“Hannah was AMAZING!! She dropped by to visit my cat while I was out of town and my cat loved her. Even with the cold and snow storms we got, she was dedicated and determined to come and take care of my cat. I truly don’t think anyone else would’ve had the drive to do that, and I would heavily recommend her to anyone that I know and will be using her again in the future!”
“Morgan is so helpful with visiting our cat, I really appreciate her attention and care for details during her visits. We’re glad our cat has a new friend in the area!”
About: I have owned multiple dogs from a young age, and have been responsible for feeding and walking them. I also have a bachelor's degree in Zoology, the study of animals. I'm looking for work currently, so I have plenty of free time. I am available at any time of day at any day of the week. I look after my two dogs, whom I walk, feed and give attention as needed. I have two fairly high-maintenance dogs who need a lot of love and activity. I will give your pets plenty of attention as well as their other special needs.
“Kirsten was great! She stepped in to help with some cat-sitting in a last-minute situation and was very responsive and kind. She took lots of pictures and videos and was able to get a shy, skittish cat to be playful and fun during the time she spent with her. Kirsten is obviously great at what she does and I'd recommend her to anyone needed their dogs or cats watched. She is caring, attentive and communicative and I knew my cat was in good hands while I was away!”
“This was my first time using Rover and am very pleased with the entire process. Maria was awesome with my Oliver who tends to be a bit shy with strangers. He warmed to her right away and it gave me great comfort knowing he was well taken care of while I was away. I appreciated the clear communication and that she arrived on time for the scheduled visits followed by a note and photos. I highly recommend Maria!”
About: I grew up in a household full of animals! Dogs, cats, and birds! I have experience giving medication and bottle feeding. I am an animal lover through and through Right now I am working from home with a very flexible schedule so I can come see your sweet fur babies any day any time! 💗 I treat pets like they are my own! I want them to feel happy and cared for while you are away, following their normal routine as closely as possible. My visit with them will feel like a fun break in their day, not just a quick check-in!
“I booked Francis to walk my Scooby twice in one day and was very happy with her service! Scooby immediately loved Francis and enjoyed his walks. She is very responsive and accommodating and was super easy to work with. I’ll be booking again!”
“Reba used so much consideration and care when looking after my elderly cat. She was kind, gentle, and understanding of his temperament and needs and it made me feel so much better about leaving him for a week.”
“Kristy was the most perfect pet sitter for our kitty, Bear. This was our first time using Rover and it couldn’t have been a better experience. After meeting with Kristy we knew it’d be a great fit and that was clear during her visits with Bear. We received detailed updates with each visit, along with pictures and videos. There was no doubt that Bear loved the check in visits with Kristy!”
About: I have acquired a unique set of skills. I may not know who you are, or where you’re from. But I will find you. And I will take the best care of your animals!! Also please tell me you know what movie the first part is from. Free schrute bucks if so! I am currently a fourth year medical student. Just moved to the Chicago area to finish med school. My hours are random but short and flexible. Best part about being in my final year is that I can make my own schedule and majority of my days are spent at home studying. I have a fenced in back yard, living with another medical student so one of us is usually always home. There is another small dog in the house and she is older, but loves other animals and is very friendly. I can do leash walks or allow your animal out in your yard for some play time. Whatever is easiest for you and preferred.
About: I’ve taken care of many different types of animals throughout my life including, cats, dogs, and rabbits. I grew up mainly with dogs but I love all animals. I’m currently in school at Appalachian State University for becoming a veterinarian technician. But, I’m doing online so my availability is anytime throughout the week. I would keep your fur baby’s safe while pet sitting/walking them no matter what. I will keep your dogs close when other dogs approach in case of a bad interaction.
“Roselynn was great to work with! She even managed to get a picture of my very shy cat. She is a great communicator and gave me updates every day. I look forward to having her pet sit my cat Ziggy again.”
About: I’m currently retired so I have plenty of time to give your cat or kitten the attention they deserve. I am available weekdays and weekends. I’ll have time to change or scoop litter, feed and give fresh water to your cat. If you like I can also play with them. I will make sure your cat does not escape and enter and leave fully aware of where your cat is. I will be the only person entering your home and only enter rooms you point out unless your cats are hiding when I do a head count. I would suggest you close doors to rooms you don’t want me or your cats to enter. You can trust me with your pet. My vet or staff will vouch for me.
“Karen was very responsive to communication and kept me up on her schedule. She showed up as planned and made sure our 3 cats had everything they needed in our absence. I would definitely recommend Karen to anyone needing a trusted caregiver.”
About: Hi! I’m 25 years old and a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your furry (or feathered!) family member needs a walk, a quick drop-in visit, overnight care, or extended sitting, you can count on me to provide reliable, loving care while you’re away. I currently have an Australian Shepherd mix and a pet bird, so I’m experienced with both dogs and exotic pets. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every animal has unique needs and routines. I’m also experienced and confident in administering medications, whether that means pills, liquid medications, or following specific care instructions to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. My friends, family, and previous clients consistently describe me as dependable, compassionate, and attentive. I’m proud to have glowing references from pet owners who trust me to care for their beloved companions, and I work hard to earn that trust with every visit. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, playtime, and updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently available for overnight stays, drop-in visits, dog walking, and other pet care services, and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets. I can’t wait to give them the same level of care and affection that I give my own! Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine, so caring for additional pets fits seamlessly into my schedule. I start and end each day caring for my own babies, an aussie mix and a quaker 🦜 making sure they receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, attention, and love. Because I’m already committed to a structured pet care routine, I’m able to easily incorporate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, medication administration, and overnight stays for my clients’ pets. I understand how important consistency is for animals, so I make it a priority to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether it’s an energetic puppy that needs extra playtime, a senior pet requiring medication, or a shy cat that just needs some quiet companionship, I’m happy to provide personalized care that helps your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure in my care. Whether we’re out on a walk, playing at home, or simply relaxing together, I remain attentive and patient while ensuring they stay safe at all times. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in good hands.
About: I’ve had the pleasure of pet sitting for others for many years. From puppies who are still training to seniors who need lots of extra care. I grew up around dogs and cats in my youth from our beloved Shetland sheepdog who we enjoyed 12 years with to taking in strays and fostering dogs and cats for periods of time. In my adulthood, I’ve raised my mixed breed, Louie, since he was 4 weeks old, and he just turned 7. I look forward to caring for your animals in whatever way is helpful! I currently work part time so I have plenty of time during the week to care for (or just hang out with) your furry friends! In addition, I have most weekends available for pet care from pet sitting at your residence to walks, feeding, etc. For me, pets are family, and that means my top priority is maintaining their safety. From our initial interaction, I want you to feel confident that I will do everything in my power to keep your animals protected and loved. I hope to be an extension of the care and love provided by their owners!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Old Town
Chelsie took wonderful care of my cat, Pablo, during our 8 days of twice a day drop in visits. She is clearly great with cats and connected with Pablo right away during the meet and greet. I really appreciate her consistent updates and photos while I was away. I will definitely rebook Chelsie again for future pet sitting needs and I highly recommend her to others! It was so nice to have the peace of mind that he was in such great hands while I was so busy on my long trip.
Eleanor went above and beyond. On her second day visiting, she discovered that my water heater had gone out and my bedroom was flooded. She communicated promptly and stayed an extra hour to keep my cat safe while maintenance came. My cat enjoyed her company and playtime and I loved seeing the photos of him while I was away!
Annalisa was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of our 2 kitties, and even won over our super shy one. She went above and beyond our expectations by checking and clearing the litter yay the beginning and end of each visit. We came home to 2 perfectly calm and happy cats, thanks to her outstanding care and attention. She will be our first choice every time!
