“So happy to have found Phinea as our new Rover friend!! She did a wonderful job checking in with our cat and home. She was very responsive, took tons of pictures and checked every box we could have asked for! We will 100% be booking again with Phinea and recommend to others!”
“Melissa was amazing with Charlie my cat! All the pictures were above and beyond so I could see he was happy! I would definitely use Melissa again, thank you!”
“Jessica did an amazing job! She was is reliable, timely, and responsive. Her updates were detailed and her update pics of our two cats were really cute, which helped a ton since we missed them so much. When we came home, everything was neat orderly. 10/10 would recommend Jessica. We’ll be using her again on our next trip out of town!”
“Jessie took such good care of my cat! She sent lots of pictures and updates which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely book her again in the future.”
“Grace was absolutely awesome! Her attention to detail is top notch, even when your pets hide for 5 days! Daily text and photo updates provided without asking which was great. She clearly loves animals and takes pride in the services she offers! A++ thanks again”
“Abigail is truly the BEST. Our cat absolutely loves her and I couldn't recommend her more. She sends the best updates and is so responsive and helpful always. We love working with Abigail! :)”
“Second time using Terri and it feels like she has been watching our cats for years. Our older cat Cosmo is usually standoffish with strangers, and even people he has known his whole life. But when Terri comes in he instantly goes to the room with his toys for play time. Our very first meeting our younger cat Goose jumped up on her lap (she never does this with us!). Terri is a cat whisperer and we love her. I feel like they don’t even seem phased by us going on vacation anymore. They love her so much and she clearly goes above and beyond in making them feel taken care of. Thanks so much Terri!!”
“I'm so happy I found Rae on Rover! She comes over twice a week to hang out with my crew which makes me feel much better about being gone all day at work. She's dependable, trustworthy, communicative, and so good with my animals. I can tell my animals like her by the pictures she sends to me. My little dog, who is a little skittish around new people, even jumped on her lap after only a couple visits! If my dogs and cat like you, I like you!”
“Kristen took great care of our young, playful cats while we were new to the neighborhood and needed to travel. She was super responsive, kind, and communicative. Will definitely use her as a sitter again!”
“Ellen was an incredible pet sitter once again! This was my third time booking with her and I’m so grateful for the care and love she always gave my cat Coconut every visit. She sends lots of pictures and followed my directions well. I’ll sadly be moving to an apartment farther away soon, but I highly recommend Ellen! If she’s available, book her!! 😊”
“Chelsea was great with my kitties! I felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care. Got lots of photos and updates from her. Would definitely book her again for my next trip!! 💯”
“Adri has been an absolute delight to work with! She is great with my dog, Fermi, who can be pretty shy and nervous, is very responsive over text, and has rearranged her schedule to work with what we need. I would absolutely recommend Adri to others looking to get their pup some love while they are out and about.”
“Sara was so great with watching two cats while I was away for a few days. She sent so many great photos of the both of them playing and having a nice time, and I'm pretty my cat was a little dissappointed when it was me that walked in the door upon my return, and not his new buddy. Definitely will book again!”
“Erik was amazing!! He went above and beyond for our pets and did even more than we expected to make sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. We would absolutely recommend and book with him again!”
About: My husband and I are extremely active outdoors. We're always walking around our neighborhood, nearby parks, and hiking in the mountains. We love our pets and enjoy spending time with furry friends. We have a super sweet 8 year old Golden Retriever named Walter and a 9 year old sweet Cat named Princess (she also loves dogs). We have experience with most breeds after hosting and caring for Pups on Rover since 2018. During the day, I run a small business and also teach yoga. My schedule is flexible to accommodate your pups schedule. However, I may be gone between 4-6 hours at a time. My husband can also serve as backup for potty breaks if necessary. I’m the only one who would stay overnight if we make arrangements for overnight stays. We've both had pets our whole life of various needs so we will be accommodating to anything you and your pet need! We follow instructions well. We would love to meet you and your pets! Have a good day! *If you are a returning customer and my calendar is showing unavailable, please email me anyway. If we are in town we would be happy to still host our repeat clients! I own a small business so I have flexibility with my schedule and work demands. I can be available most days and nights to be with your pet as you may recommend. My husband may also help me if for any reason I have a minor conflict. I love morning and evening walks and happy to take your pup along! We start the day with a feeding and going out back to play or for a walk. Happy to do a midday potty break or walk if needed. Evenings I can follow a feeding schedule and downtime as prescribed by the pet parent.
“Gregory is a fantastic cat sitter! He was willing to do a FaceTime meet & greet and asked great questions before caring for our cat over the Holidays. He genuinely cares for the pets he checks in on and provides great photos. We will definitely use him again if we can, as it can be difficult to find a good cat sitter!”
Lakeside cat parents share their Rover experiences
You should absolutely trust Abigail on taking care of your pets, she did an awesome job taking care of my kitty Elvis, her notes after the visits were so detailed, plenty of pictures everyday, I didn't have to worry about my son during the trip 🤣 she followed everything that I asked her to do. Definitely recommend her total peace of mind!!!
Maeve was so great!! Would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. She was able to accommodate a last-minute drop in for my cat and made the whole process so easy - I felt so much more at ease having to leave him knowing Maeve was checking in on him!
We were so lucky to find Grace to cat sit for us! She was upbeat, bubbly and took great care of Kitty while we were gone. At meet and greet she asked about expectations I hadn't even thought of. She worked with us through multiple (unexpected) modifications of our schedule, happily adjusting to whatever we needed. I highly recommend Grace as a pet sitter. She goes above and beyond!!
