“Emily was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She took such great care of Louie while we were out of town for the week and treated him with so much gentleness and attention. She made sure he was well fed, comfortable, and clearly cared for, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious she truly loves animals, and Louie was in great hands. I would happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable cat sitter.”
“Shai did an amazing job sitting our disabled, elderly kitty! She followed our routine and Fiona loved her. Fiona doesn't love many people. Shai communicated well and send pics. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Our cat had such a great time with Seng! Seng was very communicative, sent lots of photos and videos during playtime, and took very good care of our cat. This was our first time using the rover service, and we’re so glad Seng was our first sitter!”

I currently have 3 dogs , 1 mini poodle (female 11) , 1 dachshund (male 6) , and 1 chuweenie ( female 8) , I as well have a cat (female 3) that I rescued as a kitten! I currently work a part-time job at a dental office as a receptionist, my weekly schedule for work is Monday - Thursday from noon- 5:30pm which gives me the mornings and evening to look after your fur babies if and when needed! I have a nice sized yard and I live in a very quiet and pleasant neighborhood to walk your dog! Growing up my mom was a house keeper so from a very young age I was taught how to keep any space whether it was my home or another’s nicely organized and cared for! Respect will always been shown to you and your pets while you are away!
“Lydia has checked on our cat a few times now and it’s such a comfort to know that our cat is in good hands while we are away! We’ve never had any issues and appreciate Lydia’s updates while we’re gone.”
About: Hi, I am Erika and I’m looking to love on your dog or cat! I’ve been a dedicated dog lover my entire life. Growing up, my family had a Maltese mix. Later on, my sister adopted a cat who successfully converted our family to being cat lovers. Our beloved dog has since passed away, and I’ve missed having a furry companion as a buddy on my walks. Although I dont currently have a pet of my own, I am auntie to many of my friends’ dogs & cats now. Growing up with both a dog and cat, I’m experienced in providing attentive and reliable care for either drop-in visits or walks for dogs and cats. I’m highly communicative and love snapping both glam and action shots, which I will always send your way. I'm typically available in the early afternoons and evenings for walks and weekends for drop ins. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I currently work full time at a school so I am available in the afternoons and evenings. I also have availability on the weekends for drop ins Whether it’s a meet & greet, or following special instructions to care for their pets, I am happy to follow the owners lead to make sure the best care is given
“As usual Shao is the best! She dropped by to spend time with ozzy while I worked a very long shift. She walked, fed, gave his medicine, comforted and spent time with him. Ozzy is my senior dog that requires very specific care and she always does the best job taking care of him just as I would do. Shao always updates me consistently with photos and videos of what they’re up to, Ozzy always looks genuinely happy and comfortable, which is so so important because he gets very bad anxiety. Whenever I get home after Shao dropped by he always looks very peaceful and rested. Thank you Shao! Highly recommend!”
“Tingting was a great cat sitter and I'd highly recommend her! She did drop-ins for my 2 cats, and she was very communicative and sent many pictures during her visit. She fed them, played with them, gave them treats, and maintained the water fountain which covered all their needs. My cats seemed to like her!”
“Jaron was amazing while my husband and I were away for a week. Jaron watched our two kitties and went out of the way to make sure that they were cared for during the crazy ice storm that came through! Jaron always sent many photos and great updates, so that I knew that the kitties were good. The whole situation could have been very stressful, but Jaron really did a great job taking care of them.”
“Emiliano is very professional, friendly and easy to work with. My pup loves having out with him. It brings us a lot of peace of mind leaving our puppy with him. Highly recommend.”
“Janet responded to my “emergency” request immediately and said she could do a sit the next day!! Saved my life!! Max my dog loved her and Janet loves all dogs so it was a great match!! Gave me good dog tips as well. Thanks for a job well done!!”
“Theresa is the BEST sitter! She's been doing drop-in visits with my pup for the past few weeks and is always on time, thoughtful, and super communicative. My dog loves her! Thank you Theresa!!”
“Jie provided excellent care for our 15-year-old medically fragile senior kitty, who has several health conditions that require daily medication. We booked her to visit our cat three times daily to give her food, meds, litter box scooping, and quality time (cuddles, pets, scritches) while we were out of the country. During these check-ins, she sent us lots of pics, videos, and detailed notes about our cat’s appetite, hydration levels, medication reactions, and litter box activity. When she noticed concerning symptoms (decreased appetite, peeing outside the litter box) she called me immediately to let me know and discuss our options. What impressed me most was her ability to give our cat her daily medication (oral pills) in a way that was quick and low-stress, which did not result in any hisses or bites. I can tell she truly loves cats and cared about our kitty’s well-being as much as we do. We felt reassured that our cat was in good hands with Jie, and we’d definitely book her again for future cat sitting.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for a variety of pets, having owned 6 cats and a dog over the years. I am comfortable with pets of all personalities, from the independent to the cuddly, and I understand the specific needs of both cats and dogs. My experience includes feeding, grooming, walking, and providing lots of love and attention. With my background in pet care, I’m ready to ensure your furry family members feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away. I own a dog and take him on 3 walks a day to ensure he is getting exercise and lots of love. I also have a kitten for which we have daily play and cuddle sessions! While I haven’t had experience caring for pets in someone else’s home yet, I am confident in my ability to adapt to new environments and provide the same level of care and attention as I do with my own pets. I take great care to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure, following their usual routines and respecting their space. I would ensure regular feeding, playtime, and attention while keeping their environment clean and safe. I'm excited to offer my services and look forward to the opportunity to care for your pets with the same love and dedication.
About: I'm a dog lover looking to take care of community pets to ensure that they're dogs are taken care of like how I was able to care for my own dog. I have owned my own pets, including a dog for over 16 years. I am a responsible person who enjoys the presence of animals and will ensure that your dog (or cat) is being taken care of with the utmost care. I can host your pet at my house or sit at your house, whichever is more comfortable for your pet. I am also available to drop in and take your pet out for a walk, play, and socialize so they don't get lonely. I do request that dog boarding requests be discussed with me 48 hours prior to drop off date so that I can make sure that I am available and can accommodate your pet and their needs. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

She was very thorough and took good care of our cats!! Both of our cats are a handful but she managed to look after them with ease. She made sure to interact a lot with them during the short amount of time she had with them each day, and I appreciate that she asked us a lot of questions when she needed more clarification on something. We would definitely book with her again!
Benjamin was great! It was our first time using Rover and using someone not referred to us. Benjamin was super easy to work with and very communicative. It was our first time leaving our kitty since we moved here and Benjamin was understanding to my nervousness of leaving her and completely reassured me through pictures and his reports. We'll definitely use his services again.
Jasmine (Jie) was a wonderful sitter for our cat. We booked 2 weeks of drop in visits while we were traveling and she went above and beyond. Our cat loved her and we could travel with a peace of mind since we knew she was taking good care of her. She is very attentive and also very responsive to messages. She would notice little details and changes in our cat and let us know immediately. We would love to keep working with Jasmine in the future!
As usual Shao is the best! She dropped by to spend time with ozzy while I worked a very long shift. She walked, fed, gave his medicine, comforted and spent time with him. Ozzy is my senior dog that requires very specific care and she always does the best job taking care of him just as I would do. Shao always updates me consistently with photos and videos of what they’re up to, Ozzy always looks genuinely happy and comfortable, which is so so important because he gets very bad anxiety. Whenever I get home after Shao dropped by he always looks very peaceful and rested. Thank you Shao! Highly recommend!
Christine is fantastic! Kind, professional, and communicative. She is so loving with our dog! She did drop in visits/walks and in addition to caring for our pup, also worked on leash training with her. She gave us a full download on exactly how things went with training and what to keep working on. It’s clear Christine is passionate about her work and we’re happy for our pup to be with her any time!
I don’t normally leave reviews unless I feel very propelled by something that matters to me. I’ve got to say Elba is the most amazing dog sitter I have ever worked with, and I feel very lucky to have found her here. My dog is a little sensitive senior, and he absolutely loves Elba. I would have given her 10 out of 10 ⭐️ if I could. I could list so many important, great qualities about her, from her soft skills and “customer service” to her passion and love for my baby, which become clear in my dog’s behavior after spending time with Elba. She is intuitive, smart, ethical, kind, knowledgeable in her work, and has communicated with my dog in ways that really fascinated me multiple times. She is the definition going above and beyond! I can think of examples for every words I used to describe her. If you get lucky enough to book her services, you can be sure your baby will be in good, caring hands 😇
Yu-Hsuan was a great sitter for our two cats! She is very thorough and took many pictures to share with us while we were away. I appreciate her care and attention to detail. Both cats liked her a lot 😊 We got stuck while traveling and she was able to be flexible and drop in an additional time at the last second. Thank you again Yu-Hsuan!
