About: I have had dogs since I was 3 years old. Currently do not have a dog of my own but still dog sit for my mom when she goes out of town or comes visits me. Have plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes and puppies. Young professional in seasonal type job. My work is currently in the slow season so have plenty of time for dogs/puppies. I also have all my weekends available to puppy sit. I live in an apartment but there are plenty of walking trails and parks nearby. I also have plenty of time off and no weekend commitments so I can stay at your home so the pups are more comfortable.
“Carly is so great with our cats and always gives such sweet and reassuring updates. They were our first choice for a long international trip and took great care of Spike and Angel while we were gone. They were also super helpful with other tasks like trash and mail. They are truly a lovely human and we highly recommend them to any other cat parent!”
“Lillian is AMAZING! They are so attentive, truly love on your pet and keep them comfortable while you’re away. All around a fantastic experience with them and would happily rebook anytime! 😊”
“Wonderful! Our cat loved her immediately and Katie gave her a ton of quality time. Great notes and insightful observations. Will certainly book her the next time we go out of town. Highly recommended!”
“Rachel is the best!! This was my first time leaving my cat since getting him and I was so anxious beforehand but she did such a great job!! Never once did she forget to check in and give me the best overall summary of how my cat was doing, I was only gone a few days but I was never worried. She takes wonderful pictures of playtime and will always make sure to keep you updated how your pet is doing while you are away. Extremely professional would 100% book her again!!”
“Jacqueline was wonderful! So sweet, prompt, and my dogs loved her! They’re normally very nervous pups so it made me really relaxed to know they had someone safe coming into the house every day. <3 Definitely will hire again next time I leave town!”
“We like Courtney!! She responded quickly to my messages and did a great job with our two dogs. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her services to anyone else needing care for their animals.”
“Our Suzie fell in love with Crystal from the first moment. Crystal is thoughtful, gentle, and engaged with Suzie, without being a complete push over. We look forward to many more visits with her.”
“I wasn’t sure how this would work out but Byron kept me updated the whole time I was away and gave me the peace of mind so I could enjoy my trip, knowing my cat was being taken good care of. Thank you Byron!”
“This was my first time using Dani for watching my cat and giving medications while I was away. Communication was very clear and easy. From the pictures I received, I could tell that my cat was very comfortable and happy with Dani. I am very pleased with this experience and would love to use her again.”
“He was very communicative and even did extra things that I forgot to ask him to do in the midst of travel prep — e.g., taking out my garbage bins. Highly recommend!”
“Bobby is very likely the most courteous and attentive person that I've booked on Rover. During his drop-in visits he took care of several things at my home that I would not expect somebody to do, and paid a lot of attention to the dogs while he was here - what they did and how they were, so that I could be aware of any changes. It's great to have somebody checking in on your pets and showing as much care for them as you would yourself. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!”
“Melissa took great care of our anxious cat and went out of her way to make him feel comfortable. She’s a great communicator and was able to quickly accommodate a last minute schedule change on our end. Highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“Rebecca is our go-to cat sitter! We have hired her several times never worry when she is caring for them. She is reliable, and provides great updates. Highly recommend!”
“Took care of my monsters very well! He also did us the courtesy of bringing our mail in ? He brought along his pup which made my dogs very happy! I will be booking him again for our future trips.”
“Emma was great! She came over every morning (very consistently) to feed, give pets and give our mostly indoor cat some outside time. We mentioned that if Peanut wants to go outside just keep eyes on her. Emma let Peanut bake in the sun and have some fresh air which is always a good thing and ushered her in when her time was up. We also bought a lot of stuff on Amazon Prime day and she brought in all our boxes, even big ones!”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since a young age and have recently adopted a Great Pyrenees mix that has taken many hours of training and desensitizing to the world due to his difficult prior life. I adore my interactions with dogs and will treat them as if they are my own. I am currently not working but will be going back to work part-time over the next couple months. Right now my schedule is open and I spend most my time with my dog at home or socializing/playing with him on a friend's property with many different types of dogs. I have a yard with a 4 foot fence lining one side, 6 foot along the rest and a two story house with a basement. My rescue dog gets along great with other dogs and would love to have the company. I have many toys and games for dogs that come over as well as a dog friendly neighborhood and parks to walk in.
About: I’ve taken care of all ages of pets since I was young! I’ve taken care of puppies and sweet elder dogs who need a bit of help! I’m currently home from college and have a pretty open schedule with loads of free time to watch any pet for as long as you need!! If you have boundaries with your dog at home, I can follow those directions and ensure your pet stays safe and sound in your home!
University Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kate was professional from the very beginning with timely and open communication before even booking. It’s clear she has a lot of experience with cat sitting. I didn’t worry once about my pet during my vacation and my pet is reactive and scared of strangers. I would recommend and rebook without doubt.
A+++ cat sitter! Lillian was an absolute professional and a wonderful caregiver for our cat while we were away for two weeks. Our cat, Gage, is 17 years old and has several medical conditions, so we were very selective about who we trusted with his care. We greatly appreciated Lillian's thorough, diligent, and attentive approach. She followed all of Gage's care instructions, provided daily health updates, alerted us to any concerns, and helped ensure he received excellent care throughout our trip. We've been using Rover for years, and Lillian is the best sitter we've ever worked with. She was consistently reliable, kept detailed notes about Gage's care, managed his multiple daily medications and special dietary needs flawlessly, and sent adorable daily photos. We recommend Lillian without reservation and would happily book with her again.
Erin did a great job taking the best care of my cat Olive! Followed instructions, great communication, took the sweetest pictures, and overall good care of my home when I returned. I would definitely book again with Erin, she was wonderful and Olive definitely warmed up to her quick!
I’m very grateful for Lori! Thank you for coming back to check on the boys after not being able to get in the first time and going back to give one of my cats extra medication. Maurice seems to be doing better and is transitioning to his new diet. You are a life saver :)
What an exceptional cat ally! Dani was prompt and responsive to my messages while I was gone during our prearranged time window and gave me sweet updates on my little dudes activities of daily living. The pictures were great and I plan to request her again later this year. Thanks Dani !!
Crystal was amazing! She met my boys for the first time and they loved her! I would feel so comfortable and confident with her watching them. I had a last minute schedule change and she was so accommodating to my schedule! Highly recommend and cannot wait for her to come back!
Madison is super communicative and sends lots of pics of my kitty playing and relaxing, which is incredibly appreciated! She even let me know she had to put some plastic away because my little gremlin kept trying to eat it for some reason. I always feel reassured knowing Madison is checking in on my cat while I'm away. Thanks Madison!
Evita took great care of our kitties and their needs! Evita was very communicative and always included update notes and pictures with each visit, which helped us feel at ease while traveling. It was clear from the pictures that our kitties felt the same way, very comfortable! We would 100% book with her again.
