I feel so much better knowing he's not terrified at a kennel but in a warm quiet home. Plus they send the cutest pics!”

“Jess was very friendly and willing to help with my sweet but anxious boys. They gave her a difficult time with administering their medications and unfortunately she wasn’t able to complete this task. She communicated very well with me through her visit. I would recommend her service otherwise.”

“Sam took great care of my cats and bearded dragon. She made sure to double check that my dragon’s lights were on a timer and not just out. She did a good job of giving my needy orange cat lots of attention and space for my shy cat. I highly recommend her.”
“Sarah was a wonderful sitter for our fur babies while we were away! She was able to book on short notice, which was very much appreciated. She spent so much time with our kitties, which I’m sure they loved! I got the cutest photos and Sarah kept me updated with each visit. I’m very pleased and would book with her again! :)”
“This was our first experience with a Rover drop-in sitter for our senior cat and Kyla put us at ease! She sent lots of photos with each visit and even a couple videos. Hendrix was a happy cat when we got home and Kyla took care to lock up and even grab the mail and a package for us. We look forward to utilizing her services again!”
About: I have taken care of, nursed and trained cats for 20 years. They take a different kind of patience and trust than a dog and often much more stimulation. I don't just cat sit, I spend my time playing with thme and using multiple enrichment tools to make sure they are happy cats.
About: I have experience in different avenues of pet care. I have dog/house-sat periodically since I was 18. I also have experience working at a pet grooming salon, so I feel very comfortable with pets of any size. I am also confident with providing medical care, such as pills, shots, etc! I currently work part-time, and have a lot of free time in my schedule to be able to stay with/take care of pets! I am also a full time student, but currently am enrolled fully online. I currently am only able to stay at client’s homes, because I have 5 crazy pets of my own at my house. I make an effort to build a connection with not only the pets but also the clients, and follow whatever guidelines they set for me to stay with their furry friends!
“Kati was awesome! It was our first time booking with Rover and she put our mind at ease right away with our first meet and greet. I would definifley book her again. Our dog absolutely loved her! She took great care of him. She was great at communicating and was very responsive. She did everything we asked and gave our dog lots of love while we were gone. So happy to find such a great pet sitter! :)”
“His Honda was great!!! She sent pictures every time she visited and our pets looked very happy!! Both our dog & cat were happy & calm when we returned!! Will 100% be asking Yushonda back if she’ll have us! -)”
“Olivia has been great with my pup! She comes 2-3x every week for drop in visits and walks. She goes above and beyond and sends me picture updates and always makes sure my doggo is happy and taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t say enough about Patti K. She watched and loved on my fur babies while I was out of town on vacation. It was great to be able to relax and know they were in good hands. She sent me pictures and Videos of them. Not only did she take good care of my animals but I couldn’t even tell she had spent 5 days at my house. I will definitely use her again and so should you.”

“My Chihuahua is totally content with Jessica and Matt. They always send me cute photos of his stay. He curls up on their couch on his favorite blanket and makes himself right at home and he gets along great with their two Frenchies.”
“Leah is very kind and responsive. Our dog enjoys going over and running around the big fenced in yard and playing with her dog Rosco. Leah sends picture updates and keeps you updated. Definitely recommend and will keep using ourselves!”
“Tristan is great with my dog and always patient when I’m a little late dropping off or picking up. (So being patient with me might be more of a challenge than being patient with my puppy). I highly recommend him for daycare or overnight. While I already had an obedience trainer before bringing my dog for daycare, I can tell that he’d be a really good trainer, too.”
“Rudy always loves going to Beth’s house. She has a lovely home with a securely fenced back yard. Even though Rudy is a Chihuahua and small, he gets along great with her two friendly big dogs. I know he’s always well cared for at Beth’s house.”
“Great environment for pups to feel safe, loved, and playful. You can immediately tell how much love and patience Kellie and Paige have for animals. The fenced-in yard is a definite plus! I had such a crazy/stressful day at work, and seeing how happy my pup was (Kellie sent pictures) made my heart full. So so happy we found this sitter!!”
“After my husky's first stay with Jamie, I can say we will definitely use her services again! Bailey loved spending time at her house. The fenced yard was perfect, and Jamie provided lots of love and connectedness. Thank you, Jamie!”
“I’m so happy I found Diane and Grimm to care for my little Chihuahua! They have a large lovely back yard with a secure chain link fence, a covered patio and a huge shade tree. Since Diane works from home, she’s able to give each pup lots of individualized attention. They only accept one dog at a time, though, so it’s good to book well in advance.”
About: I can provide care for complex needs animals, small animals and giant animals. I can administer medication even to animals who might not be enthusiastic about it or any other medical needs. I am currently only doing college classes and rover so I have open availability to care for your family members and all the love to give them I have a 4 foot tall fully fenced in half acre yard with a Bernese mountain dog puppy who can keep your babies company along with two dog friendly cats
“Great experience. Laura was waiting for Bryce and greeted him immediately. She sent pictures within an hour and I could tell he was behaving as always. Very comforting. And topper I sent a message when we would be there for pickup and she had him watching at the front door. Nice transition. I’m hopeful to use her frequently while I’m in town.”
About: I've had and helped care for many different animals since I was a child including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and chickens. We have 2 little boys in our home as well as a laid back newfoundland dog and 2 cats. Can administer medicine if needed and will try every trick in the book if needed to make it happen. I work part time from home so I will be home almost 24/7 besides the occasional errands. Animals can be with me as much as they would like. Dogs can be taken out and walked as often as needed. Animals can be allowed the run of the house or we also have a seperate downstairs area when some alone time is preferred or needed. Cats can be enclosed in a large quiet room with a tall gate if they prefer with seperate litter box. Crates are available for use upon request.
About: I’ve been a cat owner and animal lover for 15+ years, and I’ve also cared for friends’ cats and walked dogs. I love spending intentional, one-on-one time with pets so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m incredibly attentive, follow care instructions closely, and treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾 I work remotely and have an extremely flexible schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my routine. Due to my flexible schedule, I also accept last minute requests. In my home, I have two cats who love dogs. I have a yard without a fence, so I’d take your dog out on leash. I also love walking and would love to have a dog to join me. I ensure all pets receive lots of love, attention, and one-on-one time. I follow their routines and care instructions closely.
“I know Fred loved it there and loved Ziggy. Taking him home he had no stress. He had a wonderful time, and wanted to go back today. I had to look at pout face today! Thank you for taking good care of him! We will be back.. Julie Richards”

“Taylor has been walking my dog for a week and it’s been amazing. Taylor is very caring of my dog who has some anxiety. She takes her time and makes sure my dog is comfortable and gives great updates. Definitely will be continuing working with her.”
“Daisy did a fantastic job walking my dog, Callie! She was very punctual, went the extra mile (literally!), and clearly takes her responsibilities seriously. I really appreciated how detailed she was with her updates—it gave me great peace of mind knowing how the walk went and how Callie was doing. Callie seemed very happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Daisy and would happily book with her again!”
