“We will keep asking Andrea to help us with our kitties until the end of time. She has great communication with us and she delivers oral meds to our stubborn cat with no complaints. Our cats are always cared for and loved when Andrea visits. Highly recommend booking with Andrea!”

“Michelle did an absolutely phenomenal job! She was extremely responsive & communicative -- the many photos she sent each visit made it very clear that our babies felt safe and comfortable with her. She followed instructions perfectly and left everything tidy for our return. I couldn't be happier that I've found a forever sitter for my babies! I highly recommend Michelle and rate the overall service with Rover as excellent. Thank you! 😻😻😻”

“Bri was a huge help with my Pitt/lab mix giving him a walk last minute over the weekend when I had travel plans. He is leash reactive and pulls a lot at any animal he sees, but she was very sweet and I will use her again!”

“Brianna is just wonderful. She took great care of my two kitties. She is kind, patient and very communicative. I have a very shy kitty and she warmed up to Brianna quickly. I had peace of mind while I was away and completely trust her in my home. Thank you Brianna for taking such good care of my kitties!”

About: I have experience with seizures and strokes in dogs, am able to administer any kind of medication, and have some experience with animals struggling with anxiety. I am a graduate student just looking for some fulfilling part time work. I am available at any point during the weekdays and after October 31st on the weekends I will not be able to host any animals, but I plan on prioritizing the pet’s comfort within their own home and making sure all needs are met

About: Hi, I'm Brittany! I'm a Christian, proud dog mom to Bailey, and an animal lover with a heart for serving others. While I'm new to professional pet sitting and dog walking, I believe what sets me apart is the love, patience, and attention I give every pet. I know our furry friends are family, and I treat them that way! You can count on regular updates, lots of affection, and dependable care every step of the way. My faith guides me to serve with kindness, honesty, and compassion, and I'd be honored to care for your four-legged family member as if they were my own. 🐾💕 I currently work full time from home which allows me to be available for care in my home. I am also free after work because i have a open schedule after work I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine, providing plenty of love, exercise, and attention, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I have take care of dogs and cats since I can remember. I’ve always had family pets that I looked after. Recently I started to pet sit professionally and have looked after pets with all manners of personalities and needs. I am currently working full time with a hybrid schedule. Monday through Wednesday in the office and Thursday through Friday remote. I am free every weekend and anytime after 5pm. Because each pet parent is unique and has their own ways to raise and care for their pets I strictly adhere to their rules and guidelines. That includes areas they have their pets walk and house rules for those that request house sitting.

About: I grew up with a variety of animals all around me, but I have especial experience with dogs and cats. I am a cat mama of 1 sweet, docile senior kitty. I am a 1st year medical student at the Jacobs School of Medicine, and I would love to take care of the furry friends in my new community! I am a full-time medical student. My first priority when I return home is my sweet old kitty, and your pet would join him in that spot as well! I am prompt to give abundant attention and play, and I follow a diligent feeding schedule. My cat is very socialized (grew up in a household of 7 people and 4 other cats/dogs), and he is fully up-to-date on his vaccinations. I love animals and would love to give a little extra care to others’ fur babies when I can! The safety and wellbeing of my cat is my number one priority, and I treat all animals to this same standard. I love showering my cat with attention, and I of course would pour my love into your pet as well. I am extremely mindful of respecting animals’ boundaries as well, and playing to the tune that is right for them. I love to embrace the unique animal personalities which come my way, and I am happy to accommodate pet needs as they present!

“Ciara was super responsive and helpful when I needed a new cat sitter on really short notice! She wanted to know absolutely everything abt my cat's routine to make him as comfortable as possible while I was gone, and he loved her so much even though he's often pretty skittish around new people. I got lots of photos and detailed reports every day, she was really attentive to his behavior and making sure he was okay, and overall was just fantastic!”

About: Calling all 2nd shift workers! If your pet needs a walk or check-in during the afternoon or early evening, I'm your girl. My weekday availability is (temporarily) limited to 2:30 pm - 8:30 pm. Weekend availability is pretty open. Hello, pet people! I took a 5-year hiatus from Rover due to some life changes, but I'm back to offering walks and drop-ins. If your work schedule and busy life are keeping you from giving your pup the exercise and attention they need, I'm here to help. Pets have always been a part of my life. Currently, our family has two birds and one dog: a 26-pound Mini Pinscher mix that keeps us on our toes. Professionally, I'm a freelance pet journalist, and I've covered everything from "enforced puppy naps" to "touch sensitivity" and beyond. While I'm certainly enthusiastic about meeting any dog or cat, I also understand some pets need a gentler approach. Every dog (and cat) is an individual, with their own unique preferences and personality. That's why I'll spend some time getting to know them at our first meet-and-greet. I do freelance work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I can pop in for a check-in or "sniffari" walk when it works best for your pooch: mornings, afternoons, or early evenings. If you'd like to establish a weekly schedule, we can work that out, too! Safety on walks is my top priority. I'll make sure harnesses are properly fitted, leashes are secure, and water is available. I also check for hot pavement in warm months, snow salt in cold months, and slippery conditions in rainy, mucky weather. If your dog is reactive on leash, we can talk strategy (avoiding other dogs or triggers). And if your dog has a high prey drive like mine, I'll keep an eye out for rascally squirrels.

About: I’m a pet owner myself and know how important our fur babies are to us! I currently have some time in my schedule that allows me to help others out with their babies as well! I have most mornings and evenings open. Allowing me to do drop in visits. Whether you’re out of town and want someone to check in or need daily drop ins to make sure the babies are good, I can be there! I care for pets in clients homes and communicate with them on their needs for each pet. Im comfortable distributing medication, handling dietary restrictions, waste removal, and much more!

About: Ive had three cats and two dogs in my life. Currently I have two cats and they are my world. In many instances I've had a cat or dog that doesn't like anyone besides family come up and become my new best friend. Also have been trusted to watch multiple friends animals while on vacation because they loved our time together more than anyone else. During the week it would be a drop in sitting with minimal overnight stays after work. Which means its not out the question but not consistent. Weekends I have more flexibility for overnight stays. My cats are indoors, fed a heathly diet, and stimulated. While at the clients house its dependent on the type of animal and if the animal requires special care.

“Would I book Haley again? I already have! Haley is fantastic, she went above and beyond my expectations! Haley took AMAZING care of our three senior dogs, who have special needs. One of my dogs needs to have his bladder expressed due to a spinal injury, Haley went out of her way to learn how to express his bladder and ensure his comfort. Haley gave the dogs ample outdoor time, shared photos and detailed report cards throughout the day which gave us peace of mind. You can tell when your dogs had their basic needs met vs. when they also had enrichment (play time, cuddles, etc.), my dogs clearly had enrichment with Haley taking care of them. The dogs were happy and content when we returned home, they hardly missed us! Cannot recommend Haley highly enough.”

We couldn’t have been happier with Saraphina’s care of Luna! Luna is a timid dog who is usually very slow to warm up to people, so we were especially surprised and happy to see how quickly she became comfortable with Saraphina. She really took the time to understand Luna and knew exactly how to handle her little quirks and anxiety. Her updates were thoughtful and relevant, and we especially enjoyed the fun little anecdotes about their visits. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Luna was in such good hands while we were away. We would absolutely have Saraphina care for Luna again!

Heather was fantastic! My cats loved her and they can be very picky! Heather made me feel secure in the decision to hire a professional pet sitter. Now that one of my cats needs medications multiple times a day, I needed a pro. Heather totally delivered and I plan on booking with her whenever I travel. If you’re nervous about trusting a stranger to watch your pets, you can absolutely rely on and trust Heather.

Deborah is my go-to sitter for my cat. She is kind, attentive, meticulous, punctual, and thorough. My cat is the center of my world, so it's no small thing for me to feel entirely comfortable with the person I have care for him when I have to be away. I am so grateful to have found Deborah and highly recommend her to others!

Kara was great with my beagle! We set up a meet and greet that went well! She helped us out when our other pet sitter had a conflict. There was a small miscommunication about the 1st arrival time but was quickly corrected. She did 2 drop in visits on a Saturday and spent an hour each time. Wore my baby out on the short walks and my pup slept great. Kara is very responsive and loving. Would definitely use her again!
