“Kathryn went above and beyond caring for our senior dog Jackson! We were a bit nervous about using a dog sitter we didn’t know, but Kathryn put us at ease with her kindness and expertise. We’re so grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.”
“It’s hard for me to trust people with my dog as he has a long list of requirements as an elderly Great Dane and James is absolutely phenomenal with him. He goes above and beyond to take care of Max like I do which is a high bar-I would recommend him to anyone in need of a sitter for any kind of situation. He’s a true professional which is hard to find in this business!”
“We absolutely LOVE Melissa. We are so happy with the care and love she shows our dogs and cat. She sends us video clips and pics of them relaxing, playing... and often captions them with "miss you, mom!" We don't worry about them at all when she's here or when she's doing a drop in visit for us on a long day. They all like her too!”
“Nia was by far the sweetest sitter I’ve had yet! She was very attentive to my baby and even sent tons of videos and pictures as requested. She took her for walks and ensured she had fresh food and water each day. I would not hesitate to use Nia again for my baby!”
“Emma was WONDERFUL! I was very nervous about using Rover while we were away and Emma put us right at ease. She updated us every time she visited and our dog loved her. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Lidia was absolutely amazing with my dog Tango! Super sweet, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. She made sure he got all his potty breaks and was very flexible and accommodating when I had to add an extra drop-in. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 16 years, when I got a puppy for my kids. A few years later we adopted another dog as a companion. Our dogs are part of our family. I have experience from puppy through senior pup, which includes giving medications. I’ve also worked as a Veterinary Technician and volunteered as a dog walker at a shelter. Both were rewarding experiences which provided me additional practice with sick pet care and leash walking. I recently retired and am available most days and evenings to provide attentive care. I’m also available to make home visits, and can walk your pet in your neighborhood or take them to a local dog park or other type of recreation area. We have a gated deck and mostly fenced-in yard where we can play ball, and I can also take your pup for walks in the neighborhood. We also have lots of toys, beds, and learning games.
“Grateful to Tabitha for taking care of Luna and Oliver while we were out of town! Luna was happy for the company and both cats were well taken care of during the visit.”
“Super communicative, especially when my puppy isn’t feeling well. Very flexible and understanding with schedule changes and was available at the last minute.”
“Kaitlin did a phenomenal job with our furry ones. Great communication, did everything the way asked and even did little things to make sure we knew everything was being taken care of. From the check in photos to seeing how our doggos were treating her we knew she was taking wonderful care of them. 100% recommended and will definitely come back to her the next time we might need anything.”
“Emily was great and took excellent care of my two cats while I was away! They were very communicative throughout the entire time and they followed all of my instructions exactly as requested. I really appreciated their reliability and attention to detail. I would definitely trust them again in the future.”
“Chelsea was great! She quickly responded to my last minute request. It was easy to coordinate with her. Her communication was clear and effective. I definitely recommend Chelsea for your pet needs.”
“Ryan did an excellent job taking care of my cat Casey. I was very happy to receive pictures of Casey where Ryan was interacting with him. This meant that Casey liked him and felt safe around him, which is very important to me. I hope to book Ryan again for Casey's care.”
“Although I ended up having to cancel my trip so Ashley/Olivia didn’t end up doing the drop in visits, Olivia was great at the drop-in visit I scheduled before our trip! My chinchillas took to her immediately. Gus, our fiestiest boy, happily accepted cheek scritches from her and another one of my chins even let her pick him up :) That says a lot about how she interacts with animals because as prey animals, trust doesn’t come easily to chinchillas. She also asked a lot of important questions about their care which I appreciated. She was super responsive and flexible about when I came to pick up my key from her. I would feel at ease with her taking care of my pets the next time I need care for them!”
“Completely enjoyed having Maria drop in and help my senior cats Ginger and Stella. House was neat and both cats were calm and satisfied when I got back. Maria also gave some detailed reviews with each visit which was very reassuring. We’ll be happy to have her back next trip!”
“Katherine did a wonderful job! We used her last winter, as well. Our cat loves her and she sends lots of pictures every time she stops in. We will use her again and we highly recommend her!”
“Lanese was extremely sweet and patient with our very shy elderly kitty. We got great daily updates with a photo. Although our kitty is shy and often difficult to locate, Lanese was sure to make a connection and help her feel loved while pet sitting. I would definitely recommend this compassionate pet sitter!”
About: I have gained so much experience with animals over the years that I have been jokingly nicknamed “the animal whisperer” and Snow White. I have had dogs and a cat my whole life, as well as watching friends, coworkers, family members and networks pets. I also have experience in animal husbandry & care from my last research position. I accept all furry friends and have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, and rodents! I currently work full time, approximately 6am-5pm (including my commute), so I am available any day after 5 for a dinner time walk or an overnight stay if pups or cats are okay being left alone for a bit. Please keep this in mind, especially regarding seniors or puppies. If your babies are used to that then I am totally fine with it. On weekends, however, I am available any time! I am able to follow any instructions given from the client and do have experience giving medication as well. I am attentive, will provide updates, always looking out for their well-being, and loving. I will provide the most comfortable & approachable aura that I can to make all fur-babies feel safe 💕
Ferndale cat parents share their Rover experiences
Absolutely wonderful! She was informative and patient with this anxious cat mom. Recognized the signs when my cat with urinary issues was in pain, let me know of the behaviors, and gave meds per instructions. Even got my sure skittish older cat to stop hiding and even got her to accept pets. Totally impressed! She really cares about the fur babies! THANK YOU Aimee!
Michelle took great care of my cats while I was away. She spent a full hour with them every day, and sometimes even longer, making sure they had fresh food, plenty of water, clean litter, and engagement. I especially appreciated how consistent and dependable she was with the daily care routine. One of my cats can be a little particular and attached to his usual way of playing, but Michelle made sure he was safe, cared for, and checked on. She also seemed to really bond with Emi, which meant a lot to me. It gave me peace of mind knowing they had someone patient and attentive coming by each day. I’d happily recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.
Rachel did an awesome job taking care of my two cats over a 16 day period. Her communication was great, and she took great pictures of my cats eating a playing. She also took care of the mail and trash. I would definitely rebook Rachel as a sitter, and strongly recommend her as a sitter!
Stephanie was absolutely wonderful to work with—professional, kind, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire experience. She went above and beyond by accommodating a last-minute request and fitting in two drop-in visits, which I truly appreciated. Despite not having the opportunity to meet us or our pets beforehand since we were out of town, she was more than willing to step in and help without hesitation. That level of trust and flexibility meant so much to us. It was clear our pets were in excellent hands. Stephanie kept us updated with thoughtful photos of them in the yard, playing, eating, and staying hydrated, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!
Mel was amazing, and clearly loves animals! She is very professional, friendly, and flexible. We have two VERY anxious cats, with different needs and behaviors. Mel was able to interact with both cats on their terms, and was flexible about meeting their unique feeding habits. We will definitely be working with her again in the future.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sabrina. As soon as we met, I knew she would be a wonderful cat sitter. She took care of my babies like they were her own, and they warmed up to her right away. She is extremely professional, but very sweet and personable also. I recommend her highly and of course I will have her watch my cats whenever I have to go out of town. The peace of mind I feel with her is awesome. Thank you, Sabrina.
