“Melinda was great with her drop in Visits with our two cats while we were away. The feedback and photos were very informative and we felt our cats were well cared for in our absence.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Pets have always been an important part of my life, and I treat them like family members. I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and want to provide reliable, compassionate care when their owners can't be there. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including senior pets, and I'm comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. I also have experience with shy and anxious pets and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and earning an animal's trust. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to provide care that matches their individual personality and needs. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand how important trust and communication are. I'll treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident they're happy, safe, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily routine. I currently care for my own senior cat and understand the importance of consistency, reliability, and attention to detail when it comes to pet care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. When caring for a client's pet, I make it a priority to follow their routine as closely as possible and provide the attention, exercise, companionship, and care their pet needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care is something I look forward to rather than simply another task on my schedule. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's individual needs and preferences. During drop-in visits, I'll ensure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks as needed, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection. For cats, I'll also scoop litter boxes and keep their area clean and comfortable. For dogs, I'll provide safe, enjoyable walks tailored to their age, energy level, and abilities. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk or a slower-paced stroll with lots of sniffing and exploring, I'll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“AMAZING!! 2/3 of my cats are very shy and Ana was able to bring them out of their shell and play with them and get some cuddles! Her short visits helped me feel so much better about leaving my kitties for the week while I was in another province. My cats looked sooo happy in all the photos while they were eating and also getting that playtime in! So so so happy with her service. Will definitely rebook in the future if she will have me!!”
“Andrea was great. Responds extremely fast & took amazing care of my 2 cats :) she provided lots of photos and updates and I came home from my week vaca to two happy babies. Would recommend and will book again.”
“We had such a wonderful experience having her take care of our two cats while we were away on a family vacation. From the very beginning, she was an excellent communicator, attentive to our needs, and incredibly respectful of our home and privacy. What stood out the most was how careful, gentle, and genuinely caring she was with our pets. She took the time to understand their individual needs and made sure they were comfortable, safe, and well cared for while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She was reliable, thoughtful, and clearly someone who truly loves animals. We came home knowing our cats had been treated with the same care and attention we would give them ourselves. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. **We will definitely hire her again!** ❤️”
“Jasmine took great care of my two cats while I was out of the country for three weeks. She sent me detailed updates and some very cute photos after every visit. I will definitely book her again next time I travel.”
About: I've grown up around cats, and my dad used to raise and breed Persians, but I was a full time cat-mom from 2009 until my babies passed away in 2020 and 2024. My cats definitely ran the show in my house. They got fed before I did, and also dictated when I slept and studied. I currently work full-time office hours, so I can drop in for visits after 5pm. I am hoping to reduce my daily hour soon though once the boss hires a helper for me. I can also come by on the weekends, or stay overnight any night. I will generally let the cats and their parents tell me what they want me to do. I love to cuddle and play with cats, but I can also leave them alone if they don't feel like playing and just give them food. And I can do some basic grooming too.
“Anick was great with my cats - took wonderful care of them, indulged Zoltan in his need to drink from the sink. Great communication - would definitely book her again. When I arrived home my cats were calm and content.”
“Ava is our to-go pet sitter for our cat Tito! She is just such a sweet and attentive human! She sends tons of photos while pet sitting and in all of them it seems like our cat truly feels comfortable and trusts her, it's even funny to see how he doesn't seem to miss us and is just enjoying his time with her. She is also very polite and professional in all the interactions. I truly recommend her to everyone.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Larkspur
Jasmine was great! I was able to do a meet and greet prior to me leaving town and show her the routine. Met all my expectations as requested and the cats seemed to love her, even Delilah let her pet her which isn’t an easy task for most people as she’s quite shy and skittish around new comers. I appreciate her punctuality as well. If ever in the future I need this type of service, Jasmine will be first choice. Highly recommend.
