Sonia was wonderful with our 2 cats. It was the first time leaving our fur babies and not taking them with us so we were nervous, but Sonia was so fantastic! She came for a meet and greet and was so patient with them. They warmed up to her rather quickly and spent all of their time receiving so much attention from Sonia. We loved all of the picture updates we received. Anytime Sonia is available when we are out of town, we will absolutely book with her again.

Naomi is absolutely amazing, she is kind, honest and trustworthy! She went above and beyond in the best possible ways for me and my family. We were in a difficult situation with our mother needing to leave her pets and go for temporary healthcare after suffering a stroke, Naomi made the pet care for the cats and dog in every way easier for us with no worries on their care and attention.

It was our first time getting a pet sitter for our cats and we were so nervous about leaving them under the care of someone else for an extended period of time. They have always been indoor cats and have only known us to care for them because we're family. But Christi made the entire thing a wonderful experience. Initially, we booked her for 6 days at a once a day visit, but we realized we're going to need her for longer and at 2 visits a day and she quickly worked on her calendar and was able to accommodate us. She got the boys to trust her and warm up to her within a few days of caring for them. She was so quick to respond and is so good at taking photos and updating us of the latest shenanigans our cats got their paws into. Her Rover card definitely gave us something to look forward to everyday. We had a good laugh at some of the tricks they have up their sleeves. She accommodated each request we had, and even asked us if we would like for her to do some of the things that weren't previously discussed with her. As soon as we saw one of her reviews stating she got their cat who do not trust other people trust her and immediately, we decided to go with Christi to care for them and it was one of the smartest choices we've made for our boys. She is never late to any of the appointments, showed up everyday rain or shine, and she was also so quick to give our kitties a shot each that she's done in just a blink of an eye. Overall experience was amazing so much so that we have already given her a heads up on when we're going to need her services again. We highly, highly recommend this smart, young lady to care for your babies while you are away. You're won't regret it! We're going to be repeat clients for sure! Christi, you're the best at what you do and I sure hope we can get you again to care for the boys in the future. You have no idea what you've done to us - you have allowed us to take a break from 'furrental' duties which we haven't been able to do in years! You are amazing and we wish you all the best!

About: I care about them as if they were my own. They don't live as long as humans so they deserve the best life we can give them while they're here. The only experience and knowledge I have of dogs and cats is what I've learned on my own with my pets throughout my life. I don't have a job so my availability is mostly flexible. Looking for extra money, I don't have any special skills I just need extra money and love dogs and cats. The only thing I can think of that puts me apart from other services/sitters is the desire and drive to complete any task, besides my love for pets, I have a great work ethic that helps me be motivated to ensure every step was taken in completing a task. Money is also a great motivator but isn't the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life", that's a great interpretation of my work ethic. I'm currently unemployed. I usually have availability on Saturday, and Sunday. If I am available during the weekend I will update my schedule, otherwise that's my availability. I cannot offer boarding in my home because I live in an apartment where each pet in my home needs to be paid for and accounted for by my apartment management but I will treat your animals and living spaces like royalty and respect all responsibilities asked of me while I care for your pets in your home.

About: I've been taking care of dogs both family & friends for many years as well as a short time in a dog kennel! If you want someone who can keep up or chill out with your pets I am the person! I can comfortably do feeding, caring, bathing, playing, and anything else you may need as well as cleaning up any pet fluids or messes no problem. I'm doing online school and work overnights so your pets can have full attention whenever they want it! I have a very flexible schedule and can work last minute if you end up in a pinch. I'm comfortable staying overnight for more than one night or last minute for an emergency! I'm recently back on Rover and looking forward to it. I am very good with taking care to make sure pets don't get out, and that when i take them out they're secure in their harness/leash/yard and watch them attentively. I'm very strong so I have no problem even with big dogs and I am very careful when we do walks to watch for cars, people, and other animals.

Brittany so great with Roxie and Ellie. It was great to see pictures everyday and know that they were being taken such good care of. Brittany made sure that all their needs were fulfilled and that they were happy. I would recommend Brittany to take care of your fur babies anytime. Will definitely use her Services again.

About: Over the years, I have cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior pets needing special attention. I am highly comfortable with: Administering oral medications Managing leash pullers on walks Crater training and housebreaking routines Caring for anxious or shy pets I have worked as a vet tech and have done grooming. I also have done prior training and have shown my babies in Akc fun rally and obedience shows. I am a early retired per enthusiast. I find animals are the best therapy for a relaxing lifestyle. When your pet is with me, their safety and happiness are my top priorities. For Dog Walking: We will explore safe, dog-friendly routes, practice good leash manners, and get plenty of fresh air. I always bring fresh water, waste bags, and treats (if allowed!). For Pet Sitting: I stick strictly to your established feeding, potty, and playtime schedules to keep your pet's stress levels low while you are away. I understand how hard it is to leave your pets behind. I promise to send you daily photo and video updates so you always know how they are doing. Ensuring your pet gets plenty of direct attention and supervision are always my goals. I look forward to giving your pets the same love, care, and respect I would give my own!

About: I've taken care of animals my entire life. Cats, dogs, birds, iguanas, ferrets and a few farm animals too. I was involved in an animal rescue group for several years, fostering many animals who had health issues. I firmly believe that all animals deserve love, shelter, safety, and food. I fall in love with almost every animal I meet! Even chickens! When I'm taking care of an animal, they get a majority of my attention and affection. I do some work from home so it should blend well. I like to meet with the owners and pets a couple of times before to be sure the animals are familiar with me and learn any important information for each pet. I try to follow the owners routine so that the pets are not confused.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, so I’m very comfortable with all dog breeds. I can also take care of more than just dogs and cats—I have experience with ferrets, birds, snakes, large lizards, and small animals/rodents. If you have other pets, that’s totally okay! I love making sure dogs get plenty of outdoor time, and if yours is high-energy, I’ll keep them busy and entertained 😊 I work Monday–Friday and usually get off around 4:30 PM, but I keep my weekends open for bookings. I’m available after 4:30 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but I work until 9:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’m fully available on weekends. I know your pets miss you when you’re away, so I always make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I have five dogs of my own, so I’m very used to different personalities and energy levels, and I’ll treat yours like part of the family.

We had a great experience with Andrea. She was incredibly thorough, detail-oriented, and clearly took the time to make sure everything was handled exactly how we like it. Most importantly, Suma really enjoyed her and had a great time playing. She was always prompt and communicative, sending lots of updates, photos, and messages during her visits—which I know many pet owners will really appreciate. You can tell she genuinely cares and puts in the extra effort. She’s newer to Rover, but you wouldn’t know it from the level of care and professionalism she brings. We’d absolutely book her again!

Dawn did a good job taking care of Smoky and Sammie. She let us know what was going on and took pictures each time she visited. We appreciated that! We would like to give Dawn a $30.00 tip.

Dawn is an absolute lifesaver. I had an emergency while out of state and she stepped up with less than an hour's notice. ​Not only did she follow my specific technical instructions for my indoor bonsai trees perfectly, but she also has a great eye for detail. She noticed the cats' water bowl was empty even though a secondary bowl was full, showing she truly cares about the animals' well-being. She was professional, communicative, and handled everything flawlessly. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!
