She is an excellent sitter for our two cats. This was our second time and we will happily hire her again in future. She goes above and beyond; in the warm weather she visited an additional time just to make sure our cats weren’t too hot. We are comfortable traveling with the knowledge that our kitties are in good hands.

Benjamin has been a life saver! My kitten needs daily pills and injections and he has been great with her! Luckily he does all the hard work and somehow gets the pills in her with little difficulty (except when she manages to spit them out...). Highly recommend!

About: I have proudly cared for my own dog for the past 9 years as well as my family and friend’s dogs as well, giving me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, companionship, and overall pet care. I am a beginner to Rover, however I genuinely love animals and understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and a safe, caring environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel comfortable, happy, and loved. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine, as I have cared for my own dog for the past 9 years. I work full time during the week, but I am available after 6PM on weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets. On weekends, I have open availability and can dedicate more time to longer walks, playtime, and personalized care. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I ensure they have fresh water, are fed according to instructions, receive plenty of attention, exercise, and bathroom breaks, and are always kept safe. I also provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own dog.

About: I’m reliable and trustworthy, with experience caring for a variety of pets, from small dogs to active 1-year-old labs, as well as cats and chickens. I’ve watched multiple pets at the same time and can handle different needs, including giving medication or keeping up with high-energy animals. I’ve been watching pets since high school and grew up around dogs and cats, so being around animals comes naturally. I’m responsible, patient, and caring, and I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m a full-time working professional with a very flexible schedule that will allow me to drop in during the day or work from home if an all day shift is needed. Depending on my schedule I may be available for short notice requests and I don’t mind same day cancellation as long as there is no travel involved. I try to treat pets like family, giving them attention, patience, and care so they feel safe and comfortable. Every animal is different, so I adjust to their personality. Whether that is lots of playtime, quiet companionship, or giving them space when they need it. Animals are very intuitive, and I’ve found that bringing calm, loving energy helps them open up and feel at ease. I always pay attention to their body language to make sure they’re happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care and house trained dogs for over 15 years. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Fur babies thrive on routine and respond to a set schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime. I’m currently working part time and I’m able to schedule myself my own hours. So I’ll have plenty of time to play and dedicate myself to your pups. I provide care in your home, secure yard, or neighborhood as that’s where your pet is most familiar / comfortable. I ask you to please let me know if they have any special needs, if there are other local pets or people they do or do not get along with.

Kathleen was super easy to communicate with and responsive. She jumped in to help us on very short notice when other cat care plans fell through. We felt comfortable knowing she had everything taken care of, and her daily check-ins were welcome reassurance that all was well while we were away.

About: As someone who will take any excuse to spend time with animals, I have developed a great reputation as a reliable pet sitter. I enjoy playing with animals and ensuring that they are safe and happy while their owners are away. I am currently working a full-time job and am gone for about 8 hours out of the day. On my days off I am happy to spend more time at home with them. I will not be caring for pets at my own home. I will be coming to the client. Pets are not allowed at my home.

Jenna was amazing! It was our first time using Rover for our cat and rabbit. Our rabbit is a senior and we were very nervous about having to leave him, but Jenna did an incredible job and did his medications and accommodated his specific feeding regimen very well. She gave us peace of mind during our trip and we would absolutely use her again. Thank you Jenna!

About: I grew up with many pets including donkeys, ponies, chickens, tortoises, cats and dogs. I also have experience volunteering at a horse therapy center, as well as caring for marine life at a sea center. I have a 4 year old male cat that I adopted from the local shelter named Bear and he has become the heart of our family. I adopted a kitten from the local shelter about a month ago, and he has been an absolute joy. The experience has taught me a lot about introducing new cats and the intricacies of their interactions. I have always been intuitive with animals and I will be alert to ensure the health and happiness of your pets. I work flexible hours in a hospitality role and love to fit pet care into my weekly routine. I am able to be flexible and accommodate last minute requests. I will work with you and your home environment to ensure your pet gets the care it needs. I understand that not everyone has a fenced in yard, so I am willing to accompany your pet outside as necessary.

About: I am a care professional whom has raised several dogs, I currently have a pitty mix at home who is an absolute love and great with other dogs. I have watched dogs and exotic pets (snake, bearded dragon, etc.) for several people while they were out of town and I have raised and walked dogs my entire life (Happy to do neighborhood walks, beach runs, or hikes depending on needs of your dog). I work mostly from home and I have a large fenced backyard for hours of fun outdoor play if you are in need in home boarding for them. I am a lover of all animals and would be honored to love and care for your pet(s) as if they were my own. I work mostly from home (only gone about 2/3 hours maximum on some days) so most of my time would be spent at home playing and caring for your pup. I have a cozy, safe and love filled home with a large fenced back yard and a large community park nearby for all the fun walks. I have a super sweet pup that would love to play with and keep your doggo(s) company. I am happy to accommodate any specific feeding schedules, medical needs, etc. for your pup and will care for and love them like they are my own.

Cheryl is excellent! She is very thorough and responsive. She was willing to do a meet and greet with us before watching our cats and we could tell she was very organized and responsible. She took great care of our cats, sent us updates/photos, and followed all our instructions with great attention to detail. Will definitely book with her again!

Cait watched our cat over the Christmas and New Year holidays and was great! She communicated clearly on each task (feeding, litter, etc.) but also gave updates on Nico’s mood and behavior. It was our first time hiring Cait so appreciated the care and consideration! She even went above and beyond to take a photo for an appliance service situation we had while we were away. Look forward to hiring Cait again.

Debrah is absolutely AMAZING!! She is so very kind and was so understanding with my last minute booking and trying to get everything together when I had a family emergency. She send me pictures of my cats at every feeding and my usually shy cats took to Debrah right away!! I will definitely be using her again and certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, kind, and responsible sitter! Thank you so much Debrah from me and my furry family members!
