“Kathy was truly awesome! She took great care of our babies while we were away for 9 days! She made sure she fed the cats, cleaned the litter box and played with them. She went above and beyond to fix the problem with our automatic feeder while we were away and couldn’t do anything’ She followed instructions perfectly and always asked questions when she had any! It was easy to stay in contact with her and she responds very quickly! Our babies were definitely in good hands and definitely booking with Kathy again!”
“Mackenzie was great! She did everything I asked and went above and beyond with my cats! I would 10/10 recommend her to check on your fur babies.”
“Isabelle was super communicative and took care of our cat exactly as we needed! The photos and updates from her visits were much appreciated and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Looking forward to rebooking for future travel!”
“This is our first experience with Brittany. She did a wonderful job and followed our detailed care instructions to the letter. Our kitties love her and we'll be using her again in the future.”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful with my shy, retiring cat. She knows how kitties work and was able to entice her out. She was easy to connect with and gave great updates to make the fur Mom happy. I will be booking her again.”
“Bri did an amazing job and even brought in two packages that had been delivered and were soaked from rain. Her update about the visit was very informative and she included lots of pictures, including one of the best pictures of Ellie that has ever been taken! I highly recommend Bri and will definitely be booking her again!!”
“Maryann took great care of our two kitties while we were out of town. Our cats are recently adopted and very very shy with strangers, but in just a few short visits Maryann did a good job getting the cats to trust her. We enjoyed reading her reports of the visits and she took plenty of pictures of the cats which reassured us that they were in good hands.”
“Noah went above and beyond when watching my cats, Jerry and Diego! He was very helpful with cleaning and messes and he even brought our mail inside. I really appreciated reading his thoughtful updates after each visit and there was nothing better than looking at the photos he took of my boys when I was really missing them. I definitely plan to book with Noah again and highly recommend him.”
“Renee took great care of our elderly cat who is on end if life care. She is great at communicating and even noticed he preferred a treat flavor over another she went and bought him more of the chicken treats! She also sent us lots of pictures and updates of her visits. I highly recommend her, she made us feel so comfortable being away.”
“Davis is such a lovely individual who truly loves the pets she cares for. She is an excellent communicator and always leaves the best rover cards. I will continue to book again and again with Davis!”
“This was my first time using rover and Erin made the experience seamless. I felt no stress leaving my fur baby at home and knew he was in good hands and I was right! 10/10 recommend Erin for future sittings!!”
“Fiona is awesome every time she checks in on my girls! I used to worry about being away from them for trips but I know they’re in good hands with her 😌”
“Emily was incredible and took such good care of our cat while we were on vacation! I appreciated the amount of communication and all the pictures it was obvious Lola felt very comfortable with her. I would highly recommend leaving any pets in Emily’s caring hands 💕”
“Anders went above and beyond caring for Pippa during the power outage! I really appreciated the extra care for Pippa, going so far as to make an extra stop one day to see if the power had come back on, and hunting down my recycling bin which had blown into a neighbor's yard. I would definitely have Anders watch Pippa again!”
“This was my first time having a pet sitter on Rover as a new cat mom, and Nicole was amazing. Nicole was communicative, asked great questions at our initial meeting, and sent well-written and detailed summaries of her drop-ins every morning, with many super cute photos and videos. I had so much peace of mind on my trip knowing my 2 cats were in good hands with Nicole, and I will happily book her again the next time I'm out of town if she is available. Highly reccomend!”
About: Have many years of experience growing up in a home with cats and dogs, helping sit my friend’s and family’s dogs, and as a cat mom for 5 years. I recently finished my masters degree and now have a very flexible schedule as I look for my next opportunity! Very happy to accommodate different scheduling needs. Not able to bring your pets to my own home, but happy to hang with them at yours, take them out for long or short walks, and give them the love they deserve!
“Meredith was awesome. Very responsive and even came over for a meet and greet before booking which I really appreciated. I was able to enjoy a weekend away without worrying about my cat and will definitely rebook for my next trip!”
“Tayla was amazing checking in on my cats and did everything I requested plus more. Would definitely recommend!”
About: Although I don’t currently own a pet, I grew up with a dog and am a loving dog uncle. I also love cats and always seek compassion and care for wildlife! My current schedule is very free, as I was recently discharged from the military and will be starting grad school in September. Until then, I am just looking for new things to do! I’m willing to do whatever is needed, within reason of course! With my military background, my attention to detail is one of my strongest traits, and I’ll ensure I provide only the best care for your beloved pet.
About: I have had a dog all my life. I recently got a dog and have taken care of him since he was a puppy. I have the experience, knowledge, and expertise to do my job correctly and professionally. I have always loved animals. I am excited to meet your dog! I am pretty flexible and can change my times/rates depending on the client. I do have a dog, but he is crate trained if need be. He loves other dogs and has been socialized from a young age. Super friendly, just like me! I hope you will choose me! I am a trustworthy individual just looking to make a some side money for living expenses. I promise to take care of your animal as if it were my own!

Anthony L.
“Anthony is the IDEAL pet caregiver!! Having tried several sitters who just did not work out, I came across Anthony and entrusted him with the care of my French Bulldog (King). As many of us understand how delicate our funny-breathing friends can be, especially at a young age, to my pleasant surprise and enjoyment, each time Anthony cared for him he provided EXTRAORDINARY service that was unmatched based on my previous experiences! Honestly, at a point, I thought my little man loved him more than he loved me, ha! My pup is now 4 years old and Anthony continues to provide the same care that is just as attentive and considerate as the care he provided when King was just 5 months old. Anthony is certainly the best of the best and I'm so grateful to have him caring for my little guy!”
Cameo T.
“Cameo cares deeply about all animals and is reliable and flexible! Cameo is trustworthy and an awesome and good person to trust your babies with!”
