“Frankly, this review will simply repeat many of the wonderful things others have said about Raven's fur baby talents. She cared for our three cats and did an amazing job. Our cats greeted us upon our return with excitement and joy, which I attribute to her warmth and caring in her interactions with them. She's a genuinely sweet person who loves animals which is the best qualities you can hope for when looking for someone to entrust to care for your fur babies. :)”

“Robbi is fantastic. She’s reliable and takes such good care of our cat when we’re away. I love that we don’t have to worry about her when we’re out of town because Robbi makes sure she’s fed, brushed, and loved.”

“Sandy came over to our house every other day for 3 weeks while we were out of the country. Every single picture and message was filled with love and compassion, while she was extremely professional and courteous. The cats loved her, we couldn't appreciate her more, and will definitely request her services again. A++++”

“This was our second time having Kylie as our pet sitter, our 2 cats were well looked after and we knew they were in good hands while we were away, Kylie send us pictures each visit too , I highly recommend Kylie as a pet sitter, she goes above and beyond.”
“Ronda always makes sure our fur babies are taken care of when we are away. Going out of her way to fish cat toys from under our furniture so our cats can stay entertained, making sure they are always fed, and keeping the litter boxes clean and tidy, we love having Ronda come to visit!”

About: I have had pets all of my life including dogs, cats, leopard geckos, and fish. I love animals and have been trusted to watch friends and family pets for as long as I have been able. I think pets are important family members and I am excited to care for your critters! I love their personalities and getting to know them I have experience with elderly pets, pets with medical needs, young pets, and exotic pets. I’m currently a furloughed federal employee and I’m looking for some work to fill my time. I’m available for as long as this shutdown ends! I have a dog, cat and leopard gecko of my own who are all very friendly. I can work around your schedule I will not allow boarding in my home for cats because I think there’s too much of an adjustment period. But I am very willing to do drop ins! Dogs that are friendly with cats and are crate trained can board at my home. I will only allow one family at a time with two dogs maximum. I can come to your home and do drop ins or walks during the day
About: ✨First booking? Use code: BRITTB38049 for $20 off After hearing about Rover I instantly thought that it would be something I would enjoy doing in my free time... so here I am 🐾 Over the years I have worked a variety of animal service jobs, from animal shelter to doggy daycare to veterinary offices. Therefore I do have some great experience with pets. As a dog mom I know how hard it can be to find a trustworthy sitter to leave our dogs with. My goal as a Rover sitter is to give you peace of mind knowing that your dog is receiving the best care while you are away. At my home I provide a safe, stress free and loving environment. We keep our house small capacity. Hosting only up to 2 at a time. Everyone eats and sleeps in separate kennels to avoid conflict.
“Summer was amazing for our cat! She was thoughtful enough to take great pictures when he was very dearly missed in our absence and cuddled him during his afternoon cat naps :) Thank you Summer!!!”

About: I’ve spent most of my life around dogs. I grew up with a German Shorthaired Pointer and was always finding ways to spend time with her. I showed her briefly in 4H, took her and her puppies on walks, and spoiled her as much as I could! I rescued my dog a year ago and have loved spoiling him too! I’ve always had a love for all animals and am always willing to learn about different breeds, care requirements, and personalities of you pet to serve them best! I work full-time during the week, but I get done at 3:30pm so I can stop by anytime after 4pm on weekdays. I’m completely free on weekends. Feel free to message me if you are unsure of my availability and I can see what I can make work! I’m pretty familiar with most training tools and with crating dogs, and I’m open to learning about any specific routines your pet has to make them as comfortable as possible.
“Vanessa is a great sitter. She stays at the house with our cats while we’re out of town and the house and cats are always in perfect condition when we return. We’ve asked her to sit for us 3 times and plan to use her services every time she is available in the future!”


“Mary is a great catsitter - she gave me daily updates on my cat, with photos, and is generally very responsive. She took time to get introduced to my cat, and my cat really took a liking to her from the first meeting (he is a bit wary of strangers so this is not common). Overall, a great experience.”
“My cat doesn’t like anyone, but he likes Taylor! Taylor’s daily updates are detailed and thorough with good photos and I feel totally comfortable having her in our home while we are away. Thank you!”

“Morgan is kind and caring and did a great job checking on our cats while we were away. Her messages were funny and kept us updated while we were gone. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Mya did excellent with our kitty, Waffles! She sent lots of pictures (which we appreciated). Our kitty appreciated the care. Communicating with Mya was easy and she also met with Waffles before I left with my trip. I would def hire Mya again!”

About: I have 2 dogs currently, Mogwai and Cujoseph, they are my babies. I have been volunteered at the pound for over a year. I have been around animals my entire life and would love the opportunity to meet your fur babies. I have been around many different breeds, and have never met a doggo I didn't fall in love with. In our free time, we love to go on hikes and out on boat rides. Cujo, adores the dog park, Mogwai the corgi, not so much... pretty sure he still hasn't figured out he isn't a human, but he is working on meeting new friends! I also love meows, I have two as well, Jack and Benicio. I look forward to meeting you and your babies!
