Catherine was great. She took such good care of our inside cat Abby and our outside cats as well. She was super responsive. It was good knowing she was caring for our animals while we were away - gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Catherine.

I contacted Candice last minute for a drop-in visit. Not only did she agree to help me out, but she made time to stop by and meet my dogs ahead of time. And then accommodated my request for an earlier visit when my schedule changed. Candice is friendly and easy to work with, knowledgeable and caring. I look forward to using her again!

Lynette did a great job with my two cats! My petsitter had a last minute family emergency and I only had 2 days to find a replacement. I saw Lynette's profile on Rover and contacted her. She responded very quickly and we were able to arrange a meeting same day! I usually have people who have know them come check on them when I'm away, so I was a little nervous. Those nerves went away quickly when I got updates on my kitties! She took wonderful photos and was very detailed in her check-in reports. It was clear she read the instructions I left and provided them with much care and love while I was away. I would definitely trust her with my cats again! Thanks again, Lynnette!

Susan has been absolutely fantastic as a dog walker! She is reliable, punctual, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My dog immediately felt comfortable with her, which gave me great peace of mind. She always provides updates after walks and goes the extra mile to make sure my dog is happy and well cared for.

She took care of my Kitties last minute, and one of them I adopted a week ago and they weren't quite on hospitable terms yet. She allowed them to interact gently while being ready to separate in case of throwing paws. She also followed special feeding directions for my elderly cat who needs stuff mixed in and her pate in an extra soupy mash.

Sara went above and beyond taking care of things while we were gone(animals, mail, dehumidifier). I’m sure our animals are going to miss her special treats and attention now that we are home. We will absolutely be asking her to help with the animals in the future!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 7 and I know how to take action and keep pets safe and comfortable at all times. I cared for my first dog, a beagle, since she was a 5-month-old puppy until she passed at 10 from lymphoma. My current dog is 4 and I’ve had him since he was 12 weeks, and I learned to groom him since he hates the groomers. I have basic knowledge about dog care since I wanted to be a vet for a long time :) I just graduated and have the entire summer free, so I’m readily available for all sorts of services! I have my license and will be driving to customers homes. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I walk my dog 3x a day! As someone who’s been a dog mom for many years, I’m very well versed in dog behavior and their body language. I will make sure all dogs are comfortable around me by offering treats if allowed, space when needed, and patience above all. I used to walk a senior dog in my neighborhood who would snap when he was overwhelmed, so I understand how to handle all sorts of pets while keeping myself and the dog safe!

About: Growing up I was always dog sitting while my friends were babysitting. My neighbors keep requesting I come back to them because of my flexibility and commitment! I can get along with any type of dog due to my understanding of dog psychology and my addiction to dog training shows. I hope to one day gain experience in becoming a dog trainer so I can help families have a more balanced well rounded companion. I am always eager to help out on short notice. I’m also flexible and willing to do anything you ask me to do. I take pet and home safety extremely seriously, I strive to be someone you can trust in your home and with your dog. I can’t wait to meet new doggies and dog owners! I’m currently volunteering part time at the Holy Cross Hospital but I have plenty of extra free time to hang out with your doggies! I understand how important it is to feel comfortable having someone in your home while you’re away. I strive to ensure everything stays clean, safe, and secure for your family. I am willing to do additional house service such as overnight stays if your dog gets anxious at night, plant maintenance, or take care of any other critters you have around!

About: Working with animals is my love, and my passion. I am a certified Animal Reiki Practitioner, and use this to help me communicate with animals. I do my best to project a positive, healing energy. I have experience with animals who have severe anxiety, ptsd, and aggression, so I am willing to work through that. I am patient and gentle, and put a lot of effort into communication. Medications and feeding routines can be as complex as needed and I can keep track! Have over 13 years of experience working in veterinary care. I have senior dog as well as puppy experience. Feel free to contact me with any questions you have, and I will respond as soon as I can :) Right now I’m looking to return to my roots of individual pet care and building relationships with pets and their owners, as this brings me a lot of joy. I try to be very considerate about any space that I enter, and make sure to get details about how I should navigate the space

Dee Dee saved our vacation as she was able to watch our cat last-minute on a holiday weekend after our care fell through. She was responsive to my messages and provided excellent care to our cat, who was being left home alone for the first time. While he was slightly annoyed at us for leaving, he was well fed and emotionally and physically stimulated while we were away, as demonstrated by how put together and not destroyed our house was when we returned. We will definitely use Dee Dee again when we go out of town!

Lynette took care of 3 of my cats. One needed eye drops, one needed pills and the third just needed lovies. She did a good job at administrating the medicine! My cats were happy overall and were taken care of very well. Food, water, litter were cleaned at a timely manner. She provided written update each visit with lots of pictures too! Thank you!

We loved having Tim look after our cat for the week! He was so kind and patient with our very senior furball. On top of the time he took to give lots of love and playtime, Tim kept perfect track of meds and food. What’s more—was so nice in managing a few bouts of ‘tummy trouble’. We would totally book him again!

Anna did a drop-in visit for my 4 cats, including administering insulin to my diabetic cat. She was wonderful! Great communication! I had mentioned to her that I feed each cat in a different room, hoping, but from experience with other sitters, not expecting her to actually separate them. She did! I also really appreciate her putting the effort to go above and beyond what I asked. One example: During the meet and great, I fed my kitties, including adding water to their food. I mentioned to her that she didn't need to do that, but when she did the drop-in, she went ahead and did it anyways. :) I'm glad I hired her and highly recommend her!

Kenneth extended his visits to my sisters shy old cat Myshkin during a very difficult time when she was still in the hospital and having her house renovated at the same time. During all the chaos Kenneth also replaced and paid for cat food and medicine that had been discarded by the workers in error. Kenneth is an extraordinary pet sitter.

Isabella was wonderful with my kitties! This was my first time using Rover, and i was nervous because i usually have a family member care for my cats when i go out of town, but this year i sort of had a last minute cancelation with family and had no one else to turn to. I decided to check out Rover, and i found Isabella. We were not able to meet prior to me leaving town, but she assured me she would care for my cats while i was away. Isabella is very good! She came each morning and evening as we agreed and stayed in communication with me! My cats loved her...even one of my babies that i just new would hide, came out for her 😊 That right there shows me how good she is! Isabella is responsible and definitely an animal lover ❤️ I will definitely use her again and also refer anyone I know that is in need of a sitter, to Isabella!! THANK YOU SO MUCH ISABELLA!!
