Absolutely amazing from start to finish! She took the time to do a meet and greet to meet our goldendoodle peaches. Asked questions about how we were transitioning her kibble and gave loving care to our puppy while we were away at work. Her reports are detailed with videos and pictures of all the fun they had and she even offered to clean my floors when they got dirty from the salt on our sidewalk from the snow storm we had last week. You will not regret booking her!

About: Of course I love animals, but what matters more to me is noticing who your pet actually is. Are they the kind of dog who needs to sniff the same corner for five minutes before moving on? Are they a little shy at first and pretending not to care? Do they get excited easily and need someone calm around them? Are they a cat who wants company, but absolutely not too much company? I really enjoy figuring out those little things. I’m gentle, patient, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. I don’t believe in rushing them or treating every animal the same. Some pets need play and attention, some need slow walks and quiet reassurance, and some just need someone kind nearby so the house does not feel empty. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that still feels familiar to them. I’m also very careful with instructions. Feeding routines, medications, walk preferences, favorite toys, things that scare them, how they like to be greeted, whether they are allowed on the couch. I want to know all of it. I know these details are not “extra.” They are usually the things that make a pet feel secure. I’ll also send updates and photos, not just to say everything is fine, but so you can actually feel connected to them while you are away. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, may also help me sometimes, and you may see her in some of my photos. She has had pets since childhood and fostered animals for several years, so she is very used to different personalities, nervous pets, affectionate pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. She is calm, loving, and very responsible, and I trust her completely with animals. Between the two of us, your pet will be cared for by people who genuinely like being around animals, but who also understand that trust matters. I’ll treat your pet with warmth, patience, and care, and I’ll treat your home and instructions with respect. This year, much of my work is remote, which gives me real flexibility in my schedule. That means I’m able to spend unrushed, attentive time with pets, not just quick check-ins, but actual companionship, care, and presence. I can shape my day around walks, visits, feeding times, play, and quiet company, depending on what each pet needs. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, who is included in the pictures, also helps me out with my Rover schedules. My home is my cat Lilo’s safe little kingdom, so I can’t host other pets here. But I’m very happy to come to your home, meet outside for walks, or figure out a setup that feels easy and comfortable for you and your pet.

Paz was very responsible and timely. She showed kindness to the cats, cleaned up after them, made sure they had food and water. One of my cats needs a medicated eye-drop regularly and Paz was confident in her ability to administer the eye-drop. I would hire her again.

About: Currently accepting new clients!!! Hello! My name is Khai. I am currently a college student (online - so I am often available) studying Engineering and available for cat sitting. My nickname is Kitty and some of my friends called me "Kitty Khai Khai" since I'm very affectionate with kitties ​and I happen to get along with shy, anxiety fueled, or aggressive kitties. I'm originally from Myanmar. Back home at my parents', we end up adopting lots of street cats over 20 years since they happened to stop by and end up living at our house. My parents has raised cats like their own grand children, so I grew up nurturing cats including their kitten babies and senior cats. I handle kitties gently with love and great care, and am very attentive to their needs. I understand how cat parents feel while you're away from your cats; I'm here to make sure you could enjoy your trip while knowing your kitties are well cared for and in safe hands. The well being, happiness and comfort of your kitty is my top priority! I hope to adopt my own cat in the city when I finally finished college... but for now I will get some kitty time in watching and caring for yours! :) Also, I am fully vaccinated + booster shot!! I wash hands before feeding/ touching the kitties and wear a mask when pick up/ drop off at my home and in clients' home. Regular check in/ check out time for kitties are after 4 pm, but I am willing to work with you depending on your needs. 😊 I offer boarding at my home and visiting client's home for drop in services. I have no children and no pets at my home. It has been my life long dream to have a kitty hotel where a kitty guest can enjoy their stay with lots of pets and attention from me and have all the cat trees, toys and amenities. When I was in the house buying process, I chose this home specifically, since it’s spacious for kitties to roam around and lots of windows with sunlight where kitties can enjoy watching outside. I have set it up as a kitty hotel where it’s a vacation place for kitties to chill and relax and spend time with me. My home sweet home is located in a cozy neighborhood and completely safe and warm environment for kitties. Kitties are never allowed outdoors.

About: My sincere enthusiasm and practical expertise with dogs of all ages and demands are what make me unique as a dog sitter. I've been taking care of friends' and family's dogs for more than two years, making sure they were content, protected, and loved while their owners were gone. Additionally, I've volunteered at a number of animal shelters, where I've learned how to deal with dogs of all temperaments and needs—from energetic pups to elderly dogs in need of more care and attention. I've loved dogs my entire life, and I know how important it is to treat each one as though it were my own. I'm here to provide dependable, caring care that is customized to your dog's needs, whether it be companionship, following a training schedule, or making sure your dog is active and comfortable. As a college student, pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I have regular breaks throughout the day and a very flexible schedule. Whether it’s between classes or after school, I can dedicate my time to caring for your dog, ensuring they get the attention and care they need. My frequent trips back and forth from school give me the opportunity to check in on your pet multiple times a day if needed, making it easy to accommodate walks, feeding, playtime, and more. I’ve designed my schedule to prioritize flexibility, allowing me to provide reliable, loving care for your furry friend whenever it’s needed. I keep homes clean, maintain pets' routines, provide basic grooming if needed, and ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved during my care always!

Ana was absolutely incredible. I’m so grateful for her. She took care of our elderly, diabetic cat Hannah (who also has CKD) while my partner and I were away. Ana expertly administered the plethora of medications (oral and injectable) and checked Hannah’s blood glucose via glucometer. She was also extremely patient when feeding her and cleaned up after Hannah had a couple accidents in her bed. I was especially appreciative of Ana’s flexibility and attention to detail when Hannah’s needs changed shortly before my trip after we had booked. Ana was very communicative as well and sent us plenty of updates and pics during her check-ins. I would recommend Ana to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter who can manage complex cats like my own. A million thank you’s to Ana and I will definitely book with her again!

This was our first time working with Raquel, and it went very well. She stopped by to spend an hour with our two dogs, Tate and Penny, well also feeding them and giving them lots of love. Raquel was very good communicator, was on time, and provided photographs of her time with our dogs. We are really excited that we found Raquel and look forward to having her spend more time with our dogs, Tate and Penny in the future. If anyone’s looking for a five star Pet Sitter on Rover Raquel‘s your gal!

Michael is amazing! He goes above and beyond and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with him dropping in a few times a day. I have never left my dog with someone I didn’t know. He sent pictures during all of his visits and even bought my big guy a new toy which has become his favorite! Michael also took my recycling bins out just to be kind. Truly above and beyond. Thank you for giving my family peace of mind knowing our dog was safe and cared for so we could enjoy vacation!

Barbara and Austin were fantastic with our cats, Baylor and Bentley. I take my cats' care very seriously, and this was the first time I had ever hired a petsitter outside of family. They came by a few weeks ahead of time to meet us, and more specifically, our cat Baylor, who is diabetic and on a strict care routine. By the end of our meeting, I was confident that my boys would be in good hands. And they were! During their visit, Baylor safely received his glucose check, feeding, and medicine. What impressed me even more was that they managed to win over Bentley, who is extremely shy and almost never comes out for strangers. The fact that he felt comfortable enough to come out for them speaks volumes. I was genuinely surprised. Bentley is usually afraid of his own shadow. Barbara was very responsive to all of my messages, and also sent an update with photos after their visit. She and Austin are reliable, patient, and kind. Most importantly, Baylor and Bentley were comfortable, too! They will certainly be our first choice the next time we need a reliable caregiver for our boys.

Patricia took wonderful care of our three cats, Siggi, Phyllis, and Butchie, while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and communicative, and her updates gave us great peace of mind throughout our trip. It was clear how much love and attention she gave our cats, and knowing they were in such kind and capable hands allowed us to fully enjoy our time away. We returned home to happy, well-cared-for pets and could not be more grateful. We highly recommend Patricia and would gladly trust her with our cats again. Thank you, Patricia, for your exceptional care and kindness!

Another amazing experience having Spencer watch our cats. Every visit included the full 30 minutes, thoughtful summaries, and lots of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while away. Litter boxes and cat bowls were cleaned diligently every day, and Spencer was incredibly patient and creative with our more temperamental cat. Loving, responsible, and professional, cannot recommend enough!!! Thank you
