“Anne did a wonderful job with my very skittish kitty. She usually is terrified of strangers, but the photos Anne sent me from each visit showed how quickly my cat warmed to her. I highly recommend Anne and am using her again in a couple of months.”
“Karen was excellent with our new house additions. Our two 9 week old kittens love Karen and were excited to see her as was obvious by her drop-in pictures. Karen even helped us with a little bug problem that emerged while we were gone. Highly recommend Karen for all your dog walking or pet sitting needs.”
“Juliana did an excellent job watching our two kittens, and we were especially grateful that she was available during the holidays. When they had the zoomies and somehow managed to disconnect the internet while we were away, she handled it right away and even remembered to plug the router back in without any issues. She was also great about taking care of any other requests we had. Most importantly, she was really sweet and attentive with our girls, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely hire her again in the future.”
“Becky had excellent communication throughout the entire process and my cat immediately responded well to her presence. Both resulted in putting my mind at ease with using Rover for the first time.”
“Amy was wonderful. She was affectionate and you could tell that she loved animals. She sent pictures of my puppy when she got there and while she was playing . I would recommend Amy and I will use her again.”
“Breanna has been nothing but great with our little girl, McKinley, a calico cat. Sends detailed information for each visit with pics & sometimes a video. She’s moving from our area so I’ll have to find someone else as caring as her. Highly recommend”
About: I have always been surrounded by different household animals. Dogs, cats, crabs, fish. I do not currently have the resources to have my own furry friend but have carved time to begin walking and sitting to still have an outlet for pet connection. I am eager to get into a conversation and discuss some options. Chat soon :) I am flexible. Looking to build my work schedule around walking and sitting. I would like to walk dogs early in the morning 5/6 am but flexible to walk at night as well When walking dogs, I am aware of soundings to keep them safe. I will keep them to the route planned and expected to ensure habits follow as normal.
“Nicole is the best!!! We were a little nervous to try Rover for the first time with our two cats, one of which requires daily medication. She was so responsive and loving for our kitties!!! She made the entire experience stress free. We can’t wait to work with her again!”
“Sarah was amazing with my special needs kitty, little baby No No Pants. He's a one eyed, limited vision in the remaining eye, hearing impaired little gremlin who was recovering from dental surgery when she met us for a meet a greet and ultimately cared for him while I was away for the first time over the Easter holiday. She handled all of his special needs along with his quirks with care and patience. She allowed him to get acquainted on his terms, which meant becoming his personal jungle gym to investigate her head to toe. She followed all of his care instructions wonderfully, sent adorable pictures to keep me posted on how he was doing, and totally put my worries and anxiety at ease while I was away. I came home to a happy well cared for little guy. She's officially No No approved with two paws up for sure!”
“I was very nervous to leave my pets behind, but Barbara’s in-depth notes, photos, and flexibility helped make it a lot less stressful. I felt safe knowing my cats were in good hands.”
“Caroline was a lifesaver! She accommodated us as a last minute request when our flights got changed when a snow storm changed our plans. She is a great communicator and was awesome with our very timid cats. 10/10 !”
“Andrea was a fantastic cat sitter! She provided high-quality care for my two special-needs cats, including administering twice-daily nose drops with patience and care. She was communicative, kind, and took the time to learn their routines, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Amberleigh was very attentive to my cats and provided me with frequent updates throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind. She also voluntarily tidied up around my apartment including cleaning my hardwood floors and wiping surfaces. I highly recommend her!”
“Absolutely amazing from start to finish! She took the time to do a meet and greet to meet our goldendoodle peaches. Asked questions about how we were transitioning her kibble and gave loving care to our puppy while we were away at work. Her reports are detailed with videos and pictures of all the fun they had and she even offered to clean my floors when they got dirty from the salt on our sidewalk from the snow storm we had last week. You will not regret booking her!”
“Thor told me how happy he was to have a daily visit from Kai and Devon. He especially enjoyed the special wet food treat and expects that to continue. Thank you Kai and Devon for keeping my fur baby happy.”

Robyn is an incredible companion to our Zoey, and an indefatigable sitter! She took her vehicle over a mound of snow that was dumped in front of our driveway & made her way into our house! That was amazing! We appreciate her caring manner with Zoey so much! She always goes above & beyond what we ask her, even bringing new toys for our kitty. She even watered some drooping plants, and feeds the deer for us when we’re away. Thank you! Thank you!
Juliana was great with my two cats while I was away for a long weekend. She gave my older, more social cat lots of attention and was really patient with my younger, more skittish cat giving him the space he needs but still making sure he was okay. I already booked her again for drop-in visits for an upcoming trip, and I’d definitely recommend her!
OLIVIA was awesome watching my kitty while I was away! She followed all the instructions I asked for which was important to me not only because Buttons is disabled/special needs, but the little guy is also a bit *needy lol. You can tell shes def an animal lover and from the many pics she sent me, Buttons absolutely loved her. I had such peace of mind knowing he was well cared for and I dont think my furbaby noticed I was actually out of town, well not too much, lol.
Amberleigh did a great job with Luna and was very nice to work with. Very communicative and took great pictures. Gave us important updates about how she was doing and how her visits went. Really cared about Luna and took the time to play and spend time with her. Flexible and willing to work with us for Luna’s needs.
Nancy went above and beyond to make sure my cat was taken care of...Her throrough updates, photos, timeliness, and genuine care for the cat gave me the confidence and assurance that he was in the best hands. She did more than asked to make sure that the cat (and I) were happy.
Taylor is wonderful to work with, Buddy loves her, but Batman is always a no show since he is so shy. Taylor stayed in touch with me the entire time I was out of the country and sent updated pictures. We will be requiring her services again in March which has already been discussed.
Riley was very helpful with our cats and understanding their personalities. She kept in touch and let us know about their daily activities to ensure everything was good with both cats. She provided feedback on their habits and was super helpful in answering our questions.
i have 100% confidence and trust in chelsea and john. they're the best! they really go above and beyond to ensure that our cat is well taken care of while we're away. the level of communication they provide is exceptional. basically, we couldn't ask for more. we're already repeat customers of chelsea/john and will continue to be. thank you so much!!
