“This was my second time having Samantha take care of cats. She sends lots of pictures, so I never wonder if things are going okay. She also was kind enough to feed my somewhat feral outdoor cat who decided to make a surprise appearance. I will definitely use her again”
About: I care for my four cats at home and have taken care of dogs for my neighbors and friends. I like giving individual care to every pet I care for and ensuring your daily routines are kept with your pet. I interact, play, and take care of my pets nearly all day. Daily feedings, cleaning, and keeping of general well-being are part of my daily routine. I try to stay consistent with your routine for your pet to create a familiar environment for your furry friend. Whether drop-in care, overnight stays, or walks, I put effort into maintaining the environment that is right for your pet.
“Alyssa is absolutely AMAZING!! She took my booking at the very last minute. She’s a God send!! Isla was clearly happy to make a new friend. I appreciate Alyssa’s prompt availability and excellent friendly service. She was thorough and informative just all around awesome!! So grateful for her service!”
“I was most pleased with leaving my cats with Katie for 2 weeks. She came by twice a day to feed and tend the litter box. She was punctual everyday and gave the cats the attention they needed. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Selena was able to watch my cat with only three days notice. My regular sitter canceled at the last minute before my vacation. My cat was happy and healthy when I returned home. The feeding schedules were a little different than he was used to because we were squeezed in at the last minute.”
“Hannah is so professional and clearly knows how to care for dogs! She kept in touch and sent photos. Our dog loved having her come and play while we were gone. She went above and beyond! Highly recommend!”
“Ashley was super communicative about my cat and sent photos every time she visited. She was reliable, friendly, and seemed to take a genuine interest in my not very friendly cat. I would definitely ask her to look after my pet again!”
“This was my first rover.com booking, and Kiera did a great job. We met briefly beforehand so that I could cover things like medication, and then she kept me updated as I was traveling with status reports and pictures of my cats.”

Hank sure enjoys the drop in visits from Michael. Michael checks the water, food, and litter - but then spends some quality time playing, petting, and interacting with Hank (and sending a few pics) . Michael's drop in visits during our last two vacations have been great,and we will use him again when available.
Selena was able to watch my cat with only three days notice. My regular sitter canceled at the last minute before my vacation. My cat was happy and healthy when I returned home. The feeding schedules were a little different than he was used to because we were squeezed in at the last minute.
Jade always takes excellent care of my pets! She is attentive to detail and always leaves my place the same (or better) than how I left it. My cat was congested this past stay and she even ran a hot shower to give him some time in a steam room to help him out. She consistently goes above and beyond!
