“Faith was great with my four cats! Even the one who hides all the time she made sure he had his food. Twice a day feedings and litter maintenance. Will for sure request her again!”


“First time using Amanda for a long weekend. She took special care of our older dog who loves sitting on the front porch and was flexible with timing of his visits. She also did a great job keeping me posted on his visit reports.”

“Matilda was clean, fat, and happy when we got home with no signs of anxiety or stress (she often licks her paws into an infection when I leave, but that didn’t happen this time). Riley sent hilariously terrible pictures of her every day. I don’t know why Matilda was so opposed to having her picture taken, but we got a chuckle out of every one. Riley kept us updated and handled little problems that arose with grace.”

“We love Elizabeth! She’s great with my Great Dane and has become our regular sitter. Responsive, great with care instructions, and super reliable. :)”

“Michelle got our older dog to quickly warm up to her and gave our 3 month old puppy extra play time. She left the house and crates in much better shape than we expected with a puppy still being crate trained. Would definitely recommend and use again!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a kid, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with senior and younger pets. I cared for my own dog in her later years when she developed back leg problems. I helped her move around the house, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her lots of love and patience every day. I additionally took care of my other dog in her early months waking up multiple times nightly to calm her down. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior pet needing extra care, I’m confident in handling all kinds of needs. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, so I’m able to care for pets whenever needed. Pet care easily fits my routine, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pets specific needs and schedule.your pets comfort and routine will always come first. I believe pets are most comfortable and relaxed in their own home, which is why I only offer care in the clients space. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect in return. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.
“Bianca is a wonderful and considerate cat sitter. My kitties were well loved and care for, she followed all instructions, and even brought our mail in when USPS ignored our hold request. Many thanks!”

“Ashely was an absolute rockstar sitter. We looked forward to getting our drop in cards for our 2 boys. The boys looked so comfortable and happy in her pictures she sent us and we knew they were in great hands! We found our forever-sitter!”

About: New to Rover, not new to loving pets. I’m currently offering introductory rates while I build my reviews here. So your pup gets premium care at a great price. I’ve been dog walking plus pet and house sitting since I was a teenager. I’m also a Certified Pharmacy Technician of 20+ years with veterinary experience. I'm a dependable and detail-oriented professional who hails from New Orleans, LA. For the last 4 years, I called Washington DC home, but am now in the very beginning of a leap into long-term international travel... with house and pet sitting plus dog walking as an important part of the journey as I leap. I live a quiet, grounded lifestyle and I deeply respect other people’s space. As a life-long renter with a stellar track record, whether I’m spending time with your pet in your home or just walking them… when it comes to watching your home and also caring for your pet, you can expect clear communication, a clean space when you return, a happy fur baby, and lots of peace of mind while you're away. I treat your pet as if it were my own and your home as if my name were on the deed. I am location-independent, allowing me to have plenty of time to play with my fur babies! My flexible schedule is one of the most rewarding thing about being able to care for your pets. I work from wherever I am. This allows for long walks, dog park adventures, or quiet relaxing moments at your home; depending on the needs and desires of your pet. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to maintain their normal routine and environment so they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free. I follow all instructions closely. Whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, preferred walking routes, or special quirks your pet may have. I treat your home with the same respect I give to my own: keeping things clean, secure, and peaceful. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust not just with your pet, but with your space. Your pet will get my full attention, whether that means playtime, long walks, belly rubs, or just quiet companionship. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how things are going.
“Lindsay is amazing! Jiro loved playing with her and always looked forward to seeing her. She’s very attentive, pays close attention to detail, and has a very warm, welcoming presence. Definitely will be booking with her again!”

About: I've care for all sorts of pets for years. I understand the needs of the busy families who want to make sure their pet babies are cared for while they're away. I enjoy making sure pets are cared for by daily exercise and quality love and care. I will ensure the pets are well fed and take care they are given enough attention. I will ensure the food/water is filled as per the client's request. I will make sure to keep the home of the owner safe and secure for the pet and secure a clean space for the pet as well.
“I hired Jackie to come to my apartment once a week and check on my two beta fish tanks and my tarantula. I was so relieved that she took the job because a lot of people are too intimidated by spiders to accept. She went above and beyond taking care of my fish and my spider, going so far as to troubleshoot my filters and test my tank water. She is extremely knowledgeable about fish and spent a lot of time making sure they were OK. This is so much more than I expected and I felt so confident leaving my pets in her care. She was Amazing with my tarantula and even offered to go to the store and get more crickets for her when she ran out. She sent me pictures and asked questions when she wasn’t sure how to proceed with her and I was really relieved to know that all of my pets were getting a lot of attention and care. It was very obvious that Jackie really cared about doing a good job of taking care of my pets. She is very detailed with her check-in visits and always takes pictures. she is extremely capable and responsible and I felt very safe giving her my keys and access to my house. I would hire Jackie again in a second and if you are looking for a sign to hire her, this is definitely it! Wish I could give her 100 stars.”

“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.”

About: For the past 23 years, I’ve lived with dogs—from my parents to my siblings dogs. Now that I’m on my own without a dog, I am in need of some puppy loving! You can count of on me to give your pup all the love!!! I am currently in dental school, so I am able to walk dogs in the morning, lunch time, or in the afternoon. My school schedule can be flexible so other times may be available! I am happy to do anything that will make your dog(s) comfortable while their owners are away! I love going on walks and playing with dogs to help get their energy out.
“I didn't miss my cats as much as usual because I knew they were in great hands with Laine! Laine gave me thorough updates and handled an unexpected pet health emergency with ease!!!!!”
