I had high hopes Baxter would open up to Candice. I’m sorry he got shy on you. Maybe another stay will make him open up. I’ll be sure to book Candice again in the future.

I can’t recommend Joy enough. Captain was so happy and well cared for while I was away. I loved getting updates and photos which gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. Joy is kind, reliable, and truly cares about the pets she watches. We feel so lucky to have found her. She went above and beyond!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover & grew up with both a cat and a dog, so I know how to care for pets with different personalities and needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away, I’m here to provide reliable, attentive care like they’re part of my own family! I work full-time on a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. I’m typically available for evening visits on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I’ll always make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need, even with a busy schedule! I make sure pets feel at home with lots of love, playtime, and sticking to their routine. I have a turf balcony for quick potty breaks and fresh air, and I’m all about keeping them comfy and cared for while you’re away.

Devon was a wonderful cat-sitter. She was timely for every check in and made sure to send me thorough updates about my cat’s eating habits and his mood. She also gave him plenty of exercise and sent me pictures after every visit. Walter (my cat) loved her! I will definitely be re-booking her services!

Erin took amazing care of my kitties, making sure to play and cuddle with them while I was away. From the photos she shared each visit, they clearly appreciated the attention and most tellingly, they were relaxed and happy when I arrived home after a week, which means her visits really calmed them. She kept their litter and food area clean too! I’m so grateful for and happy with her care.

Can’t recommend Sylvia enough! She was super communicative, provided detailed updates each visit, and sent so many wonderful pictures of our cat, Barty! We could tell Barty felt very comfortable with Sylvia which made going away for a few days so much easier for us. If you’re looking for a kind and reliable sitter, Sylvia’s it!

First time using Rover and we couldn’t be happier with Monica and the care our cats received! From the very first visit, it was clear how much she genuinely loved cats. Monica kept us updated with daily photos (which looked like professional shots at times!) and messages throughout, so we never had to worry while we were away. The cats warmed up to her and really enjoyed all the play time she gave them. Our place was left incredibly tidy when we got home, which was greatly appreciated after being away for a week. We’ll absolutely be booking Monica again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring cat sitter. Thank you Monica!

Sarah was so great with our two kitties! One takes a pill twice a day and Sarah was willing to come by to administer both times for multiple days. She easily figured out tricks to get our stubborn kitty to take her meds even when she didn’t want to, and our other shy kitty was quickly comfortable enough to come out of her hiding spot for food and pets. Highly recommend!
