“THE PERFECT PET SITTER! Katy is trustworthy, communicative, flexible, and caring—I swear she took better care of Penny than we do! Katy followed every one of my psychotic instructions, sent us so many great videos and photos, and kept us informed at all times. She was proactive in confirming appointment times and asking questions, and most of all—she kept our pup entertained the entire time with walks, toys, outdoor play, runs, and lots of extra affection. I couldn’t ask for better. Thank you Katy!!”


10. Emma C.
“I have known Emma since she was a baby! From the time she could crawl she had a love and fascination with all creatures. Roly Poly bugs, cats, dogs, bunnies, chickens, cows, horses, you name it if Emma came across it, whether books, TV show, adventures outside she became fascinated with every aspect of the animals(Still is). Anytime she comes across a new animal she does a deep dive to find out all she can about them. When She comes across any animal that is wounded or showing signs of illness, She will research and call local vets to see how she can help the animal. She has aided in helping rescue ducks and bunnies and get them to the proper facility to aid their recovery. Emma has watched my own fur babies on multiple occasions is loving and caring with them. They adore her and always are happy to see her. We are lucky to have Emma to rely on to take care of them when we are away.”

15. Nicole V.
About: I’m new to Rover but not new to caring for pets! I’ve grown up around animals and have experience walking, feeding, and playing with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. Friends and family often trust me to care for their pets when they’re away, and I treat each one like my own. I’m dependable, gentle, and excited to build lasting connections with both pets and their people.the Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work full-time and take some classes, but I manage my schedule well and always make time for animals. I’m available for pet care several days in a row and can accommodate overnight stays as well. Whether it’s quick check-ins, feeding, playtime, or just keeping a pet company, I make sure each visit is focused and meaningful. Spending time with pets is something I genuinely enjoy and find relaxing. I don’t offer care in my own home, but when I’m in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all routines and instructions closely to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I respect the space, keep things clean, and give pets lots of attention—whether that’s playtime, feeding, walks, or just quiet companionship. My goal is to keep things as stress-free and consistent as possible while their owners are away.


16. Jill J.

“Awesome sitter!! Really takes great care like it’s her own!”


17. Katherine B.

“Katherine is amazing! It was our extreme pleasure to find her and have her take care of our fur babies! I knew that I didn’t have to worry about them in Katherine’s care!”


18. Kala C.

“Kala watched my two GSDs and sent videos and kept me very updated. I’ve never left them with anyone before so this was all new for me. She did great and will definitely book her again.”




19. Heather M.
About: I am a mom of a 9 year old girl and 13 year old boy. I recently went and house/dog sat for a week. I cleaned the house, played with the dog and cat, fed the dog and cat, and of course there were lots and lots of cuddles. I do have to be able to bring my kids with me as I do no have an option to leave them somewhere. But i will treat your home and your animals as our own. I have always had cats and dogs, up until I had to put our last one down a year ago. I work around part time job Wednesday-friday. I am able to be there with them all other days. They will be left when I have to work but we will be there directly after. We would abide by any rules the dog or cat has. Feeding time would be the same (unless they are fed at 5 Wednesday-friday, then they will be fed a little late.) We are able to let them out, walk them play and snuggle.


20. Magdeline D.
About: I have 2 dogs of my own and take very good care of them. I have helped trained my dog with the invisible fence and help him with commands. I walk my dog everyday and make sure he is fed for breakfast and dinner. I come home and let my dog out to go to the bathroom at any breaks I have during my day. I care for my dog because they need taken care of just like us. I make sure that when I see something that is off about my pet to take initiative.
