“Alex was great. My wife and I were happy to hear about how our cats were doing, and enjoyed the consistent pictures that we received. We would love to have Alex watch our cats in the future!”
“Jill went above and beyond to take care of my baby girl Kahleesi. It was my first time using Rover. I am glad I downloaded this app and I am grateful the universe/ luck brought Jill to me and Kahleesi’s life. Jill provided many pictures and videos for each day she visited. Highly recommend Jill to take care of your fur babies!!”
“Looks like Sophia had a wonderful time with Lindsay and Penny 🥰 Lindsay took lots of photos which I absolutely adored seeing and also took the time to actually hang out with my cat, which I wasn’t expecting. I’m very happy with her services!”
“Sarah was absolutely the best with my two kitties!! She went above and beyond with them- and cared for my home like it was her own, too. Both of my cats eat different kinds of food, one day there was extra wet food to discard and she took the extra step to actually take my trash out so there wasn’t a smell when I came home. She was very communicative the whole time and sent the cutest updates on every drop in. Having the peace of mind while I was away with her as my sitter was really irreplaceable. I will definitely be coming back to her for pet care going forward! 😊”
“She is great! Mara has helped me out several times in a pinch and is very communicative and thoughtful. She takes excellent pics and takes the time to hang out with your pets, and get to know them. Kaiya was definitely a fan!”
“I can't recommend Abbie enough! Taking care of five cats with different personalities is a big challenge and she did it so well. Each of my cats were well fed, happy, and stress-free when I got home, which says a lot. She followed all care instructions perfectly, sent regular updates, and even took the time to give each cat the attention they needed. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals.”
“Elizabeth was so good with our cats! Biscuit and Cheddar were very happy the whole time and she was diligent with their litter boxes and giving them treats. She was sending us excellent pictures and notes after every visit. Thanks Elizabeth for watching our guys we hope to book her again!”
“Brenna was fantastic!!! A true animal lover!!! She was very conscientious when caring for my cat, Smokey! I was impressed when she wanted to meet my pet before caring for her and very impressed that she wanted to learn all about my cat, so she could better care for her and she even took notes!!! Very professional. Very flexible. Very loving and kind towards my pet and seems to really understand animals and their peculiarities. My Smokey can get anxious with too much time alone and she shows this by rubbing by her ears, causing redness. This didn't happen when under Brenna's care! I will definitely have her come again to care for Smokey, because she was absolutely awesome!!”
“My cat was sick prior to my trip. Surprise medication administration! Without asking, Hannah went back 2x to try to get my cat to take her pill. My cat was being difficult with the pill and Hannah was on it!! So appreciated!”
“Thanks for the good communication, and for coming last minute! It was great to know that I was able to trust that you would do a good job even though we didn't have a meet and greet. It seemed like the cats were happy and well adjusted :) Thanks Eysabeth!”
“We have two cats with one of which who has a medicine she gets every 12 hours, so we needed someone to come at the beginning and end of the day while we were away. It was our first time getting a rover and are so glad we had Jennifer to come check in on our two cats twice a day. I appreciated so much getting a picture every visit and knew they were in good hands and taken care of!!”
About: I may be new to professional pet care, but I have meaningful hands-on experience with animals. At home, I care for two cats, one of whom requires daily medication, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and consistency. I’ve also done dog walking and dog sitting for a variety of breeds, so I understand how important exercise, routine, and comfort are for pets to feel their best. As an animal lover and devoted caregiver, I’m committed to treating every pet with the same love and reliability I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I make time for animals every day. I work an 8–4 job during the week, which leaves me available in the evenings, early mornings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. Since I already care for my own pets daily, I’m used to balancing responsibilities and providing consistent, reliable care. Spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my day, and I love fitting it into my routine. In my home and my clients’ homes, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that matches each pet’s routine. For cats, that means keeping litter boxes clean, providing fresh food and water, giving medication if needed, and spending time with them in a way that matches their personality—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet company. For dogs, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, regular meals, and lots of attention, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just relaxing together. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel secure, cared for, and loved while you’re away.
“It was wonderful having Samantha take care of my cat for a week while we were away. He was happy and content and the house looked great. I will definitely call Samantha again!”
“We couldn’t have been happier with the tender loving care of Thor. He was thoughtful and communicative and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely use him again”
“Katie was great, she came through on a somewhat last minute request when my prior sitter was no longer available, and made it work! I came home to a pretty mellow kitty and had the ease of knowing she was getting some love while I was away. No complaints!!”
“Penny was my favorite sitter so far. She was great at communicating before, during, and after the trip. She left my house almost better than it was before I left. But most importantly, she bonded with my cats. I felt completely at ease while away because I could tell by her messages and photos that she genuinely liked my cats. Bonus... She also has a sense of humor. I will definitely be booking with Penny again.”
“I would highly recommend Amy as a pet sitter. She responded quickly to my request for a sitter. Amy was punctual, pleasant and enthusiastic. She took care of our cat for four days, and I felt comfortable being away, knowing our furry friend was in good hands. Amy sent pictures daily.”
