They were properly stimulated, and to the point of driving them home, they napped the entire way. I would be honored to have Mee Jeong watch our girls again!”

“Shirley was absolutely wonderful with my pug, Daisy! I reached out pretty last minute, and she was incredibly quick to respond and so accommodating, which immediately took a huge weight off my shoulders. Throughout the weekend, Shirley sent lots of pictures and videos of Daisy, and I loved getting to see how she was doing and how comfortable and happy she looked. She kept me updated without me ever having to ask, which made it so much easier to relax and enjoy my weekend knowing Daisy was in great hands. You can tell Shirley genuinely cares about the pets she watches and treats them like her own. She was attentive, reliable, communicative, and just overall such a pleasure to work with. Daisy came home happy and well cared for, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely trust Shirley with Daisy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their fur baby! 🐾💕”

About: I have cat sitting experience including kittens and a senior cat (15 years old). For the kittens, I had to administer oral antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection. I am no stranger to cleaning litter boxes and also safely handling cats if they do need to be picked up.
“She was exactly who we needed to care for our finicky sweet cat. Abby communicated with us every time she visited with photos and videos of our kitty. She updated us on our kitty’s patterns and eating habits and learned when she wanted attention and when she needed a little space (so important for cats!). She was flexible with needing to find supplies in the house like trash bags when we didn’t leave enough out. Our cat clearly loved having her there and warmed up to her quickly. Bubs is usually visibly stressed after we are gone even with care but this time she was happy and relaxed when we got back. Abby was really the perfect cat sitter for us!!”

She took great care of my two cats, followed all of my feeding instructions perfectly, and even cleaned their dishes after each meal. Most importantly, she spent lots of time playing with them, which made them so happy and helped ease any separation anxiety. Every day, I received photos, videos, and a detailed report, which made me feel completely at ease. I could tell my cats were truly loved and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth is the best! She has cared for our cat several times now, but our cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes and now needs more care. Elizabeth has handled it all like a pro, communicating clearly and being very patient with my nerves. Thank you!”
About: I first gained experience caring for cats while I was an au pair from 2016–2018. I helped my host family care for their cat by feeding, playing, cleaning the litter box, and giving insulin injections when needed. Since joining Rover, I’ve cared for cats in multiple households, with many repeat visits ranging from single drop-ins to over 10 visits for the same family. I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, administer medication or insulin if needed, and make sure each cat receives plenty of attention, playtime, and loving care while their owners are away.
“Amazing communication, were super flexible and able to accommodate last minute booking, would absolutely use them again. My pups made quite a mess and they left my home spotless and even took out the trash and replaced the bag. Very thoughtful and considerate relieves alot of stress”
“Amber has been great each time she has cared for Nugget. She’s patient with Nugget’s mini attitude and has even been able to pet her which is rare for someone to do when I’m away. I appreciate the bond she’s established and how she keeps in contact with me. Amber will even do extra tasks like clean the litter area even though I forgot to ask that when we first established the details of care. Amber is and will continue to be my first call when I need someone to care for my fur baby.”

About: My interest in dogs started 5 years when I became a dog musher in the winters! Then I signed up as a weekly volunteer with my local dog shelter. And I take the shelter dogs on fun field trips (hikes, parks, canoeing on the potomac- you name it)! I don't have pets of my own so my time is dedicated fully to other people's dogs and cats. I also work part time from home and have a very flexible schedule. I will make sure I understand you and your dog's needs, and work together as a team and your dog has a super fun adventure and time will fly!
“Shizuka was absolutely wonderful with Mayo! It was a gloomy, rainy day, and Shizuka went above and beyond to make sure he was mentally stimulated and happy. Instead of just sitting around, she engaged him with indoor dog puzzles and interactive games to burn off his energy. Mayo came home tired and content, which is the best sign of a great day! If you're looking for a sitter who is attentive, creative, and truly cares about your pup's well-being, I highly recommend Shizuka. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I’m a pre-vet student who just graduated from UVA and has grown up with two large dogs! I’ve also recently owned a hamster from a college lab! I have a lot of experience dog and cat sitting for friends and family including puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. I also have about 100 hours of dog walking experience from a shelter so I am comfortable with reactive/fearful/energetic dogs, and another 100 from shadowing at a vet practice. I am currently looking for a vet assistant job so my schedule is open 7 days a week! I am used to all day pet sitting. I always make sure that I understand the instructions that I’m given and maintain clear communication with the owner if I have any questions. I never make any assumptions and always make sure that the owner is comfortable with any decisions that need to be made.
“Tricia was phenomenal. We met her on short notice and we were away for a full week. Tricia visited our house twice a day for walks, feeding and water. She took excellent care of our dog, Maggie, and was in communication throughout the week. We felt so secure with her and Maggie was very happy when we got home.”
“Abigail is amazing with my dogs. She is patient with both my reactive Terrier who can pull on the leash and my senior frail Chihuahua. She is easy to communicate with and I feel like my pets could’t be in better hands. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Elise has been walking my dog for several months now, and I couldn’t recommend her more. She is great with Remy and does such a phenomenal job at communicating! I always feel comfortable knowing she’s with him.”
“Suphaphattra responded to us very quickly to walk our 55-lb lab mix on short-notice and did everything we hoped she would do! We would very happily use her services again - thank you Evie!”
“Isabelle walks my goldendoodle furchild every day and she’s such an important part of Maya’s life. To start, she’s super communicative and reliable, which makes it really easy to plan and coordinate walks and dogcare with her. She was also great about learning what behaviors we try to reinforce, Maya’s habits and routines and what Maya eats, which gives me the warm and fuzzies that as a parent, aunt Isabelle is staying consistent with dad’s rules. Isabelle is so great with dogs and has good judgment generally; seeing how she interacts with Maya and hearing her describe how Maya did on a given walk, I trust her implicitly. Lately she’s been really helpful in figuring out fun new walking routes or destinations that cater to Maya’s interests and mood and energy level. Yep Isabelle is a wonderful dog “auntie” and just a delightful human being. I don’t know what her advertised rates are on here, but you should pay them and then some. Isabelle, get after it girl. Charge people what you’re worth! ?”
“Come rain or shine, Amanda was always here with a smile for our big and little bubbas! There is no price for the peace of mind to know that our abode, Finnegan and Nibbs were in good hands while we were away! Would give more stars if I could! Hate to move away, hope to be as fortunate with whomever we find next.”
“Ellie has provided such great care for Brady!! She has gone above and beyond all expectations . . . so nice to be able to go away and know that Brady is receiving such loving care.”

Before I leave, I provide water, toys, and food if requested. I also have experience crating dogs.
“Joon was great with Luna, who is a very sweet but timid dog especially since this was her first time being walked by someone else without my presence. Joon was calm, confident, and caring and I will 100% use him again.”
