Hunter watched our cats while we were away and was amazing! We received pictures and updates everyday, plus our cats seemed super comfortable and were even laying on Hunter’s lap. We’ll definitely book with Hunter again the next time we’re traveling!

This was the first time I used Rover and I was a little worried but Theresa was a great help! She took great care of my cats while I was away. She was prompt and responsive. Theresa left great reports and photos each visit. I would definitely use her again and recommend her!

Erika was my first booking ever on the rover app and she made it a pleasant experience. She showed up early and went above and beyond to make sure my dog and puppy were good. I was called to work last min and she managed to come out and save the Day. Her communication was great. I definitely recommend

About: Caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home that always had two dogs at a time, and before moving out, my family had raised six wonderful dogs together. From energetic pups to older companions, I’ve experienced the full range of what it means to care for dogs through different stages of life. I currently share my home with two special-needs cats, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Managing medications, monitoring behavior changes, and creating a calm, safe environment are all things I take seriously. My primary goal when caring for your pet is simple: I want them to feel happy, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I also know how important peace of mind is for owners. I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and cared for. I treat every animal with gentleness, respect, and the kind of attention I would want for my own pets. I work remotely in IT for a nonprofit organization, which gives me a very flexible weekday schedule. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having some furry company during the week. Whether that means a midday walk to break up my workday or a fuzzy companion nearby while I’m at my desk. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to structure my schedule around walks, feeding times, medication needs, or check-ins. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and you can expect consistent updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your routines and instructions carefully. I follow feeding schedules, medication needs, walking routines, and house rules closely so your pet’s world feels as consistent and familiar as possible while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly. If your pet stays in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. They will have their own dedicated space in my finished basement office that is clean, hazard-free, and separate from my cats. This allows visiting pets to relax without feeling overwhelmed, and ensures everyone stays safe and stress-free. The space includes a comfortable couch just for them, plenty of room to stretch out, and a calm environment away from household noise. I’m home during the day, so they’ll receive regular supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention, balanced with quiet time to rest.

Maylynn was so sweet but most of all I loved how my boys reacted to her. It let me know that she is a good person and that my cats were in good hands while I was away. She was on time for both drop in’s and even made sure to give them some playtime. I’ll definitely be using Maylynn again and recommend her to everyone.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, patience, and genuine love I bring to every pet I work with. I don’t just “watch” animals—I build trust with them and treat them like my own. My experience as a caregiver has really shaped how attentive and compassionate I am, especially when it comes to understanding different needs and personalities. I also have fostering experience, which has taught me how to work with pets who may be anxious, shy, or adjusting to new environments. Because of that, I’m very comfortable helping animals feel safe and supported. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I can help reinforce basic training, routines, and positive behaviors. With senior pets, I’m extra gentle, patient, and attentive to things like mobility, medications, and comfort. Overall, I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone you can truly trust with your pet. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I am unavailable mondays and Wednesdays but available all day on Saturday and Sunday. I can work after 4:30pm on Tuesday Thursday and Friday :) Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or stopping by for visits, I do everything I can to make the experience feel calm, consistent, and stress-free. In your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and playtime. I make sure doors are secure, hazards are avoided, and your pet is always supervised and safe. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident while you’re away. I’m very attentive to behavior and body language, which helps me quickly notice if something feels off. My background as a caregiver has made me especially detail-oriented, patient, and calm in any situation. Cleanliness is also very important to me—I keep feeding areas, litter boxes, and living spaces clean and comfortable at all times. Overall, I aim to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels relaxed and cared for, and where you can have complete peace of mind.

Katie was amazing! She was communicative and very kind. It was our first time using a sitter through Rover and we were not disappointed. Katie was friendly and accommodated all our needs. For the first time, I could say that we vacationed stress and worry-free. Our babies were in great hands. We have a cat and dogs and she catered to their needs very well especially since my Lion (dog) needs extra love when we are away during 4th of July weekend! I highly recommend her and will be looking forward to having her back. 💗

About: I grew up caring for a dog. When he passed just before COVID, I became a foster parent to another, senior dog who I soon adopted. I have raised dogs from puppies to senior age, and have provided training to both age groups. I work remotely, so I have flexibility in my day. I also keep evenings free so I can provide long walks, a healthy amount of daily exercise, and one-on-one attention. I am comfortable caring for pets in clients’ homes, so dogs do not have to acclimate to a new environment. I follow their feeding, walk, medication, and play schedule as closely as possible so their routine is normal and they feel as safe and comfortable as they can.

Zarah was great with Loki! I was nervous using Rover due to it being my first time but it turns out to be such a relief because Loki was left in the care of someone who truly loves animals . I definitely plan on having Zarah watch Loki for my next trip.

Bruce was able to help us with walking and feeding our dog Bergie on short notice. He took great care of him (we’ve never left him with someone other than family) and Bergie loved him. I appreciate how communicative Bruce was and that he gave Bergie lots of attention and exercise.

About: I have taken care of pets for a long time. My neighbor had me dog sit last year for about 2 weeks and it was honestly the best experience. I have also had experience with feeding another neighbors dog once a day while they were at work. Hi! I’m home for the summer and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the week for walks and drop-ins. I love spending time with animals and will make sure your pets get plenty of attention, care, and affection! 🐾 I will easily follow every step that is given to me with rules and boundaries of what the pet can or can not do. I will not bend rules

Laura did a fantastic job dropping in our two pups! We came home to find our guys sleeping contently after her visit. They were fed, walked, and received a bunch of loving attention during Laura’s visit. No wonder that we came home to a couple of peaceful, sleeping pups who got all their needs taken care of for the day. Thanks so much Laura!
