“Erica was great taking care of our cats. She provided timely communication and spent some time with them while we were away. We would definitely use her again!”
“Giada was truly amazing! She was our first Rover experience and it couldn’t have gone more smoothly! She was not only very kind and friendly, but she also kept us up-to-date with daily check-in updates and photos. We were able to enjoy our vacation fully knowing our cat was in good hands!”
“Leora was able to find our cat who was hiding and spent extra time trying to find her. She is amazing with our cat who is very anxious. Best sitter we have ever worked with .”
“We appreciated that she left such thorough updates every day during her stay with our cats, and really tried to engage with them - whether by toys, pets, or cat TV. It was also great peace of mind that she confirmed everything she did each visit. We have a cat who requires daily heart medication so we deeply appreciated knowing that he was given his pill while we were gone!”
“Emily is amazing! I always feel so comfortable leaving my fur baby with her when we go out of town. Our kitty gets lonely when we are gone and Emily is sure to give her lots of love, pets, play time, and treats❤️”
“Jennifer was amazing! She was very professional and maintained excellent communication throughout the entire time (about 2 weeks). We had a walkthrough about 3 months before our trip and she reached out to do a refresher run through shortly before we left to make sure she didn't miss anything, which was greatly appreciated. She left thorough notes after each visit. My kitties are generally pretty shy when it comes to new people but they warmed up to her very quickly! Would definitely have Jennifer care for my babies again!”
“I used Rover for the first time to have Brianna stop by and see my new cat while we were gone for the weekend. We were definitely nervous about leaving our cat alone overnight, but Brianna was great! She spent time getting to know our cat beforehand, played with her when she was here, and gave us great updates and photos. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brianna and hopefully will get to work with her again!”
“Maria took excellent care of my kittens while I was away for the weekend. She dropped in twice a day and looked after them. Will book again! Thank you!”
“Anna was excellent, she went above and beyond to care for my kitties Moxie and Copper. Even though Moxie is skittish around people Anna searched for her on every visit and won her trust by the second day. Anna's communication was fantastic, with multiple photos and plenty of details in each report. I highly recommend Anna to care for your pets, she's the best!”
“Abby followed all the complicated instructions perfectly and really put me at ease while I was gone. I didn't have to worry at all about my kitties while they were in her care. She sent detailed notes after each visit along with a bunch of cute pictures. I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone 🥰”
“Jessica was so great! She played with my cat and fed her and cleaned her litter box and even brought the mail in. I am so grateful that she was able to come by and she communicated with me when necessary. My cat definitely enjoyed the playtime since i was gone. I can't thank her enough!”
“Daniel was great with our cat, Alaska! He visited her six times while we were out of town and was so sweet and patient with her. He kept us updated after every visit, which made us feel really at ease while we were away. Would definitely recommend him and will absolutely book with him again!”
“Yamile is very nice and soft spoken. She took good care of my cat and was very prompt to respond to texts.”
“Jason took wonderful care of my cats while I was away! He kept in contact, took great pictures, and left the house just the way he found it (if not cleaner!). I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Yuliia did an awesome job checking in on my two cats. Very thorough with plenty of pictures and the cats loved the extra attention and play time. Definitely recommend Yuliia!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life and caring for them is a passion of mine. I have experience with dogs of many breeds and sizes, reactive dogs, cats, and medication administration. I understand and appreciate that every animal is different and am more than happy to accommodate to their unique needs. With a chronically-ill cat of my own, I understand that being away from your pets can be stressful, and I hope to provide the same peace of mind that Rover sitters have given me. I am nearing the end of physician assistant school and will have a good amount of free time while awaiting licensure and full-time employment. My current schedule is somewhat flexible, so we should be able to make something work! When caring for a pet in their own home, I fully accommodate to their normal routine. I am happy to meet beforehand to discuss the ins and outs of your pet's individual needs.
About: I have always had at least one pet in my life - usually dogs. Right now, I have two dogs of my own. I have had two puppies (at different times) and know the time and routine it takes for potty training. I have had a cat before as well and understand and know how Neto take care of them. I am currently a SAHM and excited to have time to do pet care. I love animals and happy to care for them and/or walk them. I have two dogs of my own and we have a fun and active life. We walk, play in our yard and have fun. We also snuggle and nap!
“Would highly recommend Andrea. She stayed overnight at my apartment with my 2 cats for 12 days. She gave them wet food twice a day with medicine and wasn't bothered when they woke her up at 5:30am. Would definitely use again!”
About: I grew up with animals starting out with hamsters and guinea pigs. Currently have a small Bichon Frise dog who always needs love and attention. I love going on walks, especially with a companion:) I am currently a college student and attend classes Monday through Thursday so my availability is mainly weekends other than when I am on breaks. For my own dog I always make sure she has food and water at all times. Letting her outside whenever she wants in order to get some fresh air and then going on walks with her twice a day is part of our routine. She is not one to play, but still loves being silly and having the zoomies. In those energetic moments I always join her. Then at the end of the day everyone deserves a treat and so does she:)
About: I am very experienced in dog sitting ( walking, carrying, playing, feeding) taking care of any kind of pets. As they are big part of my life since childhood. Dog sitting is already my daily routine, because I have a dog for 6 years and still enjoying every single moment I spend with him. I can walk your dog, play with them, accompany them, so they won’t feel lonely when you are away. I will do my best to be a trusted person.
