“Vivian checked in our cat daily while we were away for a week and did a wonderful job. We received daily updates with photos and videos which gave us peace of mind and she was on top of everything; highly recommend.”
About: I've lived with cats all my life and have harness trained/advised on harness training three cats so far. While I have less experience with dogs, I have worked with them before. I am quite small, so I can only walk a couple of dogs, and cannot walk larger dogs. I've also recently gained experience with some more exotic species, so don't be afraid to reach out if you've got more than dogs or cats! I tend to have either evenings or mornings free, so I'm looking for something to fill the time before going to my day job. I also have a few days off a week where I'm more free to drop in any time! My backyard is fenced, and in the past my cats had supervised time outside, as well as walks. I follow owner's instructions, as not every animal is as exploratory as my cats were, and owners know their pets best.
“Joanna is just the best! She checked in on my two boys daily while I was out of town for a week. She was so thorough with understanding their needs and made sure they were given lots of love and playtime at each drop-in visit, in addition to feeding them, changing their water, and emptying their litter box. You won’t find a better petsitter! I’d give ten stars if I could!”
“She's amazing and we will definitely be calling on her services again! Our plan changed last minute and needed her an extra day, it was really easy to get in touch with her and add the extra visit. It put our minds at ease to know our babies were in good hands.”
“Isaac and Mildred took great care of our cat while we were away. They played with him a lot and he seems to have had a great time. They went the extra mile by keeping his corner really neat and tidy. I strongly recommend them and hope they will be available the next time we need a sitter.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly love caring for them. I have experience with dogs, and cats! I understand the needs of different pets and enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. Pet care fits into my routine really well because I enjoy being around animals. I recently graduated from high school so I have more availability and flexibility. I’m able to plan my days around pet visits and walks. I always make sure I give each pet the time and attention they need. I like the structure it brings to my day, and caring for animals honestly never feels like a chore, it’s something I enjoy doing! When I’m house sitting, I treat your home and pets with the utmost care and respect. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I make sure they get their usual routines like feeding, potty breaks, and playtime. I keep the environment clean and secure.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Scarborough
Liz was our very first pet sitter, and before using Rover, one question kept running through our minds: How do we let a stranger into our home and trust them with our beloved cats? That concern disappeared the moment we met Liz. From our first meeting, I felt an instant connection with her. It was exactly the feeling I hoped for if I was going to leave my two “kids” in someone else’s care. Honestly, Liz never felt like a stranger from the moment we met. Everything after that was easy, comfortable, and stress-free. At times, it truly felt like it was meant to be. Liz took exceptional care of our two cats. One of our cats requires insulin injections every 12 hours, and Liz administered them promptly and reliably throughout our time away. Knowing that such an important medical need was being handled with consistency and care gave us tremendous peace of mind. We want to do more traveling in the future, but providing our cats with safety, love, and excellent care will always be our top priority. Thanks to Rover, we found Liz, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you, Rover, and thank you, Liz. We will absolutely continue to use Liz in the future. Her kindness, compassion, and dedication mean the world to us, and we know our cats are in the very best hands. Dini and Family
To say Anyelka was EXCEPTIONAL is an understatement. I couldn't have asked for better care of my fur baby. She was punctual, caring,committed,kind,thorough, very loving and attentive. My first experience has been absolutely amazing. My mind was at ease my entire trip with daily reports, pictures, videos and even a Christmas photo shoot ❤️ Knowing I had such a compassionate, dedicated and loving person for my Simba was priceless. 5 stars ++++ Anyelka goes over above and beyond❤️
Kaloutha is wonderful to deal with, has fantastic communication skills (the photos are always marvelous), and has a wonderful way of keeping our minds at peace about taking care of our cat when we were away. We are grateful that she is as great with our cat as she is professional!
