“Frances is amazing! Having her pet-sit for us was like having a very informed, professional, family member take care of our cat. She reached out before we left to familiarize herself with Elssie's schedule and sent plenty of photos to keep us updated. My husband and I felt like we could trust her fully, and we hope that she'll be available the next time we need someone to pet-sit!”
“This was my first experience using a pet-sitter and Rina (Katarina) was awesome! She was so kind, flexible, and accommodating. She was very accessible, responding to any inquiry within minutes, if not within the hour. And she kept me updated with daily messages and pictures of my baby Loki which helped put my mind at ease. She has a heart for animals (cats in particular) and her warm acceptance of my Loki was evident in how relaxed and comfortable he appeared in his pictures. I was able to enjoy my trip confident that my baby Loki had been left in good hands. Rina, I can't thank you and your family enough for your hospitality towards my Loki, and going forward, should I or anyone I know ever need a pet-sitter, I'll b sure to tell them to look no further than you! You're the best-est! 💛”
“We were so thrilled with Megan’s care for our cat. Our cat is elderly with a lot of needs and she tended to all of them. Megan was so professional, friendly and understanding of our special requests for our cat. We can’t wait to have Megan’s help again in the future.”
About: I have been passionate about caring for animals from a young age, often taking in and helping stray cats whenever possible. I have an 8 year old Rat Terrier who is in excellent health. I manage his daily feeding, regular walks, grooming, and give him vet checks when needed. I have two cats that I rescued as strays, providing them with a safe and stable home. I also care for a bearded dragon, including maintaining her habitat and breeding Dubia roaches to ensure she has a consistent, nutritious food source along with her vegetables. Through these experiences I feel that I have developed strong skills in animal care and responsibility. I have an extremely flexible schedule as I do not have a full-time job and am trying to make pet sitting my main focus. Because of this, I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine pretty easily and can be flexible with different schedules and routines. I’m usually available throughout the day and have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, walks, playtime, and care they need. I live in a pet friendly apartment with my own dog and cats, and I’m able to safely walk and care for pets without issue. I like to keep my home calm and secure for my animals, with close attention to their comfort, daily routines and habits. I also have experience managing behaviors such as stress chewing, and I use solutions like crate training when appropriate to ensure both the pet’s safety and the condition of the home. If similar situations occur while caring for a client’s pet, I am confident in my ability to respond responsibly and maintain a safe, clean, and supportive environment at all times.
“Noleen is absolutely amazing! She goes above and beyond with my kitties, and I am always so glad to know they are in good hands when I am away! I highly recommend Noleen to anyone who needs their fur babies taken care of!”
“Jeanie made sure I was updated on our pups with each visit and sent photos/videos to help reassure me they were being loved on and played with at each visit. She was quick to respond to communications and in asking any questions to ensure she cared for Sophie and Duke well!”

About: I was raised with cats and dogs. I read a dog training book when I was in high school. I have always been mission-oriented, and today's mission is to ensure your pets are looked after and that you are confident they are safe and healthy. My schedule revolves around animals. If I'm not spending time with my dogs, then it's my mom's dogs. If it's not her dogs, then it's chickens. (Dogs are more fun, have you tried playing fetch with a chicken?) I will care for your pets with the same love and affection I provide to my own dogs, excluding any rough-housing since my dogs tend to play quite boisterously. I will diligently follow all instructions to the best of my abilities and will communicate promptly if I encounter any difficulties, seeking an alternative solution.
About: Little Angel's dog boarding specializes in small dogs. Hello my name is Jessica and I am a dog owner and lover.I decided to work with dogs because I really enjoy being around of them.Every time I go out of town and leave our dog I feel very worried about him. I start thinking about who is going to watch him and become very worried. So I started to think that I love dogs and would be the perfect person to watch someone else’s little angel.My house is 100 % fenced with a 6 foot fence, I have a nice sized backyard.I live in a nice neighborhood safe for taking walks.I also have some grooming training, I personally cut our dog's hair. My dog is a French Poodle so it requires some skill to groom him. I have never worked as a professional groomer. I did my training exclusively for my dog, he is very spoiled and he used to cry so much when somebody else even brushed his hair. I decided to get the training to keep him happy. For an extra cost I can offer baths including ear cleaning.For me safety and comfort is of paramount importance.Your dog will have access to the backyard but will sleep inside of the house. I encourage owners to bring their dogs bed and favorite toy so they will feel a little more like they are at home.Your dog will get two daily walks and also play time in the backyard.Your dog will receive lots of attention all day long. I am doing this because I love animals but especially dogs!I can take pictures so you can see how your dog is doing. We can even schedule a skype video chat so you can see your dog in case you miss him as much as I miss my little guy when I am away.Dogs who stay for 5 days or more receive a toy to take home. I love all kinds of dogs but I have some restrictions for now. I can only watch dogs less than 20 pounds and I can’t dog sit a Rottweiler or Pitbull. This is because I have a little girl and my dog is a toy size so I am worried about their safety.I can’t love your dog like you do, but I promise he will be loved.Hablo espanol.
“Cassidy was a kind and reliable sitter! I got her to drop in while I was away for a week-long conference! I was worried to leave my pet alone for so long, by Cassidy was great about sending a few pictures and updating me on her wellbeing.”

Frances was so great with my 3 odd, finicky, kitties! Each cat has a unique personality and she adjusted and actually had one come and sit in her lap—a miracle. She also unloaded my dishwasher and then loaded it to clean all the cat bowls AND she took out my garbage full of cat food cans! She made arrangements to come by first to meet me, see the cats and the routine, and pick up a key. She’s a real professional and I trust her to take great care of my cats.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
