“Elizabeth did a great job watching my three cats during a long weekend away. She was willing to learn how to administer medication for my one cat who needed it. She left everything very tidy and surprised me by taking the garbage to the curb. Thank you!”

About: I grew up with animals: goldfish, rabbits, birds, and dogs. I currently have a rambunctious Shiba Inu that loves to keep me on my toes! I have also taken care of my friend's dogs from walking to dog/house sitting, volunteered at local animal shelters throughout my life. I am a resident physician at the Jacobs School of Medicine, and I would love to get to know you and your pet! I am a full-time resident physician. Currently, my schedule changes every 2 weeks but in general, I get at least 1 full day off a week. I am generally free after 5pm on most weekdays. On the weekends I am generally free after 1pm. I’m happy to work with your schedule and find a time that works best! Safety trust, and communication are the biggest things for me. I don't offer boarding services as of now, so all walks and drop-ins will take place in your residence or around your neighborhood.

“This was our first time using Rover, previously we have only left our animals in the care of immediate family. Ray was outstanding! The pictures that were sent each visit, documented the time we missed with Sofie. I couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention Sofie received from Ray.”

“Would I book Haley again? I already have! Haley is fantastic, she went above and beyond my expectations! Haley took AMAZING care of our three senior dogs, who have special needs. One of my dogs needs to have his bladder expressed due to a spinal injury, Haley went out of her way to learn how to express his bladder and ensure his comfort. Haley gave the dogs ample outdoor time, shared photos and detailed report cards throughout the day which gave us peace of mind. You can tell when your dogs had their basic needs met vs. when they also had enrichment (play time, cuddles, etc.), my dogs clearly had enrichment with Haley taking care of them. The dogs were happy and content when we returned home, they hardly missed us! Cannot recommend Haley highly enough.”

“Emma helped us out last minute by watching our dogs. Our dogs are unique and have special restrictions, so I was initially concerned about entrusting a stranger to care for them! However, Emma did a wonderful job and the weekend went off without issue. She was attentive and quick to respond via text as well!”

About: Hi! I’m Emma, and I absolutely love animals! 🐾 I’m a proud pet mom to a husky mix, a cat, and a bearded dragon, and I truly believe pets are part of the family. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, reptiles, and hamsters. I also worked at a doggy daycare in college and have experience with dog walks and drop-in visits. I love taking long walks, teaching dogs new tricks, and, of course, giving lots of cuddles! Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime, a little extra attention, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your pets like I treat my own—with lots of patience, attention, and love! ❤️ My schedule is very flexible, especially during the summer! I’m freely available for most of August, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Once the school year begins, I’m available for pet care before work on weekdays until 7 AM and after work starting around 4 PM. I’m also available throughout weekends, school holidays, and breaks. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and do my best to accommodate your schedule! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs and will follow your care instructions carefully. I’m attentive to details and will always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are secure. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels, and I’ll never force interaction if your pet needs space or time to warm up. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want from someone caring for my own animals. ❤️🐾

About: I have always had pets (i.e., cats, dogs) growing up, training them on my own, helping out close friends and family members, and have always enjoyed my time spent with the furry animals. I have been around all types, ages, and breeds, making my experience vast! I currently have the ability to work from home full time during the week or go into the office, but I gravitate towards working from home most of the time. I have a good amount of flexibility which allows me to conduct drop ins for walks during the day or overnight stays. I have always felt a strong connection to animals/pets and so it comes as second nature understanding what the pet needs at the time. I can follow instructions if there are any specifics to adhere to but will also tend to your pet as if it was my own and care for it like my own.

About: I have done seasonal dog walking jobs for older clients as well as drop-in visits for several of my friends and family’s cats or dogs. I am also proficient in caring for senior cats as I have rescued two from the street. My kitties are quite independent and have an auto kibble feeder and they are fed wet dinner in the evenings to support urinary health. I am always hanging out with them when in my home as it is theirs as well. I am always checking on my pets and giving them affection. I am attentive and quick to respond which makes me very observant and detail oriented. Your pet is always safe under my watch and your instructions will be followed closely. In my own home, clients’ pets have their own room.

About: I provide reliable, compassionate care for both cats and dogs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. My responsibilities include feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications when needed, and giving pets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection.I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions closely to help pets stay comfortable and reduce stress. I am dependable, patient, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own while giving owners peace of mind that their companions are in caring hands. I work full time Monday through Friday from 7am to 3pm, but I’m available for pet care before work, after 3:30pm on weekdays, and any time throughout the weekends. I can provide evening walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, and weekend boarding. I’ll always communicate with you, follow your pet’s routine, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and quality care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large fenced yard for dogs to enjoy, and the driveway entrance is securely blocked off whenever pets are outside. Cats are kept safely indoors in a calm environment. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs, and I always introduce pets carefully while supervising all interactions. I can keep pets separated if needed, follow your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates with photos so you know they’re happy and well cared for.

This is our second time using Amanda for our cats and she is just lovely. We have anti social cats I don't think she's ever even seen, though she did send me a picture of some eyeballs peeking at her from the stairs! Even though she doesn't get to see and pet the boys, she still comes over twice a day and makes them their Friskies soup and even leaves them little Temptations piles. Amanda is very sweet in person and we absolutely will be booking her again whenever we go away.

Ciara is everything you could ask for in a pet sitter and so much more!!! It’s a lot easier to find reliable dog lovers than cat on Rover, so I was extremely lucky to find Ciara! I have never felt so confident and secure about leaving my cats in the care of another person, I was finally able to enjoy my vacation without constantly worrying. It is an amazing feeling and I couldn’t have ever expected it. I am forever thankful for Ciara’s kindness and cat hearted spirit. She made even my anxious baby fearless and cuddly. I will absolutely be requesting for her services again!!

Elisabeth was a great sitter. We booked her for our two cats and also for some indoor and outdoor plant watering. She was timely, responsive, and took care of pets and home. We had a fluorescent light randomly break (or maybe not randomly considering cats lol) in the basement and she let us know immediately and also took the extra step to clean it up. Would recommend!

Brianna is fantastic and genuinely the best person I’ve ever found on rover!! She was so attentive and trustworthy when we left our cats for 3 weeks in a new city. Brianna is kind, gentle, responsible, and caring; you can tell she loves animals and has experience with taking care of cats, especially playing with them, taking out the litter, etc. She cleaned up their messes (shredded toilet paper, litter) and took out the trash regularly. We came home to happy cats and a clean house (without litter/cat food smells) which isn’t always the case with cat sitters. I could not recommend Brianna enough!!
