Amanda did a great job with our high-energy 4-year-old Mabel and keeping an eye on our place. Very communicative about how Mabel was doing in our absence.

We cannot recommend Adam enough as a house/dog sitter. It is always so hard to find someone trustworthy enough to stay in our home and take care of our amazing boy. Adam was communicative, trustworthy, and reliable allowing for us to have a relaxing vacation knowing that our pup was safe. We have a 2 year old doberman who is not always the quickest to warm up to people, however he took to Adam quickly and truly enjoy his stay with him. In addition, the house was in excellent condition when we returned and Loki was happy and well exercised. Will absolutely book Adam again for future sitting opportunities and strongly recommend him to sit your pup.

Tina is so amazing that we want to keep her all to ourselves! ♥️ But that seems unfair so here you go… 1. Tina is a joy in person. Such a lovely human and easy to talk to. 2. She’s so good with dogs that she was completely unfazed by our big wildly energetic lab. They were immediate best friends and ready for adventure. 3. It’s so hard to find someone who is wonderful with cats too and cat would seem to be Tina’s second language. We came home to a blissed out cat who was energetic, lovey, and even put on a little much needed weight. Tina pays very close attention to an individual pet’s needs and our old special needs kitty is totally in love with her. 4. Pictures! Updates! 🎉 We had a consistent and lovely view of happy pets. 5. We are now calling her the immaculate house guest. Everything, and I mean everything, was pristine when we returned. It looked like a huge team of cleaners had been through the house. What an especially wonderful way to come home. All of that said, do not book Tina! We want her all to ourselves. 😉♥️

We really appreciate how well Ryan cared for our labradoodle and our home during two weeks that we were away. He communicated regularly and we found both the dog and our house in great shape on our return. He is trustworthy, attentive to detail and really “cared for” our fur baby. Thank you Ryan!

Bill was absolutely outstanding. He stayed at our place while we’re out of the country for a little over a week. He took incredible care of our two golden retrievers and sent many updates and pictures of them. He was prompt and took great care of our house while we were away. We will definitely be booking Bill again for his services!

Maria did a great job caring for Blu and Leo during her stay. She was attentive, communicative, and patient, especially with Blu’s crate training. I appreciated how smoothly the evening went and how she kept me updated throughout the night. I’d happily have her sit for my pets again!

Meghan was absolutely amazing! We were looking for someone who could handle our energetic floof, and we are so happy we found Meghan. She was extremely responsive, sent daily photos and updates and had our house cleaner than when we left it. We could tell our pup was well cared for, got lots of walks, loves, snuggles and treats. We can’t recommend Meghan enough!

So happy to have found Nico through Rover. We can now leave our dogs and feel confident that they are being well-cared for. Nico kept us informed with photos and texts, and the dogs had a blast with him. Nico's love of dogs is matched by his knowledge of different behaviors and how to handle them. We couldn't be more satisfied. We 100% recommend him and our dogs give two paws up!

Shannon is the very best pet sitter!! She is so good with our very needy pit bull and our very shy cat! Our dog had an injury before we left and we would have had to cancel our trip if we didn’t have Shannon for a sitter. She’s so attentive, patient and kind and it gives us such peace of mind when we are away. My pets love her. When we get home, our dog sits by the window for a couple of days looking for her!! She also sends lots of photos (professional quality!) and updates throughout her stay. We highly recommend her!

We’ve used Nikki’s pet sitting services several times now. Nikki always takes such good care of our dog Georgie. He’s older and requires a bit of extra care and Nikki is always there to help accommodate his needs. We appreciate how attentive she is and makes sure Georgie has everything he needs while we’re away. Her updates always include the cutest photos and great recaps of what their day was like. 10/10 - Would recommend Nikki to anyone!

Larry watched our 2 senior pups for a long weekend. We were nervous as this was our first time using Rover but Larry made it a breeze! He came out for a meet and greet and read through my overly detailed instructions ahead of time. He sent us daily pics and updates and even brought the mail in. We have never come home to such chilled out dogs after a trip. We would definitely recommend Larry to anyone looking for some quality care for their pets.

About: Hello, I’m Kay, a veterinary technician with 8 years of experience offering professional in-home drop-in care. With nearly a decade in veterinary medicine, I bring both compassion and clinical expertise to every visit. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. Over the past 8 years, I have gained extensive experience administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, as well as supporting pets with chronic conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, and arthritis. Beyond medical care, I closely monitor for changes in appetite, hydration, behavior, or mobility—subtle details that can be especially important for pets with ongoing health needs. During drop-in visits, I can provide:     •    Feeding and fresh water refills     •    Litter box cleaning or basic waste removal     •    Medication administration (oral, topical, injectable)     •    Chronic condition support and monitoring     •    General wellness checks (hydration, appetite, comfort level)     •    Visit reports with notes and photos for your reassurance In addition, I am trained to recognize early signs of distress and respond appropriately in urgent situations. If an emergency arises, I can provide immediate first aid and ensure your pet receives prompt veterinary attention. Every animal I care for is treated with the same respect and attention I would give my own. Whether your pet is a healthy, playful companion or one who requires a bit of extra medical support, you can trust that I’ll bring reliability, knowledge, and compassion to every visit. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I’m able to provide consistent, reliable visits throughout the week. I build my schedule around my clients’ needs, making sure every pet gets attention, medication, and care exactly when they need it. I provide attentive, personalized care in your pet’s familiar environment. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter box or waste cleanup, play and enrichment, medication administration, and monitoring for any changes in health or behavior. I treat every pet with the same compassion and professionalism I would my own, and I provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

My partner and me went on a trip and asked Ricky to house sit our dog and cat for the weekend. Ricky gave me tons of updates and photos throughout her stay! She took wonderful care of the house as well as our animals. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived home and our babies were happy and relaxed when we made it home. I'd recommend her to anyone and will surely be asking her to house sit anytime I need it. Thanks, Ricky!!

Tina was amazing! Our pup was diagnosed with an infected paw the day she started, so there was a level of care required neither of us had anticipated. Tina was completely unfazed. She took great care of our pup, administered meds, and kept in good communication with us with questions and updates. Would certainly book again!

Shannon did an amazing job with Rocco. He is a very anxious and nervous dog, and she was very patient with him. It was so nice to be able to travel without stressing about him. I even came home to clean laundry, which was so nice! I highly recommend Shannon - she is very caring and an obvious pet lover!

Kristen is a seriously dreamy A++ Rover sitter. I would love to hire her again! Communication was super smooth and easy. She took excellent care of our dog and was game to take a different dog that I normally care for on her usual walk. Turns out that wasn’t needed but I so appreciate her willingness to help me out in that way. The doggie photos she sent were so good as well. Book her now before her calendar is full.
