“Kirsten is absolutely the BEST!!! She took amazing care of my cat, parrot, & home while I was gone for two weeks. She went above & beyond for my babies. I didn’t lose a single moment worrying if they were being cared for or what train wreck I was coming home to. Thank you so much!!”

“We are so relieved to have found JoVonna. She is officially a member of our family now. Our 4 cats do not socialize with other family members but they took to JoVonna immediately. She administered medicine, kept food and clean water available, and the cats said I have to step up my litter boxes duties to match her. JoVonna exceeded all expectations on timeliness and communication. So grateful and will book her for all future trips.”

“Kelsey is 5 star plus!! My cat has only been left with a house sitter since I got her 1 1/2 years ago. I was extremely nervous leaving her for just multiple drop ins over 3 days with a new sitter. When she came for the visitation first, I immediately felt more than comfortable with Kelsey! Her love and knowledge of cats was immediately evident and I knew she would be great with Lily. She even spent time offering me tips with problems I have with Lily! When she left, I felt at ease and comfortable leaving her. Communication and pictures were outstanding and I could see how well everything was going. She followed all my "obsessive" directions wonderfully! I came home to a relaxed, happy cat! Kelsey, Lily and I thank you for your wonderful care!!”

“Erica did great checking on my kitties while I’m out of town. This was my first time using rover so I was a little nervous but she uploaded pictures and made my kitties feel comfortable. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of tons of furry (and scaly) friends over the years. It warms my heart to provide all that I can for any pet. I have my own babies at home, as well as taking care of friends’ and families’ as well. I would be happy to offer that same care to any pet. Pets are incredibly special and important to me. I take great pride in committing deeply to assuring their safety and care while under my supervision.
“Amy has been so wonderful with my puppy! Super responsive and sends me cute videos and pictures of him. Makes me feel so much better when I leave him and I know he’s in great hands 😊”
About: We’re lifelong pet lovers with experience caring for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs. We're home all day, so your pet will have constant companionship and supervision. Our backyard is fully fenced — perfect for safe play — and we’re right next to a nature trail, so daily walks are easy and enjoyable. We’ve handled puppy training basics, administered medications, and adapted to all kinds of routines. With us, pets get a secure home environment and the kind of active, attentive care that many sitters simply can’t offer. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. We are home most of the day, so I’m available for regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime. We have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time, and I live next to a nature trail, so walks are easy and part of our daily rhythm. Whether it’s feeding, exercise, or just companionship, I enjoy making pets feel comfortable and cared for like they’re part of the family. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. In my home, pets stay in a safe, clean environment with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I make sure water bowls are always full, routines are followed closely, and pets get plenty of play, rest, and attention. I also live next to a nature trail, which is great for walks if the owner is comfortable with that. Safety and comfort come first, so I always keep a close eye on pets and adjust to their needs.
“Emily was so good with our cats! Our cat had to get a daily pill and they were very happy and comfortable to do it for us. It was the first time we had one of our cats on medication while we were on vacation so we were extremely nervous. After the first visit was finished though, we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation because of Emily! Thank you so, SO much! We will definitely book them again if their schedule permits! ♥️”
“Tria showed up exactly on time. She did a wonderful job of doing everything we asked. Communication was great from her. We will definitely request Tria again. It was so nice having peace of mind knowing our pup was loved and cared for while we were away.”

Keely S.
“She is a really sweet girl who genuinely loves animals and works hard to take care of them. My cat Butterscotch has some special needs which require medication and close monitoring. She is the only one that I would let watch my baby girl. Responsible and respectful, all you ever wanted in a pet sitter!”

Kathryn M.
“Kat is a person that connects with animals in a genuine and loving manner that easily allows her to care for them and for the animal to understand that she means well. She’s grown up with different animals and reptiles around her since she was young and has a strong sense of responsibility for any pet she takes care of, whether it’s her own pet or someone else’s. She’s a wonderful person, and I trust her with my pets, as I hope other people will feel the same.”

Will & Bibiana B.
“We’ve had Enzo stay with them several times, including an overnight and a full week. He’s a bit of a unique dog with some behavioral challenges, but they handled him with patience, care, and understanding. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they watch, and Enzo came home relaxed and well looked after each time. We really appreciated the updates and would absolutely trust them with him again.”
