âZehra was amazing, checking in on my two cats while I was away on vacation! She sent thorough updates every day and sent me so many cute photos of my fur babies. She is extremely thorough and went above and beyond to make sure my cats were not only fed, but played with and brushed! Couldnât recommend her more and will be booking again in the future.â

âSamantha recently cared for my cats while I was away for five days, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. This was my first time traveling and leaving them behind, and I was a bit nervous at firstâespecially because my cats are very scared and skittish around new people. But Samantha was incredibly patient and gentle with them, and it made all the difference. She visited twice a day, provided detailed updates, and sent plenty of photos that reassured me they were safe and well cared for. Thanks to her, I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter. Iâll definitely be booking with her again in the future!â

âLada was extremely caring, communicative, and has a trusting nature. She took incredible care of our cat and went above and beyond, especially when Ellie was not feeling well. She was reassuring, calm, attentive, and knowledgeable! I would highly recommend her.â

âArlene was amazing! She took care of Mew and Gaia on short notice after our sitter dropped out the week of our wedding. I could not recommend her services more, our cats love her.â

âElizabeth was an amazing sitter for Simon. I was really nervous leaving him for that time but seeing how comfortable she made him, keeping to his routine and all the pics, the nervousness didn't last long! We also got some snow while I was away and even though the plow left build up at the end of my driveway she still made sure to stick to his routine and even laid some salt down on the stairs. I can't speak highly enough of Elizabeth!â

âAnna was so quick to communicate and came for a meet. She took great care of my cats and sent great pics:) This was my first Rover experience so Iâm very pleased. Everything was smooth and easyđâ
âI found Holly on Rover after being abandoned by a previous sitter who I had used several times. I was not disappointed to have found Holly. She was reliable, attentive and my cats loved her. From day one I received pictures and updates that reassured me that Sammy and Munchkin were in good hands. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Holly again and hope she feels the same way.â
âFaye was absolutely incredible, and consider ourselves blessed to have found her. Our kitties Pickles and Ozzy took to her immediately and looked so good upon return from our 2-week vacation. We would have Faye again in a heartbeat, and look forward to having her care for our cats again in the future. Five stars, easily earned.â

âJust an overall amazing experience with prompt service and professionalism from Dibakar. I contacted Him while I was away and he was able to accommodate to my schedule to complete a few visits per week, sent photos, showed my cats some love and did a great job cleaning up! Highly recommend and will definitely have Dibakar as my go-to!â

âShe was amazing and helped with everything I needed. Took lots of pictures of my cats too and even offered to clean up their litter a bit!! I will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her to any prospective clients!!â

About: I grew up with cats, large dogs, fish, frogs and a bunny, which has set me up to be a lifelong animal lover. As your pet sitter I will strive to make their comfort and happiness my priority. I've watched cats. I've watched small, medium, and large dogs, young and old. Excellent listeners with routines, but also free spirits. I'm happy to take you, or your pet's, lead when it comes to their care so we can all be sure it's best for them. Iâm looking to grow my pet sitting portfolio, so I currently have full time availability. Just send me a message and Iâm available to come check on your pet anytime. Having watched dogs in the past I'm very happy following your routine. Such as feeding times, if they're crate trained, when treats are given. It's these types of routines that help to build trust which grows into mutual respect. Which, in my opinion, is equally important to the attention and fun side of pet care. :)
âWe are very thankful to Kiana for taking such good care of our 3 kitties while we were away. We had her stop in twice a day for 1 hour drop in visits to do their breakfast and dinner. She gave great updates after each visit along with some pictures which we loved seeing. Our oldest cat has diabetes and requires insulin injections twice a day, he also happens to be a bit of a grump sometimes. Kiana was great with him and didnât miss a single dose which put our minds at ease while away. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their kitties while away.â

âRamiyah is very friendly and put my anxious dog at easy fairly quickly. I felt very confident leaving her to care for my wee 9-year-old sheltie, Athena. Also, I appreciated her text updates and photos. I will definitely book again with her!â


âJackie was fantastic and it was love at first sight for Milo. We felt compeletly at ease knowing that she was taking care of Milo while we were away. She provided us great updates after each visit. We would definitley have Jackie come and care for Milo again!â
About: Growing up with cats, I developed a deep love and understanding for animals from a young age. Over the years, I've provided care for a variety of pets, especially cats and dogs, giving me a wealth of experience in handling different breeds and temperaments. In addition to taking care of my own pets, Iâve frequently pet-sat for family and friends, ensuring their dogs received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while they were away. Whether it's playtime, walks, or simply cuddling up, Iâm dedicated to making pets feel safe and loved in my care. Available for pet care during evenings and weekends! I work 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM on weekdays but am flexible for morning or midday check-ins. When pet sitting in a client's home, my approach is centered on providing a comfortable and stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners. Hereâs how I manage it: 1) Familiarization with the Home: Before starting, I visit the client's home to understand the layout, locate essential supplies (like food, medications, and toys), and learn about any specific care routines or preferences. 2) Routine Maintenance: I stick to the pets' established routines, including feeding times, exercise schedules, and any specific care instructions. Consistency helps keep pets comfortable and reduces their stress. 3) Regular Updates: I provide frequent updates to the owner, including photos and notes about the petâs well-being, to keep them informed and reassured.
About: Iâve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, including my own two pups with very different needs. I have hands-on experience supporting dogs through medical conditions, including helping my first dog through cancer treatment and post-surgery care. Iâm also comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions from vets. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, providing the patience, support, and comfort they need. On the other end of the spectrum, my current dog is high-energy and requires a lot of mental and physical stimulation, so Iâm well-versed in creating enriching activities and structured routines. Additionally, I have experience with reactive and fear-reactive dogs, including reactivity toward fast-moving objects, children, and other dogs. I understand how to approach these situations calmly and safely to keep everyone comfortable. Iâm also familiar with certain e-collars and am open to discussing their use with pet parents if needed. My top priority is always to ensure that your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while youâre away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which gives me flexibility for drop-in visits and walks. On those days, Iâm available early mornings (before 8 a.m.), during my lunch break (12â2 p.m.), and after 4 p.m. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I offer evening walks. Weekends vary depending on my schedule, but I keep my calendar up to date so youâll always know when Iâm available. Iâm happy to accommodate different schedules whenever possible! Your petâs safety and comfort are my top priorities. During drop-in visits, I follow your routine closelyâwhether thatâs feeding, playing, giving medication, or providing potty breaksâso your pet feels secure and cared for in their own space. For walks, I always use secure leashes or harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on your dogâs behavior and energy. Iâm also experienced with reactive dogs and know how to create calm, positive walking experiences. I treat your home and your pet with respect, as if they were my own.
âJulia has a friendly and calming personality, and a very clean and welcoming home. She even had spa-like music on when Pompom and I arrived to help my kitty relax. We texted back and forth during the day to keep in touch. When I arrived she had everything all ready to go. I would not hesitate to take Pompom there again if needed :)â

About: I rescued my first cat when I was 10 years old, and Iâve taken care of cats ever since. I currently have 3 kitties that are 13, 8, and 3 years old. My sister also has a 6 year old Australian Shepherd who I have helped care for since he was a puppy. We have been on many hike adventures, had too many slumber parties to count, and Iâve even picked him up and cared for him post surgery. I am an animal lover, kind person, and can follow instruction. I genuinely care about animals and have deep respect for the bond one has with their beloved pet. Iâm currently working part time, usually in the mornings. I can check in on your animals any day , but can only accept a pet visit that fits around my work schedule. I will try my best to match with the schedule you are looking for. I will follow all instruction I am given to care for your pet in your home and will lead with respect, attention to detail, and the upmost care.

Nicki did another great job taking care of our cat through twice-daily drop in visits while we were away. We appreciate the detailed updated and photos, Nicki's quick responses, attention to detail (including following instructions around meals and medications), and making our kitty feel comfortable and cared for. Best cat sitter! Thank you!

Elizabeth was amazing. Lexi took to her immediately. It was so nice to have the reports and photos from each visit. It gave us peace of mind and we are able to enjoy our holiday with no worry. Elizabeth spent time with Lexi and was very caring. I actually think Lexi misses all the attention Elizabeth gave her. I would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone. She is amazing with animals. Her love for animals is so genuine that it actually radiates. We loved her

Faye is absolutely amazing! From the moment she arrived, her genuine enthusiasm for meeting our cats put us completely at ease. She took such incredible care of our fur babies during every single 30-minute check-in, keeping us updated with detailed videos and photosâincluding the sweetest moments of our cats coming right up to sniff her hands. On top of that, she was wonderfully diligent about keeping their space spotless and making sure their dishes were always freshly washed. Leaving our pets was completely stress-free thanks to her. We were beyond pleased with the incredible service and will absolutely be using your services again!
Julia was amazing with my two babies, autumn and winter. Autumn, whoâs usually very shy around strangers, came out of her shell with Julia and was fairly comfortable with her. This was a big win for us. I was nervous leaving my house and kids with a stranger but Julia was not only professional but also kept an eye out for anything amiss with the house. Autumn and Winter were happy and active with her. I would totally recommend Julia to anyone looking for personalised care for their fur babies.

Kiana was great with my two cats. She took great care of them while we were away for 2 weeks and I cannot recommend her enough. Her prompt communication and daily updates were very much appreciated. Thank you so much Kiana for putting us at ease while we were away. Until next time đ

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
