“Mary Kay has helped us for years and she is always so dependable and attentive to our little loved ones. She is a wonderful person and sitter. We can’t recommend her more highly.”
“Lukis was AMAZING! My girl cat, Gladys, really warmed up to Lukis in almost no time at all. She kept me up to date on everything and sent me great photos. I usually have so much anxiety around leaving my cats with a sitter, but not this time. I WILL be a repeat customer.”
“Katie was great! What a relief it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy to take care of your pets while you are away! I will definitely put in a request for Katie again!”
“Katherine always does an excellent job caring for our kitties. She is communicative, quick to respond, and makes sure the cats are happy and comfortable.”
“Maheen took great care of our two cats while we were out of town. They seemed to be comfortable with her right away and we really appreciated the cute pictures and thorough updates every visit. We would highly recommend Maheen to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Katy was great with my pup! She truly cares for you and your pets to get the best experience, and even stayed longer with my puppy to makeup for a small miscommunication we had. She was very patient with my young puppy and I will definitely use Katy again.”
“Ariel is hands down the best sitter I’ve booked with in my two years and two cities on Rover! She is so kind, communicative, and sent the best pictures and updates while we were traveling over the holidays. She really put me at ease knowing our kitty was in great hands. 10/10 would definitely book with her again :)”
“Avery was great, she gave me updates and shared photos of her time spent with Bailey while I had work commitments, giving her treats and belly rubs. I highly recommend Avery and won’t hesitate if I need her help again soon : )”
“So crazy amazing! Carli far exceeded our expectations. She took care of all three of our pups individually to cater to each ones needs. From Our happy pup to our anxious pup, she treated each one with love and care. Can’t wait to have her with us again.”
About: For 15 years, I’ve cared for my own pets through every stage of life. Everything from boneless puppy days, anxious rescue transitions, chronic care, and senior routines. Those years have taught me patience, intuition, and how to help animals feel safe. I have a flexible schedule that makes it easy to adapt to your pet’s needs and keep things consistent. **My calendar and availability will be updated weekly on Mondays.** I aim to create a calm, predictable environment. I will stick closely to your routines–meals, walks, meds, and house rules–so your pet’s day feels familiar and low-stress. In your home, I treat the space with care and stay mindful of doors, gates, and any potential risks. (I have my own "Harry Husky Houdini", so I understand an escape artists.) If something seems off, I’ll check in right away. At my home, pets stay in a safe, pet-friendly space with no toxic plants or hazards. We have a doggy door for easy access outside, but all outdoor time is supervised. I never do off-leash time unless we’re in a fully fenced/secure area and you’ve approved it. I tend to communicate often, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel just as at ease, because as a fellow pet parent, I know how hard it can be to be apart.
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. For the past 5 years I took care of my senior dog until he passed at 17. I have experience with senior and sick pets. Provide medication and a lots of attention. Very patient and loving. I work remotely. I can stay with your pet all day and provide plenty of attention and potty breaks. I can take breaks during the day for walks, and they can sleep in my bed at night. I have a large fenced back yard. No children or other pets in my house. I live alone and work from home. I will provide plwnty of attention and play time.
About: I have two great Danes and a miniature border collie. I also have two cats and a bird. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and have had experience with 180 pound dogs as well as tiny ones. My Danes had puppies so I also have experience taking care of my animals as well as 12 Great Dane puppies, I’ve also had animals on medication that need IV fluids daily so there isn’t much household pet wise I haven’t seen :) I’m working part time so I have lots of time usually to take care of your pets! My shifts are usually 4 hours. I have my own car and a lot of free time. I’m very paranoid safety of any animal in my care, so I tend to be extra cautious, especially when walking or letting dogs outside I think your animals safety is a top priority but I also want them to be comfortable and entertained! I think mental stimulation for animals is crucial my own animals have puzzles they play with to get treats. I am aware how animals personalities vary and am ready to do what is needed to take care of them.
About: Ive had family pets growing, from birds, fish, cats and dogs. I have my own two year old Shiba Inu named Mango. My building also has a private dog park we’re all of Mango’s fluffy friends get to run free and fast or just socialize. I currently work as a gig worker and have a fairly free/flexible schedule. I can be relied on for regular/recurring or one time check-ins or walking and even boarding for your floof. I have a fenced dog park private to my building. There are tons of green spaces and park around to walk and relax. I’ve got plenty of treats and love to work on commands, just play with your pup or just lounge around the house.
“Erik watched my kitty on short notice and made the process easy. He sent updates and took great care of my car. She is a bit standoffish, but she took to Erik quickly. I will rebook with Erik on the future — thank you!”
“Naomi helped us out immensely by taking care of our senior kitty while we were out of town. She distributed meds with no problems and took care of our girl with love and care. I would recommend Naomi to anyone who needs reliable and earnest pet care and will book her again in the future. Thank you Naomi!”
“Heather has been wonderful to work with. She’s been prompt, careful and communicative with her visits with my pet. She’s been able to have a warm relationship with my pet despite my cat’s shyness. I absolutely plan on rebooking visits with Heather in the future.”
“Laura was great! We used her services for drop-in visits. She was prompt to respond to texts and sent us updates on each visit. The dogs were happy and the house was accident free! I would definitely recommend her.”
“We had Randi watch our cats for the first time this past week. Randi kept us up-to-date with pictures and notes and our cats were well taken care of. One cat needs medication and he was great on our return. Very reliable!”
New Center pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jeannette is our go-to caregiver for our elderly cat. She puts love and caring into every visit, and I can’t recommend her enough. We don’t worry when we’re gone, and she sends artistic and fun photos and videos so we can see how happy our fur baby is. Highly recommend her! Thank you Jeannette!!
Erik is so great with my cat. He takes great care of her and goes above and beyond to look out for my entire household. My dog has been gone the last couple of drop ins, but I look forward to Erik taking care of her too. He is clearly a natural animal lover and will care for your pet as if it’s his own.
Naomi was diligent and attentive to our new cat who played a tough game of hide and seek each time she arrived to check on him. Instead of throwing her hands up and saying she couldn’t find him, she took the extra effort of searching (high and low) to make sure he was doing well. We can’t thank Naomi enough for putting our minds at ease while we were on vacation. Thank you, Naomi!
