“I felt so confident leaving my menagerie with Elizabeth. Professional, competent, and able to adjust plans when needed. Especially appreciated because I was out of cell range for most of my trip - it was a huge relief to trust that someone would take care of my pets like I would if I were home! Will 100% book with her again”

“Adriana loves cats and it shows as she took great care of our 4 cats while away. She's responsible, sent us pictures of the cats each day, and communicated with us the whole time. She followed a specific feeding routine to a tee (we have 3 cats who all have to be fed separately) and kept them with full water bowls.”

I'm feeling quite confident about having her stay at our home for a few days while we attend a wedding out of town later this month.”

“Randi was an awesome dog sitter! Our dog warmed up to her almost immediately. She paid special attention to the specific care our dog needed when she watched her at our place for about a week. She took note of all of Zara’s needs and would send over photos periodically to let us know everything was going well. I would highly recommend her for caring for your animal and I’m sure our dog Zara would too!”

“Hillary was the perfect sitter for us! She was very attentive to our daily schedule with our dog, and was very understanding in how we like to care for her. She followed all of our routines, and gave our dog so much love and care while we were away. She sent so many great updates and lots of photos which we appreciated. It gave us such piece of mind knowing all the things that went on while we were away. Once we arrived home, we could tell how much our dog loved Hillary. From the tail wags, zoomies, and constant pets 😊 We would recommend Hillary to anyone who wants their dog cared for by someone who treats them like their own!”

“Gail took great care of our little Nugget and we are so very grateful. Our dog can be very particular, stubborn and has a particular set of care needs - most of which are typical of small terriers, but does require a caretaker/owner with patience and good attention detail. Gail took all of that on with ease -she was communicative and had a positive atttude which we really appreciate. She asked great questions and worked with us to problem solve when Nugget was not cooperating. It felt really good to leave our pet in her care and looking forward to having her look after our dog in the future!”

“Doris was wonderful! I’m so glad she was able to take care of my girls last minute. I got updates on all of my girls throughout the day. I’m so appreciative for her not only taking us on last minute but also while one of my girls is trying to recover from an upset stomach and requires a little more TLC. She’s one of the first sitters I’ve used using Rover, & the first time my pets were taken care of by someone other than friends and family and it was a great experience for us. I will definitely be reaching out to Doris again when I need a pet sitter.”

“We had an amazing experience with our Rover sitter watching our 3 kitties while we were away. She was incredibly attentive, kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, and really helped ease our anxiety about being away from home. Our cats were well cared for, and we came home to a clean and well maintained place, which we truly appreciated after traveling. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches and goes above and beyond to make both the animals and owners feel comfortable. We would absolutely book with her again and she will definitely be our go to sitter moving forward. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs throughout my life and I have always felt a strong connection and kindness to animals. I have done petsitting for dogs, cats, and even a leopard gecko before! I have one cat who is 17 years old. His brother was the same age and passed away earlier this year. I had a dog that lived to about 15 and I lost him several years ago, so I have experience with taking care of senior pets and the process of loss. Taking care of pets is something I love doing! I work as a mental health therapist, with most of my shifts from 3pm-8pm on weekdays. I sometimes have meetings in mid-morning. With my job, there is tremendous flexibility due to constant shifts in my caseload and clients cancelling appointments. I am also in charge of my own schedule. Generally, I will be most available in the morning and afternoon for pet care. Weekend availability may fluctuate depending on my plans. I will happily follow your instructions and preferences regarding care for your pet, and I would love to send you pictures and updates! I appreciate it when my own cat-sitter does that for me, so I know you probably do too.

About: I spent 15 years as the primary caregiver for my pit bull, from training her as a puppy at 5 months old through her senior years, learning her routines and moods inside and out and adapting her care as she aged, including managing mobility changes and medication in her later years. For the past few months I've also been pet sitting for other dogs, giving me a feel for adjusting to different personalities, routines, and households. I know what it takes to make a dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether that's a high-energy pup who needs structure or an older dog who needs a gentler pace and extra patience. I bring the same attentiveness, reliability, and genuine care to every dog I look after that I gave my own for 15 years. I'm currently job searching, which gives me a flexible schedule for drop-in visits throughout the day and week. I can typically be available on short notice for quick check-ins, whether that's a midday visit, feeding, or just stopping by to give your dog some attention and a bathroom break. I'm happy to swing by multiple times a day if needed to keep your pup comfortable while you're away. For drop-in visits, I focus on keeping things calm and consistent with your dog's normal routine. I'll follow whatever instructions you leave for feeding, medication, or playtime, and I always do a quick check of food, water, and the yard or living space before I leave. I'm attentive to your dog's body language so I can tell if something feels off, and I always lock up and leave things exactly as I found them.

Ellis was fantastic, I can't recommend them enough. Two of our cats are pretty shy and scared of new people, but they immediately warmed up to Ellis. They sent us daily photos to keep us updated, and all the cats were calm when we came back, which is always a great indication they got a lot of playtime and attention.
