“Chelsea was wonderful with Betsy and Lola! She was incredibly reliable, communicative and, most importantly, caring. When Lola (who's 13) wasn't interested in eating, she checked in with me and started adding some treats to make her food more exciting. I appreciated the all the pictures and detailed updates after each visit. Chelsea is great and I highly recommend her!”
“Ella was perfect! Our animals absolutely loved her! Her timing was perfect and she was very helpful with every request we had. I can’t recommend her more and I’ve had many Rovers!”
“Neha was very professional from start to finish. Her communication and commitment to my dog while I was away was outstanding and amazing. She is someone I trust and will use again in the future. Thank you Neha.”
“Caroline did a wonderful job watching my two cats Finn and Suki throughout this week! She was very reliable, thorough, and compassionate. I appreciated how communicative she was when sending updates, which helped put me at ease while traveling knowing they were well cared for. I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs!”

“Nathan took care of my two cats while I was away, and he was one of the best Rover sitters I’ve ever had. He was incredibly sweet with my girls and maintained excellent communication, giving me peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. His report cards were detailed, and he provided several amazing photos from each visit, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic sitter!”

“Anastasia was fantastic! She went out of her way to make sure our little scaredy cat Jake was super comfortable, and even went back to double-check on his comfort. She also was very communicative and prompt. And even brought in our mail! We will definitely be asking her for her services again! She’s wonderful!”
About: Hey hey! My name's Victoria, but friends call me Rev. I moved here a couple of years ago now from Georgia, began pet sitting in April 2024, and it's currently my full-time job! I've been fascinated with animals since a young age, with about ~17 years of experience, mainly with cats. As I've gotten older, I've fallen in love with the human-animal bond, and have become passionate about their care and respecting each one the way they deserve. Regardless of your pet's personality, preferences, or needs, I'm excited to meet, care, and accommodate your little darling with the same love as you would! I hope to hear from you soon 😊! As this is my full-time job, I'm capable of prioritizing my schedule to work for you and your sweetheart(s). I'm always sure to communicate if something may come up during your booking, such as other gigs or obligations outside of work, that way there's total clarity on where and when I'll be in relation to your pet(s). If you're not sure, please feel welcome to ask! If I can fit them into my schedule, even on short-notice or alongside another sweetie, I'm more than happy to see what I can do. I've got the kind of guest attitude you can expect from a typical Southerner! I take the care of another's space very seriously, doing my best to leave things as I found them, and due to a background in housekeeping it's not uncommon for me to do some cleaning before I leave. You can trust to come back to your home just as you left it, if not with less dust than before!
“Samantha has been an absolute lifesaver for us and our cat, Penny, who struggles with separation anxiety. Penny is usually very stressed when we're away, but Samantha’s calm and caring presence made a huge difference. She took the time to understand Penny’s routines and needs, and it was clear that Penny felt safe and comfortable with her. We loved getting regular updates and photos, which put us at ease. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet with love and patience, Samantha is the perfect choice!”
“This is our third time booking with Anna and we continue to be very impressed! She is meticulous and warm and we know she’ll catch every detail about how our cat is doing.”
“Anna did a wonderful job of taking care of my babies while I was away. She took many pictures and followed my instructions to the letter. I’m so grateful to have found her! Will definitely be using Anna again.”
“Neil and Yvette were fantastic. They were very understanding and accommodating when I had to leave on short notice. They cared for my cat well and followed all instructions.”
About: I have loved dogs for my whole life, and care for any dog, no matter the breed or size. I have volunteered at local animal shelters for nearly my whole life, and finally convinced my family to adopt a small dog as well. I take good care of her by walking her often, taking her on long runs, and even taking her in the car and letting her stick her head out the window. I am very energetic and play sports year round, so I am able to go on long walks or runs with dogs at almost any time in the day. I am excited to get to meet all sorts of dogs and can't wait to meet your dog too! Be ready for your dog to come home and take a long nap. I am very flexible and am willing to be scheduled very last minute. I’m currently hybrid, so I have plenty of availability whenever I work remote and would love to help your pup let out some energy in my free time! I am very careful and logical and will always ensure your pet is my highest priority. I keep a close eye and don’t get easily distracted.

“Ana took great care of Milo. She was very responsible, sweet and took the time to play with my cat. I can see from photos and Videos that he was very comfortable around her. I can only recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”

Victoria B.Star Sitter
“Victoria has cared for my energetic 6-year-old Maltese, Happy, in my home several times over the past couple months (2 to 8 hours each time, about 40 hours total). I highly recommend Victoria as a pet caregiver because she is trustworthy and reliable, empathetic, and experienced with caring for pets. The first time she sat for Happy, she listened carefully to understand his routine, and I felt assured she would take good care of him. She's always on time and was conscientious about taking him out for potty breaks and walks. Most of all, she is loving and genuinely cares about animals - she paid close attention to Happy and quickly got to know some of his adorable and quirky behaviors. And Happy is overjoyed whenever she comes over to sit, which probably says it all.”
