“Jessica looked after our 2 cats for 2 weeks while we were out of the country. She gave us detailed updates and sent us many photos of our kitties playing and eating treats which we greatly appreciated. One of our cats decided to be a troublemaker and opened the dresser drawer where his toys are kept. He then decided to take out all of his toys that he likes to play rough with and scattered them all over the apartment. We let Jessica know and she made an impromptu visit very quickly.”
“This is my 1st time using Rover and I'm glad I found someone as good as Katherine. She went above and beyond while I spent 10 days in Hawaii for my daughter's wedding. I will definitely use her again and my daughter and new son in law would like to use her as well. Thanks again Katherine.”
“Forest took great care of our cat for a few days. They followed all my instructions for her food, water, litter box, and treats. But the best part was that my cat, who can be very shy and skittish, loved Forest. Thank you so much!”
“Kim was responsive, friendly and great at giving updates on our pups! She spent time with them and communicated very well. We appreciated her flexibility and willingness to love on our pups!”
“Leah was great! She treated our kitty, Sammie, so well, and went over and above, giving time not just for feeding but fun time and play time. She sent us great pictures too. Cannot recommend Leah highly enough. She is our forever pet sitter! 😸”
“Sheila did an amazing job taking care of our pets while we were away! She was very professional and communicated with us throughout our trip. We would definitely book her again in the future!”
“Will was fantastic! I had a last minute request and he was super accommodating and was able to meet with me the same day. He provided detailed reports, pics, and videos. My cat was very comfortable with him and I would highly recommend him for your sitting needs!”
“Absolutely fantastic Petsit!! Seth took care of my pup recovering from surgery on 3 legs. He asked the right questions and was genuinely interested in the comfort and care of our little boy!! Very thankful and I will be booking him again!”
“Kimberley was the best pet sitter for my little sweets, Pumpkin! She responded to the inquiry quickly, came over same day to meet me, and took lots of pictures and left great updates each morning after dropping by. I felt very comfortable with her and could tell Pumpkin did too. I will definitely book with her again 🫶🏼”
About: I have taken care of animals my entire life, if it wasn’t me helping out friends or family with their pets, it was my own. I have 2 of my own large dogs and have had several cats in the past. I currently work fully remote and have an extremely flexible schedule. I have 2 large dogs of my own, so I’m not new to animals in any way. I will treat your pet(s) like they are my own and will respect your home in the process. Whatever they need, they will get! 😀
“Madison was amazing while watching our two cats for a week!! She sent great reports and pictures every day and made me feel very at ease. One of our cats is very shy of strangers and Madison was patient until the cat opened to her which I really appreciated. Would definitely book her any time!!”
“Lauren looked after our 2 cats for a weekend away and we highly recommend her! She sent detailed notes and photos and we felt completely comfortable while she was away! She even helped to bring in our Amazon packages, and met with us ahead of our trip for instructions. We will be a repeat customer in the future. You'll be in great care with Lauren!”
About: I have 1 year of experience caring for dogs and 2 years with cats. I’m patient, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, and giving basic medication. I’ve also helped care for senior cats and have experience with shy or nervous pets, making them feel safe and loved. I’m currently a PhD student with a flexible schedule. I’m available for pet care every day except Monday. Whether it’s daytime visits, evening check-ins, or weekend stays, I can adjust my time to fit your pet’s needs and routine. I provide in-home care at the client’s place to help pets stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I follow all care instructions closely, keep the space safe and clean, and always give pets the time and attention they need to feel relaxed and secure.

Jessica G.
“Jess is an amazing dog mom already! She has two dogs, Cooper and Bear. She is beyond responsible with their care and loves them unconditionally. Cooper requires prescription medication and she is always making sure his prescription is filled and he is taking the medication properly. She doesn't like leaving them alone for more than a couple of hours and will always plan for a friend or family to take them out if she can't make it home in time herself. I know the love and care she provides her dogs would spill over into the care and love she would provide to other dogs. She has also fostered a couple of kittens. Again, she ensured the kittens had everything they needed before even bringing them home. She treated the kittens as her own. She took the time to interact and cuddle them and enjoyed slowly introducing them to her dogs. Overall, Jess would be a very responsible and loving pet caregiver!”
Madison L.

Jie H.
“I hang out with him and his pets a lot. He really loves those little guys and always makes sure they’re happy and well taken care of. Whenever we chill together, his pets are full of energy and having a blast because Jie spends so much time playing and walking them. He’s super chill and responsible”

Fairfax cat parents share their Rover experiences
We have never left our 12 year old cat with a sitter before. During our trip Debrani visited our cat twice a day for two weeks.Debrani treated her as if she were her own, taking great care of her and giving her the affection that she needed. Debrani is truly a “cat whisperer”.
Kim did an excellent job taking care of our animals! She went above and beyond by coming over twice before we left just to make sure our dog was comfortable with her. She then sent pictures, gave us updates and offered to do an extra walk when she thought our dog could use it. Highly recommend! No drama, no issues, wonderful person!
Will was fantastic! I had a last minute request and he was super accommodating and was able to meet with me the same day. He provided detailed reports, pics, and videos. My cat was very comfortable with him and I would highly recommend him for your sitting needs!
Winnie is hands down the best cat sitter we’ve ever had! She genuinely cares about our cat, taking time to understand her personality and needs. We received daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind while away. Our cat was relaxed and well cared for when we returned, and everything from playtime to litter box cleaning was handled with care. If you want someone who treats your pets like family, Winnie is the one! Highly recommend!
