“Jennifer was one of the best cat sitter we've ever booked on the app. She was wonderful and took care of our 3 high maintenance kitties so well. Already going to reach back out for future bookings and would recommend to any pet owners on Rover. Thank you so much Jennifer!”

About: I have been pet sitting for many years. I am currently the go to person for many friends, I am able to administer medication (pills and syringes), I understand the importance of compliance with training, and am here to take care of any and all of your pets needs! I work a full time job, but am willing to fit in any pet care necessary during the early mornings and evenings. I am available full time on the weekends. I am willing to accept stays for as little as one night up to one week! I am conscious and respect keeping the animals normal routine as they thrive in structure. I always stay true to meal times, and whatever is requested. Whatever it is you need done I will make sure to handle and stick to any requests you need for your pet!

She's communicative, takes photos and provides timely updates. We are so glad we found her!”
19. Mackenzie T.
About: My family has had pets since I was born so I’m very comfortable with them. We got our first dog when I was 12 so I learned responsibility for taking care of a pet early in life. I love all sizes and ages of dogs and just want to spend my free time with them. I’m working full time, but just moved to the area so I’m looking to explore the city. My weekly schedule varies but, I plan to spend any free time I have doing pet care. I have a vehicle so I can drive to any location. I’m very respectful of other people’s space and will leave the area just like I found it.
20. Nicole Z.
“Nicole was an amazing sitter for our cat Bebby. We were nervous leaving him with just drop ins but Nicole was so accommodating and caring for him and Bebs immediately liked her! It gave us such peace of mind to have her there and would not hesitate to book her again!”
