“Great cat sitter! Tara left detailed notes each time and went above and beyond to buy more supplies when needed. She was also very polite respectful of boundaries for both my home and my cats.”
“Absolutely stellar!! Great communication, took great care of my two cats. I was nervous about using a sitter, but Stephanie put me at ease and was very loving to the boys. I will be using her again.”
“Thank you Annie for providing such loving and attentive care to our senior cat. Just the fact he comes up to you and lets you pet him shows us how much he trusts you. Thank you so much!!”
“Emily was wonderful! She took great care of our two cats while we were out of the country. One of our cats is very social, while the other is extremely shy, and Emily was great about respecting their different personalities and needs. She was reliable, attentive, and made us feel comfortable knowing our cats were in good hands while we were away. We really appreciated her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We would happily book her again!”
About: I’ve been on Wag for a while and loved it so I wanted to expand my business to Rover! I’m looking forward to becoming a regular caretaker for your furry friend. I’ve done drop-ins for friends, families and clients on vacations. I make sure they get some loving and pets during each drop-in. I also have been volunteering at cat and animal shelters since high school. I love dogs and I like to run with dogs as well. I’m experienced with dogs that pull. A little about me. I’m a Master’s student studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling and I currently work with children with Autism. Other than that, I love being active and enjoying nature. I am patient and understanding of any specific request you would want! I adore animals so I assure the best quality of care possible! I currently work part-time so I’m always looking for walks on my off-time. I’m available for sittings/boardings everyday unless I’m on vacation! I have a clean studio. I have a balcony, large windows and a big windowsill for your cat to sunbathe in. I have space for all of your cats’ needs!
“Camille was very friendly, easy to communicate with, and caring about my two cats. She even watered my plants while I was away. I'd happily recommend Camille and book her again!”
About: Animals have always been one of my greatest passions and being able to work with them is a dream come true. I personally have owned and taken care of dogs, tropical and freshwater fish, small pets, and cats. I’ve also spent time volunteering at animal shelters and have experience in house-sitting and pet-sitting locally. I’m currently enrolled in evening cosmetology classes 5-10pm Mon-Thurs and work Saturday mornings 8-3. Otherwise I’m mostly a homebody who enjoys spending time with my pets and outside. I have a couple of my own pets so I’d rather not keep other pets at my place for extended periods of time (unless they’re fully up to date on vaccines, shots, and behavioral training), but I’m happy to assist in anyway I can at your house. I can do basic cleaning and of course pet care such as walking, watering, feeding, taking outside, playing, etc.. I can lock the house and leave the key in a predetermined location if needed. I’m happy to follow any house rules, special instructions, and anything extra needed for the pets, including medications or continuing ongoing training.
About: I currently live with three cats and they are the loves of my life. Our most recent addition is a 14 year old orange guy with hypertension. I've had cats of my own for the past 14 years - I know how to take care of them and enjoy it. I currently cat sit for my many cat having family members and friends. I was laid off from my corporate marketing job and am trying to make some extra money. I was a project manager so I am very organized, on time and dependable. I am currently laid off so I have plenty of time throughout the day to check in on your cats - day or night, weekdays or weekends. I am comfortable coming to your home to provide care for your cats. I understand cat anxiety and how to interact with cats of all kinds.
About: I have 1 cat at home and my partner has 1 dog who basically acts like a cat, so I am looking for an excuse to be around dogs (preferably <25 lbs) who may need some company. Friends and family have entrusted me with their pets for years (both for walks and overnight stays) and I take that responsibility incredibly seriously. I have a full-time hybrid position that has me at home on Mondays and Fridays with some flexibility from Tuesday - Thursday. On days when I am in the office, I will be home before 4:30pm for any afternoon feeding times. I am also available on weekends with advanced notice. I have a large unfenced yard and live less than a block away from a dedicated dog park. I have one small dog (15 lbs) and one cat who are happy to keep your pet company or can be kept in a different part of the house depending on your needs.
About: I’ve taken very good care of my cat for the last few years. I love the little guy, it has inspired me to want to take care of other cats. I work full time, so I can only make appointments for the evenings. I work a 9-5 Monday thru Friday. I am available on weekends too. For my home my cat has everything he needs, including lots of toys, scratching posts, scratching pads, cardboard boxes, and lots of really good catnip.
About: I grew up with two cats, fish, a guinea pig and a dog! I started taking care of animals officially when I was 14. My neighbors hired me to either walk their dogs, pet sit during trips, or just check in on them during the day. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats. Some of the neighbors that hired me had me coming back for years every day to either walk there dog, let there dogs out or feed their cat. I also have experience with overnight pet care. Currently looking for a part-time job in Burlington, so my hours are very flexible and I have open availability for all your pet care needs! I always make sure that I understand very clearly all the details for caring for someone’s pet. Every pet is unique and requires different things. I am 100% transparent and appreciate communication. I always make sure to double check everything and I value your pets safety and well being just as much as my own.
“Heather was super responsive and set me at ease with my first time utilizing Rover. She was very accommodating and I will absolutely utilize her again for drop ins when I am away in the future. Thank you again Heather. You were the highlight of Fig’s weekend as well!”
“Nathan was absolutely fantastic with our three kitties for their short stay at his house. He was extremely friendly, attentive, and has extensive experience caring for cats. Our cats had a dedicated room at his house with enough space to sleep, play, eat, drink, and a window to look outside. This was our first time having our cats boarded at someone’s house and I was a little nervous beforehand, but instantly felt at ease once meeting Nathan and seeing where the cats would be staying. He also provided plenty of pictures and updates throughout the stay. Overall, very happy with the care and attention our cats received. I would 100% board my cats with Nathan again and recommend him to friends and family!”
About: If you ask my family who the designated pet sitter is, they'll all point to me! I'm the go-to person they trust to care for their furry family members whenever they're traveling or away for extended periods. From energetic new puppies who need patience, structure, and lots of playtime to senior dogs who require extra attention, gentle care, and medication reminders, I've had the privilege of caring for pets through every stage of life. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether it's long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I provide. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, so I make it a priority to build trust with both you and your dog. I'll keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of love until you're home again. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I'm the go-to pet sitter for my family and am always happy to care for their dogs and cats whenever they travel or need an extra hand. I also spend time each week caring for my sister's dog, so walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets plenty of love are already built into my schedule. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, I have the flexibility and availability to provide reliable, attentive care. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I'll make sure they receive the time, attention, and affection they deserve while you're away. When caring for your pet in your home, my priority is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), potty breaks, and any special preferences or routines your pet is used to. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I'll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, companionship, and exercise based on their personality and energy level. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll provide the care and interaction that helps them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'll also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and tidy and ensuring your pet has a safe environment at all times. To give you peace of mind, I'll send regular updates with photos and messages so you can see how your furry family member is doing. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet who has been cared for as if they were my own.
“Abby is excellent—caring, diligent, professional, & responsible. Wonderful with both cats & dogs. She boarded my cat for six days, & I felt I was leaving him in expert hands. I’ll gladly use her again!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats so I have lots of experience. We currently have 2 dogs. Willow is 4 and Juniper is 3. Juniper is fill of energy and loves to play with others while Will is more laid back and likes to relax. We have a nice fenced in yard and our pups love to play out there. We can't wait to mee you and your dogs! I am home full time so I have plenty of time to spend playing with your pups. We have a fenced yard and can't wait to throw a ball or relax in the sun. We have a fenced in yard, 2 dogs ages 4 and 3. I will make sure to keep your pet safe and have a careful watchful eye.
About: Ever since I was 5 years old I have had a pet and have done a wonderful job at taking great care of them. Have always had such a soft spot for animals. I have two kids who are also obsessed with animals and always want to pet and play with them. My neighbor has me let her dog out on a weekly basis, when she’s too busy to do so. I am a very trustworthy person and will take the absolute best care of your animal. I’m currently a stay at home mom, looking to make a little extra income from home. Doing something I love, like caring for another sweet animal would be such a perfect job for me. I’m available anytime, weekdays and during the weekend. I have one friendly female dog and one female cat. They’ve always gotten along and have never been aggressive or mean towards other animals. Also have a fenced in yard. And a couple of crates just in case your pet needs to be crated.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ferndale
She’s just outstanding! I have dogs with various medical needs and she makes sure that medications are given in time, helps with ambulation, makes sure both dogs have done their business and gives lots of attention and affection while I’m away. And is also seeing to the needs of my three cats, too! She’s got a lot to take care of every time she comes over to my house and I know everything will be taken care of. I highly recommend her! 😀
My cats can be a little high maintenance, but Madeline did a good job caring for them. She reached out proactively with questions and concerns that popped up during her visits. I would have appreciated more substantial written summaries after each drop-in visit, but I’m also just anxious when I’m away from my kitties.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
