Katie was so nice and personable and was great with timing and feeding! Our boy has a special diet but I was confident that Katie would handle it with ease. We received many pictures of playtime!!

Jada is a great cat sitter! She took great care of my cats, ensuring they were well-fed and happy. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away.

You came through for us when we needed you most — thank you for saving Teddy! Being able to book you at a moment’s notice was such a relief, especially knowing you love Teddy just as much as we do. He absolutely lights up when you come to visit! We’re so grateful for your care and kindness.

I cannot recommend Patrick D. enough! From the moment we first connected, he was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. He took care of my dogs as if they were his own — sending regular updates, photos, and even little notes about how the day went, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Kevin and William absolutely adored HIM (which says a lot, because they're usually a bit shy with new people). When I came home, everything was spotless, my pets were happy, and their routine had been perfectly followed. Patrick went above and beyond in every way. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, look no further. I will absolutely be booking with him again!

About: Hi friends! First let me say, thank you for considering me as a potential caretaker for your fur babies. I take my job very seriously with heart and compassion. I have had a life surrounded by pets ever since I can remember. I have trained German Shepards with my uncle, done volunteer work with kittens and care for three disabled pets of my own currently. I also work at the humane society with many animals in need. At home and work, I am relied on for bathing, feeding, walking, medication and more. I have experience with all ages and temperaments of animals. Thank you for taking the time to review my profile, I hope your needs are perfectly met! My schedule does vary but I am mostly available early mornings and late afternoons however I always keep my calendar updated for so you can get the most accurate bookings. I genuinely care for your pets comfort and believe in treating them with true respect. I am extremely patient and fantastic at deescalating tough situations. I am able to administer medications and crate dogs when needed.

Karen is amazing. Played with my two cats, showed up on time. Followed instructions to a "T", and my girls really appreciated her company and care. Made going out of town easy and stress free. I'll definitely book again when I need cat care, I cannot stress how amazing of an experience this was!

About: I love all animals. I lost my bull mastif/lab mix, Honey Bear, in February 2018. She was 12 1/2 yo. As well as my tabby, Eli, who was 19y/o, in March 2020. I am not ready for a new pupor kitten, so I thought this would provide an avenue to express my love for animals as well as help others. One of my favorites is dog walking. Because I work from home I am able to invest more outdoor activities for your furbabies. I do not have a fenced yard, however I am close to areas that can accomodate. I am very attentive and experienced to handling larger dog breeds and cats. If you are looking for someome that will love your pets as her own, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance for your consideration!

This was our first time having Meghan care for our two kitties (big cats). My first comment is, she is a blessing. Due to unforeseen circumstances we were without a cat sitter shortly before going out of country for over 2 weeks and were more than a little stressed. Luckily, we found Meghan who not only was available but made us feel totally at ease. She is a great communicator and goes the extra mile. I can't say enough good things about her. We will definitely continue to have her care for our kitties for all of our future needs.

Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!

About: I am an art teacher full-time during the school year. I am available for weekend house sitting starting on Fridays when I get off. I am open to doing house sitting during the week as well, as long as you are okay with your pet being alone while I am at work. Message me so we can work out details! I’ve had my own cats for 8 years. However, I am a huge dog lover too! I have lived with many dogs through roommates and developed special bonds with many of them. I would be entrusted to care for them if a roommate was away. I love sending pics of your fur babies to you while I take care of them! I am a teacher. So, summertime is extremely flexible, and, sometimes, wide open! I can make a lot work in the summer to fit your pet’s needs. Since I have 2 cats, I am looking to mostly take care of your pets in your home. I am all about comfort for my own pets, and make that the priority for your pets in your home!

I am thrilled to have found Shira! She is a lovely person and my cats warmed up to her immediately. Even my elderly, former feral cat loved her. She was quick to communicate about a potential issue with one of the kitties on the first day and it was solved almost immediately. I came home to relaxed and happy cats with immaculate dishes and litter-boxes. It is clear that Shira loves animals and I feel so at peace knowing that I have someone trustworthy to watch my babies in the future.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. I understand each dog has their own unique personality and I have the patience to learn and work with them. Food, walks, and playtime can be the highlight of a dog's day so to be able to be the one to provide that is awesome. Having 2 dogs of my own, pet care is a regular daily thing. I have a flexible work from home schedule, so I can fit in appointments whenever, even last minute! My dogs get walked twice a day. We have a fenced yard so when they have extra energy to get out I'm able to let them run. I will follow the guidelines set out by the client for how their dog's needs are best met.

Amanda was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and I felt so safe and comfortable with her watching my kitties. My apartment unfortunately had a leak while I was away, and she went above and beyond to make sure that it was taken care of. She provided photos every day of my boys and spent time getting to know them and building trust by giving them treats and hanging out with them. 10/10! Thank you, Amanda!

I would HIGHLY recommend using Christian as your pet sitter! She updates you throughout her entire stay, she answers your questions and she is respectful of your belongings. We got an unexpected package while we were gone and she brought it into the house for us. My dogs looked so comfortable with her being there while we were not. I wasn't sure about using Rover but after this experience with Christian I will recommend it to my friends with pets, and if my friends live in the area Christian is who I would recommend. My dogs did not have to leave their place of comfort, what is better than that? She will work with you and pays attention to your pets while she is there. If you want an animal lover to watch your pets and give them lots of attention and love, choose Christian!!

Rachel took great care of our 2 kitties! She played with the friendly one and found the shy one hiding! She even went the extra mile and untangled one of our cat's favorite toys that was horribly knotted. Would recommend her for your cats too!

Amber did a great job taking care of my cats! She followed every instruction. One of my cats has digestive issues so feeding was more involved than just opening a can of food. Amber went above and beyond my expectations and I would highly recommend her to everyone!

She sends great pictures and updates. She's definitely a person to trust with your pets while you're away! 10/10 😊

I needed someone to drop in on Brodie over the weekend while I was traveling, and Jess was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. She was even happy to have a FaceTime call before the first visit, which gave me great peace of mind. Jess came by four times in total, always on time, and sent tons of pictures and videos so I could see how happy my boy was with her. It’s clear she truly cares. 10/10 I would definitely recommend her!

Hampton is always so communicative and lovely and provides the best updates. He even goes so far as to tidy up litter box and take out trash, which I so appreciate! I will continue booking him as long as he’s able to!
