“If there’d been a 10-star rating option for this sitter, I’d have selected it expeditiously! While I was away on a 10 day vacation halfway across the world, Michelle went beyond Rover expectations—she exceeded in every category, from feeding to cuddling to playing. She even cleaned and tidied up an unexpected accident my cat had left during her last visit. I’m super impressed and happily pleased with Michelle’s service. Would I ever rebook with her?. . .Is the sky blue? Yes 👏🏾 Yes 👏🏾 YES 🙌🏾”


About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and truly love being around them. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well loved. I treat every dog like my own and stick closely to their routines. I work part-time at a school, which gives me flexibility during the day and week to care for pets. I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins so pets get plenty of attention and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel comfortable and at ease. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention, and always have a safe, calm environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep things clean while making sure their pet feels loved and cared for.
“Phoebe was incredible! Provided detailed updates on how my cat was doing and made sure to spend quality time with him during each drop-in. She was very clear each day to provide an update on my cat’s upset stomach / health.”

“This was the first time leaving my baby and I was nervous, but even from the first meet and greet, I knew Lauren would be a great friend to Lucy. She did an amazing job, updating me, connecting with Lucy during her visits and adjusting her schedule to suit our needs. She took the time to prepare Lucy a yummy dinner and play with her favorite toys. Lucy adored her and was happy and healthy during my trip. I’m so glad we had Lauren to help and will definitely be coming back in the future!”

About: Hi, I’m Maddie! 🐾 I’ve had cats and dogs in my life since I was a baby — from tiny Pomeranians to big, lovable German Shepherds. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors (both dogs and cats!) and love giving pets the care, walks, and attention they deserve. I’m currently a medical resident, which means my schedule shifts weekly — but that actually gives me the flexibility to help care for your pets when you need it most. You can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and trustworthy (I take caring for your furry family members as seriously as I do my patients!). Whether it’s long walks, playtime, snuggles, or just keeping your pets company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐶🐱💛 As a medical resident, my schedule changes week to week, but I have flexibility for daytime, evening, and some weekend visits to fit your pet’s needs. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with my own small dog. There’s plenty of room for play indoors, and I have safe, walkable areas nearby for exercise and potty breaks. While I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of fresh air and supervised outdoor time. I can also crate pets upon request to match their routine and keep them comfortable.
“Laura was fantastic. She took extra precaution with feeding and safety. She communicated well and send lots of cute pictures. She also played with the kitties and they enjoyed her very much.”

“Catelyn has been awesome with my two elderly kitties every time. I can’t say enough good things about her. I will definitely ask Catelyn to watch them every time. I travel!”

“We are so happy with how Jill visited our home to feed our cats and interact with them. We received lots of pictures and updates on how they were doing and allowed us not to worry about the cats while we were away. 10/10 would recommend to everyone who needs someone to trust their cats with!”

“Jenn was an amazing pet sitter for our little kitties!! She was always on time for their food time and kept to our schedule with the litter box cleaning. She left us daily photos and an overall visit summary every time! We would 100% recommend her for anyone!! We will definitely be using her next time, and every time after that as well!”

“Jamie is an excellent cat sitter. He is dedicated and absolutely trustworthy. He has taken good care of my kitty, Felicia, numerous times. He always makes sure that she has everything that she needs. He is patient with her little quirks and moodiness whenever I am away. He always sends detailed updates and pictures to let me know how she is doing after each visit. I strongly recommend Jamie as a responsible and caring pet sitter.”

About: My family used to care for 4 English springer spaniels my entire childhood. That care include welcoming two adorable liters of puppies into the world!! I love all dogs big and small, young and old. I have a flexible availability if you need me to hang out with your pup when life gets in the way! I’m respectful and clean, and happy to accommodate any extra housesitting requests. I’m a very patient person so I’m perfectly suited for the craziest pets! I have three cats of my own that aren’t partial to dogs - but I am! I love to opportunity Rover give me to hang out with some puppers for a chance! Feel free to contact me with questions! I work three days a week from home and two in office, so my schedule is very flexible to meet your dogs needs! Weekends are always open I’m clean and respectful wherever I am, especially in other’s homes. I’d be happy to take on any extra household tasks if needed. Things like lawn care, plant care, etc. Just ask!
“Caroline was very responsive and accommodating on short notice. I was gone for quite a while but felt much better with the multiple pictures and updates.”

“Mae was amazing!! She stayed with my two kitties for 5 days and they were well taken care of during that time. They sent me daily pictures and kept in contact and promptly responded back when I sent a text. It was such a relief having someone to depend on when out of town. Don’t hesitate to have Mae stay with your animals… they will be happy and you will be at ease as well. Thank you Mae!! Will definitely use them again!!”

“Caitlin was great! She took great care of our cat and chickens during our weekend away. We loved the pictures and updates she shared during each visit! We will definitely be using her again for future pet sitting.”

“Niah was a great sitter! She was kind and enthusiastic at the our meet and greet. I knew my cats would be taken great care of and felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. Also had some last minute travel changes and was easy to contact and flexible which was appreciated. Would work again with Niah!”

“Brooklyn was the best taking care of my cat with heart failure. She was so happy to see him and left the sweetest notes and pictures of him! Will definitely be having her watch my baby again:)❤️”
