Pam and Kat were absolutely wonderful on our week+ vacation. They cared for our fur babies and alerted us to issues with our house- they even got our mail! We’ll definitely rely on them again. Thank you, ladies!

I had a weird situation in which the person caring for my animals abandoned them. Michelle was amazing and accommodating, went to my home after maintenence unlocked my place, cleaned up the mess my stressed out old man kitty made in a tub because he was alone for 4 days. Took care of him and the other 3 at the last minute for a week so I didn't have to leave my job (loose my job) and fly home. I was the most stressed out I'd been in years! But seeing the pics she took of my babies eating fresh wet food and playing every day helped me so much. 10000% recommend her and appreciate her and Rover for being here!! This is great app. Being able to see them check in and out, they can post photos and communicate like texting. Really great and will use again instead of depending on family!!

This is for the stop in visits. Allison was wonderful with our very timid dog Lola. She showed up on time, fed her, and patiently let Lola get to know her. We received photos, and several updates on things. Allison was great with her!

About: Even though I'm fairly new to dog care, I approach every dog with patience, attentiveness, and a strong willingness to learn and very detail oriented. I structure my daily routine around cat pet care, so it's never an afterthought. I start my mornings with feeding, refreshing water, which fits naturally into my day. Midday, I schedule check-ins for playtime or litter box cleaning. In the evenings, I dedicate time for feeding and quality interaction. I care for pets in my clients' homes by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation. I respect the clients home by keeping everything clean and secure, and I provide regular updates so owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe and well cared for.

Anna is a fantastic and reliable house sitter and pet drop in sitter. She is always on time and gives my pets their meds and potty breaks with play time. She took excellent care of my home and pets for a week, and does drop in visits for me as well. My pets all love her so much - even my extremely shy Siamese comes out to play when she comes over.

About: I just love animals just like everyone else and am looking to help out. I’ve cared for animals the majority of my life as my parents had that responsibility put on me, I’ve house sit animals plenty times before. I’m available pretty much always, I’m taking the summer to rest as I am a very busy college student but I need something to keep me busy. I don’t have the most optimal space to care for a pet at my place but at your place I am very flexible and willing to accommodate as needed.

About: Give your pets the compassionate care they deserve when you're away! My 15 years of hands-on pet-sitting experience, combined with over a decade of personal pet ownership, means your furry family members will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a special affinity for senior pets, understanding their unique routines and comforts, thanks to my experience with my older cat. Let me provide the peace of mind you need, knowing your pets are happy, safe, and loved in my care. Currently going to school so I have plenty of time to check on your furr babies throughout the day. I am free early in the morning and evening. Rest assured, your cats and dogs will be in experienced and playful hands! My own two sweet indoor cats thrive with plenty of toys and two large scratchers, so I understand the importance of keeping indoor felines happy and entertained. I absolutely adore playing with my own cats and dogs, and I'll bring that same genuine love and active engagement to your pets, making sure they feel secure and well-cared for in their own environment.

About: I’m not as experienced in caring for dogs. However, I am flexible and willing to learn and help out wherever I am needed. I am more comfortable with small dogs for now. I’m a substitute teacher during the school year, so while school is out, I have plenty of time to drop in to give your pets companionship and care. In my own home I do my best to always make sure my cat has several sources of water and a clean litter box and plenty of ways to entertain herself while I’m away. While caring for others’ pets I make sure to follow instructions closely and follow established routines.

About: Hi there! I’m Kris, a passionate animal lover with 30 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, belly rubs, or cozy naps on the couch, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. While I am new to the Rover app. I am not new to giving you peace of mind that your pet (of any size breed, fur or scales) will be taken care of. I work in the medical field so am comfortable with any special needs or medications should the need arise. I am also a certified (not officially) belly and head scratcher of all animals and am more than capable of playing fetch at great lengths. I will make sure to communicate with you on how your pet is doing, and am happy to provide pictures if requested. I currently work full time two days a week in the medical field. This allows for ample time off to walk, play, or drop in to check on your four legged friends. My schedule is flexible and I don’t mind holidays as long as I am in town. I currently live in an apartment so dog sitting in my home is extremely limited at this time. I am more than happy to schedule a meet and great to get to know you and your loved ones needs and style. I am also happy to take your dog out on walks, have playtime, and any needed cuddle time to help you feel better when you’re away.

My little kitty loved Kellie, which is a win! Kellie was great. She watched my cat for two weeks and made sure her water and food were filled. She also made sure the litter was cleaned every other day, which is more than what I usually do. She also watered my plants and took the trash out for me! My little fur baby definitely got some loving while I was away.
