“Elizabeth was prompt with her visits and reports. She made me feel secure about being away from Tula. Everything was in order when we returned. I would trust her to check on her again if needed.”

“I appreciate all the communication and pictures from Caitlin. My pets just love her too. I felt so relaxed away from home knowing both my dog and cat were in good hands.”

“Alaina is my go to girl for taking care of my fur baby. She’s efficient, kind, and always provides detailed care notes. Thank you again for a seamless care experience!”

“Eliza was great, it was comforting to know she was caring for our cats while away. She followed all instructions and communicated effectively. Highly recommend!”

“Ashley has cared for my sweet Maggie several times in the last 2 months and she is so patient and sweet with my rambunctious pup! She interacts well and gives my puppy good mental activities! Ashley is always timely and gives the sweetest little summaries of her visit and lots of pictures!”

“Danielle watched our dog Finley while we were away on spring break. We both felt immediately comfortable with her on our first visit. He was very well cared for. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”

“Lynda took fantastic care of my two kitties while I was away! I have a more difficult cat with a heart condition that requires extra care and oral medication, and Lynda was able to care for her with no problems. This was my first time away from my cats since I discovered my cat’s heart problem and Lynda really put me at ease with her excellent care and communication. I will 100% be booking with Lynda again!”

“was very good and very communicative with me about Chloe. Will definitely rebook, she always sends pictures and expresses her concerns about Chloe if she noticed an unusual behavior. Thank you Kelly!”

“This is the second time Jamie has dropped in on our cat--we will definitely book her again in future. She is super responsive and cares so well for our attention-hungry kitty. She clearly loves cats and takes her responsibility of care very seriously. Knowing Jamie is sitting with my cat means one less thing I can stress about when I'm traveling.”

“Mindy is always great with Scout! I appreciate how communicative she is when she enters the home. She sends lots of pictures of Scout playing, being a goofball, and overall enjoying her company! I tell Scout “Aunty Mindy” is coming over and he quickly runs to the door to look for her.”

About: After a tragically pet-free childhood, I've spent the last 20 years seeking out any opportunity to care for animals—from free dog walking for friends and cat-sitting for vacationing pals to hiking with hounds and being a designated vet chauffeur. I love exploring the outdoors with a dog, chucking sticks across empty fields, and praising them for every "good stretch"! I do everything I can to make pet parents feel comfortable and assured when they leave their furry friends in my care—including plenty of photos and updates! I work from home as a writer/editor and a live-edge woodworker, so my schedule is entirely flexible and under my control. I have a fenced-in backyard with ample shade where I often write and work, so outside time is always available for the animals I care for. I love walking the city and wandering through green spaces, especially Audubon Park and City Park, and having a puppy pal to accompany me makes it even more enjoyable. My interior home space is approximately 1,800 square feet, with multiple couches and rooms and sunspots for dogs and/or cats to relax and lounge. The fenced-in backyard is well-secured with a 6-foot fence for stress-free bathroom breaks, and my active lifestyle takes me on at least 2 longer walks each day, typically in the morning and evening. At a client's home, I pride myself on being highly adaptable to new routines and expectations, and my career as an editor makes me very attentive to details, e.g., medication needs, feeding times, sleep schedules, walk durations, etc. Whether you need someone to pop in and play with your pooch for an hour, or leave your animal at my home for a longer trip, you can rest assured they will be cared for, loved and pampered in a safe and comfortable environment.
“Stacy and Patrick came over twice to take care of our pup, Maka, while we were gone for a night. When we met them before booking, they were very receptive to everything we went over with them from quirks with our house to quirks with our dog! Maka also liked them both right away which is what we cared about most because it is very rare that we use dog sitter services and she can be a bit hesitant with strangers. Everything went very smoothly and I'll definitely reach out to them again if we need a sitter!”

“Lindsay was AMAZING!! Can’t say it loudly enough. Super reliable, communicative, and caring. She set the new standard for care for my cat. I’ll definitely work with her again if she’s available!”

“Took care of our babies while we were out of town, played with them and gave such peace of mind that they were okay so we could enjoy our travels.”

“Abby is amazing! She was quick to communicate, great about a little meet and greet before watching my pups. The boys love her and she followed all my instructions perfectly.”

Florida pet parents share their Rover experiences
Our older dog warmed up to Caitlin right away. We really appreciate having Caitlin watch our dog over FQ fest and Jazz Fest and look forward to having her watching her again. Caitlin kept us up to date with check-ins/photos. We couldn't be more pleased. I'd give a 10 star if they were available!
Gerome's natural ability to commune with animals was present during both drop off and pick up of my cat. I returned to find my selective/discerning sweet pea snuggled up with her pet sitter in a relaxed and trusting pose. She did not want to come back with me! I will choose Gerome in the future to care for my love. Gerome was highly communicative during my time away from my cat. She sent me many photo updates, which allowed me to feel at ease during our separation.
Nikki was wonderful! She was professional, on time for all drop ins, great with using the Rover card and adding pictures of my dog. Nikki even noticed that my senior dog was having some anxiety due to fireworks and gave him his anxiety meds and replaced his potty pads. Highly recommend- will reach out to her again for pet sitting!
