JJ is outstanding—animal care expertise, care for my pet and home, and communication. I’d recommend him to anyone, zero reservations. (Also, my cat jumps much higher now so I think he may be some type of cat athletic trainer.)

Lauren was awesome with our beloved cat Regan. She was punctual everyday for her drop in visits and spent extra time with Regan. Lauren was very professional. Regan is a senior cat with some health issues. Lauren was very conscientious when monitoring Regan’s medications and administration which helped us feel more comfortable . We will definitely be using her again.

Courtney is always so kind and detailed with her drop-in visits with our two cats. She’ll give updates on their behavior, how much food they ate, and what she did while she was visiting. We’re always happy to leave our cats in her care!

About: Hi! My name is Ebony, and I’m a college student pursuing a degree in Veterinary Technology. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and currently have a dog of my own, so caring for animals isn’t just a job… it’s my passion. With my background, I’m comfortable administering oral medications, recognizing changes in behavior, and responding appropriately in emergency situations. Cleanliness and organization are very important to me, and I always make sure your home and your pet’s space are left tidy. I am more than happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you always know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. ❤️ While I attend school full-time , my availability outside of classes is fully dedicated to your pet’s care. I currently offer in-home sitting and walking services so your pet can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their daily routine. I understand how important patience, consistency, and compassion are when it comes to building trust with both pets and their owners. I strictly follow all provided feeding schedules, dietary needs, medication instructions, and routines to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own home. Thank you for considering me as your sitter ❣️

About: I currently have two cats who are well taken care of and who I have administered medications to and cleaned up after. I also grew up around dogs and am well versed with handling dogs of different temperaments. I work full time but I am very free on the weekends and after work to care for pets. I am also free around lunch times on Monday and Friday. I am adept at handling cats and dogs in difficult situations. For dogs, I would put them in their crate for a cool down time. For cats, I usually prefer to put them in time out in a room or disengage ntil they are able to not be as overstimulated. I also like to re-direct energy using play so pets do not feel punished for their energy.

About: Hi there! After taking a brief break, I am so excited to be back on Rover and ready to love on your pups! I’ve been around dogs my entire life—from raising my own personal pets to caring for family dogs. I bring two years of prior Rover experience to the table, returning to pet care with a mature, reliable approach. To provide the best possible environment for your pet, I now focus entirely on house sitting and drop-in care at your residence. Your pup gets to stay in their familiar routine, and you get the peace of mind that your home and pet are in experienced, trustworthy hands while you're away! I’m currently working part time so plenty of time to play with your pup. My current schedule is that I’m available all day on the weekends and on the weekdays i’m available after four! I live in a nice walkable area near a Park which gives me plenty of time to walk and play with your pup outside during the summer days

Lauren is very reliable and a great communicator. It was such a relief when I had to be out of town for a graduation to have my babies looked in on and see their photos. She also put prescribed meds in the food and gave the one who takes a harness his time in the yard. Thank you again Lauren!

My dog needed oral meds daily and she was able to give with no issue at all! She even added cuddles with my pup as a cherry on top! Thank you Takia for the kind loving care towards my best friend. We will definitely be returning customers 🐶❤️

About: I have taken care of dogs of all breeds and ages, a leopard gecko, chickens, even ducks and my love for animals is always growing. Right now I am unemployed so I have plenty of time to have a nice walk with your buddy’s. Big or small I love them. I make sure my dog gets plenty of sun and exercise outside while feeding him his food with all the nutrients he needs, he’s thriving not surviving.

About: I have helped care for the family’s pets — cats, dogs, hamsters, iguanas, and a few friendly fish —since I was 5. As a teenager, I was happy to assist when a family friend asked me to pet sit, I was simply captivated by his canine! Since then, I have had opportunities to care for furry friends, short-term to watching a pet for a year when the owner was in college. I would be happy to continue learning alongside you, providing quality care to your beloved pet. P.s. Thank you for your patience as I take more photos of myself and pets! I work remotely with a flexible schedule; however, I am not available on Friday mid-day through Saturday. I am to provide compassionate and thorough care for your playful pup or your frisky feline. I love to peruse our many MetroParks and nature trails offered when I am not working remotely. When tending to pets, I employ proper techniques with patience. Upon home visits or home stays, I will ensure safety and security according to the client’s instructions and all other necessary preparations.

Kim was amazing! Our doggies love her and she was always on top of sending pictures/videos and updates. She made us feel like we didn’t have to worry about our fur babies while being out of town. She came prepared and asked questions about how to care for our doggies. She really treats them as if they were her own and it shows by how much our dogs enjoyed her watching them. Don’t hesitate to book with Kim! We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!

About: To me, every pet is a noble creation of nature we should treat with respect and compassion. I believe every pet should live a full life of happiness and fun, and I treat all pets the way I treat my own. I work from home all week, so I always have extra energy at the end of the day to go out. It's a perfect opportunity to get out and enjoy the day while helping a pet have some time and exercise. I don't currently have a home great for boarding dogs as my yard is too small, and my house has a feisty cat as well.

About: It’s simple. I just love dogs. I love my dog. I’ve had dogs all my life. I like to walk dogs just plain and simple. I have a friendly dog now and walk it and let it outside and take care of it. He’s part of my family and fixed. I have a fenced in yard and pay a lot of attention to the animals needs. I make sure they’re happy and pay a lot of attention to animals.

Megan helped us check on our 3 golden retrievers while we were away for a long weekend. She sent us photos every time she visited and we really liked how detailed she was on her daily reports. That really helped us feel less worried and relaxed during our trip. When we came back, our dogs were happy and healthy! We highly recommend her!!

Brittany was fantastic! She was so thorough and sent great updates and photos for each visit - I was able to relax on our trip knowing that she had everything handled. This was our first trip away from our recently adopted dog, so I was a little nervous about how she would do, but she warmed up immediately to Brittany (which was impressive!) and I could tell by all the photos that she was relaxed and happy. Will absolutely be booking with Brittany again!

Glenn provided consistent care and attention for my cat and undertook the challenge of caring for my parrot although he was without prior bird experience. Both bird and cat were happy and healthy upon my return and Glenn communicated daily reports on them while I was away. I couldn’t be more pleased.
