“Meghan took great care of our cat Violet while we were away on a 12 day trip. We came home to a very happy cat who was well cared for. Communication was great and she provided us with daily updates and photos. Definitely recommend Meghan and would use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Alison took care of my cat, Wolfgang, for 5 days while I was on a cruise in the Bahamas. Everything looked better than before I left. She cleaned out the old bits and pieces of dry food from his 3 cat treat bowls and the litter box was immaculate. I will definitely plan on using Alison again in the future.”
“Melissa did great with our 2 cats! She sent us pictures with every visit and gave us peace of mind that our cats were well taken care of while we were on vacation. Would definitely recommend Melissa to take care of your furry family!”
About: I have owned dogs all my life and always put their needs above my own. I have fostered several dogs throughout my life and will always have a soft spot for rescues. I previously worked at a doggy day care and loved every minute of it. I am a stay at home dog, goat & horse mom which led me to offering my services through Rover! I am available most weekdays and weekends for drop ins or daily walks. Your pup or kitty will be my top priority and will be treated like my own. I will feed, water, walk or play with your fur kids while you are away. I can fit my schedule and services to work best for your needs.
“Jennifer was simply amazing. My dogs loved her instantly and I felt comfortable leaving them in her care and trusted her in my house. She sent pictures and made sure my dogs got a lot of love and play time during her visits. I will definitely use her excellent services again”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I truly love animals and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for and play with your pups. Can't wait to become your pet's bestfriend!!!! I’m comfortable going to your home to care for your pet. I always make sure your furry friend feels safe and loved in their own space. I follow instructions carefully and treat every pet like family.
“Cameron did a fantastic job taking care of both my home and my tiny fury overlords! He took the time to get to know them, and I swear I think they were disappointed when I came back and Cameron left. 🤷🏼♂️ Will 100% be hiring him again for my upcoming trips.”
About: I have had a lifelong passion for animals and have cared for pets of many different kinds throughout my whole life. Cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, bunny rabbits, lizards and more. I am also particularly good with sick animals. I have a flexible work schedule and can make myself available for pet sitting at almost any time, nights and weekends included. I'm often available on short notice as well. I can do either drop-ins for just walking and feeding or I can do full time pet care overnight in your home depending on your preference.
“Rebecca was fantastic. Great communication from start to finish and even alerted us about ants getting into a new auto feeder for our cats and helped rectify the issue. Food and litter areas were left clean. Great job!!”
“Jess was a wonderful sitter for the cats. She kept us updated and sent pictures every visit. The cats seemed to warm up to her pretty quickly so we will definitely hire her again. Thank you!”
About: I will take care of any pet. I have taken care of cats and dogs but have no animal limits. I will make your your pets are happiest! Pet care is currently my full time job. Feel free to ring me up anytime day or night for your pet care needs. Truly 24 hours I give fresh water and food every day. I will pet them and play with them if they want, or leave them alone if they want to be left alone.
“This is the 2nd time Laura has watched our cats for an extended time, and we’ve been very thankful for her consistency and flexibility. She’s a great communicator and we love getting pictures of the cats every day, too! She’s made us feel much better about being away from them while traveling.”
“Is there a 12 star button because Ashley was absolutely amazing. She went well above and beyond what I ever expected. She was very attentive to details with Keebler and the house. I will be using her again.”
