Tyler did a fabulous job caring for our 2 cats and 1 dog. He send us pictures taken during his visits, also texted us each time with an update on their status. There was a point we were worried about our dog, she wouldn’t eat her breakfast or lunch time snack. For dinner she ate and was playful with Tyler. He let me know right away with pictures to assure me she ok. I would definitely use Tyler again and again. I will recommend to my neighbors as well. Thank you, Lois

Sarah was great and took good care of our boys. She made sure they went out, got some exercise, and secured them in their crates before leaving our home. She provided great communications and pictures during her drop-in visit. Would definitely utilize her again.

Erin did an amazing job checking in on our two cats while we were on vacation! Although they are quite shy, Erin took the time to seek them out and spend time talking to them when they did not want to be petted. Updates and photos were timely and thorough. Would not hesitate to ask Erin to check in on them again in the future!

Madison was very sweet and caring with my cat, giving him lots of attention and even bringing toys to play with him. She would send lots of pictures and videos and I could see my cat loved her and was having a great time! I would definitely have her take care of Torri again!

About: I’ve been animal sitting for about a year and a half now I love doggy babies! My experience goes from boarding at the owner’s house for up to three weeks or just drop in visits whatever’s needed of me. I can move my schedule around for you! If your dog likes to chill I can chill if they like to play let’s play! I currently work part-time and I’m not in school so I’m able to move my schedule around to fit the needs of others! As long as it’s the day I have available While I don’t have a dog I’m able to learn whatever is required to be meet your dogs needs. If they need help all I need is for you to tell me how to help them and they’ll be taken care of!

Jo is incredible, and I feel so lucky to have found her. She takes such thoughtful, loving care of Jake every single visit. She plays with him, gives him tons of affection, and always makes sure he gets outside time to explore. I love that she even updates me on the things he forages in the backyard — it shows how closely she pays attention to him. She keeps his water fresh, gives him his ice‑cube snacks, and sends the cutest photo updates. I feel at ease knowing he’s with her. Thank you, Jo!

Ashley has been amazing! She took care of our two cats while we were on vacation for 10 days. She came in every day, made sure their food bowls were full, filled water in ghe fountain, and took care of their litter box. The cats loved her and warmed up to her instantly, even Coco who is a shy kitten! Ashley spent an hour with them every day, playing and cuddling, and also sent us pictures. We were anxious of leaving them alone, but after the first set of pictures , we knew the kitties were in good hands. We could enjoy our holiday fully knowing the cats were well taken care of! Would love to have Ashley take care of our babies again ♥️

Lindsay was amazing! She watched our 3 cats while we were away and took such great care of them. She was extremely prompt on arriving each day and would stay extra long to give them all the attention and love they needed. She would even go out of her way to go find one of them if they were hiding under a bed to make sure they were ok. Our cats all have very different personalities and Lindsay was great at reading those and giving each cat the attention or space it needed. She took all the stress away from us being away and we knew our kitties were in great hands! On top of all the kitty duties, she was also great at grabbing our mail everyday, bringing out trash bins and keeping the house clean and tidy! We would highly recommend Lindsay and use her again! Thanks Lindsay!

This was my first experience with a Rover pet sitter. Angela impressed me immediately during our meet and greet when all 3 of my cats allowed her to pet and interact with them. She was so good with them, asked questions, followed my care directions perfectly. I received pictures every day. Angela clearly love animals! I highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again.

We were just gone a few days, and Callahan did a great job, and sent lots of pictures. Jean Luc got plenty of brushing, and Jaeger sat on her lap! (He's usually nervous around strangers.) I would definitely hire her again.

Erin does an amazing job taking care of our two kitties while we’re away. She gives them lots of attention, and the detailed report cards with photos always reassure us that they’re happy and well cared for. We especially appreciated that she took the time to message us when one of our cats was wheezing a bit — it showed how attentive and thoughtful she is. We would highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thanks for everything Erin!
