“Olivia took great care of my cats while I was on vacation. She made sure they their litter box was clean and they had food and water. I really appreciated all the pictures Olivia sent me too. I will definitely book Olivia again!”
“It seemed scary having someone we don’t know come into our home to take care of our kitty, but Lisa put those worries to rest! She was very sweet and gentle with our little Dexter who is always wary of new people. He grew a liking to her almost immediately and animals usually know when someone is kind and trustworthy. Couldn’t be happier with the experience. We will definitely be asking her to look after him again. 😺”
“Nejra is the best!! She was amazing with my cat and he loved spending time with her! She even went out of her way to clean up messes he would create as cats do. Also cleaned the litter box for me as I was gone. She helped ease the anxiety of leaving my pet alone. Would recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter!”
“caroline is so sweet, came right on time and spent over 30 minutes hanging out with our kitties. she sent a detailed update and photos. we will absolutely use her again!”
“Arielle was great and very communicative. She fed and took care of my cats and fish for 4 days and I got pictures and a detailed report from every chain. Highly recommend.”
“We and Archy and Izzy love Sarah! Archy is very shy but Sarah is patient with him and he’s slowly accepting her completely. Iz just loves to have her stay here. Sarah goes above and beyond the basics and is a GREAT pet and house sitter!”
“Alisa was a wonderful sitter for our two cats while we were away for 10 days. She came by every day and made sure our cats were fed and cared for and even watered a couple of our plants for us. We had zero issues while we were gone and it gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands. Our cat Lucy is usually very shy and hides from strangers, but she actually stayed out for Alisa! We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter.”
“Thank you so much for looking after my cats this weekend! I’m traveling and Jen went to my RV to make sure my cats were safe and got some attention while I was working crazy longs days, during a hot weekend! She was a joy to communicate with, and took great care of my babies! I would definitely book Jen again, if I were local!”
“Ashley is incredible! She took care of my Kenny perfectly! She was quick to respond and also was good about sending pictures which helped ease my anxiety! Totally recommend her for any of your cat needs!”
“Jessica was great with our two kitties. She dropped in every day last week to administer medication and playtime. She went above and beyond cleaning up some hairball accidents and scooping the litter as well. We’ll be calling her again - highly recommended!”
“Lynsey has been great with our pups and even available for last minute bookings which I appreciate. She’s always taken great care of the dogs and sent us the pics of them enjoying her care. Thanks for what you do!”
About: I have experience with a wide variety of dogs, but especially with specials needs, senior, and small and large dogs. My old fur-baby, Jack, was special needs (born with scoliosis) and I did the majority of care for him. He lived to be 17 and a half. I work from home with a relatively flexible schedule. During the weekdays I am available for daycare, pop-ins, walks, and house-sitting. On the weekends I am available for boarding and overnights. I live in an apartment but am very active and can ensure plenty of outside time if desired. My complex also has a large fenced-in dog park area. I have one dog who is very friendly and can keep your dog company and play with. I am available to go to your place as well if prefered.
“Lydia has catsat for us twice now, and all I can say is that we would recommend her heartily. It’s so nice to be able to leave our cats in the care of such a competent, trustworthy sitter. Lydia makes the whole process worryfree!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for family and friends for much of my life but am new to Rover. I have owned my own dog for 5 years now and have learned a ton about having a dog that requires boundaries and maintenance for triggers of his reactivity. I’ve learned patience and am happy to do that for your furry friends as well! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays which gives me the flexibility to leave for drop-in visits throughout the day and after work! Tuesday-Thursdays can also be arranged if your home is near my office - contact me for details! While I’m unable to care for others’ pets in my own home since my pup prefers human friends, I will care for your pet in any way you need in your own home. I prefer homes where I can let your pet out into a fenced yard but am happy to take pets out on a leash if they are leash trained and/or you prepare me for their behavior.
“Reliable communication and pet care. Our first time using Rover and it was nice to be able to leave and not be worried about the cats while we were gone. Check-ins with pictures were great :)”
About: I am a very loving, compassionate person. I take pride in this and will treat your pet as if they were my own. My exceptional care will give you peace of mind while you are away. My promise to you is that your pet will be showered with love and cuddles and will BEGGING for more. I currently am not working. I am very flexible with my schedule. My availability during the week and weekends are open. I will have my calendar updated weekly. I will follow all the guidelines and rules that you have for your dog in your home. For example feeding times, number of walks, furniture rules, etc.
