“We were out of town for a longer period this time and Evan did a great job taking care of the cats. I got home to a clean litter box, happy and healthy cats! Highly recommend!”

“Ashley is always the best! I can relax while I’m away because she is dependable and takes good care of my cat. Plus her photos of him are always very cute!”

“Elizabeth was fantastic. Excellent communication and sent plenty of photos to show how cats were doing. My cats are super shy of strangers, but she was able to coax them out and give them some pampering. I would book her again for sure. Happy to give her our highest recommendation. Laura R”

“Jesica was great with our two cats during our trip! She is very responsible and responsive, and we can always count on her for nice kitty pictures and updates during our time away. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jesica again!”


“Brittani was a fantastic cat sitter! She was reliable, dependable, had a very positive and pleasant attitude, provided us with extensive updates and many photos right after each visit, and went above and beyond in general. Our cat got along very well with Brittani. She is clearly very competent and provided an excellent service. She was also very nice and likeable.”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and grew up with a Rottweiler, so I’m comfortable with larger breeds and have plenty of experience caring for them. Many of my friends have big dogs, and I often enjoy taking them out for walks. During the warmer months, I can even take your pup on a short run to burn off some extra energy! With prior military service, I bring a high level of responsibility, reliability, and dedication to ensuring your dog gets the best care and attention during our time together. I can be free in the evenings starting at 6 pm on weekdays, or Wednesday mornings before 10:30am. My weekends are free and I can easily fit in a walk while you’re out living your best life. I give all animals lots of love, attention, and patience! I communicate well, and would love to share updates on how your dog is enjoying their walk, with a quick pic or two to capture the moment.
About: I’ve been a dog lover and care taker since I was 10. Friends and family can always count on me to take care of their pets and make them feel like they’re a part of the family. I also have experience with reactive dogs and can stay calm in stressful situations and ensure that the dog is safe and can calm down. Im available all day on the weekends., if you need someone to take care of your pup while you take that weekend get away, I’m there! I’m big on schedules and routine. I’m a firm believer that if your dog has a set schedule that’s what they’re use to then why change it. I’d ensure that the dog would be taken out at their normal times. I can also crate your dog if needed, or let them roam if that’s what they’re use to. I’m all about the comfort and safety for your pet.
“Tara was an absolute lifesaver! She watched Rodgers when I had to take an unexpected trip, and she was flexible when I kept having to extend services due to a terrible snowstorm. Tara even noticed when the salt on the sidewalk irritated my pup’s paws and took the initiative to clean them after walks. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I have been dog-sitting and cat-sitting for my friends and co-workers for a long time and I can always help in difficult hours or last minute. At this moment I have a remote part-time job so I’m very flexible on schedule! Seven days a week from early morning to late evening. I live in a secured and safe apartment complex with a lot of green areas and generally a very safe neighborhood to walk around. I have a cat.
“Daria was fantastic! The care and attention she gave our cat was above and beyond. The daily updates were comprehensive and fun reading. Would highly recommend!”


About: Growing up I help take care of just about every indoor pet you can think of. Taking the time to make an animal feel safe is my specialty. My favorite way to spend time with pets is outdoor training and desensitizing 🙌 I work part time and am generally flexible for hours during the week. I am especially available for early morning and daytime visits M-F. Weekends I’m happy to do overnights and potty breaks every couple hours. Happy to be the disciplinarian or the fun playtime aunt! However your pet feels safe I will accommodate and take as much time as needed to provide for them in your home.

About: I have been taking care of my two dogs, Sophie and Chase, and my cat, Shadow, for most of my life. My parents are very busy with work, so originally my dogs would be stuck outside or in a cage all day. Obviously I felt this was negative for their livelihoods so I stepped up and trained them to the best of my ability. I found the toys they liked and the best ways for them to learn. Eventually, they were able to be calm and comfortable inside the house at all times. I care for my pets with great love, kindness, and consistency and I would do the same for your pets. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I can come multiple times throughout the day, working around when you need me. I will care for pets in my client’s home in the manner that my client states. I will ask specific questions indicating everything that their pet can use and play with, and areas that we can walk to for some outside time.
“Sun did drop-in visits for my cat while we were away for a long weekend. My doesn't like to be left alone for too long and I'm happy to report she was in good spirits when we returned. Sun sent pictures of my cat showing all she had been up to. I look forward to using her again!”

“Thank you! Words can’t begin to describe how much I appreciate you going above and beyond with Mimosa - from checking an extra time to making sure he couldn’t chew anything. I especially appreciate you being so flexible when our travel plans got delayed and you needed to keep the keys longer than planned. You are excellent and I can’t wait to book with you again because I know you’ll provide Mimosa with the best care.”

“Sydney, I can see how much more comfortable he became throughout the week. It’s sweet. I appreciate that you were available and that you spent the time with him that you did. I appreciate that you were consistent with your arrivals. That is so important. It’s been a sincere pleasure receiving your photos. We wish you a great year in school. Thank you!!!”

About: I’ve lived with pets my entire life and they are so dear to me. My family has had multiple cats at all times and a dog, and I’ve contributed to their care for years. I also have a cat of my own now, who I’ve had for 5 years. I am experienced in tending to cat litter boxes, food, water, and play time. I also have experience giving medication orally and topically for cats. I am a firm believer in letting cats come to you - if your kitty loves humans and attention, great! But if they are more shy, I’m happy to let them have their space. I am also experienced in walking dogs and providing food, water, and oral medications. I am a pretty active person, so if your dog needs longer walks I can easily accommodate them. I am a student working on my own schedule, so I am flexible with my availability. I consistently feed my cat and tend to her a couple times a day and love to have down time with her. When taking care of pets, I seek detailed instructions to ensure I provide the best care for the animal. As a cat mom I always want pictures, so I will keep you updated through photos and text. I am also happy to address any incidental messes in the house while I’m looking after your pet.
Friendship Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
I’ve been so fortunate to find William to help me with my other sitter while I’m away in Alaska on a traveling nursing contract. He has been incredibly detailed, dependable, trustworthy, and loving with my fur Baby. He takes the most amazing photos! Just incredible- I’m saving every single one of them, they’re just absolutely precious!! To be able to trust somebody in your home while you’re away for months at a time is just priceless, but most importantly, while away with a furry family member - has just brought me such immense peace and comfort. My little girl Violet absolutely loves William and took to him immediately! He’s been so patient and helpful as well, especially when there was a mistake on my end with medication dosing. He makes excellent suggestions about her care (he’s so observant) and is a superb communicator as well; so eloquent in his notes to me about his time with my girl! I look forward to them daily! :) Thank you so much William -God bless you for all your help, I’m so grateful that I found you! - Dani and Violet 💜🦄😻

Daria does an excellent job of meeting the needs of our cats wherever they are regardless of their age or special requirements. During the health decline of Louis, a big ginger boy, he would respond well to Daria even through meds delivery. Now, we count on Daria to deliver the care that our clever but elderly cat craves. We happily recommend Daria as your pet sitter/caregiver.

A well deserved 5star review! I had an emergency with my cats, when I called her to come help, she arrived incredibly fast. Not only did she handle the urgent issue perfectly, but what really impressed me was how proactive she was. She went above and beyond to take care of my cats. She is incredibly reliable and gave me such peace of mind. I will absolutely reach out to her again next time!

I can always depend on Abby. Her communication is clear and timely; she never leaves me guessing about how my cats are doing. She even noticed one of my cats might be overheating and I was able to ask her to turn up my apartment’s AC. I’m so appreciative of her help. Thanks Abby!

This is the 16th time I have booked Ashley to watch my cat Violet, and every single time she goes above and beyond. I am so sad to be moving outside of her sitter radius. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, patient, and fun pet sitter. She has been so amazing to my cat and I can always count on her. It has been so wonderful trusting her with my beloved fur child, I cannot say enough good things. Thank you Ashley!!!
