone. She's very good with communication and sending photos — highly recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats all my life, they were always a part of our family! Rest assured, your fur babies will be treated as family too! I enjoy being outside so will be sure they get plenty of outdoor time, indoor play time and enrichment, especially for dogs/ cats who need to get that frisky energy out! Any special instructions also will be followed as needed/requested. I have a a lot of flexibility with my schedule and self employed so can make mid day and evening visits easily. My weekends are usually open and can make time as necessary. My cats are family so they are treated with love and respect. Rest assured, your fur babies will be taken care of just as such.
“Caitlin was fantastic with Holly during her drop-in visits! She was always on time, gave Holly lots of attention, and made sure all her needs were taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and photos after each visit—it gave me peace of mind while I was away. Holly looked so happy and relaxed in every picture! Caitlin is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again for future visits.”
About: I've always been a natural caregiver. I've had pets since I was born, took care of my grandmother in her final years, and I take care of patients of all ages everyday as a healthcare worker. My goal is always to look out for the underdog (pun intended). I work at a dental clinic nearby with nights, weekends, and every other Friday off. My 15 minute commute allows me to pop home if I need to let our pup out. I have plenty of time before and after work for walks and snuggles too! I have a fenced in backyard, a super laid back 9 year old lab mix, and two chill cats who pretty much keep to themselves. We have plenty of extra space for crating if need be! And if for some reason your furry friend needs and entirely secluded area, we can provide that as well.
“Always wonderful with Fenway and me!!! We will be sad and miss her!! She is a wonderful person and anyone who is books her will be blessed!! Thanks Stephanie ❤️”
“Dominique did an amazing job of taking care of my cat while I was on an international trip. Her updates helped me enjoy my trip, knowing that my cat was in good hands at home.”
About: I’ve taken care of older dogs as well as puppies. I’m an outdoorsy person, love going to parks and taking my doggy nieces with me! Your dog will be engaged, played with and cared for. Walks- (M-F) after 6:00pm Saturday anytime Sundays after 2pm Drop in visits- only available on weekends anytime House sitting- available 7 days a week, for M-F I will be working 8am-5pm, Saturday and Sundays available all day I love to play, cuddle and pet. I also understand that not all dogs like that. Depending on the dog’s personality and body language, I’ll typically do whatever is more comfortable for them. I have a puppy niece that is very active and is high energy and loves to cuddle and my other doggy niece (an older pitty) prefers to be left alone and watch tv lol so I’m pretty adaptable.
“Caila was a great sitter! She was super responsive and was able to accommodate us and our pets. She always made sure to send us pictures and updates and kept our dog and cat great company. Would absolutely hire her again!”
“They were amazing!! Our cats were well cared for, and we received several photos and videos of our cats :) We would heavily recommend that you go with Amanda for all your pet sitting needs!!”
About: I have a wide range of experience caring for pets, including cats, puppies and elderly dogs with medical needs. In addition to providing day-to-day care like walks and drop-ins, I have experience with long-term housesitting. I prioritize communication with my clients and love sending photos and updates so you can be sure your loved one is well cared for! I’m currently taking classes online and volunteering at a shelter every so often, so I’m fully free anytime with enough notice! I aim to get out and walk as much as possible, I’d be happy to take your puppy along with me. Your pets comfort and safety is my number one priority, I will make sure they are cared for and loved like they were my own.
“Radyah was great at communicating throughout the entire process! She made sure to meet all of my requests and I loved getting photos of my sweet kitties while I was away. They were in good hands!”
“I’ve worked with Megan twice now and absolutely appreciate her help so much! She continues to go above and beyond and I plan on continuing to work with her! Thank you so much!”
“Alyssa is so very sweet and gentle with our furbabies. She’s lovely, uber-reliable (no reminders needed), and absolutely trustworthy! We appreciated communication with feedback about her visits and photos to see that our dogs were OK!”
“Tatum is incredible! She watched my pup for us in our hotel room while we were out at our wedding and she was absolutely perfect. She kept us updated without over-communicating or distracting us from our celebration. Otter was exhausted and wagging his tail when we came home - we know he had a great time!”
“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: I am active duty military and a dog mom to a sweet American Bulldog named Kobe. I have grown up with pets my entire life and consider them family :) I have a flexible schedule, I am punctual, and attentive. I have a flexible schedule and can work with you to personally develop a plan that works! Please message me before completing the booking request. I have a fenced back yard, as well as, am located in a dog-friendly neighborhood that features a great dog park and is safe for walks.
“Melissa took great care of our kitty while we were traveling! He loved playing with her and we really appreciated the pictures and updates. She was very responsive. We would definitely book her again!”
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!
One of the best experiences I've ever had. Bryce is exceptional and clearly a lover of dogs! He was super attentive and caring. The pictures and text during and after each home visit was above and beyond. I'm really thankful Bryce accepted this job because I can't imagine a better experience.
Katie has been such a help to us with our cats. One is very senior and deaf and Katie takes such good care of him. She communicates with us to keep us up to date on how they are doing and we feel secure knowing they are in good hands. I so appreciate her caring for our cats!
So glad we found Nimisha on Rover to care for our puppy while we were away from home for long periods of time! She was incredibly responsive and showed care by asking questions to ensure Beau received the best care. She sent photos and updates both times. We came home to a happy pup :) We will definitely book her again!
