“Madison did a great job!! Was very communicative and felt comfortable having her come to take care of our cat while we were away. Would absolutely have her take care of our fur baby again!”
“Kathryn is lovely. Our kitties responded well to her calm demeanor- even our most shy little cat would sometimes venture out to see her when she did her check-ins. We enjoyed getting photo updates from her each day. She is reliable and friendly- we were very pleased to find her on Rover!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years, starting in a multi-pet household and continuing as a trusted sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I have experience administering medications—both oral and topical. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, mealtime, or snuggles, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs and routines. I treat every animal like my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away I’m currently in between jobs, so I have open availability through early August—including weekdays, weekends, and even short-notice bookings. Once my new job starts, I’ll still be available most weekday evenings and weekends unless I’m out of town. I do this because I genuinely love animals—pet sitting doesn’t feel like work to me. It’s something I truly enjoy, and it’s always rewarding to spend time with animals, care for them, and earn their trust. I’m most comfortable house sitting in your pet’s familiar environment—it’s usually less stressful for them, and I love making sure they stay relaxed and happy while you’re away. I’m great with cats and dogs alike, and I have lots of experience managing routines, giving meds, and keeping things tidy. I do have one friendly dog at home, and while I can host in emergencies, I typically prefer to care for your pets in their own space so they feel safe and settled. Your pet’s comfort and your peace of mind are always my priority.
“Natasha was excellent! She was able to quickly turnaround a first visit and schedule a week of pet sitting while we were out of town. Our cats loved having her visit and play with them, and she provided some great photos during her time.”
“As a former member of the animal care industry, I have high standards. If you have the opportunity to let Becca care for your pets, do it. Truly above and beyond care.”
“Tanya is extremely professional, has a great memory, very reliable, and is super patient with new animals. She watched our three cats while we were out of town for the week and gave them some company. On first meeting her, she asked great questions regarding personality types and general instructions, and talked us through her soft approach to meeting our animals. She assured us that she’d devote her whole reserved time to sitting with them and letting them get to know her presence. Her notes were thorough and reassuring. We were very happy with her and even our shy cats liked her and allowed her pets. Would highly recommend.”
About: I have been a pet owner of multiple different types of pets for my whole entire life. Including pet sitting for friends, family, and anyone who needed! Right now I am currently working part time. I have multiple times during the day to help you and your furry friend out! Thank you! I am a dog and cat owner myself, and I see everyone’s else pets to be just as special as mine. I know how much they mean to you, how important they are. They are family! I would take care of them just as I take care of my own. With love, affection, and respect!
“Lisa did an amazing job caring for all my animals with all their specific needs. I was able to go on vacation for the first time in years and knew they were in good hands. She kept me informed and sent wonderful pictures! She is an amazing lady! Thank you so much Lisa for all your help :)”
“My cat was very calm and trusting with Grace from her first introduction even though Spider is now older and more cautious. She therefore allowed Grace to brush her during visits which was my key request. ++cj”
About: I’ve been a life-long animal lover and pet caretaker for my own furry family members and others as well. I’ve cared for small cats and dogs up to 100+ pound doggos. If your pet needs to be picked up or carried that’s no issue for me! I own and operate a business that allows me a lot of flexibility and free time so I can care for my pets and yours almost any time. My 3 dogs are my family. We share living spaces, eating spaces and napping spaces! I love sharing car rides with them and taking them on walks with the family.
“My first experience on this app was a fantastic one! Margaret was very communicative and I had such peace of mind leaving my cat in her care while I was on my trip. She followed all the instructions perfectly and sent the cutest pictures. Everything was left in the condition she found it and I have zero complaints. I highly recommend her and would use her again without hesitation.”
“Katlyn did a great job taking care of our 3 cats while we were gone. They got love and attention, and even our stand-offish adopted stray came up to her for pets and pictures. Katlyn was thorough and professional, will definitely contact her in the future to look after our fur-babies.”

“Beth was amazing to have as our pet/house sitter, making our 10-day vacation stress-free! She's an excellent communicator, and both responsible and responsive regarding all facets of home and pet care. We have 2 young cats who can be a bit shy around new people- but they loved Beth immediately and are honestly probably bummed that we're back! The house was left in excellent condition as well (not that we expected any different, but just saying:). As I'm sure is the case with all pet owners, we're always a little anxious about leaving the cats for long periods of time but really had no stress about it whatsoever on this occasion. We will definitely look to book Beth or our next time away! Thanks again!”

I’ve always been super hesitant to leave him with anyone because of that, but Tyler handled him with total confidence.
