“Christal was amazing with my hyper and strong pitty! She has some reactivity issues and I always get worried leaving her but Christal eased those anxieties with texts, pictures, and videos of their walks and play time. Highly recommend!”
“Kelly went above and beyond for my pet cat. She kindly followed all my instructions, was always on time, and kept me updated with photos to ease my mind while I was away. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone who needs pet care! Thanks again for the outstanding service girl!”
“Ann, you are the kitty whisperer! Ann has cared for multiple generations of kitties in my household and she is attentive, thoughtful, and detail-oriented. I am grateful to have someone I can trust to care for my kitties while I travel.”
“Amanda was so helpful dropping in to watch our rabbit! He had recently been sick and we completely trusted Amanda. She went above and beyond to keep his space clean and him fed!”
About: I’ve pet sat since high school, rescued many dogs and had my own pets. I will keep your home clean, care deeply for your pets, send updates, and enjoy lung walks and run if needed. I am a third-year veterinary student. I can spend most weekends at your house with your pup, and during the weekdays, I will take care of them between classes and all night. I enjoy maintaining a consistent environment, providing fresh water, serving meals on time, and engaging in playtime with your pets. I send photo or video updates and always ensure that everything is left clean.
“Marissa is fantastic! My cats loved her and she was on top of everything I asked. I felt so at ease knowing she was playing with our energetic Bengals. Can’t wait to book her again for our next vacation!”
“Kelly did a fantastic job with my two kitties! My cats each have different gastrointestinal issues (IBD and a scarf-and-barfer) which require some pretty specific feeding instructions and Kelly followed them to a T, communicating with me when there were complications (which were not her fault in the slightest). She also cleaned up after the IBD cat when necessary. She took plenty of pictures and my cats were healthy and well upon my return. Thanks so much!”
About: I have been dogsitting for +8 years for friends, family members and dear Rover clients. You will read from some testimonials that I can be trustworthy with their pet(s), so much so that they have referred me to other friends and families. I work full-time near downtown 10-6 on Tuesdays-Fridays and from home Mondays, however there is flexibility throughout the week. I have evenings and weekends generally open to care for your pet with my full attention! I usually care for pets in the comfort of their home! At this time, I, unfortunately, cannot host pets in my home - though this may change at a later time.
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including my two playful Labradors who keep me on my toes daily. I’ve also provided loving care for senior dogs, making sure they get the extra patience and attention they need — whether it’s slow strolls, administering medications, or just lots of cuddles. I work remotely so I can pop by throughout the day on my breaks. Depending on location it can be several times throughout the day. I can play with your dog in the yard, take them for a walk, feed them breakfast, lunch, or dinner—whatever they need to feel happy and cared for. I can also crate them if needed.
About: I have a soft spot for all animals big and small. I helped raise my family dog, Finn, who is now a 10 year old Morkie. Multiple friends have trusted me to walk and pet sit their animals and I have experience with small and large breeds. I have also volunteered for 2 years with 4 Paws for Ability, an organization that trains puppies to become service dogs. I am an owner of a black cat named Sesame who I adopted from a cat cafe earlier this year. I am currently a healthcare professional who just graduated school. I am waiting to start a job at the end of October, so I have some free time in the next few months I’m looking to fill with lots of walks and scratches. Safety is my number one priority for your pet and myself. I am good with communication and as a pet owner myself, I understand how much pets mean to us.
“Kelly was amazing with our puppers! She graciously came over before the first sitting job to let the dogs get comfortable/familiar with her. She is super nice and we can tell that she adores animals. Our dogs love her! We would recommend Kelly to anyone.”
About: I personally have not owned pets but I have lived with pets (dogs and cats) in the past. I and love animals in general. I have accumulated pet care experience over the last few years on Rover. My main focus is on establishing trust with owners. I will do this by following your instructions for your pet to a tee, keeping up constant communication, and being committed to providing a safe and loving experience for your pet! I am currently working remotely so it is easy for me to drop by and check on your pet or walk your pet during most days of the week throughout most of the day! My apartment is in a pet friendly neighborhood. I do not have any children or other pets so your pet will be the center of attention, perfect for all the love and affection!
“I needed care for my puppy on short notice, and Jeffrey did an exceptional job! I trusted that my pup was safe and happy which is so comforting. I would recommend Jeffrey to anyone in need of pet care!”
“Thank you, Malorie—it was great having you check on our cat! Everything went so smoothly and he loved the attention. Hopefully you’ll be available the next time, too! Highly recommend her!”

Rebecca A.
“Rebecca has been my dog’s babysitter for about 3 years now and I would literally never go to anyone else. She sends pics and videos without even having to ask. Every time she comes to pick cookie up, cookie is so dang excited! My dog is a little difficult to handle because she is dog aggressive, but Rebecca is super attentive and makes sure cookie is never put in high stress environments. 5 out of 5! I highly recommend Rebecca for your babysitting needs.”
Taylor P.
“Taylor was absolutely amazing with my 14-year-old Cavapoo, Douggie! She was so gentle and patient with him, which meant the world to me since he’s a senior pup who needs a little extra TLC. Taylor kept me updated with photos and messages, and I could tell Douggie felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. It’s not easy to find someone you trust with an older dog, but Taylor exceeded all expectations. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend!”
