“I'm glad I found Ligia to take care of Elsie, she's so caring and helpful and Elsie loves to see her come take care of her. Thanks for your help and care for my dog!”
About: "Looking for a sitter who truly speaks animal? I have spent my entire life caring for an incredible variety of pets, giving me the unique skills needed to handle almost any animal family. My experience includes giant dog breeds (English Mastiffs and Great Pyrenees), livestock (horses, chickens, and goat herds), and exotic reptiles. Today, I am a proud parent to a cat and two Holland Lop rabbits! Because I have lived alongside animals my whole life, I excel at reading their body language, vocal cues, and unique personalities. I am ready to provide a premium, loving, and safe environment for your babies!" I'm newly a father and am currently on paid family leave, and am available most days. My daily routine includes waking around 3am and getting the day started. I have several 2 hour blocks of time throughout my day that are not currently filled with any activities, perfect for caring for your pets! In My Home (Cat & Rabbit Friendly): Separate Zones: I maintain dedicated, safe zones for my resident cat and two Holland Lop rabbits to prevent stress. Exotic-Safe Space: My home environment is calm, secure, and adapted to handle specialized pet needs without disruption. Escorted Outdoor Time: Any outdoor access is strictly supervised within secure boundaries. In your home: Home Security: I strictly follow your home entry, locking, and alarm instructions to ensure property safety. Zero-Trace Care: I leave your home exactly as I found it, or better, cleaning up all pet waste immediately. Consistency: I mimic your exact feeding, walking, and crating schedules to minimize your pet's separation anxiety. Communication Expert: My lifetime of experience with giant breeds, livestock, and exotics means I actively read body language to prevent stress or conflict, and can quickly soothe an agitated pet. Daily Updates: I send frequent text and photo updates so you know your pets are safe, happy, and thriving. Emergency Ready: I keep your preferred vet information on hand and maintain a clear action plan for urgent situations, prioritizing your pets health above all else!
“Katie is amazing! She communicated with me that she was on the way, how the visit went and when the visit was over! She took great care of my Lucy and look fwd to booking with Katie again!”
About: I began caring for my cat, Tori, who has allergies and respiratory issues, and through that experience I learned how to give medication, monitor breathing, and provide gentle emotional support. Taking care of her taught me how deeply pets trust us and how important consistent, loving care is. I want to bring that same compassion to every pet I look after. I currently don’t work part time or attend school, so I have plenty of time every day, including weekends, to care for your pets with full attention and love. 1️⃣ Clean, safe, and caring pet care 2️⃣ Safe, gentle, and loving care 3️⃣ Hygienic and caring pet service 4️⃣ Clean hands, safe pets, happy hearts 5️⃣ Gentle care with safety first
“Sara is absolutely amazing. She took good care of my dog and lots of pics to keep me updated on how nitro was doing. My dog always was so happy to see Sara. She was a true joy to work with. I will definitely use Sara again”
About: i have a large history of taking care of dogs and have watched many different breeds and age ranges (from puppy's to senior dogs). On weekends i volunteer at a local shelter to help walk dogs that have yet to find there forever home. I am currently a college student with a small part time job at my school but i can easily fit in dog walking between classes and work. While watching dogs in the clients home i want to make sure they are kept in a fenced off area or always on a leash to ensure safety
“Jessica was WONDERFUL with our two pups! She was compassionate, professional, and attentive to the two of them! Her communication was above and beyond and sent lots of pictures! We will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you, Jessica!”
About: I’m patient, reliable, and love spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m especially good with shy pets and keeping pets on their normal routine. I’m currently working part time and I’m also a part time student, I’m available weekend mornings from 9am to 12pm, I’m also available Thursday’s after 2pm. I have experience caring for both small and large dogs because I own a big dog myself. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets safe and on their normal routine. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, supervised, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Holly was outstanding in every way. Trust worthy, On time, attention to details, excellent rapport with our extended family of Bruce and Charco. Great price. Highly, Highly recommend. Joey Jones, M.S. Former 18th Airborne Corp United States Army”
About: I have had 5 different breeds and sizes of dogs since i was a little kid, no dog scares me I’d love to walk any and all types. I work Night Shift so I’m available as soon as the sun comes up! weekends i’m free! When your eyes open im ready to care for your fur friend! I have 2 dogs of my own and love to give them attention and cuddles. They are such playful pups and I would play with them for hours. Even take them on walks and give them treats when they behave.
“Shelby took great care of our very reluctant senior cat, Jake. She went over and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable and safe in her presence. Jake will more than likely welcome her back with open paws because she respected his space. He might even let her pet him. As owners, we so appreciated the pictures she sent. It brought calm to us. We look forward to having her care for Jake again in the future!”
“We had a great meet and greet experience. It was clear she genuinely love animals and took the time to get to know our dog’s personality and needs. Rocky especially loves the back scratching and cant wait for more! I felt comfortable and confident moving forward and would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”
“Paige dropped in on my dog Jax and everything went great!! She was very friendly and informative! She went above and beyond for Jax while I was gone and I would highly recommend her!! Thank you Paige ????”
“Misty was wonderful with my cat, Apollo, over Thanksgiving! I was out of state and completely at ease knowing she was taking such great care of him. She sent daily updates and photos, which made being away so much easier. I had just bought an automatic feeder that started malfunctioning right after I left, and Misty handled it perfectly, making sure Apollo was fed and cared for. It really reinforced how important it is to have someone reliable checking in, even if you have automatic feeders and a water fountain. I’m so grateful for her help and will definitely book with her again! 🐾”

Southern Gateway cat parents share their Rover experiences
Julia was super proactive, checking in a few days before the booking, always giving detailed report cards and great photos of the my kitties. Went above and beyond each visit. Would definitely recommend Julia and definitely will be requesting her next time we are out of town!
We had a fantastic first experience using Rover thanks to Lucy! As first-time users, we were a little nervous about having someone come into our home while we were out of town, but Lucy made the entire process feel easy and reassuring from the start. She responded to our request almost immediately and scheduled a meet & greet within just a few days, which really helped put us at ease. While we were away, Lucy came by daily to take care of our cat, and she did an excellent job. It was clear our cat was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and attention she gave. Knowing that Lucy has cats of her own and also works at an animal hospital gave us an extra level of confidence that our pet was in great hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be booking with Lucy again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, and caring pet sitter!
Selby responded to my request within minutes whichwas great because I had to leave immediately for an emergency trip and leave my fur babies behind. She took excellent care of them and even got my 4 feral cats to become friendlier and more receptive to human contact. I had to trust her with my home and my special fur babies without meeting her in person. She came to my home and did her job well and efficiently. She even brought my numerous packages in they were piling up at my door. She can be trusted in your home alone. And she left my cat area cleaner than when I left them. Good job Selby!
Olivia did such a great job while checking in on our cats. She accommodated their needs and spent time with them, even going above and beyond for them on difficult days. Olivia was also very communicative which put our minds at ease while we were away. We sincerely appreciate the care she put into watching Rocco and Burrow!
