“Andie did great with our skiddish kitty cats over the holiday weekend. She made sure she saw them, tried to get them to warm up to her, and listened to instructions well in regard to feeding them / cleaning up their area. She was also delightful during our meet and greet and exhibited her vast knowledge by chatting about her history of cat care. Overall, we are pleased with Andie and highly recommend her for your feline family members! 😸😸”
“Stacey took such great care of my 15-year-old kitty! She was super flexible and stepped in last minute, which I really appreciated. She kept me updated with sweet photos and stayed in touch the whole time.”
“Showed up on time. Cats were very happy! Will request Nevaeh again.”
“Heather came to the rescue on short notice (literally within a few hours) when my other sitter canceled. She sent lots of pictures and made sure my boy was cared for. Definitely recommend!”
“I am extremely happy with the way Megan took care of my cat Reese while I was away. She wrote detailed messages daily and shared photos of them spending time together. I can tell Reese absolutely loved being with her! As a result, I was able to enjoy a stress free vacation knowing he was in such kind and capable hands. Megan will definitely be my choice for a pet sitter again!”
“First time Rover user (Willowlake Subdivision) and selected Kaci to check in on our kitties while away. She was extremely responsive, friendly and helpful. We met before leaving town so she could see how to get in, meet the kitties, etc. She was very professional, kind and loving. It was easy to message with her while gone and we loved the pictures she sent from her visits to check on the pets. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting / check-ins and plan on using her again, next time I go out of town. What a relief to know someone so caring and responsible was here to take care of our little ones. Thank you so much, Kaci!”
“Great Communication, was quick in responding to our request & meeting us & our pets. She sent updates & pictures everyday. would definitely hire again.”
“Lauren did a great job! I was ease with her watching my cat because she left just nice updates about her visit. Photos and all! Will absolutely be using Lauren again for all future drop ins :)”
About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes ranging from weens to rotties. I have experience training puppies up to 2-ish years on basic commands, crate training, and socialization. I dont mind spending time walking around the block, throwing the ball for extended periods of time, or lying next to them for a period of time so that they feel loved, heard, and cared for. I do not groom. but if doggo needs a bath or brushing, I can give them a bath and brush. Our family is a poodle family, so I know the importance of keeping up with brushing. I also have cat experience. Almost 10 years ago, the Cat Distribution System of the Universe granted me Tigger, my Maine Coon. Though her, I learned how much cats genuinely better our lives. I love all furbabies and will make sure that they are well cared for when you are away. I am a teacher by day and a pet sitter by night. I am available between the hours of 4pm and 7am, with fairly open availability on weekends and holidays. I can house sit during the week while I work in the school, coming back on my lunch and planning period to spend time with your fur baby, if you are comfortable with that, also pending distance from the school. Feel free to reach out. Since I live in an apartment, I am unable to take your baby to my home. Rest assured, I will make sure that your pooch is walked (pooped and peed), loved, fed, watered, medicated (if required/needed), and safe. My priority is your baby. I treat all furbabies like they were my own, so that means they come first on my visit.
“Aubrey was really great to my senior kitty. Everyday she made sure he took meds. Also she was on time. I really appreciate everything she did for me!”
About: I've taken care of pets ever since I could remember. I started off watching neighbor pets and family friends pets. Then they would recommend me and I started watching other people's pets! I have had experience working at animal clinics in the boarding department for several years. I was even a vet tech for a little over a year. I have years of experience with all kinds of pets and all kinds of temperaments. I have many references if needed! I love all animals and would love to meet your babies!🥰 Right now I work 12 hour shifts on Monday’s and Tuesday’s. Wednesday’s I work a regular 8 hour day. I have Thursday through Sunday off every week unless I pick up a shift so I am very available most of the week. I am hoping I get enough clients on here that I can keep those 4 days off and dedicate it to this job and my love of animals. I live in an apartment for a few more weeks but it does have a fenced in little dog park! If I am just walking or dropping in on your baby I can do whatever you need me to!
“Sunnie was great! She provided detailed updates and lots of pictures. My cat was well taken care of!”
“Capri is the best! This was my second time booking with her. She is very thorough and communicative and I know my cat is in great hands with her. Would highly recommend!”
“We brought our 4 month old Sharpei with us on vacation and wanted to spend the day at an amusement park with our human kids. We couldn’t leave him alone all day, but luckily we found Andrea on Rover.”
“Cora was the perfect find! Our two dogs took to her right away as they could sense her genuine kindness. Our younger dog’s energy and enthusiasm were not seen as a negative. She was on time for every visit and gave great updates putting our minds at ease. We highly recommend her.”
“Great as always!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds for over 15 years! Ranging from house pets to farm stock. I keep a disciplined schedule and I’m very experience with administering pet meds. I’m here to step in and love on and take care of your little furry family member in your absence. I’m full time employed during the Week but my weekends are completely open. If week care is needed then my work schedule is 8:30-4:30pm so the pets would need to be okay with being left alone for 8hours I have a spacious back yard away from the road for safe place and a sidewalk neighborhood for walking. My home is pet friendly and I have a large bed if pets like to snuggle up at bedtime!
“Sarah is a really grounded-feeling person. You just know she's a woman of her word. She spent more time petting the cat than talking to me during the meet-and-greet, which was totally appropriate. I trusted her right away and the pictures she sent were great - Miles looked like his normal self. I will definitely ask her again when I need someone to look after my boy!”
“Julie was fabulous. She dropped in to check on my kitty. Made sure she was good and fed. She also sent me pic. She even brought in our front door deliveries. Definitely recommend Julie.”
About: I’m patient and loving with animals of all ages. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life and have experience with potty training. I’m currently an online college student that can set my own hours and have plenty of time to devote to caring for pets every day. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of grass and an 11 year old dog and two older cats who are all friendly.

Chelsea D.Star Sitter
“We have hired Chelsea for multiple extended stay visits for our 2 dogs for over 3 weeks at a time while we are away on holiday overseas for years now. She is responsible and makes sure that our dogs are well cared for. She is great with them. She helped train our puppy. They love to see her every time she comes over. She also makes sure they are brushed out. We don’t get that level of happiness when we walk through that door from them. They love her. She is our go to sitter and walker.”
