“Randi did a great job watching our three cats - even our shy one came out to play with her! The kitties are all very happy after we've been gone, a testament to Randi's care. Would highly recommend working with her.”

I forgot to mention that my old buddy has a slight limp because of his arthritis and Liam was allll over it to make sure he was ok/it wasn’t a new injury. Easy to schedule with and great with Moose, will absolutely book again!”

“I recently hired Annika to take care of my cat for the first time, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! My cat liked her and formed a good connection. Annika’s calm and gentle approach immediately put my cat at ease, and they quickly bonded. Seeing my cat connect with her was reassuring, as his well-being is my top priority. Throughout the pet-sitting period, Annika provided exceptional care ensuring my cat's needs were met. Annika went the extra mile by engaging my cat in interactive play sessions and providing him with affection and companionship. I highly recommend Annika as a cat pet sitter. Her professionalism, genuine love for animals, and ability to form a great connection with my cat were outstanding. Thank you Annika!”

“Alexander seemed to do a good job with my cat Carlos, sending me photo's etc. However apparently Carlos wasn't fond of Alex and seemed aggressive according to Alex. I am sorry about that. Alex gave me peace of mind that my cat was Oaky.”

“Ashton took care of our 2 cats for a whole week and we couldnt be happier with how it went! She was super friendly and flexible, and it was clear that our cats loved her! She took such fun pictures and made our cats feel so comfortable. Definitely will be re-booking!”

About: Almost all of my experience as a dog owner and sitter is with dogs that have come from shelters or other adopted situations. I have owned “retired” greyhounds that were severely traumatized, I have cared for small dogs with unknown, but clearly extremely difficult, past traumas, and I have stayed and bonded with boxers and pit bulls who are slow to trust but then become bed-hogging cuddlers! Recently, I had my first experience helping train a puppy! I spent five months with a family and their sweet cavipoo house training and leash training. I teach from home and so I am always home! Well, except for the occasional errand, appointment, etc. So, I would love the extra company and the excuse to get out of the house and get some exercise! I live in an apartment building so I do not have a fenced yard. However, I live on Lafayette Park where I walk daily. It is incredibly safe and I have gotten to know many of the pet parents in the building and the neighborhood. I have two five month old kittens that I adopted from a foster home two months ago where they lived with a dog. I am hoping to keep them exposed to other animals so that when I have a larger place, I will be able to expand my family of pets.

“We booked a week-long request with Sydney, with morning/evening visits. We were nervous to be away from our cat for so many days, but Sydney provided many updates and pictures during their time together that we knew he was spending quality time with a kind friend. I’m sure our cat is excited to see Sydney again for the next time she visits, she is very caring and in tune with his needs!”

About: Hello, My name is Camila and I'm here to take care of any of your furry friends. I absolutely love animals; I'm a dog person but also love cats. I grew up with a dog and ever since have loved animals. I also lived with a cat for two years. I assure you your pet couldn't be in better hands. I am kind and loving towards all animals. I've animal sat for several people in the past and would love to do the same for you! I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, fishes, and various other animals. I am open to sitting, boarding, walking, and much more. As I said before, I love all animals and can't wait to talk to you regarding your pet.

“Joseph was extremely accommodating and helpful while we were abroad for a week and a half. He sent pictures, ran by the house to do me a favor, and made sure the cats were well taken care of. I definitely recommend.”

“Jeannette was a great cat sitter! She looked after my two boys when I was out of the country. She gave them extra treats and sent me really lovely photos. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

About: I am a first year medical student who loves to play and care for animals. I have been caring for all types of animals for the past 10 years, including but not limited to dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, hedgehogs, etc. I have personal experience caring and training my dog who was diagnosed with glaucoma which caused her to become blind in one eye. This means that I have to administer eye drops into her eye every night. I have trained her to go to her bed and sit patiently to allow me to input her eye drops peacefully in an exchange for a treat. In high school I also helped train puppies to become guide dogs for the blind. I am able to care for wild and rambunctious dogs to relaxed and care-free dogs. With these special skills and personal experiences, I will be able to ensure that your dog is cared for as if they are my own. I understand that dogs are a huge part of your family and will do my best to make sure they are treated with love. As a full time student, I have flexibility in my schedule to fit in pet care into my weekly routine. I like to implement breaks into my study schedule and what good way to rest than playing/caring for animals! While I am unable to board / care for animals in my own home, I will be able to go to the pets home and care for them there. I can do house visits to feed or care for them in the home or take them out for walks around your neighborhood.

“Christine was communicative and took great care of my kitty while I was away. I couldn't recommend her more!”

“Breanna really cared about our elderly cat so he was well cared for. She administered his medication on time and accurately. I will definitely book her for future trips!”

“Muggy loved Camille. . I had many questions since this was my first Rover stay she answered all of them. She was flexible when I had to change my time. Completed every task I asked her to do. Proided a picture of Muggy. I think we are lucky to found her and will use her again.”

About: *It’s kitten season! We might have a foster litter in our back room, completely separate hallway with a closed door. If this concerns you, we can adapt and move them* Hello there, My name is Karen / but not 'a Karen,' I swear. I volunteer walking dogs at the local shelter so am comfortable with pretty much all pets (but we do live in an apartment so please see bottom section for ones we cannot care for). We have fostered everything from energetic puppies to FIV+ cats, couch potatoes to zoomie kings-and-queens. Seniors and animals who need lots of affection are our specialties! We have no resident pets. Fosters come and go and will be noted on the top line if current residing. I am not regularly working because of some health issues, so there is a ton of flexibility in my schedule and in our home. If I'm not around, my boyfriend Dave usually is: sometimes he might be the one caring for and walking your pet, or meeting up with you for pick up/drop off. Once in a while, I work 8 hour shifts on weekends, but he is home during that. After doing Rover for a few months, we realized that Dave ends up doing quite a bit! Please know that even though you'll mostly be messaging me through the app, he will play a very big part in the pet-sitting. Between the two of us, your pet will not be alone much at all while boarding. We also have lots of toys, beds, a crate, and snacks, so all you’ll have to bring is food. To me, there is no point in having a pet unless you're going to spoil them. I will do everything possible to make sure your loved one isn't missing you too much. There are a few pets we’re unable to take. Our apartment can be noisy with people outside, neighbors coming in and out, etc…If your dog is nervous and fearful, those noises can exacerbate that in an already strange situation/new place for them. We also want to be respectful of our neighbors so cannot take loud, constant barking. A normal amount is expected : ) I typically do photos and updates once in the evening around 7:00 or 8:00 but can do more or less if you’d like! I tend to be a yapper so try to limit myself to just once haha Generally, I just am very loving to all creatures. I volunteer a lot and am used to many, many kinds of animals. I live in a loft, so that can be confusing sometimes for dogs who are used to going potty in a yard (leashed potty break on a city street and puppy pads are what typically do here), but there is plenty of space to run around in the loft because it is one open space, so playtime is not an issue.
