“Lindsay took great care of our dog while we were out of town. She was prompt, she had great communication, and our dog loved her. 10/10 would book with her again!”
“Christine was super helpful and lovely to work with. Biscuit really loved her and sent lots of pictures while i was away making my first time away with her as pleasant as it could be. thank you!!”
“Sara was great with our shy cat. She was punctual and reliable for our long stay away from home, and provided regular updates and pictures. We will be booking with Sara again!”
“Beth is great with our girls. Her communication is always timely. She’s so sweet and loves our girls like they are her own. Lilly our rescue warmed up to her quickly which is always a great sign!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Mengshu and Thomas. They took phenomenal care of our cat Gravy while we were out of town. They came by every day and in addition to the usual things like feeding him and changing his litter box, they also spent significant amounts of time with him so he wouldn’t feel lonely and got to play. They sent loads of wonderful pictures that we saved because they were so good! I would also note that they are both just really lovely, kind people. I trust them completely and would recommend anyone hire them to care for the pets!”
“Nina was amazing! She took good care of Lily and provided plenty of pictures. I also really appreciate her attention to detail with her pet questionnaire prior to booking. I would highly recommend Nina! Thanks again! ☺️”
“Lauren and Wynn took excellent care of our kitties! One of our cats hates strangers but quickly opened up to them (which is always a good sign). Highly recommend!”
“Anna is wonderful! She took such good care of our Charley and was very patient cleaning up the occasional mess. 😊 We felt so comfortable knowing that our girl was in calm, capable, caring hands. Anna was great at communicating with us and we loved seeing updates of their adventures throughout the day. We would definitely hire Anna again!”
“Victoria watched our older cat, Lucky, while we were on vacation. She was highly communicative, very caring, and sent great photos of a cat that’s pretty shy. I’d highly recommend her. We came home to a very happy kitty!”
“Donna was an amazing sitter who got along with my cat greatly! She is very nice and obviously loves being around pets! Will definitely contact her again if I need a sitter!”
“I came back to very happy healthy cats. The sitter was willing to spend time playing with the kitties and build a bond. I watched through cameras as she took time to visit with the cats and make them comfortable. I watched my kitties get excited to see her every day. The smoothest pet sitting experience to date. Asks questions instead of assuming. Very good quality of a pet sitter.”
“Kristin is the best! She’s cared for my pup several times. She’s always on time, had clear communication, responds quickly to messages. She left a very detailed report card sheet and took lots of pictures. She’s always reached out with questions. I know my pup is in great hands with Kristin.”
“Brendan was great with our 2 dogs. The dogs seemed to like him and the pictures proved that. He took his time with each dog individually which was nice for the dogs to get their own attention. Thank you for respecting our home and taking care of our fur-babies! We are definitely keeping Brendan in our favorites.”
“Naomi took excellent care of our Kitties! With her knowledge & love for all cats we felt fortunate & confident with our Kitties in her care. Her attention to bringing in the mail & daily photos/videos was an extra bonus! 5🌟 all the way! We will rebook and would highly recommend!”
“Absolutely wonderful sitter! Very thorough and even took the time to bond and play with our timid cat! Sent tons of photos and videos letting us know when/if our cat was eating/drinking/playing.”
“Jill was amazing! She followed the instructions for our cats perfectly and it gave us a lot of peace of mind while away. Sent plenty of pictures - would definitely book again!”
About: I have taken care of my friend's dogs off and on for a few years, and I have found I excel at taking care of pets, the way owners take care of their own! I work from home and I'm able to give your dog my full attention. I work from home, so I am able to give give full attention to your pet as needed! My weekends are pretty quiet, But I do sometimes go out to play shows on the weekends. I'm fully capable of taking the dog out, feeding, walking, and other tasks as instructed. I'm unable to wash, groom, or cut nails. I simply don't have experience in those aspects
About: What sets me apart is my experience and flexibility. I started pet sitting in college and have always loved caring for animals. Now that I work locally with summer hours ending before 5, I’m able to offer reliable drop-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I treat every pet like my own and understand how important consistency and trust are for pet owners Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I work in Hyde Park, so I’m already in the area during the week. On Wednesdays I’m off at 1, Thursdays at 2, and Fridays I’m off all day, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I care for pets like they’re part of the family. My own dogs are definitely spoiled — we have a 10.5-year-old Lab/Collie mix and recently adopted a 1-year-old Chihuahua mix — so I’m used to caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and comfort to help them feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away
Newtown cat parents share their Rover experiences
Emily is the BEST! This is the second time she has watched our kitties while we were away for over a week. They love her and it is so nice to be able to vacation and have complete peace of mind that they are in great hands. We appreciate the daily updates, photos, and Emily’s care for our cats.🙂
Mengshu and Thomas were fabulous to work with! They dropped in on my cats over the weekend. They paid extra attention to them, took a ton of photos, and even brought a toy over one day. I could definitely tell from the photos that the cats had warmed up to them very quickly. I am looking forward to booking with them for our next travels. 10/10 would recommend!
Devynne was so great to work with! She went the extra mile in cleaning out our cats litter boxes, around their food bowls, etc. Plus, she even stayed longer to make sure the area was cleaner than she found it. It was so appreciated. I will definitely look to rebook with her next time!
We usually use a family member to take care of our cats. Due to a scheduling conflict we needed outside help. Sara did a great job! She was great at sending several photos of my happy cats. Sara was even able to see and get a photo of my super scared cat (Odie) that no ever sees, that just doesn't happen. We asked Sara to stay for an hour to love on them so they would not feel so abandoned. She did just that and we have pictures showing how our needy/affectionate cat (Loki) just crawled all over her. The area around the food and water bowl was left clean and tidy. The liter box was cleaned regularly. Thank you for attention to detail. If they could talk I am sure they would ask for Sara again by name.
