Erin was such a reliable and attentive cat sitter! I was relieved to see her details and specifics of the boys behavior with drop in visit notes. It helped me know my boys were in great hands. Thank you again Erin!!!!

Teresa was excellent with my large, often anxious, cat Sherlock. Upon my return I found a happy Sherlock with none of the usual stress symptoms. Teresa also communicated frequently and sent photos of all the snuggles and other antics Sherlock got up to each day. It was great to see my cat happy while I was away!

Holland was great! My cat seemed happy us usual when I got back from my trip, and Holland was great about sending me pictures and videos. She came when she said she would and she sent me videos of how she played with him to assure he was getting his energy out! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will definitely look to use her again!

About: Call me Libby :) Dogs are my absolute passion in life! I was raised in a home with dogs and I’ve been a personal pet owner for over 10 years. I have experience raising and fostering puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I’ve had dogs in hospice care, with special needs, medical issues, etc. I have basic training skills and there are no stairs in my home in case your dog can’t use them. I have a large fenced in yard for play time or sunbathing in a safe and quiet neighborhood. They will be treated as if they are my own and loved on for every minute they are in my care! I run my own business so my work hours are flexible. I never leave the home for more than 4-5 hours at the absolute maximum. My 2 dogs and I go on evening walks everyday (after it’s cooled off in the summer time) and lots of outdoor time in between. My life revolves around my dogs needs so yours will fit in perfectly! I have a large fenced in yard and crates of different sizes if you need or want them to be crated. I have two friendly dogs so your baby will never be alone. My youngest dog will be a loving companion to your pet and make sure they feel like they’re at home. Whether that’s playing or napping, he will fall in love with them instantly!

Kay was a wonderful sitter for my three cats for my last minute trip out of town. The photos and notes she left in her reports made it obvious she was paying attention to each of their very different personalities and preferences and that even my very human-selective older cat was comfortable with her. If she is available, I will absolutely hire her again.

Nick’s care and communication have been absolutely phenomenal, and I truly appreciated it. I could tell Sebastian felt well loved and cared for through the pictures that he sent during my time away! This was my first time using Rover, and I'm sold. I'll definitely keep Nick in mind as I travel frequently, and we've had some family shifts so care is not always as readily available.

About: Hi! I’m Cheyenne, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on professional experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I previously worked at a kennel-free dog boarding facility, where I helped care for multiple dogs at once in a safe, supervised environment. I’ve also worked as a full-time dog walker and pet sitter, providing daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medication administration, and lots of attention and playtime. Animals have always been part of my life—I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and currently care for my own pets as well. Because of my background in both professional animal care and customer service, I understand how important communication and trust are when someone else is caring for your pet. What you can expect when your pet is with me: • Reliable, on-time care • Regular photo and text updates • Safe handling for dogs with different temperaments • Experience with multi-dog households • Lots of attention, enrichment, and play Whether your dog needs a walk while you’re at work, drop-in visits while you’re away, or extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! I work a hybrid office jobs with very flexible hours. When I do go into the office, my office is dog friendly so I can bring a furry friend along if they enjoy the socialization! I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and any specific routines your pet is used to. During visits, I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and enrichment they need, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or just companionship. I also make sure basics like fresh water, clean feeding areas, and litter boxes are taken care of. For dog walks, I focus on safe handling, appropriate exercise for your dog’s energy level, and making sure they return home happy and settled. I always send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while keeping you informed and at ease.

Fergus (our cat) loves Virginia. He never purrs for anyone the way he purrs for her. When we got home today after being away for several days, my husband heard Fergus meowing through the door before we entered and said to me, "I pretty sure he's meowing 'Virginia! Virginia!' He's going to be so disappointed that it's us!" Virginia is great with Fergus, very kind to us, and has been just a perfect pet sitter.

Danyelle is AMAZING!!! Took such great care of my boys over a holiday. Gave me daily updates and even put up with some of their eating "quirks", which isn't always easy. But she was super patient with them and gave them all the love they needed while I was gone. I was so super happy and relaxed to know they were in such great and caring hands. Heck, even just the trek to my trash can for litter box cleaning was an extra effort in and it's self. Can't recommend Danyelle enough!

Peyton fed our cat every night for four nights while we were away on vacation. Our cat is typically very shy and will hide when there are strangers around, but she trusted Peyton! We were sent photos of her every night with updates on how she was doing. I will definitely be booking her services again in the future!

We asked Grace to check in on our crazy orange cat a few times while we were out of town pretty last-minute, and she exceeded all expectations! She sent lots of pictures and gave great summaries each time she visited. Our cat hates to be alone for too long, and it was such a relief to know that Grace was giving her some much-needed love and attention! We'd definitely use Grace's services again in the future.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Theresa. A friend recommended her to me, and she watched my cat over a long weekend. Right from the initial meet-and-greet, I knew she was the perfect fit, she immediately got down on the floor to meet my cat on her level, which meant so much. While we were gone, her attention to cleanliness and detail was great. She cleaned the water bowls and soft food dishes daily and handled the litter box exactly as instructed. I absolutely loved the tons of photo updates she sent, you could see how safe and comfortable my cat felt around her. On top of everything, she was incredibly accommodating with a last-minute request. I am so grateful for her care and will definitely be booking her again!
