“Caitlin did a great job! Very courteous to our cats and our house. It’s also very helpful having a vet tech as our cat sitter because one our cats needs daily medicine. Will definitely use Caitlin’s services again and highly recommend to anyone else.”
“Kristen was awesome! It’s the first time I’ve used Rover or any pet sitting service but I felt totally at ease with Kristen. Abby did great, even though she hid a lot. That wasn’t Kristen’s fault. We had just had boisterous house guests the week prior and it freaked Abby Cat. So she was nervous. But always ate and pooped so she was not traumatized too much!😂 I will 100% use Kristen again.”
“Allison took such great care of our cat Stella while we were away. I loved all of her updates and photos. I could tell that Stella really loved hanging out and cuddling with Allison.she went above and beyond, and helped us tackle an ant invasion while we were away. Will definitely book with her again!!”
“We had Andrea take care of our Cats while we went to visit family. We are thrilled with the care our Fur Babies received! Andrea sent us an update along with pictures after each visit. This was such a comfort to me knowing my cats were OK. We will definitely reach out to Andrea again the next time we need a sitter. 😎”
“Amanda was EXCELLENT with our four cats. She gave us daily updates with pictures and even cleaned up the unexpected accidents around the house. If you are looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, she is the one.”
“Hailey did a great job taking care of my cat. It was my first time leaving her. Hailey kept me updated on how the drop in visits were going and sent pictures daily. Would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs through Rover, for friends and family, and through volunteering with animals. I’ve also been a dog owner myself, so I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable following detailed instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and special routines. I make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and has a good time- and I always keep their humans updated along the way. Hello I’m Andrea! I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. Whether they’re staying with me, need a drop-in visit, or just a good walk, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work mostly from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. For boarding, my home is currently pet-free and I have a yard for outdoor time. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and daily routine so they feel right at home. For drop-ins and walks, I tailor each visit to your pet’s needs—whether that means playtime, cuddles, feeding, potty breaks, an energetic walk, or a relaxed sniff around the neighborhood. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. 🐾❤️
“Thank you so much Christine! My babies were happy when we got home so that tells me that you gave them lots of care and love! ❤️ I appreciate YOU and will definitely book you again.”
“Sarah did an amazing job caring for our 4 cats while we were out of town. She took extra care and time to get our babies to come out and spend time with her. She was prompt and thorough. We appreciated the daily updates and hand-written notes. We would absolutely pick her again!!!”
“Jan was amazing with Minion and his care. She was punctual, attentive, and made sure to let me know of anything she saw. She gives the absolute best updates too! Her attention to detail with our meet and greet gave me confidence but she really knocked it out of the oark with her stellar care. Weird measure metric I know but whenever we're away, his coat gets oily like he gets sad and doesn't clean himself. When we got home today he was happy, clean, and soft. So I know for sure he really enjoyed her company. I absolutely recommend her and will reach out to her for our future pet sitting needs.”
“I think my cats like Auntie Beth more than they like me 😂 she brought them fun toys, a crate to play hide and seek in, and a big ball of yarn. She fed the birds outside the window so they would have something to look at. She assimilated so well with them while I was gone, keeping to their routines and patterns. She left the house in a better condition than I did. The communication while I was away was perfect. I never had time to wonder or worry. She even kept my plants alive for me! Thank you Beth!”
“Bob and Jan did a wonderful job caring for our disabled dog, cats, bunnies and chickens. They were tidy, kind, communicative and thoughtful. I felt very relaxed with the animals in their hands. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since college, starting with dog walking, house sitting, and providing care. I have experience with puppies, including basic training and helping them establish good routines, as well as caring for senior dogs who may need extra attention or medication. I’ve worked with dogs of different ages, personalities, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable adapting my care to each dog’s individual needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Being a stay a home mom, I am able to provide continuous care for your pet! Whether it be early morning walks, middle of the day potty breaks, or late night play time; I’m ready to provide loving care to your pets while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is that I actually stick to your pet’s routine and pay attention to the little things. I also don’t mind helping taking care of exotic pets because I am trying to be an Exotics/Wildlife Veterinarian and have always had a passion for exotics, so I’ll be more than happy to help! I’ve helped with puppy training like potty reinforcing basic commands, but I am always willing to learn any crate training or potty training. I’m also comfortable with senior pups and making sure they get extra patience, slower walks, or medications if needed but I will need to learn how to administer your pup’s medication. I always send updates and photos so you know your pups are happy and taken care of. Pet care fits really well into my routine since I’m mostly available in the afternoons. I usually plan my classes and responsibilities earlier in the day, so afternoons are open for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime. It works out great because I can give pets my full attention without feeling rushed, and I’m able to stay consistent with their schedule. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and walk schedules, give them plenty of attention, and respect their personality and space. I’m also very respectful of the home and always send updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

About: Dogs, cats, birds, and fish . . . These are some of the best friends I’ve had over the last 45 years. All of my pets have lived long, healthy lives based on excellent feeding, grooming, and regular medical care. I genuinely love animals and have a very watchful eye on their well-being. I am a retired school administrator with a 36-year history of creating productive learning environments and protecting the lives of thousands of school children. Care-taking is my thing. Now, I have a very flexible schedule/calendar, and I am wide open to opportunities to meet and care for animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors. I am available to follow instructions for drop-in or pet/house-sitting in the client’s home—including feeding and letting dogs out for potty breaks, feeding and checking in on cats, and feeding fish or birds.

“Kyle was a very conscientious caregiver to our dog. He showed up twice a day (even in the rain) to walk our dog at my dad‘s house. He even went above and beyond by applying an antibiotic to her tail and putting the donut/tail guard on her every night. I strongly recommend Kyle to anyone needing thisservice.”
About: Growing up I wasn’t able to have pets, so I always volunteered to care for my neighbors pets. It was the best part of my childhood. Now that I have pets of my own, I’ve realized how much goes into it. I’m constantly researching new things to help my pets thrive. I rescued my dog as a puppy from the side of the road when I was 13. I had to learn to potty train her, leash train, etc. Realizing how many things could hurt her, even my everyday foods was enlightening and scary. Learning about cats and dogs is so intriguing and I want to understand each and every animal I take care of on a personal level. I am currently a stay at home mom to a 2 year old and newborn. While my little need a lot of one on one time, they sleep a lot allowing for plenty of time to spend with my fur baby as well as yours! My apartment complex offers a fenced in area for animal play which my pup loves taking advantage of. About once a day we go to said area to play and get all of our energy out, when we’re more on a time crunch we’ll take a lap around the building. We tend to go on walks every 3-4 hours or as Trixie let me know she’s needing to potty!
“Allison is the best! This was my first time using Rover as a pet owner and I definitely plan on using Allison again. I just rescued Maya three weeks ago and was a little nervous but Allison came for a meet and greet and I immediately felt at ease and knew I could trust Maya with her. She was very thorough and attentive with Maya and took some great pictures too that I might have to get framed!”
About: I've volunteered for colonial capital humane society, I have taken a Veterinary Technician class, and did my clinical hours at Jill's pet resort. So overall I have plenty of experience with animals because I also have lived with them. I am off all day Monday through Wednesday. Wednesday is up until 9 pm. And the rest of the week I'm off for the daytime till 9 pm. I will mostly try to take care of pets outside of my home. Such as walking or pet sitting for other people. Because there are enough animals in the house I live in
“April is awesome. She was easy to communicate with and asked a lot of valid questions in order to provide our dogs with the best care. The dogs enjoyed her company and she gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
“Liz is super. She is reliable to come when scheduled. If there are any changes, she is flexible to our needs. Communication is great; she always provides a report and photos. Most importantly, she loves Baby and gives her the attention needed. If you are looking for an experienced person to love and walk your dog, look no further. We highly recommend her.”
“Christine is a great dog person! She's very attentive, sensitive and makes my babies feel comfortable. She is able to walk both a 5-year-old Golden Retriever and a 4-month-old puppy and keep them safe. Highly recommend Christine for care of your fur babies.”

On weekends, I have full availability and can accommodate care at any time.

I have part time job that I work at occasionally, but my passion is caring for our furry friends! I have 3 of my own and always find my most joyful moments are spent loving on them. Caring for pets is all about meeting them in their comfort space and going from there. Each furry friend has their own boundaries and when caring for them, it is vital to get to know them and build a trusting relationship with them, based on their personality. A meet and greet is the best way I have found to start this relationship.

About: Hi!! I’m new here! My name is Lily, I’m 19 years old and I’m looking to take care of some fur babies!!! I have experience caring for pets and understand that every animal has their own unique needs and temperament. I’m comfortable with feeding, giving medication, refreshing water, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, providing lots of love and attention and so much more. I’m responsible, patient, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whatever your pet may be, I’m open to all sorts of animals! They will all be loved with the most attention under my care! I currently have an open schedule through out the week, and I will be able to work around your availability and timing! Let me know what days and time you would prefer and I will be more than happy to work with you Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I’ll treat your furry family member with the same care and attention I would give my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Maria was so very kind and kept me updated with sending pictures of my fur baby while out of town. She accepted a very last minute stay and was super easy to communicate with!”
“Olivia was amazing! We left our 7m kitten with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent us daily updates and pictures, which made us feel so comfortable knowing he was happy and well taken care of. He absolutely loved staying with her! He got along so well with her male cat and even had fun with her two kids. Olivia was so sweet, caring, and attentive, and we could tell our kitten was genuinely happy and comfortable with her. We would 100% recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
“Reagan took very good care of our girls. She sent pictures and updates and responded pretty quickly when I asked about them. Her home is non smoking so I didn’t have to worry about taking them to the groomer right away. Would definitely have her dog sit for us again if she’ll have us. lol. Thank you Reagan!”
“Amazing is all I can say!!! This was the first time Marcus stayed away from us and from the pics and videos we had nothing to worry about!! Faith was so so sweet and welcoming!! Even her mom came out to welcome him and they had home made treats!! Yes, home made!!!! 🍪 If you need puppy care, look no further, Faith is wonderful!! Thank you so so much for loving our fur baby! 🩵🐶”
“Booking with Kiley was the best decision we ever made! She sent tons of pics and videos, and nova had so much fun spending the weekend with her and her family. She played, did some crafts, and was so well taken care of. Nova is a puppy, and our baby so knowing she was in the hands of someone who loved her just as much as we do made us feel so much better about leaving for a long weekend. If you’re doubting if you should book- just do it!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple animals throughout my life, such as dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, ducks, and chickens. I’m very reliable and will make sure to follow directions on how you want your animal taken care of. I am currently a student and have a part time job, but I also have a lot of free time on my hands making this type of job perfect for me. I grew up around cats and dogs growing up and care deeply for animals. For animals I board I like to do a meet and greet to let your animal get to know an unfamiliar place with you there. For dog sitting I like to do a meet and greet at the house or a nearby park to get to know your pet and so that I’m not a stranger to them when hanging with them.
“Jessica was an amazing Sitter. She’s a great care of our Sheepadoodle. He loved being there she must update it on how he was doing and sent us lots of pictures. I would highly recommend her to watch your dog.”
About: What sets me apart is that I actually stick to your pet’s routine and pay attention to the little things. I also don’t mind helping taking care of exotic pets because I am trying to be an Exotics/Wildlife Veterinarian and have always had a passion for exotics, so I’ll be more than happy to help! I’ve helped with puppy training like potty reinforcing basic commands, but I am always willing to learn any crate training or potty training. I’m also comfortable with senior pups and making sure they get extra patience, slower walks, or medications if needed but I will need to learn how to administer your pup’s medication. I always send updates and photos so you know your pups are happy and taken care of. Pet care fits really well into my routine since I’m mostly available in the afternoons. I usually plan my classes and responsibilities earlier in the day, so afternoons are open for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime. It works out great because I can give pets my full attention without feeling rushed, and I’m able to stay consistent with their schedule. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and walk schedules, give them plenty of attention, and respect their personality and space. I’m also very respectful of the home and always send updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.
