Heather did an incredible job taking care of our cats. She was responsible and communicative. Our travel coincided with the recent blizzard; she adjusted her plans to visit before the storm hit and offered to visit again if we could not make it back in time. Needless to say, we were very happy with the care she provided.

She did great! Some issues came up last minute and she handled everything with grace. She was able to get my anxious kitties to warm up to her. It was my kitties' first time being left alone, so I was worried, but her pictures and video updates left me reassured that they were doing well. When I got home, my kitties were unstressed and greeted me happily. Thanks again Katrina!!

I am so grateful I found Kelly on Rover! She was available on Thanksgiving and I was so lucky to book her when I did. She contacted me right away to set up a time to meet me and my pup and I knew immediately she'd be great. She was super communicative, so easy going and just so sweet! We will 100% use Kelly for dog walking in the future!

About: I have had a combination of cats and dogs growing up. I have my own cat now who’s 8 years old. I previously had taken a job with a dog walking company in my general area for a bit over a year! I did overnight visits, drop ins, and short baby sitting days/nights. I enjoyed the work and the varieties of sweet fur babies I met! I have experience with providing medicine and accompanying little ones overnight where they need a friend to keep them company! I am currently looking for a flexible part-time schedule. My full-time job occupies a lot of my time from 7/8am to 4/5pm depending on the work. I am comfortable stopping by and caring for little ones at night time for potty breaks & dinner time. My cat at home has her own space for her food that is special for her to feel safe. She has developed anxiety as she’s gotten older, so the area is more secluded to prevent her to be stressed my other outside forces. As well, proving her medication when she needs it in the morning. Previous work, I would take long walks with dogs and let them sniff around. Take many photos of them for their parents to see them while away. I am very observant to the surround areas so ensure they don’t become stressed out in case of any other dog/car that can come by. I keep them always on the inside of the sidewalk for safety. I follow all special instructions per family request and make sure dogs & cats are taken care just like their owners were home. No skipped routine gets past me! I want the pet sitter time to be relaxed and fulfilled for everyone involved.

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. From the very first moment, it was clear that Ella truly understands cats—not just their routines, but their emotions, boundaries, and quiet language. My cats felt safe and genuinely cared for, which says everything. Ella has what I can only describe as soul cat energy: patient, intuitive, and deeply kind. She went above and beyond, not just making sure everything was done, but making sure my cats felt loved. Ella is a true star and a rare find.

About: I’ve been working with dogs and cats since July 2020 with minor experience in a grooming salon. I’ve always loved animals and decided to start my own dog walking business in February 2022 and have loved every aspect of it. If you’re interested in boarding, please message me before booking. I enjoy getting to know pets and their families and always make time to go over all your needs thoroughly to ensure you can trust to leave your animal with me comfortably. Your dogs needs are always my top priority and will never hesitate to protect your baby in an unsavory situation. I can administer a range of medicine, including insulin and administer fluids, adhere to any dietary and exercise needs, and love going on long walks at the park. Dog walking and sitting is my full time occupation. I am usually walking dogs from 9am-3pm on a daily basis. I have a few families that depend on me daily and some for emergencies or last minute bookings throughout the week. I book most of my stays in advance and recommend that if I cannot leave your dog unattended for at least 4 hours to look elsewhere (sorry!). My calendar is updated daily, please reach out and say hello! I always make sure to meet with a family before confirming a booking. If the booking is far enough in advance I recommend at least 1 or 2 more visits prior to the families departure just to go over basic info, daily routines, and to let your pet get more familiar with me. I’m always happy to stay over night, am very friendly with neighbors, and am a quiet homebody type. I would never invite guests over while you’re gone and always make sure I leave your home cleaner than you left it. Your trust is most important to me and hope you will consider me when booking your next trip!

Martha took such incredible care of Bitty while I was away. This was my first time leaving her home alone for an extended period, and I was nervous because she’s an older cat and has been through a lot. Martha immediately put me at ease with the sweetest, most detailed updates written from Bitty’s perspective, along with tons of photos from every visit. You could tell she genuinely cared about Bitty’s comfort, routine, and emotional wellbeing — not just the basics of feeding and litter. She spent real quality time with her brushing her, cleaning her face gently when Bitty allowed it, sitting with her on the couch, and even letting Bitty nap on her lap during visits. The updates were thoughtful, funny, and reassuring, and I could tell Martha was paying close attention to Bitty’s eating, drinking, litter box habits, mood, and behavior. By the end of the visits, Bitty was clearly comfortable and attached to her, which says everything. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and I’m so grateful. I would absolutely trust Martha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, patient, communicative, and genuinely invested in your pet’s wellbeing.
