About: NOTE: Times I am available are listed under "Availability" (left side of screen on computer + in the middle of this section on phone) I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and what helps them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve owned dogs and cats my entire life and have experience pet sitting for others, so I’m familiar with a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and focus on building trust at their pace, while also being able to keep up with energetic puppies who need structure, play, and consistency. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, which helps me respond quickly to anything your pet might need. I’m also very mindful of routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just maintaining the environment your pet is used to. I’ll always keep you updated so you feel confident and reassured while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels relaxed, understood, and genuinely cared for the entire time. ********************* **Schedule updated weekly** Available ANYTIME on: Sunday (19th) - Wednesday (22nd), Friday (24th) Available anytime BEFORE 4:00PM on: Saturday (25th) NOT Available: Thursday (23rd), Sunday (26th) (As Rover is not showing the times I am available, I will update this section of my profile every week.) ********************* When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific preferences your pet has. I’m very mindful of your pet’s comfort and behavior, and I always make sure they feel safe and secure in their own environment. I also respect your home and keep everything clean and tidy while you’re away. I’m attentive, reliable, and will keep you updated regularly so you feel confident your pet and home are in good hands.
“Shannon is the best! Our dog is always so happy when we come home from when she visits. She’s communicative and attentive and really goes above and beyond. Thank you Shannon for taking care of Remy!”
“Finn did an amazing job looking after our cats. They were on time, provided lots of photos, and more importantly, they spent time with them and cared for them when we were unable. Thank you Finn! We already have them booked for another visit. :)”
“Lizzy took such wonderful care of my bunny, Bean, that I think he was disappointed to see that I was back from my trip.🤣 I have booked with Lizzy for 6 days later this month and know that Bean will be well taken care of and loved.”
“Victoria has been extraordinary in taking care of our two cats while we were out of the country for an extended period of time. We really appreciate her commitment and attention to detail. She has also been incredibly flexible and accommodating when an emergency situation came up, and we are so grateful she was there to help. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Melissa was clear and transparent about availability when making plans for her to drop in to care for our cat. She asked lots of questions and sent pictures with updates. She messaged us after we got home to make sure everything was ok. Our cat loved having her visit, thanks Melissa for caring for her like your own!”
“Sarah is 10/10 amazing! Not only did we feel immediately comfortable with her, so did our 3 cats. She took such great care of our kitties while we were away for a few days and made sure she checked in morning and night with pictures, updates etc. Meeting her has been such a huge relief, knowing we can travel and that we now have a reliable and caring pet sitter. We love Sarah!”
“Wei-Chien was an amazing, top notch sitter who went above and beyond for our kitties. She provided daily updates with pictures and videos and always provided an update on what she did with the cats and how they were doing. We knew our cats were in good hands with Wei-Chien - even when there were messes. We would highly recommend her services and we plan on hiring her again in the future. Thank you Wei-Chien for your amazing work!”
“I would like to thank michelle for coming on short notice. As unexpected events happen, I was very fortunate to have Michelle be there for me. She is very reliable and worked very well with Draco being a high energy breed. I can tell he liked her within the first few minutes. Michelle is very friendly and approachable and went above and beyond my requests. I recommend her for your pets too!”
“Hugo was excellent. He quickly agreed to meet with us and we immediately felt completely at ease with having him as a caregiver for our dog and cat. He was able to do a sane day drop in and sent photos that showed how good he is with the pets. Looking forward to having him come back again soon!”
“Alex was a fantastic sitter! This was our first time using Rover and she made it so easy. She was very professional, friendly and provided great updates and communication while we were away. She was very patient with our two cats and made sure they were well cared for. Thank you!!”
“Ruomai took such great care of our cats over the weekend! They were doing great when we got home and I really appreciated her giving them so much attention and sending us photos and updates! They are looking forward to seeing her again in a few weeks and we will certainly use ruomai’s services going forward! ❤️”

“I booked Olivia for a drop in visit to check on my cat Finnick while I was out of town for the evening, and she was great! She sent me an update with photos, gave him some love and playtime, and even scooped the litter box, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and it was a huge relief knowing he was being looked after as I’m always a little anxious to leave my cat alone for a long period of time. Olivia put my mind at ease. I’d definitely book her again!”

I would highly recommend Shannon, she's absolutely wonderful! She really cares about animals and took excellent care of our cat while we were away. She went above and beyond in terms of engaging with him with activities, care and affection. She always left us a thorough note with lots of pictures too. We'll be sure to book Shannon next time we're away!
We keep coming back to Faryn for a reason! She's looked after our cats several times now and is always fantastic. The updates and photos she sends are a real highlight, you can tell she genuinely loves the animals in her care. We always come home to happy, relaxed cats. Couldn't recommend her more! :)
Sandra is an amazing and attentive cat-favourite! She looks after my 2, particularly energetic and anxious, cats (who love her) while I’m away and gives me such peace of mind. My cats are nearly identical, but only one gets medication, and with Sandra I never have to worry about them being given to the wrong one.
Joy was incredible! Very observant and relayed any notes in the daily reports and always had my girls' best interests at heart. Joy also handled unexpected hiccups (a furball and a temp control alarm going off) with grace and initiative. An absolute delight of a sitter, I couldn't trust my cats with anyone better.
Going on vacation honestly isn’t my favourite thing in the world particularly because of all the alone time it creates for my cat. However, the daily check-ins by Jennifer are the next best thing to me being home. I feel very relieved every time I get notified about one of Jennifer’s check-ins, and the photos she sends are priceless—it doesn’t take Jennifer long to figure out a cat’s favourite places and things. I feel very fortunate to have someone who works as an RVT adding care for my cat to her busy day.
Victoria has been extraordinary in taking care of our two cats while we were out of the country for an extended period of time. We really appreciate her commitment and attention to detail. She has also been incredibly flexible and accommodating when an emergency situation came up, and we are so grateful she was there to help. We will definitely book with her again!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
