She is reliable and communicative! She will work with you, she was extremely kind when one of my cats passed right before the booking. My remaining cat, Gary, is so happy when she comes and spends time with him!

So thankful I found Brittany on Rover! Our senior cat can be a little bit of a diva, but from the initial meeting she was ok with Brittany. Received daily updates and photos that made us feel she was in good hands while gone- especially since our cat requires daily medication. We have already rebooked her!

Brandi visited my home several times over a ten-day period to care for my (needy) Ragdoll cat. She met all of my expectations and then some. Great communication plus a caring and compassionate attitude. I will seek her services in the future.

This was our first experience with our 1-year-old cat named Stan being away from us. Teresa was amazing at communicating and also would send cute pictures of Stanley. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family who are looking for someone to watch their pet. When me and my fiance went to pick up our little dude he looked absolutely so comfortable outside relaxing in the beautiful weather and looked like he was part of the family. If we ever tend to leave even for a small vacation I would definitely 100% see if Teresa was available to watch our baby. We can't thank you enough Teresa people know how stressful it is to leave their fur babies anywhere but you made this experience so easy and comforting. Rover is lucky to have you respenting them.

Samantha did a great job caring for our dog while out of town for a night! She took him on walks and played with him in the yard. It was raining and she took the time to dry off the dog before letting him back inside the house which was much appreciated!

Amanda was an incredible help while I was away taking such great care of my cats! She went above and beyond, not only making sure they were well cared for but also leaving my home even cleaner than when she arrived. Her daily updates were so thoughtful and reassuring, giving me total peace of mind. Plus, she has such a great vibe—I feel like we’d get along so well in everyday life! Thank you so much, Amanda!

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, and have a passion when it comes to working with animals. Growing up, I have always had dogs and cats, and have also worked with horses and goats. I am extremely comfortable with all animals and have some experience looking after reptiles as well. I have worked at a vet clinic for the past 4 years and feel the knowledge and experience I gained there aids me in my ability to care for pets with their best interests in mind. I can administor oral and injection medications, perform animal first aid/cpr, recognize unusual behaviors/acute illness, care for elderly pets, medically dependant/complex pets, and also am able to work with behavioral pets who may struggle to connect with new people and/or are reactive to other animals. I pride myself on my ability to understand the individual personalities of each pet, and their specific wants/needs. I love working with animals and connecting with new pets and their families! I am extremely active and can keep up with your high energy pets! I also pride myself on staying in contact with families and sending lots of updates and pictures during walks/drop ins. I am currently working as an early childhood educator, and would love to build on my flexible schedule with pet sitting and drop ins! I am available afternoons and evenings, as well as the occasional early mornings. I am observant when it comes to caring for pets in a home. I get down and play with them, offer lots of love and pets, and I can follow instructions/guidelines for your pet in your home.

Jennifer was excellent! She came to my apartment as described and dropped-in on my cat while I was away. She sent pictures during each visit and was responsive to text messages when something changed. I would definitely recommend her.

About: I've taken care of pets for over 10 years. Family and friends have trusted me to care for them when they're not around, including feeding, exercising, walks, staying over, etc. I'm currently working full time, but I have set hours and off nights and weekends to be able to visit and spend quality time with your pet!

My goal is to spend quality time with your pet and bring some brightness to their day.

Ezra did an excellent job with Bug, including using the pill popper to give her meds. I really enjoyed how professional and communicative Ezra was. They sent me photos and updates of Bug from each visit and even shared with me tips around what they found worked best for medicating her. Would definitely re-book and recommend!

About: I have had dogs since I was born. My family has always had a dog. For 18 years, I had my own dogs. I’ve also watched friends and family member’s dogs. I will go to their houses and let their dogs out for them, walk them, etc. I work part time at a local elementary school as a TA. I only work 5.5 hrs a day, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I have a fenced in yard and a 10 year old that would love to play with your dog if I’m not! I can put them in a crate if need be. I’d love to take them for a ride too! If I go to your house, I will respect your property and your dog’s things.

Taylor cared for our two cats as if they were her own. While we were away, we had complete peace of mind knowing they were in the hands of such a professional, attentive, and caring person. She sent us lovely daily photos, and our cats always looked curious, relaxed, and happy. We are truly grateful for her care—and we’re certain Oreo and Paco miss her already! We highly recommend her without hesitation.

About: I have always been around animals my whole life. I got my first dog at 11, and he’s still around and is the love of my life. I’m currently enrolled in college and only working part time, so I’m looking to see if I can help others out like how they’ve helped me. I will feed your pets, take them out or let them use the restroom, I will love and give them as much attention as possible.

About: With 15+ years of experience caring for animals of all kinds—from scales to tails—I’m an avid animal lover who truly connects with pets on a deeper level (sometimes more than with people!). I treat every fur baby as my own and make their comfort, safety, and happiness my top priority. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, scaly, fluffy, or anything in between, I’m here to give them personalized, reliable, and compassionate care. I’m happy to provide updates as often as you’d like, so you’ll always feel confident and connected while you’re away. I am a mom of four (human children) as well as three fur babies- a cat, dog, and bearded dragon. I work from home full-time Monday through Friday, and can be very flexible with whatever busy schedule you may have! I will be upfront and honest- I decided to create a rover account partly due to animals being something I am passionate about and have the experience to make you as fellow fur parents feel comfortable. I also am doing this so I can work a "part time" job to (slowly but surely) be able to afford to get a house with a yard- both for my human and animal children. I would love to have your pet's come to me, but due to me living in an apartment with just a small fenced patio, I will be coming to your homes and can make what works for your busy schedule work for me! Whatever questions or concerns you may have, I will do my best to ease any anxiety and make you feel safe and comfortable leaving your pet(s) in my care!

Jessica was amazing! My cats behaved and warmed up to her quickly, and I got great pictures from each visit. Communication was easy and responsive, and the only issue I had was on my side in terms of adding a code to the door for her. 5 stars, will definitely be my first choice next time! :)

This was my very first experience using a pet-sitting service. I chose Estefanny because of her very high ratings and she did not disappoint. My ancient kitty Larry doesn't do well staying by himself anymore. Estefanny not only assured that he had regular meals, water, and meds, but she also stayed with him at night so he wasn't lonely. Larry clearly loved her. She sent an update and photos every day, many of which showed him on her lap or in the spare bed, so he was obviously comfortable sleeping with her. To be honest, I expected her to be great with Larry. What I didn't expect was, after 5 nights sleeping at my house, I couldn't even tell she had been there. The place was exactly as I had left it - I swear she packed out her own garbage! Estefanny clearly cares for pets and is pleasant, reliable, and responsive. The highest recommendation I can give her is that I'm headed out of town again next month and I've already booked Estefanny to take care of Larry. The whole experience was just terrific!
