Monica is fabulous. My cat is so shy but she warmed up to Monica right away. It gives me great peace of mind when I travel to know that she’s in Monica’s capable care.

Morgan was absolutely phenomenal! We have some older cats who require medication and she was a pro! Will definitely be reaching out again the next time we leave town.

Katherine was great with my cat. She followed my instructions perfectly and there was evidence that Prudence got plenty of attention and playtime. The daily photos were a bonus, since I was thousands of miles away. Would use Katherine again and highly recommend her for her efficiency and compassion.

My baby loved her, which is really rare for him, he usually is afraid of new people, but he adored her right off the bat. She always kept me updated about the slightest sniffle, which I really appreciated. I’d trust her with my baby any day.

Had to leave Shadow for about a week, Lisa kept me updated with pictures as requested everyday. Her house is equipped with toys and cat towers and love for both cats and dogs. She’s a sitter a little out of the way for me but she’s totally worth it. Shadow had a great time.

Heidi was so wonderful to work with! She was great at communicating and while we were gone, our heater breaker flipped off and she quickly helped identify it and fix it. Our cat Pearl was well cared for while we were away and we would gladly book Heidi again!

About: Hello! My name is Sarah, but I go by Sam. Thank you so much for your consideration! Ever since I was a child, I’ve always loved having pets. There was hardly a time when I didn’t have some kind of companion in my life. Growing up, I had a variety of different pets, but most of my experience is with dogs, cats, birds, and rodents! However, I love all kinds of creatures (I’ve even had tarantulas)! These days, my boyfriend and I share an Aussie named Newman that we love to spoil. I currently work weekends bathing dogs, and I’m a former doggy daycare attendant and dog groomer, so I have plenty of experience handling pets of varying energy levels and temperaments. I also have some experience with pets that have special needs. This is my main source of income, but I do work part time (Fridays and Saturdays) as a dog bather, so please keep in mind that I will be gone for a period of time (7am-4pm) on those days. Otherwise, on my days off, I am watching them FULL TIME! It’s something I enjoy doing, and I’ve found that I get the most joy out of spending time taking care of client’s pets. Some day I do hope to go to school for something animal behavior or social service related, but I’m still trying to figure that out! I’m very understanding and adaptable to whatever schedule you’ve got set for your pets, so that they still have the sense of security that comes from having a routine! During house sittings, I ALWAYS offer overnight care to ensure your pets have someone to spend time with them around the clock. I always keep a close eye when at home with pets to ensure nothing goes awry, and I always make sure they are safely secured if they need to be left alone for a period of time. Water is always made available unless otherwise specified. I love to spoil pets with treats when I can but I’m very good at following instructions if they have a strict diet, physical limitations, medications, etc.

Troy was awesome with Asher!! Left very detailed feedback, and got him some much needed exercise during the day while I'm gone. Asher was very tired after, which is the goal! I have no complaints and would recommend to anyone looking to supplement some socialization and exercise for their pets.

About: Ive dog sit for friends and family at their home. Taking care of them in their own personal environment. Clients home care would to be following their rules/routines for their pet. Rather that be a walk or playing with their toys, feeding schedule..etc. ive sat older dogs, younger dogs and even taken a blind pup out for a day from the shelter! I work a full time job but i am able to leave once or twice during my shift to take care of the animals in your home! I will stop by and let them outside and play with them for a bit during my shift. I would stop by before my shift and immediately after, i always make sure they have enough time to play and go to the bathroom before i leave. I have dogs at home that arent dog friendly so i do have experience with reactive dogs! I cant keep other pets in my own home while you are not home but i am more than happy to hangout at your home and care for them!

Rachel did a great job taking care of Remy and spoiling him while we were away. Our pup is very timid and he did great with her. She also hauled in quite a few packages that arrived earlier than expected before they could get soaked with snow!

About: Im Tina,53, I have raised 5 dogs and trained them well. Everyone who knows me calls me the dog whisperer. I am patient, calm and respectful with all animals. All animals need love and attention and kindness.. I currently have plenty of time to spend showing love and attention to your fur babies. Every morning I’m up bright and early walking my fur baby. I can see how much she enjoys it. and wouldn’t miss it for the world.. after that, I have time to spend giving love and attention to other fur babies. I have a sweet young Labrador, a large fenced yard and can crate your dog if you prefer me to do that.i love to walk with dogs. Play games with them do mental stimulation with dogs which they need daily.

Dawn is outstanding! We were nervous to let someone into our home to check on our two kitties each day during our two-week vacation. Dawn made the entire process easy and comforting from beginning to end. After the meet and great, we knew our kitties were in good hands. She provided detailed and personalized updates each day and sent photos. While our cats are typically apprehensive of strangers, Dawn took the time to develop a connection with both of them, adjusting food requirements, brushing and playing with them. She even watered the house plants for us. We never worried for a minute while away. We feel very fortunate to have found Dawn and will certainly recommend her to our family and friends, Thank you, Dawn!!

Lucia was the best pet sitter for our kitty cat Sai. She went above and beyond and picked him up and dropped him off. She sent pics often and I was able to relax knowing he was in great hands. Lucia also just has a kind and friendly personality. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs. I am very happy with our experience.

Ashly was so kind & caring towards our elderly kitties while we were away. She stopped in twice a day to visit and give medications - they were definitely spoiled by the special attention! She let me know when one wasn’t acting normally and checked in an extra visit just to make sure all was well. Can’t wait to have her care for them again. 💕

Lisa is a wonderful cat sitter! She goes above and beyond when visiting my cat: she brings treats and toys to keep my cat entertained during the visit. Extremely flexible with booking which has helped me out more than once when traveling on short notice or the duration of travel changed. Both my cat and I are huge fans!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Kassy. I went out of town for the holidays and had someone lined up, but unfortunately they weren’t able to pull through last minute. I reached out to a couple of people, and Kassy responded quickly and confirmed her availability right away. From the start, I got a great vibe from her. She was kind, professional, and very personable. She immediately took a huge weight off my shoulders. I really appreciated how respectful she was in my home; she always asked before looking for anything and made sure she was doing things the way I was comfortable with. That meant a lot to me, especially since I’m not someone who easily lets just anyone into my space. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire visit. I loved the updates and photos. They gave me real peace of mind while I was away. This was also my first time using Rover, and I genuinely feel like I got lucky finding her. I trusted her completely and felt very comfortable knowing my little guy was in good hands. I highly recommend Kassy and will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future.

I can’t say enough good things about Jenea. I had a health emergency and was admitted to the hospital. I contacted her very short notice and she stepped right in to help me out with my kitty. Not only did she take care of my kitty while I was in the hospital, she brought my trash can in from the curb and brought my mail in. She was a godsend in my time of need. I highly recommend her to take care of your fur baby!
