Alondra did an outstanding job taking care of Miss Lily. My kitty couldn't have hoped for a better sitter. She was waiting at the door, always happy to see her sitter. I highly recommend the device of Alondra.

I can’t recommend Adriana enough! She took care of my cats for 4 days and truly went above and beyond in every way. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely cares for animals, my kitties Momo and Mimi felt right at home with her. She made sure they were well fed, kept the litter box spotless, and spent quality time playing and cuddling with them, it was clear they were happy, relaxed, and comfortable the whole time. Adriana was also super responsive and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She’s kind, reliable, and just an all-around wonderful person and sitter. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust completely with my fur babies. I’ll definitely be booking Adriana again, my cats can’t wait to see her next time! 🐱❤️

Anna was great with my puppy! My plans came up suddenly so I booked on fairly short notice. Anna was quick to respond and clear about her schedule. She made a point of meeting my puppy and learning more about our routine, and asked lots of thoughtful questions that helped me feel comfortable. And it was clear from the start that she loves dogs and they love her! Anna sent pics or vids of every drop-in and gave me quick reports on potty training and behavior. And she offered some really smart training and safety tips! I'd definitely hire Anna again!

Kristine took care of both my dog and cat while I had to leave the state unexpectedly for a few days. She was very attentive to both my girls. She sent photos and videos daily, gave constant updates on behavior, how they were doing. Telling me if any accidents occurred, and cleaned said accident. Kristine kept my mind at ease while I was attending a family members funeral. I knew that light and lyla were in safe hands. I'll be asking Kristine for dog walls and sittings all the time now. She is my go to :)

We can’t recommend Max enough as a cat sitter! He was incredibly organized, thoughtful, and kind, which made leaving our two cats in his care so much easier. One of our cats needed daily pilling—a challenge for most—but Max handled it like a pro. He also took the time to play with them during each visit, and it was clear they felt comfortable with him right away. It’s such a relief knowing our cats were so well cared for. Thank you, Max!

About: I provide active, attentive, and structured care for both dogs and cats, with a focus on exercise, comfort, and individualized attention. For dogs, I’m especially a great fit for higher-energy pets that need more activity and engagement. I provide: • 3 daily walks (typically 20 mins to 1 hour each depending on energy level and needs) • A large fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise • Plenty of interaction, playtime, and supervision throughout the day I also have extensive experience caring for cats and have raised 5+ cats over the years. For cats that prefer quieter environments or separation from dogs, I have a dedicated empty bedroom available to help them feel safe and relaxed. Additional care I can provide includes: • Brushing and de-shedding • Nail trimming • Basic dental cleaning (if tolerated) • Frequent updates with photos/videos I focus on quality care and take a limited number of pets so I can give each one more attention and a calmer experience. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, or evening visits. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your cat’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I prioritize reliability and will make sure your cat is cared for on time every visit, whether it’s daily check-ins or extended care. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment and always follow your care instructions closely. I understand that cats can be sensitive to changes, so I focus on minimizing stress and maintaining their normal routine. I’m experienced with handling cats gently, including grooming (brushing, nail trimming, and basic hygiene if your cat allows). I pay close attention to their behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I will keep you updated with photos and notes after each visit. Your cat’s safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities.

Kathryn is incredibly reliable, consistent, and communicative. When two other Rover sitters fell through and left my dog unattended while I was out of the country, Kathryn stepped in last minute and provided dependable, thoughtful care. I truly appreciate how she cared for my dog during such a stressful situation. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust.

About: First-time bookings on Rover can get a $20 discount! Use my code kaitlt22451 for additional savings, even if you don't book with me 🌟 Pet Veteran 🐾 I've been on Rover since 2024 and have cared for pets of family and friends long before I joined Rover. I am particularly experienced in caring for and training senior dogs. I understand the need to prepare special meals for dietary needs and catering playtime to a dog's health and interests. Administering oral medicine is no biggie for me, as long as I'm made aware of how they usually prefer to take their meds! If the dog is able to, I love taking them out for walks and playing games to keep their mind and body stimulated. There is nothing better than loving our furry family members who always give us unconditional love! I also have experience caring for cats and knowing the importance of respecting their space and letting them come to me when they're comfortable! I love playing with cats or even just watching them sunbathe in the most random parts of a home. I am open to caring for all types of animals (I've had to watch hamsters in addition to dogs before), so your pet will always be showered with love! Prior to Booking 🗓️ I will always ask to schedule a meet & greet to ensure your pet is comfortable with me. During this meet & greet, I'd love to know more about your pet's daily routine, a tour of your home, and any other housekeeping notes I should know during the stay. The meet & greet is to see if we're a good fit and make sure we're both comfortable proceeding with the booking. I always ask my clients to type up a document with pet care instructions and any notes about the home to ensure things run as smoothly as possible. If your pet requires constant supervision due to separation anxiety or behavior that requires special attention (aggressive behavior, chews on personal items, constantly barks throughout the day, always pulls on the leash, not potty trained, has a habit of biting or scratching unprovoked), an additional flat fee of $20 will be added to reflect the additional care that they'll require. What to Expect 💭 Multiple photo updates during the day! I always send photos before they're requested. You'll see what your pets are up to, whether there are any issues going on that you need to know, or just silly moments of them that I happened to capture. It'll be like you never left them. Many walks (around 2-3 times a day), cuddles, treats (as allowed), and toys to keep your pet entertained during the day! Your home will be respected and kept in a clean condition. I understand the anxiety of having someone else in your home, so I'll always respect boundaries about rooms to leave untouched, taking out the garbage, bringing in mail, and washing any dishes that may be used. I also try to clean your pet's food and water bowls daily to ensure their health and safety! I will often put any used towels or bedsheets in one place or pre-loaded into the washing machine so that you're aware of what was used. I am available during the entire week, including weekends, so I plan my day around your pet's schedule for quality feeding time, play time, and cuddles! I typically spend most of the day with your pet, stepping out to run errands as necessary. To respect my time, if you require more than one meet & greet, they will be $15 for 30 minutes each. The first meet & greet is free! I always keep track of where the pet is in the home and maintain a watchful eye of what they’re eating, playing with, or exploring. Since I have a senior dog of my own, I understand the need to react quickly to any alarming noises or behavior and am able to think on my feet to address concerns while also keeping you in the loop! I am also quick to notice when play time is getting too intense and a fight might break out so I know when to step in and distract pets to help de-escalate the situation.

About: I have taken care of my own pets since I was 10. I have also shown dogs the basic commands of sit, wait, jump paired with hand gestures. I have 3 dogs of my own that I care for as well as a cat. I have fostered kittens and found them good homes as well as cared for an stray, injured kitten. I am a university alumni, currently unemployed but do volunteer work. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I am available to do drop ins to play with your pet and taken them out on potty breaks as well as take them on walks. I am available to care for your pets any day. I can care for your pets by doing drop ins to engage in play time/have potty breaks and taking them out for their walks to release energy and promote a healthy lifestyle. I have a crate in my home and pet supplies (dog wipes, food, etc) to use if necessary.

Yongzheng did a wonderful job with drop-visits for our kittens while we were away. Communication with her was great and easy, plus she added many cute videos/photos from the visits and took time to play with them and make sure they were doing well. Our young kittens (who have not yet met many people and are sometimes shy) seemed comfortable and happy with her, which was amazing!

Jiamin is the best pet sitter ever! One of the things I appreciated most was how much attention and affection Jiamin gave to my cat. On top of that, Jiamin wrote a River Card after every visit and included tons of pictures and videos. My cat looked like he was having an amazing time—honestly, even more fun than he usually has with me, lol. Jiamin also noticed that my cat might benefit from having more companionship. Because of that, I requested an additional last-minute visit, and Jiamin was kind enough to accommodate it. I could feel the care and affection in every visit, and my cat definitely loved Jiamin.
