“I will have to book Jen again as my dog will sure miss her! She was wonderful and so easy to work with. Momo will definitely be sad she won’t see you as often. Thank you for all you do!”
“We booked Abigail and Ian last minute to let Pancho out, and they were amazing! They responded quickly, were super friendly, and made us feel completely comfortable trusting them to come into our home. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Our first time having Maggie care for our cats went great! After spending a year and a half working hard to integrate our two cat household, this was our first time leaving them alone together for more than a day, and one of our kitties needs daily anxiety medication to keep the peace. We were gone for 5 days and when we came back everyone was happy, healthy and the house looked just as it did when we left it. Will definitely be using Maggie again in the future if our schedules align!”
“Tina was very communicative and thorough with her questions ahead of the visit to ensure she had everything needed day of without any uncertainties. She also met our dogs twice ahead of the visit for everyone's mutual benefit and comfort. Tina provided detailed notes of our dogs outings, feeding, and activities, along with photos of their time. I know our animals had a great visit with Tina and would recommend her to any perspective sitting needs.”
“Nasimul was incredible with my two boys. He was a great communicator and checked in with me when one of them was acting weird. They loved him by the end of the week. Would definitely trust them with my cats again”
“Grace did an amazing job with our kitties, she sent pictures and updates everyday which we really appreciated while out of town. One of our cats who is usually very shy/timid loved Grace immediately! We also had cats who were still being introduced and needed to be kept separate while we were away, Grace made sure to give everyone plenty of attention while keeping them safe in their own spaces. I would absolutely recommend Grace to anyone looking for a cat sitter, and we will definitely consider rebooking with her in the future!”
“Communication with Annmarie was easy and clear and her updates were very appreciated. My cat and dog clearly had a nice time with her. Would definitely book with her again.”
About: I have experience taking care of a high medical needs cat. I also have experience with deaf and blind cats. I understand each pet is an individual and will adjust my care as I get to know them. Some pets love human interaction and others need their space. I’m absolutely ready to kiss and hug them or give them the distance they need to feel safe. Nothing like the smell of fresh litter in the morning! I am a cat mom to 2 playful, cuddly adopted babies. I recently became a volunteer at a cat shelter, which gives me so much purpose. I have a full time job Monday-Friday. I am looking to occasionally pet sit on weekends and early mornings on weekdays. Home is a sacred place. I will treat your pets and your space respectfully. I can send you all the photos you need to feel comfortable, or video call you. I am comfortable cleaning up after your pet, and giving them all the cuddles and words of affirmation they need while you are away.
“Katherine was very responsive and flexible. She seemed to put a lot of thought into making sure my cat was having a good time, making sure that she had both play time and cuddle time.”
“Jennifer was great with both of my dogs. One is a bit fearful but she was able to win him over easily. They were so nice and relaxed when I got home, it was so nice to know they were so well cared for”

Also they are both fully up to date on their vaccinations. I have 2 years experience watching dogs on Rover of a wide breed, size, and age range.

About: I’ve owned a cat for the last five years and have looked after friend’s cats and dogs many times over the years. I grew up with a cocker spaniel and a toy poodle and have looked after dogs of all sizes. I’m currently working full-time, so I’m mostly available in the mornings before work, evenings after work, or some evenings. I love to stay active and am eager to spend more time with animals. I am happy to come to your home to feed and walk (if needed) your pets while you are on trips or away for whatever reason.
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, and birds in the house, and I've always been an animal lover! In addition to taking care of my own pets, I've also taken care of cats and dogs for family, friends, neighbors, and acquaintances. I have 11+ years of personal experience with drop-in care for cats and dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as dog walking. I currently have a very flexible and open schedule that allows for plenty of time for drop-in visits or walks around the neighborhood for your furry friends! I am very reliable and discrete, and I will abide by any and all house and pet care rules that might be set by clients. My top priority is that the needs and desires of the clients and their pets are precisely met.
“Madalyn’s drop in cat care was perfect! She kept my cats well-fed and watered, cleaned out the litter box, and played with them with their favorite toys. She sent me lots of photos and videos too!”

Emerson East pet parents share their Rover experiences
Claire was so incredibly thoughtful! She took the best care of both my boys while I was on a vacation for the first time since I’ve got them! Claire sent me detailed updates with each visit and took the sweetest photos of my boys while I was away. As much as I missed them, I knew they were having a blast and I was less anxious about being away from them while they were in her care. She went above and beyond my expectations! I will definitely have her again as my first choice to look after them if I ever need it again in the future! 😊
Samantha is great with my dogs. I have one very shy dog and one super smiley dog and Samantha had them both super happy and excited to see her. She noticed one of my dogs was drinking a ton of water and let me know right away so I could keep an eye on it. She is a real treasure
I cannot say enough about how wonderful Sophie was! She is an excellent communicator—always replied quickly and clearly to messages, and when in person, she not only listened attentively to all the things I was sharing but also consolidated it into a plan for her time with Action Jackson, which she formulated and articulated before she left our meet-&-greet. During the days of drop-in sitting with my kitty, she was amazing with some last minute flexibility, which helped me a ton. She sent several pics for each drop-in and wrote about how things went. You could see she executed her plan and provided active play for my kitty. She even helped with logistics of dropping off / picking up my keys. Could not have been more grateful for her help! Truly recommend!!
Bailey takes such great care of our girlie when we’re out. She’s reliable, communicative & so sweet to our girl. Charlie had some stomach upset while we were away & Bailey went above & beyond to take care of Charlie while she wasn’t feeling well, problem solving with us & even cleaning up after her. Truly cannot thank you enough Bailey! Knowing you’re with Charlie is the ultimate peace of mind!
Nina did an excellent job caring for our cats and fish while we were out of town. She was on top of feeding and medication schedules, kept the litter boxes tidy, and the water dishes were all full when we got home. I usually have to do a bit of damage control after a long trip because the pet sitter doesn’t keep up with all the various needs, but I am super impressed with Nina’s work—as far as my pets go, it’s like we weren’t gone at all.
