“We needed last minute care for our kitten who had recently had spay surgery. We needed someone to come over and administer meds and feed our two cats while we were gone for the weekend. Rebecca was available same day and was a life saver. She was very communicative and reliable. It was a relief to know that our kitty was in good hands.”


“Although I ended up having to cancel my trip so Ashley/Olivia didn’t end up doing the drop in visits, Olivia was great at the drop-in visit I scheduled before our trip! My chinchillas took to her immediately. Gus, our fiestiest boy, happily accepted cheek scritches from her and another one of my chins even let her pick him up :) That says a lot about how she interacts with animals because as prey animals, trust doesn’t come easily to chinchillas. She also asked a lot of important questions about their care which I appreciated. She was super responsive and flexible about when I came to pick up my key from her. I would feel at ease with her taking care of my pets the next time I need care for them!”


“Aimee is wonderful! Our cats loved her, and they're usually shy with new people. At the meet & greet they both engaged with her, which made us trust that they were going to be in good hands. We received daily, timely updates, with lots of adorable pictures and a video. Aimee went above and beyond to ensure we felt the care given to our furry children, and the bonus kids outside. Aimee is an animal lover, genuine, very kind and thoughtful. We highly recommend her, your pets are in safe & loving care.”


“James' professionalism shines through his attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile. His genuine connection with animals was evident when Geronimo, typically shy around strangers, warmed up to James enough to forgo his usual under-the-bed hideout. The daily updates reassured me that Beowulf and Geronimo were receiving ample attention, exercise, and care. James' excellent communication skills kept me informed and at ease throughout my absence. Perhaps the most valuable aspect of James' service was the peace of mind he provided. I could fully enjoy my time away, confident in Beowulf and Geronimo's well-being and my home's security. For anyone in need of a dependable, compassionate drop-in dog sitter, James comes with my highest recommendation. We're already looking forward to booking his services for our next trip!”


“Allison is fantastic! She’s super patient, reliable, and Eclipse absolutely adores her. I always feel at ease knowing my pup is in such loving hands. Lots of playtime and care every visit—highly recommend!”


“Harleigh did an outstanding job accommodating all of my dog’s needs. My small dog, is usually anxious to meet new people, but he settled right into his hangout session with Harleigh. I was in a bind with no family in town to check on my dog, Harleigh was the first to reach out and in a matter of minutes she had solved my problem. She walked my dog around the neighborhood, fed him his meal and gave him some affection. Your animal will be in good hands with Harleigh! Don’t hesitate sending her your business !”


“Miranda has been visiting my dogs for about 3 months now and they love having her around. She has been particularly patient with my anxious dog and that gives me peace of mind knowing he has someone who accepts him. Both dogs are excited to hear her name when I tell them she’ll be by while I’m at work. She is communicative and reliable. I will continue to use her for the foreseeable future.”


“Sarah was a life saver. She came through for us for our family vacation. She was so good with my 2 girls. Now they have a new friend. Thanks for being so punctual and for spending time with my dogs. I will surely be using you again in the future!!”

“Chelsea was absolutely great! She provided drop in care for our 2 cats when we were out of town. She did exactly what we asked her to manage and it was great! Our cats were very happy and comfortable around her which is NOT the norm. Just goes to show how sweet and good she is with pets. I highly recommend!”


About: Currently only available on evenings and weekends. I was raised with dogs my entire life. I've never met a dog who I didn't like, and who didn't like me. Three and a half years ago a cat walked into my home and refused to leave and made me his human and I consider this the highest compliment a cat can give. Special skills include giving the best pets/scratches/rubs/loves, being very big and strong so even the biggest dogs can't pull me or get away from me on walks, having tons of energy and enthusiasm for play, understanding/being able to read body language of dogs/cats, I'm currently funemployed and have wide availability to offer walks and drop ins at nearly anytime. Let me know what works for you and it will likely work for me. I am unable to bring others pets into my home as my cat deeply prefers to be an only pet and came to me to avoid another cat in his previous home. However, I will care for pets in their own homes or on walks with the same love as I've treated all my own dogs growing up and my cat now with. The most important thing about my care is I will discuss with you how you care for your pet and I will make sure that when your pet is with me they receive no less love, attention, and care than if you were with then yourself.


“Naya did an amazingly Job for us watching our boys. Photos were provided and they looked like they had a great 30 minutes of play with Naya. We will definitely use Naya again.”

South Gate pet parents share their Rover experiences
There are not enough words to express my gratitude for Sabrina, Ryan, and their little boy for always making sure our senior pups are well taking care of. This time around our pups had some tummy issues and they kept us informed and updated. Although we felt awful for the messes they’ve had to clean up, they never complained or made us feel bad about it. They will always be our first pick when we are out of town!!

Steffi did a great job staying in contact, sending photos and reporting any issues or minor concerns. She even won over our difficult child and was able to engage in play with all of them. Overall she made our vacation better with peace of mind the dogs were in great hands!

We hired Ms. Pat again for drop in visits for our two fur babies who she has cared for before. This weekend was special to us because it was the weekend we got married. Never during our special moments did I worry if our fur babies were taken care of. Ms. Pat is the best!

Cobie has been wonderful with my pups! She is always responsive and consistent. She followed my instructions for how to make the first visit less stressful, which was especially important. She was even open to adjusting the per visit fee for my two dogs because she had to come twice per day for my puppy. Thanks so much, Cobie!

Jazmin was fantastic taking care of my two cats Kate and Bella. It was helpful that Jazmin was familiar with the litter system I used. She took such good care of my cats as if they were her own. I highly recommend Jazmin to care for your cat(s). She clearly loves them and takes great care of them. Thank you Jazmin, for the loving care you provided Kate and Bella. I will definitely use you again in the future!

Shannon was great! This is my first time using her to do drop in visits on my dog, Zaydah while I was out of town for a couple of days. We did a meet and greet so that she could familiarize herself with my dog and my home before confirming the booking. My dog instantly liked her and I booked. Shannon kept me updated with what was going on through photos and text. If she had any questions she texted me. She even did a follow up on the last day to confirm that I didn’t need her to drop in and check on my dog anymore. I will definitely be using her again. Book Shannon you won’t be sorry.

Temier is amazing and gives me so much peace of mind when I am traveling out of town. She takes great care of our two cats, and is great about keeping you updated and sending pictures. She goes above and beyond what we asked of her and we truly appreciate all she does! We will 100% want to have her check on them in the future! Would completely recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter for your fur babies!
