Linzi was amazing with my cats--I'm so glad I found her. She sent the greatest updates and photos and clearly cared about the cats. I looked forward to them every day I was away. Linzi also did an initial visit just to get the lay of everything in the house and meet the cats, which was helpful. She was just incredibly attentive and caring and I can't imagine a better pet sitter <3

Melissa did some drop ins on our cats over Christmas week and it was a huge relief knowing we didn’t have to worry about them while we were gone. She cleaned the litter boxes, fed both of them, and gave one their daily medication. I would definitely book her again! Thank you Melissa!

Liz is the best! She took phenomenal care of my two little ragamuffins while I was abroad for two weeks. She sent the funniest pictures and videos of them, played with them, and made me feel so much better about not being home with them. She's truly the best pet sitter I've ever had. I know I can fully trust her to take as great care of them as I do. :)

This was our first time using Rover for our 4-month-old kittens, and Alexandra was absolutely perfect for the job! She was thoughtful, attentive, caring, and communicative during her check-in visits over the weekend. We loved receiving photo and video updates, which reassured us that our babies were being loved, played with, and kept on their routine while we were away. We’re so grateful to have her nearby for future trips!!

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a kid. Though I cannot afford my own dog right now, I am always looking to hang out with dogs any chance I can get! My roommate has a Bernese Mountain Dog who is the most mellow, sweetest pup ever (she is 8 months old). I assist in feeding her, walking her, playing with her, and just keeping her company as my roommates schedule is more demanding than mine. I love going for long walks, (or runs), playing fetch, and just keeping dogs company. I think I am a great candidate due to my experience with animals and my love for them. I am excited for the day that I can provide a home to my own dog!

About: I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs through dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting. Throughout high school and college, I regularly cared for dogs for friends, neighbors, and local families. My responsibilities included daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications when needed, and following each dog’s routine. I have also hosted dogs in my home for extended stays lasting several weeks at a time. I love spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always strive to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I recently graduated from college and currently have a flexible schedule while I search for full-time opportunities. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and weekend care. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, and I will make sure they receive lots of care, attention, and companionship while you’re away. I know every pet has different needs, so I always follow the owner’s instructions and try to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or my own, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. My goal is to treat every pet like family and give owners peace of mind while they’re away.

About: My partner (Henry) and I love to watch dogs together! We have been surrounded by dogs our whole lives, from small picky eaters to large dogs that can run for miles. Growing up around dogs, we know that they are all different and respond to new people differently, but we have had positive experiences in taking care of family’s, neighbors’, and friends’ dogs in the past and have a ton of energy to do so. We love spending time outside and with dogs and have dog-sat before, including experiences wherein we did not stay in the owners’ home, but visited frequently to walk and feed their dog, and we have dog sat in our own home, so we are comfortable with adapting our services to any of your needs. We both have hybrid work situations, so one of us is always working from home at any given time and are used to being flexible with a pet’s schedule. We take care of pets like they are our own, in the past when we have boarded dogs in our home we have adapted to what the pet is and is not allowed to do (ie sleeping in the bedroom or not etc.)

About: Simply put, I cherish dogs. They're pure-hearted creatures who deserve all the love and care in the world. I grew up with dogs (Gold Retriever, Shih Tzu's and Beagle) for majority of my life so I'm adept, cautious and careful when they're under my care. In one of my profile pictures, which was taken many years ago when I was younger, you’ll see me with my Shih Tzu. I care deeply. I've walked and watched over a wide range of different breeds. Whether it's walking, house sitting or engaging with them in a fun & social setting. I believe I possess a strong mindset that enables my ability to care for these animals. I take this type of job very seriously because of the responsibility at hand. Dogs are such loving animals who look at their owner as their whole entire world. It's extremely satisfying to know the difference one individual can make. I truly cherish that.

Jing is incredibly responsible and genuinely goes above and beyond. It is so hard to find someone who truly understands cats, but she is a natural. She took care of all the essentials perfectly, including keeping a close eye on the automated litter box to ensure it was running smoothly. What really set her apart was the extra care she gave—she took the time to properly groom him and made sure he got plenty of active playtime. To top it all off, her post-visit updates were fantastic; she left highly detailed descriptions after every single visit, which gave me total peace of mind. I trust her completely and cannot recommend her enough!

I was away for a little over two weeks, and Lolo took wonderful care of my cat, Murphy. She sent me lots of pictures that clearly showed how happy and content he was, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Lolo also kept me informed about any shedding or minor issues like hairballs or throw-up, and regularly checked in about his overall health and wellness. Her communication and attentiveness were incredibly appreciated, especially during such a long trip. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Murphy.
