“Norma is wonderful! She is a dependable and trustworthy pet sitter. Norma can be relied upon to take excellent care of your pets by treating them as if they were her own. Even our shyest cat trusted her and came out to get some cuddles and play. She communicated with us throughout our trip keeping us updated with comments and pictures. We would highly recommend Norma as your next pet sitter if you want the confidence of leaving your fur babies in caring and loving hands!”
“Gwen did an awesome job watching our cat, Sulley! They really bonded while we were away — she talked to him, gave him lots of attention, and took great care of all his needs. It was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being, and that made it so much easier to be away. I could tell Sulley was comfortable and happy with her. Highly recommend Gwen if you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and great with animals!”
“Brittany did awesome watching all of our animals. She made sure to give us a report on each animal, and she asked a lot of questions to ensure they were well taken care of. Our chinchilla got out and she was able to find it and make sure to keep in communication with us on what was going on. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Hope was my first Rover booking and I was a little nervous. She helped allay my fears and worked to make. My cats fell at ease. They were well taken care of and miss seeing her already.”
“Sam did an excellent job of taking care of Mya and Harley, even though they probably hid from her the entire time, LOL. We were very confident that she would handle their care and came home to healthy cats. We will use Sam again in August when we leave for a longer trip.”
“Lee is friendly and responsive. He did drop-in visits with our cat and they went well. He also provided us photos when he was with her. I would definitely use Lee again. Thank you Lee!”
“I read reviews for Haley before we booked our visit and they all seemed to be sparkling, as were her Visits with our two cats. She represents your company very well and is well-spoken, professional and w we’ll be very happy to ask for Haley in the future. 👍💕”
“Ashley did a great job with our cat! She followed my (albeit annoying) instructions so well and I felt very confident in our cat’s safety & health while we were gone. 10/10 recommend!”
About: New to Rover, not new to pet sitting! I have been pet sitting since the early 2000s, starting by taking care of my neighbors, friends, and families pets as a first job. Now, it’s something that brings me great joy outside of my day job. I work remote, so I’m fully available to check in & help with your fur babies 7 days a week at any time. During my spare time, I volunteer at a cat sanctuary that specializes in re-socializing abused cats. This has given me experience in proper medication administration, baths, and behavioral rehabilitation. I’m a pet owner myself & know how stressful it can be to leave your fur babies at home with a stranger. Let me help so you can stress less! I work full-time, permanently remote with a flexible job & hours. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings whether it be for spontaneous trips or weekly scheduled visits. Pet care not only fits into my day to day life & job, but it’s what brings me joy! Safety & trust are my top priorities myself. Having two pets of my own at home, I understand the stress of having someone new visit your animals. Let’s chat about your expectations & needs per pet before visits begin. I promise to follow your rules to a T to ensure all steps are followed & everyone is safe.
“Aimee took wonderful care of our dog! Our dog is getting older and she was patient and caring. Aimee provided quality care that reassured me that he was fed and loved. Thank you Aimee!!!”
“Debbie was great! She went above and beyond in caring for our cats. She did everything we asked and more. I really appreciate that she cleaned the used bowls even though this was not expected. When we met before the visits, she asked great questions to really understand what we and our pets needed. I will definitely schedule Debbie again in the future.”
About: For my entire life, I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of various breeds, big and small. I’m experienced in grooming, cleanup and handling challenging dogs. As a college student on break, my schedule is very open! I’m available essentially every day for the majority of hours needed by the owner. I always keep a watchful eye on the pup and can give any special care if needed. During walks, I always make sure to let your dog explore and have fun.

“Our dog LOVES Abby. She is such a sweetheart with her. She last stayed at our place with our pup Daisy while we were away on Mexico. We didn't worry about Daisy once, and I came home and don't think Diasy even cared that we were ever gone. Abby shared the sweetest pictures too. Thank you, Abby. We recommend Abby to anyone and will definitely use her as soon as we can again.”
