“Kasey house/pet sat my 2 cats and chickens on a holiday weekend and did a great job communicating with me. I appreciated the photo updates and she left the house just as I left it! Definitely will reach out again.”
2. Anna W.
“Anna is a wonderful caregiver for pets! She treated my cat with so much love, going out of her way to spend as much time with her and recognize her needs. She also walked my friend’s dog for several weeks. During each walk she would spend extra time with their dog playing and bringing him to all of his favorite spots. She is super communicative and sent lots of photos. I would highly recommend Anna!”
3. Zachary B.
“Zach always does a fantastic job taking care of my cat Eggy while I am out of town. He always goes above and beyond with any specific requests and is very responsive to messages. I can always put my trust in Zach, 100% recommend!!”
4. Melissa H.
About: My family grew up with dogs and cats; the animals are treated as family. Pet sitting (and baby sitting) were part of the routine from early on. My Consulting work is done remotely, which makes my schedule flexible for Rover assignments, and, additionally leaves ample Time for getting out on the trails with tails. I enjoy being out-of-doors, and hope that some time outside is part of your furriends’ daily care plan. I believe in sticking to the schedule that clients have established with their animals for meals, toileting, play time and quiet rest.
5. Allie F.
“I really appreciated that Allie sent me daily photos of my cat and kept me updated on his activities! He was very happy and she was very responsive and respectful. Great pet sitter!”
6. Colleen D.
“Colleen was great! Very communicative, took excellent care of our old doggo, and was neat as a pin. No hesitation about asking her to come back.”
7. Meghan F.
“Meghan was amazing! This was our first rover experience and she made it a seamless process! Our dogs were well cared for and she updated us throughout. Will definitely call on her again!”
8. kelly s.
“Our family was grateful to be able to leave our home and boxer mix rescue with Kelly - she was very thoughtful, organized, communicative and right away our dog was at ease with her. He was one happy pup while we were away with lots of walks and attention. She also cared for our home. We would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone seeking care for their pet/s!”
9. Karen W.
“Trustworthy and meticulous, Karen spent five days with my two big labs and gave them endless love and attention. Since we have no fence, she had to leash and walk the dogs a lot, and modify for the old limpy dog versus the young bouncy one. She left my house looking beautiful and even did the laundry! I want her back next time I'm going out of town.”
10. Melissa F.
“Melissa is one of the best! This was the first time that I left my 3 pups, and Melissa was so comforting to them while I was away. I have a pup that is very anxious and she warmed right up to Melissa. This was house sitting and the house was immaculate when I arrived home. Honestly, there arent enough words to express my appreciation. Thank youso much, Melissa! I will, without a doubt, have you sit for my pups again and again.”
11. Eliza H.
“Eliza took excellent care of my “elderly” dog who needed eye medication twice a day. She sent a lot of pictures which helped my anxiety about being away. I would definitely use Eliza again if I travel in the future.”
12. Bridget K.
“Bridget kept out two very active dogs happy and the house looked great when we returned. Very happy we found Bridget through Rover.”
13. Janna B.
“Janna is definitely an animal lover. She has cared for both my dogs. Never had to worry, I knew they were in great loving hands with her. They would get so excited whenever she walked into the house.”
14. Cristina K.
“Cristina at Bow Wow Babysitters is the hardest working and most caring pet sitter provider in the business. She has cared for my dogs (and even our horses) many times in my home and I leave knowing my little girl Stella will be so happy with Cristina to take her for walks, give her lots of loving and well cared for. I'm very thankful that there are people like Cristina out there to help keep our pets safe and happy when I travel.”
15. Emily C.
“Emily was amazing! We contacted her short notice to hang with our anxious pup while we enjoyed a night out on vacation. She was excellent with communication and our dog was immediately comfortable with her. We would absolutely re-book if paths cross again!”
16. Nathanial B.
“It is so wonderful to be able to trust someone like Nate with your fur babies and home. Nate stayed for 4 nights and four days to give round-the-clock cat care to my two cats. One was recovering from surgery and he took meticulous care of her, giving her medicine and love while I was away. He sent frequent pictures and was very tender and sweet with them. I highly recommend him and will be hiring him again ASAP.”
17. Mya B.
About: I grew up with dogs and have dog sat since I was 16. I’ve worked lots with chickens, goats, cats, and rodents too. Animals melt my heart and I would love to spend more time with them! I have a dog of my own. Her name is Yeti and she gets along with other dogs, cats, chickens, all animals :) She would join me in sitting or walking. If you have a high energy doggo and want them to get some exercise, I'm the perfect pick! I will bring your dog hiking, walking, or running. I can walk dogs on weekdays. Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday I am available for dog sitting and/or dog walking. :) I have recently updated my availability so it is accurate. I have a dog of my own, she is taken very well care of. We do a big exercise once a day (hike, run, walk) which your dog can join! We also do lots of stimulating activities (kong, food puzzles, bones). I cannot offer my home for dog sitting, it is too small. But my dog and I would be more than happy to dog/ cat sit in your pets home.
18. Holly S.
About: Hi I'm Holly! I am a 32 year old professional with over 12 years of experience in pet and house sitting. Having owned dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and more throughout my life, I simply have a genuine love for animals of all kinds. Throughout my experience I have developed a strong connection with a wide range of wonderful pets. This has made me very comfortable caring for animals of different ages and breeds. I approach all of my sits with patience, affection, and attention to your furry family members unique needs. My lifelong passion for animals ensures that your pets will receive the highest level of care and companionship while you're away. I am a marketing professional by trade and I work remotely Friday and Monday with Weekends free so I can offer full time companionship on these days. I am available for sits on Tues/Weds/Thurs but I need to go into the office for 6 hours on these days, so your pets would need to be ok with being left for this duration. Your pets comfort and safety is always my top priority. I will follow any specific instructions you provide, maintain consistent routines, and stay alert to any signs of distress or discomfort. Your pets will be safe, comfortable, and well-cared for at all times.
