“We are so grateful to have found Sarah to watch our cats while we were away. One of our cats is extremely timid and Sarah was very kind and patient with her - she's the only cat sitter that our girl has ever liked. We appreciated the detailed updates and photos. It brought us so much peace of mind. We will definitely be hiring Sarah to watch our cats in the future.”

“This is our second time booking Lise & Luwam! We had to be away from home for almost a week and knew that our cats were both in such good hands. We loved the updates and photos during each visit, and appreciate their attentiveness to caring for them and giving them the human attention we know our cats love 🩷”

“Emma and her husband did a wonderful job with our three cats. They made sure our babies were fed, had water and a clean litter box. Our trip was cut short but they were very understanding and adjusted the schedule. I highly recommend Emma and her husband if you need someone to not only take care of your pets but also give them some cuddles.”

“Karen was great taking the care of our pet for the week. So friendly, kind, very reliable and truly an animal lover. We will definitely have Karen take care of our pet again in the future”

“Jenny did an awesome job doing drop-ins for our two cats. We contacted her on quite short notice and she quickly responded and set up a meet & greet. I could tell upon meeting that she was a reliable person, and she made our weekend away worry-free! :)”


About: Hello! My name is Nathalie and I am an animal lover looking to care for the pets of others! I have 5 years of veterinary and animal experience working in animal hospitals, cat shelters, dog daycares, and even barn experience with horses and sheep. I have great experience in handling approaches for both dogs and cats, administration of medications (including injections), dog walking, nail trims, pet caretaking and customer service. I have two cats of my own and hoping to get a dog in the near future as well! My goal is to continue helping others and establishing great relationships with both humans and their furry loved ones. I’m currently looking to do pet care full time Monday-Friday so I am fully available and flexible throughout each week day. I am available 9am until 9pm and open to overnights/different timing if needed. I provide all pet care at the comfort of your home and can provide dog walking services for as long as you’d like - whether its 30 minutes or 1 hour, I am happy to discuss your pets needs.
“Audrey was wonderful with our cat, Timbit. She sent great daily updates with photos, followed all feeding and litter instructions perfectly, and we came home to a very relaxed and happy kitty. We will definitely book with her again. Thankyou Audrey!”

“Charlene was lovely and loved my cat while I was away. She sent photos and videos and kept me updated, but most of all I could see that my pet enjoyed her company! Would definitely have Charlene in my home again.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for over 13 years, and I have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs! From senior dogs requiring medication and caring for my own dog with epilepsy, to energetic pups needing patience and training, I’ve experienced it all. I’ve also adopted a formerly feral cat, helping her feel safe, comfortable, and loved, training her myself and teaching her to be an indoor cat. I’ve watched birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish as well. I truly believe every animal deserves kindness, patience, and individual attention, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! I’m currently a full time student at Seneca College, working toward my degree in Behavioural Psychology! My classes alternate between Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, but since they’re all online, I have a very flexible and open schedule. I’m available day or night, weekdays or weekends, and I’m always happy to help with last minute needs, holidays, emergencies, or simply giving your furry friend some extra love and attention when life gets busy! Your pets’ happiness and well being are always a priority to me! I believe every pet deserves a safe, loving, and enriching environment! My own cat, for example, is incredibly spoiled, with a filtered water fountain, a carefully varied diet of wet and dry food, multiple cozy beds, a toy bin, two cat trees, scratching posts, and even her own outdoor enclosure! I also love taking her on adventures with her leash and harness and would love to do the same with your kitty. For dogs, I love going on long walks, exploring new areas, and switching up routes to keep things exciting! I enjoy playing with pets both indoors and outdoors, working on training, and capturing lots of adorable photos along the way. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll always prioritize their safety, comfort, individual needs, and routines. My goal is to make every pet feel just as loved and spoiled as my own!

“Cassandra was so reliable and went above and beyond taking care of my cat for a week while I was away. She brought in packages she found on the porch, kept her liter area clean and tidy and spent good quality time with my cat instead of rushing out the door. She also sent regular updates with pictures. I will absolutely use her pet sitting services in the future, completely worry free!”

“I’m so so grateful for Jessica. I booked her services in such a short notice and she was super accommodating. She would keep me updated with videos, pics and details about how my baby was doing (my cat Simon), which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Also, Simon really seemed to like her company and energy. I would recommend her 100% - She’s friendly, caring, diligent, enthusiastic and very kind. Thank you so much Jessica, I’m very glad I found you!!!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats of my own, and I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, so I’m comfortable with pets of different personalities and needs. I also have personal experience with anxious dogs because of my own dog. I’m currently in undergrad with the goal of going to veterinary school in the future, so caring for animals is something I’m genuinely passionate about. I’m attentive and want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. This is my second Rover account, as I previously deleted my old account, because of that, I don’t currently have reviews on this profile, but i’d be happy to provide references from past clients if you’d like! I’m available basically eveeyday of the week as I currently don’t have any other job. We can talk more about the details when we get in touch. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they are stress free. I ensure they are fed on time, walked or exercised as needed, and given lots of attention. I also keep the space clean and provide updates to the owner.

Can't thank enough Sarah for her service and care of my 3 Kitties, she visited them at least 3 times a week (usually more) for the past few months as I needed while I dealt with an out of town move. Her help allowed me to focus on all the other things while knowing my cats were well taken care. Sarah is super diligent, and quick to reply,also always willing to add a last minute booking when I needed. Thanks Sarah! Fruna, Isis and Grisel will miss you 😺

Malcolm was very thoughtful and caring toward our two cats. He made sure they were looked after as if he were a family member checking on them. I can tell whenever we return from a trip how things went, and the cats act as if we were just at the grocery store and came back (not 4 days), which tells us they enjoyed their care. Malcolm followed our care instructions, and everything went smoothly while we were away. We would get Malcolm to look after our cats again in the future. A++++

Kari truly goes above and beyond. As soon as we have a vacation booked I book her services as I know 10000% that she will treat our cats with so much love and care. From her detailed reports and photo updates to her cleanliness and attention to detail when she visits, I have zero worries in the world and absolutely nothing but positive things to say about her. Our boys love her and I know your pets will thank you for introducing this new friend to them, too. Thank you so much for the incredible peace of mind, yet again, Kari!

Jacqueline is an absolutely wonderful sitter! She took excellent care of our little girl while we were away. It was Scarlett's first time without her humans, and considering she has a tough past, we were concerned about how she would feel. Jacqueline made sure that Scarlett felt safe and comfortable, offering kindness, soft words, and continued patience. She was always on time and made sure to send us photos and updates 🙂 We would definitely recommend Jacqueline and hope that she would want to sit for Scarlett again in the future 💖 Thanks again, Jacqueline!

I’m so so grateful for Jessica. I booked her services in such a short notice and she was super accommodating. She would keep me updated with videos, pics and details about how my baby was doing (my cat Simon), which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Also, Simon really seemed to like her company and energy. I would recommend her 100% - She’s friendly, caring, diligent, enthusiastic and very kind. Thank you so much Jessica, I’m very glad I found you!!!

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.

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.
