“Holland saved the day for us with a very last minute request to feed our babies. She did exactly what was asked and sent a pic too! I will definitely have her back!”
“Thank you so much - Lila did an amazing job with my reactive dog who was being particularly difficult! I sincerely appreciate the patience, kindness, great communication and detailed notes. Thank you!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life of all sizes. I grew up with a great pyranees/ border collie and have a dog of my own who is a dachshund. I dog sat for my neighbor, friends, and relatives frequently. I also have experience in sitting for cats as well. I can also help your dog learn new tricks! I taught my dog how to sit, stay, lay down, paw, roll over, follow, and wait all within 6 months. I am currently a part-time employee and have a dog of my own, so I have plenty of time and experience in pet care to give your furbaby the care they deserve! I’m flexible to what they need. Whatever needs you have for your furbaby I can meet! My dog is very particular, so I am patient, willing and understanding to what your pet needs.
“Erica was a huge help to us watching our dog and looking after our garden!! From all the photos my dog looked so happy and comfortable. Would definitely book again!”
“Kade was a wonderful sitter for our kitty! Great communicator, wonderful photos, and was a huge help in being flexible to add an extra day when we ran into a travel debacle.”
“Amazing communication and so sweet with my pup. She sent the cutest photos and I plan on continuing to use Maggie for all services!! 10/10 would recommend”
“As always, Jeffrey knocked it out of the park. We always feel so comfortable and confident heading out of town knowing that our babies (and house) will be perfectly cared for. He really goes the extra mile for the pups and with general tasks around the house and we really appreciate it. Communication of all events, big or small, is quick and clear. I’ll recommend him forever to anyone!!”
“Abby is awesome! She took great care of our “senior” orange tabby 😽 We got great updates and photos every visit and felt great knowing our boy was in such good hands. Thank you such Abby!”
“Alyssa has been an amazing pet sitter for our high-energy dog. She has been great with our unpredictable schedule and has been an awesome communicator. We are very grateful we could find her on Rover!”
“Danyelle is AMAZING!!! Took such great care of my boys over a holiday. Gave me daily updates and even put up with some of their eating "quirks", which isn't always easy. But she was super patient with them and gave them all the love they needed while I was gone. I was so super happy and relaxed to know they were in such great and caring hands. Heck, even just the trek to my trash can for litter box cleaning was an extra effort in and it's self. Can't recommend Danyelle enough!”
“Nick was great! He took great care of our cats, fish, and Guinea pig. It was wonderful receiving pics of our furry family and he even brought the mail in. I would 100% use his services again.”
“Rachel was great, would definitely recommend her to anyone. She was kind to bring in some pretty heavy packages while I was away. She also picked up an accident that one of my kitties made. She is a gem!”
About: Hi there! I’m Julia, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, and pets of all personalities and needs. I have experience housebreaking and training puppies in basic commands like sit, stay, and roll-over, as well as caring for senior dogs up to age 14. I understand the patience and care pets of all ages need and always make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I am a full-time college student taking several classes online so I am often home and your pet is never alone for too long. : ) Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always start by discussing expectations and routines. Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to fit their lifestyle. I focus on keeping pets both comfortable and active through walks or playtime.
“Catherine is amazing! Very responsive and attentive to detail and followed all the tedious instructions I had for my crazy dog. I am so happy I found Catherine and will definitely be using her again in the future.”
Gilpin pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kade always does a wonderful job of taking care of our cats. They’re relaxed when we return and our house is in good order! Kade also takes the best pictures and it’s so fun to see them while we’re away. Kade is caring, responsive, kind and a general pleasure!!
Jacob really puts in the work to make sure our animals are taken care of and to keep us informed on how they're doing while we're away. This was our second time booking his service and we'll very likely reach out to him again when we have more travel plans in the future. We highly recommend his service to anyone who wants to be sure their animals are being looked after by someone who truly cares about their well being.
Heather was great! She was communicative, responsive, and prompt when coordinating care instructions and when reaching out in response. She followed instructions and provided consistent and helpful updates. I loved getting updates and photos throughout the day. It helped give me peace of mind while being away for 12 hours. I absolutely recommend her, and look forward to a repeat booking in the future.
We asked Grace to check in on our crazy orange cat a few times while we were out of town pretty last-minute, and she exceeded all expectations! She sent lots of pictures and gave great summaries each time she visited. Our cat hates to be alone for too long, and it was such a relief to know that Grace was giving her some much-needed love and attention! We'd definitely use Grace's services again in the future.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Theresa. A friend recommended her to me, and she watched my cat over a long weekend. Right from the initial meet-and-greet, I knew she was the perfect fit, she immediately got down on the floor to meet my cat on her level, which meant so much. While we were gone, her attention to cleanliness and detail was great. She cleaned the water bowls and soft food dishes daily and handled the litter box exactly as instructed. I absolutely loved the tons of photo updates she sent, you could see how safe and comfortable my cat felt around her. On top of everything, she was incredibly accommodating with a last-minute request. I am so grateful for her care and will definitely be booking her again!
