Karli was great! ! Karli gave me a very detailed update and very detailed pictures of each cat. I appreciate how many pictures Karli took, it made me feel comfortable knowing my cats are out and safe! Karli was extremely responsive and flexible, and Karli helped us out last minute. Karli scooped my liter, fed my cats wet food, played laser, and plugged my camera in as a favor. I would highly recommend Karli to watch anyone’s pets

My cat can be finicky when we travel and doesn't want to eat properly. Not an issue this trip. Thanks to Jackie. She made it a family affair including her daughter in pet care. This is great in my opinion as it teaches responsibility and proper pet care as well as offers new experiences for the pets she's caring for. My kitty is getting old & lazy, but she responded well to their care and is happy and healthy. Thank you! Will reach out in the future as needed.

Dan was a much appreciated help with my 2 cats while I was out of the country for 2 weeks! He was attentive and provided great descriptions and photos after each visit. Cannot recommend his services enough, will definitely go to him again next time.

About: I have been volunteering with shelter dogs for almost a decade in many capacities-walking, fostering, and training. As a stay-at-home-mom with a son newly in school I’m looking to fill my days with more dog buddies! I’ve owned two senior sweeties and now a puppy, so I have lots of age range experience. I also have practice walking strong pullers and reactive dogs. I treat all dogs like my own family! Most of my availability is in the mornings before noon or in the evenings after 5 on weekdays. Weekends I am available most of the time! However, I have a flexible schedule so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any requests! I offer limited dog boarding in my home-I will only board one dog at a time and they should be good with dogs and kids! I have a fenced yard, a VERY friendly young dog, and lots of availability for walks. Dogs can be crated if needed, and are allowed on all furniture (including the bed) to make them feel as at home as possible.

About: While I’m beginning my professional pet care journey, I’ve been around animals my entire life — including cats, dogs, turtles, and more — and I’m very comfortable providing loving, compassionate, high-quality care. I’m intuitive, empathetic, detail-oriented, and a strong communicator, which I believe are all important qualities when caring for animals. I understand how important it is to place your pets in trustworthy hands, and I’ll always treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I’m not just there to complete tasks — I genuinely love animals and enjoy bonding with them, making sure they feel loved, comforted, and cared for while their humans are away. Whether your pet needs a fun, active environment or a calm and relaxing space, I’m happy to accommodate their unique personality and needs to help them feel happy, safe and comfortable while in my care. Thank you for considering me! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! :) I have a very flexible schedule as someone who creates my own work hours, which allows me to accommodate many different schedules and give your pet plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I care for your pets in your home with the same love, attention, and respect that I would give my own. I greet them warmly and offer plenty of pets, cuddles, affection, and companionship based on their individual personality and comfort level. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, playtime, and any additional accommodations or care requested. For pets who require walks, I ensure they are safely harnessed and comfortable while allowing them time to explore and sniff at their own pace. I stay attentive to their surroundings, prioritize their safety around other animals, and make sure they remain comfortable in all weather conditions — never too hot or too cold. My goal is always to help your pets feel safe, cared for, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. :)

My cats were well taken care of. - also the house was in perfect condition - no scattered kitty litter, no spilled food. My kitties were not even mad at me! Keri made sure she had eyes on each kitty at each visit and when she left on the last day she secured my keys safely but in a location where she had access in case of emergency. Keri is a real pro!!

About: I’ve had small chihuahuas to pitbulls in my life, the size of dog does not matter in what their needs are, the dog is nothing to fear but to be respected. I’m working full time so only evenings work for me on being able to walk or visit your pup but the day does not matter I’m available 7 days a week As a dog owner myself making sure there’s a good fence up and clear line of vision to them is the number one safety when In a home

My cats are usually out-of-sight as soon as unfamiliar people are over, but both were immediately drawn to Angelica's gentle and low-key vibe. I met a couple of other Rovers and pretty much let my cats choose their sitter. Angelica was very responsible and took perfect care of them, sending sweet pictures of my little guys while I was gone. Charlie and Fanon were happy and relaxed when I returned home. I'm so happy to have hired her to care for them, thank you, Angelica!

Parisa was an absolute angel. Our beloved pet rabbit became sick while we were out of town, and she immediately stepped in to provide emergency care without hesitation. Her compassion, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals truly saved our little one’s life. We are forever grateful for what she did. she went above and beyond in every way imaginable. It’s rare to find someone as kind and dedicated as Parisa, and we can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. She’s simply amazing

Michael was great! Our pup has some aggression and resource guarding and I was nervous about using a service. Michael’s calm demeanor put him at ease immediately. We will definitely be asking Michael to check-in and walk our pup again!

Yara was a lifesaver -- a chaotic last minute work demand was handled so smoothly thanks to her quick communication and punctuality. She was very sweet with my animals and I'm so glad to have her among my group of local favorites on Rover.

Always attentive and takes great care of our cats. Multiple repeat bookings from us. This last trip had a few bumps: our home lost power & our computer battery backup failed causing an alarm. Elijah contacted us and collectively corrected it. Then she alerted us to people in our yard, turns out it was the neighbors watering our vegetables. But these are great examples of how Elijah shows she really cares & is proactive.

After reviewing Beth’s profile, I knew my husband and I found a good fit for our cat Greyleigh. All of our instructions were followed, and Grey seemed to warm up to Beth as the days went on! We appreciate the attentiveness and care that Beth showed Greyleigh during the drop-ins. We’ll definitely be booking with Beth in the future!

We had Nicholas care for our dog and four cats while we were away, including administering medication twice daily for one of our cats. Overall, he was reliable and made sure everyone was fed, cared for, and safe. We appreciated the photos and updates during visits. Our dog did get spooked during one walk due to a loud car and had a harder time going out after that, so more backyard time was used. There was an accident during one of the visits, which he handled and cleaned up, and we appreciated that. Overall, we’re grateful our pets were well cared for and would book again.

MELINA IS THE BEST! I was gone for two weeks and she made daily visits to my fur baby. Mind you my cat isn’t the friendliest but she made sure he was well fed and looked after. She was so patient and friendly and made the process so smooth. She sent me photos and updates daily that made me feel so relieved being out of town for so long. Definitely rebooking her each time and recommending her to everyone!!! You fur baby is safe with her! Thank you so much Melina!! 10/10

Emily was perfect. She's all the things you want in a person you're inviting into your home to take care of your beloved pets: bright, communicative, experienced, and confident. This was a trial run before having her stay in our place for three days and two nights, and we won't worry about a thing while we're away. Highly recommended.
