“This was my first time having a Rover come by to feed my cats when I went on a weekend trip. I used to get friends or family to come by, but that is a thing of the past. I am raving about Rover! Ashleigh went above and beyond on her visits. Not only did she come by to feed and water them, she played with them and even brushed them. They look like brand new cats! Best part was getting pictures and updates on her visits— it really put me at ease and allowed me to enjoy my weekend trip. I really hope Ashleigh is available the next time I head out of town.”
About: I’ve had the opportunity to care of cats while their owners were away, making sure they were fed on schedule, had fresh water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention. I understand that every cat has a unique personality—some love to play and cuddle, while others prefer their own space—and I’m happy to adjust my care to fit their needs. As someone who truly loves animals, I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, companionship, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I’ll treat your cat with the same kindness and respect I’d give my own pets.
“Trevor was absolutely wonderful! He put so much care into updating us and sending us photos! He made our cat very comfortable and was sure to play with her lots. He allowed us to enjoy our vacation without being anxious about her. Would absolutely have Trevor do drop in visit again!”
About: Besides being a lifelong pet owner myself, I’ve been helping families care for their dogs and cats since I was 17 years old. For the past eight years, I’ve primarily worked as a nanny, and caring for the family’s pets has often been part of my role. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I currently work part time on Mondays and Tuesdays, so any other day of the week I can be available with a few days notice :) Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your care instructions, keep your pet’s routine consistent, and provide a calm, loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. You can also count on regular updates and photos.
“From the first message to our scheduled meet and greet, Mina impressed me with her friendliness, flexibility, and genuine love for cats. She arrived on time, asked great questions, and let my cats dictate the pace of their meeting - no rushing or forced interactions. By the end of just one meeting, my shy and anxious cats allowed her to come close and engage with them. I feel fully reassured and confident that Mina will take great care of them while I am traveling. Highly recommend!”
About: While I may not have much professional experience I have owned a variety of pets my entire life from dogs and cats to bunnies and squirrels! I even interned at a veterinary office. I currently work a full-time job but I am looking to fill my time with pet care during the evenings after 4 and all day during the weekends. I am aware of dogs and cats body language and by understand them, I can better help support their needs. I can redirect when necessary and calm energetic behavior.

About: Growing up, I was always around dogs and developed a strong love for them. I have owned German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, and German Shorthaired Pointers. I have always walked, and fed the dogs in the house. I work early mornings and am finished before noon, so I have plenty of time during the day to care for pets. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy some fresh air. I also have a friendly German Shorthaired Pointer/Beagle mix named Oreo who loves having other dogs around. We can play catch in the yard, go for walks around the neighborhood, and I’ll make sure each pet is fed, cared for, and given plenty of attention.

About: As a mom to a 6-year-old Golden Retriever, I know from experience how much attention and care impact an animal’s life, their behavior, health, and even their mood. I walk my dog twice a day because I know how much energy a Golden Retriever has and how important these walks are for their physical and mental health. I’m a very active person, so I love spending energy with dogs on walks and playtime. I love all animals, but dogs are my favorites because of their intelligence and genuine affection. You can rest assured that your pet will be very well cared for with me, and we will definitely burn plenty of energy on our walks together Most days I’m available after 9 a.m., once I drop my husband at the office, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, or longer stays. At the moment, I live in an apartment, so the safest and most comfortable option for your pet is for me to provide drop-in visits and walks, rather than full-time boarding in my home. During visits, I follow your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide, always making sure doors and windows are secure and your home is respected
