“I definitely recommend Dale for peace of mind when leaving your furry friends. He took excellent care of my senior fur baby and even got my nervous cat to warm up. He sent great photos and updates the whole time, and went above and beyond tidying their litter and eating areas. I would absolutely have Dale back to care for my guys!”

“Lauren is the best!! She was so nice, and loved on our two kitties!!! She goes above and beyond to make sure the animals are happy, and makes animal parents feel at ease while being away! Highly recommend Lauren!!”

About: Me and pets…we just get each other, you know? I’ve been taking care of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, geckos, and more since I was a child. (Before I go on, both of my cats are currently staying with my parents — so I have plenty of room for your pet!) I’m close to my sister, and her senior pug, Lola, and new puppy, Ruby, are my sweet nieces — I’ve cared for them like they’re my own many times over the years. (I can’t wait to get my own dog someday!) I also love to foster all kinds of animals, from puppies to new cat moms and their 8 tiny kittens. In fact, I adopted my second cat, Dusty, after fostering and falling in love with her from APA three years ago. I adopted my senior cat, Minerva, almost 14 years ago from a Brooklyn shelter. I’m a freelance writer and editor who works from home and loves to be outside, which is why Rover is perfect for me. Whether I’m taking your pup on a long walk (my favorite thing in the world) or cuddling up with your kitty at home, I’m excited to meet your furry best friend! I’m a freelance writer who works from home and sets my own schedule. I also don’t currently have pets in my home. So I have a lot of flexibility to visit your home, take your pet on walks, or host them in my home! My home is currently pet free and safe and ready to welcome your pet. They can even sleep in the bed if they feel like cuddling!
About: Growing up, we had two small dogs and a grouchy old cat. When I was 22, I adopted my own kitten who was found in a barn and later at 25, adopted another kitten. I absolutely adore pets and will make sure that I’ve spent enough time with them to make them feel loved even when you are away. I’m the go-to pet sitter in my family and have traveled to Florida, Denver and Chicago to take care of different relatives dogs. This included a dog with a sensitive stomach/strict diet and an older deaf/blind dog needing different medications throughout the day. I would love to adapt a puppy now, but it does not make sense for me as I tend to travel on the weekends at least once a month. So, I’m on Rover looking to get my animal fix and am so excited about it! I’m fully remote and have a flexible work day, which allows me to easily spend ample time with your dog or cat! I’d love to keep them company while you are busy. I plan on following your instructions on how to best interact with your pet and make them feel safe. However your pet needs to be greeted and left after visiting them, I’ll make sure to follow those instructions.
“Tara is truly the best! I booked her last minute over the holidays and she made it work in her schedule. No questions asked and took great care of my kitties! She goes above and beyond and I would’ve been stranded without her.”

“Mary was great! She stayed with my 8 week old puppy while I left the house for a bit. She kept my girl busy and happy while I was gone. She took some great pictures of her too!”

West Congress pet parents share their Rover experiences
Truly can’t say enough good things about Kim. Leaving my cats is never easy, but she made the entire experience stress free. I am a very anxious cat mom and leaving my cats is never easy, but Kim is so attentive to each of their personalities and routines. Making my stress non existent. She send thoughtful photos, updates and a true peace of mind when I’m away. If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely care about your pets like they’re her own, then book Kim. I will be using her in the future

Melissa was amazing with our dog, Bates! She took great care of him, made sure he was comfortable and happy, and sent plenty of thoughtful updates that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear he was in great hands the whole time. We’d absolutely book with Melissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive for their pet.

I’m sure I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, Summer is the bomb!!! I love her lil cute visit summaries and pics. I’ve had a lot of different sitters in the past, but her vibe has matched mine and Mabel’s the best. 🥰 Amazing communication, responsiveness and reliability. Thank you for being so kind to my sweet bay potato!

Lillian was absolutely amazing with my three babies! I haven’t used Rover in over 4 years and was pretty nervous to leave them for a few days for a work trip. Lillian came over for a meet and greet prior to make everyone comfortable and they all loved her immediately. She kept me updated with pictures each visit and it definitely eased my anxious mind. I’ll definitely be using Lillian again in the future!
