“Jen was amazing! We loved getting daily updates and pictures. We could always tell from the photos that our boys were having the time of their lives. Can't wait to have Jen back again!”


“Ann was my favorite cat sitter we’ve gotten from rover thus far. She was incredibly thorough in her reports and I looked forward to all the pictures we got of the cats each day. She was able to give our stubborn cat his medicine each day with no issues and followed instructions to a tee. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”


“Jolie has been super helpful. She loves animals and cares about them. She also respects and meets pet owners' needs. I couldn’t be happier with booking her. She is taking care of my babies, and I will definitely work with her again in the future.”


“I'm a single dog dad and work long days, so Caeli helps me have peace of mind by taking my pups for their midday walk on days when I can't. She does such a great job with them and I know they are in good hands. Appreciate her help!”


“Our first time having Maggie care for our cats went great! After spending a year and a half working hard to integrate our two cat household, this was our first time leaving them alone together for more than a day, and one of our kitties needs daily anxiety medication to keep the peace. We were gone for 5 days and when we came back everyone was happy, healthy and the house looked just as it did when we left it. Will definitely be using Maggie again in the future if our schedules align!”


“Highly recommend Sabrina! She adapted to Chewbacca's needs and even introduced ways to get him to eat that I didn't even think about. Chewy's a stubborn, grumpy old poodle and he opened up to her!! Sabrina was easy to communicate with and sent plenty of updates to keep me in the loop. She went above and beyond with everything and treated Chewy like her own. I'll definitely choose her next time Chewy needs a sitter!”


“Grave was fantastic! She gave detailed updates, sent photos, and made the visits seem fun. I felt totally relaxed with her taking care of my cat, and he loved it! She went above and beyond and took care of everything, including medications for my cat. Very professional, highly recommend.”



“Karly was amazing with my Rosie! Very attentive and caring and always provided photo updates. She is responsible and flexible and i felt so at ease leaving my pup in her care! Highly recommend!”


About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the lifelong experience and genuine love I have for animals. I grew up in a home full of dogs and have always been surrounded by pets, learning early on how to care for them with patience and attention. Today, I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I treat every pet like my own, with kindness, consistency, and a lot of love. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra playtime, I ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very open and flexible schedule, which means I’m available throughout the day to give your pets the attention and care they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or an afternoon check-in, I’m able to provide consistent, dependable care. My background in teaching also means I’m organized, responsible, and great at following routines—qualities that translate well into attentive, loving pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, give walks or playtime, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and any instructions you leave, whether it’s about medications, crate time, or favorite toys. If I were to offer care in my home, pets would have a calm, pet-friendly space and lots of companionship throughout the day. No matter the setting, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you're away.

“Bob took care of my little bundle of joy, Cheeti, a 17 years young cat. I appreciated many things. Bob was punctual which was very important to me since Cheeti requires meds. He also sent multiple updates and pictures. This made a big difference since I could see that my baby was well taken care of and as a result I was able to thoroughly enjoy my time away. Cheeti and I give Bob 5 gigantic shining stars!”


“Emily was prompt with all her visits and easy to communicate with. My cat is a little shy at first but Emily got her to warm up quickly. She provided photos and updates on all the visit cards so I knew everything was okay.”


About: Been a cat lover forever, pet sat my way through college. I'll do drop in visits, play with, and clean up after your pets, always happy to meet new fur babies. I'm working full time, but with a flexible schedule, so I can add stops to my routes as needed. Happy to discuss details in person, or over a call. I'm located around the capitol, and can always work something out to accommodate. I have two kitties that I love and dote on. My partner jokes that I take better care of them than I do for myself, but they deserve the effort. For stays with a single stop a day, I'll play with your pets, make sure they get their food, clean water, and clean litter.

“Alex did a wonderful job watching my two cats while I was away over Christmas! I was worried about leaving my one cat since he has FIC and had a recent flare up, but Alex kept a close eye on him and provided plenty of updates so I knew he was doing ok. He also did great managing my other cat who is a very picky eater. Thank you!”


“Hannah took such great care of my babies! She would always give me updates on every visit and send me the most cute pictures of my cats. My trip was way more relaxing knowing that my pets were in good hands :)”


“Excellent dog sitter! Gave us lots of updates even for a short visit and took wonderful care of our girl! Highly responsive and understanding of our dogs specific needs.”


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for my sweet yellow lab, Clara, who recently passed away. She was truly part of my heart, and now I’m looking to share that same love and care with other pups in need of attention during the day. I work from home Monday through Friday (8 AM to 5 PM), which gives me the flexibility to offer weekday walks—whether it’s over the lunch hour or early afternoon. I understand how hard it can be to make sure your dog gets enough exercise, attention, and love when you’re working outside the home. That’s where I come in! What sets me apart is my genuine connection with animals, reliable schedule, and understanding of what it means to care for a dog. I’m happy to take your dog on a walk around the neighborhood, let them get their energy out, and give them some one-on-one love. I work from home Monday through Friday (8 AM to 5 PM), which gives me the flexibility to offer weekday walks—whether it’s over the lunch hour or for breaks throughout the day. I have extensive experience taking care of a dog who has special needs. For the last few years I’ve cared for a dog in a wheelchair who needed medications daily and very specialized care. I have patience and empathy for the dogs who need extra TLC.

“Seanna is reliable, a good communicator, and great with my cats. She leaves great detailed rover cards about her stays with my cats and takes a lot of great pictures. I can’t recommend her enough.”

He took my kitty Athena on walks(which isn't as common for cats), gave her food during meal time and made sure to send me periodic updates while I was away for a couple days.

Highly recommend”

Bailey takes such great care of our girlie when we’re out. She’s reliable, communicative & so sweet to our girl. Charlie had some stomach upset while we were away & Bailey went above & beyond to take care of Charlie while she wasn’t feeling well, problem solving with us & even cleaning up after her. Truly cannot thank you enough Bailey! Knowing you’re with Charlie is the ultimate peace of mind!

Nina did an excellent job caring for our cats and fish while we were out of town. She was on top of feeding and medication schedules, kept the litter boxes tidy, and the water dishes were all full when we got home. I usually have to do a bit of damage control after a long trip because the pet sitter doesn’t keep up with all the various needs, but I am super impressed with Nina’s work—as far as my pets go, it’s like we weren’t gone at all.

Thanks for working with our schedule and taking excellent care of our young energetic pup on short notice! Mindi came and met us for an intro, was always on time, communicated promptly with us while we were out of town. New to Rover but this was a first great experience!

I was so glad I had Maddie watching my cats while I was gone. She kept me updated with photos and any other little info that she thought would be helpful for me to know while I was gone. It put me at ease to know my cats had her checking on them consistently and showing them love.

Calvin went above and beyond to make sure that my cat was happy and well cared for while I was out of town. He was very communicative, sending regular updates and photos. He was always happy to help and incredibly flexible. I would highly recommend Calvin to look after your pets.

Ruby was a fantastic cat visitor! Communication was clear and timely throughout, and I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in good hands. She took excellent care of my cat making sure she was fed, played with, and comfortable. I really appreciated how Ruby also cleaned the food dish and litter box each visit. It’s clear she genuinely cares. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!
