“Catherine is absolutely amazing!!!! She conveyed in details my cat’s behavior and eating amounts plus she was incredibly kind to put out my trash before the hurricane. Thank you 😊 ♥️”
“Caroline was wonderful! She was prompt and communicative and she asked for my expectations about updates while I was out of town, that really stood out to me. When I got home, my cat was perfectly happy and content! He gets and anxious when left alone overnight, and Caroline kept him happy and calm. I highly recommend her!”
“I’m so glad I found Katy on Rover! She checked in on my kitty for me while I was out of town for over a week. Katy sent me daily reports and multiple pictures with each report. It was comforting to know that my baby was well cared for while I was gone. I would highly recommend Katy to provide outstanding care for your pet!!”
“Jenna was very communicative while taking care of my 2 cats while I was away for vacation. I have one very friendly cat and one that is very shy. She catered to both of their personalities perfectly! You can tell she has a lot of experience taking care of cats and it really shows! This was my first time using rover and I’m glad we had a great experience!”
“Faviana took my reservation last minute on the 4th of July. I got stuck on a flight coming back home and she not only responded quickly, she made sure she grabbed the details needed to take the best care of my babies. She went above and beyond. She is sweet, kind, reliable and communicative. I will definitely trust her with my babies again. ❤️”
“Absolutely fantastic dog sitter! She took wonderful care of my pups, sending regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. My dogs were very happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved. Highly professional, reliable, and genuinely caring-couldn’t recommend more! Will definitely book again.”
“Lori is a great sitter. She sits with my cat baby and spends the full time hanging out with my animals. She sends pics and is a good communicator. I highly recommend her and look to book her every time!”
“Kari went above and beyond while watching Wyatt and Fritz. My AC broke while I was out of town and she brought a portable unit to keep the house comfortable for the dogs and made extra trips to check on them. Plus the dogs absolutely loved her.”
“Gina is awesome! Super reliable, flexible, communicates very well, 10/10”

About: Hi! I'm your local Sanford pet sitter/walker. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, small domesticated birds, and chickens. In my home, your dog will have a place to relax, play, and be happy. Your pup won’t just be a guest—they’ll be family. No cramped kennels or long hours alone. They’ll have the run of the house, plenty of outdoor time, belly rubs, treats, and all the love they could ask for. Need to book last minute? If I’ve got the space, I’m happy to make it work! I also offer house-sitting, drop-in visits, pick-up/drop-off, and dog walking, within range of service. A brief Meet & Greet is required prior to sitting for all new clients to assure compatibility. Every morning we take walks and frequently a second walk after work. Since I work remotely and am home nearly all the time, your dog will always have company and attention throughout the day. We have a limit of 2 dogs so your dog gets the full care and attention it needs. We have policies in place to make sure dogs, who are escape artists, aren’t able to make a run for it, we space feeding time and walking time as research has shown eating prior to a meal can cause bloating and other complications. It’s my mission your dog is safe at all times so you can worry less when your dog is not with you.
“Ashley was the best. Very reliable and trustworthy. She stayed in constant contact which relieved my anxiety. Undoubtedly, I will use her again!!!”
“My dog is always taken care of very well with Zanaja! I continue to use her and would definitely recommend!”
“Alycia is wonderful! She is caring and very reliable. Our cat Lucy is lovable but does not take to everyone easily. She befriended Alycia immediately (cats are very good judge of character) :-) I highly recommend Alycia. We will be using her again!”
“I’ve booked Clint multiple times now to care for my cat at my apartment while I’ve been away for work. His communication is prompt and courteous and he provides me with regular updates. I intend to keep using Clint as a cat-sitter with the comfort of knowing I will return home to a happy and healthy cat!”
“I had to travel out of state for a week. Douglania dropped in at my house every evening as I had asked, to feed my cat Clove, change out her drinking water, clean her litter box and to play with Clove as well. While I was away I received many photos, videos and updates every day of Clove and I could tell Clove was very happy. It gave me peace of mind to know that Clove would be checked on every day and given some love. Douglania took great care of my cat Clove and I would for sure use her services again in future.”
“Super happy with Zoey!! First time leaving our cat. We were nervous but she gave us updates as well as pictures. She loved on our Hazel!! Five Stars and would recommend her!!!”
About: Dogs are our best friends and I’ve had several over my life. I’ve taken care of senior dogs and dogs with medical conditions who need extra love and medicine. I understand our furry friends need attention and exercise to be the best versions of themselves - like we do! I was diagnosed with a rare cancer a couple of years ago and my toy poodle, Toby, played a big part in my recovery! I have been blessed to work from home which is where I will be the majority of the time to watch over your baby. I may very occasionally need to leave the house for brief errands, but will never be gone very long. We have cameras in our home to keep an eye on things while away. We try to have a good routine so as not to cause a lot of stress and uncertainty. We recently had a portion of our yard astroturfed and fenced, creating an awesome play space for our own toy poodle and any friends! I am always supervising play outside and we take appropriate breaks for rest and behavior training.
About: I am very knowledgeable with different cat breeds, especially Devon Rex and tabby’s. I had experience with both bush, dwellers and tree dwelling friends. I am always happy to help. I am available nearly every weekend, especially during school breaks! Emma full-time teacher so my work environment can be flexible. Please message me for more details. I have two large braid dogs that I have both trained and cared for for five years. I make sure to have an active routine with plenty of time for breaks. I am familiar with older breeds and conditions such as hip dysplasia that requires medicine. I am extremely organized and how I approached my work.

Kathleen has done a wonderful job taking care of my fur baby Gwen Gwen. Kathleen is very kind and loving and so communicative about every visit and very responsive to my cat’s needs. She’s above and beyond in her service and I’m so grateful for having her to take care of my cat. Thank you so much!
Zoey was wonderful! My cat is very shy, and she was able to pet him. He seemed very comfortable with her. She sent me daily pictures, and was always there.
Another great booking! Thankful Lilly makes going away so much easier knowing Stewie is in good hands!
