“Stacey is an amazing cat sitter! We were gone for a week over the holiday and it gave us such peace of mind to know she would check in on them every day and send us photos/updates. Stacey also had to give one of our cats eye drops and had no issues. I highly recommend her to take care of your pets and will definitely be requesting her help again when we go out of town!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life and have 3 of my own. I’m comfortable with puppies up to senior dogs and will follow any schedule that they’re comfortable with. I love to give snuggles. I work from home so I can fit drop in care into my day quite easily. I’m happy to follow the schedule your pets are used to. I will take care of your pets in the way in which you ask me to. Whatever their routine is with you, I’m happy to facilitate that.
“Jessica was terrific with my two kitties.. She is an excellent communicator and sent me pictures every day so I would miss them less. I highly recommend Jessica to care for your fur babies.”
“This was my first time using Rover or even having a stranger check in on my car. I was a little apprehensive but Heather was super friendly and so communicative. I will definitely be using Rover and her services again. Plus, I loved all the cute photos she sent of my cat.”
“Maja is the best! We left our kitties in her care for 9 days. We’ve never left them for more than 3 so we were a little nervous about how they would do. Her detailed notes and updates were very reassuring and she captures the cutest pics! Thank you Maja, from our kitties and us <3”
“Natalie was a fantastic choice for taking care of our cat! She was super communicative leading up to her visits, made sure he ate his food, and played with him to get his zoomies out. As an overworried cat mom, she made me feel a lot better by making sure he was well taken-care of while we were gone”
“Mary was fantastic! Our kitties, Canela and Pepper were spoiled with all the attention and treats she gave them. I was spoiled too as she brought in our mail and even watered our front porch plants while we were gone. We will use her again and highly recommend her.”
“Ethan took amazing care of my two cats while I was on a 2 week vacation! He updated me after each drop-in and I loved seeing the photos he took. My kitties and I recommend!!”
“Sarah was GREAT again!! She's very easy to work with, and takes exceptional care of our pup! She's very patient with our sometimes rambunctious dog, and follows his routines to help keep him calm. She did a great job taking care of our dog and our friends dog, sending lots of picture updates and making sure they were both happy and worn out by the time she left. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for pets at every stage of life, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. As a longtime owner of both cats and dogs, I understand the different personalities, needs, and routines that come with each. I’m comfortable handling a wide range of situations, whether it’s caring for a 2-month-old kitten, managing the needs of a senior 100 lb dog, or looking after multiple pets at once. I’ve provided both in-home stays and drop-in visits, so I can adapt to whatever works best for you and your pet. I’m especially attentive to each pet’s unique temperament—whether they need playtime, structure, or just a calm, reassuring presence. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work a 9–5 schedule Monday through Friday, with Wednesdays at home, and I keep my evenings open so I can fully dedicate that time to the pets I’m caring for. My job is also flexible, which allows me to step out during the day for check-ins, feedings, or visits when needed. This means I can provide consistent care throughout the day—not just before and after work. When caring for pets, their well-being is my top priority. I understand that while their owners are away, I become their main caregiver—the person they rely on for comfort, safety, and attention. Whether I am staying with them or checking-in on them, I dedicate my full attention to their needs. This includes feeding, playtime, exercise, and providing a calm, reassuring presence. I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable, maintaining their routine as closely as possible so they experience minimal stress while their owners are away.
About: I started my own dog walking business at age 9 and have since expanded to pet sitting. I grew up with a dog in the house and have always had a passion for taking care of animals. My friends and family trust me to watch their pets when they are gone, so you can rest assured that your pets will be safe and happy with me! I currently work 6 hours a day, 5 days a week with Fridays, Saturdays and most holidays off. I love pet sit during the hours in which I'm not at work. I am energetic and love to play with animals. I can bring toys and treats when applicable. I am also committed to staying on top of your pet's schedule. I also send photos and videos of your pets and keep you updated daily on how they are doing!
“Allison did great taking care of my cats! I even ran out of litter and offered to have more delivered but she had already brought some of her own over. They were in good care.”
“Gigi is amazing!! Having an FIV+ cat is not always the easiest, but I left my fur baby in Gigi’s care for a whole month over Christmas and she was healthy and happier than ever. Gigi made sure to update daily, always arrived on time, sent pics daily, and even went out of her way to help me re-stock on treats while I was away. Again, the absolute best!!”
About: I’m a calm and patient person who makes pets feel safe and comfortable. I have hands on experience caring for dogs and some basic training skills, such as reinforcing good behavior and routines. I’m attentive, responsible, and always focused on each pet’s individual needs. I treat every pet with care and respect, as if they were my own. I work full- time but in the morning I’m free to take your pet’s for a walk, in the weekends I’m free for boarding your pet’s I don’t have any pets yet, but I always make sure every animal in my care feels safe and comfortable. I keep a clean and calm environment
University Heights cat parents share their Rover experiences
I have booked Bryanna 6 times to take care of my cat, for stays ranging from 3 days to more than 2 weeks. The experience has continued to improve as she spends more time with my cat and understands his needs better. She is caring, and she has gone above and beyond by bringing a few toys from her home to keep my cat entertained when he gets bored with his own toys. She refreshes water, plays, refills food, gives treats, lets my cat out on the patio for fresh air, and helps with grooming. On some visits she was able to spend extra time with him, which I really appreciate. Time and punctuality: It is good to be aware, her visit window can vary based on her schedule.
