“Hilary does an amazing job with my dog Kodak. She is very reliable and easy to work with. It’s so nice to be able to go out of town and not have to worry at all about leaving my dog at home. I recommend her to anyone needing their pets looked after!”
“Olivia is a great choice if you’re looking for someone to look after your pet while you’re out of town. She’s reliable, prompt and a great communicator. She’s also has a lot of patience. My cat is very reluctant to interact with anyone that’s not me, but she managed to get a picture of him on most days so I knew he was ok, if not a little weird. Back to the purpose of this, Olivia is great at what she does!”
“Jamie was wonderful. We have a cat that needs a pill. She got her to eat it with her food without having to physically pill her. We got photos and updates in the app. We definitely will have Jamie take care of our cat again”
“Ella is always so kind and understanding with our very particular, stubborn, and complicated cat. Always ready to pivot if needed. Leaving town is great, but leaving our cat is always worrisome with her medical challenges. However, Ella is always the perfect sitter that makes us feel at ease enough to take off of needed!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly love caring for animals of all kinds. Although I currently live in a small apartment and can’t have pets of my own right now, pet sitting gives me the chance to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy. I regularly dog sit for a married couple whenever they travel out of town, and I also cat sit for a woman who lives in an apartment. I have experience feeding, watering, walking, playing with pets, giving medications, and making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and attention or a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to provide loving care you can trust. I’m a teacher, which means I have the entire summer off and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule for drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, and pet sitting. Once the school year begins again, I’d still love to continue working with returning clients and their pets in the evenings, on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I truly enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their owners. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I’m attentive, dependable, and make sure every pet feels secure, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any special care requests to keep your pet happy and stress-free. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a calm presence, I’m patient and happy to adapt to their individual personality and needs. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“I am glad to know Charlie will be in good hands when I need to leave!! Are you guys available on short notice too if decide to leave for a day or weekend?? Also you guys did not have to clean my drive and walk!! That was so kind of you!!”
“Chelsea did a wonderful job. She was very timely and quick to reply, and helped us on a very short notice. She communicated well and followed all instructions we asked. Izzy seemed to be really happy and we will definitely use Chelsea again if we need Izzy taken care of while we are gone!”
“Kayla was wonderful!! Our cat was very happy to be able to stay at home and have Kayla come visit daily. I can tell from the pictures, that Carmen loved Kayla. We will definitely be using Kayla in the future”
About: Most people babysit growing up, I was the local petsitter instead. Now I’m the go-to petsitter for my friends and colleagues, looking to help others! I have experience petsitting both cats and dogs! My main summer job is research, so the hours I’m available are very flexible. I make my own schedule so I can make myself available for most times! I’ve cared for lots of pets of varying age and need ranges, so I am equipped to do whatever is needed for pets to thrive while their owners are away. I am used to taking dogs on long walks or snuggling under a blanket, and I have two very particular cats of my own so I know how to get kitties eating, playing, and comfortable!
“Kristin came by for an hour to meet us and the fur babies and learn our routines ahead of a 1-week vacation. It was going to be our first time away from our new pups and Kristin made us comfortable and it seemed like a good fit right away. Since then she's helped us numerous times and it's always been great. Thanks, Kristin!”
“Syble was great looking after my cat! Even though my cat was conspicuously absent, Syble checked to be sure he had everything he needed. Communication was great. Would have no hesitation to recommend Syble.”
“Amy did such a good job with my cats. They looked well taken care of and always answered when I asked questions or needed reassurance that they were happy. Thanks again for doing such a great job!”
“Ashley and Kyle did an outstanding job caring for our two big dogs. They were always on time as scheduled. I loved seeing all of the pictures and getting the updates. We will definitely book them again and share their information with friends.!”
“Marcy has helped us feel very comfortable about having someone come into our room and help with our dog. She is very thorough with pictures and great feedback. We’ve enjoyed her being apart of our puppy’s enrichment!”

About: As someone who works in the pet care industry and has three dogs of my own, caring for animals is a huge part of my life. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, from high-energy puppies to senior dogs needing extra comfort and attention, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I work full time in the pet care industry, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life! With at least a week’s notice, I’m able to make my schedule flexible to best meet the needs of your pet and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I currently offer care within my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I know how important consistency can be for animals, especially for shy pets, seniors, or pets who may become stressed in new environments. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, personality, and comfort needs to help them feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind during visits.
“For a casual, last minute drop in to look in on Cassie on Mothers Day, Trish was extremely helpful and accomodating. She walked Cassie during her visit, kept notes, and sent a photo. Cassie seemed well pleased.”

Payton watched my cats while I was out of town. She came to meet my cats a couple days before I left town. She did an excellent job taking care of them while I was away. I will definitely have her watch them again sometime and would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.
Emily was amazing! She communicated daily, sent pictures of Frankie and Charlie, and took wonderful care of them while I was away. She fed them, cleaned the litter box, and gave Charlie his medication with no issues. She is kind, friendly, and trustworthy, and because of her I was able to truly relax and enjoy my vacation. I will absolutely use her again and highly recommend her!
Henry was wonderful! I'll be booking with them again, and I feel very safe leaving my cats in their care. They were punctual when we met up for me to show them the ropes, they listened and understood what I was asking for, and they exceeded my expectations of care once I returned! Thanks Henry, looking forward to booking with you again!!
Rachael is outstanding! I’m so happy we found her on Rover. She’s so good with our pets! She always prompt with their meals and sends us pictures daily. We get an update on each one individually so we know how they’re doing while we’re away. Five stars aren’t enough!! 😻
Tami has been taking care of our cats for years and we can't imagine leaving them in the hands of anyone else! One of our cats is 21 years old and is on medications. This trip, Tami came up with another method to administer one of the meds that works much better and we've now adopted that method. In addition to taking care of our cats, Tami is kind enough to also check our mail, water plants, and fill bird feeders and bird bath. Not in her job description but takes the stress away from traveling knowing our cats, and house, are in great hands! Sadly, we lost one of our 3 cats this year and Tami warmed our hearts with a donation in his honor to the Cat House. Tami is a great communicator and always responds to my texts quickly. She is simply the best!
Kelly has taken wonderful care of our cats. She gets both cat’s personalities and takes time to give them both their preferred forms of attention. Kelly also sends delightful updates with every visit, which make us feel better when we have to leave our little beasts.
