“Steven was very kind! I was in a bind, and he came right away late at night to meet my pets and was more than happy to help me out! My puppy warmed up to him very quickly, but my cat doesn’t take well to strangers (although, we did catch her purring while he was holding her). I can tell that he really cares for animals. I would definitely use him again in the future and I highly recommend his services!”
“Mariana did a wonderful job caring for our 4 kitties!! She followed all instructions (food, litter, etc) and we felt safe and happy knowing they were in her care.”
“This is the 2 time I’ve had Krystin watch my cat and I’m extremely grateful for her! Super attentive to his needs, very communicative, and adaptable. I highly recommend!”
“Kristin was very communicative with everything she needed and took really good care of my old cat Bella. She also gave her medications and made sure she was ok. We definitely recommend her!”
“Thank you, Randy, for being available to take care of Jenny on such short notice! She enjoyed meeting you. I felt at ease knowing that you would look after her. Until the next time! Juan.”
“Can't recommend Autumn enough! From the very start, she was attentive and sweet with our cats and prioritized their comfort and needs. She's responsive and clearly has a lot of experience cat-sitting, based on her communication and organization. I felt so at ease knowing she was taking care of our cats while we were away, and will absolutely hire her again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Nicollette took amazing care of our cat while we were away. She was able to accommodate a last minute booking which saved our trip, and we returned to a happy healthy cat. Thanks, Nicollette!!”
“Paige was wonderful! She communicated clearly with me both leading up to my vacation and during my vacation. She had just the right amount of pictures and stories about my fluff monsters.”
“Aiyana is an amazing human and sitter!! They checked in every day, were super attentive and responsive, and took amazing care of our kitty. Our kitty was diagnosed with a couple of minor health issues right before Aiyana was supposed to be staying with her, and Aiyana seamlessly adapted the vet's regimens into her care. We 10/10 recommend Aiyana for your house/cat sitting needs!!”
“Amanda is the best! She took such good care of Rue and made sure she had everything she needed. I will definitely book Amanda again! Rue misses her already.”
“Vincent looked after my three cats while I was out of town for the holiday weekend, and made sure they were well taken care of. We would be happy to work with him again!”
“Loved having Aja as our pet sitter! She is so nicely and communication with us was exceptional. She even went above and was willing to help us out and come back to our home after a visit when a friend accidentally locked our cat in a room. Can’t wait to use Aja again!”
About: Hi! We are a pet loving couple that have had pets all our lives. We currently have a terrier mix dog, and a white cat. Pet hotels can be costly and a stressful experience for our furry ones, so we strive to provide a healthier, nicer, happier alternative for you and your pets. Our goal is to make sure your pets get the space, attention, and care they deserve, so that they are excited to stay with us again! We've raised puppies, potty trained, leash trained, and taken care of adult dogs. We live in a spacious house and have a huge backyard, perfect for playing fetch, sniffing, bird watching, and doing zoomies! Matthes works from home and I work from home about half of the weeks days during the academic year and most of the week during the Summer. So, there will very often be someone at home available for company and frequent potty breaks. Matthes works full time from home, and I work primarily from home as well during the Summers and about half of the week during the academic year. Our dog Ruby gets two long walks per day, a shorter walk around lunch time, and plenty of zoomies in the backyard in between. She has supervised access to the backyard where she can keep an eye on her territory :) Ruby is great with other dogs and cats following proper introduction. Our cat Snow is great with dogs too. We have a house on a fenced in 1-acre lot. Our pets are fully vaccinated and given preventative treatments. Your pet would have access to roam the house, or they can have a private suite if they prefer a smaller, cozy place, or they can stay in their crate if that's what they like. We are flexible :)
About: Dogs have always brought Love to my life. Every dog I’ve owned is a rescue, old and young. They’ve taught me love, patience, and responsibility Im currently working Gig jobs only because i am planning to start a new career! So i have lots of opportunities to create new relationships with pet owners! I come from a hospitality background and have great work ethic and habits, i treat any place like my own home. And love any animal as if they were my own.
About: I’ve been a proud fur (and shell!) mom for over nine years, caring for my dog, cat, and turtle. Over the years, I’ve learned the importance of providing not just food and walks, but also patience, love, and attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic playtime, calm cuddles, or making sure a pet feels safe while their family is away, I treat every animal like my own. From daily care routines to special needs, I’m dedicated to keeping tails wagging, whiskers twitching, and shells happy. Pet care is already a natural part of my day-to-day life. As a long-time pet parent, my mornings and evenings include feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, and cuddles with my own pets. I’m used to structuring my schedule around animals’ needs, making sure they get attention, exercise, and comfort at consistent times. Weekly, I handle grooming, litter changes, enrichment activities, and any special care routines. Because caring for animals is something I do every day, welcoming your pets into my schedule feels like a seamless extension of my normal life — and a joy I truly look forward to. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home for my pets. They have free range throughout the house during the day, with plenty of room to explore and relax. My fenced-in front yard is perfect for supervised outdoor time, and my large backyard offers additional space for play. My dog is crate-trained but prefers his cozy space in our laundry room area in the basement, where I keep the crate open and the area gated for his comfort and safety at night. I make sure all pets have a clean, secure environment, regular exercise, and plenty of affection every day.
“Kristal was great with my two kitties. She did drop in visits while I was on a multi-day vacation. I got updates and pictures everyday and she even cleaned up kitty cat puke (from one of my babies who has a sensitive tummy). Would absolutely book again!”

Friendly cat parents share their Rover experiences
I can’t say enough great things about Miranda. We are so grateful to have found her and for all the care she gave our Tux over the past year. He’s a shy outdoor cat but he feels so safe and loved with Miranda. We are sadly moving but I wish we could duplicate Miranda!
