About: I have taken care of animals for nearly 10 years and have experience with all kinds of dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I am a pet owner myself, so I know how important it is to feel that your loved one is in good hands. I am always sure to follow directions closely, and do everything I can to ensure the animals have a safe and enjoyable experience. I'm currently a graduate student and have a pretty flexible schedule. For the summer, I am generally available any morning and evening during the weekday + any time on the weekend. I follow the care instructions, take note of the living area, monitor the animal for any signs of stress or illness, and provide them the attention they need, whether that be playing, petting, or spending quiet time with them.
About: I grew up in a pet friendly family, including multiple dogs and cats. I have always had high expectations of pet sitters I hire and would live up to those expectations caring for others pets as well. I have two years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, friends of family, as well as with giving medication to pets (and I an a quick learner to any additional instructions). My goal is to ensure that I care for and treat your pet/family member in the same manner or better than you would yourself! I typically have pretty open and flexible availability. This includes mornings, midday, and evenings if/when possible or needed. My availability starts at 8:30 AM and ends at 10:00 PM. I’m going to respect your pets needs and the way in which you ask for your pet to be cared for. I’m mindful of the fact that every pet has their own personality and their owners do too! Maintaining your pets safety and making sure they feel as comfortable as possible in your absence is a top priority.
“Irene was great with dropping in on my two cats while I was away on a long work trip. Both my cats are unique, and she understood immediately how to work with their different temperaments. Also, she was able to communicate well with me throughout the 10-days. When I was having issues with the Rover app, she was understanding and helpful and we quickly figured out any issues. I’d recommend Irene and work with her again. Thanks!”
“Michelle is so reliable and we know Oscar and Lilly are taken care of. The updates and photos keep us informed and allow us to enjoy being away. Pets are barely excited to see is return!!”
“Jana did an awesome job watching my guinea pigs again! Her updates are so detailed and I can tell she really pays attention to each of my pets individually and knows their varying personalities. I do not have to worry about them while I’m gone when she’s taking care of them!”
“Sydney was amazing. Extremely communicative, helped me out a ton in a bind, exceptionally friendly. My cats are disabled and she was professional and courteous when handling their special needs. Could not of asked for a better sitter. Will be booking again. Thank you so much”
“Hannah is so accommodating and kind. My puppy loved her company. She took her for a nice long walk, gave her some water/food and even cleaned up a little bit of the mess the puppy had made on the floor. 100% recommended!”
“Christa was great taking care of our two cats with drop-in visits. She was great at making sure she understood their routine (fairly simple but every house is different) asking questions to clarify. She kept in touch throughout a long period of being out of town, giving the social cat playtime and keeping the peace with the anti-social one.”
“This is our 2nd time having Dave watch our two cats. He is very communicative and sends lots of pictures of our fur babies. One of our cats loves when he visits since that means he is going to get some treats and pets. Plus, he has even managed to have our skittish little girl show herself (a rare occurrence with strangers). Thanks Dave!”
“Bex was such a great first experience using Rover. She kept us connected with photos and messages letting us know how each check in went. She made our first time away from our animals super positive and will definitely use her again! Thanks Bex!”
“Jamie was very reliable and took great care of our cat while we were away. She spent extra time cuddling and playing and always sent pictures. We will absolutely hire her help again!”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing! She took care of my cat during my almost two weeks of travel, kept her well fed and happy & she also sent me regular updates! Will absolutely book again ❤️❤️”
“What would I do without Katrina! She has been a huge help with my high energy puppy! It's a massive relief to have someone trustworthy and dependable for the times when I'm not able to get the play breaks in that Daisy needs. Daisy loves Katrina and is always a happy pup after the visits!”
About: My family has had dogs my whole life, and I have loved them just as long. I have experience with puppies, elderly dogs, and everything in between. Size and breed is not a factor when it comes to animals I won’t work with; so long as the dog has a good attitude, I will, too. If you have any questions or special requests, don’t be shy about asking! I want this to be a good experience for you and the furry friend in your life. Please reach out, and let’s start a conversation! I have a flexible lunch hour that I love to fill with a good walk, and open weekends for more involved care! My work hours aren’t standard, so care doesn’t need to be either! I do not have an apartment suitable for caring for your animal(s) in my home, but have experience providing care in clients homes, both overnight and scheduled daily visits.
About: My family and I grew up on a farm and I helped watch and agility train my grandmas 6 Welch springer show dogs. At home I have 4 dogs (2 huskies, a German Shepard, and Weimaraner), and 3 kitties ( all rescues and different levels of shyness), so I have experience with lots of types of animals. I also used to care for a snake and bearded dragon! I am currently a full time student but my classes are very spread out, so the longest I am gone for a time is usually 2-3 hours. Our huskies and Weimaraner require lots of attention and play time, so we either go on 2-3 walks a day or one really long run/walk in the morning, but I am flexible to fit your schedule! I also love playing with my cats and making sure they are stimulated every day, (playing different games, switching toys around, building little forts, etc). I also love the company and cuddling up with whoever wants to!

Miri was AMAZING with my two kitty girls! She went above and beyond - took great care of them. She was very communicative & took so many photos (in which the girls looked SO relaxed - my senior cat even came out for visits which is very unusual, sitters rarely see her)! My only complaint is that I wish I had booked her sooner during my time at PSU - she is a fantastic sitter who has her own cats & really has such a good vibe! Thank you Miri!!!! 🫶🏻🐾
Laura is the absolute best! I have a rescue dog who is very skeptical of new people, and after using Laura a second time, he has really warmed up to her and trusts her which is a HUGE accomplishment. He normally does not take a treat or play fetch with new people, and he did with her! In addition to her ability to understand my dogs needs and his behavior, I appreciate that she communicates and gives updates after each check-in. It makes me feel so comfortable when traveling and not stressed. Thanks again, Laura!
I couldn't get a better sitter for my cat Luffy than Rochelle. She is the best. I highly recommend to everyone looking for a pet sitter to connect with Rochelle. While I was away she took such good care of Luffy. I was relaxed my entire trip. She sent me regular updates and pictures. I'm very sure Luffy loved her company. She also gave Luffy a farewell gift. She will take care of your pets like it's hers.
We had such a great experience with Carla while we were away. This is the second time we’ve booked her. We have three cats, two who are very skittish and one who requires daily medication, and she handled all of their needs with so much care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing she was attentive, reliable, and gentle with them, especially given their different personalities and needs. We came home to three happy, well-cared-for cats. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter.
She did an amazing job with my two boys while taking my students on a middle school trip to Germany. I received daily updates to let me know medication’s were administered and feeding times were followed, and I got some photos! And when I came home, the cats were nice and soft because they were brushed every day! I will definitely be booking again when leaving town.
Irene did a great job watching our two kittens and adult cat while we were on vacation. She was very attentive, thoughtful, and responsive. She made sure our fur babies were taken care of which allowed us to enjoy our time away with no worries. Thank you Irene!
Emerson seriously put my mind at rest while I was travelling with work. My pups had never had a Rover sitter before and Emerson was just grand. She ensured that they ate at their regular times, had their exercise daily, and had a warm human interaction so that they didn't get depressed in my absence. They were in great shape and spirits when I returned and I can't thank Emerson enough! Additionally, she sent notes every day updating me on their activities. So accommodating and kind. Thanks Emerson for being my pets' support human while I was away!!!
