âSofia visited our home for 8 days to take care of 2 senior cats. Sofiaâs daily visits including photos and commentary gave me peace of mind while away from home. I found Sofia a pleasure to work with and we will definitely schedule with her in the future.â

âAlma did an amazing job with my two cats who are on the shy side. She is reliable, kind, professional, and a great communicator. Really appreciated her detailed updates and pictures for each visit. Highly recommend!!!â


âGrace is such a fantastic cat sitter! Sheâs experienced with cat coupled with her friendly and approachable personality won the heart of our cat named Mr Miyagi. We highly recommend Grace, especially if youâre looking for a dependable, and professional cat sitter.â

âMelanie was perfect for watching our cat Ollie! We missed Ollie a lot, but Melanie went above and beyond with updates and pictures to make us feel more than comfortable leaving him home. She also took care of our mail and plants and was highly responsive to any of our requests and questions. Ollie was very happy and loving when we got home, whereas in the past he was a little angry at us for leaving in the first place. Melanie must have made him much less lonely :) We will definitely rebook with her next time we need a sitter.â

âBrittney was awesome with our 2 cats! She sent nice updates with pictures, and the cats were well taken care of and happier than usual after we have been away. Highly recommended!â

âChristine took great care of the cats while I was out of town for a week, and made sure Gravy got all of his meds every day. She is a very caring and patient pet sitter! Thank you so muchâ

âI cannot recommend Zulema enough! They took incredible care of my cats while I was away, and I felt totally at ease knowing she was in such loving, capable hands. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful check-ins that truly went above and beyondâevery message reassured me that my cats were not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for. Itâs such a gift to find someone who treats your pet like their own. If youâre looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and all-around amazing cat sitter, look no further. Five stars arenât enough!â

âJessica is SO GOOD with our kitty! Coraline is a lover and tends to get separation anxiety when weâre gone for an extended period of time. We feel much better knowing Jessica is checking in, taking care of, and playing playing with her. And Jessica always sends fantastic photos!â

About: I have raised 2 dogs since puppies until older age. I have experience with older dogs and puppies. Love them all. I have no pets at the moment so any pet I care for will receive lots of love. Love all pets I can provide care in the morning and afternoon. I am available for many services. I can walk pets, play with them, feed them, take them out, cuddle them, and give them love. I can also stay in your house or apartment with your pet. I give pets lots of love and attention. I can give pets lots of love, cuddle with them and give them treats, practice commands, or also just give them space and take them out for walks. I love dogs, I also like cats. Any pets are a joy
About: Iâm a lifelong animal lover and the proud parent of Rudy, my Husky (so yes... I am fluent in 'sass,' expert-level at managing zoomies, and I don't fear a little fur!). For years, Iâve been the 'go-to' pet person for my friends and family. Whether itâs long-term house sitting, popping in for midday care, or offering a safe environment to leave their pets while they travel my inner circle has trusted me with their homes and their best friends for as long as I can remember. In fact, it was their constant encouragement and recommendations that finally led me to join Rover! Because I work from home, I offer a level of flexibility and reliability that's hard to find. I treat every drop-in and walk as the highlight of your petâs day. Iâm not just a visitor; Iâm a dedicated caregiver who treats your pet with the same attention to detail and love that you do. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I will be punctual for drop-ins/walks, spend quality time with each pet, and adjust based on your instructions. Trust is the most important part of this relationship. I know itâs a big deal to invite someone into your home, which is why clear communication is my priority. I am a stickler for following instructionsâfrom making sure the door is double-locked to ensuring your pet gets their exact medication dosage. Iâm punctual, respectful of your space, and Iâm a firm believer that thereâs no such thing as 'too many' photo updates! Youâll get detailed check-ins so you can see exactly how happy and safe your best friend is while you're away.
âMy 2 cats with complete opposite personalities stayed at Tara's for the weekend. They were doted on by her kids and made friends with the other pets as well. It's such a peace of mind to know that even my shy cat had a great time with Tara and her family. Ichigo and Luna hope they can come back soon!â

âAlonso was great and friendly! He came and met our pups before the drop-in to get acquainted with them and their routine. He was on the and sent photos to give us happy updates. We plan on continuing to have him help take care of our pups.â

Sofia did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats while I was away! She was reliable, communicative, and very attentive to their needs. She also sent numerous photos during her visits, which I really appreciated and found reassuring. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, which is all I could ask for. Iâd happily book with her again and highly recommend her to others!

Megan was great with my cat and went above and beyond in every way. Communication was excellent throughout my trip, and I came home to find everything in perfect order. She clearly takes her job seriously and genuinely cares about the animals in her care. Highly recommend her and wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Alma is an absolute gem! She took diligent care of my cat and Axolotl while I was away and was incredibly flexible with an abrupt change of plans due to unforeseen weather. I would absolutely recommend her services and will be seeking them again in the future!

This was our first time booking with rover and Annie was amazing to have over. She definitely goes out of her way to ensure quality care and attention to our pets over the course of her stay. I would highly recommend Annie to others. Thank you again for everything, youâre amazing!!!!
