“Shelby was a fantastic sitter, and I really appreciated how sweet and responsible she was with my fur babies. She sent lots of pictures, which I always find reassuring, and she made sure my cats were well loved and cared for. I would definitely hire her again.”
“My cat Smudge can be a bit picky but Jordan seemed to break his tough guy attitude. She took great care of Smudge and I really appreciated her playing with him and taking pictures. He was a happy cat!”
“Janyse checked in on our five(!) cats while we were on a 10-day vacation, and I couldn't have been more pleased that I chose her! From her first introductory visit, where our cats immediately loved her, I knew this would be a great fit. What's special about Janyse is that she doesn't seem to do this for money or as a job, but because she truly enjoys the animals she works with. She always seemed delighted to have spent time with them! She was diligent and took great care of the cats, but this joy in doing her job is what really sets her apart. Plus, her daily reports were so much fun! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Janyse to anyone.”
“Matthew was great checking in on our pups and providing us with some peace of mind while we had to head into the city. During the meet and greet, Matthew was so polite and asked very thoughtful questions about the hopes/expectations for our drop-in visits. We came to home to happy dogs and wouldn’t hesitate to request him for future services. Thank you Matthew.”
“Leaving a pet at home when we go on a trip has always been stressful for us. This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we did. Kim did an amazing job looking after our cat while we were away. She was punctual, which we were grateful for, so as to keep our kitty's routine as normal as possible. We received daily pictures, as well as texts, on how each visit went. She was quick to respond to all of my text messages and just gave us such peace of mind knowing things were being done just as we would do them while were gone. We will absolutely be contacting Kim in the future for all of our pet sitting needs. Couldn't be happier!”
About: I love all animals! I have previously owned and trained a Belgian Malinois rescue and a lab/pit rescue. Both wonderful dogs. I am a navy vet, dog owner and dog lover. I use positive reinforcement training methods, and I know how to read the body languages of animals. I am respectful, neat, and I'll make sure you pet is well taken care of! I offer dog sitting, and occasional boarding services. You can rest easy with the knowledge that if you hire me, they will be my number one priority. I will communicate at least once a day, and more if requested. I live in an apartment and WFH full time, so I'll be able to provide ample attention to your dog! Not that they might need it because my puppy Orion will be begging them to play nonstop! I monitor play time continuously to make sure they get along well. Sometimes if a client's dog DOESN'T want to play I make sure Orion leaves them alone. He'll just be whining on the couch. No matter the size of your dog, I'll make sure they are safe and comfortable. Orion has had experience playing with 100lb German shepherds and snauzers to mini pinchers. He loves all dogs that will play with him.
“Thank you so much Natasha for a last minute drop in. I know he is in good hands when you visit. Your instincts with him are always spot on! Thanks again for another great visit.”
“Katija was great with visits with my cat! She checked-in after every visit with pictures and made sure to ask questions to ensure my cat was being adequately cared for.”
“This was our first Rover caregiving experience for my senior, shy cat Coal, who has medical needs, since moving out of our tiny apartment (where Coal had few places to hide). Elizabeth successfully discovered his new hiding places, encouraged him out, and gave him his medication on schedule. She also followed all other feeding/treating instructions. It couldn’t have been easy job, given his reluctance to strangers, and she completed it and sent some hilarious photos of Coal in hiding.”
“had a fantastic experience with her who took care of my dogs while I was away. From the start, she were incredibly communicative sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave me complete peace of mind. My dogs clearly felt comfortable 💗 I highly recommend her”
“Went above and beyond! So very thankful for Lisa’s help with my animals. I had a cat and rabbit and she took excellent care of both, even cleaned their cage areas and gave them lots of love and pictures!”
“Alexandra was outstanding. She was communicative, proactive and thoughtful, and sent great photos that conveyed a security to me which put my mind at ease while I was away from my little ones. She deserves more than the available five stars. Would recommend and will definitely call her again.”
“Troy was graciously available short notice. He lovingly cared for our senior kitty and even went out of his way to keep our neglected plants alive. Troy was easy to work with, trusting, professional, and kept us updated. Having him care for our cat allowed us to relax and focus on our vacation. We will absolutely be rebooking with Troy if he’s available next time we leave town.”
About: I've taken care of our dogs growing up and both dogs and cats for friends, family, and strangers. Everyone has been happy with my care. I have a full time job currently but I will still be available to help watch your pets with good notice. I will be updating my calendar as I receive my schedule. My job sends out a schedule for 2 weeks at a time. With plenty of notice and details for care I'll make sure they stay happy while you are gone. I can only take care of pets in the owner's home as I live in a place that doesn't allow pets. I usually ask for owners to leave a list of details for care for their pets. If pets are nervous I prefer to stop by and meet them when their owners are home a day or so in advance so I'm not a complete stranger. But if that isn't an option I'm ok working with your pets so they are comfortable when I get there.
About: Growing up, my family always had dogs and cats, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My responsibilities include feeding, walking, playing with, and loving pets from a young age. I currently have a 14-year-old Catahoula who I raised and trained from 8 weeks old, giving me experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your pet like family! I have a flexible schedule and am available during the day Monday through Friday. After spending 10 years as a medical assistant, I made the switch to full time mom with my two wonderful kids. It is easy for me to drop in for visits, go on walks, or just spend quality time with your pet. I love getting outside for walks and spending time with animals throughout the day. While I’m not currently offering care in my own home, I’m very comfortable providing care in the client’s home and will always follow their preferences and routines. I’m adaptable and happy to stick to your pet’s schedule—whether that’s walks, playtime, feedings, or medications—to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

This is the second time we had Jessica drop in on our two cats while we were out of town - like last time, we had her come every other day for a period of 3 weeks, so several visits in total. Each time she took care of the cats needs (food, water, litter), but most importantly, she spent time with them - playing with them, sending some pictures of them - all important activities to keep them enriched while we are gone. We have had previous sitters who just took care of the basics and were gone in 20 minutes, but Jessica spends another 10 or more minutes just engaging with them - which is so important to us. I cannot recommend her more highly - she is the best!
Katija took great care of our two cats while we were gone for two weeks. She became good friends with our shy kitty. She fed watered and cleaned litter faithfully every day and spent time petting and giving treats. She also sent pictures and updates everyday which we appreciated. We feel lucky to have had her. She was awesome
