“This is my 2nd time working with Lexy to watch my 2 cats. She is amazing. One cat is older and has extra needs, with feedings of twice a day. Our other baby is 2 years old and needs a lot of attention. I'm so happy with Lexy, cats were loved, cat boxes cleaned and even cat litter scoop was spotless! I received photos of her visits, playing with them and petting them and getting lots of love. I will definitely use Lexy again for the peace of mind I have when having to be away from home. I highly recommend her, she's easy to work with and dependable.”
“Rachel is great! My dogs can be pretty rambunctious, and she was super patient with them which I really appreciate. I also loved all the updates and photos she sent, as well as being super communicative with her visits.”
“Amanda was great and went above and beyond with Chopper who insisted on playing hide and seek all weekend long. She kept us well informed and was very easy to communicate with especially when we received a possible evacuation notice for a fire that was close by. We look forward to working with Amanda next time.”
About: I have two years of experience caring for pets and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, basic care, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I currently work around 30–35 hours a week, but I’m happy to provide pet care around my work schedule. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins before or after work and on my days off. I provide pet care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets have fresh food, water, attention, and a clean and safe space.
About: Ive had furry best friends since the day I was born, I know how special they are! Making other people and pets happy makes me happy. I currently have open availability, I’m taking college courses online and summer is approaching. I’m indifferent to getting up early or staying up late for pet care. I have 3 dogs, one super needy frenchie and two crazy golden retrievers. I also have a black kitty. I’ve seen it all and done it all from house sitting for weeks to a simple walk around the neighborhood.
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of experience and genuine love for animals of all shapes and sizes! I’ve had dogs since I was nine years old and have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, having had three of my own. I understand the patience, attentiveness, and extra care that older pups sometimes need. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for two years, where I gained hands-on experience working with both puppies and adult dogs, helping me become comfortable with different personalities, temperaments, and needs. As a Marine Biology graduate, I’ve also spent years studying animal biology and welfare, alongside caring for a variety of animals throughout my life, including cats, hamsters, and even tarantulas! Whether your pup is a playful puppy, a gentle senior, or somewhere in between, I aim to provide attentive, compassionate care and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every animal as if they were my own! Having recently graduated with my MSc in Marine Biology, I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to accommodate pet care throughout the week. This allows me to be flexible with walks, drop-in visits, and pet-sitting arrangements. I’m happy to work around your pet’s individual routine, whether that means morning walks, afternoon visits, feeding times, or simply providing some company while you’re away. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so daily dog walks are something I genuinely look forward to! I understand how important consistency and routine are for animals, and I’ll always aim to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and gets plenty of attention while you’re away. I primarily offer pet care in my client’s home, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routines. I take the time to understand each animal’s individual needs, personality, and schedule to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. For dogs, this includes walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, and plenty of attention and affection. For cats, I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, enrichment, and companionship while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I also have experience administering medications and caring for senior pets, so I’m comfortable following specific care instructions, dietary requirements, medication schedules, and exercise limitations. Having volunteered at an animal shelter for two years, I’m familiar with animals of different temperaments and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. I believe communication is just as important as the care itself, so I’m always happy to provide regular photo updates and messages to keep owners reassured while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and make their time apart from you as comfortable and stress-free as possible!
About: I have been a pet owner my entire life and have experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from small to large dogs. I also have experience with senior dogs, special-needs dogs, and administering medication when needed. I’m very patient and attentive with animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and completely at home while they’re in my care. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I currently have full availability for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in care. My partner and I both work from home, which means pets staying with us get plenty of attention and are rarely left alone for extended periods. Because we’re home throughout the day, I’m also able to accommodate frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication schedules, and pets who may need a little extra companionship or supervision. I live in a spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom townhouse in a gated community with a private side yard, giving your pup plenty of room to relax, play, and feel comfortable. Our neighborhood is great for walks, and there is also a dog park just up the hill for pups who enjoy some extra exercise and outdoor time. There’s plenty of indoor space for beds, toys, crates, and quiet areas for dogs who prefer having their own space.
“Anica is great!! She takes amazing care of my cat when I'm gone and I trust her completely. She was so patient and kind with my skiddish cat and Stella immediately warmed up to her! I cannot recommend Anica enough!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 6 years and I’ve been taking care of cats for over 4 years. I’ve dog sitters for family, friends, and friends of friends. I’ve done house visits and overnight stays. So I’m very familiar with taking care of pets. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I only work three days a week, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for animals on my days off (4 days a week). I enjoy planning my days around feeding, playtime, and walks, and I always make it a priority to give pets the attention and comfort they need. I’m able to adjust my schedule to keep them happy and cared for. I make sure to follow their usual routines for feeding, playtime, and rest so they feel comfortable and secure. In the past, clients have provided written instructions which make it easy to follow throughout the day. I give them plenty of love and attention, while also respecting any specific instructions from the owner. My goal is always to create a safe, calm environment where pets feel at ease. So if your pet requires specific attention, I am more than capable of following those instructions.
“Samantha is doing such a great job taking care of my cat Tyler while I’m out of town. I love the thought and attention she puts into her reviews and photos. You can tell she gets along with pets naturally. thanks Sam!”
“Kimberly is amazing as always!! Thank you for going above and beyond and for constantly keeping in touch too. Your care is very appreciated by both myself and my fur baby😊”
“The sitting with our cat went perfectly! IULIIA was very attentive, gentle, and caring. We felt completely at ease knowing our kitty were in good hands. We’d be happy to book with IULIIA again! 🔥”
“My husband and I needed someone to take care of our 2 cats (and the house) while we were away so we chose Larry, even though we read he is a big dog-lover. It goes without saying that we were nervous leaving a perfect stranger at our house with the cats, after 4 years of not leaving the house for even a single night, but having Larry over put our minds at ease. Larry has a very mellow and quiet personality, so even the skittish cat started to accept having a stranger in the house by the third day. Having someone you don't know come to stay at your house and take care of your pets will always be stressful, but I can honestly say that Larry is 100 % trustworthy when it comes to taking care of both the pets and the house. We already booked him for our next trip away and plan to use him as long as he is available.”
About: We understand it can be nerve wrecking to leave your cat with someone new. We have two cats ourselves, which we consider our kids, so we know the importance of making your pet feel safe. Moreover, we have experience in administering medications to cats, so there is no need to worry about your pet not taking their medication on time. We would love to take in your furry critter so they can hang out with ours, play with toys, get treats, and lots of love. Plenty of cat beds, a huge cat tree, and scratchers to go around. We can even drop in and spend time with your cat in the comfort of their own home. I’ve been pet sitting since I was in high school, so it’s something I’m comfortable with. We both have grown up with cats in the home. I’m working full-time and my fiancé works part-time. In between the two of us, your cat will receive lots of love and attention. Reach out for questions about our schedule. Our indoor cats have free roam of the apartment. There is a fenced balcony they can go on if they wish, but only under supervision.
“Almira did a great job sitting my cat while I was on a long vacation. She is reliable, accommadating, and communicates very well. I was able to be away without having to worry about my cat. I would definitely use her service again!”
About: Work-from-home pet lover here! My home is quiet, pet-free, and perfect for animals who need extra comfort or one-on-one attention. I adore animals of every kind and can accommodate walks, playtime, feedings, meds, and cuddles. I’m all about making pets feel safe and owners feel confident while they’re away. I work full time mostly from home! I only go to the office when we have large projects or 1 or 2 times a week. I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friend I have a fenced area for your cutie babies and will respect your space as if it was my own! Just want your animals to be happy and comfy in my care.
“Cynthia was wonderful! She was friendly, professional, and very communicative throughout my holiday trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even went above and beyond by bringing my packages inside for safekeeping. I’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
About: I’ve had very much experience sitting for family and friends pets throughout the past 6 years. I do also have experience working with animals through volunteering at an animal shelter for about a year and a half. As of now, I am working in a vet clinic as a veterinary assistant. I am working my way to become a registered veterinary technician! I do have a dog of my own, he is two years old so he is very energetic! I always make sure to take him on walks before I go to school or work! My grandparents do also have a dog which I will always check on and walk as well! Not only do I have my own personal pet care but I also care for pets while I’m working as a veterinary assistant. My dog does get his regular walks and playtime since he’s still a puppy. I always assure he’s well fed, has fresh water and will sometimes give him specific enrichment toys. I always assure the same goes for my grandparents dog, although she is on the older side, I care for her very well.

Lexi was super communicative with her post-visit, so I really was able to feel comfortable in knowing that my Lulu was being taken care of. I feel confident that when I leave for a longer trip, my kitty will be getting the care and attention she needs with Lexi.
Amanda was great and went above and beyond with Chopper who insisted on playing hide and seek all weekend long. She kept us well informed and was very easy to communicate with especially when we received a possible evacuation notice for a fire that was close by. We look forward to working with Amanda next time.

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.
