“Ann was great with our cats. We appreciated her quick communication, professionalism, and prompt updates. Also, thank you for bringing in our packages!! Our shmittens aren’t the friendliest but Ann even got some pets in. We are grateful we found Ann!”
“I greatly appreciate Liz for checking in on my cat! She got to know my cat and developed a great relationship with her! Liz took pictures of my cat and sent them to me, which helped me feel comfortable (as this was my first time having someone watch my cat). I will definitely be using Liz the next time I need someone to do drop in visits with my cat. Thank you so much Liz!!”
“Leah took great care of our super senior kitty who is as high maintenance as she is affectionate. Leah gave her meds and snuggles shared photos of each visit and is one of our go-to sitters. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first experience leaving our cat Bandit with a sitter and Janette made us feel so comfortable. She stopped by before we left to learn all about him and his habits. She gave us full reports, videos and pictures so we knew how he was doing each day. He was very happy! I could not recommend Janette & Charles more!”
“Katy took exceptional care of our cats, as though they were her own, while we were out of the country visiting friends and family for a long period. She also took initiative to take care of an ant situation. We never had to worry once about anything. We are so grateful for her and look forward to booking her in the future. Thank you, Katy!!”
“Nicholas was very professional and reliable. He was attentive to detail and managed a complex senior dog. I would highly recommend him. Excellent communication Thank you Nicholas for taking such great care of Darwin and Hazelnut!”
About: I have been walking dogs and dog sitting for roughly 10 years now. I’ve stayed overnight and would house sit for people too. Though I have spent a lot of time caring for family and friends pets in my area, I would love to expand and care for your pets too! I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of free time during the week for drop in visits and dog walks and whatever else needs to be taken care of. In my home, I have a fenced in yard for my golden-doodle with lots of room to run around. He is very friendly with everyone he meets and loves having play dates with other puppies.
“Cassandra did a great job dropping-in on my dogs. She made sure they were happy and fed and provided through updates including photos. I would definitely have her take care of my pet in the future.”
About: Neighbors, friends and family have trusted me to care for their dogs since I was a kid. I’m an interactive care taker that will ensure your pup is healthy and happy while away! I’m currently working most days from home, so my schedule allows flexibility within means. I am available week day evenings after 5:30pm and open availability most weekends. I have two cats myself and experience with dogs, puppies and kittens. Happy to fit your needs and preferences that will make your pet the most comfortable!
About: I am a cat mom to two bengals, and they are very high energy, so I am a pro at playing with cats. I have grown up with tabby’s my whole life, and I have seen such a range of unique personalities. I am excited to meet you and your fur baby! I’m currently working from home everyday except Thursday, so I have time during my lunch, before or after work, and on the weekends. I am right in Uptown, so I am walkable to a lot of the community, but I also have a car. I am happy to clean the litter box, food and water bowl, when needed. I can help with oral medications, brushing and nail trimming if I have a buddy.
“Elle dropped in on Cubby a few times when we needed help. She was absolutely awesome with Cubby, very gentle and genuine. Her care and passion for dogs truly came out when we saw the photos she took. She was on-time, followed all instructions to ensure Cubby's routine wasn't interrupted. She kept us informed throughout the process of her visit. I would highly recommend Elle for any Rover service!”
“Super reliable and awesome communication during a week of cat sitting visits while we were out of town. Very detailed in her visit reports which was great. One of our cats gets oral liquid medication through a dropper and we were so happy Georgia was comfortable and great at administering it. Thank you Georgia!!”
About: I’ve grown up around all sorts of animals and have experience taking care of cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, fish, and more! I’m quick to learn and follow routines. I also have experience with giving medicine and treatments to animals. I am currently working as a teacher in the suburbs and have availability before and after school hours; this could be drop in visits or overnights. I also have all day availability on Saturdays and Sundays. **For the summer I am available every day, any hours. I unfortunately do not have the flexibility or availability of having cats and dogs in my home, but I am more than willing to follow a routine and provide play and care in yours!
“Emma did a great job watching our dog and cats while we were out of town! She showed up on time for all the check-ins, which was such a relief to know their routine was being kept up. She sent lots of pictures and I could see all the animals loved her, even our skittish cat came out to get some love!”

Jamie O.
“Jamie has taken care of my cats over the years. I trust her with my cats more than any other person. She is kind, caring and trustworthy. Not only does she feed and play with them, but she cleans their litter boxes every day, so they are happy. When she plays with them, not only as a group but individually as well. They love her and after play time they cuddle with her. She treats them like she would her own. She spends lots of time with them, so they don't miss me as much when I have to be gone. I've also had a dog and she was so kind and patient with him, he was a rescue and was not trained very well in the beginning, Jamie worked with him for hours and now he is such a sweet guy. He doesn't come when called but he sits when told and you can go get him. I guess he will never learn to come, but our way works thanks to Jamie.”

“Elizabeth did an amazing job caring for our two cats while we were away for two weeks overseas. She’s reliable, caring, and we’d absolutely book her again!”
Emilee R.
“Emilee has been such a great help whenever I've needed her to watch my cats. She is the most passionate cat lover out there. And my cats always love having her around! I'd highly recommend Emilee for any cat-related job. She's also a great people person and I think working with people and cats could not be more fitting for her.”

I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received during the 30-minute check-in! The sitter was punctual, attentive, and experienced with feline personalities. Ann ensured my cat was fed and played with, and even sent adorable photo updates that gave me total peace of mind. She genuinely cares about animals, and my cat warmed up to her instantly. Highly recommend—will book again! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is our second time having Ellie watch our cats and we were out of the country this time. She made us feel so much more comfortable being far away. She sends updates, pictures, and spends extra special time with each of our kitties. She's ama
