“As always, Kimberly went above and beyond taking care of our bunny while we were out of town! She provided updates and photos with each visit so we knew that all was well in his little world. She is so wonderful and we are lucky to have found her!”
“Gabby had to put up with a spoiled rotten cat! Skittles is the most unsociable cat there is. But everyday without fail she sent me a message that he was eating drinking and still hiding out in his room. She left her house open for Skittles to wander around in but he preferred hiding in a hole he created in her couch🤦 I cannot say enough good about this young mother of 4 beautiful children. She is now out family preferred sitter.”
“Megan was great! She sent pictures for each visit showing us the food and water were filled and litter boxes were clean, and of course pictures of the cats! Our cats can be picky with who they come downstairs for, especially our boy, so seeing that he came downstairs when she was visiting made us feel great about choosing Megan as our sitter. We will definitely rebook!”

“We had a wonderful experience with this Hailey! This was our first time using Rover to book a cat sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better.

We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“She was very reliable and detailed with what she did for our kitties. She sent photos of the food bowl before refilling so that we knew how much our cat was eating. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Lifelong cat owner with four cats. Years of daily hands-on care. Patient, gentle, detail focused. I handle feeding, litter, play, brushing, and send clear updates. I treat every cat like family, even putting out food for strays. Calm presence, lots of love, and reliable care while you’re away.
“Jennifer was awesome checking in on my 2 cats while I was away at a conference. We texted and also spoke via phone about each cat’s need, how they may respond with a new person, and my expectations. She spent the time of the short check in to ensure they were fed, watered, and did play time with them. She also kept me apprised the entire time. I plan to use her in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Courtney was amazing. She took great care of our 3 cats. Each visit she sent us so many great pictures and a very thorough summary of the visit. I will absolutely use Courtney again!”
“Sarah and Rover was such a good choice for us. 3 catz, each with distinct needs requires a special touch, and Sarah has that, and more! We are 100% satisfied with this service and will use Sarah for our pets again. Kudos to Rover!”
About: I have been cat sitting for friends and family for a number of years now. I learned about the needs of cats through running the cat program of an animal rescue for about 6 months. In that time I was able to understand cat behavior, learn to administer medicine and vaccinations, provide for community cats, and engage in TNVR efforts.
“I can’t say enough good things about Cynthia, she is absolutely amazing. She took great care of my cats and fish including one cat who requires insulin. She went above and beyond again when I asked to extend my trip, then continued to help after I got sick and had to delay it again.”
“This was our first experience with Rover and it went very well. We were a little unsure of the process but it turned out pretty easy. We used Alex for drop in visits since we had to take our oldest back to school. He provided us with pictures and good feedback. It was important to us to have someone close and that had a love of animals. We would recommend Alex and will definitely be using his services again.”

About: Dog care certified in Argentina, as an animal lover I want to pursue career caring for them. Since young, I used to spend a lot of time in dog walks and parks with them. I believe now, I can provide them the perfect environment of a fenced backyard of 10.000 sqf. I love to exercise and pamper pups and we're easy to reach, even for a last-minute need. With some dog training experience and a lot of love for dogs, I look forward to taking care of your family member like one of our own. Depending on your pup's needs, I will take long playtime or jogs with your dog. If your furry family member just needs companionship and loving attention, I am happy to provide that kind of care, too. Photos of your dog will be shared with you throughout their visit. I love to send lots of pictures of my guests. My house is generally a cage-free environment, but will use your crates if that is what your pup is used to at home. I have a couple of gates to use as necessary to separate dogs during meals and to give them a large, safe play area in our home.
“Taking on a totally unknown dog from a cross-country road trip, IS a risk. We knew our senior dog Ginger would likely be stressed: 1st from the trip, and 2nd to be left with a stranger, in an unfamiliar environment. Linda really seems to love the dogs, she had 1-2 fosters there when we arrived (not sure, as I think I only saw 1). While I'm sure it was hard on both of them, we do sincerely appreciate her taking on our dog for a few hours, so that we could attend the wedding of an old family friend. If you read this Linda, I am interested in that food you had there for your fosters. Please shoot me a message, I may look at ordering it to try next time. Thanks again!”
“My Ellie was so happy and tired when I picked her up! I can tell she had a great time with this family 🙂. Allison was very communicative and promptly greeted me upon drop-off/pick-up!”
“Barbara was polite, thoughtful, and kind. She texted to let us know how he was doing about halfway through the appointment, and she shared a cute picture. I would definitely book with her again and certainly recommend her!”
“This was the first time we used Rover.com so we were a little apprehensive. Linda made that first time experience wonderful. Words cannot describe how pleased we were with response, friendliness and most of all the care our fur baby received. Would recommend her service without hesitation.”
“Lisette is WONDERFUL and her family is also so nice. She was very friendly and lovable, super communicative, helpful, and also flexible. She took great care of my dog and sent photos throughout the day, and he was really happy and relaxed (and in no hurry to leave) when I came to pick him up so I know he loved being there! I definitely recommend her and will send my dog there again anytime she's available!”
“Abby and her husband were great hosts! Awesome communication and everything was made easy and smooth for a last minute request. Their dogs Maple Syrup and Moose were such good puppy hosts and played well with our dog. We received plentiful videos and pictures of the fun!”

“Chelsea took such amazing care of my dog, Meadow! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands.Meadow had an absolute blast she got to play so much, and Chelsea kept me updated with pictures, which made me so happy and reassured while I was away.It was obvious that Meadow was loved, well cared for, and treated like part of the family.

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience, caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s been a lifelong passion. From a young age, I’ve been surrounded by animals and have dedicated my life to understanding and supporting their needs. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have worked professionally as a veterinary technician in a veterinary office in Utah, giving me a strong medical background and the ability to recognize and respond to a wide range of health and behavioral concerns. My experience also includes working in multiple kennels across many states where I cared for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. This has given me the skills to handle everything from energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra patience and care. At home, I’m a proud pet owner myself. I have a 13-year-old Chihuahua that I’ve raised since he was a puppy, as well as an 11-year-old pit bull mix I rescued from a shelter in 2017, and my beloved cat I adopted in 2023. My own pets have given me firsthand experience with aging animals, rescue care, and the importance of providing a safe, loving environment. When you trust me with your pet, you can feel confident knowing they will be treated like family—with compassion, experience, and the highest level of care. I am open most days, as I homeschool my child. Saturday afternoons are usually reserved for personal time but I am available in the morning and night. I can let your dog out in your back yard, take them for a walk, clean litter boxes, do playtime, give food, water, and medications on their schedule.
“Jennifer did an amazing job! She gave us piece of mind knowing that our dog was taken care of while we explored DC. She was very thoughtful with our pup on the extreme temperatures too!”
About: I’ve had a cats and dogs since I was little and have experience giving medication, taking them on walks, feeding them, including specialized diets and medications. I have experience in senior care and taking care of disabled animals, having two senior pets and a disabled cat of my own. I’m very flexible and love animals! I’m a student and working part time, but I still have plenty of free time to care for your animals! I am dedicated and able to take care of my own animals and take care of yours! I am very calm and understanding of animals boundaries. I can hangout with your pet if needed, but also understand if they’re more skittish, having experience with past skittish pets.
About: Hello, my name is Sierra! As a dedicated pet owner myself, I understand the deep bond between animals and their families. With over 7 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, I've honed my skills in providing compassionate and reliable pet-sitting services. I'm excited to extend my love for animals to your furry friends. I am seeking a rewarding opportunity to utilize my free time. I'm available most days and times and would love to offer my services as a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Your pet will feel right at home in my caring environment. I offer a safe and fun outdoor space, as well as cozy indoor comforts. I'm flexible and adaptable, ensuring that your pet's needs are always met.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all sorts. I grew up with small, medium, and large dogs as well as indoor and outdoor cats. I’ve also grown up caring for animals from a variety of backgrounds- fosters, rescues, you name it. I genuinely love spending time with animals and since I can’t have one of my own this seems like a great way to connect with pets and offer my services. I’m happy to come meet any animals in advance to make you more comfortable. I currently work remotely 90% of the time so this gives me a lot of flexibility to walk and take care of animals during work day hours if needed. I’m very good with following whatever directions will make you and your pets feel the most comfortable in your homes and out on walks.
About: I have been animal sitting for almost 9 years now, starting when I was in high school. I have experience in animal care for multiple species, energy levels, behaviors, ages, and health needs. No task is too big for me, my biggest job was being a sitter for a family of 10 dogs, and a pig! I worked at a nonprofit animal rescue where I learned more about how to care for cats and dogs, and how to gauge their personalities, and energy levels. I am passionate about animal happiness and satisfaction. Right now, I am completely free. I have a car and a valid drivers license. I just moved back home after hiking for 4 months on the Appalachian trail, while walking I had lots of time to think about my passions, and of those are animal welfare, care, and personally staying active and fit! I have two personal dogs, one of which is a senior in hospice care, out of respect for him, I am not taking animals into my home right now. However, any type of drop-ins or house-sitting is on the table. I take direction seriously and can provide medical care, activity, play, feeding, or anything else that is needed for your beloved animal!
About: I have grown up surrounded by animals all my life. I have over 7 years of experiences taking care of other peoples’ pets and love to make every animal feel loved, safe, and happy in my care! I have successfully pet sat for many friends, family, and neighbors throughout my life and look forward to getting more experience with your pets! I have 2 cats of my own and hope someday soon to get a dog. I love give belly rubs, back scratches, and doing anything I can to make sure your pet feels right at home while you’re away. I am a full time remote graduate student local to the area. I am available every day of the week anytime that you need! I can easily be reached for day of scheduling, and would love to find a time that works best for you to take care of your furry friend. I enter each home with the highest level of respect and courtesy. I always make sure to respect any pets needs or preferences, and will do everything to keep all pets safe, happy, and loved. I am very patient and friendly, and would love to get the chance to care for your pet!
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, and I’ve had the pleasure of living with, and pet sitting for multiple cats and dogs. I’ve done both kitty and dog meds, so if you have a high maintenance fur child like me, I’ve got you covered!! If you trust me with your fur baby, I promise I will love them as much as I love my own!! I work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility. Mornings are more difficult for me, but I can definitely work with you to find what’s best for the pets! My own pets are high maintenance, so I am definitely able to work with your pets needs. I crate my own dog, and give both my dog and cat meds and supplements. I don’t have any human children so my pets are my children. I will give your pet the love, attention, and care I give my own!!
