Erin has been visiting with our sweet girl for a few weeks now. Our dog takes a little bit of coaxing to warm up to new people and Erin navigated it beautifully. Erin is very flexible and accommodating with schedules and we’re lucky to have her!

Valerie was amazing, and was so caring and detailed with our two kitty boys. We’ve been so worried about not being able to leave them due to medication schedules, but Valerie was reliable and consistent with medication administration and gave them much needed love and attention while we were gone!

About: I have two years of experience pet sitting small, medium and large dogs pet sitting experience with cats. During my visits, I have walked, fed, had playtime with, and have fed any medications or vitamins the owner has requested I give their pet to them. In my daily and weekly routine, I would be available for visits/walks during: Monday/Wednesday/Fri: 6-10am and/or 1-8pm Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday: available at any time Sunday: 3-8pm These times do differ for overnight stays! When caring for pets in my clients home, I always make sure to follow any instructions or specific requests the client has left for me. I also make sure the client has informed me of certain behaviors of their pet and has told me about the pets personality to ensure I watch them in a way that makes them the most comfortable to ensure a safe and fun visit!

About: Animal lover who understands that pets are family. Ive always had animals in my home and have experience caring for my own and friends/family fur babies when they are away. I will provide a safe and loving environment where your pet will be comfortable and cared for like they are part of the family. I've cared for animals in every stage of life. I have extensive experience with cats including bottle-feeding orphaned kittens, caring for senior cats, and supporting pets with age related needs. I also have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I understand that each pet requires individualized care, patience, and attention. Open to hosting dogs in home and drop-ins for your kitties while you are away! I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide frequent supervision and attention throughout the day. Work is flexible allowing for lots of time love and activities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play with my dog. When not outdoors our house guest will primarily stay with me in my home office as my co-worker and side kick. With lots of breaks for tummy rubs and head scritches of course!

Joann was fantastic! She exceeded our expectations by being conscientious about our cats' needs. I was also happy that she took care of our garbage even though she didn't have to. I'm sure our cats would love to see her again.

About: I grew up with dogs and all of my kids have dogs, so not only am I a grandpa, I was a dog grandpa first! I also sit and love cats. They always find me. Had four dogs in my house for many times watching when my kids traveled, but now they moved so I have more time to get my fur feed. I take walks and would love to walk your pups but also can follow your guidelines doing the best to keep their routine. I work from home but occasionally have appointments outside of the home, so I am very available to work with your schedule. I will share my schedule with you when booking. I have a fenced yard and a great neighborhood for walking. Friendly home environment with access to fresh food/water and sunshine. Your dog/cat will be well-loved.

About: I've been pet-sitting for neighbors for years and I love the opportunity to spend time with different pets while offering peace of mind to their owners as they travel, with the ability to stay in their own home environments and accommodate their unique needs. I have plenty of experience with both dogs and cats, and I don't have a job outside the home so I am available to provide frequent care and stay with your pets day and night. I'm currently not working outside of the house, so I have plenty of availability to provide frequent care to any pets who may benefit from it. I don't care for pets in my own home, so there's no need to worry about any outside factors or unfamiliar situations for your pets. I will carefully follow your instructions to keep your pets happy and safe and your home in good condition, while making sure to respect your privacy and property at all times.

I really appreciate Hannah! I needed to hire someone last minute for my 5 furbabies, and she was more than willing. I asked if she wouldn't mind if I reached out for additional days toward the end of my trip away, and though I ended up not needing to do so, she was willing to do that as well. Additionally, my senior rottweiler mix likes to "give attitude," which can be scary if you aren't familiar with it, and Hannah handled that beautifully. She was communicative when it happened, which allowed me to message her to share what to do about it (which was to let the dog throw her fit and leave her be). I'd hire her again in a heartbeat, and probably will when I take trips in the future!

About: My family has had dogs and cats since I was little and they currently have three dogs at home. Unfortunately I moved so I don’t get that animal love that I want and I don’t have a pet of my own here. I would love to take care of your animal(s) and treat it like it’s my own! I work right down the street from my apartment and will be home for lunch every day. My hours are 8-2 so your animal would not go longer than 4 hours alone each day. I live in an apartment, but it has a dog park that I have taken many dogs I’ve sat for to! I also live close to a walking trail and it’s perfect!

First time using rover for cat care while we were on vacation, and we are SO happy we met with Lindsey for her care! She dropped in daily for our three social cats, sent us daily notes and pictures, and did everything we had discussed + more. Will be using her services again next time we travel. We felt very happy with her services and her quick ability to communicate before and during our trip.
