“Ava was great!! Very professional and easy to work/communicate with. My biggest worry is always my cat Belle getting outside because she hangs out by the door, and Ava was extremely vigilant when opening and closing doors, so that gave me peace of mind and calmed my worries. She sent adorable pictures with the Rover cards. Would absolutely book again :)”
“I am a first-time Rover user, and I couldn't have been happier with choosing Kathryn. Kathryn took such wonderful care of my two cats (and fish) while I was out of town! She even soaked my fish's food for him. :) She was super responsive and kept in great communication the whole time, which made me feel completely at ease. We had tornado warnings during my trip, and Kathryn made sure we had a clear plan in place for the cats just in case things got serious. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was thinking ahead and ready to act if needed. After Kathryn left one day, my one cat sat at the door, probably hoping she would be back soon with a new toy. If you're looking for a thoughtful and reliable sitter who truly cares, Kathryn is amazing. I’d trust her with my fur babies any time!”
“Gina did a great job with our three cats. Gave updates and sent pics of them from her stop ins. Would definitely book her again and recommend her to others.”
“Lily is a fantastic pet sitter! My girls loved her! I was nervous at the beginning about leaving my ferrets alone for a long time, but Lily dropped in and my worries faded away quickly. She is very responsible and beyond my expectations. I also appreciate Lily sent me photo updates about my girls every time she dropped in. Lily is very trustworthy, and my girls love playing with her. :)”
“Gabe was great!”
About: I have a 5 year old dog named Benny who is my pride and joy! Growing up, my family had two shih tzu’s named Mikey and Griffin. I have always had a huge love for animals and by growing up with them I’ve been given the opportunity to learn how to properly care for them. As a student at Miami University I am apart of an organization called Paws for a Cause where I regularly sit in-training service dogs. Aside from caring for my dog Benny, I am available to sit most days! Besides school, I have a relatively light schedule and open availability. I care for my dog by keeping him on a regular schedule of breakfast & dinner, 3 walks a day, and regular playtime. I have taught my dog many tricks and have helped properly train the Paws for a Cause dogs that will eventually go on to serve children and veterans in need. I would be so happy to provide your animals with the same love, care, and respect I have for my own!

I always follow rules and procedures carefully and diligently so that the pet is well cared for, healthy, and, most importantly, happy!

She is my go to sitter now! Thank you for making us feel as ease during our trip by caring for our cats!❤️”

I got multiple pictures a day of my cat being spoiled with love, cuddles, and playtime. Janice was also super understanding & flexible with timing (as I had many last-minute changes to my reservation due to travel issues). I will definitely be boarding with Janice again the next time I need a pet sitter.”

“I can't recommend Sujay highly enough! From the moment I met him, I could tell they genuinely care about animals and are dedicated to providing top-notch, compassionate care. My cat, Dylan, is very social and affectionate, requiring a great deal of interaction and attention. Sujay was perfect for the job and definitely up to the task. He also kept me updated with daily pictures and messages, which put my mind at ease while I was away. When I returned home it was clear Dylan had been well taken care of—he was happy, healthy, and seemed to have enjoyed his time with Sujay. I also appreciated how communicative and responsive Sujay was throughout the entire booking process. If you're looking for a responsible, caring, and reliable sitter, look no further. I will definitely be booking with Sujay again!”
