“Isabella is an amazing cat sitter and we’re so glad we found her on Rover! She’s incredibly attentive to our cats’ routines and needs, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. Her communication is top-notch—she sent us daily updates and photos, which really helped us relax knowing our pets were happy and well cared for. She’s also super flexible and easy to coordinate with, which made the whole process stress-free. We’ll definitely be booking with Isabella again—highly recommend!”
“Clarissa is absolutely amazing! We found Clarissa in an emergency situation, as our usual boarder was unable to take her. When she came over for the initial meet and greet, we knew we had made the best choice for our girl. She absolutely loved all the love and attention Clarissa gave her. Clarissa also sent the cutest pictures. We will definitely use her again, I think our girl was actually happier being at home instead of the kennel.”
“Astrid did a great job taking care of my two dogs while I was away for the weekend! She showed up on time for every visit and sent plenty of pictures and updates. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Jessica was amazing with our dogs for drop in care while we were at Disney. I was not expecting her to send pictures and videos of the dogs so that was so nice to get live updates. She was very accommodating, and so professional. If you’re looking for a dog sitter and need someone on base then look no further. We will be booking her again this summer and we will have zero worries about our fur babies because we know they will be well taken care of.”
“Alexa was absolutely amazing! Our pups loved her, she kept us updated the entire time and even sent pictures 🥰. We could not have asked for a better sitter for our babies and we are extremely picky.”
“Ana was a great help checking in on my cat, Rose, while I was away for the weekend! She did everything I asked her to do and gave great updates. Rose seemed to take to her right away and didn’t hide at all like I had expected!”
“Rebecca says she’s learning cat I think she already learned it very well Sam is a kind of shy cat and he has no problem spending time with her recommend her with either a dog or a cat”
About: I grew up in a dog-friendly household and 5 years ago I adopted a dog on my own. For the past couple of years my friends have entrusted me with watching their dogs. I am a personal trainer that trains mainly in the early mornings and late evenings. I have a huge chunk of free time during the day. I stick to a solid daily routine that will ensure a walking time, feeding time, and eating time. I also can give daily updates on how the pet is doing (can include photos).
“We had an exceptional experience with Holly as our caregiver through Rover. From the outset, Holly was excellent in her communication, keeping us updated and sending us delightful pictures of our pups throughout her time with them. It was evident from the joyful expressions of our dogs that they were very happy and well cared for. Holly's attentiveness and professionalism gave us tremendous peace of mind, knowing that our fur babies were in good hands while we were away. We are definitely planning to hire her again and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Holly, for your wonderful service!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10, I always treat the dogs I sit like my own, I love caring for dogs and will have their best interest at heart I am at home for most of the time unless I am at my morning college classes on Mondays and Wednesdays for an hour each day so I have time to walk and feed your dogs for their needed times I used to own a dog before she passed away so I know how to handle dogs, I also have a fenced backyard so they can have their own space when they want it without running away
“We were out of town for two weeks and Kasey watched our two cats. She sent a ton of pictures and played with them every day, making us feel so much better about leaving them. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Melanie dropped by our home to check on our two kittens. She always sent updates and pictures. She communicated very well and was super trustworthy! We’ll definitely have her watch our cats again 😊”
About: I grew up in a household with at least 3 dogs at a time and they all held special places in my heart. I highly value treating animals as one of our own, so your babies will be safe and well cared for with me 😊 I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which usually involves working nights. We can very easily figure out a schedule that works for everyone! I highly value kindness, patience, and compassion. My pets are very well taken care of and I will take care of yours as if they were mine! While we’re able to explore the world, we are the world for our pets! This means lots of playtime, cuddles, little treats, and clean litter boxes.
“Will definitely be booking Brian again! He was so great taking care of my dog and giving her love while I’m out of town! And even accommodated to my crazy schedule!! Couldn’t have been an easier process! Thanks so much!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was 9 years old. My first dog was called Dogy (I’m from Brazil, so that name made sense lol). Since then I’ve cared for my fur babies , mostly dogs, with great dedication and love. I also have cared for family members and friends’ pets, which I really enjoy doing. If I could, I would have a bunch of dogs but currently I can’t, which is why I’m so happy to have found this opportunity to give a lot of love to other families’ babies and give them back happy and content and ready to come back anytime! I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m home every day. I’ll be able to take them outside to the bathroom as much as they need. I have two daughters, they’re 12 and 9, who absolutely adore dogs and cats. They’ll be more than willing to love on your fur baby, and give them belly rubs and treats (if they’re allowed to). I have experience taking care of dogs with health issues and those who need medication or are elderly. I’ll take care of your fur baby like he/she is my own! Can't wait to hear from you! Hablo Español! Falo Português! I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m home every day. I can watch your fur baby during the week, except Tuesdays mornings and Thursdays evenings. I can also do it during the weekends. I have a big yard and although is not fenced, I can take your pet outside on a leash for them to use the bathroom. Other than that , your baby will stay with us inside at all times, in the air-conditioning house, because is hot outside. We don't have a dog, but my kids have a cat, who can stay at their rooms while I care for your fur baby. Julieta, the cat, is indifferent towards dogs, and humans too lol, so she won’t bother anyone.
“Taelor is incredibly kind and professional. Our Fiona took a liking to her immediately. Taelor left us feeling very comfortable for our first time leaving our cat for an extended period of time.”
“Sharon took care of my three cats like they were her own. She went to great lengths to spend time with them at her visits and followed my directions explicitly. She administered insulin to my diabetic cat twice daily and made sure he was perfectly cared for. There is no price you can put on the security of knowing your babies are safe and cared for”
“We decided to take a last minute trip out of town for Thanksgiving, and were so lucky to come across Sadie. Sadie, and her son, were so sweet to our girl and treated her like a little princess. Sadie also has a little guy who became best buds with our girl quickly. It felt great knowing we didn’t have to worry about Trix while she was with Sadie. I would highly recommend Sadie, especially if you’re looking for a sweet, caring Rover, and enjoy having peace of mind. :)”
