“Kiersten was my first Rover sitter for my princess Tortie. She was super flexible and understanding given the short notice and accommodated to my apartments security. She went above and beyond with photos and quality time spent with my kitty. I went from having tremendous anxiety leaving my pet and home alone to a stranger to looking forward to her updates with my cat. I would/will 1000% book again.”

“So grateful for Abby and her communication and detailed attention and care for my two cats. She was a natural with them from the beginning and was able to easily administer a med while I was away.

19. Zoe J.
About: I've had pets of all kinds and ages my whole life. I'm adept at distributing medicine, calming storm nerves, bathing, and snuggles. I've taken care of puppies and senior dogs alike. I've trained my own dogs on leash walking and standard commands. I've taken care of large breed and small breed dogs. I have 2 dogs currently, and a full stack of cats as well, so I'm familiar with a blended fur-family. I go to community college locally and work part time so I have a good amount of time to hang out with your fuzzier members of your family! I take care of my parent's house so they can both work and leaves me with a flexible schedule. I offer overnight sitting in your house so that your pets can be as comfortable as possible in their own familiar surroundings. Changes of routine can be confusing for dogs and cats and sometimes it's just easier for them if they have a buddy hanging out with them!
20. Cindy K.
“Cindy was very accommodating with a short notice visit. . She gladly stepped in with only a few days notice. She sent pictures and texts which gave us peace of mind that our dog, Ryder was receiving great care. I will definitely use her again in the future and highly recommend her for pet care.”
