“Thank you Megan! Bolt loves seeing you and we are so thankful for you! Even on such short notice, you’re always so quick to respond and we have such peace of mind! You’re the best!”

“Kimberley was awesome with our two dogs and cat. She was especially great with giving one of our fur babies his medication when he had an unexpected injury and cleaning up after them. I loved the updates and pictures which really showed how happy our babies were with Kimberley’s visit! From the first moment our Princess laid quietly in her arms I knew we made the right choice. I’d definitely recommend her and will be using her again.”

“Gwen was wonderful with our three pups! Great communication, considerate, thoughtful, caring, and even brought them some extra goodies. We look forward to booking again in the future :)”

“Dana was amazing! My Wickett was a little shy during their first meeting and Dana was so patient and understanding. Just after a few minutes, some yummy little treats that Dana had, and some extra love, Wickett warmed right up to her! Right then, I knew Wickett was in good hands! During her drop in visits, Dana kept me updated with pictures and texts and my little girl always looked happy :) Repeat customer, for sure! Thank you Dana!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I found Zapphora. She set up a meet and greet. She was on-time and my cat took to her right away. Zap is very personable and easy to talk to. She communicated with me for each visit. I had her come 2 times a day for 4 days. My Kitty is my baby, I felt so comfortable knowing that Zap would be checking on her. I am thankful for Rover connecting me to her. I will definitely ask for her for any future travels. Thank you Zap!”

“Quetzaly has been wonderful with our pets. She first sat for our cat, Gemini, and we felt like she took such great care of her that we never had to worry while we were away. Because of that great experience, we thought she would be a great sitter for our 5-month-old puppy, Sesame. My partner was out of town for the weekend and I was working nights that week, so we needed someone to watch Sesame, and Quetzaly was available on short notice. We’re so happy we booked with her—Sesame clearly had a great time! Quetzaly followed all of our instructions carefully and took great care of our girl. She kept us updated with pictures and the Rover card, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We never had to worry about Sesame while we were away. We would absolutely love to have her sit for us again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their fur babies.”

“Samantha took excellent care of my two cats and two birds. They were happy and comfortable during our time away. She followed all instructions and ensured each pet was doing well. She’s very tidy, too. I will definitely be using her services again.”

About: I have grown up taking care of dogs, turtles, and tortoises all my life. I would also watch over birds and pigeons that belonged to my grandma and uncle. I had cared for a friend’s cat and my neighbor’s cat. I currently have dogs, turtles, tortoises, chickens, and ducks. I currently am a full-time student and looking to take care of more furry babies. I will do the best I can to make sure they get the care they need! I make sure to have engaging toys and enough space for my dogs to run and laze around. I keep watch on my tortoises and turtles since they are currently hibernating. I provide a kiddie pool for my ducks to enjoy baths. I have a coop for my chickens and ducks to sleep in.

About: Through volunteering at an animal shelter, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many kinds of dogs. From senior dogs to puppies! All of which I am capable of caring for. I’m currently a full time student at RCC, I major in music so I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate any of my clients demands. I will play with your pets and give them unconditional love and affection. They will receive a walk and a free treat. If there are special needs or requests, I ask you to let me know.
About: I have taken care of pets for neighbors and friends for years. I am experienced in giving animals medicine and love to take care of animals in need. I have volunteered at a wildlife rescue for years and have taken care of possums, squirrels, cats and all kinds of birds. I have experience with young cats and senior dogs and I am not afraid to get messy because that’s what animals do. I cannot walk dogs very well due to having hip problems but I can assure you your furry friend will be taken care of as if they are my own. I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to care for my pets. I wake up around 6:30am every morning to let my chickens out of the coop so they can free roam through my backyard. I feed my starling, cockatiel and pigeon each separate diets. My cats eat dry food in the morning and wet food at night. My chickens go back in the coop at 6pm and I collect all the eggs they laid that day. The chickens get treats like blueberries and feeder fish throughout the day. I do not clip my birds wings so they are free to fly around the house and my cats are friendly to them. My yard is fenced off for my chickens to free roam during the day and I have 2 friendly cats that live in my backyard that catch rats and mice but are friendly to birds.
“Paris is a great choice for pet sitting. I have two cats and two dogs and she took care of all of them with much care. All the fur babies loved her and I will definitely use her again !! Thanks Paris”

About: I've taken care of various pets over the years. Starting from when I got my own at the age of 9. Along with that I've taken care of pets that aren't my own and know how to care for them properly. There have been times I’ve had to care for sick pets and know how important it is to keep a closer eye on them when under the weather. I clean up after them as well as ensuring that they feel safe in their surroundings at all times. I want the best experience for your pet and I will do my best to ensure they enjoy the time they spend with me I'm currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I'm sure free most days with just a few hours of class in between. I'm usually completely free on weekend. I have a love of walking and caring for pets but I like to be careful. I clean up after them and make sure to carry plenty of water and treats for our furry friends.

About: I’ve cared for animals ranging from baby bunnies to horses, so I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. While in college, I helped care for a stranger’s baby bunny for multiple nights on many occasions, making sure it stayed healthy, comfortable, and properly cared for. I also have experience around horses, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how important it is to stay calm and attentive with animals. Because of that background, caring for dogs and cats feels very natural to me. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cleaning up, and giving pets lots of attention so they feel safe while you’re away. I’ve also been dog-sitting for relatives since I was a child, so being around pets and helping care for them has always been a normal part of my life. I genuinely enjoy bonding with animals and making sure they’re not just watched, but actually cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine as a college student because I currently have a flexible schedule and a good amount of free time outside of classes and studying. I’m able to consistently make time for feeding, walks or playtime, cleaning, and giving attention to pets throughout the day. Having open availability also allows me to adapt to unexpected needs and stay dependable with daily care responsibilities. When I pet sit, I make sure pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific routines the pet is used to. I pay attention to the pet’s behavior and comfort level to help them feel relaxed while their owner is away. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure by keeping doors and gates closed, removing anything unsafe, and maintaining a calm environment for the pet.
About: *For first time clients, it is important for me to have a Meet and Greet so that I can get to know your pet and you. So please book in your requests in advance* Hello! I’m new to Rover but I have taken care of dogs since I was 8. I have 6 dogs at home and volunteer at a Humane Society, so I have experience with all kinds of dogs. I love animals and wish to help you with walking, check-in’s, or house-sitting. I can also help you with whatever responsibilities you wish for me to take care of while you are away! I'm currently on break, so I will have plenty of time to care of your pets. I'm available on weekdays and weekends between any reasonable times, just check my availability for any updates. Your pet’s safety and care is my top priority. I will treat them like my own pet and will carefully follow any instructions left to keep your pet comfortable. I know trust is important so I can provide regular photos and updates.

Kathrine took great care of our kitties while we were gone for a 10 day trip. She visited them twice a day to do basic care but went above and beyond to keep them entertained and happy. She also combed them for fleas when a couple were discovered on them to keep them comfortable. Would definitely use her again and recommend her to any pet owner 😊
