“Laura is a wonderful choice if you are looking for someone to watch your pet. She is the only one I want spending time with my pup when I am away. Always goes above and beyond leaving detailed messages and does a great job. Laura should always be your first pick!”
“Megan rocks ! She was super cool when she came over to check out the house and the animals. She sent me photos and updates, I will absolutely use her again!!! ✨”
“Theo took such great care of my oldgirl kitty that when I got home, she was curled up in deep sleep. I rarely am away overnight. Miss Tippi is an anxious tiny. To see her well fed and relaxed put me at ease. I would highly recommend him!”
“As always, Alyssa went above and beyond for our dog and chickens. She sends thorough and thoughtful notes. I am always happy to see how well cared for everyone is when we get back.”
“Juli was amazing with doing drop in visits with my dog. She always sent pictures of the visit and a thorough update. I’m know my dog loved her visits! I will definitely rebook Juli on any future needs I have!”
“Christina came to my rescue last minute in a tough situation and has become our weekly walker. I am so incredibly grateful for the consistent help, flexibility, and experience with reactive dogs. Highly recommend!!!”
“Holly was outstanding! We have two cats and three birds that needed care while we were out of town, and we are always concerned about people who care for the birds - they tend to nip at people they don’t like, which is pretty much everyone. Holly spent quite a bit of time with everyone at the meet and greet, and all of the critters liked her immediately - from our mercurial birds to our extremely shy cat to our extremely opinionated cat. She was extremely accommodating and flexible, and I can say without a doubt that this is the best care that everyone has had while we were out of town - she spent a lot of quality time interacting and playing with everyone, and they were all in great moods when we came back home. I cannot recommend Holly enough— she is most definitely an animal lover and it shows.”
“Highly recommend Carrie if you need a cat sitter! Carrie did check-ins for my senior cat while we were away for 7 days during Thanksgiving week. I was a bit nervous, as I've never had to leave my cat alone for that long before. The meet-and-greet with Carrie alleviated all my worries! She was wonderful with our cat, and gave him so much love, attention, and play time while we were away. Her update reports were always detailed and lovely to read, and she sent tons of great photos with each report. Everything was clean when we returned home (cat box empty/clean, litter swept off the floor). Carrie was always on time for meet-ups, check-ins, key exchanges etc, and is the perfect person to have check-in on your pet! :) I'll definitely be reaching out to her again next time we need someone to check on our cat!”
“Alyssa was great! Our Puli, Ellie warmed up to her immediately. This was our first experience through Rover and it couldn’t have gone any better. We will definitely plan to use her services in the future! Thank you, Alyssa!”
“Quinn was great to communicate with and made the whole process really smooth even when my request was last minute. She gave me updates and took great care of Rocky!”
“Brooklyn is awesome! She is consistent, sweet with my dog, quick to respond and so trust worthy! She will be requested anytime help with our doggo is needed!”
About: I love animals I’ve been around them my whole life life and was even have a cat of my own I love to spend time with them and keep them safe I’m working from home so have availability all throughout the day and I can take them on walks all throughout the day no matter the time of day I have two separate rooms and can separate them if need be I have open space in my apartment to play and be comfortable here
“Alyssa was so sweet when caring for my baby kitten! I definitely felt like Mini was in good hands with her! And she made sure to send SO MANY cute pics 😇 will rebook with Alyssa again!”
“Loved having Hope care for our pup. She did 4 drop-in visits with feedings, walks. Gave us welcome feedback on the pup, who seemed well cared-for. Hope was easy to work with, friendly & personable, reliable. She even noticed an unplanned delivery & brought it in for us. Would recommend her with no hesitation!”
“I highly recommend having Paul watch your family pet. My little Ava fell in love with him. He was thorough in his visits, gave so much affection to Ava, sent photos on walks, playing outside, and just relaxing on the sofa. This was her first Rover experience and it was magnificent. Thank you Paul!”
“Emily was wonderful with our cats! She sent a note and pictures everyday for us. I would highly recommend her and will definitely hire her again when we need to be gone.”
About: I adore all sorts of critters, and have been pet-sitting and doing animal care for years. I grew up on a farm doing all the animal care chores for a variety of animals. I became the first stop for any friends and family who needed help during vacation season. I have years of experience pet sitting for dogs, cats, and some experience with reptiles and exotic pets. I am very comfortable taking care of a variety of pet needs, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you critter needs extra care or some medical support, its one of my favorite parts of caring for little creatures. I am currently not working, so I can prioritize giving your pet quality care and a host of time and attention. I am open for any sort of scheduling you might need!! I have no others pets and I have prioritized making my space open and safe while remaining cozy. My apartment is very sunny with a lot of open spots for good basking. I have all the basics your pet might need, though please be sure to bring all their favorite toys so I can play with them!
“Arianna was great! She dropped in on a consistent and reliable schedule (even through the holidays) and spent more than her required time with our cats. She made sure both pets got plenty of attention. We got up to date photos and comments about every visit. Definitely will rebook!!”

Susie has checked in on my kitties and provided them excellent care a few times now-my super anxious one even comes out of hiding when she is dropping in. She is always the first person I ask and it puts my mind at ease to know she is going to be with them! I highly recommend her. She goes the extra mile and even stopped by to remove a possibly dangerous item the cats could have gotten into if they got bored enough, outside of the window I booked her because I was worried the cats could get into something they shouldn't have. All around, she provides 5 star service and really loves cats. :)
Kayla is absolutely fantastic! This was our first time utilizing rover and she made the experience so easy and stress free! She is very sweet, honest and transparent. We would get constant updates and pictures, even bonus tips on our pet. We will definitely contact Kayla again!
We’ve been working with Juli for several years now. Although we only ask her to come by intermittently, she is always our first choice. We trust her completely with our fur family. She’s an excellent communicator and completely dependable. One of the things we like the best is her comprehensive and detailed report cards and she takes lots of pictures. Juli is an absolute pro and we really appreciate her!
This was our first experience leaving our beloved calico, Macy, with a non-family member during a trip. We're so happy it was with Kayleigh. Our normally reserved cat greeted her at our first meeting with ankle rubs, as if she were a family member! Kayleigh kept in touch every day sending several pictures, and she even took care of the ants who invaded Macy's food bowl! We'd be very happy to have her help again on our next trip.
Holly took care my 2 cats for 5 days and she was great! It was obvious right away that she has a love for animals and she was great with my girls, going above and beyond to make sure their needs were met. She also sends pictures and an overview of her visits each time, and is responsive to my questions . I will definitely book Holy in the future!
10/10 would recommend & rebook. Megan was really great with our fur babies as well as keeping us informed while we were away. We forgot to leave the TV on for our pets and she remembered our conversation during our initial meeting, and turned on the TV for them. The peace of mind and care she provided was everything we could have asked for.
Michael is very trustworthy and he does a great job and gia trust him which is really rare he does a good job with her and he has 100% of my confidence Tia is a hard dog to work with she's got higher anxiety and I'm really happy to find someone that can deal with that I highly recommend him
