“Grateful to Tabitha for taking care of Luna and Oliver while we were out of town! Luna was happy for the company and both cats were well taken care of during the visit.”
“Amanda was reliable, trustworthy, and responsive. She asked great questions to make sure our furries would be well taken care of. And went above and beyond the call of duty when a bird flew in our house. I am so grateful for her service and will be asking her to sit again.”
“Mel was wonderful! She took great care of our kitties while we were away and helped us keep an eye on a potential house issue as well. Was quick to respond and a pleasure to work with. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Susan is our go to. She’s basically our pets’ god mother 🤣. Not only is she a phenomenal pet sitter with cute pics and updates.. But her knowledge of animal behavior is impeccable. 100/10 recommend her to pet sit as well as training sessions. She’s been with us since we first brought our puppy home and has made such a positive impact on her behavior. I always tell my friends/family about her!❤️”
“Helen had a drop-in visit with Coda today and he had a great time. She proposed a meet & greet and Coda loved to meet her. She followed all the instructions carefully based on Coda's needs. We hope to keep in contact with her.”
“Sam is the only person that we trust to watch our dogs and he does such an excellent job each time. We've been using Sam for years and plan to continue to use him in the future.”

“Colin is a responsible and dependable person who took care of my kitty on two occasions. Unfortunately he did not have the chance to interact with her because she is very shy. He did follow instructions regarding feeding etc. I recommend his services.”
About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love and care for dogs of all shapes and sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to towering Great Danes. I’ve been a devoted dog owner my entire life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m known for being dependable, patient, and genuinely passionate about dogs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply providing a calm and loving presence while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved every step of the way. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 2:45 PM, which allows me to provide attentive pet care during afternoons and evenings on weekdays. I’m fully available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, giving your pet plenty of dedicated time for walks, play, and companionship. My schedule allows me to balance reliable, loving care with consistent availability to meet your pet’s needs throughout the week. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding times, exercise, medication, or play preferences. I make sure to give lots of attention, affection, and positive reinforcement so your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. I also keep the environment clean and secure, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands. My goal is to create a calm, loving atmosphere that feels just like home.
“Shania was very communicative and on time. Shania took great care of my Oscar and I could tell he felt comfortable being his goofy self with her from the start. He can sometimes be shy. He was also well fed and had a clean restroom space, which was great.”
“Madison was reliable and great with my cat. He doesn’t warm up to many people, and he did to Madison. I felt confident that he was happy and in good hands, plus I regularly received pictures of him eating, playing, or getting petted. I would highly recommend Madison.”
“Fallon took amazing care of my cat while I was gone, going above and beyond by cleaning up after him. She sends detailed updates and great pictures. It was easy to relax on vacation knowing she was checking in on him. I look forward to working with her again!”
“Thank you for doing a great job, Sophie! My 8 year old DSH cat named Scooby is very skittish and hides whenever anyone comes into our home. Sophie was very respectful of that and didn't try to entice him to come out from hiding (which is what I preferred). Sophie sent me updates with photos each time she completed a drop-in and followed all my instructions. I left for vacation knowing thst Scooby was in good hands. I would highly recommend Sophie to anyone desiring pet care.”
“Nia was by far the sweetest sitter I’ve had yet! She was very attentive to my baby and even sent tons of videos and pictures as requested. She took her for walks and ensured she had fresh food and water each day. I would not hesitate to use Nia again for my baby!”
“Lingli took great care of Ferguson! I felt very comfortable during our week away knowing she was dropping in. She was very communicative as well. Thank you so much!”
“Victoria is so incredibly attentive, sweet, and loving with my Baby. She goes infinitely above and beyond just taking care of him. I’d count myself lucky to rebook her every time!!!”
Arbutus cat parents share their Rover experiences
Amanda was wonderful. Her thorough reports made me feel so comforted while I was away from home. I can tell my kitties loved her, because my little one doesn't come out for ANYONE except me, but Amanda was able to befriend her at the first drop in. Highly recommend.
Susan is our go to. She’s basically our pets’ god mother 🤣. Not only is she a phenomenal pet sitter with cute pics and updates.. But her knowledge of animal behavior is impeccable. 100/10 recommend her to pet sit as well as training sessions. She’s been with us since we first brought our puppy home and has made such a positive impact on her behavior. I always tell my friends/family about her!❤️
