“Lyndsey was an incredible sitter for Lincoln. It was his first time being with a sitter while I was out of town and Lyndsey really did everything to make it a comfortable experience for him. He was happy and exercised when I got home. My place was clean and tidy when I got back too. Thank you so much Lyndsey!”
“Jennifer is an incredible sitter - attentive, thoughtful, patient, and truly en enjoys her time with Kirby. I appreciate her nature and feel completely at ease when she is with Kirby, who has a myriad of chronic health issues at 17. Thank you for caring for him (and me!) so well. 💜”
“Morgan was my first experience using Rover and took all the stress away! She provided frequent and thorough updates. I could tell in the pictures she shared my pup was having a great time. Can’t wait to book her again!”
“Erica was fantastic! She took great care of our dog. Ernie, was super responsive, and sent pictures and updates! Would definitely recommend and rebook!”
“Ashlyn took very good care of Nyla and Alyn. They were pooped when we got home. That means lots of play time. Ashlyn was able to change the schedule at last minute notice. Which I greatly appreciated! Our home was clean and she even started the laundry! My only recommendation for her is to take photos of the pets while the owners are gone! 🥰”
“Emily is amazing and so sweet! This was our first time using Rover and I was so nervous—we always get nervous leaving our babies, but Emily made this trip less stressful for us. I would definitely book with her again! Our dogs were well taken care of, as well as our home! She followed all instructions to a tee and even went above and beyond! We also appreciated her sending lots of updates, photos, & videos!”
“I felt very comfortable and confident leaving our pets in Megan's care while we were on vacation. Communication was always prompt with any questions I had and I know our pets were well taken care of. It's such a peace of mind knowing our pets were happy and at home with Megan vs boarding. We will definitely book her again in the future.”
“Corrine was amazing with both of my kitties! She was able to come over before I left to meet both of them and get a feel for where things were in my home. She sent me updates with pictures every day which was very reassuring that my kitties were in great hands! I highly recommend Corrine and will definitely be asking her to pet sit again in the future! ❤️”

“Max was overall a great sitter for our 2 pittys. He was responsive to messages and sent photos. He also watered the plants, took out the recycling, and the kitchen was cleaner than I left it. He went out of his way to be helpful and the dogs seemed well cared for while we were away! We already have him booked for another sit in May!”
“Madison was great with my 7mo puppy! She sent a ton of pictures and kept up with puppy energy levels no problem! Very responsive and reliable - highly recommend!”

“I am always nervous to use a new sitter, especially for a longer trip (7+ days), but Cassi was wonderful. She sent photos every day, took the dogs on walks, and left the house in great condition. I don't think our pets even missed us. We definitely recommend Cassi and will book her again.”
“Alicia was great with my dog! She came for a meet and greet before watching him, and it was clear she’s an animal lover. She was punctual, sent lots of photos, and left my house nice and clean. We will be booking her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Nate, a dedicated pet caretaker with over 30 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and more. Whether your dog loves long walks, your cat enjoys quiet company, or your rabbit needs extra TLC, I provide reliable and attentive service tailored to their needs. I treat every pet like family and understand that each one has their own personality and routine. Whether your furry friend needs daily walks, lots of play time, or drop-in visits, you can count on me to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you’re away. Communication is key, and I’ll always keep you informed. I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Book with me for dependable care and a stress-free experience for both you and your pet! 🐾 I work full-time Monday - Friday, 9:30AM-6PM. I'm primarily available for early morning walks before work or evening visits after 6 PM. Since my job allows me to work from home when needed, I have some flexibility to accommodate pets that require more attention during the day. Weekends offer even more availability for longer visits, walks, or overnight stays. Whether you need someone for a quick drop-in, regular exercise for your pup, or extra companionship for your cat or rabbit, I can adjust my schedule to make sure your pet gets the care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable and sticking to their usual routine. This includes feeding them on schedule, refreshing water, providing walks or playtime, and ensuring they feel safe and happy in their familiar environment. I’m also happy to send photo and video updates so owners can check in while they’re away. I am very detail-oriented and follow any special instructions, whether it’s a specific feeding routine, medication, or extra playtime. My goal is always to make pets feel at ease and well cared for.

13. Rachel H.
“I can’t recommend Rachel enough as a pet sitter! We live together, so I see firsthand how naturally caring and responsible she is with animals. I have two large breed dogs, and she has been an incredible help—letting them out early in the morning when I have to leave for work, taking them on walks just because she wants to, and even playing anti-anxiety music to help my nervous pup relax due to separation anxiety. She goes above and beyond, often bringing home toys for them and giving them extra love and attention. She has also watched them for me several times when I’ve been on vacation, and I always feel at ease knowing they’re in great hands. Anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter would be lucky to have her!”

20. Nathan F.
“I’ve used a lot of pet sitters over the years, but this one really stands out. I’m always a little nervous about leaving my cats behind, but knowing that he’s taking care of them puts my mind at ease. He spends quality time with them, which means they’re not just fed and watered but also getting the attention they need while I’m gone. What really sets him apart is how thorough he is—he follows my instructions to a T and always checks in if anything is unclear. I love that he sends me photos of my cats, it’s like a little update so I can relax knowing they’re happy. It’s clear he genuinely cares about animals, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.”
