“Morgan was easy to work with for my last-minute request to have someone check in on my dog! I got cute pictures of him on a walk and the house was accident-free when I got home!”
“I had my first experience using Rover, and I'm so glad Taylor was the sitter for our fur babies! She was incredibly helpful, advising me on how to use the platform effectively, and made sure to get all the details about their care. Taylor also helped me think through different scenarios, including what to do in case of any delays on our return. I felt confident leaving my pets in her care, and I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Jessica knows her stuff! She also booked with us last minute which was such a lifesaver during the holidays! Thank you Jessica!! We highly recommend her”
“Super sweet to help out super last minute as we got stuck 10 hours away. Our poor babies had pooped inside and she picked it all up so we wouldn’t come back to a total mess. She was also amazing with our GSD who can be shy/timid. We will definitely use her again!!”
“This is the third time I have used Derek's cat sitting service, and the interaction and drop-in visits were at the same high caliber as the first two. Derek is friendly, professional, prompt in communication and appointments, trustworthy, and has easily bonded with my cat. Arbus and I were glad you were available again!”
“Jennifer was FANTASTIC! Her care was top notch and I felt so secure leaving my kiddos with her. I genuinely think that one of my cats, Toast was disappointed to see us, and not Jennifer. She gave great updates and photos at every visit and we appreciated her so much! I will absolutely contact Jennifer again for care of our kitties.”
“Gabriella was very caring and kind to our puppy. She met with us in advance to make sure she knew all of our dogs needs and she was attentive to her during our time away. Communication was great.”
“Rafaela was amazing with my two cats. They are anxious (like me) and they were comfortable with her immediately (rolled on their backs for belly rubs) which made me comfortable. She sent great photos and updates, communicated thoroughly, and I felt confident that the cats were well taken care of. When we met to exchange keys, she asked thorough questions and made sure she was prepared with all instructions. Rafaela is really kind, has a gentle energy with pets, and definitely understands how much humans cherish their animal companions. If I need a petsitter in the future, I'm definitely contacting her again. Highly recommend!”
“Keesha was a great sitter! She was took amazing care of our 12 year old Maine Coon. The daily drop ins for food, water and treats was just what our grumpy old man needed during our quick weekend away. Daily updates/photos put our minds at ease knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend Keesha to care for your fur baby! We 100% will be using her again soon!”
About: **Cats-only boarding + Dog walking + Drop-ins** Adopted my fur baby nearly 2 years ago and have been in charge of pet sitting for my friends, since! I know the stress of leaving my pet in others’ care too well, so be prepared for daily proof-of-life pics from me 🤗 I’m also a type a med student, so you best bet my place is cat-proofed and i quadruple check anything that will come in contact with the pets ‼️ Pets will receive personalized attention based on need, but I will have my own cat here as well!! She’s very social and sweet, so she enjoys company. I have a room for your baby to acclimate slowly if need be :) My apartment has a pet elevator and areas to walk dogs, as well. I have a pretty flexible schedule this year, so I will be available at home for most of the weekend and weekday afternoons-evenings. I might skip breakfast if I wake up late, but keeping pet food out is non-negotiable ‼️ I clean litter boxes, groom, brush teeth daily. No cat-toxic plants in environment and all cabinets with household supplies are pet-proofed. Have a cat tree, cat tunnels, and plenty of places for cats to perch and scratch. I use Feliway Multicat calming diffusers to ease introduction between cats. I have experience giving my cat oral medications, training her to use an inhaler as well. My place is kept clean with a cleaning robot and weekly deep cleans.
“Claudia was wonderful! She kept me posted daily with pictures of my cat. She went the extra mile and swept the floors where Mickey kicked his litter around, which he loves to do. Thanks for taking good care of my kitty! He was happy as a clam when I returned.”
“Taryn did a great job taking care of my two cats! She sent lots of cute pictures and made me feel so much better about being away from them. Definitely recommend, I will be hiring her again!!”
“Kadyn was amazing, she had very detailed reports and lots of photos. I can tell that my pup enjoyed her visits. I will hire her again if I need more pet sitting.”
“Jackson’s level of care and attentiveness is top tier. Communications throughout remained as prompt, detailed, and reassuring as anyone could hope for! Will be rebooking in the future for sure.”
“Nisa did a great job with all 3 dogs. She came over and met the dogs and answered all of our questions before the first drop in. She sent plenty of pictures and notes to let us how the dogs where doing. We will use her again! Thanks Nisa.”
“We booked Erika for drop in visits while we were out of town for 10 days and could not have been more pleased. She stayed in touch by sending messages and pictures and I was able to enjoy our trip more knowing she was there taking care of things. She went above and beyond by getting our very shy dog Sherpa to become her friend. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting peace of mind while they are away.”
“Regan is amazing. Very kind and responsive. Helped me right when I moved into town and had a wedding to go to. Highly recommend if you need help with your pet!”
“Evan was awesome with our two dogs! He sent sweet photos of them playing and gave me updates on when he stopped in. I felt at ease knowing my doggies were in caring hands. Thank you, Evan!”
“Kellie was great! She was communicative and prompt. We had a slight hiccup as she got sick halfway through the week but we were able to work together to come up with a solution that worked.”
Lykins pet parents share their Rover experiences
Noelle was amazing with Poppy!! She was so gentle and patient with her shy personality which made Poppy gain trust and love so quickly! I can tell she felt so safe with her. Noelle was awesome at communicating with me throughout her time caring for Poppy. She sent picture updates for fun too! I couldn’t recommend her more. I know Poppy will be so excited to see her in the future!
Jennifer is an absolute sweetheart and Louie loves having her as a sitter. He even goes to his kennel all by himself while I'm getting ready for work. She checks in regularly and gives me photo updates. The most important thing is that she gives him the care and attention I'm not able to give him while I'm at work. I book with her every week because I'm so happy with the way she takes care of my baby boy.
We had an excellent experience with Kara! From beginning to end, communication was prompt and meticulous. While we were away, she kept us completely at ease by sending lots of photos and detailed updates after each in-home visit. We especially appreciated how thorough she was in describing how each of our cats was doing—their moods, eating habits, playtime, and any little personality quirks that came up. She took the time to get to know our animals individually and cared about their comfort and routine. We would absolutely book with Kara again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and communicative pet sitter!
This was the first time I have had Claudia watch my two cats, and it won’t be the last! She is wonderful, paying attention to detail and had great communication. She was patient and loving to one of my cats who can be difficult. She was always on time and made sure to reach out with any questions. I’d highly recommend Claudia for any of your fur babies needs!
Taylor was so awesome. My hubs and I came to KC for a wedding and just needed a sitter for a few hours each day while we attended the wedding activities. Taylor was able to stay with Murphy on short notice. She took him to a park and played ball with him for a hour. We are so grateful to her. It’s hard to stay with an active dog in a hotel and Taylor just made it so easy for us and made our sweet boy a happy dog. 10 outta 10. Highly recommend Taylor for taking care of your fur babies. 🥰
Samantha was amazing!!! Something came up so I had to book a very last minute request and she responded right away. My cat seemed to love her and she left the best, detailed comments with the cutest pictures! It really put my mind at ease knowing he was in good hands! I highly recommend😊
I was very nervous to leave my animals with someone for the first time and Jaden completely dissipated those fears! She was willing to come meet them beforehand and was super communicative! She was kind enough to help my dog with some unexpected heath needs that required passing meds and spent time with all the animals to make sure they were doing okay. I would definitely use her services again and refer her to anyone!!
Brianna was great, she came over last minute when we were in a pinch and hung out with the dogs. We asked for a quick potty break and she stayed around longer so they can have more time out in the yard, which is very nice of her to do. Would recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter!
