“This was my first time using Rover. Heather B. was amazing! She cared for my two cats for 7 days, 1x/day. The daily timing of visits was consistent with what was agreed upon. The photos and notes she posted were so complete and helpful that I really felt comfortable with my decision to use Rover, and especially picking Heather B. This experience has helped inspire me to travel more, knowing my kitties are in good hands!”
“This is my first time using Rover. I chose Nina to check-in on my cats, and I am so glad! Nina is the best! She truly cares about your pets and will do everything she can to make visits go smoothly! Book with her!!”
“Debra took excellent care of my kitty, Pickles, while I was gone. Sent lots of pictures putting me at ease that someone was spending great time with him. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Love Stephanie! She is incredibly sweet, caring, and professional. She went above and beyond—not only did she brush my cats’ teeth, clean the litter box, and play with them, but she also vacuumed my room and even took out the trash! I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in such great hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter!”
“Debbie is the best. I was so stressed about leaving my four baby kitties, and she eased my mind. She’s so caring and thorough and took care of them like would. Love Debbie and I would use her again.”
About: I have been taking care of my neighbors, family, friends, and my own dog/pets for 10 years including walks, feeding, watching, and helping train. I have experience with puppies and older dogs as well as injured or sick dogs. I am currently in a local college for health care. I am free all day Saturday-Monday and after 3 Tuesday-Friday. I have transportation and can drive a reasonable distance. I would follow any rules you have set for your dog (ex. food allowed, walking requirements, type of leash/collar for walks, and if they need to be crated or not) I would be able and willing to provide any medical care needed as long as I am shown how to correctly.
“Emily is absolutely amazing! She knows just how to handle my 2 cats, who have completely opposite personalities, and she gives them so much love and attention. I am at ease when I am away because I know she is taking such good care of my babies. She is also so patient with my sassy girl cat! I couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Emily. Book her now!!!”
About: I had a deaf dog for two years in college and have experience caring for my family's dogs, including walking, bathing, and feeding. I have cat/house sat for weekends and dog sat for weeks at a time with twice-daily visits. I work from home 50% of the time (usually Wednesdays, Fridays, and every other Monday) and can stop by for pet walks, visits, and care while I’m home. I am around most weekends. I will provide individualized care for dogs on walks and in their homes, including careful walks and wellness checks after each. I love playing with cats and dogs, so I will keep them entertained!
“Felicity was wonderful with my cats. She did so much and was so reliable. I know they will miss her and I'd be thrilled to have her back any time. Thank you Felicity ❤️”
“Sydney is the best! She is extremely helpful, professional and attentive to my dog's needs. She is always on time and thorough with her visits. Couldn't ask for a better sitter!”
“Pamela is punctual and conscientious. She took care of three of our pets (our dog traveled with us this time). One of the kitties needs medication two times per day and I could have set my watch to Pamela’s arrival to do that for us. We appreciated her taking that weight off our minds. Highly recommended!”
“Lindsay is the absolute best! She has done drop in visits everyday for weeks to give medication to my cat Nicki. She comes everyday, on time, always with a smile. She’s so sweet and kind and Nicki absolutely loves her! Nicki is doing well because of Lindsay’s great care. She has become a friend and an important part of our family. You won’t find anyone better to care for your pet!”
About: I have previously worked at a cat shelter (approx 250-300 cats), I have been a cat owner consistently for 21 years, I have sat a “zoo” before ~ dogs, cats, birds, a frog, fish, etc. I love to spend quality time with pets, not just a quick 5 minute drop in. I will happily rub their belly on top of feeding them. I have never, ever met a cat that didn’t like me! Typically the complete opposite & they end up adoring me. 😅 I work full time during the day til 5:00 and am remote 3 days a week (mon, tues, fri), with a compressed workweek that makes it possible to have every other Friday off. M-F I could do an evening visit only, and on days off (every other Friday or weekends) I could do one visit in the morning & one in the evening. Thanks to summer hours at my FT job I am available after 1pm every Thursday through August 28th. My cats are spoiled ~ there’s 2 litter boxes, 2 wet food dishes, 2 areas with dry crunchy food, and a water fountain. They get Churu’s or treats every once in awhile. I keep the floors clean so they don’t find some random thing to chew on. So needless to say I would treat your cat like royalty pretty much. 😊
About: While I may be new to professional pet sitting, I truly love being around animals and have a deep level of compassion for them. You can trust that your pet will be safe, loved, and treated like family with me!" I work full-time as a third grade teacher and also teach in a summer literacy program. I am available part-time to provide love and happiness to your pet! I will care for your pet as I would want someone to care for mine. I will treat your home and pet with the respect and care and follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I’ll provide plenty of attention, affection, and keep your pet comfortable and safe while you’re away. Plus, I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel connected and confident your pet is happy!
“Joe is great!! Really cared for my 4 cats while I was in Italy. He sent pictures everyday and told me how they were doing. He’s a great communicator and caring person. I will definitely hire him again for my next trip.”
