“Madeline responded almost immediately to my last-minute request for a cat-sitter. She quickly set up a meet and greet asap to meet our two cats and find out their routines. I found her to be very pleasant and reliable. She sent photos daily of our cats while we were gone. It was a nice reminder they were in good hands and were well take care of. I would highly recommend Madeline!”
“Cindy was absolutely INCREDIBLE with my cat Rory while I was away for 2 weeks. She sent me a lot of pictures twice a day with detailed updates on how she was doing. She went above and beyond with her care and eased every single one of my anxieties. She also spent a ton of time with Rory to make her feel comfortable and happy, which was so appreciated!! I will absolutely be booking with her again when I’m out of town next!!”
“Elizabeth was wonderful and took such good care of my fur babies! She gave me peace of mind leaving my geriatric dogs in her amazing care! Thank you for all you did for them.”
“Hailly was wonderful! Respectful of our requests, detailed, timely, and sent pictures and updates every day. Was very mindful of our cat’s moods and picked up on the fact that he was a little nervous at first, but you could see he quickly started becoming comfortable each visit through the pictures. We would certainly choose her again. Thank you, Hailly! :)”
“This was my first time using a stranger to care for my pets. Rover.com did not disappoint tho! Corey is so nice and was VERY good at communicating with me before her visit with my kitty, Butters. She checked in when she got there, and then sent me pictures of Butters in good health and looking very happy. Butters says Corey is great at playing and petting! I say Corey is professional yet friendly, and extremely accommodating with me getting keys to and from her. I will be using her again and highly recommend her.”
“Kathrine was great! She checked in on our kitten when it was a hot day and we where away. She sent us pictures, refilled his water, and played with him! This was our first time using rover/ Katherine, we were very pleased.”
“Maria is a fantastic cat sitter! Anytime we have to go out of town I contact her to make sure I have peace of mind my senior kitty will be in the best hands while I’m away. My cat is shy but she trusts Maria in a way she doesn’t trust many people, and is always her usual happy sweet self when I return to her.”
“Jessica is fantastic she came for a previsit and met our pup who immediately took a liking to her. The day of her first scheduled visits she allowed our dog to warm up to her at his own pace and was patient and kept me informed. We will be welcoming her back real soon. I highly recommend Jessica.”
“Madi was great. She sent pictures and kept us updated daily. I highly recommend her .”
“We really like Alicia! Alicia is very responsive and easy to work with. They sent us a report after the visit with a video of our kitties and took care of everything we requested. We’ve already booked Alicia for house sitting next!”
“Christian continues to be my "go to" for prompt, kind and affectionate attention and walks for Lucy Dog at lunchtime when I am at work. Christian takes unprompted and quick action when unexpected situations arise. He is intuitive, mature and responsive, and he genuinely cares for my dog. I highly recommend Christian without reservation.”
About: I love working with animals, I can help train dogs and I like to play with them and take them on walks. I also can help train cats/kittens if needed too. I am able to help 3-4 times a week throughout the day. Monday to Thursday would work best to walk dogs or stop in to play with them and feed them. I can care for pets at clients homes, I have reliable transportation. I am able to feed pets, play with them walk them and socialize if needed to.
“Great pet sitter! She sent pictures every visit and my cat loved her!”
“We were just thrilled with Bryan and most certainly highly recommend him! We have a physically challenged senior dog who wears leg braces and can tend to be crabby and somewhat uncooperative! Bryan was great with making sure her leg braces were on properly, getting her out for a short little walk, and just outside in the yard. Very communicative also with text messages and photos! We were very pleased with Bryan's caring way.”
“Joni was great. I was nervous leaving my cats home. They dont do well being on their own for extended periods. Joni played with them and cuddled with them. She also had no problem, on short notice, feeding them the last day as my neighbor could not. The cats are happy and so am I.”
About: I have a special needs pup, so am good at giving medication and doing physical therapy exercises. I am also an outdoor enthusiast who is extremely patient, so I will take your dog out on the trail (if ok) and let them smell things as long as they want and provided it is safe to sniff! I do work a full time job, but remotely. I prefer morning, evenings, or weekends. And if I'm pet sitting, I will make sure to stick around and give your pet some attention- even during work days as I can work remotely! I follow medications and schedules. I will walk dogs I'm pet sitting a minimum of twice a day with let out in the middle of the day. I also believe attention, if the animal wants it, is important!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of various kinds since I was 10. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets. Currently I work on a 10 month contract. Therefore I have summer off so I have plenty of time to provide pet care to those in need of such services. I am a very trustworthy person who has tremendous respect for other people’s property and belongings. I especially respect pets with their needs and desires.
“Devin was awesome, he really went above and beyond for my cat and I felt safe leaving him in his care!”
