“My first time using Rover. Julie made me very comfortable leaving my dogs sending pictures during her visits. She had good rapport with them during her meet & they “posed” well for pictures while I was gone so that rapport obviously continued.”

“Kate came for drop in visits with our 2 tiny toy poodles. Our girls can be timid but I knew right away after meeting her that she knew how to manage these two. She and her husband took their time getting to know the girls and it was obvious the girls were comfortable! Kate made regular visits and was great about communicating, which put my mind at ease. If I sent a text or called there was always an immediate response. Kate also sent lots of pictures. We just got home from our time away and the girls are happy and healthy. We will most certainly be contacting Kate again. I highly recommend her sitting services!”

“Super pleased with Dani and her efforts to stay in touch with updates and photos. Even with a storm she still kept me updated with schedule changes. She also took care of my plants while I was away. Dani is super sweet and I have nothing but great things to say. Would recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy help at home with your pets (or plants!) I will be reconnecting with her in the future for any care I may need in the future with Pep!”

While on our trip she kept us informed after every visit with pictures and made sure Calvin was fed and looked after. Would highly reccomend if looking for a sitter. Thanks Cristina!😊”

About: I’ve been taking care of my own cats for 12 years, and I absolutely love them! I’ve managed to give my (very difficult) elderly cat an inhaler, I looked after and changed the diapers of my sister's kittens with Giardia, and I recently trapped and spayed a stray kitten who was pretty much feral, and now she’s our sweet cuddly angel. I can keep your litter box spotless, and I’ll make sure your baby is as comfortable as possible while they’re missing you! I am a part time student, making my schedule very flexible! I’m available anytime except for 12pm-5:30pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. Weekends are great for me! Looking forward to meeting your cat(s)! I know cats aren't always the most trusting of new people, so I'll be sure to make them feel as safe as I can. No direct eye contact (at first), no loud noises, slow approaches, etc. If your cat needs medication to be administered, I will do my best to build trust before anything else. I want your cat(s) to feel as safe as possible.

About: I’ve always had multiple dogs in my household since I was little, so I’m very used to taking care of animals. Since I’ve moved away, I miss my dogs and other animals a lot, so I love pet sitting! I’ve watched cats, dogs, birds, and even chickens. I’m very on time when it comes to walk and feeding schedules (and bed times if that’s something you do). At home full time so I’ll have plenty of time for your babies! I’m also very organized with my schedule so if you have any preferences or restrictions for your pets, please don’t hesitate to let me know! I live near Haydel‘s Bakery in Jefferson (such a plus right?). I have a house that has a fenced in backyard as well. Very safe and quiet neighborhood, love it!

We are so fortunate to have been able to meet Natalie and have her watch our dog while out of town. From the very initial meet and greet, I knew this was going to be a great experience. She has kept in communication through the duration of her visits which is amazing for my peace of mind. She has made this such an easy transaction for North and myself. I will absolutely use her in the near future!

Nina did a fantastic job checking in on our dog and cat while we were away for the weekend. From the very beginning, she was polite, communicative, and easy to work with. She made sure we were always in the loop with regular updates and photos, which helped us feel confident and at ease knowing our pets were being well cared for. Both our cat and dog seemed happy and comfortable in her care, and it was clear she took the time to understand their routines and personalities. Nina was also very respectful of our home—everything was just as we left it, and we truly appreciated the care she took while we were gone. Overall, Nina was responsible, trustworthy, and clearly great with animals. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful sitter!

Elise is truly a gem! She cared for our two cats, Thor and Freya, this April and once again delivered such a comforting, reliable experience. Her Rover cards were thoughtful and full of adorable photos that showed just how relaxed and happy the cats were in her care. It gave me so much peace of mind to see them playing, lounging, and clearly feeling safe with her. Elise is consistent, communicative, and brings a calm energy our cats absolutely love. I’m always grateful to have her as a sitter — she’s someone I trust completely.
