Lexi is a five star sitter. My two scaredy cats— typically who like to hide from strangers— warmed up fairly quick. Lexi is extremely communicative, friendly, and thoughtful. Left my home better than I left it when I went on my trip (cleaned the area around food and water as well as the litter box). An absolute recommend from me!

I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!

About: As an independent contractor, I make my own schedule. This allows me to operate on a very flexible calendar. In addition to being the go-to care taker for the pets in my circle, I also have a lifestyle that allows for me to go the extra mile and hangout longer, play more, and go for longer walks! I currently make my own schedule. So pet care fits in tremendously. I work as a freelance film and commercial laborer. Being in charge of my calendar allows me to schedule accordingly to take care of your pet! Having two cats of my own, while I can't house animals at my own residence, I am very familiar with the needs of pets. Playtime, treats, head scratches, and the like. I love every animal deeply and with a great respect. I treat every space with the utmost dignity and try to keep as small of a footprint as possible when entering someone's home. I have been house sitting, dog/cat watching for many years now. I look forward to ensuring you have an enjoyable, trustworthy experience when working with me.

About: Lifelong dog enthusiast and proud paw-rent to two goofy Goldendoodles! With years of experience caring for pups, I offer reliable dog walking, drop-in visits, and cozy in-home boarding. I am patient, loving, and dedicated to giving your dog the best care possible. When your dog is with me, they’re family. Let's get those tails wagging! I love dogs and have been taking care of them for more than 8 years. My neighbors enjoy leaving their fur babies with me while they are away. I work part time but mostly home for frequent potty breaks and playing time. Your pet will be taken care of like they are my own. I have a big fenced yard for playing and running around!! Your pet is free around my house unless you have a a preference. My 2 doodles love to snuggle on the couch 😂

About: I have been watching pets for years and would love to provide great care to yours as well! I know how important your pet is to you and you can trust that I have years of experience taking care of animals. I have lived with pets my entire life, so I know how to recognize body language and anxiety. That knowledge is supplemented by my experience volunteering at animal shelters for four years. I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering at the Ohio State University. Outside of my classes, I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I currently cannot keep pets at my home. However, I am always happy to watch pets in your home! I can overnight petsit or do only day visits or dog walks. Pet parents have trusted me taking care of their pets in their home for years.

Zack was amazing with my cat! This was my first time using Rover, and he went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with the process. He was extremely communicative while I was away and kept me informed about everything going on with Phileas. The daily photos were such a bonus and really put my mind at ease.

About: I’ve been raised with animals my whole life! I have had various cats, fish, dogs and, even a hedgehog over the years. I was also responsible for walking the two family dogs. I’ve pet sat several times for family friends in the past. I love cats and dogs, (of any size) and have true compassion for any animal I meet, as if they were my own pet. Let me know if you have any questions! I work Monday-Friday, 9-5. I am flexible to stop by early mornings, after work, and on the weekends! I’m happy to work with you to determine the best schedule that fits your pets needs. If I am in your home to complete a service the utmost caution would be exercised to respect your space while caring for your furry friend!

Kimberlee took wonderful care of my cat, Berry, while I was abroad. From the beginning, she was professional, kind, and extremely attentive. Being away can always bring a bit of concern, but she made the entire experience stress-free. She kept me updated consistently with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after and treats them with patience and affection. I came back to a happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for cat — which says everything. I would absolutely book Kimberlee again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate on Rover.
