This was my first experience with Rover and will definitely use it again! Callie was very communicative and sent photo updates of the cats. One had some unforseen health issues a few days before I left, Callie was great about keeping me updated on how he was doing so I didn't have to worry.

We had Randi watch our cats for the first time this past week. Randi kept us up-to-date with pictures and notes and our cats were well taken care of. One cat needs medication and he was great on our return. Very reliable!

Sinan was wonderful with my puppy, Rosie! He was communicative, friendly, and clearly great with young dogs. He was also incredibly accommodating when my errands ran later than expected, which I truly appreciated. I’ll absolutely be using his services again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. 🐶✨

This was our first time working with Sydney and we couldn’t be happier that she’s a new friend in our cat’s life! During our initial visit, we could tell that Sydney was such a kind and good person. Through all of the updates and she pictures sent over, we could see that our cat was very happy and felt loved, which is all you can ask for while away.

Jj is such a fantastic catsitter! She is incredibly caring and thorough, making sure both you and your pets feel comfortable and well taken care of. She's able to navigate any difficult situations that may arise and will always treat your pets as if they were her own. I always feel at ease knowing Jj is caring for my furry crew while I'm away. Highly recommend!

Lukis was AMAZING! They sent such kind messages with their daily check-ins and made us feel completely at ease. They did a brilliant job caring for our two cats - one of whom needed a daily pill and the other who needed a daily inhaler. Even our shy cat felt comfortable with them, which is a big deal. We would 100% work with them again and again. 10/10 would recommend!

Breanna was great! We would definitely book her cat sitting services again! We left for 4 days over Thanksgiving and Breanna took care of our 2 cats during that time. We received photo/video and the cats were very happy when we arrived home. Breanna also swept up the bits of kitty litter so we arrived to a clean space as well. Appreciate the extra care she took!

Jeannette has been incredible with our two kitties, Biscuit and Beignet. She has sent so many pictures showing them receiving so much love and being so excited she was there, which have alleviated any of our guilt for leaving them home alone while we went on vacation. Benny has only been adopted for a couple of months and is typically very skittish around new people and he immediately warmed up and wanted pets and to sit with Jeannette. Thank you so much for taking care of our boys!

Chelsea did an amazing job watching our cats! She had great communication (clear, prompt, kind) both before the booking and during the drop in visits, which was very appreciated! One of our cats is a bit spicy, and the other is super shy, and she did a great job respecting their boundaries while also trying to make sure they were comfy. She clearly is very familiar with cats and has a lot of experience with them. I would recommend Chelsea to anyone who needs a great cat sitter!

About: I’ve been taking care and training dogs since I was young. I have patience with senior care for older dogs and can offer additional support with training younger pups. I recently graduated from college and work part time, I am a morning person and prefer to get up and active earlier in the day. I live in a gated community right next to a large dog park. I have two lovely and friendly dogs currently in home with me and crate trained.

About: Almost all of my experience as a dog owner and sitter is with dogs that have come from shelters or other adopted situations. I have owned “retired” greyhounds that were severely traumatized, I have cared for small dogs with unknown, but clearly extremely difficult, past traumas, and I have stayed and bonded with boxers and pit bulls who are slow to trust but then become bed-hogging cuddlers! Recently, I had my first experience helping train a puppy! I spent five months with a family and their sweet cavipoo house training and leash training. I teach from home and so I am always home! Well, except for the occasional errand, appointment, etc. So, I would love the extra company and the excuse to get out of the house and get some exercise! I live in an apartment building so I do not have a fenced yard. However, I live on Lafayette Park where I walk daily. It is incredibly safe and I have gotten to know many of the pet parents in the building and the neighborhood. I have two five month old kittens that I adopted from a foster home two months ago where they lived with a dog. I am hoping to keep them exposed to other animals so that when I have a larger place, I will be able to expand my family of pets.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Growing up around them taught me everything I needed to know about their moods, needs, and the little quirks that make each one special. Most recently, I had the joy of caring for a friend’s puppy full-time for six months, and that experience only deepened my love for the job. From daily walks and bath time to feeding routines and training sessions, I’m comfortable handling it all. Whether your pup is a laid-back lounger or a high-energy handful, I’ve got the patience and experience to meet them right where they are. When your dog is with me, they’re family! As a recent college grad working fully remote this summer, I have more flexibility than ever and I love every second of it. My days and weekends are wide open, which means your pup will never feel rushed or overlooked. Whether it’s a midday walk, an afternoon play session, or just some good old couch cuddles, I’m here and fully present. No squeezing visits in between a packed schedule, your dog gets my undivided attention:) I provide dog sitting exclusively at your home, meaning your pup stays in their own familiar environment, surrounded by everything they already know and love. No adjustment period, no added stress. I’m extremely detail oriented, so nothing slips past me when it comes to your dog’s safety and well-being. From securing doors and gates to following feeding schedules and medication routines to the letter, you can trust that every little detail will be handled with care.

Sydney did a great job watching my senior cat Jack. He mainly needs attention, and she spent the full 30-minute session after basic needs were taken care of giving him cuddles and spending time with him. I came back to find everything in order and a happy cat. I would absolutely book her again and recommend her!

I could not have asked for a better sitter for my cats. Dan was wonderful. He had to administer meds and feed them. He provided me multiple updates daily. My house was safe. He must have created a safe space because my cats stopped hiding from him and let him pick them up. I will forever be thankful for Dan. I was really stressed as my one cat was ill before I left but Dan made me feel so much better about leaving. Well worth the price
