“We booked Abigail and Ian last minute to let Pancho out, and they were amazing! They responded quickly, were super friendly, and made us feel completely comfortable trusting them to come into our home. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Jolie has been super helpful. She loves animals and cares about them. She also respects and meets pet owners' needs. I couldn’t be happier with booking her. She is taking care of my babies, and I will definitely work with her again in the future.”
“Ann made my boyfriend and I feel at ease with being away from her. Ann sent amazing updates about our little pup with every little detail that we loved! Will definitely ask Ann to watch our little girl in the future :)”
“Maggie is the absolute BEST. She treats my cat like her own and really goes above and beyond caring for her. I have absolutely no hesitation about leaving my cat in her care! Maggie’s been a game changer for us both. Thank you, Maggie!!”
“Highly recommend Sabrina! She adapted to Chewbacca's needs and even introduced ways to get him to eat that I didn't even think about. Chewy's a stubborn, grumpy old poodle and he opened up to her!! Sabrina was easy to communicate with and sent plenty of updates to keep me in the loop. She went above and beyond with everything and treated Chewy like her own. I'll definitely choose her next time Chewy needs a sitter!”
“Tara was so kind and caring towards my golden retriever pup. She’s super knowledgeable about puppy training and I cant wait to work with her again! Thank you so much, Tara!”
“Grace did an amazing job with our kitties, she sent pictures and updates everyday which we really appreciated while out of town. One of our cats who is usually very shy/timid loved Grace immediately! We also had cats who were still being introduced and needed to be kept separate while we were away, Grace made sure to give everyone plenty of attention while keeping them safe in their own spaces. I would absolutely recommend Grace to anyone looking for a cat sitter, and we will definitely consider rebooking with her in the future!”
“Emily was prompt with all her visits and easy to communicate with. My cat is a little shy at first but Emily got her to warm up quickly. She provided photos and updates on all the visit cards so I knew everything was okay.”
About: Been a cat lover forever, pet sat my way through college. I'll do drop in visits, play with, and clean up after your pets, always happy to meet new fur babies. I'm working full time, but with a flexible schedule, so I can add stops to my routes as needed. Happy to discuss details in person, or over a call. I'm located around the capitol, and can always work something out to accommodate. I have two kitties that I love and dote on. My partner jokes that I take better care of them than I do for myself, but they deserve the effort. For stays with a single stop a day, I'll play with your pets, make sure they get their food, clean water, and clean litter.
“Bob took care of my little bundle of joy, Cheeti, a 17 years young cat. I appreciated many things. Bob was punctual which was very important to me since Cheeti requires meds. He also sent multiple updates and pictures. This made a big difference since I could see that my baby was well taken care of and as a result I was able to thoroughly enjoy my time away. Cheeti and I give Bob 5 gigantic shining stars!”
“I was nervous about using Rover, but Seanna made it a great experience. She provided thorough updates and photos of my shy cat Ella and gave her a lot of attention. I really appreciate her communication and professionalism!”
About: I don’t have any experience with senior animals but I am eager to learn more about the care that they need! I have three cats so I know how to care for animals with different personalities! I am a respite care provider part time, but I always have time for furry friends. I make room in my schedule to work for Rover and engage with other animals besides my own! I would prefer for care to be provided in your house, but I also have a one bedroom apartment with plenty of room for cats to roam (including s screened in porch to bird watch) and lots of toys! I also have a large backyard for dogs to run around and play fetch!
“Maddie and Anna were awesome with our puppy while we were away and we would highly recommended them to anyone! We will absolutely be using them in the future, and thank them for being so great with our girl!”
About: The experience I've gained from both my own furry friends, and those that I've taken care of has given me a unique perspective and love for animals and their well being. Not only do I take pride in my care for each pet's specific needs, but I simply hold such a deep love and care for animals and their happiness. Knowing when I go out of town or am away from my dog that he is receiving top tier care is of upmost importance to me, and I can't wait to provide the same for others. I'm home from college for the summer and have a lot of time on my hands, on top of my current summer job, and would like to spend my time helping others and making dogs more comfortable and happy when their owners are unable to provide that care. I walk my 11 year old German Shepherd 2 times a day, and care for him with additional attention towards his medication, vet appointments, and outdoor time. I spend much of my day invested in his happiness and overall well being as part of my daily routine, so I am very attentive towards animal's specific needs.
About: I've been pet-sitting since I was young and have always loved spending time with animals. I also worked at a dog daycare where I gained hands-on experience with various breeds and temperaments. I learned effective training techniques for puppies and how to care for senior dogs with extra needs. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just good company, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away! I'm currently a student living on campus, but I’ll be available for long-term pet care starting in June. Over the summer, I’m open to dog-sitting, boarding, and house-sitting for extended periods, and I’m happy to work around your schedule to provide flexible, reliable care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly—free of hazards and tailored to their needs and routines. I pay close attention to any instructions provided, from feeding and medication to favorite toys or walk times. I also prioritize trust and communication by keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages, so they feel confident and reassured while they’re away. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just being a calming presence, I treat every pet like they’re my own.

Parkside Resident pet parents share their Rover experiences
Bailey takes such great care of our girlie when we’re out. She’s reliable, communicative & so sweet to our girl. Charlie had some stomach upset while we were away & Bailey went above & beyond to take care of Charlie while she wasn’t feeling well, problem solving with us & even cleaning up after her. Truly cannot thank you enough Bailey! Knowing you’re with Charlie is the ultimate peace of mind!
Nina did an excellent job caring for our cats and fish while we were out of town. She was on top of feeding and medication schedules, kept the litter boxes tidy, and the water dishes were all full when we got home. I usually have to do a bit of damage control after a long trip because the pet sitter doesn’t keep up with all the various needs, but I am super impressed with Nina’s work—as far as my pets go, it’s like we weren’t gone at all.
Thanks for working with our schedule and taking excellent care of our young energetic pup on short notice! Mindi came and met us for an intro, was always on time, communicated promptly with us while we were out of town. New to Rover but this was a first great experience!
