Grateful to Tabitha for taking care of Luna and Oliver while we were out of town! Luna was happy for the company and both cats were well taken care of during the visit.

Nia was by far the sweetest sitter I’ve had yet! She was very attentive to my baby and even sent tons of videos and pictures as requested. She took her for walks and ensured she had fresh food and water each day. I would not hesitate to use Nia again for my baby!

Kaitlin did a phenomenal job with our furry ones. Great communication, did everything the way asked and even did little things to make sure we knew everything was being taken care of. From the check in photos to seeing how our doggos were treating her we knew she was taking wonderful care of them. 100% recommended and will definitely come back to her the next time we might need anything.

Fennel took such good care of my Luffy while I had night classes. They went above and beyond even walking him longer when the weather is nice. I hope we get the opportunity to use their services again! Thank you Fennel!

Lorena is amazing! My pets loved her. Some challenges occurred, and she deftly handled them. I’ll definitely be contacting Lorena next time I need pet sitting. If I could, I’d give her six stars, because she went above and beyond!

Jenny was amazing!! She sent constant updates along with pictures to help us feel at ease while we were away, and she was on time every time. Our pets clearly enjoyed hanging out with her (even our shy cat and anxious dog!) She even went above and beyond to clean up after our dog when he had an accident. Would definitely recommend and book with her again!

Although I ended up having to cancel my trip so Ashley/Olivia didn’t end up doing the drop in visits, Olivia was great at the drop-in visit I scheduled before our trip! My chinchillas took to her immediately. Gus, our fiestiest boy, happily accepted cheek scritches from her and another one of my chins even let her pick him up :) That says a lot about how she interacts with animals because as prey animals, trust doesn’t come easily to chinchillas. She also asked a lot of important questions about their care which I appreciated. She was super responsive and flexible about when I came to pick up my key from her. I would feel at ease with her taking care of my pets the next time I need care for them!

Caroline came in at the last minute and saved the day for a week-long trip for us. When we met, it was clear she had a ton of experience and she was so patient with our high-energy pitties, who absolutely loved seeing her every day! You cannot miss if you book Caroline, she's passionate, communicative, flexible, and the dogs love her.

My wife and I went away for a 9-day trip, and Priscilla boarded our lively, 4-month puppy and we arranged that she would drop in on our 2-year old cat every other day. Priscilla suggested that she could bring the puppy with her when she visited our cat. This was a great suggestion! Priscilla is sweet, and she took care of our animals as though they were her own. I'd recommend her pet sitting and boarding services to anyone.

Jennie is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in every way and treated my dog, Max, like he was her own. From the very first walk, I could tell how much she genuinely cared about him. She sent me updates, gave Max lots of love and attention, and made sure he was happy and comfortable the whole time. Max came back from his walks full of tail wags and smiles! It was such a relief knowing he was in such great hands. I couldn’t recommend Jennie more—she’s the best!

About: While you are away, let your dogs enjoy a pupcation! My wife and I have been caring and training dogs for 10+ years. We have a fenced yard with a lake just beyond that. We currently have 2 friendly dogs who love to play. We can guarantee your dog will have an awesome time! We will train your dog as well if you would like. Dogs will get walked every day and plenty of play time. In this house hold, dogs are part of the family! Able to adapt and provide whatever care you require for your dog. I work 6am - 2pm and my wife works at a hospital over night. So there is always someone home to look after the dogs. If you want, we can take the dog out to the lake. We take ours out there all the time, it is shallow. But if you don't want them to, they don't need to. Our yard is fully fenced and cut off from the pond. Both my wife and I work, but she works night and I work days. So at all times we have someone home watching the pups. We treat your dog just like they were our own. We give them all the love, attention and care that they need. Your dog will gets plenty of play time, cuddles and care.

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love and care for dogs of all shapes and sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to towering Great Danes. I’ve been a devoted dog owner my entire life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m known for being dependable, patient, and genuinely passionate about dogs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply providing a calm and loving presence while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved every step of the way. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 2:45 PM, which allows me to provide attentive pet care during afternoons and evenings on weekdays. I’m fully available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, giving your pet plenty of dedicated time for walks, play, and companionship. My schedule allows me to balance reliable, loving care with consistent availability to meet your pet’s needs throughout the week. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding times, exercise, medication, or play preferences. I make sure to give lots of attention, affection, and positive reinforcement so your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. I also keep the environment clean and secure, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands. My goal is to create a calm, loving atmosphere that feels just like home.

About: It is a true joy spending time with dogs, they are such a blessing in our lives. I know how important it is to find someone who will love and care for your dog as much as you do. That's why I make it a priority to get to know each dog's individual personality and needs, whether they’re an energetic pup or a laid-back senior. I offer in home visits twice a day for up to an hour at a time and dog walking. I’ll make sure your baby gets the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. Your dogs happiness is my top priority and I can’t wait to meet them! I’m lucky enough to work remotely with a flexible schedule on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I am also free on the weekends. I can do at home visits multiple times a day. I can also take your dog for long walks during the day or both! I adhere closely to your instructions on care for your pet in your home, sticking to a routine your pet with use to and comfortable will. Any outdoor time will be heavily supervised with complete attentiveness on your pet.

I am SO glad I found Katelyn on Rover. She is the BEST sitter I have ever had for Charlie. She is very kind and friendly. If I ask her to do something for Charlie, she goes above and beyond to do it for him. She loves Charlie and I am SO happy to have her as my sitter. I wish I could have her around forever!

Madison got along very well with our two cats when we were out for the weekend! They followed all of our instructions to the letter and did extra work to make sure our cats were happy and our home was just the way we left it. She was attentive to the specific emotional needs of each cat. I would highly recommend them for pet sitting.
