Aimee was wonderful, I will be definitely be asking her to visit with my kitty again! She was able to convince my extremely shy cat to come out from under the bed on her very first visit, and it was clear from all the updates during my lengthy trip that my cat adored her. She always shared great updates and pics, and she closely followed all of my quirky instructions about feedings. Highly recommend!

Ashna is a great pet caregiver and they seem to take to her very well! She watched my dog for a weekend when my girlfriend and I were out of town and by the time we were back it was like she didn't want to come home! She sent plenty of updates and pictures to keep our minds at ease while we were able to enjoy our vacation. Our dog must've got plenty of exercise because she slept for a while after she got back, which was perfect for our post vacation blues!

Tony was an incredible cat sitter for my boy Frank while I was out of town. He took detailed and meticulous notes, sent several pictures every day showing Frank having a great time, and I also learned a tremendous amount from him! As a first time Rover user, he put me at ease: I knew Frank was in great hands. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants the best for their critter while they are out of town!

Tara was so so wonderful with my cats! Both of them have separation anxiety and it was their first time with a sitter. I came home to them playing and doing their normal activities with no anxiety. Tara even got my shyest one to come out of her shell.

During my two-week trip, I entrusted Lucy to care for my two cats, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Lucy was incredibly attentive, consistently arriving at my apartment right on time to feed, clean up, and play with my furry companions. She even made sure to turn on the air conditioning as per my request, ensuring a cozy environment for them. Communication was seamless, with Lucy regularly sending me updates and plenty of photos, which kept me reassured and connected to my pets. It was truly a delightful experience, and I'm immensely grateful for her dedication and care!

Shannon did an AMAZING job helping us when we needed a last minute drop in visit. She took such good care of our pup, providing lots of play, cuddles, and not giving up when our front door was a pain to unlock and I was being terrible about checking my phone. Couldn't reccomend more!

Riley was so kind and communicative!! She helped out in a pinch (we needed help getting our dog dropped off and picked up from a vet appt several hours later), and she provided lots of very prompt updates and photos of our sweet girl. It’s clear that Riley took great care of Emmy (offering water when they were out, buckling her into a doggie seat-belt, etc.) Definitely recommend!

This was my second booking with Iryna. When I came back from my previous trip, I noticed my cat was a lot calmer and loving than coming back from trips with other sitters, so there was no doubt about using her services again. She has great communication and documents everything really well. I got daily pictures and video’s of Iryna playing with and caring for Yuki. She was also flexible to come back to us, with a last minute booking, both in location and time. I would absolutely use her services again and I absolutely recommend her for any other cat parents :) thanks Iryna for being there !

Imagine leaving your beloved cat with a sitter who transforms from a stranger to a trusted companion, all while you’re miles away. This isn’t just a wishful thought; it’s my reality with Stacy, the remarkable sitter for my cherished Einstein deCat. Stacy has ‘sat’ for Einstein a couple of times, and each experience has been warmly received by him. Before the pandemic, I traveled frequently, and Einstein was accustomed to my absence. What initially attracted me to Stacy was her commitment to spending a full 30 minutes each visit, not merely completing the basics. As I resumed extended travels, I knew Einstein needed someone to be that other ‘hooman’ in his space, and Stacy was the perfect fit. Her daily pictures and occasional videos weren’t just updates; they were windows into the growing bond between her and Einstein. I’ve seen him allow her to comb his fur, a privilege he doesn’t give to just anyone, and relax next to her on the couch, a testament to their mutual affection. This isn’t mere pet sitting; it’s creating a caring environment for Einstein in my absence. I am confident in Stacy’s ability to manage any cat crisis. Should the need arise, I trust her to communicate effectively with me and any vet care providers, ensuring continuity and care tailored to any new circumstances. In a world where genuine care and trust are rare gems, finding Stacy has been a blessing. She doesn’t just watch over Einstein; she provides peace of mind, a happy cat to return to, and the freedom for me to enjoy my travels. Stacy isn’t just a cat sitter; she’s a guardian angel for both me and Einstein deCat.

About: Hi! My husband, Chris, and I would love to take care of your precious pets! I have spent my whole life around animals and have had my own pets at home for the past 20 years. If you leave your pets with us, you can rest assured that they'll be happy and well cared for while you're away. I have extensive experience with many breeds, sizes, and ages of dogs and cats. I have always trained my own pets and they are well-behaved. We love going on nice walks with dogs, or taking them to a park if your pet prefers it. Your pet will get as much exercise as they want while they're in our care! We foster and volunteer often for several animal rescues in the area, and have extensive experience with newborns, puppies, seniors, reactive, and high-maintenance pets. We are both very comfortable administering all types of medications. My husband and I are both on sabbatical, so we are available 24/7 for your pets! Whether in our home or yours, we will be with your pets without any work-related distractions. Our house has a fully fenced good size yard in a quiet neighborhood. While with us, your dog will get to go outside as often as they like, and will get daily walks also! We have tons of dog toys inside to play with when not in the yard.
