I had a great experience with Lindsey. She setup a time to meet with me and my cat to talk through his needs and be introduced. She kept me informed while I was away with pictures and updates about my cat, which made me feel much better about leaving my pet alone.

Thank you so much for taking care of Bruce in a pinch! Good communicator and was able to figure out how to take care of my dog with little heads up. Thank you! Would recommend to others.

Katie was great, she came through on a somewhat last minute request when my prior sitter was no longer available, and made it work! I came home to a pretty mellow kitty and had the ease of knowing she was getting some love while I was away. No complaints!!

Paige was very prompt and communication was great. My shy cat even sat on her lap for pets, so she definitely is the right fit for us. The dogs did well too. We will have her back.

About: I grew up with dogs, mostly yellow Labrador retrievers. I also had a dog of my own through college and lived with 3 dogs for several years, so I am comfortable with feeding, walking, etc. I am working part-time in the mornings, so I have full afternoons and weekends available for pet care. My children are also with me at all times. I have a fenced in yard for safe playing outdoors, and two children who enjoy playing with dogs, so we can keep your dog safe and entertained

About: I grew up on a dairy farm, and have been around many different animals over the years. I started out pet sitting for friends of family members, and families in my local community in my spare time. I have also taken care of a few senior pets over the years by making sure they get their right medications and foods throughout my stay. I also help take care of farm animals, outdoor bird feeders, along with indoor and outdoor plant watering and care. I currently have two cats, Scooter and Goose and they are my world. I am currently working about 20-25 hours a week. My current job is very flexible with hours and time that would allow me to stop in a care for your pets. I am available to do a few days, with the possibility of extending that period of time. I would be able to stop in and care for your pets before I head to work for the day (roughly 4 to 8 hours regularly, but can be flexible) and again after I am done with work for the day before engaging in any activities or turning in for the evening. I am open to stopping in daily and caring for you pets in your home as I dont have much space while I am currently living in the city with roommates and multiple pets in our household. If your pet has a favorite park, or yard to play in, I would be happy to engage in their favorite activities hwith them in those places.

We had no worries after meeting Katherine at the meet and greet! She took such great care of our dogs, who we rarely have anyone outside of family watch. We are always nervous to leave one of our dogs who struggles with being anxious when we are away, and he took to her right away with no issues. She provided real time updates, and great photos! Our dogs loved her and we will definitely be using her in the future!

Andrea was great. She arranged meetings free of charge to see if everything was a good fit before we committed. She often sent pictures to us to let us know our puppy was well taken care of. She also gave us many tips that were well appreciated as first-time puppy owners. Your pooch will be in great hands if you go with Andrea.

About: I’m an attentive and reliable walker who enjoys staying active and spending time outdoors. I’m comfortable with leash handling and focused on keeping dogs safe, exercised, and happy on their walks. I have experience with a range of dog breeds (and cats) through friends, family, and roommates. I'm happy to adjust to each dog's needs, whether it's a relaxed walk or a faster pace. For dogs who enjoy it, I can also incorporate light jogging into walks. I'm also experienced with salt and freshwater fish, reef tanks, arachnids, aquatic invertebrates, specialized tank setups, and bird species ranging from parrots and doves to fowl. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding and care routines, and helping maintain stable environments during drop ins. I'm happy to provide updates and photos after a walk or drop-in visit. I'm currently a student who occasionally works on-campus a few times per month. On most weekdays, I'm readily available in the early mornings and afternoons/evenings to take care of your pet! On weekends, I'm even more flexible. On walks, I stay attentive to each dog’s behavior to ensure they don’t ingest anything harmful and to watch for signs of stress or discomfort. I position myself between the dog and the road, avoid high-traffic areas when possible, and choose safer, quieter routes. For birds, I monitor body language and ensure their enclosure is secure at all times. I can handle parrots if needed, but always prioritize their comfort and boundaries. For fish tanks and other small animals, I maintain strict hygiene by washing my hands before and after care. I follow detailed care instructions closely, including feeding, temperature checks, and maintaining stable environments. I ensure all enclosures are securely closed and handled carefully to prevent stress or escape.

About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.

About: I am experienced in caring for all sorts of animals; from your standard dogs and cats to lizards, birds, fish, and bunnies. Personally my own pets were a cat, salamander, fish and a dog. I currently have no pets of my own which means I have tons of love with which I can shower your animals. I also have experience with giving animals medication. I work a job during the day from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, but am able to spend overnights with your animals as well as weekends or holidays (my family is local so I don't travel over holidays). I am available for dog walking, in-home/overnight care, or daily drop-in care. I want to make sure that the transition is as smooth as possible between my care and yours so I try to keep your pet's schedule as close to your current regimen as possible. I care for every animal as if they were my own and currently have no pets of my own which allows me to give all my attention to your furry friends. Before caring for your pets I love to get a little bit of a house tour to learn where you keep the food, treats, litterboxes, litter for the boxes, toys, etc. Additionally if you have your pet's vet information and/or list of nearby emergency pet clinics this is always appreciated information which I hope I never need to use but is good to keep on hand.

Emily was great with our cat Mila and even came to meet her before we left on our vacation. She followed all instructions, communicated well with us, and was very dependable. We were comforted in knowing she would come on time to make sure Mila got her foods and meds, a few treats and also some ear and head scratches.

This was our first time using Rover so we had no idea what to expect when we booked a drop-in visit/walk. Heidi was fantastic and took great care of Baxter and Lobo on such short notice. They absolutely loved her. The only thing that would have helped even more was a note whether or not they pooped on their walk or play time. Everything else was perfect and we’d be more than happy to have Heidi watch them again.

Summer did a great job giving my cat his medication. She did not always stay the full 30 minutes according to the app which was understandable on a holiday booking, but my cats were well cared for with her and I would be comfortable leaving them in her care again.
