“Lauren provided amazing service! She was attentive, reliable, and treated my sister's cat with so much care. I felt completely at ease knowing she were in her hands. I will definitely be booking her again.”
“Meg did an amazing job. She gave me updates and reported anything of concern. My cat needed daily medication and she had no issues giving it to her despite Gypsy not being a fan of pills. I really appreciate the time and care she brought to my sick kitty. Would definitely use her again.”
“This is the second time using Sharon and we are very happy with her service! She is very reliable, responsive and pleasant to work with. We feel she treats and takes care of our 3 cats if they were her own. She not only does the litter boxes, replenishes their food and water but finds time to play with them, give them TLC and treats. I would highly recommend Sharon to baby sit your pets!”
“adrianna was a dream to have taking care of Goose! she was responsible, trustworthy, and Goose loved her from the first moment they met. very happy with everything, would 10/10 recommend her to watch your pets too!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Natalie is so so sweet! She communicated in a timely matter. Asked us lots of questions about our cat. I was nervous because this was the first time we left him for long. I will totally have Natalie come back again and again!”
“Amber was fantastic! She and Loki got along right away at the Meet-and-Greet, which we weren't sure about since he hasn't met many new folks since we brought him home from the shelter. We greatly appreciated the photos each day, and Loki seemed to enjoy Amber's company and evening pets. This was our first time booking a cat sitter, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with Amber again.”
“We just returned home from vacation, and in the meantime left our cat, Mister T in the care of pet sitter Stephanie S. We were extremely pleased with the level of care that Stephanie provided. Rover is a professional, well-organized operation, and I am very happy that I found them and Stephanie. In advance of our trip, Stephanie conducted a meet-and-greet with me and Mister T in our home. During the trip, I received reports and pictures about how everything was going after each visit. Stephanie was absolutely amazing and understanding of Mister T's needs. She is knowledgeable about how to care for cats and pets in general. I learned so much from her during our conversations which will make me a better cat mom!! I cannot be happier with the service she provided. I highly recommend Rover, and will definitely call them again each time we go out of town. Thank you for everything! Vanessa D”
“Andrea took great care of our older cat while we were away on vacation. She provided pictures of our cat living her absolute best life under Andrea’s care. She is very prompt and responsive when you reach out with questions or to book. Will definitely be rebooking with Andrea in the future!”
“Davene is a wonderful cat sitter! She just took care of my three kitties over Thanksgiving. I appreciated how quick she was to respond to my request and her offer of an initial visit to meet the cats and get our instructions in person. She was very gentle and sweet with the kitties, and I could tell that they really liked her. Davene followed all instructions and left the place neat and clean. I highly recommend her and look forward to booking with her again.”

My love for animals doesn't stop there, I have worked in the zoological industry for the past 20 years. My first 15 years as a zookeeper and the last 5 as a zoo curator. If you have domestic farm animals or exotics of any kind, I am very comfortable caring for them.

If you are looking for someone with a wealth of experience in caring for animals, please reach out. I am working full time, but am still able to overnight, if needed. Otherwise, I am available for any morning and evening care that is wanted. I'd prefer not to take care of any pets in my home for the time being due to the fact that we have several fosters, as well as our own pets.
