“Kallie was a great sitter. She was able to connect quickly with me when I had to go out of town last minute. Ragnar was well taken care of. Would recommend her to folks looking for a pet sitter and would use her again.”

“Jeff provided multiple days of feeding, cuddle time, walks and loving attention for our dog. The photos he sent helped us feel at ease knowing our boy was safe and happy. We appreciated his responsibility and updates!”

“Kyra did an amazing job taking care of my three cats while I was out of town. She even got my cranky old man cat to play a little bit with her which isn’t something just anyone manages! All three of my kitlets are quite the characters, and Kyra somehow captured their personalities in the photo updates she sent. I’ll definitely be hiring her again when I have to be away from home.”

“Excellent visits! Great communication, sent lots of photos and very interactive with our cats. Flexible with providing care and changing up day to day routine. Absolutely perfect pet sitting experience!”

About: One of the first things people notice about me is how animals are drawn to me. For some reason I was the only person who could sit my cousin's dog, who wanted to bite everyone else. Odds are good your pet will make a new friend while you're away. I'm currently between full-time jobs, which gives me the flexibility to build my schedule to meet the needs of clients, whether it's just dropping in or a long-term stay. My apartment has a very cat-friendly setup, though obviously most cats prefer staying on their own turf. For dogs, I'll need to come to you.
“Holland was a pleasure to work with. My dog can be quite anxious, and Holland was wonderful—carefully following my instructions and showing real empathy and understanding for my dog’s needs.”

“Meghan was great with my cats. Even Beans, who hides from everyone but me, found himself rolling over for belly rubs from Meghan. Highly recommend her and would definitely request her services again!”

About: My family has had dogs since I was born, and I got my own 9 years ago when he was a puppy. I’ve raised him on my own, cared for my parents’ dogs when they’re out of town, and looked after my friends’ pets. I currently have a very flexible work schedule and can accommodate most days and times for pet care as needed. Comfortable walking dogs in any time of day and any season! I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and am comfortable with any breed or size. I’ve had senior dogs before, and raised my own dog since he was a puppy, so I’m comfortable with any age range too!
“Katie is wonderful! I loved getting an update and picture of Henry when she visited him. It’s so nice having a reliable petsitter. I will definitely ask Katie to take care of my boy again!”

“Joanna is an angel sent from heaven!!!!! We were in a horrible pinch and desperate for a sitter after plans fell through for Christmas Day last minute and she came through. She was incredibly understanding of chaotic circumstances (to say the least) and extremely flexible. One of our pups is very timid and shy and we weren’t sure how it would go but she easily befriended her and treated her with kindness and respect. She sent us frequent updates with pictures which put us at ease. I cannot speak more highly of her. Book her today!!!”

“Lisa took such great care of my shy cat while we were away, and her daily updates helped calm my anxiety of leaving my cat. She followed my instructions carefully and left the house in the same condition we left it. Plus, she watered the plants! I will be using her again!”

“Kylie is pleasant and positive to deal with, a good communicator, shows up on time, posts great photos, and seems to like my dog (well, you know, we all have a perfect child, even when we don't!). I will hire Kylie again.”

About: I love dogs so much and my experiences with them are endless! I have been around dogs and cats since a young age, senior-puppies-kittens. I have raised and trained a puppy before, dog sat many dogs in the past and have experience administering medication. 🐕 I am majoring in psychology to go into animal behavioral therapy, I’m knowledgeable on animal language and understand their boundaries. So I guarantee I will have your dog/cat feeling safe, loved, and cared for easily! 💛 I am currently free most days if not all of the week. I have classes on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but still may be relatively available these days. The best available times for me for drop-in/day-time care range from 8am-8pm each day. At my home I have a small fenced in backyard and I live in a walkable area nearby a park for walks and zoomies. Indoors or outdoors I will make sure your pet stays safe and entertained. Whether it’s brushies or playtime I can care for them in these ways in your home or in mine. 🐈⬛
“Katherine, was awesome. Her communication was excellent, her connection with us and our pups immediate; and her malleability appreciated. We had a unique opportunity that needed support and she was very helpful; helped us to meet the need of that opportunity and was a tremendous flexible resource. My wife and I highly recommend Katherine and can agree with the 5 stars given to her by others - she definitely earned it.”

About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends pets for years. I have been trusted with feeding, walking, bathing, and loving their pets. I am passionate about providing a safe and comfortable atmosphere for pets while their parents are away! I am currently a student, so I would love to hang out with your pet as a study break! My schedule varies week by week, but I will do my best to accommodate your needs. I love to play, walk, and run with my beagle. And when she’s worn out, I love to lay on the couch with her! This extends to all pets. I love playing with them and making sure they get their energy out…and cuddling with them when they’re tired! I adhere to whatever feeding schedule is desired and I constantly ensure they have water!
“Nina was so helpful when we were in a pinch! We came home to two very happy pups - so nice having peace of mind that they were well taken care of when we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again in the future!”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have cared for my own golden retriever, Sunny, since he was a puppy. Sunny is now 5 years old, well-behaved, and friendly with other pets. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, and creating a safe, loving environment for dogs of all temperaments. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I walk Sunny twice daily—morning and evening—and love spending time outdoors. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays. I live in a one-level ranch-style home with a fully fenced-in backyard, perfect for safe outdoor play. My home is quiet, clean, and pet-friendly. Sunny is gentle and social, making him a great companion for visiting pets. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their comfort and safety.
About: I have been taking care of dogs, cats, and other types of pets throughout my life. My experience includes taking care of puppies, senior cats, and pets with various medical needs such as anxiety and diabetes. I work full time from home all but one day a work week so my schedule is quite flexible to take care of your furry friend! No matter the service, I adapt depending on your pet’s needs. For boarding, I can guarantee a calm environment whether your cat would prefer to be alone in a room or out and about the apartment.
“Mary watched our two cats (drop in visits) while we were out of town for a wedding. They were well taken care of while we were away, with nightly updates and photos. We would certainly use Mary again in the future!”

Stadium pet parents share their Rover experiences
We were in search of last minute help taking care of our kitty and very glad to have found Catherine! During her drop-in visits, Cat communicated clearly with detailed and timely updates. Cat respected our property by following instructions and taking her shoes off inside our home. We will definitely hire Cat again and highly recommend her services.

Lydia was amazing with my kitten! She communicated really well throughout, sent plenty of pictures, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My kitten was clearly very happy and well cared for. She did an incredible job, and I would absolutely book with her again.

Iris was an absolutely wonderful sitter. She is incredibly sweet and kind, very communicative, and consistently kept me updated. She followed all of my instructions thoroughly and thoughtfully, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my two cats and treated them with so much attention and care. Iris is diligent, responsible, and truly goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Daniel was super helpful over the holidays when our travel plans changed last minute and we couldn't take our cat with us. He checked in on her each day and was super accommodating to her needs and our limited preparation for his visits. We know our cat Eve felt comfortable being home on her own with daily visits from Daniel!

Melanie was amazing with my kitten while I was out of town for a few days! This was my first time ever using Rover so I had a lot of questions and Melanie was super patient, flexible, and responsive! She took great photos of my kitty and I could just tell my pet was being taken care of properly!

Trinity was great! She was very flexible and able to work with me last minute over a holiday which is amazing. She communicated with me regularly and sent me pics and updates of my kitty. I came home to a happy kitty. I will definitely use her as a sitter again and highly recommend her.
