“Kimberly was awesome. All my dogs we go are naturally shy and weary around new people we’re loving life by the end of day 1. Communication was awesome with daily photos of my pups showing how happy and calm they were around Kimberly. I will definitely have her take care of pups again.”
“Jennifer and her son did an amazing job looking after our pups. They communicate well, sent photos and genuinely care for you dogs so that you don’t have to worry while you’re away. I will definitely book again.”
About: I have been a veterinary assistant for 2 years and studying to become a Veterinarian. Ive worked at clinics. Ive loved animals since I was very young, its a passion! I’m currently employed at a vet clinic therefore caring for your pets is a breeze and just as I enjoy my job I enjoy meeting new furry friends!

I provide a clean, calm, and loving home environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. I have over 10+ years of experience working with cats and dogs of all temperaments, including rescues and shy pets, so I understand how to read body language and create a stress-free space. I take introductions slowly and always ensure pets feel comfortable at their own pace. My home is kept pet-safe, with constant supervision and secure areas to prevent any accidents or escapes. Dogs are always monitored during outdoor time, and I maintain a structured routine to keep everyone happy and settled. For cats, I provide a quiet, cozy environment with clean litter boxes and safe spaces to relax or hide if needed. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, special instructions, and any medical needs, and I’m comfortable administering basic medications if required. Cleanliness is very important to me, and I make sure all spaces, bowls, and litter areas are maintained daily. You’ll also receive regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel confident and connected while your pet is in my care. My goal is to create a home-away-from-home where your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for at all times 🤍
About: As long as I can remember I have loved being able to help others out by watching their babies. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine care for every child I work with. I take the time to understand each child’s personality and needs, while keeping them safe, engaged, and comfortable. I’m dependable, communicative, and always aim to give parents peace of mind. While my kids are at school, I have plenty of time to provide attentive and loving care for your pets. I understand that some pet owners may feel more comfortable having their pets cared for without children around, especially if their pet is nervous or fearful of children. During school hours, I’m able to focus completely on your pet and make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they need in a calm environment. I always follow the care instructions and routines provided by each pet owner. If you have a specific list of rules, feeding schedule, medications, activities, or boundaries for your pet, I will make sure to follow them carefully. I’m happy to play, cuddle, and spend extra time with your pet if you’re comfortable with that. However, if your pet prefers their own space or you would rather I only provide the care they need, I will completely respect that and never force interaction. For overnight care, if your pet is comfortable staying in their own home, I can travel back and forth as needed to let them out, feed them, and make sure they’re doing well. If you’re comfortable with your pet staying with me instead, I can bring them into my home and keep them completely separated from my children so everyone stays safe and comfortable. My priority is always following your preferences while making sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and respected.
“Rebecca was great! Super communicative, flexible and took great care of my cat who needed oral medication twice a day and sent great pictures of him. She was very considerate about everything and proactive. Would definitely trust her to watch our cat again!”

Robert was wonderful with Boots! 🐾 He took great care of him, made sure he was fed, and sent us lots of pictures while we were away, which I really appreciated. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Boots was being well taken care of. I’m so happy Robert was able to help us, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. We would absolutely book with him again!
Mallory is very reliable, on time, keeps everything very neat and clean. Always kept me in the know with pictures, etc. My cats are a bit shy with new people in the house so there wasn't much interaction, which is fine with my girls. They would rather be left alone, and Mallory understood this. I would hire her again and recommend her sevices.

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.

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 .
