3. Katie O.
“Katie did an awesome job with our kitties while we were out of town! She was super sweet and reliable, sent us lots of pics. Definitely would rebook with her!”
4. Ashlyn B.
“I would highly recommend Ashlyn to anyone needing a pet sitter! Our cat, Mocha, is very shy and doesn't always warm up to new people quickly, but Ashlyn had her coaxed out on the first drop in and spent plenty of time playing with her and giving her tons of love. We were able to relax on vacation knowing Mocha was so well taken care of and we will definitely reach out to Ashlyn again for our next trip away!”
5. Luna S.
“Luna is a very loving and responsible person who is great with people as well as animals. She was raised in a house full of various pets, from cats and dogs, to snakes and lizards and as such has learned how to care for a wide range of animals. She has often taken care of our animals, her grand parents animals and many of our friends animals. She has done it for a day, and even for multiple weeks at a time as a kind of house sitter/pet sitter. I would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter or just a pet walker.”
6. Brittany B.
“Brittany took excellent care of my kitties while I was away. Ahe was easy to communicate with and the cats appreciated all the play time. I can't recommend her enough!”
7. Melissa A.
“Melissa has been wonderful! My pups are happy and well cared for! She has been flexible with my crazy schedule and oh so sweet. I feel that having her take care of my pups while I’m at work gives me peace of mind to focus on my job without having to worry if my fur babies are okay. Will hire her again and again!”
8. Lacey H.
About: I am usually the go-to person friends and family call to walk with and watch over their fur babies. I have a great amount of experience taking care of animals of all ages and sizes (including my own) for friends, family, and neighbors. I love to try and teach new tricks when possible to keep their minds active! Although I am in school while I work, there are set days where I don’t have class. With that there are several days when I am free to watch, check in on, or walk fur babies. When watching my own pets, I normally have them on a leash while outside since I don’t have a fenced in yard. I like to make sure my pets and other peoples pets aren’t outside in the heat for too long and have plenty of water breaks especially when playing. When walking my own or other people pets I don’t like to have them close to roads, I try to walk them in parks and on trails.
9. Nicole A.
“Incredible caregiver and pet sitter. Nicole was a vet tech; so, I always know my pets are in great hands whenever she’s looking out for them! 10/10 would recommend”
10. Samantha S.
“Since Samantha has been a little girl she has been a pet lover. She loves her dogs and cats and goes up an beyond to make sure they are healthy an happy an most of all loved. She recently adopted a turtle named Merlin who she has created a wonderful environment for. She is a great champion for all animals far an wide and would be a fantastic addition to Rover.com”
11. Ida M.
About: I am a full-time therapist. I decided to do this in my spare time, on weekends preferably. I’ve owned cats my whole life, and I volunteer at the animal shelter to walk dogs whenever I can. Pets are a very important part of my life, and I understand they are for you too. Right now I am available on weekends to do drop-ins when you are out of town. I can feed them, walk them, change the litter box, play with them, and so forth. As someone who works full-time, pets offer a lot of stress relief, so this is my way of ending the week on a positive note and making friends with your fur babies! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you so much ❤️☺️ I work a full-time job, but I am super free on the weekends! I usually work from 8-430. Being able to interact with pets is such a joy! It is a stress reliever for sure! At my clients home, I make sure that I provide extra special care. For cats, this includes cuddles, treats, as well as feeding them a nutritious diet. For dogs I make sure I give them attention and lots of exercise!
12. Ness C.
“Ness is a great drop-in cat care person! One of my cats adored her—she was his food source after all! The other cat, who is quite neurotic and hides when anyone comes in the house, usually goes on an hunger strike when I’m gone but actually ate his food and even meowed for her one time. Ness’ quiet energy made everyone happy.”
13. Alexzandria H.
“Alex is a life saver. I use her almost weekly for dog check ins and she is amazing. My dogs absolutely love her and look forward to seeing her come. She is always there when I need her even with late notice. I’m blessed to have found her thanks so much Alex!”
14. Michael R.
“Michael is the first person I call, when I need someone to care for my dog. My dog is always so excited to see him, and he takes excellent care of him.”
15. Veronique M.
“Veronique did a great job, visiting with & feeding Zoey. And most importantly giving Zoey her ear medication.”
16. Ethan S.
“Ethan is always very caring with our little fur baby. She always looks forward to seeing him. He is dependable, punctual and trustworthy. Very highly recommended.”
