“Anna was amazing!! We had a few situations arise that she was so gracious to adjust to meet the needs of our fur babies. I cannot recommend her enough and brag on the care and love she gave our dogs!”
“Lauren was very responsive and punctual! She did a wonderful job taking care of my pup Tucker while I was gone for two days and made sure to go beyond just walking/feeding him but also spent time playing with him and bonding. I loved receiving updates while I was gone.”
“Allison was amazing! We’ve had some crazy pet sitter experiences and she eased my mind so much. Our cat looked so happy in all his photo’s and she gave him lots of love at every visit. Will absolutely be booking with her every time we go out of town! 10/10.”
“Claire was great for our drop-in visit! She was reliable, checked in right on time, and kept us updated with clear communication. We’d definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Crystal is a wonderful cat sitter—reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. She followed instructions carefully, sent regular updates, and our cat was calm and happy when we returned. Highly recommend.”
“Brooke was amazing and kept us updated with pics and updates everytime she stopped by. We told her we liked the dogs to be let out before bed and she said she could come later than we asked and I know the pups appreciated that. This was our first time booking through Rover, so we didn’t know what to expect, but Brooke made it simple and communicated wonderfully! Will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I currently work at a doggy daycare and have been there for over five years. Through this experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. My job requires patience, attentiveness, strong communication, and a genuine love for animals. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medications when needed. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy. I’m flexible with my schedule and usually available, and I’m happy to provide frequent updates and photos. Pet care is already a huge part of my daily routine with my own dog Bentley, and I’m excited to get to care for your pet/s as well. I’m open to trying anything that best suits your dog’s needs and routines. I’m comfortable handling dogs of any size, age, or even multiple dogs at once.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for years, from my own family pets, neighbors and friends to volunteering at animal shelters. Your furry family members will be in good hands. I have a flexible school schedule that gives me a great amount free time during the week to care for your pets and their needs. I’m there to make sure your pet has a good time and good company, your home will never be left how I didn’t find it.
“Nancy was great, when my pet sitter canceled last minute she was able to drop in on my cat while I was away. She is quick to respond and sends pictures and occasional video updates. When I got back, I could tell my cat hadn’t been stressed while I was gone. I would highly recommended and use again!”
“Skylar was absolutely incredible with our four dogs! She was available at the last minute for a family emergency. In the process, she updated me and shared some photos of some very happy babies. Our dogs warmed up to her very quickly! She was also very understanding when we came home sooner than expected. We will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you, Skylar for loving them as much as we do :)”

I truly cannot say enough good things about Taylor, she is an absolute godsend of a cat sitter. I had to be out of town for an entire month, and naturally I was nervous about leaving my cat, Scarlett, for that long. Taylor came over beforehand to meet her, and Scarlett instantly loved her, which already told me everything I needed to know. From day one, Taylor went above and beyond. She came every single day for a full hour, gave Scarlett so much love and attention, and took the most incredible care of her. She sent me detailed updates about what they did together and always included tons of photos (10+ a day!), which brought me so much peace while I was away. I felt completely comfortable the entire time knowing Scarlett was in Taylor’s care. She is thoughtful, reliable, communicative, and genuinely loving with animals. I could feel how much she truly cared, and that made all the difference. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. Scarlett was in the very best hands, and I’m beyond grateful I found Taylor. If you’re considering booking her - do it!! She’s truly one of a kind, and I would recommend her a thousand times over! Thank you, Taylor, for taking such beautiful care of my girl! 💖🐾
Brooke was wonderful! She came over before the trip to meet my dogs, see my house, and learn their routines. While I was gone she let me know when she arrived, how the dogs were, shared pictures, and when she left. I wasn't anxious at all about how the dogs were being cared for. I will 100% use Brooke again!
Anna was great to work with. She was very communicative and quick to respond. She took great care of our Husky and two cats. She even sent some adorable pictures of all of the animals during her visit. I would highly recommend using her for your next pet sitter!
Tia was great. She came to the house to meet my gang before we booked and went above and beyond when I was away. She was flexible with what I needed and helpful with everything, even when I got sick and had to come home early. I would definitely have her again!
Michaela is truly great. I could tell she really cared about Odin and his well being. She is VERY flexible and interacted with me the entire time. Thank you for putting up with this high maintenance dog mom! I really appreciate you and all you did for Odin! Will book with her again!
Ev really saved us this holiday season! Our normal sitter had something come up last minute so we had to find someone same day on Christmas Eve! Ev responded very quickly and took such great care of our cat over the holiday. I told Ev that there was no way our outdoor cat would interact with her, but one day later she sent a picture of her petting our cat! Animals know kind souls.
We had an excellent experience Hannah and couldn’t recommend her more highly. Caring for multiple cats can be a challenge, but she handled it effortlessly with patience, organization, and genuine affection. She took the time to understand each cat’s individual personality, needs, and routines, ensuring everyone received the attention and care they required. Her updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and we returned home to happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for cats. It was clear they felt comfortable and secure in her care. Professional, dependable, and truly kind, she went above and beyond, and we would absolutely trust her again.
Lilly was absolutely amazing! From the moment my pup met her, he fell in love with her! And I could tell she treated him so well while we were gone! She kept in great contact and sent plenty of pictures of my boy to keep my mind at ease while I was away! I even had a slight panic one night with my pup, and she went above and beyond to help! I highly recommend her!!
