“Juan is AMAZING!! He went above and beyond with communication and over all care! My pup has special meds and Juan had no problem with it when feeding breakfast and dinner(: Juan went out of his way to go to a pet store to grab a sweater for my pup because it was cold out during their walks 🥹 It was so comforting to know Brody was with someone who goes the extra mile!! 10000% recommend!!!”
“Colleen and Sean were excellent catsitters! They were very punctual and handled our tricky lock well. We came home to two happy cats and hope they can watch them again!”
“Phoebe is always a great drop-in sitter for my cat! She is very attentive to her needs and my kitty, who can be shy, has warmed right up to her. Would definitely recommend Phoebe to any other cat parents looking for drop-in care.”
About: I have taken classes in dog behaviors and how they act when they might need a particular action done. I have a NAPPS certification, which is National Association of Professional Pet Sitters that is earned for all small animals, both including dogs and cats. I have had my own very young puppy, so I know how to handle and train them in a gentle manner that they will respond to. I have tons of experience in senior dogs and cats, so I am patient to more slow animals or paying attention to them more and making sure they have what they need. I have an extremely open schedule and can stay over for longer periods of time than most people. I am free almost every single day for hours on end, so finding when I can come over is no trouble. I’m easy to schedule if I need to house sit, and am extremely responsible and willing to stay overnight when needed. I love taking care of animals in their own homes, knowing they’ll feel the most comfortable surrounded by their familiar surroundings. The only thing I care about is that your furry companions are safe and cared for in a way that they don’t feel out of place or missing the love they got before you left them in my care.
“Taylor has been our go-to Rover walker for Shiloh for over a month now. She is so consistent, thorough, and professional! She’s also helped me out in a couple of last minute pinches where a friend of mine cancelled last min and Taylor was able to make it work. My pup is so anxious and doesn’t always warm up to people quickly, but that wasn’t the case with Taylor. I know Shiloh is getting great care when Taylor is here and that gives me so much peace when I can’t be here! Highly recommend Taylor for all of your dog sitting needs!”
“Josie took care of our two cats Darcy and Noodle, and we only have good things to say. She gave them all the attention, pets, and brushes they could want.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was young. I’m a live-in nanny, and the dogs I care for also babysit. When their owners are away, they sleep with me in bed. I love taking them for walks outside. I’ve trained them to listen to me in both Thai and English. I have experience walking dogs outside. I have over five clients who trust me to walk their dogs. I’m usually available from 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM on weekdays (Except Tuesday), and after 8 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Occasionally, I’m free all day on Saturdays. Additionally, I’m available after 1 PM every Sunday. I’d be delighted to take care of your dogs or walk them around your neighborhood. For my host family’s dogs, I walk them on weekdays and take care of them 24/7 when their owner is away. I take them out to the backyard or front yard so they can have some freedom.
“Monica is a responsible and professional cat sitter who consistently exceeds expectations. She goes above and beyond her duties, ensuring that our pets are in the best hands. We are incredibly grateful for her exceptional care and dedication. Thank you, Monica!”
“Aislyn was wonderful with our puppy Scout. She was super responsive, on-time, and provided great pictures and write-ups of our visit. That was especially important to us as Scout is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving her home alone for the first time. Scout always looked so happy in the pictures and when we came home from work!”
“Michaela is fantastic! Incredibly responsive and goes above and beyond to care for your furry friends. Would absolutely recommend to anyone needing a pet-sitter. She’s the best!”
“This was our first time having Isabelle and her dad care for our two cats, and they are delightful caregivers. They were caring, responsive, and the cats clearly loved the visits!”
“I honestly don’t know what we would have done without Dow! He was so incredibly helpful when our travel plans got messed up and took such great care of our high maintenance dog! He’s amazing!”
“Yiting was great! She took care of my cat super well while I was away for the holidays. She provided daily updates and photos, as well as some videos. She even got him a new toy! Appreciate all the care and attention for my little guy.”
“Sophia took great care of our puppy. She asked lots of good questions (including many I hadn't thought of) to prepare and I felt we were in safe hands. We are still crate training so it was all a bit chaotic but Sophia was very helpful. Hope to have her back again soon!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 11 years now. I’ve owned 3 dogs and have loved every moment with them. Additionally, I did pet sit one of my friend’s dogs for 3 days. Some stuff I would do with my pets include: Meal prepping homemade food so I could feed breakfast and dinner, giving baths, going on walks around my neighborhood, and lastly having fun with them with toys. UPDATE: IM BACK HOME AND AVAILABLE FULL TIME …….ignore this part : Im currently in College and also a student athlete playing soccer. I am available basically every day. I do have practices and classes so if I am available I will accept! Hopefully my schedule will fit into any of yours! I would love to take care of your pet at your home and make sure he is entertained and well fed. I could also take to any park if you need.
“Mya is a wonderful sitter! She is incredibly caring with our cat, and she always makes sure to give her plenty of love and attention. We will absolutely book with her again.”
“Maria did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats while we were away! I really appreciated the little updates and photos of how they were doing. They were happy and well taken care of, and I would definitely entrust our fur babies with Maria again in the future!”
Arlington-East Falls pet parents share their Rover experiences
It was love at first sight for Logan the cat. He responded affectionately from the first moment. Sammi gave him daily TLC. Even his favorite toys took second place to cuddling with Sammi. It gave me great peace of mind, knowing that Logan was with such a loving and professional caregiver.
We are so greatful to having Taylor as the sitter for our cat. She has been doing such great job taking good care of the cat, organizing her daily routine and the space is nice and clean. If you just got home from a long flight and you will understand what I am talking about.
I needed someone to take care of my Aeris (18 year old kitty) last minute over the Thanksgiving holiday and Lindsay came to my rescue. From the initial meetup to the final drop-in, Lindsay was incredible, personable, professional, courteous, and took excellent care of Aeris while I was gone. The pictures she sent every day showed me that Aeris was fine and taken care of. She also let me know I was out of food and running low on treats, brought in my order for more food/treats, and filled up Aeris' containers along with also taking care of his litter box. I never had a concern that Aeris wouldn't be well taken care of and would definitely book with Lindsay again!
Breidy was absolutely fantastic with my cat, Odin. She visited him a total of nine times while I was away and took exceptional care of him on each visit. She was reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. I always felt at ease knowing she was checking in — her updates and photos were thoughtful and consistent, and it was clear Odin felt safe around her. I would highly recommend Breidy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dependable cat sitter. Odin and we are both grateful for her excellent care!
Haley looked after my cat for 9 days and was a great caretaker and followed instructions. I have a very shy and skittish cat but she made the effort to try to play with him if he was willing. She kept me updated on whether he was eating or any unusual behaviors. I’d definitely recommend her as a sitter for any cats!
