“Jason was great - this was our first time having him do drop - in’s for us and it was for a longer trip for us - 10 days out of state. He definitely went above and beyond and we would have him back.”

“Katherine was thorough with administering antibiotics and generally looking after my two cats. She also offered to help with my non furry friends and house plants which was a great help. Thanks!”

“Ally was awesome!! She took excellent care of Oliver and sent thorough feedback. I felt very comfortable being away knowing Oliver was in such good hands. Thank you!!”

“Absolutely stellar!! Great communication, took great care of my two cats. I was nervous about using a sitter, but Stephanie put me at ease and was very loving to the boys. I will be using her again.”

“Rachel is absolutely the best dog sitter we've ever worked with. Her timing was prompt, her communication was fantastic, and she went over and above on multiple occasions, including gracefully working with our oldest dog who had been scared by fireworks, making sure all of our pups' needs were met. We can't thank her enough!”
“My cats can be a little high maintenance, but Madeline did a good job caring for them. She reached out proactively with questions and concerns that popped up during her visits. I would have appreciated more substantial written summaries after each drop-in visit, but I’m also just anxious when I’m away from my kitties.”

“I’ve had Kenny for a week. She’s amazing . I couldn’t ask for a better drop in sitter to be honest. With the commitment, level of care PLUS the time spent I can’t imagine having hired anyone else. Moving forward she will be my go to. I intend to keep her for weeks. In the hospital having a baby and complications since I can’t come home and she made accommodations to meet me; tend to my home and my cat. Very professional. Personal with the cat. Brought his confidence way up. On time, communication is perfect and documentation for visits is very reassuring for me and my daughter. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Thank you Kenna!!”

“Jay was very easy to schedule with. He genuinely listened to my insane list of things for my cat, spent time playing with him, and made sure any accidents were cleaned up. As someone who has a cat with medical issues, I truly felt like my worries were attended to. I'm sure Blanket had a good time too!”

“Audrey was responsible, communicative, and always sent a note with photos of all the cats when she visited. She also played with the more active ones. Thanks! I will be using her services again in the future.”

“Isabel is wonderful! She was so patient with my fearful puppy as he got to know her and has been super accommodating to last minute changes. She goes above and beyond! Highly recommend her!”

“Ashley was great with our very big and high energy boy! She’s awesome and helping us with really getting him to be better with his basic commands. We appreciate the help so much. As well as the great communication and how kind she is (: will definitely be working with Ashley in the near future”

“Allie is so kind and does great work with our timid girl. Allie is patient and you can tell she is a great caregiver because she thinks of all of the little things (like placing her keys down to say hi because she knew keys might scare a nervous dog).”

“very communicative! i love that jennifer was able to tolerate my pebble's neediness and even check on moose who happened to be hiding under blankets! would definitely book with her again!”

About: I have grown up loving and caring for dogs of my own as well as others. I have always been the person people always call when they have some kind of animal emergency. I absolutely love animals and know a lot about taking care of them and many different types. They will get lots of attention and quality care from me. I will spoil your baby as much as you will let me! I can administer any medication necessary. My dog takes pain meds twice a day so we are already on a medication routine. I have a flexible schedule so I can meet most needs. I keep in contact with you asap if there are any changes that are needed. Now that my dog is getting older we will be lowering the energy levels and sizes, only taking small dogs. I live in a charming small house in the corner of Ferndale and a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. I have a fully fenced in backyard that is about 97% privacy fence. There’s one little corner where my dog can talk to the dog in back through a chain-link fence. Lots of shade and grass
About: I have had to raise both a puppy and older dog together, they puppy needed to be taken into work and my older dog to be played with and fed. I go to college, but have 4 days of the week that are free if I am needed, I love to walk and have the opportunity to given lovin to animals I have lots of patience and knowledge with taking care of pets, they are a part of your family too, so taking care of them is the highest priority
About: My family always had cats and dogs while I was growing up and I’ve also lived with animals on and off throughout my adult life. I wanted to use the down time that I have to care for local animals. I love both cats and dogs! I’m currently back in grad school pursuing a career pivot. I have ample time to care for animals throughout the week and weekends when I am not traveling. I can dog sit in my home, dog or cat sit in clients homes it nearby, and also drop in for cat care and dog walking if near me. I don’t have a car.
About: I have been caring for both cats and dogs my entire life, personally and professionally. This includes disabled + senior care! I do my best to match the energy & demeanor of each animal; if they are extra active & playful, I’m prepared to keep up! If they are more timid & anxious, I’m very gentle, patient, & soft spoken. I love animals a lot & I’m a natural when it comes to meeting their needs. I have an office job 3 days a week as well as a 4-year old but my time is shared and very flexible. I’m free by 4pm every single day and weekends are open. I have a 4 bedroom house with 2 cats & some gates so I generally keep them separated. My backyard is fenced in as well
About: I enjoy how cats each have there own very unique personalities. I love learning that personality and winning them over. I started cat sitting for neighbors and friends to help them out. I enjoy helping watch others pets because I always need others to help me by watching my pets so that I can travel. If you need me I am available Monday - Sunday, I am currently at in-between jobs since my seasonal job has come to an end. First focus will be making sure food and water are available. My second focus will be to take care of the litter box. Then with the remainder of the time I play with the cats that love social interactions.

Shannon is an amazing kitty sitter! She watched our two cats while we were away for two weeks. She was very professional- communicative, and thorough from the start and gave our cats the love and care they deserve! She was so patient with our shy cat, who eventually warmed up to her! She kept the litter area tidy and also took care of our plants and mail. We are so grateful!

Amanda was referred to me by a neighbor who spoke very highly of her. I was so worried about leaving my cats and felt so much relief after being given the referral, instead of using a neighbor to help me. She followed my directions and I never worried the entire time I was gone as I knew everything was being taken care of. My cats are very fearful of strangers in the house and I want them to get to know her so I can feel comfortable when I leave on trips and they no longer are afraid. I will continue to use her going forward. She sent pictures and it looked like they would make an appearance when she was here so hopefully, that will get better each time.
First time user of Rover. I went out of the country for two weeks and my normal dog sitter fell thru last minute. I went and used Rover after many people recommending. I messaged a few sitters and sally was the first to respond. I cant begin to express how happy I was with her services and providing a great experience for my dog and cat. She was very transparent, provided multiple updates and was very timely with all her visits during the two weeks I was gone. I booked her for 3x a day for two weeks and showed up with them all on time. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again for sure!
