“Kelsey was EXCELLENT! I had her watch my cat for a few days and he has never been as calm/happy when I returned from some time away than the weekend when Kelsey looked after him. She was so easy to communicate with and her responses were always quick. I will absolutely have her watch my cat again when I leave town for a few days :)”
“Marcus is great! He is responsive and communicates throughout the service. He’s flexible and is accommodating, and I think my cat loves him! Have rebooked and would again.”
“Haylee has been such a gift! I had never used Rover before and turned to it when I was in a pinch. I’m so glad I found Haylee. She made every effort to make me feel comfortable and I could not appreciate it more. My pup, Olive, adores her and she makes every visit with her great. Thank you so much for everything, Haylee!!”
“Catherine is so sweet. She did a great job caring for my babies. She also brought in packages and broke down a box for me. Definitely went above and beyond!”
About: Hi I am a teacher who is starting her summer break and would love to help you out with your fur babies. Whether that be drop ins while you’re on vacay or walks while you’re busy at work or running errands. I have a fur baby of my own and he is my child so I would treat yours as my own 🤗🦮🐈 I have over 10 years experience taking care of neighbors, friends, & families pets. I understand all fur babies are different and have their own quirks! Whether that be pouring their food a certain way or making sure to always stay on a sidewalk opposite another animal. If this is your first time using Rover do not fret I actually used Rover for my fur baby before becoming a sitter on here as well and was so glad I did so! Before helping you with your fur baby a meetup is mandatory. This meetup is just to introduce ourselves and discuss all the details of your fur baby and the care needed from me☺️. If your fur baby has behavioral issues with strangers then an introduction first is mandatory before moving forward. I am currently on summer break. I have Monday-Friday availability. WALKS🦮 Available 7am-10am & 2pm-5pm (times set for your dogs safety w/ summer heat) CHECK-INS🤗🐾🐈 Monday-Thursday 7am-7pm & Friday 7am-5pm. I understand all our fur babies are different and have different needs. As well as you are trusting me with them and your home. I will make sure to follow any small detail and rule you would like as this is your baby and your safe space! I was so blessed to have the best and kindest sitters for my fur baby on Rover and I would love to be that as well for you. I always make sure to pay close attention to the fur babies while on walks as I know other animals can be triggers and some of our cuties love to put anything in their mouths. I will also always make sure if I notice anything different about your fur baby whether that be physical changes or behavioral changes I will absolutely immediately let you know as I take your babies health very seriously.

“This was my second time to use Kyle while I was away and he did a fantastic job with my dog Kenzie who is 14. He’s very communicative and honest person. I know Kenzie feels safe with him! He takes awesome pics on the walks! Also turned on animals with music on my TV, to give Kenzie some noise in my apartment so she didn’t feel alone. Will definitely use again!”

University Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Marcus was absolutely amazing! We have a bit of a shy baby and was able to make him feel comfortable enough to come out for food and pets. Additionally, he always provided us with updates/photos and you can tell he has a passion for taking care of pets. Would recommend booking Marcus if you can.
Jessica did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Whiskey! She was very communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure Whiskey was comfortable and well cared for. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Thanks Jessica! :)
Kytari is the first pet sitter I’ve used, and I’m glad to have found her! She kept me updated daily on how my cat and my fish were doing, and she was very patient with my very shy cat that usually takes a while to warm up to strangers. I was shocked that they were friends in no time! 10/10 would recommend and trust again.
David is the best! He took beautiful care of my cat Daisy while I was out of town on a work trip. Not only did he take care of her food and water, but he also troubleshot a problem with my automatic litter box, and sent me pictures and videos of Daisy every day! I will definitely book him for cat care again.
Kyle handled some GI issues that our dog was dealing with in the most kind and caring way possible. He kept us updated and cleaned up a couple messes, so we knew how she was doing and didn’t have to worry about her too much! He sent cute pictures of her happy and playing outside and gave her great long walks.
