About: I’m a veterinary technician with 15+ years of pet-sitting experience across the globe, caring for everything from dogs and cats to birds, reptiles, and other exotics. I’m confident handling special needs pets, administering medications, and am CPR-trained. I bring both professional skill and genuine compassion to every animal I look after. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently self-employed and have plenty of time to love and care for your pets! I am happy to work around your usual routine and availability. I care for pets right in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routines, keep things calm and familiar, and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I’m tidy, clean, and respectful of your space, so you can come home to happy pets and a home just as you left it.
“Mis was so patient and professional with handling and caring for my dog’s high-maintenance needs all week. Communication, updates and photos really helped me feel my pup was in good hands. I came hone to a calm, happy pup and well cared-for space. I would absolutely book Mia again.”
“Erin immediately made my cats feel comfortable and cared for. She is AMAZING! For the first time sitting for my 2 cats, I thought it would take awhile for them to warm up. It was instant. She has a wonderful way, takes great photos of the drop-in visits. I knew I could relax on my trip; everything was perfectly taken care of. I HIGHLY recommend Erin!”
“Hayden was fantastic with our two dogs and cat. She visited at expected time and sent nice updates with pictures at each visit. I knew our fur babies were well taken care of. I will definitely be using Hayden again and would recommend her to others”
About: I have taken care of my own pets for over 10 years and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to watch over and send adorable pictures of your furry friends. Whether it is a walk, a drop in, or an overnight stay I prioritize making sure your pet has the best time possible. I am a behavioralist by day so I am able to work with animals with any behavior. I am currently working part time so I have lots of open time in my day to drop in for a walk or a visit to see your fur baby. I prioritize quality time with each pet I work with so I take on less clients at a time to ensure I am maximizing the quality of my services. When I am in my clients homes I believe in leaving it better than I found it and making sure you get lots of pictures of your pet when I am there. I will communicate around when I am checking in or will send periodic updates if you are wanting them for overnight care.
“Sonia did a great job making sure my cat had food and water at her usual times! My cat is very shy and likes to hide. Sonia made sure Phyllis was OK by taking pictures of Phyllis in her favorite spot. Gave me peace of mind that my cat was healthy and doing fine while I was away.”
“Kelsie was an absolute dream to work with! Kelsie did weekly drop-in visits for me for 6+ months. My very shy and nervous dog loved her and I never had any concerns for his safety or happiness when he was in her care. She is communicative, flexible, and exceptionally trustworthy. I would highly recommend Kelsie to care for your fur babies!”
“Emily's cat-sitting services exceeded my expectations. At the meet and greet she asked for vet info in case of an emergency and asked about my cat's health so she could monitor for any issues. She was extremely warm, kind, and compassionate. She deeply cared for my cat and texted while she was here to let me know how the check-in was going and ask questions. We are thrilled to recommend Emily to others and looking forward to having her as our long-term sitter. Thank you Emily for your impeccable service and care!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is how attentive and patient I am with animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m especially gentle with nervous or shy pets and make sure they get plenty of reassurance, exercise, and affection at their own pace. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering basic care as instructed, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, cared for, and loved in a calm, positive environment. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays, am mostly home and available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and available Fridays until the evening. I work short weekend shifts but remain flexible for pet care before and after work. I live in an apartment with two cats and maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment. I carefully follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions, give pets plenty of attention, and adjust care based on their comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines, keep spaces tidy, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.
“Jillian did a fantastic job of taking care of our precious Gemma cat. My cat usually doesn't like other people but she warmed right up to Jillian and became friends instantly. Gemma was well loved and taken care of and I will be using Jillian's services again next time we leave town. Thanks again Jill! ❤️😽”
“Jennifer was awesome with my cat, Fawkes!! Very attentive and communicative. Was great getting updates every day showing me he was doing well. I’d definitely book her again! :)”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 18. Ive worked at multiple doggy day cares and training. I dont have any pets myself so your animal will have my full attention. I also take care of cats. I grew up with a ton in my family home. Im currently unemployed, I have been aboard. Im taking my time to find a job that involves pets. So my attention will be fully on your pet. I can care for your pets in whatever way you possible require. I have all the free time in the world to make sure your pet is taken care of.
“Bailey was so sweet with my old man poppers and his crazy anxiety ridden cat sister! I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting. She's very knowledgeable and is very good at keeping in communication about your pets!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life dogs, cats, lizards, even goats! I’ve trained my dogs since they were puppies and have lots of experience with large breeds and senior pets. I’ve also been around cats for as long as I can remember and understand their different needs. Whether it’s energetic pups, shy cats, or unique pets like reptiles, I treat every animal with love, patience, and the same care I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because it’s something I truly love doing. I have a car for reliable transportation and flexibility, and caring for animals is my main focus. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and safety will always come first with me I’m here to give them the best care possible, just like I would for my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick to their normal routines, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they always feel at ease whether that means belly rubs, playtime, or just quiet company. Every animal is different, so I adjust to their needs and give them the same care and love I’d give my own pets.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was ten years old. My little sister and I were quite the entrepreneurs, and created our own pet-sitting business in our neighborhood, taking care of our neighborhood pets. I absolutely love taking care of animals and am highly interested in a career working with them. I also have a fur baby of my own! I currently am working part-time and taking a gap semester, so I generally have open availability and can make time to stay overnight or drop by easily! I currently do not do boarding, however I do house sitting and drop-in visits, giving your pets the safety of their own home. Every pet that I take care of I treat like one of my own!
About: I love being outdoors, especially with a dog by my side. I'm also happy to sit with your cat or dog in your home and will treat both with the highest level of care. While volunteering at Greenhill Human Society, I was lucky enough to find my boy Loki and he has given me such joy over the last 15 years. I'm free most afternoons, evenings and weekends for walks, drop-ins or overnights. Currently I'm working part time in the mornings but that changes to full time February to April. I'm known for being reliable as well as detail orientated. I will respect your home whether coming in briefly for a walk or during overnight stays.
“Heather has done drop-ins for our dog Hachi (180 lb Great Dane), and has always been great. We feel comfortable with her coming by our apartment and making sure he gets a potty break and has food/water available. Heather has also been flexible with last minute changes and requests, which is something that’s extremely helpful when things don’t always go according to plan. I am leaving this review after our second booking, but I know we’ll be reaching out again for future drop-ins. We’re very pleased with her services and recommend her! Thank you Heather.”
Cal Young pet parents share their Rover experiences
Erin is a cat whisperer! She provided such excellent updates and coaxed our shy cat out every time she visited and got the cutest pictures showing us they were ok while we were gone. Very thorough and once I got the first update immediately knew they were in good hands and I could relax on my vacation. Definitely recommend.
Karina did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our cat, Louie, and we genuinely could not have asked for a better experience. She sent so many photos and updates throughout the stay - and not just random photos, but genuinely great ones that made us feel so connected while we were away. You could tell she really paid attention to Louie and his personality. Her notes were incredibly detailed and thoughtful, and she always included the exact kind of updates we cared about most. On top of that, her messages were hilarious and comforting, which made being away from Louie so much easier because we knew he was in good hands and being genuinely cared for. We also came home to little things that completely exceeded expectations - she swept up all the cat litter that had gotten everywhere, washed dishes, and left everything looking great even though we never asked her to do any of that. It was just such thoughtful, above-and-beyond care. Overall, truly awesome service and we would absolutely book Karina again. Highly, highly recommend!
Jillian did a fantastic job of taking care of our precious Gemma cat. My cat usually doesn't like other people but she warmed right up to Jillian and became friends instantly. Gemma was well loved and taken care of and I will be using Jillian's services again next time we leave town. Thanks again Jill! ❤️😽
Mia was absolutely amazing! It’s so hard to find someone comfortable and trustworthy enough to watch a turtle, but she went above and beyond. I felt completely at ease knowing my tortoise was in such good hands. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared a lot about making sure everything was done right. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter
Julia was so kind, accommodating and amazing with our dogs! I have one reactive dog who is nervous around new people, and Julia was so patient with her it made drop ins very easy. Julia also took my puppy to daycare and was very flexible when my travel plans changed last minute and when my puppy needed to be picked up from daycare early. I highly recommend her to anyone with big dogs or reactive dogs or dogs in general. She’s gonna be pet sitting for us soon again and I have full confidence in leaving my dogs with her!!!
Colette was great. Since this was her vist time watching Pippa, she made time for a meet and greet the day before. Pippa warmed up to her right away. Colette arrived on time and Pippa was happy to see her again. We were sent pictures and notes during the sitting that were reassuring. Colette followed all our instructions and we will call on her again.
Caitlin was a wonderful sitter! She was able to care for our two cats last-minute, and I truly appreciated the way she gave our Chloe girl play and pets. She successfully found our scaredy-boy Oatis hiding under a bed so we were assured he was doing just fine. Water, food and litter boxes were all refreshed daily. And she handled our sticky front door! I would love to book Caitlin the next time we go on vacation. She gave us peace of mind and beautiful pictures.
Llewyn is simply the best. They are kind and patient with my shy kitties and even managed to get a close up photo of my little feral kitty! They were flexible and responsive and this kept me confident the cats were well cared for while I was away. I will rebook with them for sure!
