“She did such an amazing job! So communicative and willing to meet before doing the check in. Our boys were so happy to be in her care!! Would definitely rebook again 🥰”
“Our special-needs cat had wonderful overnight visits with Matthew. He takes great care of her and gives her his attention when he visits. We are always thankful for his time and service.”
“Truly couldn't have asked for a better person to look after our pup! Extremely communicative, thinks of things you wouldn't and makes sure everything is taken care of. Thanks for everything!”
“Jamie was great and I will definitely use her again. She provided timely updates and pictures. I used her for drop in visits and had no problem trusting her in my home or with my small zoo :)”
“I can’t say enough good things about our cat walker, Mia! She has been absolutely amazing with my two ragdoll boys, Loki and Thor. Not only does she take them on their walks, but she also did drop-in visits while I was out of town—and I had complete peace of mind the entire time. What really sets her apart is how interactive and engaged she is with them. She doesn’t just show up and go through the motions—she truly spends quality time encouraging them to explore, play, and of course, get plenty of cuddles. It’s so clear she genuinely loves what she does, and even more importantly, she truly loves my boys. Loki and Thor adore her. They literally cry at the door when they know she’s coming, which says everything. Seeing how excited they get and how comfortable they are with her makes it an easy decision every time—I’ve already booked her multiple times and will continue to do so. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, Mia is the one. She goes above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Rebooked Jennifer and Jonathan last minute after my friend who was going to watch my fur baby had an unexpected change in plans. They were phenomenal as usual and I knew my little girl was in great hands. I appreciate them being flexible and accommodating with the late notice and look forward to rebooking again in the future!”
About: Over the years, I’ve rescued and trained several puppies, helping them find loving homes. My experience with animals began in childhood, where I cared for multiple pets who lived long, happy lives. This lifelong connection with animals has given me the skills and dedication to provide exceptional care. I am currently available at all times, including early mornings, late nights, and any day of the week. Whether it’s a quick walk, extended pet care, or last-minute needs, I can adjust to your schedule and provide reliable, attentive service. My flexibility ensures your pet gets the care they need, whenever they need it. I have a strong understanding of animal behavior and body language, allowing me to anticipate their needs and reactions in various situations. I also have the necessary tools and equipment to maintain control and ensure the safety of all parties at all times, providing a secure and stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners.
About: I provide attentive, dependable dog care focused on safety, structure, and enrichment. I have experience working with dogs of various sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I tailor my care to match each dog’s routine and personality. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I make sure every dog feels secure, engaged, and well cared for. I work from home Monday–Friday (7:00 AM–4:00 PM), which allows me to provide consistent attention, flexible scheduling, and reliable care throughout the day, every day. I provide safe, attentive pet care in my one-bedroom apartment with two cats and one dog, ensuring a calm, supervised environment where pets are kept comfortable, on routine, and given individual attention. I focus on feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and an stress-free stay. When caring in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain the pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, litter care, and any special needs. I also ensure the home is respected, secure, and left clean. In both settings, my priority is safety, consistency, and clear communication with pet parents.
About: I’ve taken care of family pets growing up for years, cats and dogs. And walked a dog for a neighbor twice a week for a year. My schedule is pretty flexible but it’s helpful to know a week in advance the timing of when walks are preferred so I can adjust accordingly. I am not able to do pet care in my own home as I am not able to house pets in my current lease, sorry!
“Marta & Marshall G have been wonderful taking care of my Asta. Thorough, attentive and going the extra mile of being flexible when I needed to add an additional day! I can’t give them enough accolades and thanks! I will definitely be calling on them again!”
“Oline is fantastic, she was very good at getting my shy cat’s trust and always had great communication. The next time I need someone to watch my cat I will be going back to her.”
“Phung was great! She communicated regularly and sent us lots of pictures. Our kitty was well taken care of and our place was left clean. Would recommend her/have her watch our pet again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life as I have grown up with them. I love animals and enjoy getting to know their personality. I'm dependable, detail oriented, and keep owners updated with lots of photos. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind while away. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so it's an easy and rewarding part of my weekly routine. I intentionally leave flexibility in my schedule to accommodate visits, walks, and quality time with the pets I care for. I am going to college in late August and will not be available to sit past then. By making sure all their needs are met and doing everything the owner asks me to do. I do my best to maintain the pets normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
“Erin did a fantastic job caring for my new puppy before she was old enough to get out of the house and around other dogs. She made sure to take very good care of her and keep her safe. She also helped continue the training I was doing with her at home.”
“3rd time having Rezvan watch my two boy cats. She did a great job taking care of them while I was gone. I really appreciate all the photos and videos she shares of the boys while I am gone. It is reassuring to see that the boys are still getting affection and having someone play with them while I am not there.”

Brendan was amazing. He was timely with his check-ins, administered my cats insulin without issue and even went above and beyond one day when my power was out and he couldnt get in. I will 100% be booking with him again for any future cat sitting needs I have. Thanks again!!
This is our third time booking with Jasi and yet again, she was exceptional! I had miscalculated my days during booking and needed more visits, Jasi did not hesitate to jump in and cover while we were away. As always, she was thorough, loving to our kitties and assured me they were well taken care of while we were away! We will absolutely book with her again!
We recently went on a three-day international trip and needed someone truly trustworthy to look after our cat. We were fortunate enough to find Vicki, and I can confidently say she exceeded every expectation we had. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, professional, and thoughtful. She asked the right questions, paid attention to every detail, and instantly gave us peace of mind. While we were away, Vicki cared for our cat with a level of dedication and kindness that is rare to find. She didn’t just “check in” on him—she genuinely spent time with him, comforted him, played with him, and made sure he felt safe and loved in our absence. Her updates were consistent, detailed, and incredibly reassuring. Each photo and message reflected how much she truly cares about animals. When we came back home, we could immediately see the difference. Our cat was calm, happy, and completely relaxed—almost as if we had never left. In fact, over the past few days, we can tell he genuinely misses Vicki and keeps looking toward the door, waiting for her to walk in again. It’s rare for him to bond with someone new so quickly, and that alone says everything about the level of comfort and trust she created. To be honest, we feel like we’ve found a new member of our family in Vicki. Her kindness, reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional caregiver. Knowing that our cat was in such capable and loving hands allowed us to enjoy our trip without worry. I would recommend Vicki to anyone on Rover who wants true peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone responsible, compassionate, and truly devoted to the well-being of your pet, Vicki is absolutely the person you want. We are so grateful for her and will definitely be booking with her again.
