“Lauren was awesome on drop in visits and walks for us. Great communicator who let us know about a plumbing issue that arose while we were gone. We were very happy we booked again with her.”
“Mary went above and beyond to care for our cat. Our cat is very skiddish around new people, but Mary took her time to be patient and let Callie warm up to her. We really appreciated her thoroughness and reliability. Followed all instructions to a tee and provided great daily updates. Highly recommend booking Mary!”
“This is my 5th or 6th time using Liz. Every time she sends good pictures and her communication is great! Fast responses, clear pictures and happy dogs every time. I don’t recommend giving short notices if you don’t have to but my job is last minute demanding and she’s been the best at responding last minute.”
“Alan was excellent with my cat's and provided great communication! Rory is usually very shy and won't come out for anybody but he was able to coax him out and give him some pets! 🥰”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all different breeds and ages for several years. Most recently, I provided long term care for an elderly dog with high anxiety. She required extra patience and special care— two things that I would be able to provide your animal as well! I am available before or after work on weekdays for drop-in visits or walks. I am available full-time on weekends for the same two services. I offer updates to pet owners after every drop-in visit or walk. I prioritize safety and wellness with constant supervision and being mindful of my surroundings.
“Joanna takes good care of my kitty. She sent us some pictures during our travel. Thanks to her, our travel was with no worries. This is the first time I hire a pet sitter through Rover, and I am pretty satisfied.”
“Emma did a great job watching our kitty while we were away. I Loved getting photos of her and she looked like she was having a great time! Emma was very easy to get a hold of and very accommodating.”
“Sara did a fantastic job dropping in on my Charlie! She provided long walks and snuggles and her communication was top notch. I would definitely recommend Sara to anyone that needs their fur babies well taken care of while they’re away!”
“Missy was very communicative and caring to my cat. It was first time using a sitter for him. I was a bit nervous as we had just moved and worried my cat would not do well. Would definitely rebook with Missy!”
“Ashlea has been letting our 2 puppies out in the middle of the day for the last few weeks and has been fantastic. She has been flexible when my schedule changes and is completely reliable. We very much appreciate how she treats our dogs and highly recommend her.”
About: I have 3 dogs. I volunteer at a dog/ cat rescue. Animals are my passion. My one rescue has severe anxiety so I understand needs. Im an assistant principal so I have summers off. I am able to conduct 3 visits or more a day. I’m flexible outside of my school hours if not summertime. I am great at following directions. I will visit your pet, provide updates and ensure your pet feels the love while you’re away from them.
About: I've had dogs and cats in my house practically my entire life and have had the opportunity to watch friends' pets on multiple occasions. I have now been a part of the Rover Community for about 3 years. I am comfortable walking dogs, feeding and bathing and cleaning up after pets, as needed. I have a full-time job working 7 hours/day Monday-Friday so I am only available for weekend sitting services, unless your pet can be alone for long periods of time. Please feel free to reach out with any questions/concerns. I am available for house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walking in client's home after 3pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. These would include potty breaks, feeding, walking and bathing client's pets as needed. I am willing to stay overnight as well. I can not watch pets at my own house as my own cat does not do well with other animals.
“I am Very pleased with the care Kristen provided my cats. In addition to feeding and attending litter box needs, she also took the time to sit with my cats and provide them with some love and attention. The pictures received after each visit were greatly appreciated and helped me not worry about as much about them.”
“Did an amazing job and both of my animals were extremely comfortable with her, looking very excited to be walked and played with in all photos that were sent to us! Highly recommend for your next sitter!”
Riverwood cat parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover, and Lauran made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. She kept me updated daily with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond when any issues came up. I would absolutely book with her again!
Quintin did a great job watching our dog and cat over a 4 day period. The animals loved him and he was very compassionate and caring toward them. We have an older dog that requires medication and he did well providing that to her. He even came over 2 additional times to check on them one day. I would recommend him to watch dogs and cats. We will certainly be using him again!
