“Tara was amazing! She sent me so many pictures during my trip and left very detailed notes. She’s very friendly and trustworthy. My cats loved her! Will be using her for future trips.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing taking care of Penny for the day. Penny was so comfortable with her and Sarah was very calm and relaxed in her approach. Thank you so much Sarah”
“Taylor was seriously the best cat sitter ever. We have three cats, including one super shy one and another who needs meds, so I was a little nervous going in. But Taylor handled it all like a pro. Our usual scaredy cat loved her and didn’t hide once. Meanwhile, the one who needs meds turned into the shy, grumpy one and hid under the couch the whole time. Taylor literally laid on the hard floor just to spend time near her and still figured out a way to get her meds in without stressing her out. That alone deserves a medal. She was super kind, respectful, and clearly cared about making our cats feel safe and comfortable. She went above and beyond every single day. I’m so glad we went with her and we’ll 100% be booking her again if we ever need a sitter. Seriously cannot recommend her enough.”
“Keely was great and did amazing with Ruby. This was just a drop in for her to get to know her for future jobs. Keely was very thorough in asking what her needs are and making sure she was prepared. Looking forward to having her watch Ruby in the future.”
“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.”
“Five stars! Phenomenal! I hope she will become a regular sitter.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful! Our two cats appeared to absolutely love Elizabeth in all the check-in photos we got, which were the best we ever received. We don't like leaving our cats to go away, but Elizabeth made me feel so comfortable during the week we were gone and we will certainly be booking again in the future. Thank you!”
“Great sitter! Took care of our cats really well! Would definitely book again!”
“Sam was fantastic. She was able to capture a photo of my most skittish kitten eating which made my trip MUCH easier (she will often not eat when I’m away). The cats litter was well taken care of.”
“Nick dropped in to check on our pitbull Rainbow while we were gone for the day. Appreciated that he sent plenty of pics and she seemed very happy and well looked after. Thanks Nick!”
“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.”
“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! 🥰”
“Alycia was very friendly and took great care of my cat while I was gone! I can tell she really cared about my pet’s happiness while I was away.”
“Ceanna took care of our two house rabbits while we were away for the holidays. Rabbits are exotic animals and have different needs than dogs/cats. We were so happy with her and she followed all our directions to a T! Would highly recommend Ceanna.”
“Stephanie is awesome and treated our dog like one of her own. She is very trustworthy and was great at communicating. Will work with her again for sure!”
About: Hi there, I'm Robin! I love animals, and recently lost my dog to old age. I'm not quite ready to find myself another furbaby, but I have so much love to give, that I thought I'd fill the void with pet sitting. I still have an older cat at home, which is why at this time, I'm not boarding in my home. I've owned several cats and dogs over the past 30 some odd years. During that time, I've dealt with their health issues like kidney disease and diabetes. Because of the care I've given my own pets, I am well versed in giving oral medications, eye drops, special diets, and injections (both subcutaneous and muscular). I'm lucky enough to have a pretty open schedule, only working one or two days a week, so I will be available most of the time to keep your pets company, take them for walks, and give them their meals on their schedule, not mine. I can also do drop ins pretty freely, if that's what you prefer. I am retired, although I took a job that gets me out of the house and talking to people one or two days a week, because I needed the interactions. I'll be able to spend most, if not all, days and nights caring for your pets. I know how important our fur babies are! I will care for and love on yours just as if they were mine. I'll follow your guidelines and schedules, so your pets will be as comfortable as they can be until your return.
“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!”
About: I have experience fostering for the humane society. I have a German shepherd at home and used to own a Siberian husky. I have fostered both puppies and kittens I work from home full-time so I can give your pet plenty of potty breaks and give them a walk on my lunch if needed I have a fenced in yard that your dog can play in. I also live close to a park that we can go to. I have a friendly German shepherd who likes to play with other dogs. I will treat your pet like they are my own and let them make themselves at home.
“Had a great experience having Heather watch our pets! She gave great updates and was so glad I could count on her to be there while out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Alexis checked in on our cat while we were away for a week. She was very respectful of our home and it was nice to have our boy see someone while we were gone. We will definitely rebook the next time we go out of town.”

Robin A.
“My dog is my fur baby and I really hate having to leave her. My dog is also a one person dog so it's really hard to find someone that my dog likes. Robin is that person. Robin gave me updates multiple times throughout the day as well as pictures. She asked plenty of questions beforehand and by the second day my dog was completely happy and cuddling with Robin. I will definitely use Robin anytime I have to travel. She treated my dog like she was her own. Can't say enough good things about my experience.”
