“Rucha & Ethan did a wonderful job caring for my two needy cats over thanksgiving! I had a worry-free trip because they were so communicative, and my cats really loved them. I have one cat that gets very very stressed out when I’m away, and he showed zero signs of stress (diarrhea/ vomit/ hiding)! I am SO grateful ❤️and look forward to having them watch the kitties when I’m away again. Thank you!!”

“Kaylee is an excellent pet sitter! She took care of our two cats for 12 days while we were away, and we never had to worry about a thing. She keeps you updated and informed of everything going on with your pets, and cares for them like they were her own. You will love having her take care of your pets and your pets will love her too! Our shy cat, who is always under the bed whenever anyone comes over to our house, warmed up to Kaylee incredibly quickly. We will definitely book her again in the future,”

“Nicole did an outstanding job taking care of my cat and snake. Right from our meet-and-greet, Nicole helped me feel more at ease about leaving my cat Plum at home during a cross-country vacation. Nicole was not only friendly and personable, but highly detail-oriented, and even took notes! Plum is a very people-oriented cat and I was worried that she would get under-stimulated when we were away for a week, but Nicole kept her entertained by playing with her favorite toys and giving her lots of love. Plum was happy as a clam when we got home! On each Rover card, Nicole sent detailed notes about the tasks she did during each visit, which assured me that she followed my instructions to a T. An unexpected issue came up with our snake, and Nicole went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and that our snake was safe. Thank you so much, Nicole!”

“Would highly recommend Sara! She’s easy to work with. She is responsible and responsive. She took great care of my cat when I’m away. Would totally work with her again in the future.”

“From the first moment I met Dina I knew she was going to be terrific with my cats. She absolutely fell in love with them at first sight! She is caring, attentive, loving, and truly cares about the well-being of my babies. I will most definitely be calling on Dina for help in the future!”

“Rossy was an excellent sitter for my shy kitty. Not only did she keep her food and water topped off and litter clean, but she also put in a lot of effort to interact with my cat who, unfortunately, hid the whole time. It was so nice knowing that my kitty was at least having someone there to spend time with her, even if she was too scared to come out. I would highly recommend Rossy and will definitely book her in the future!!”

About: I grew up in an animal loving household and have always jumped at any opportunity to spend time with and care for many types of pets. I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was 15 and it’s never felt like a job because I love to do it! I am in school full-time but it is online, so my hours are very flexible. As long as I have notice, I can accommodate whatever timing is most convenient for you. My number one priority is making sure your pet feels as safe and comfortable as possible. I will take things at their pace and make sure to maintain open communication with you, the client, so I know how to properly see to your pet’s specific needs.

“Lily was great! She is very easy to communicate with and took great care of our cats. When something weird happened with the house she was proactive about reaching out to deal with it, which I really appreciated.”

About: Hi there! My name is Sionainn (pronounced “Shannon”), and I love dogs- a lot! I have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and special needs. I love going for long walks and having involved playtime sessions, and will make sure your dog is having the time of their life! I cared for my dog, Lucy, from puppyhood through her senior years (1 to 16.5 years old). I also have experience with high-anxiety dogs, and I understand the patience and gentleness they require. In addition, I’ve provided regular care for a diabetic cat over several years, including insulin administration. No matter what special care your pet may need, I’m confident and comfortable providing it! Finally… you probably don’t have a goat—but if you did, I’ve got experience with those too! I am a graduate student, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to your pets throughout the day. I also have a car, so as long as parking is available, getting to you is no problem! I provide personalized care based on your pet’s unique needs and routine. Whether it’s sticking to a special diet, administering medication, or giving extra attention to energetic puppies or senior pets, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Sarah is a wonderful cat sitter! I really appreciate her gentle and thoughtful approach to caring for my cat who can be a little skittish around new people. She has taken the time to slowly build a relationship with my cat over multiple visits- giving him space to get used to her, while also trying to engage with him from a respectful distance. Prior to her first visit, she asked thorough questions about my cat's needs and preferences, which was very comforting. I'm looking forward to having her watch my cat more in the future!”

“Christel went above and beyond! She took care of my cat as if she were my own, and always sent updates and photos and was responsive, which helped with my anxiety as a first-time user of Rover. I was very pleased with how much attention my Mina had while I was away.”
