“Jessica did a great job checking in on our cat while we were away on vacation. Even though our cat is wary of strangers, he warmed up to her pretty quickly. She was very responsive and helpful. I would hire Jessica again in a heartbeat! Thank you for taking great care of our fur baby!”
“Kim was fantastic! She stayed at our home and was great caretaker of our 2 rambunctious kitties. She sent us updates and pictures several times each day and we couldn’t be happier.”
“I am so happy with Kayla! She came to see my cats and they are low maintenance, but she made sure they felt loved. Even my scaredy Cat was curious about her so she was obviously welcome by them as well. She has great communication and made sure to send photos which I totally appreciated ☺️”
“Veey friendly and responded to my request so quickly and in short notice. They sent me updates of my pet and were always quick to respond and communicate. I couldn't be more greatful.”

“This is the second time we've had Leah do drop-in visits to medicate our cats and refill food/clean litter. She is reliable and willing to go the extra mile to find hiding cats and make sure they get their meds!”
“I Had a couple on the fly changes with meds and such the night before my trip, but Christianna handled it just fine. Always appreciate her caring for my kitties.”
About: I have taken care of and owned domestic and exotic animals most of my life. Friends and family always go to me when it comes to watching their pets. I am making pet care my full time career. I will be available anytime time for feedings, walks, bathroom breaks, or even boarding animals. Anything your pet needs, I can make happen. I have a fenced in yard and doggy doors so pups can go in and out as they please. I have two of my own dogs too. (A golden and a corgi) They are extremely friendly and get along with any animal they have ever met. I have two cats and a ferret as well. They all play together and get along. They are also all fixed. If it is preferred that your pet stays away from certain pets I have, my home is big enough to accommodate any separation needs.
“Linda was great with our cat Millie. She sent us updates throughout the stay, gave her medications on schedule and did everything she could to make her comfortable. She gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Kasenia has been the best pet sitter I’ve ever found on this app! She did an absolutely stellar job caring for my kitty, and made sure to spend time with him and play with him during every visit. My kitty also takes medication and she kept to his schedule with no problems and updated me with every Rover card that he’d gotten his meds. Such a small thing but really gave me peace of mind. I will certainly be hiring her in the future!”
About: Taking care of domestic and exotic animals growing up was an enjoyable, it gives this heartwarming feeling. I have over 15 years of experience of taking care different pets. I am willing to go out of my way for my pets, friends, family and new clients. I helped with dogs birth, puppies care, and senior care. I have a set schedule for my dog from the time I wake up to going to bed at night. Feeding, exercise and playtime will be tracked so you know your pet is getting what they need. I will obey all rules and schedule that is given to me for the best care for your pet. Your pet is in great hands, playtime and optional bathe will be included in house sitting so you can come home to a happy and clean pet if they end up having too much fun outside.
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and dogs, I know that pets are more than just animals—they’re family. I’ve raised three dogs and currently have both a poodle and a cat. My skills include puppy training, crate training, basic command training, and managing pets with medical needs, including medication administration. I’m also experienced with reactive dogs, allergies, and maintaining breed-specific grooming standards. As a passionate pet lover, I volunteer with the Red Cross animal visitation program. You can trust me to treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own! I work part-time and live 10 minutes from my house. I always check in on my pets during lunch. My husband works nights so he is home while I’m at work and we switch. I have a fenced yard, and lots of dog friendly walking areas. I have two friendly pets who do very well with other animals. I crate my dog when I leave home to safety & use cameras to check in on them.
