About: I’ve had pets all my life, with experience caring for dogs of many different sizes and breeds. While taking care of your pet I will make them feel at home, maintain their routine with them and give plenty of attention. Pet care is vital in my house. With 3 animals to take care of, I have daily routines set in place in order to ensure my pets are well taken care of. We have a fenced in yard and space to run around, and a quiet, no-outlet neighborhood with no drive-thru traffic for walks. There is a dog bed for sleeping and a crate if needed.
“My cats are not easy - they need meds multiple times daily and they have been kind of fussy, not very hungry lately, etc. He did absolutely everything he could and I felt good about leaving them in his care. He gets to know what each cat likes and how to work with their quirks!”
“Kaitlyn was fantastic! I hadn't used Rover before and didn't completely know what to expect, but she did such a great job with my fluffy little buddy. If she's good with dropping by to take care of Loki again -- I think that'd be the case (but don't want to assume) -- I'll definitely book her again whenever I go out of town. And I definitely recommend Kaitlyn if you are looking for someone to watch after your furry, fuzzy, and/or fluffy buddy!”

About: I have 10 years of experience taking care of pets! I have walked puppies, middle aged, and elderly dogs, and I love hanging out with cats as well. I am reliable, punctual, and attentive. I’m excited to meet your pet! As a recent college grad, I take care of cats and dogs in my time off from work to make some extra money on the side doing something I love :) I will follow your instructions for drop-in visits in your home and/or walks.

About: I have close attention to detail, which is important when caring for pets. I’m able to identify behavior and appetite changes and provide proper care. I am patient, kind & caring. I have an open schedule during the summertime. When I’m not caring for others’ animals, I’m spending time loving on my own cat and often caring for my MIL’s senior dog. I pay close attention not only to giving your pet lots of love, but also their behaviors and appetite to ensure they are healthy & happy. I love to take dogs for walks and provide a comfortable and clean environment for cats & dogs. Pets can sometimes be apprehensive when meeting a new caregiver, so it’s important to be patient & kind as they get to know me and become comfortable.

We came home to clean litter, full food bowls, and two very content cats. Couldn’t ask for more! Will definitely use Grace’s services again!”

Melissa did a great job with my frail elderly dog and two cats. She was super conscientious, thorough, and communicated well. I will definitely call again next time I go out of town. Thanks, Melissa!
Jenn took excellent care of our two middle-aged female cats, both of whom tend to have issues with strangers. (One hides, the other scratches without provocation.) Jenn handled both of them expertly and kept us up-to-date during our 8-day vacation with brief reports and photos twice a day. We would recommend Jenn’s services to any responsible pet owner.
Emily did an amazing job watching my two cats! She gave thorough and fun updates and I knew my kitties were safe and having fun. My cats as specific diets and she was great with them and was communicative throughout
Brian helped me out in a pinch, as I needed to make a last-minute trip out of state for a family funeral. Grateful for his help!
Sara is a fantastic kitty sitter. She is a great communicator as well as caregiver. It's so nice to know our kitty will have Sara visiting while we're gone.
Rachael always does a great job! She is definitely my top choice for my cats. She takes wonderful care of them, sends a great report and takes 10+ photos every time.
We love Alli! She's reliable, caring and a great communicator. Our cat is often aloof to new people but loved her from the get go... and we all know pets are the best judges of character. :)
Kaitlyn was fantastic! I hadn't used Rover before and didn't completely know what to expect, but she did such a great job with my fluffy little buddy. If she's good with dropping by to take care of Loki again -- I think that'd be the case (but don't want to assume) -- I'll definitely book her again whenever I go out of town. And I definitely recommend Kaitlyn if you are looking for someone to watch after your furry, fuzzy, and/or fluffy buddy!
I can definitely see that Amanda did a wonderful job taking care of our cats. I could see in their faces in the updates and tell in their body language when we returned that they didn’t miss us too much. Amanda did a great job entertaining and maintaining their schedules. This was a stress free vacation for me and the cats!
Kim did a great job taking care of our cats! She provided lots of pictures and details letting us know how they were doing. Having her drop in really put us at ease while we were away. We will definitely book with her again!
I don't usually leave reviews, but I felt compelled to make an exception for Evelyn. She took excellent care of our pets with great attention and care. She followed every instruction to the letter and clearly takes her responsibilities seriously. It’s rare to come across someone so reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. Just a really nice kid with a great attitude. Highly recommended!
She is absolutely amazing, my cats loved her. She fed them, and played with them. It is really nice to have a caretaker for the cats that treat them like they matter. Cats have a 6th sense about people and they took to her right away. I would definitely have her take care of my pets again.
Jenna is such a reliable and caring sitter for my cat, Thelma. My mind is always at ease when Jenna is “on duty.”
I’m so happy to have found this service and Henry! He took such great care of my boys while we were in and out of town moving. Thank you so much Henry, we really appreciate all you did and will think of you the next time we need to go out of town.
Holly was absolutely amazing!! She is great with our two cats and they do well with her even with having shy personalities. We will definitely be using Holly for any future trips.
Cindy is great with communication, super easy to work with, and clearly cares about animals very much!
Megan did a great job taking care of my elderly dog and two cats. I appreciated the pictures while I was gone, and everything was in good shape with calm pets when I got home. Thank you, Megan!
This was my first time and I wanted to meet before leaving the state, McKenzie was willing to make time the day of her family Christmas gathering for me, her willingness reflected she takes the job seriously. Since I had a prior sitter cancel last minute I was very grateful McKenzie was reliable!
First time, Sierra was great, especially that she made time to meet me before Christmas to get acquainted. Because I was going out of state, I was so grateful there was no cancellation! Her notes showed warmth, that she enjoys her job, and she texted questions on a task that was unclear to make sure she got everything right. Glad to have a reliable sitter!
