“As always, Joshua was great with our 2 kitties. They really warm up to him, which is wonderful - and he spends play time with them, which I'm sure they love. He even gives our boy his medicine twice a day - we'll be booking with him again for sure.”
“Jennifer has taken care of my cats two times now and she is great! She sends detailed notes about how the cats are doing (e.g., their energy levels, eating/behavioral patterns) and all the care needs she took addressed that day (such as cleaning the litter box). She also goes above and beyond and lets you know if anything seems different in your home. For example, she let me know that the lights were out when she came back to my place which helped keep me in the loop of anything unusual going on and made me feel even more comfortable leaving my cats in her care. She is also respectful of my cats’ individual needs. I have one very energetic, playful cat and one that is very anxious and hides. Jennifer makes sure to give my playful cat a lot of love and attention and gives my anxious cat his space while still ensuring that he is safe and sound. She follows all of the detailed care needs and keeps everything clean and tidy. I would 100% recommend Jennifer and will definitely contact her again for my next trip.”
“Rachel was on time for each visit & did a great job! My kitties tend to scatter litter after using the litter box & she did a great job cleaning up after them. She also was good at communicating with me via text about whether the kitties would come out of their hiding places (they tend to be shy around new people for the first couple of days). I would recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a reliable & friendly pet sitter.”
“We came across Ania, very last minute and Ania was awesome and very responsive from the moment we were looking to book her and after when we were giving her instructions for our cat. Our cat was very comfortable to approach her. We highly recommend her!”
“Tiffany was great! The kitties didn't seem shy around her, and we knew they were in good hands. As first time Rover users we had concerns about letting someone into our home while we were gone, but she put us at ease quickly with the meet and greet visit.”
About: Your dog’s new best friend when you can’t be there! No matter the size, age, or energy level, I can adapt to your animals needs. Trust me to keep your fur baby safe, happy, and totally spoiled (in the best way). Belly-rub certified. I am currently a college student, but stays in the home area starting in the fall. I have a part time job as a barista at a local coffee shop. However I would love to find time in my schedule to spend time with your fur babies. You can trust me with your dog or cat because I treat every pet like they’re my own—with love, patience, and careful attention to their needs. I’m dependable, experienced, and always prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship, your pet will be in calm, capable hands while you're away.
“I returned home today and everything seems to be good. I was happy Jax was able to warm up to Christina so quickly. I have another tripped lined up next year. If Christina is available, I would love to have her again. Thank you so much.”
“Awesome sitter/drop in!!! My cats loved her, one for sure (the social one) and one I’m pretty sure because she wasn’t hiding I got home! Will definitely be asking her to help again!”
“Anne was wonderful with our two cats. She is obviously a very caring person and an animal lover, and she was comfortable with them very quickly. One of my cats is very social (he wants lots of affection) but the other one (a female) is very timid and fearful and prefers little to no touching. Anne kept them in separate rooms/areas as I'd requested, since the male will bully the female if given the chance and they may fight with each other. Anne also took extra precautions to ensure our 'lightning-fast' kitty could not run out of the house whenever doors were opened, which really eased my mind. The shy one felt comfy enough to rub herself on Anne's legs at feeding time! Anne also sent me daily updates, along with pictures - which was very appreciated since I was out of state! I am very happy with the care provided. I will book again with Anne whenever needed in the future. Thanks again, Anne!”
“Ma’lisa was fantastic with Tato! He immediately loved her and especially enjoyed playing string with her! She was very communicative and I will absolutely book her again!”
“Stephanie was great at taking care of our two cats who love a lot of play time and need special attention to their unique diets. It was great to be on our trip and see the pictures Stephanie took of our cats being loved on and happy while we were away. Highly recommend hiring her!”
About: I love helping others take care of their animals so that they may have peace of mind and not worry while they are working and/or traveling! I have a part time business and take my son to and from school during the school year and able to work around that to care for your animals! I am very flexible and easy to work with and I will love on your animals like they are my own! I have a fenced yard, a dog who is super friendly with other dogs and 2 cats. Very comfy home for animals and also love to go to clients home to walk and care for animals in their own space.
About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do it’s who I am. I’ve had pets my entire life and can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a dog in my home. With years of hands on experience, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I work from home, which means I can give your dog the attention, playtime, and companionship they need throughout the day whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or 24-hour boarding. Your dog will be treated with the same love and care I give to my own always safe, always loved, and never alone. I’ve had animals my whole life and can’t recall a time I didn’t have a dog by my side. I currently work from home, which means I’m able to give your pet the love, attention, and companionship they deserve whether it’s for a walk, a visit, or 24/7 care while boarding. I live in the peaceful Walden Lake area with access to several beautiful walking trails perfect for getting fresh air and exercise. I also have one dog of my own, a 10-year-old Jack Russell mix who is my absolute baby. I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I give him because they deserve nothing less. I work from home, so your dog will never be left alone and can get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced-in yard, giving your dog safe and easy access to potty breaks, fresh air, and playtime as often as they need. Plus, I live in the beautiful Walden Lake area with access to scenic walking trails for daily adventures. Whether it’s for a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, your dog will be in a home full of care, comfort, and companionship just like they deserve.
“Alex is wonderful! She was quick to communicate and quickly adjusted to a last minute change in our schedule. She provided pictures of my cats as requested and kept me informed! This is definitely the person to care for your pets!”
“This is the second time Micah has watched Biscuit. She is excellent. Biscuit my cat, seems to like and remember her. I always feel guilty leaving my cat especially for 6 days. Her daily reports and fantastic photography made me feel alittle better about leaving him. There was even one photo where she was scratching under his chin, his current favorite spot.”
“Carrie was absolutely amazing with our girl. This was our first time leaving her home as well as being new dog owners and she made us feel so comfortable the entire time. She updated us with everything and sent pictures of Callie daily. You can tell she's an animal lover right off and we couldn't be more pleased. Thank you Carrie!”

Sydney cat parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot say enough good things about Veronica G.! I had a sudden emergency come up and had to find someone to care for my cat at the very last minute. Thankfully, I found Veronica—and she was an absolute lifesaver. From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly responsive and understanding of my situation. She stepped in on such short notice and provided the kind of care that made me feel completely at ease. Veronica went above and beyond during her drop-in visits. She followed every instruction I left to the letter, and even took the time to send thoughtful updates, photos, and messages that truly showed how much she cared. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and my cat—who can be a little shy—warmed up to her quickly. That alone speaks volumes. It’s rare to find someone who’s not only dependable and professional, but also deeply compassionate. Veronica is all of those things and more. I felt so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in her care. A+++ service all around. I highly, highly recommend her and will absolutely be booking her again in the future. Thank you so much, Veronica!
