“Jen was an outstanding sitter for our cat Mango! Not only did she provide detailed updates and photos of each visit, Mango seemed to really enjoy Jen’s company as well. We will definitely love to have her care for Mango again in the future!”
“Shibo was absolutely amazing! I have two male cats, and one of them I had just adopted 10 days before leaving for my trip. He was very skittish when I first got him, but he warmed up to Shibo right away. My other cat took a liking to him immediately as well—who wouldn’t! Shibo was so wonderful, giving my cats the attention they needed while I was away. In the past, I relied on neighbors and people just stopping by to feed and check on them, but my experience with Shibo has completely changed my perspective. It is worth every penny to have someone as great as him looking after your fur babies! When I returned, I could see the difference in my fluffy companions in the best way as this is very early in their introduction phase. I had peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. Shibo provided fantastic updates and beautiful photos, making it clear that my cats had a wonderful time with their new friend. I have full trust in Shibo as I also came home to find everything exactly as I expected. I highly recommend Shibo for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Especially cats.”
“Thank you, Brianna, for taking care of my elderly cats for two weeks! Usually, when I leave them, they get upset and could pee all over and make a mess. At this time, I came back to the clean apartment, and my cats were healthy and cheerful 😻.”
About: From long walks to slow sniffy adventures, I’m happy to match your dog’s vibe. I’m easygoing, reliable, and love getting to know each dog’s personality. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority—and I’ll send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing along the way 🐾 Right now, I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m typically available on Fridays and throughout the weekends; sometimes I am free during the weekdays outside 9-5. If you have any questions or a specific time in mind, feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate. I always prioritize safety, trust, and respect when caring for pets in your home. I follow all instructions carefully and treat everything with care. I do this work out of genuine love for animals and always treat each pet as if they were my own. I’m easy to communicate with and quick to respond, and I can send regular photo updates if you’d like.
“Nasimul was great with my cats, as always! He helped out with a last minute request on a bitterly cold weekend - it was nice to know my kitties were safe, fed, and entertained.”
“Christy was great with my cats, Poppy and Farfle; after a friend cancelled last minute, she swooped in and saved the day! She was kind, communicative, and went the extra mile to make sure my kitties were safe and comfy over the holidays!”
About: I’m currently working with a job that very flexible, we can discuss what time is the best you want me to go take care your baby. I care for cats in their own homes, where they feel safest and keep their usual routine. Each visit, I feed them as instructed, refresh water, clean the litter box, and spend time playing or cuddling. I watch their appetite, energy and behaviour, and tell you right away if anything seems off. I send photo or video updates so you always know how they're doing. With 20 years of cat experience and my own car, I'm happy to travel to areas with limited public transport.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 5 years, including my family dog and family friends’. I love going on walks, bathing, and feeding dogs. I know some tricks to give them medicine if needed. I’m working part-time on Saturdays, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your fur baby throughout the week. I don’t have any time restraints, so feel free to rely on me. I know how to crate dogs, regardless of age, and have a lot of patience since I’ve babysat toddlers before too. I know not all dogs are the same and wait for them to approach first unless there’s an emergency.
About: I’ve always been a lover of animals especially cats and dogs! I have my own cat that I’ve taken care of through thick and thin. Administering a pet medicine, a bath, a walk, food and water, and companionship is something I’m very fond of. Your pets will be treated like my own. :) I have all my weekdays free for taking care of your furry companion! However, if I have certain errands or appointments I need to get done I will let you know in advance as soon as anything comes up. :) I will make sure to accommodate to whatever requirements or rules you have set for your place of living. Please let me know of all of these before allowing me to care for your cat/dog.
About: I have raised German Shepards, Golden Retrievers, Great Danes, and I am currently a mommy to a Japanese akita, I have experience with several dog breeds. I am currently bartending events on call therefore my schedule is very flexible. I am able to have a lot of time for your fluffy. Kiki has a routine she is on, she is a very calm dog, she gets along very well with cats. Many people have told me that she must have been a cat in her past lifetime.
About: I have lifelong, hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels — from couch-loving seniors to zoomie-prone puppies! Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. My focus is on positive, gentle handling and getting to know your pup and their specific needs to help them feel at ease. I’m confident on leashed walks, experienced with basic training reinforcement, and always up for belly rubs, playtime, or just a cozy cuddle session (if you and your dog prefers). Safety, fun, and plenty of tail wags are always top priority when your pup is with me. I'm currently working part-time, so I can work around your schedule and I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I'm available for boarding on weekdays as well as weekends. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I understand that pets thrive on routine and familiarity, so I make it a priority to resemble their habits and schedules, feeding routines, walk times, and play routines. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling secure while their humans are away. Safety is always top of mind — I carefully follow all instructions, keep doors and gates securely closed, monitor for any unusual behavior, and ensure pets are never exposed to hazards (like unsafe foods, chewed items, or off-limits areas). I also stay in touch with updates and photos, so you feel confident and connected the whole time. Most importantly, I build trust with your pets through patience, kindness, and positive energy. Whether it’s a nervous cat hiding under the bed or an excitable pup waiting for their walk, I take the time to meet each pet where they are and help them feel comfortable in their own space.
“Suraia was kind to Max and would constantly send us updates, including pictures and videos. She showed concerned but certain behaviours that turned out to be normal for our cat, which we really appreciated. Max did not show signs of stress when he returned (which has happened in the past with other sitters). We will definitely use her again in the future.”

From daily walks to overnight stays, I’ve helped care for dogs of all sizes and personalities — whether they’re energetic adventurers or laid-back cuddlers. I’ve walked, boarded, and dog, sat regularly, and I treat every pup like part of the family, I even threw my own dog a birthday party on his 2nd birthday!

Whether it’s an evening walk after work or drop-in visits, I love making room in my schedule to spend time with pets.

In my home, I make sure pets have a cozy, clean space to relax, plenty of playtime, and regular walks and feeding schedules. I keep things quiet and low-stress, especially for dogs or cats who may be nervous in a new place. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to the routines they’re used to , from feeding times and walking routes to bedtime rituals and favorite toys. I respect your space and always leave things clean and tidy. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every pet like they’re my own , with lots of love, patience, and attention.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Bayside
Lawrence was amazing! I was super anxious to have a sitter for my cats, this is my first time using rover and I’m so glad I chose Lawrence. He was very communicative and cared about the instructions I gave, never afraid to ask questions to ensure my fur babies were well taken care of! His kind nature even got my super anxious cat domino to come out of hiding🥹 he sent update photos each day he came in for a visit, will definitely book with him if I’m ever out of town again!
Cynthia was AMAZING!! She took such great care of my cat while I was away. She was responsive, checked in, super easy to communicate with, very kind and nurturing, and made the whole process a dream. I will definitely be booking again. I felt that my cat was in safe and loving hands while I was away for a week. 100000/10!!!!
I recommend Dorothy who took care of my cats while I was away for five days. She came twice a day to feed them, give them fresh water and refresh their litter boxes. My cats are afraid of strangers and they hid the entire time despite her efforts to befriend them, but they’re like that with everyone. When I came home, both cats looked well and the house was clean and well cared for. Dorothy followed my instructions for feeding them and sent me detailed updates of her visits every day. I usually hate to leave my cats but I felt they were in good hands with Dorothy.
Sylvia is incredibly helpful, responsive, and communicative. She has gone above and beyond with each visit. Most importantly, my cats are comfortable with her and well cared for. It makes being away so much easier knowing they’re in good hands. I highly recommend booking with Sylvia!
Yiming is really a wonderful sitter: super professional, responsive, and thorough. I tend to be rather anxious when leaving my cat alone, but I was able to totally have some peace of mind thanks to Yiming’s attentiveness and clear love for animals! 1000% recommend

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.
