“Our cat Alphie was so well taken care of by Mary! She intuited Alphie’s preferences and he immediately took to her. The daily photo updates were also wonderful! We will definitely be one of her repeat customers.”
About: As a cat owner and animal lover, I understand first-hand just how stressful it is to leave our fur babies alone for a few hours, days, or even weeks. So, I’m here to make sure you can rest easy knowing that your cats are cared for, loved, and kept happy on the daily. I’m able to provide all types of care and have no problem administering oral medications or wound care, and I’m also currently obtaining a certification on Pet First Aid. In order to give you even more peace of mind, I will also provide you with daily updates on how your cats are doing, as well as send you photos/videos ☺️ I’m a PhD student so my schedule is quite flexible 🕰️ I’m available for up up two drop-in visits a day (mornings and evenings) to make sure your cat friends/babies are cared for, loved, and happy (and with a clean litter box!). I like to send pawrents frequent photo/video updates as well 😺 I am extremely careful anytime I open the front door🚪and make sure everything is well closed and locked when I leave. Strict leave-shoes-upon-entrance self-imposed policy to prevent outside dirt and bacteria from coming into your place. I avoid opening unnecessary doors/windows at the cat’s home to prevent them for being locked in a specific room. Upon each visit I make sure there are no visible risks or hazards to your furry friends🐱
“Georgia was amazing! She came to our house before we went away to do a meet-and-greet and learn a little bit about our cat, which was really great. Georgia was communicative, kind, and took great care of our little guy. We would highly recommend Georgia!”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for cats and dogs, including working as an Animal Care Attendant at a veterinary clinic and volunteering at animal shelters and dog daycares! At the veterinary clinic, I worked with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, administering medications as directed, and providing daily care and socialization for boarding animals. I also assisted veterinary staff with safe handling and restraint during appointments and procedures. Through these experiences, I've learned how important it is to understand each animal's body language, personality, and individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for energetic, playful dogs as well as shy or nervous pets who may need extra patience and reassurance. I'm genuinely passionate about animal welfare and hope to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. I'll always treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets throughout the week! I understand how important consistency and routine are for animals, so I'll always do my best to follow their usual schedule and ensure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! Through my experience working at a veterinary clinic and volunteering at animal shelters, I've learned how to safely handle animals with different personalities, temperaments, and needs. I understand the importance of respecting each pet's boundaries and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. I'll carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions, maintain a clean and safe environment, and provide regular photo updates so you can feel reassured knowing your pet is in good hands!
About: I’m calm, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s needs. I’ve worked with all breeds, including reactive dogs, leash pullers, and high-energy dogs, and I adjust my approach based on their behaviour and comfort level. I’m also comfortable reinforcing basic training and sticking to routines to keep dogs happy and safe. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to be flexible with scheduling. I have a consistent routine and can plan my day around visits, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m reliable and make it a priority to stick to each pet’s schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I make sure they are safe at all times, follow any specific instructions closely, and keep a clean and calm environment. I’m very attentive to details like doors, leashes, food, and water to ensure everything is secure and comfortable for the pet. My goal is to build trust so pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I grew up on a farm with many pets including farm animals which I helped care for. I was previously employed at a no-kill animal shelter where I was responsible for all aspects of dog and cat care - including exercising, feeding/watering on schedule, administering medication, bathing and grooming. I’m working part time at night so I have plenty of time in my schedule to care for your fur babies during the day. I can drive but I don’t mind walking your dogs in any weather! I prefer to come to you to care for your pet, whether drop-in, walking or daycare. I have one kitty in my home who very nervous around other animals.
About: I’ve cared for pets most of my life, however I have been caring for my two kitty girls for the past 4 years, making sure they are extremely loved.

I will come to your place as I currently cannot care for pets at my place of residence. I am patient and careful with your pets and will love to spend time with them, even if it means sitting and not bothering them!

I work a part time job but it can absolutely be worked around with proper notice! I am willing to do one time or regular walks. I have a fenced backyard as well as a nearby dog park and family park to make sure your pet is stimulated and tired from a day of fun and play!
About: Since the age of 10 I’ve always had a house full of pets , wether they were mine, friends, neighbours or families pets I always ensured they were loved and well taken care of!

About: Certainly! Here’s an extended version with a few more lines to make your answer more detailed and impressive: --- I have over 8 years of hands-on experience as a dedicated pet sitter, and I also care for two pets of my own — a playful dog and a senior cat — so I understand the daily needs, personalities, and quirks that make each pet unique. What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my experience, but my genuine love for animals and my ability to connect with them on a deeper level. I have worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from energetic puppies needing consistency and training, to older pets who require medication, mobility assistance, and extra TLC. I’m skilled in basic puppy training, crate training, leash manners, and socialization. I also have experience dealing with rescue animals and those with anxiety or behavioral issues, always using a gentle and reassuring approach. Pet safety is my top priority. I stay alert, follow detailed care instructions, and maintain regular communication with pet parents through updates and photos. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with love, patience, and respect. I work from Monday to Friday from 9 to 5.After that and before that I am available and I can sit with your pet at night Here’s a well-rounded answer to the **“Safety, trust & environment”** question, written from your perspective as an experienced cat sitter and pet sitter who may care for pets either in your own home or the client’s home: --- Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or my client’s, safety and trust are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions precisely — including feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, and any household rules their pet is used to. I take the time to learn each pet’s preferences and behaviors so I can provide a familiar, low-stress environment while their family is away. In my own home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space that is free from hazards. I ensure secure windows and doors, use pet-safe cleaning products, and have separate, quiet areas available if a pet needs space or time to adjust. My own pets are well-socialized, and I carefully supervise all interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I also provide regular updates, photos, and videos to build trust with pet parents, showing them that their pet is in good hands. Whether in my home or theirs, I aim to create a calm, caring, and secure environment where pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Kingston
We couldn’t be happier! Shelley took such amazing care of our kitten while we were away. She kept us updated and gave us so much peace of mind knowing our little girl was in such wonderful hands. We’re beyond grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets! ❤️
As always, we are so happy with the care our pets receive when we work with Anna and Aleksei. Most recently we had Anna doing drop in visits/feedings with our cat, Murphy. Anna was very punctual and communicative, sending photos and updates. I could not recommend these two more! 🥰
Myriam always quickly responded to messages, seemed very focused and structured and even took care of things around the house that we were not able to deal with because we were away. It did not take our cats long to warm up to her and we are happy with how it all worked out!
Treena looked after my cat Sweet Cheeks for a week coming to my home twice daily. I can tell by the pictures that were sent to me that my cat absolutely fell in love with Treena. I highly recommend her services. Thank you Treena for taking good care of Sweet Cheeks
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t say enough good things about Erina! She was absolutely wonderful. She was friendly, kind, incredibly punctual, and amazing with my cat, Rooney. You can tell right away that she really knows her stuff, and having her nursing background gave me so much confidence that Rooney was in great hands. She was so sweet and gentle with him, and I felt completely comfortable trusting her with his care. She was reliable, knowledgeable, professional, and just genuinely lovely to deal with. I’m so happy I found her and would recommend her without hesitation. Rooney and I are both big fans!
Tess was amazing with my cat Toby! She was reliable, kind, and kept me updated throughout her visits, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated how attentive she was and how well she cared for him. I came home knowing Toby had been safe and looked after, and I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

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 Meet & Greet.
