“Becky is amazing! After scouring Rover reviews looking for someone with cat experience for our beautiful girl Matilda, I found Becky. She was kind, communicative, and went out of her way to make Matilda feel at home during her stay. They even gave her her own room to stay in, which was fabulous. And despite two delays in our trip, Becky was super gracious in accommodating these changes. I cannot stress enough how thankful I am to find good people! And Becky is good people. Matilda enjoyed herself. Thank you so much!”


“Excellent communication and Kimberly did a great job with all of my requested items. Thank you for making my vacation less stressful! I will definitely use Kimberly again!”


“Nia put me at ease as soon as I met her! My cat has medical needs and she was so accommodating, judgement free, communicated if there was any concerns, and always kept me feeling like my boy was taken care of so I could enjoy my vacation. There are few people I trust him in the care of and I would book her ten times over. Can’t recommend her enough.”


“Sonja was terrific! She stayed with our cat Jingle for 3 weeks while we were on vacation. She communicated well, sent photo updates, cleaned house, watered plants and cleaned up Jingle’s, umm, dead critters in the house! She went above and beyond what was expected and I would recommend her whole heartedly!! Thanks, Sonja😍”


“Chris is an amazing sitter! This was my first time using Rover and he put me right at ease. He took such good care of my kitty and sent me pictures all throughout the stay. He also left my place in great condition and was very flexible with timing. I highly recommend him!”

“Amanda was very reliable and great with communication. It’s always scary not knowing someone well and having them stay at your house with your pets and she over exceeded our expectations. We appreciate it! Will definitely keep her on our list for the future!!”


About: I have a lot of experience with many different ages and types of pets and love to treat them as my own. I have been hired by many families to care for their pets ranging from guinea pigs to multiple dog households who rely on my responsibility and care. Not only is it important to me for your pets to trust me but also owners to trust my abilities to take care of your pets needs! I am prepared to do whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable and loved! I am currently working part time shifts ranging from 9am-3pm. I am available to look after your pets before my shifts, after, and night/overnight. Your pets will be my number one priority in making sure I give them the best care and attention! I pay close attention to them to know what they need whether it be food, going outside, playtime, or just being snuggled! Any accommodations your pets need will be given to them as well.

About: I am very experienced with all types of animals. I own and operate a small farm raising cattle, goats, and chickens. I have 5 dogs, outside cats, fish and a turtle. I am experienced with puppies as 3 of my dogs were puppies when I adopted them and one had puppies. I have a large area for animals to play and go on walks. I am very respectful of other people homes. I have had an extensive background check for my day job . Capable of following instructions and interacting with pets of all shapes and sizes. I am home every evening starting at 5 and home all day on weekends. I will make sure your pet has plenty of playful interactions and love. If your furrbaby stays at my farm, they will have plenty of new smells to sniff. In your home I will be respectful of your possessions and leave it as I found it. I can send pictures to let you know how your pet is doing while you're away.

About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve always had a big heart for all types of animals! I have rescued kittens and other animals since I was young, and there has never been a time in my life where I did not have a pet to care for. My full time job is only 2 days a week, so the rest of my time can be focused on your pet. I walk my own dogs daily and love to be outdoors, so there isn’t a request to far fetched! (Pun intended) Your preferences and concerns will always be the forefront of discussions on how I will care for your beloved fur baby. I’m willing to treat them as my own and no request is too much to ask, after all you are entrusting me with your best friend!

About: I've had different types of pets my whole life - dogs, cats, ferrets, horses, etc. I harbor so much love and passion for animals and positive care. I have experience as kennel staff at a vet clinic where I fed and cleaned up after cats & dogs, and walked & bathed dogs as needed. I've cared for puppies, kittens, as well as senior cats and dogs. I have experience giving medication such as pills, chewables, liquid oral meds with a syringe, and insulin shots for a diabetic cat. I work full-time as a paraeducator, so while school is out my schedule is pretty flexible for the summer to pet-sit and go on routine walks with pets as needed. Caring for pets in my clients' homes, I calmly greet pets upon arrival so I don't over-excite them. I follow owners' specific instructions thoroughly to ensure safe and proper care for each animal and their individual needs. If I am letting animals out for a walk or into a yard, I check to make sure fences/gates and that leashes/tie-out lines are safe and secure before having the pets go outside.

About: I’ve had a dogs in my life, since I was a child, and was introduced to cats as I ventured into the collegiate life. As an adult I have cared for dogs primarily, but recently had the opportunity to take care of the sweetest cats! I am fairly patient with pets and like to give them as much space as they like to try to not mess up the routines, but if they are balls of energy and cuddle bugs, I am more than happy to comply! I believe that walks and healthy roaming space is good for a dog’s, development and energy, and respecting a cat to make the first move to ensure respect and comfort to their environment. Hi! I’m a full-time high school interpreter and a lifelong animal lover. During the school year, I spend my days helping students thrive in the classroom — and now that summer’s here, I’m excited to dedicate my time to caring for your pets! I like doing research on the neighborhoods that I’m going into if it’s a new area, and like to understand what you have available, either a dog park, or a fenced backyard, to really understand how to best care for your dog. My dog is a big ball of energy so I have learned a lot of skills to be able to make sure that they stay in their assigned spaces, I do like to keep them with me on my lap as I work, or nearby letting them enjoy a nap.

“Shelly is Awesome! You couldn’t ask for a more reliable and attentive caregiver! I highly recommend her. She cared for my two kitties, both are very old and fragile and I felt confident that they were well cared for!”

Angela G.
“Angela does a wonderful job with my 3 dogs. I go on vacation and leave them in her care for a week to 10 days at a time. While I’m gone I know that they will be loved and cared for as if I never left! She walks them every day, makes sure they are fed and safe and keeps them calm. We have one dog that is especially anxious and he stays calm when Angela is there. The dogs are always so excited to see her when she comes to the house. 10/10 stars! Highly recommend!”
