“Sharmily is heaven sent and if I didn’t have her I would never travel. She goes above and beyond your expectations. I feel 100% at ease knowing that she is tending after my pets. She takes tons of photos and add a nice Description of what she notices around my home and pets. She is a Rockstar!”

Megan is a great cat sitter, and highly recommend her to anyone here on Rover. Unfortunately we’re moving out of DC and will have to start all over in our new town to find a sitter as caring, respectful, and responsive as Megan. Sonny will miss you! Thanks for everything!!”
“Iris did a great job looking after my cat over the holidays!

“Keaton was absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend them enough. They are incredibly responsive/communicative and always kept us up-to-date with everything. Our cat totally loved them too. I am so appreciative of all the super cute and high quality pics of our baby with every visit. We even got some extra special photo/videos of her happily playing. It was so clear that Keaton put so much love and care into everything they did while sitting for us. I felt so at ease knowing that our baby had the attention and playtime she needed while we were away. Keaton made sure to feed her and do all the necessary caretaking items and still always took the time to play with our kitty's favorite toys and give her snuggly lap time. The pictures we got show just how much she loves Keaton and we would love to use them again whenever we can! Thank you so much!!”
“Chichi has been great. I asked her to fill in for someone else, and ended up setting up a regular drop in. She has been patient with my apartment staff, and gone above and beyond when my puppy Willow has gotten into trouble! Highly recommend 😊”
About: I have over 20 years of combined experience caring for both cats and dogs of many different ages, with some specific skills around training reinforcement for dogs. Growing up, I cared for my own cat as well as cats and dogs in the neighborhood. As an adult, I have cared for both cats and dogs and done extended house-sits for clients and friends with cats. I have my own dog, named Billie, who is an 8-year-old german shepherd/lab mix. I love animals of all kinds, and love to get to know animals and help them feel safe, cared for, and joyful/playful. I am an MSW graduate student and working part-time, and have a good deal of flexibility in my schedule. I have availability throughout the day for drop-in visits and walks, and morning/ weekend/ nighttime availability as well. My home has a fenced-in yard and is very safe and comfortable for dogs. I am conscientious and clean when spending time in the homes of clients. I will take great care of your home in addition to your animal companion!
“Laura was awesome! Super easy to communicate with, super reliable, and you could tell she really cared about our sweet girl. Felt great knowing our dog was in such good hands. We would love to have her care for Elsa again.”

Cottage City cat parents share their Rover experiences
Christina has cat-sat our 4 cats many times now, for as long as 2 weeks at a time. She's invariably prompt and dependable, and best of all, she is magic with our herd of extremely picky cats. It's nearly miraculous how she was able to gain the trust of even our most skittish scaredy cat. She's truly a gem and has our (and our cats') highest recommendation.
As always, Sydney took incredible care of our cat while we were away on vacation. We know our cat can be high energy and she has a short fuse before she gets overstimulated but Sydney handled her sassiness with grace and kindness. We also are crazy cat parents and left a LOT of instructions and tips, and it was clear Sydney read every single one, as the little points were addressed in each session’s visit comments. We also got lots of pictures every visit and our apartment was left better than we left it :) Sydney is our top choice for when we need to leave town!!
