“Avery is awesome! They dropped in to make sure our cat had some company and food while we went on a last minute trip. They also watered our garden and brought in some packages that arrived when we were away! Great communication and photos to put us at ease. Thanks Avery!!”

“Kimberly was fantastic! She took great care of our two cats and made sure they had everything they needed. We also had a power outage while we were gone and Kimberly was able to make it a stress free experience regardless!”

“Angela was fantastic! She came over to meet us and our pets and exchange information prior to our weekend away. She followed our directions, spent quality time with our pets, gave lots of feedback (which is really important to us) and photos, and left the house in good condition. We will definitely be using her services again. Can't say enough good things about our experience!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Alexis put us totally at ease leaving our cat in her care. Alexis was kind enough to stop by a few days before to meet us and our cat. Our skittish former-street cat took to her immediately, curled up with her, and Alexis was great at not only feeding her, but providing companionship a lnd many pets/scratches. She sent great Rover Cards and sweet photos. I would 100% use her again!!”


About: I have owned dogs and cats for 27 years and have learned that each pet is unique and deserving of great love and care. I've trained a puppy, rescued a young dog, given dogs and cats medicine, taken care of an ailing senior animal, gone on long walks and given plenty of belly rubs. I recently left my full-time job to focus on freelancing. This gives me flexibility and lots of time to care for pets. I would like to establish long-term relationships with pets and their owners. If I'm checking in on your pet, I will respect your home as if it were my own. I'll follow your care instructions to the letter, and make sure your pet feels safe and happy. For walks, I'll provide the utmost care to ensure your pet is safe while getting the amount of exercise and outdoor activity they need.

“Charlotte was incredibly efficient, always arriving on time and following my instructions. Communication was a breeze; she kept me updated with photos and messages, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loves her! He was happy and well cared for, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

About: My family has had cats since I was 13 years old and we’ve fostered and found homes for many strays. I adopted my dog when she was 8 weeks old, 8 years ago. I understand the deep love and concern all pet parents have for their babies because I see Juju as my child. I would love to help provide trustworthy and compassionate care for your pets! I also rely on Rover when I’m at work 3 days a week and I’d love to spend my days off helping other pet parents and animals feel safe and supported. I only work three days a week so I have a lot of flexibility. I’m off every other weekend so I have some weekend availability too. I’m happy to feed, walk, play with, cuddle, and care for your pet in any way that you need! I’m also comfortable with administering medication.
About: I have been dog-sitting/house-sitting since sophomore year of high school, and my customers always have high praise. I ensure your house will remain clean, and your pets happy. I am respectful to your rules for your home and pets, and love to spend time with them! I love nature and willing to take your dog on an adventure during our walk, and I love to run with dogs, so I can ensure a great workout for your pup. I’m very easy-going and super flexible with my time. I hope I can help you and your pets! I own two cats myself, and they're very social, thankfully though since they are cats my time is very flexible. I'm truly looking for something to fill in my time just like any service. I've house sat for all different types of pet situations, with training varying to a lot to none. I want your pet to enjoy my stay and not fear me, and I want to give you peace of mind of that while I'm there.
“Elliot was responsive, took great pictures, and seemed to enjoy our kitty!! We would hire him any time. He was also good at giving our pill-hating cat his daily pills!”


“Jackie has been amazing with our cats and has been the biggest life saver this summer! You couldn’t ask for a better person to check in on your fur babies! Thank you again as always Jackie!”

About: I don’t think I’ve had a time of my life that I didn’t have any dog around my house. Ever since I was a child, I was crazy about them and take care of them. Giving medications, feeding, brushing teeth and the fur, everything was on me. That was the least since they give so much love and helped me so much during my teenage years and adulthood. I have 3 dogs of my own, but recently moved to another country and now I miss them every single day. I would love to give your pet or puppy this love that I have for them, and this way I would not feel so sad for them not being here yet. I work from 9-4pm, so right now I cannot have walks during these hours of the day, but if you need walks prior these hours, or need someone trustworthy so you can travel, count me in, because I’m your girl. I’ll secure that you are updated about your pet every 4h, with pictures and videos, and also will entertain your pet so he/she won’t be sad when you are away! Let me share this love for your pet 🫶🏼 I always make sure that your pet has my attention all the time. I don’t have pets living with me right now, so I would care just for one pet at a time
“Kacey took excellent care of my two cats when I was gone and went above and beyond what I would expect from a sitter. I would definitely hire again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat sitter.”

About: I am a huge animal lover; I’ve had pets my whole life and know how much a routine matters to them, especially during a stressful time apart from their family. I’ve cared for a diabetic dog, giving insulin shots three times a day for years, and also babysat a diabetic cat — so I’m comfortable with medication schedules and special-needs care. I’m an active person who treats every fur baby like they are my best friend because that’s what they deserve! I have a flexible schedule and work from home Mondays and Fridays, so those days are perfect for midday walks or potty breaks — I can easily fit your pup into my schedule without rushing. On weekends, I’m open to house sitting or home visits, giving your pet consistent, attentive care while you’re away. I don’t board pets at my own home, so all care happens at your house, keeping your pet in their familiar, comfortable environment. During home visits or house sits, I follow your routines closely for feeding, walks, and medication, and I’m experienced with special and elder pet needs. I treat your home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
About: I'm just getting started taking care of pets professionally, but I've been looking after my friends and family's dogs since I was a kid. Looking forward to getting to know you and your four legged friends! I'm currently in grad school at the UofM, so my schedule is mostly dependent on when I have class. For the most part, I am available both weekdays and weekends. I am looking forward to visiting your pets in your home and treating that space with the respect it deserves! If you have any questions about my pet-sitring philosophy, don't hesitate to ask!

About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the importance of finding the right caregiver. I’m equipped to care for animals of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I have experience taking care of animals with all sorts of behavioral and medical needs, including animals with aggressive or anxious behaviors as well as those who require medication administration. I pride myself on being able to provide pet owners with the assurance that your furry family members are receiving the attention, love, and care they deserve while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to come by and play with your furry friend! I have the most availability Tuesday- Friday, at any time, with some occasional exceptions being between 5:30-7:00pm. I am traveling the last week of July, from July 24-August 4, and I am leaving for college on August 21. What’s most important to me is that your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for at home. I take note of the individual needs and preferences of each pet, and adjust my energy level to make them feel as loved and comfortable as possible while their pet parent is away. I am more than happy to spend as much time as needed outside or inside, close or at a distance, high or low energy.
About: I’m a social worker, a mom to 2 pit bulls, 1 senior cat, and 1 human toddler. I grew up on a farm and I am a lifelong animal lover. Between the various needs of my creatures at home, and my experience over the last 20 years, I’m well equipped to take care of your babies. I have somewhat flexible availability during the week, and even more so on the weekends. I work from home some days of the week and can pop out as needed. I am attentive to your instructions for care and walk in with eyes wide open. If something seems off, I’ll let you know right away. I’m also happy to send cute pics to reassure you that your babies are doing great :)
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was about 6. I’ve grown up with both small and large dogs, specifically Golden Retrievers, Labs, and Boston Terriers. I have cared for my dogs as well as other other people’s. Hi! I’m Sydney! I am a law student at Case Western and am living in Little Italy. I love going on walks and would love to walk dogs as part of my daily routine. My weekends are relatively quiet, making me a good fit for in home dog care! I will care for pets according to instructions, including frequent potty breaks, walks, and play time as needed. I am able to provide medicine as well as specific food requests if necessary.

Kimberly is a dog persons dog person. She is conscientious and caring, her photography of my dogs is among the best I've ever experienced. Kimberly has a great sense of humor and truly loves dogs. I know that I will be booking her again in the future because she made me completely comfortable that my fur babies were in the care of someone that loves them as much as I do. I can unequivocally recommend Kimberly as a dog care professional.

Charlotte was incredibly efficient, always arriving on time and following my instructions. Communication was a breeze; she kept me updated with photos and messages, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loves her! He was happy and well cared for, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

Kate did a wonderful job taking care of our young cat, Ruby, while we were away on vacation. She communicated clearly throughout our trip, including letting us know if her arrival times needed to shift. She quickly won Ruby over with plenty of playtime, snuggles, and attention, which gave us real peace of mind. She also went above and beyond to water our plants during the heat wave which we really appreciated. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. We would happily recommend Kate to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter!

Lindsay is the best! I can tell my kitties loved her, because they usually make themselves pretty scarce when they have pet sitters, but Lindsay has tons of photos of them. She also went pretty far out of her way to make a visit happen when an unexpected neighborhood festival made my home pretty tough to get to. Lindsay will really go the extra mile for furbabies!
Jimena is great! When I first met her for the meet and greet, I knew immediately that I could trust her to provide my 3 dogs and 1 cat with the best possible care over the next four days (while I was out of town). Over those 4 days, whenever she had a question, she did not hesitate to ask. She also provided me with updates, including pics, after every visit. When I arrived back, everything was very clean and orderly. No complaints whatsoever. Will definitely ask her back the next time I have to travel.
