“Kay was a wonderful sitter for my three cats for my last minute trip out of town. The photos and notes she left in her reports made it obvious she was paying attention to each of their very different personalities and preferences and that even my very human-selective older cat was comfortable with her. If she is available, I will absolutely hire her again.”
“Holland saved the day for us with a very last minute request to feed our babies. She did exactly what was asked and sent a pic too! I will definitely have her back!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life of all sizes. I grew up with a great pyranees/ border collie and have a dog of my own who is a dachshund. I dog sat for my neighbor, friends, and relatives frequently. I also have experience in sitting for cats as well. I can also help your dog learn new tricks! I taught my dog how to sit, stay, lay down, paw, roll over, follow, and wait all within 6 months. I am currently a part-time employee and have a dog of my own, so I have plenty of time and experience in pet care to give your furbaby the care they deserve! I’m flexible to what they need. Whatever needs you have for your furbaby I can meet! My dog is very particular, so I am patient, willing and understanding to what your pet needs.
“Teresa was excellent with my large, often anxious, cat Sherlock. Upon my return I found a happy Sherlock with none of the usual stress symptoms. Teresa also communicated frequently and sent photos of all the snuggles and other antics Sherlock got up to each day. It was great to see my cat happy while I was away!”
“It was so reassuring knowing that I had someone so caring and professional as Lindsay taking care of my “fur babies”. The daily photos and journal updates also eased my mind when I was away from my pets. Thank you Lindsay and Rover.com for hiring a pet sitter such a good experience.”
“As always, Jeffrey knocked it out of the park. We always feel so comfortable and confident heading out of town knowing that our babies (and house) will be perfectly cared for. He really goes the extra mile for the pups and with general tasks around the house and we really appreciate it. Communication of all events, big or small, is quick and clear. I’ll recommend him forever to anyone!!”
About: I have owned dogs, cats, birds and reptiles for most of my adult life, and always had them in my home. I am retired and want to spend my free time with animals. I currently have one dog, a 15-pound neutered male, Leo. I am not working, so have plenty of time to help take care of your pet. I don't mind getting up early, like dog walks, and have a very flexible schedule. I have a good-sized fenced back yard, and a very friendly and playful dog in my home. I live within two blocks of Forest Hill Park, and walk there several times per day.
“We were very happy with the care and communication regarding our cat Cali. She took the time to play and brush her, which I know she loves. I would recommend Jasmine as well as use her in the future.”
“Nick was great! He took great care of our cats, fish, and Guinea pig. It was wonderful receiving pics of our furry family and he even brought the mail in. I would 100% use his services again.”

“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.”
“Alyssa has been an amazing pet sitter for our high-energy dog. She has been great with our unpredictable schedule and has been an awesome communicator. We are very grateful we could find her on Rover!”
“Heather was very responsive and communicative. She took great care of our cat, followed all our instructions and is the first pet-sitter he came out for. She was very respectful of our house. We would definitely rebook with Heather again!”
About: Hi! I’m Cheyenne, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on professional experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I previously worked at a kennel-free dog boarding facility, where I helped care for multiple dogs at once in a safe, supervised environment. I’ve also worked as a full-time dog walker and pet sitter, providing daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medication administration, and lots of attention and playtime. Animals have always been part of my life—I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and currently care for my own pets as well. Because of my background in both professional animal care and customer service, I understand how important communication and trust are when someone else is caring for your pet. What you can expect when your pet is with me: • Reliable, on-time care • Regular photo and text updates • Safe handling for dogs with different temperaments • Experience with multi-dog households • Lots of attention, enrichment, and play Whether your dog needs a walk while you’re at work, drop-in visits while you’re away, or extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! I work a hybrid office jobs with very flexible hours. When I do go into the office, my office is dog friendly so I can bring a furry friend along if they enjoy the socialization! I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and any specific routines your pet is used to. During visits, I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and enrichment they need, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or just companionship. I also make sure basics like fresh water, clean feeding areas, and litter boxes are taken care of. For dog walks, I focus on safe handling, appropriate exercise for your dog’s energy level, and making sure they return home happy and settled. I always send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while keeping you informed and at ease.
“Danyelle is AMAZING!!! Took such great care of my boys over a holiday. Gave me daily updates and even put up with some of their eating "quirks", which isn't always easy. But she was super patient with them and gave them all the love they needed while I was gone. I was so super happy and relaxed to know they were in such great and caring hands. Heck, even just the trek to my trash can for litter box cleaning was an extra effort in and it's self. Can't recommend Danyelle enough!”
“Deanna was great! I was away longer than usual but felt confident all was well because of Deanna’s detailed updates. Everything was perfect when I came back. I would definitely use her again.”
“Amazing communication and so sweet with my pup. She sent the cutest photos and I plan on continuing to use Maggie for all services!! 10/10 would recommend”

Kay did a wonderful job caring for my cat by giving him medication and playing with him. I got detailed reports on the visits including great photos. I could tell that he was having a great time. It’s clear that Kay is excellent with cats, conscience of their needs and personalities, and willing to ensure continuity in routine.
Kade always does a wonderful job of taking care of our cats. They’re relaxed when we return and our house is in good order! Kade also takes the best pictures and it’s so fun to see them while we’re away. Kade is caring, responsive, kind and a general pleasure!!
Jacob really puts in the work to make sure our animals are taken care of and to keep us informed on how they're doing while we're away. This was our second time booking his service and we'll very likely reach out to him again when we have more travel plans in the future. We highly recommend his service to anyone who wants to be sure their animals are being looked after by someone who truly cares about their well being.
Nina has looked after our two cats twice now and she will always be the first sitter that I look next time I need to book a sitter! Both cats were extremely well cared for and I have total peace of mind while on vacation knowing she is looking after them. She shares great updates and it is clear to me she “gets” our two quirky cats. Thank you as always, Nina!
We asked Grace to check in on our crazy orange cat a few times while we were out of town pretty last-minute, and she exceeded all expectations! She sent lots of pictures and gave great summaries each time she visited. Our cat hates to be alone for too long, and it was such a relief to know that Grace was giving her some much-needed love and attention! We'd definitely use Grace's services again in the future.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Theresa. A friend recommended her to me, and she watched my cat over a long weekend. Right from the initial meet-and-greet, I knew she was the perfect fit, she immediately got down on the floor to meet my cat on her level, which meant so much. While we were gone, her attention to cleanliness and detail was great. She cleaned the water bowls and soft food dishes daily and handled the litter box exactly as instructed. I absolutely loved the tons of photo updates she sent, you could see how safe and comfortable my cat felt around her. On top of everything, she was incredibly accommodating with a last-minute request. I am so grateful for her care and will definitely be booking her again!
