“Jennifer and her daughter are responsible and truly love animals! They did everything I wrote in the notes. My cat liked them and even tried to lick them. They drove to my home immediately after I told them, through the camera, that my cat’s bowl was empty.”
“Best sitter we've had!! My kitties adore her. She makes sure to give them plenty of pets & attention. Communicates well and sends lots of photos & video. Couldn't ask for more. 😸😸😸”
“We are so lucky to have found Xiomara! We have so much peace of mind when we are away knowing that we have her to take care of our cats. She is so friendly, great with our cats (they love her!), responsive, and thorough. As always, THANK YOU! :)”
“Deborah was great! My cat loved her and the photos and updates were so great to get while I was away. It was really reassuring to know that my cat was loved and taken care of by such a reliable and sweet person like Deborah. Will 100% be booking again with her.”
About: I’ve grown up with various pets and animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, and rabbits. I’ve always had a love for animals, and want to continue working with them long-time. I want every pet to feel as much love as possible, even when their person is gone. I have my own dog at home, so of course I feed him twice a day and take him on walks when he wants. He’s a super big sleeper and pushing 10 years, so he’s very low maintenance. I love my own dog with all my heart, he is my big baby. And besides him, I love all animals with the same amount of heart, as I believe they deserve the world. So, they will be cared for as if they were my own, as I’d want them to become my best friend in a way.
“Priscilla took great care of my cat while I was away! Always sent updates and photos and responded quickly to any question or message. Very trustworthy and it was reassuring that she has a background working with animals in her career. I would definitely have her pet-sit again and highly recommend her!”
“I hired Natalie again...and she rocks... I have two cats... not easy to care for... and she is a pro... and she is also so loving and caring with them. She followed all my feeding instructions to the T and even managed to get my very shy cat to let her pet her. I highly recommend Natalie!!!”
About: I am a current 4th year medical student and prior pet owner looking to help take care for, walk, or simply check in on your beloved pet. Given my free time now this year, pet care fits into my schedule in whatever capacity my clients need me. I would love to walk your pet but am also open to going over for feedings if your out of town or simply checking in on them in an emergency. I am most comfortable in walking, light cleaning, feedings, as well as house sitting or having your beloved pet over at my house while you are out of town.
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs since a young age and I have also watched my friend’s cats and dogs several times. I have a protective dog and have watched a very high energy dog so I understand each pet is different and that means they will have different needs. I love being around any and all animals! I’m currently home from college so I will be available pretty much whenever! I will most likely be hanging out with friends, helping my parents around the house, or doing another side hustle if I’m not taking care of pets. I can hang out with your pets for as long as you need and if there are any special instructions, I would be happy to follow them!
“I was in a pinch to find someone to watch my cat and Ruth was able to watch her with no problems! Ruth gave me updates on how my cat was doing and always responded quickly to my messages. Will definitely be going back to Ruth in the future and would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and stray cats my whole life, and I currently have a sweet female beagle at home. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving lots of attention, especially since I work from home. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I work full time from home and I am basically available whenever, but with given time. My schedule is flexible and I am willing to work with yours. I live in a condo with plenty of space. Although I do not have a backyard I do go on walks with my beagle 3-4 a day and have playtime with her.
“I am so happy to have found a wonderful sitter! Ricardo faithfully sent videos giving me peace of mind, and my cat's usual "stranger-danger" was not in the least bit evident in a new situation. And he ate very well, another issue when away. Shows how comfortable and un-stressed. I am a happy cat mom!❤️”
“I had a wonderful experience with Valerie as my cat sitter! She took care of my two cats for four days while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Valerie came to my house every day to feed them, and she ensured they were well cared for and comfortable in their own space. I returned to two happy, relaxed cats and everything in perfect order. She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive cat sitter!”
“Savanna is super sweet and really attentive. She took great care of my rabbits while I was out of town and followed all of my instructions without any issues. She kept me updated the whole time, which made me feel so much better being away. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pets with her. If you’re looking for a pet sitter on Rover, she’s the one! ☺️💓”
About: I know how important it is to feel completely at peace leaving your pet with someone else and that’s what I aim to give you! I’ve loved animals since I was a little girl and will treat your dog with the same love and care that I give my dog! You’ll always get updates, photos, and check-ins. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I work full time but work from home Fridays. I’m looking to occupy weekends only with pet care and giving them exercise and play time. I will take time to learn your pets routine and give them a safe environment. I follow feeding and walking schedules so your pets day feels familiar. I make sure they get lots of attention and patience especially if they’re feeling anxious!
University Park cat parents share their Rover experiences
Deborah provides peace of mind for both fur baby & parent. This was my 2nd time with Deborah & I rebooked her for extra time- so glad I did. I could see from the pet cam how attentive & caring she was during each extended visit. She made such a difference for my Ellie - easing her insecurities. Love the pics & detailed report cards she sends- communication is great. I highly recommend Deborah & will continue to rebook with her- Thank you so much
I'm a repeat customer and as always Ricardo and Carlos were excellent. I had drop in visits to look after my cat Helena and they are always very responsive, takes lots of pictures and leaves everything in order. I'm happy that I can trust them and if you are considering it I would recommend giving them a try!
