“Elisabeth took incredible care of my cat while I was away! I got plenty of photos and she was even kind enough to give in to his daily demands to be brushed. It was such a relief to know he was well taken care of while I was gone for two weeks. Elisabeth was able to step in and extend her visits when my return trip was delayed for a day. Highly recommended!”
“I cannot say enough about Abigail! Wow! She was incredible to work with and she was exceptional with our dogs. I loved her updates and photos - I swear it looked like our dogs were smiling in the video. She is trustworthy and conscientious!”
“Andrea surpassed *every* expectation we had for our three cats. She didn’t just get our shy girl to come out of hiding, but she even got her to engage and moreover, she’s actually a braver kitten than *before* we left. She followed all our instructions, communications were always timely and thorough. She did an amazing job of giving the flavor and tenor of the interactions between her and our fur friends, and also how they were interacting with each other in our absence. Andrea is a consummate professional and I can’t say enough good things about our experience! She’s now our go-to when we need to travel.”
“Christine was very reliable to watch our 2 cats. Both cats became increasingly trusting of her and she sent us great pictures. She was communicative, proactive and we would trust her to take care of our cats again.”
“We were very satisfied with our experience in using Bri to care for our dog while we were out of town. She conducted 5 drop-in visits and followed our instructions perfectly. We recommend her services whole-heartedly and we would definitely use her again.”
“An amazing sitter! She went above and beyond for us. So thankful for her and being able to drop in last minute for us. I would recommend to anyone. She handled our crazy pups so well.”
“Lauren did an amazing job. She reached out to meet our dog and us beforehand and completely fulfilled our needs. Exceeded expectations! Look forward to working with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Madison was amazing with our kitten! She was attentive, flexible and caring. Her communication was amazing (she went above and beyond) and most of all Knox loved her!”
“Carolyn is amazing! She watched our cat while we were away on vacation. She administered medication every day and made sure to send us fun pics of our cat! She is hands down the best cat sitter on here!”
About: I have take care of dogs and cats since I can remember. I’ve always had family pets that I looked after. Recently I started to pet sit professionally and have looked after pets with all manners of personalities and needs. I am currently working full time with a hybrid schedule. Monday through Wednesday in the office and Thursday through Friday remote. I am free every weekend and anytime after 5pm. Because each pet parent is unique and has their own ways to raise and care for their pets I strictly adhere to their rules and guidelines. That includes areas they have their pets walk and house rules for those that request house sitting.
About: I started off with two dogs of my own as a teenager. After so many years of joy, they're no longer with me. People are often surprised that I had a hermit crab for 10 years. He died when I went on vacation, so I am very aware of the risks we take entrusting another with the care of a beloved pet. I also have about five years experience caring for a rabbit. I miss them all dearly, but the responsibility was huge as a pet parent. So, now I'm very happy to fill in for others when they're in need. I do have a steady part-time job, which leaves me room to do what I really enjoy- caring for pets! For my first Rover gig, I provided full-time day care for a puppy, but she's all grown up now. Ideally, I would do the whole situation over again with a new puppy because being a Dog Nanny is the best and most rewarding job I have ever had-potty training and all. I prefer to have my eyes on dogs at all times. They won't be outside alone, and will not be unleashed unless we're in a safe, enclosed area. If they have snacks or toys, they'll be supervised just in case.
“Claudia responded very quickly to all of our questions and took the time for a pre-visit before her first drop-in to make sure that our dog was familiar with her. She also has a very calming manner, which was helpful with our anxious hound. We highly recommend her!”
“I’m so happy that I found Karen! She did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She sent so many photos and really made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care.”
About: I have always had a dog as a pet and the dogs who have passed are still very much alive in my memories. They are an invaluable dispensary of love. I currently have 2 dogs of various ages that love attention and love their daily walks. Food, Snacks, Walks, Snuggles, what can be better? I have flexible hours and can work with your schedule. Contact me for details at anytime Boarding is always a great option. I am a school teacher during the year and am off in the summers. That currently means lots of attention and flexible outside time for your pets. :) I have a fenced yard with lots of space. My dogs love to run in the yard and play. I have big water bowls for the dogs to be able to stay hydrated and plenty of snacks available at the owners requests. I also have 3 different dog beds around the house that the dogs can lay in at their own convenience and comfort. During the school year I am a teacher. Until September I am taking time off to give my family and my dogs the extra time that they prefer. Currently our dogs go for about a 30-40 minute walk everyday. My son is 11 and is the main reason we had 4 dogs of our own at one time. He loves to spilling them with cuddles and run outside with them. I have a modest sized fenced in yard and currently two of my own lovable dogs. I always have dog food available and dog treats but am willing to follow any and all of the dog owners instructions. I also tend to use cleaning supplies that are non toxic, kid and pet friendly.
About: I have taken care of my sister dog for 7 months her name was chichi. I had lots of experience with taking her to walks, making sure she used the bathroom on her walks, also bathing her. I am very playful with dogs and make sure they eat and have a clean bowl of water. I work at my other job during the afternoon but I still am available to take care of your pups from 11am - 2:30 pm. I will always keep your pup in company. I love to watch over playful dogs and love to teach them new tricks. I’m a very kind and generous person and comfortable to be around with dogs.
Kensington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lauren was an amazing pet sitter for our cat while we were out of town. She was reliable, communicative, and gave us peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for. We received regular updates and photos, which made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our trip. It's clear that Lauren genuinely cares about animals, and our kitty was happy, comfortable, and well looked after when we returned home. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Mia is a wonderful cat sitter. This was the first time our two cats met her, and we were surprised by how quickly they became comfortable with her, since they are usually shy around new people. Mia took great care of them, followed the feeding instructions carefully, and was very patient and gentle with them. She also spent time playing with them and made them feel safe and happy. We really appreciate her care and would highly recommend Mia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.
My babies are typically not too comfortable with people they do not know. Tatyjana Communicated with me that the dogs went under the bed but did not give up. She said she was trying to get them to warm up to her and they did. We will definitely have her back again.
Ashley was phenomenal!! My circumstances were so last minute and she was so accommodating and flexible to help. She checked in daily with all the updates and great photos to keep me included in their day to day. My dogs had a wonderful time with her and I would absolutely love to use her services in the future and will hands down be recommending her to others. Thank you!
Katelyn was amazing with Roxy. This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous about how the experience would go. However, Katelyn made sure to send plenty of pictures of Roxy enjoying her drop in visits. She also left the house just like I had left it. Definitely recommend Katelyn and would use her in the future if I ever need a dog sitter or someone to drop in quick if I was ever away from the house again.
