About: I have had a cat since the day I was born! Some of my cat sitting skills include; care for elderly cats, being able to give shots (my cat had diabetes), and also assisting in cat births! I love cats so much and have so much more love to give! I will ensure your fur babies get the exact care that they need. I am currently a substitute teacher! I have my teacher degree for high school history and have been trying to land a job! My schedule is completely flexible since I only sub! I make sure that my kitties have healthy food, a ton of enrichment, cozy places to sleep, and get lots of love! In your home, I would make sure they have everything they need! I will also make sure to send tons of pictures because I know how it is to be away from your animals :)

Sterling was great! He always showed up within the given time window and gave my baby some love. I really appreciated the notes and pictures he’d leave on the Rover Card as well. Seeing that my kitty was being sociable and playing with his toys made me very happy. Also, I noticed in one of the pictures that Sterling took his shoes off in the house. I appreciated that SO MUCH because we are a shoes-off home to keep the floors clean. This booking was made because of a trip that was made on short notice, so Sterling being very easy to get in touch with made everything easy and worry-free. He was very personable and clearly knowledgeable about cats, so I felt safe leaving my furry baby with him. I would definitely recommend booking Sterling and I will be booking him again in the future! Thanks again!

This is I think our third time having Emily visit the cats, and we already have a fourth scheduled. The cats love her and we know we can trust her to keep the cats happy while we are gone. We will continue to schedule Emily every time we can.

I am SO glad we found Ashley on Rover! She was excellent with our kitten and made her feel loved while we were away for a week. My kids and I loved seeing the update each night with photos to see how Buttercup was doing. I look forward to future bookings with her whenever we need to have the animals watched by someone trustworthy. 100% excellent!!! ♥️♥️♥️

About: Hi I'm Emily and I would love to take care of your furry friends! I have Scott AFB access and am happy to pet sit on base. I grew up around dogs and now have two cats. I have regularly pet-sat for friends, coworkers, and neighbors. For drop-in visits, I am happy to feed, play with, clean-up after, and any other care that might be needed! I am currently a masters student working part time and wanted to fill some of my extra time taking care of fur babies! I am available to do drop-in visits (for both dogs and cats) and dog-walking. When walking dogs, I'm willing to go on more rigorous hikes or do simple neighborhood walks and anything in between. I am currently working part-time while going to school online, so I have extra hours in my day to take care of your furry friends! I am generally available between 7-9am and 2pm-8pm for drop-ins or walking. When doing drop-ins, I will make sure that your pet is safe and happy, ensuring they have not damaged or interfered with anything that could put them in harm's way. As a cat owner, I am familiar with pets that like to mess with things they are not supposed to!

Melissa provided excellent care for our cat Eska. She is knowledgeable about cats, and really took the time to learn about our cat before beginning her drop-ins. We have an older cat and it meant a lot to see the focus that Melissa put on providing good care. In addition, Melissa was very flexible and worked with us through several date changes as we planned our cat’s care.

I performed health checks as well as washes to pups! Provided fresh water and plenty of love! Just moved here from Florida and now I currently manage at your local Petsmart! I currently have open availability. Also, if you contact me a few weeks beforehand for sitting requiring me to stay in the home, I can gladly take off to come and watch your precious bean! Currently I can not work from home. Im interested in Long-term or ongoing care and any thing else! I have 1 furry friend currently, one passed away of old age at 17 years and required a lot of attention. I cared for his wounds, giving medication, etc. I have one other who will be 16. As an expierenced dog owner, I give my dogs their medications as needed, follow special dieting and so forth. I pay PLENTY attention to them as well. I have expierence of taking care of dogs of ANY age being Ive had these two since pups. I used to dog sit up North in New Jersey area and I absolutely loved it! I enjoy spending quality time with dogs whether it be playing outside, going for a walk, or just relaxing together. I do believe in getting your dog outside activity to keep them healthy and fit as well. I also accept any reasonable pay, not just what's on my profile. I have flexible schedule and Id be more than happy to try and work around this to provide a service both you and youre beloved pet will enjoy! I now have a corgi, who is an angel.

Nicole has been a God send. She keeps my up to date and informed during her visits if one of my pets isn’t doing well. Even offered to get more food for my cat after the dog ate up all his food. I always check with her first when I have to travel.

About: Pets give us light in our lives, they love us unconditionally. Hi, my name is August, and I want to help you care for your four, three, and two legged furry family members! I understand the need to make sure your pets are taken care of while you're away; whether it be for a few hours or a few weeks, it still feels like forever. I am here to make things easier for you and your pet while you spend time away from each other. My experience comes from years of caring for my own dog, cat, and a few exotic pets as well as caring for my clients pets since 2017. During the time I watch your pup or kitty, for however long, I consider them my priority, and will treat them with that same love and care I would with my own family. You can also look forward to quality photo updates of your pet, as I double as a photographer when I can. Many of my clients tell me their dog or cat warms up to me faster than others, that they usually have trouble with people but not with me. No matter the case, when I meet your pet they will sense my energy, nature, and presence, and as a result, your dog or cat will feel very comfortable with me. 🙂 I look forward to taking care of you furbaby! I have a flexible schedule and this is my main job. I am home most of the day, if not all day, and never gone for more than a few hours. When I take care of your furry family members in the comfort of their home, I make sure they feel at ease by taking my time with them, letting them acclimate, and making sure they know they are safe. I tend to try to perform the same routines as my clients to create a sense of familiarity and consistency in the home. When I'm dogsitting in my home, I take a similar approach and make sure to acclimate them slowly and maintain the same routine they would have in their own home! I take one client at a time for this and maintain safety in my home.

This is my first time using Rover. Jennifer made it so easy and was amazing. She looked after my kitty and was super responsive. I really appreciate she helped us with our cat due to it being a small job which can be harder to find someone to accommodate. I will definitely be back when we need help for weekend getaways for our pup and cat. Thank you Jennifer!

Melissa continues to be awesome, both to work and interact with, and to our pets. Our scaredy cats actually don't mind when she's around, which is ~huge~ for them! :-) She always takes great care of them, keeps us informed of how they're doing, and just generally makes us feel more comfortable being away. We'll continue to work with her on future needs.

Brianna is the best! She took great care of our pets while away. Our dog Colby wasn’t feeling well as he gets very anxious sometimes especially when we’re away and she did a wonderful job with him. Very punctual and communicated everything going on. Would 100% recommend!
