Brandi took great care of my 2 cats while I was away for a week. As someone who gets very nervous about leaving my babies behind when traveling it was nice to know that they were in good hands ☺️

Twice Andy looked after our three cats while we were away for a little under a week each time. She was perfectly on time for our first meet-and-great, asked good questions during that meeting and connected well with the kitties. Well, that first time only two of three kitties really, as the last is super shy. However, the shy one warmed up to Andy during our absence, and if that's not an endorsement, I don't know what is. Andy provided nice updates while we were away, and everything was clean when we returned.

I was gone for a week for a family reunion/vacation out of state. It was super hot, so I was worried about my Halley. Came home to a friendly, energetic, and well-hydrated cat. Apparently, Halley also requested lots of head rubs, so she warmed up to Madison pretty well. So happy I found someone I can trust with my fur baby.

About: I used to be on rover with my mom as dog sitters. We had a lot of happy customers many of whom would book with us multiple times. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I am available for dog walking and drop in visits. I may or may not be able to do walks every day of the week depending on what time the dog goes for a walk. When I am taking care of a pet wether it’s someone else’s or my own I do my very best to ensure that animal is get everything they could possibly need to be happy and thriving.

I was hesitant to leave my fur baby for so long and I had a long list of information, but Lashay put my mind at ease and made sure that Bacardi was well taken care of! Somehow Bacardi also got along with Lashay’s cat, Leo which is great since I didn’t know how Bacardi was around other cats! Will definitely reach out to her again if I have to leave town for a long period of time.

About: Hi, I’m Bethany! I’ve been caring for pets professionally for over 10 years, and I truly treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or other furry friends, I’m experienced with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and special needs. From energetic puppies to laid-back seniors, I’ve worked with them all and love every minute of it. I’m also a stay-at-home mom to a sweet baby boy who comes with me on all visits. He’s still little, so he’ll either be in a stroller or being worn in a baby carrier—always calm, quiet, and close to me. Your pet will still receive my full attention, love, and care, with a gentle, nurturing presence alongside us. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Let’s set up a meet and greet—I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help! I am a stay at home mom so that I can attend to your babies at any given time or help out in an emergency! I can provide for your babies with drop in visits or dog walking! I will provide everything you may need plus got the extra mile for you! I love on each pet as it my own, and send lots of pictures and updates!!

About: Hey everyone I'm Ella and I've always had a house hold full of pets. Growing up my parents allowed a wide variety of animals to stay in our home. I love animals so much that I'm going in to a career field that is dedicated solely on the help of marine organisms. I currently live with a dog, cat, bearded dragon, leopard gecko and a ton of fish. So basically I can care for any pet needed. I work part time so I have a ton of free time on my hands. I’m trying to find better ways to spend my time rather than always going out. Hanging with any pet is always so fun and usually a better time then going out to begin with! Each pets different, all come with special likes and dislikes. I usually love to take dogs for walks but some may not be able to walk, and in those situations I like to do mind puzzles. For pet sitting I’d come over to the clients home and spend a few hours with them unless it’s a sleep away care. Pet walks would last min 30 minutes just to give the dogs some fresh air longer than normally done during days.

About: I have had pets my whole life. I have had cats and dogs of all types since I was a kid. I have experience with a range of dogs from puppies, to seniors, to dogs with disabilities. I currently have three cats and a dog with my partner. I am comfortable with administering oral medications. I am currently not working and hoping to make a daily routine of pet care. I have full availability and am able to accommodate any needs your pet may have. Trust and safety between pet parents and I is vital to me. I take care in keeping people's pets and homes safe, and I am prepared to treat your pets and home with the utmost care.

About: I am a professional, certified dog trainer and I want to bring my skills and passion for pet care to your aid. I have 15 years professional experience working with dogs and 12 years of training under my belt (mostly positive training, no force or intimidation!) I can drop in for potty breaks, or feed and water your pup. I can administer medications and change bandages as I have been trained to do. On walks we can head to the Janesville dog park for the trails or stroll around town depending on your location. If your dog is safe off leash we can even throw in a game of fetch for added running benefits! I can care for more than just dogs, too! I have experience with numerous exotic pets (snakes, lizards, rats, rabbits, and much more!) as well as horses and other farm critters! Chickens, pigs, and others. If you need pet care for your non-dog or cat animals contact me! I will pet sit small caged animals in my home. I will provide photos during my time with your pooch as well, so you can see how their doing and know they are safe and happy! Please NO retractable leashes! If you do not have a standard 4 or 6 foot leash I will use my own to walk your pup! Let me care for your dog when you can't - feed and water, medications, or just cuddles. I'm here to help you, help your pet. Pet Sitting is my only and primary income source and I book up fast! Schedule me sooner rather than later to get the spots you need. Dogs are let out to potty in the location you choose. I will clean up any mess they may have left, especially puppies. I can also give medications or clean cages of small animals. For farm animals, I will feed, water, and can give medicine.

About: I grew up in a family that always had dogs, ranging from small dogs (like Chihuahuas) to big dogs (like German Wirehairs). As a child, I took on dog training experience through my local 4-H group and pursued that for a large portion of my early education career. Since then, I have always been a lover of dogs and have taken on many responsibilities, not only for my family dogs, but for my roommate’s dogs as well. Any care and love your dog needs, I would be happy to provide it! I’m available for pet care during the week and on weekends from the end of June through early September. Whether you need drop-in visits or overnight home stays, I’m happy to help, just please be sure to book in advance so I can plan accordingly! I kindly ask for at least one day’s notice for cancellations. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Please note: I do not offer dog care in my own home as I live in an apartment. However, I’m happy to provide in-home care at your residence for both dogs and cats! For dogs, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, including regular walks, outdoor playtime (at a nearby dog park or fenced yard), and bathroom breaks every 30–60 minutes based on their needs. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you provide to keep your pup happy and comfortable. For cats, I offer attentive and respectful care, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and affection (if your cat is the cuddly type!). I understand feline behavior and know how to give them the space or snuggles they prefer. Whatever your pet needs, I’m here to help while keeping their routine as stress-free as possible!

When I moved to Key West last year I had no idea who I was going to trust with my Italian Greyhound, Flash. He can be a little needy at times and this is why I don’t board him. The time came when I had to fly to Texas for a week and was introduced to Beth. She seemed perfect so I took Flash over to meet her and he seemed right at home. Beth is very trustworthy and Flash adores her! He gets so excited when we drive up to her home. Since then Flash has stayed with Beth several times and I never worry about his well being while he’s in Beth’s care. He comes home relaxed and happy and I would never think of taking him anywhere else!

Great experience! Hobbes (our cat) loved Russ & Lisa and we loved the updates and pics they sent us of his stay. Thank you so much!

Jennifer was excellent! She came to my apartment as described and dropped-in on my cat while I was away. She sent pictures during each visit and was responsive to text messages when something changed. I would definitely recommend her.

    Read verified reviews by cat parents like you and choose a sitter who’s a great match for you and your cat
  2. 2. Meet & Greet

    Meet either virtually or in-person with a sitter to discuss the level of care needed for your cat while you’re away
  3. 3. Book & Pay

    All payments are processed through Rover’s secured platform and your booking is backed by 24/7 support. It’s that easy!
