“Phoebe is always a great drop-in sitter for my cat! She is very attentive to her needs and my kitty, who can be shy, has warmed right up to her. Would definitely recommend Phoebe to any other cat parents looking for drop-in care.”
“I chose Aimee based on her reviews: I was nervous about leaving my three senior cats (one is special needs) for a few days and told Aimee. She helped relieve my anxiety by sending me her detailed notes and photos from each visit. I am so pleased with Aimee’s excellent care of my cats.”
“Maria did a wonderful job caring for my cat while I was away! She is such a kind and calming presence, which I know put my cat at ease without me there. Updates were frequent and very detailed, giving me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend booking with Maria and I for sure will be again!”
“Colleen and Sean have been watching our puppy chief since he was only 7 weeks old! They have provided puppy drop-ins each week while my husband and I are at work and we know that he is under the absolute best care! Colleen and Sean are reliable, wonderful, caring people that have treated Chief (and our home) like their own. They are great communicators and send us several photos each day, and always keep us up to date on chief’s “personality” that day lol. They have helped reinforce his training and even taught him how to “shake” in only a couple of weeks! We highly recommend using Colleen and Sean for all of your doggy needs. We couldn’t ask for a more trustworthy sitter for our little fur baby and are so lucky to have them!”
“Brittany was great and Kramer loved her!! She was also so helpful with Kramer’s special instructions (since she was just spayed)! We will definitely use Brittany again!”
“Simone did a great job with my dog Lily and my two kittens!! She took lots of photos and videos, my pets looked very happy! She also had some great notes and I will definitely be reaching out to her again for care!”
“Aislyn was wonderful with our puppy Scout. She was super responsive, on-time, and provided great pictures and write-ups of our visit. That was especially important to us as Scout is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving her home alone for the first time. Scout always looked so happy in the pictures and when we came home from work!”
“Taylor did a great job of dropping in on our Tucci, feeding her, supplying water, playing with her, and giving her a short walk. It eased her separation anxiety considerably and she was in good shape when we returned.”
About: I have taken classes in dog behaviors and how they act when they might need a particular action done. I have a NAPPS certification, which is National Association of Professional Pet Sitters that is earned for all small animals, both including dogs and cats. I have had my own very young puppy, so I know how to handle and train them in a gentle manner that they will respond to. I have tons of experience in senior dogs and cats, so I am patient to more slow animals or paying attention to them more and making sure they have what they need. I have an extremely open schedule and can stay over for longer periods of time than most people. I am free almost every single day for hours on end, so finding when I can come over is no trouble. I’m easy to schedule if I need to house sit, and am extremely responsible and willing to stay overnight when needed. I love taking care of animals in their own homes, knowing they’ll feel the most comfortable surrounded by their familiar surroundings. The only thing I care about is that your furry companions are safe and cared for in a way that they don’t feel out of place or missing the love they got before you left them in my care.
“Lexy and Robert were super awesome caring for my sweet baby Nova. They were very responsive and always made me feel like she was in good hands. My go-to in Clarendon!”
“Diana was a fabulous cat sitter for us! She took excellent care of our kitties for a long vacation we were on and it was so nice to know we had a caring and reliable person to look after them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants their pets to be well cared for while they are away!”
“Maggie is so kind and wonderful with my two cats. She’s so thoughtful and detail oriented and I really appreciated her help while we were away. Maggie is a great rover!”
“Daniel did great with our shy and cautious dog. He warmed up to him surprisingly quick, which we took as a great sign. Daniel left the home clean and did everything as instructed. His daily drop-in notes were informative and thorough. We would definitely book him again in the future.”
“This was our first time having Isabelle and her dad care for our two cats, and they are delightful caregivers. They were caring, responsive, and the cats clearly loved the visits!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 11 years now. I’ve owned 3 dogs and have loved every moment with them. Additionally, I did pet sit one of my friend’s dogs for 3 days. Some stuff I would do with my pets include: Meal prepping homemade food so I could feed breakfast and dinner, giving baths, going on walks around my neighborhood, and lastly having fun with them with toys. UPDATE: IM BACK HOME AND AVAILABLE FULL TIME …….ignore this part : Im currently in College and also a student athlete playing soccer. I am available basically every day. I do have practices and classes so if I am available I will accept! Hopefully my schedule will fit into any of yours! I would love to take care of your pet at your home and make sure he is entertained and well fed. I could also take to any park if you need.
“Katie is so wonderful! She has such a great way with dogs and is so sweet with Rosie. Rosie loves her and can’t wait to see her next! She is super responsive, flexible and reliable - can’t recommend her enough. We are lucky to have found her!!”

Leeway pet parents share their Rover experiences
We have enlisted Mikaela's help multiple times now and it is an immense comfort knowing that she's taking care of the homefront while we're away. Being able to keep the crew at home, in an environment they know, with a caretaker who's warm and exudes calm energy, is awesome.
Maria was such a wonderful sitter for our cat while we were gone. She put me at ease, was super organized and routine with her visits, provided ample pictures and notes, and was a genuinely lovely person who I felt I could trust immediately. My cat was so comfortable with her. I will certainly use her again!
John was amazing and took great care of Chico during his unexpected final weekend. John communicated well and went above and beyond to ensure Chico was comfortable until I returned. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a compassionate animal caregiver!
