“Stephen is the BEST!! On extremely short notice he came to do a drop-in with my pup. He was communicative, kind, respectful of the home, and most importantly he was Oakley’s new best friend! We appreciate you, Stephen!”
“Eleanor was very responsible and our family felt like she was taking care of our dogs well. We got photos of them every day we were away. She was great about responding and getting in touch with any questions or concerns in a timely matter. We will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“Uğar was great! He was super reliable - our cat seemed very happy with his visits. He sent several photos each day along with a detailed report of what he did/noticed. My cat tends to be skittish around new people but he appeared to warm up to Uğar pretty quickly which was awesome! Leaving my cat behind for the holidays was less stressful knowing that he was getting great care. Not to mention that Uğar was great to talk to and very communicative! I had to add on an extra day last minute and he was flexible with that. He was also very understanding and patient when I had messed something up on my end. I highly recommend booking with him - I definitely will again in the future!”
“Brennan did such an amazing job taking care of my dog Rusty this weekend! This was my first time ever leaving him at home when I have gone out of town, as I’ve always boarded him at a kennel in the past, and it has always been really overwhelming and hard for him. I’m so glad that this time, I decided to instead do a series of Rover drop-in visits, and I could not have asked for a better person than Brennan for the job! She fed him, gave him his medication, walked him, played with him and in general, just gave him all the care and attention he craves. And through it all, she gave me great updates about everything that was going on with him, so I never had to worry about a thing. She’s the best!”
“Andrea was great! I could tell she loves cats, I found her very easy to trust and she takes great photos of fur babies (it’s a nice touch when you’re away from them). Would definitely recommend Andrea!”
“This was the first time leaving my baby and I was nervous, but even from the first meet and greet, I knew Lauren would be a great friend to Lucy. She did an amazing job, updating me, connecting with Lucy during her visits and adjusting her schedule to suit our needs. She took the time to prepare Lucy a yummy dinner and play with her favorite toys. Lucy adored her and was happy and healthy during my trip. I’m so glad we had Lauren to help and will definitely be coming back in the future!”
“Deanna understood the complicated needs of my senior dog! She was polite and respectful in our interactions and I will 100% work with her in the future!”
“Danielle is truly the best! This is our first time using Rover so not only did she take great care of our Great Dane while we were away, she also eased our worries and concerns and educated us about the app and its services! We will definitely use it again! Every day she sent great updates along with a ton of photos and even threw in a walk which we greatly appreciated. My husband and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Will definitely use again. She’s friendly with GREAT communication and tons of photos. I loved the photos since I always miss my babies when I’m away. They were well taken care of and I can’t thank you enough.”
“Nicki was awesome!! Great cat sitter, super easy to coordinate with.”
“Would recommend Stephanie a million times! She’s been great to work with and is great with my elderly little dog. 10/10”
About: I am known as the go-to pet sitter for all of my friends and family! I have worked with everything from tiny 4 week old puppies to senior pets who need assistance walking and require multiple medications. I am comfortable with giant dogs and I have experience with fearful/aggressive animals. I’m an avid hiker and love to stay active, usually with my dogs. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have a very flexible schedule so I am available to walk or care for your pet at your convenience! I have a reliable car and don’t mind driving! I have a yard with a secure, 6 foot privacy fence and live in a very walkable neighborhood with three parks near my home. If your pet is more comfortable staying home I am available to take care of them there! I’m a fast learner and I’m eager to learn your pet’s routine!
About: I have always lived in a home with animals around. My childhood home always had at least one beloved cat running around. In adulthood I have of course continued the cat person legacy, as well as being roughly 3 years into having my first dog. The latter has been such a fun adventure and now I love dogs just as much as I have always loved cats! I am currently looking to work full-time as a pet sitter. Other than Wednesdays (previous engagement) I can be available for whatever visit or walk schedule your pet needs! I do not currently offer boarding services. But for dog walks, I have plenty of extra leashes if needed! I also have a never ending supply of cat toys that mine has stopped caring about (cat people--if you know you know) which I'm more than happy to share.
About: I have owned/taken care of dogs/cats for the last 12 years. I have always enjoyed taking care of pets and appreciate how much joy pets can bring into people's lives. I'm available Mondays, Thursday or Fridays for pet visits or dog walking. I can also be available Tuesday and Wednesday evenings (after 4pm) with enough notice Will care your pet as if it is my own. Can feed pets meals/take for bathroom breaks/change litter/give medication. Comfortable with any breed/size of dog.
“Melissa was so friendly and great at communicating.”
“Nice to come home after a week away to find a happy crew and a clean house! I never worry when Jamie is walking our dog and this time I asked Jamie to care for our foster cat as well. Got twice a day updates on the both of them. So great to know they are on good hands when I can’t be here.”
“Maria is amazing! She took plenty of pictures and kept detailed updates so I felt comfortable knowing my pup was in good hands. She followed all directions and was incredibly diligent during our meeting to make sure everything was clear.”
“Nancy was outstanding!! She was prompt and consistent with her visits and updates. She really went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well cared for over the holidays. She also made sure our house held up during record low temperatures. We could not recommend her more!!”
“Jenn has been watching my two dogs for over a year. She is unfailingly on time, has never canceled, and my dogs love her. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Brooklyn does an amazing job with our kitties. We have two bengals that can be anywhere from snuggly to full blown crazy. I love that she meets them at whatever energy they are at! They've never been this comfortable around anyone else. Thank you!”

Katherine S.Star Sitter
“We ask Katherine (Katie) exclusively any time we go out of town, or even out for an extended period. She is so good with our boys and they love her, something they don't with everyone. She is extremely responsible and doesn't mind our special requests, ie: certain foods at certain times, exercise at certain times, play times, etc. She is an absolute dream come true!”
Sarah K.
“Sarah has taken care of my zoo of animals several times and done a EXPERT job. She’s loving, responsible and downright an angel. She will take care of your fur babies just as you would yourself. She watched my 4 pets when I went into labor with my daughter and as I was already anxious with all that was going on, I felt totally at ease while they were in her care. Would recommend her a million times over!!”
Lawrence J.
“Lawrence has been an incredibly responsible dog owner for the last 10 years and has always helped me when I needed my dog walked or fed. Lawrence's location next to a great park makes it easy for him to take dogs on walks and keep them entertained. I have asked Lawrence to dog sit for me many times over the years, and I have never had any issues.”

Sarah was great! I appreciate her not only taking care of our two kitties but watering my flowers and grabbing the mail as well. Definitely will be using again!
Would recommend Stephanie a million times! She’s been great to work with and is great with my elderly little dog. 10/10
Harper is wonderful! She took excellent care of my bunny and they bonded instantly. Harper respected all my specific requests and gave me very detailed reports ! A real star sitter !
Andrea was amazing!!! The fire alarm was going off at my apartment while Andrea was there in the morning checking on my cat and she loaded him into his carrier and took him outside. She updated me about what was happening. I woke up and saw alerts from my Furbo that the smoke alarm was going off but then I saw Andrea’s message and a photo of my cat outside and my anxiety immediately subsided!! He uploaded lots of photos of my cat, which I always appreciate. Definitely recommend Andrea!
Consistent, responsive, and considerate. Jenn takes good care of our cat in her drop-in visits and gives us good updates on our cat.
Kylie is AMAZING!! My cat looked forward to each visit. Kylie is a great communicator and goes above and beyond for my kitty.
Amy went above and beyond for my dog. She kept me well informed and brought toys and treats for my dog to play with. She was flexible with my schedule. Thanks, Amy!!
Lauren took amazing care of our sweet cat Frances Muffins. She was communicative and through and we came home to a happy cat and a home in great shape! Huge thanks to Lauren, highly recommend for your pet sitting needs!
Kiwi is just amazing! She took great care of my cat for over a month and was super responsive and considerate the whole time. She also went out of her way to vacuum the area around the litter box during each drop-in visit. Please definitely consider Kiwi if you are looking for someone that’s caring, dependable, and knowledgeable!
Maria is amazing! She took plenty of pictures and kept detailed updates so I felt comfortable knowing my pup was in good hands. She followed all directions and was incredibly diligent during our meeting to make sure everything was clear.
Uğur accepted a last minute request to drop in and check on our cat, Strudel! He went above and beyond, sending photos, playing with him, and communicating quickly & frequently. I would recommend him to anyone:-)
