“On time and professional for our meet and greet. Eggnog immediately was himself with her, and she handled it well. I’m a helicopter pet parent and I’m confident I have found the right sitter for my Eggnog.”

“Amanda goes above and beyond every single time. My anxious kitties don’t get upset when we’re gone if she’s the one visiting. She spends every minute of the visit actively taking care of them, and clearly loves animals with passion. I’m so grateful for her!!!”

“Donny did an excellent job helping care for our young kitten while we were out of town for 10 days. He was incredibly attentive, communicative, provided photos, and even helped give her medication. Highly recommend”

“Shardae hosted our cat while we were away for a weekend. Her communication throughout the stay was excellent - she sent regular updates and photos which gave us great peace of mind. She made sure our cat had plenty of things to do and birds to watch! Shardae was accommodating with pick-up and drop-off times, which we really appreciated. We were especially grateful for her care since our cat was still recovering from jaw surgery, and Shardae handled this with confidence. We felt completely comfortable leaving our cat in her hands and will definitely book with her again for future stays.”

About: I am a dog lover through and through. I have owned, cared for and loved dogs of every size and shape my entire life. There isn't a pup too big or too small, too young or too old! I am adaptable and can tailor my care to your dogs specific needs and personality. We're talking walks, fetch, pets, puzzles, games and all the attention a dog could ever ask for! I have experience with dog reactivity and dog based fear aggression. I also have experience in puppy care and senior puppy care! I am blessed to have a very open schedule which allows me to be available and flexible to your needs! :) I look forward to meeting you and your fuzzy family member! I am blessed to have a very open schedule during both the week and weekend, which means I am very flexible and can work with you on your specific needs. I treat every pet I care for as the individual they are. I am adaptable and tailor my care based on your pets needs and personality. I know how stressful it is finding care for your pets (I'm a dog mom too!) and my goal is to make sure I do everything I can so that when your dogs in my care, your mind is at ease.
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats almost my entire life and I know how to take care of them well and make them feel happy and safe! I live in an apartment with my family, we all love pets and we’ll have lots of fun taking care of them :) I’m free all day and I’d be more than happy to take your pet in! If there happens to be any reason that I am not free I will update my schedule. I will make sure your pet feels safe and happy here, I’ll provide them anything that they need, and I will try to provide toys also for them to have fun. I also have a cat at home but she doesn’t mind being around other pets like cats and dogs.
About: My experience based on taking care of pets has been as a personal pet owner and supporting family and friends taking care of their loving pets, either at their home, or, me hosting them at my place. I have always loved pets, my heart is always big and generous when it comes to taking care of them. Each pet fills our our homes and hearts with a very special kind of love. It is a pleasure for me to take care of them, as our pets take care of us. Open schedule, feel free to reach out, to set up date/time Flexible and always open to make things work out. Holidays available , if requested in advanced. If service is required hosting your pet, my place offers indoor care, it will be in a home apartment, 1st floor no risk of pet going outside without being supervised. For both services hosting or at pet owner home, I will required a list of safety instructions, routine or medical care (if applicable) to provide the same care as the owner.
About: I have over 13 years of animal caring experience being a pet owner/foster, as well as sitting for family, friends and clients. I've worked with rescues for over 6 years and it's been an honor dedicating my time and efforts to ensure every pet has somewhere to call home. It's always a privilege to take care of our four legged family members and their different fun personalities. I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for playtime and daily activities. I am available 7 days a week to care for your fur-baby. Rest assured when you leave your loved one in my care they will be treated like family. I am available 7 days a week as well as on holidays. I accept same day bookings. My hours of availability are between 6am and 10pm. I have a fenced yard and easy access to outside to provide plenty of physical activity as well as frequent potty breaks. I also have cats inside the home.
About: Hiiiii! I’m Taylor — a lifelong dog and cat mom with a true passion for giving pets the individualized care they deserve. I’ve had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and for the past decade of adulthood I’ve always owned at least one of each. I’m extremely comfortable with all ages, personalities, and care needs. I have extensive experience with senior and medically fragile pets. I cared for my senior cat (Mariah Kitty like Mariah Carey) with stage 4 kidney disease for 6 months, administering fluids, medications, and daily monitoring until she passed. Because of that experience, I’m very confident with special instructions, routines, and gentle medical care. I currently care for two purebred pets with specific needs — a corgi with early-onset arthritis and a Persian cat who requires regular eye cleaning, coat upkeep, and hygiene care (you know what I mean by hygiene care if you have a long haired pet..). This has taught me patience, detail-oriented care, and how to keep pets calm and comfortable even when tasks aren’t their favorite. Whether your pet needs slow walks, daily medication, extra brushing, enrichment, or just someone loving and reliable to hang out with them, I’d love love LOVE to help. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone, and I treat every animal I watch like one of my own. I was recently laid off so other than trips to go visit my family out of state and job searching, I am available to care for pets morning to evening! I can wake up early and stay up late if your family needs it. I provide care in your home only, so your pets can stay in their familiar environment and routine. I always adapt to whatever schedule, rules, and preferences your pet is used to — meals, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, crate time, bedtime routines, and anything else you need. For house sitting: I maintain your pet’s normal daily rhythm and keep your home clean, safe, and secure. I give plenty of companionship, enrichment, and calm presence, especially for pets with anxiety or special needs. They can feel when our energy is off you know? For drop-in visits: I make sure your pet gets bathroom breaks, fresh food and water, medication if needed, and lots of attention. I also handle small things like litter scooping, brushing, basic cleaning, and photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I promise I will send you the BEST content while you're missing them! For dog walking: I tailor the walk to your dog’s age, speed, and mobility — whether they need a slow stroll, a structured walk, or a little extra exercise. Safety is always the priority, and I keep your dog on-leash unless you specify otherwise. My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind.
“Elaine was fantastic with our kitties! She sent multiple photos and videos which was nice to see while away! She also gave us updates on their litter and food and gave them lots of treats! Not to mention she played with them too so they got lots of attention! Will definitely be using Elaine again ❤️”

“Perla is the best. It’s hard to leave my fur babies when I travel but knowing I have someone that takes such good care of them, makes me feel less guilty about leaving them.”

About: I volunteered at the Petco adoption center every Saturday from noon to 3 p.m., where I ensured the puppies were properly cared for, clean, and well-nourished. My responsibilities included maintaining food and water supplies, supervising walks in a safe, controlled environment, and facilitating positive interactions between potential adopters and the puppies to help encourage successful placements. I work full-time as a school-based Behavioral Therapist and am at my client’s school from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Because of this, I am available anytime after 3–4 p.m. I can take in pets until 8 p.m., and if a later time is needed, I’m open to working out a schedule. When I go to a client’s home for dog walking, I focus on keeping pets safe and comfortable while sticking to their normal routine. I make sure leashes and harnesses are secure, double-check doors and gates, and stay aware of my surroundings during walks. I follow any instructions the owner leaves, including preferred routes, feeding times, and special needs.
About: Though I do not have as much reviews as the other rovers on this app, I did want to give a bit of my background to whoever is curious about choosing me. I am a former student that attended Humboldt State University, and graduated during the year 2020 with my bachelors of science degree in zoology. During that same year, I made a quick decision to join a veterinarian assistant program because I knew if I wanted to be a part of the veterinarian field, I needed to have experience with handling animals. And the funny thing is the only experience I had at that moment was dealing with my boyfriend’s animals, small rodents, and occasionally volunteering at thr shelter where I was attending college. So I will tell you, I was not experienced in 2020. But this veterinarian assistant program did have 200 hours of interning that was mandatory. And during that mandatory internship at the site that I was interning, they gave me my first job working with animals. So currently I have been working at camp formerly known as SNPLA in San Pedro. I have been working here for a year and a half. But wait, there’s more! During the year 2022 I thought working with camp wasn’t enough. Small animal medicine is fun, but I always wanted to work alongside wild animals. So I decided to do another internship. This internship was done at the Marine mammal Center, in San Pedro which is a rehabilitation facility for seals and sea lions. I will definitely say this internship open my eyes to the possibilities of veterinarian medicine. Now that I’m done giving you a small background of my animal experience, I would say that I am more confident with handling animals than I was in 2020 but I am nowhere near proficient because I am actively still learning. Every animal is different and some take more time to warm up to you than others. As I said, I may not have as many reviews, but I’m working on becoming the best caretaker that I can be to animals. Also, my current goal is applying to vet school because I’ve always wanted to become a veterinarian. I love learning about animals and I know that I was put on this earth to help the animals that are in need. So if you want me to take care of your fur baby, please don’t be shy and message me. Thank You! I currently work as relief technician due to having a baby. So my availability is very flexible. I prefer overnight work so I can still have a daytime to be with my child. So all housesitting will be night time if you’re OK with that. For daycare at my place the time doesn’t matte. I do have a fenced yard that your pet can wander around and I do have an outdoor cat enclosure. there are other pets in the house. One German Shepherd, and four cats. Two of the cats are mine and the other two are my mother-in-law‘s. My mother-in-law‘s cat stay in their own space and I can’t stay in there. The dog has free access to water around the house and out in the backyard. Other than the animals there is a child and if your pet is friendly.
“Heather was the best! She was very thorough, reliable, and considerate with my cats. I will be looking to her for help the next time I'm out of town. Thanks again for all your help!”

About: I have taken care about pets since I was six years old I had cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, fishes. I know what they need at the moment and I know they are like kids need to be cared I work in study from home. You can drop off/pick up pets from 9am till 9pm. My house is very friendly and open hearted 💞 I have a fenced large backyard and a lot of space at home to keep your pet in a safety and good feeling every minute
“Have been using him for dog sitting for months now and have now also had him drop in to say hi to our bird and cat. Always very pleased with his care! My dog is older and has special needs, in addition to pretty bad separation anxiety. My dog doesn't put up much of a fuss going to his house, which is a testament to how much he likes Armando, his wife, and Buddah! He was also very accomodating with the drop in visit- we had set up the TV to play while we were gone and it messed up, but he was willing to follow the instructions we sent to fix it so that the animals can have entertainment again! Very thankful to have found such a caring and quality sitter.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs ever since I was a kid. I’ve had my family dog that I mainly took care of growing up and one of my own now that I’ve had for the last 6 years, if you hire me your satisfaction is guaranteed! I currently work part time at a gym with pretty flexible scheduling so I have plenty of time to check in on your pup when needed. I have my own house with a big front yard and a big fenced back yard for dogs to run around as much as they want.

Wilmington cat parents share their Rover experiences
Amy is a great choice for your next sitter! Our usual sitter fell through, so I joined Rover at the last minute before I had to leave on a trip. Amy was super accommodating, and was able to come over and get everything sorted out the next day! I needed to extend my trip halfway through and Amy was able to help out for those additional days as well. Her flexibility and understanding was so helpful. In terms of pet care, she did a great job interacting with my two kitties. She was easy to communicate with, and followed my suggestions to help coax out my shy boy so he could get some love! I’ll definitely be rebooking with her in the future.

Roselyn did a great job taking care of my kitten. She followed all instructions well and provided detailed check in notes with pictures. My kitten really likes her as he played with her during both check ins. She also played with him and made sure he had enough food and water before leaving.

The best sitter ever!! Took great care of our two cats and our home. We are new to the neighborhood and this was our first time away for an extended period. Vasiliki went above and beyond to keep our kitties comfortable. She even cleaned up after them when they left a hairball or tracked litter. She sent us cute pics every visit and spent time snuggling and playing with our cats. My shy one even warmed up to her by the end of the trip. Would recommend to anyone! 😻

Liana was a wonderful cat sitter! She stopped by every day to check on our cat, made sure she was well-fed and happy, and gave her plenty of attention. We came home to a calm and content cat. Always a great sign. Reliable, communicative, and caring. Highly recommend!

My cats immediately loved Olu. While they like company, there’s been very few people they want to run up to and give kisses and cuddles. I knew my cats had an excellent guardian, which made my trip even more relaxing. I loved getting kitty updates. I had a great time visiting with Olu and going over everything. She’s very thorough and caring and she does reiki on people and pets! One of my cats came from a very traumatic start in life. He’s let go of a lot of it but the reiki was such a benefit to both of them, especially him. I can see a big reduction in him bullying my other cat. They both seem more relaxed and happy after their sessions. Thank you for everything!

Hannah was amazing with my kitty cat, George! I had to take a last minute trip and after meeting her, I was reassured George would be in great hands. She was very attentive, communicative, and responsive. Sent so many adorable pictures. Provided playtime and cuddles. Gave much appreciated real-time updates. Will be my go-to babysitter!
