Net has been absolutely amazing with our dogs, especially helping us adjust to our new addition to the family. We have a 5-year-old Norwegian Elkhound and a ~5-month-old Norwegian Elkhound, and she has been wonderful with both of them. On the days she walks them, I come home from work to two dogs who are calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. From the very first meeting, they adored her and were immediately comfortable playing and spending time with her. I’m incredibly thankful to have found someone so reliable and kind who has taken the stress of midday walks off my plate. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Samantha took incredible care of my dog, arriving on time, providing consistent updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away!! It was clear Griffen was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Samantha again.

Larry was great with our two cats. It was our first time using Rover and I'll definitely be booking him again next time we need someone to watch our cats. All directions were followed and he even helped pickup the hairballs while we were away.

About: I have owned and lived with dogs and cats for my entire life. After losing my beloved shihtzu 6 years ago I decided I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others. I foster pets, dogsit/housesit board and walk dogs and I have a flexible schedule. I love dogs of all sizes but I only have space in my own home for dogs under 20lbs. I am available to do home checks and midday walks. I am available for overnights or weekends stays. I will of course follow your rules for whether pets are allowed on the furniture but as far as I am concerned, your pets are family and in my home they can go anywhere that I can go! If you’re looking for someone calm, dependable and responsible, look no further! I have a flexible schedule and can be available for midday walks, dinner, enrichment, and overnights. I love field trips and fun adventures with your pup and can also just hang out if they need companionship. I do not have any pets of my own so that I can dedicate my time to pet sitting and fostering. This enables me to host small pets in my home or to stay with pets for extended periods such as vacations.

Our first experience with Leah has been great! She took perfect care of our 4cats. Leah is a great communicator and took good initiative when things arose that we hadn’t been able to discuss in advance. We’ll definitely feel our cats are in excellent hands when we have the opportunity to have her here again!

Sandy was *amazing*! We had her visit 1/day for 30 min. She took care of our two cats for a week, as well as fed our fish, took in the mail, and made sure our deck plants had water. Every morning, we would get pics and/or a video of our cats (usually being attended to! :)) and an update on things. Our cats *loved* Sandy! Sandy made us feel very safe and secure in leaving our cats in her care and would definitely call upon her services again. Thank you, Sandy!

Mary-Kate did a fantastic job! I have two older cats that need to get medicine every day and she made sure they were both taken care of. I also have a super shy kitten who normally hides from strangers, but he came out to see her when she visited. It was a huge relief to find someone who did such an amazing job and was so great with all of my cats. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a cat sitter.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals - and especially cats! I grew up volunteering at animal shelters, working to help socialize both cats and dogs to help them get adopted faster. I started formally cat sitting for friends a few years ago, and it has revitalized my love for taking care of animals. It would be a pleasure to help you with your pet fam! I will mostly be available afternoons and weekends. I currently work part time with some telecommuting days. Happy to come by before or after work, or stay with your pet fam on days I telework! In my experience with cat/dog sitting, I am used to preparing meals, cleaning litter boxes, going on walks, changing water, and play time- in addition to never ending head scratches and belly rubs!

My husband and I just returned from an over 2 week trip to Europe. I hired Rachelle through Rover to care for my 2 senior cats while we were gone. I felt relief each night when I would receive her check in and check out along with photos. She would communicate anything I needed to know through the app. My Nina has some digestion issues and Caydee is very shy and does not warm up to strangers easily. I was very pleased that Nina had few problems and that Caydee allowed Rachelle to give her belly rubs (she doesn't even let me do that) and I have the pictures to prove it. I would surely recommend Rachelle to anyone looking for a responsible cat sitter and I will certainly be using her again.

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s dogs for many years. I make sure to walk them every day with a balanced meal. I will bathe your dog if requested or as needed. I’m a recent college graduate so I’m available most of the week. I’m ready to devote myself to giving care to animals and I love spending time with them. I live in an apartment with my partner and our two cats so, I’ll only be able to provide services at the client’s house. I will take the dog on leash if there is no fence. I have worked in animal clinic in the kennel so I experience with crating dogs at night. I additionally love spending time with cats and will play with them. I like to meet cats where they are at and not push their boundaries.

Stephanie was amazing. We met her once and knew she was the right choice. She was easily able to handle providing medication and special nutritional needs for our two older girls, as well as, keeping our younger guy busy with plenty of playtime. Steph sent plenty of pictures each day along with a detailed recap of each visit. When we were delayed 2 days getting home from our trip she was happy to extend our agreement to help us out of the jam. I would recommend to anyone needing care for their animals… as long as we don’t need her first!

This was my first time using Rover and Lauren helped walk me through the process and put me at ease. Lauren took wonderful care of my cats. She sent me updates each visit and plenty of pictures. What particularly impressed me though was my [typically] more shy cat really came around and was curious about her. Seems like my cats were impressed, too.

Evelyn was a pleasure to work with. Ask plenty of questions and took detailed notes at our meet and great. She even watered my plants for me while away. My cats seemed to really like her too. She took great care of the while away and stayed in touch the whole time. Will book with her again next time we travel.
