“Mitchell was great with both of my doggies! Met the day before service after flying back into town. Thank goodness he was available at a moment’s notice. Bosco can be “barky” but Mitchel was patient with him and even brought treats with him.. He checked in, fed them and cleaned any “messes” (thank you!!) . He keep me updated on arrival and departure times. Sent pics and kept me informed of what was happening. Highly recommend and will be using his services in the near future!! Thank you Mitchell”
“We booked a sitter through Rover for the first time for a long time period and were a little nervous about leaving Missy alone, but Xiaoyu was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, she made sure Missy felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Xiaoyu followed all the instructions we discussed and truly went above and beyond to make sure Missy didn’t miss us. After just a few visits, it was clear that Missy looked forward to seeing her, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend Xiaoyu to anyone looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and caring sitter—and a true friend—for their fur baby. 🐾💛”
“Logan was an excellent cat sitter for our 2 young cats, dropping in to take care of them for a week+ trip. He is trustworthy and responsible; his genuine love for cats means he will really care for them and he was respectful of the house, keeping it neat and as-is. He went above and beyond for our cats, providing them with extra affection and playtime rather than just dropping in to scoop litter and check on food/water. We were also given lots of photos and notes about how they were doing, it was as stress-free as a trip away from pets could be!”
“Yongxin was very good at watching our cat for 5 days. Because our cat is elderly, there required meds to be administered. We had printed instructions which were very well executed. The communication was also very efficient. She replied in a timely manner. I also liked seeing the daily pictures of the well being of our cat. Yongxin is very professional and efficient, yet caring with good instincts. I would call on her again!”
“I am very pleased with the dog watching services Shiyin provided. She provided perfect care for my elderly dog who needs a little extra attention due to his age.. She took many pictures and stayed in communication which put me at ease as this was my first time using Rover. I will definitely rebook her.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I've been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Our 5 children have grown and living on their own, so I currently have my sweet 2 dogs, Chica & Luna, who keep life fun, active, and full of love. In addition to my experience with pets, I've taught preschool and first grade, where safety, patience, and attentive care were always top priorities. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and can comfortably administer oral medications when needed. I truly enjoy caring for pets of all personalities, whether they're social and energetic, calm and relaxed, or a little nervous and shy. With a gentle demeanor and a strong understanding of animal body language, I take the time to build trust and help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. During my first year of retirement, pet care fits naturally into my flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care while enjoying creating fine art on the side. I provide attentive care for pets in their own home, helping maintain their normal routine, comfort, and security. I can assist with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, oral medications, and keeping pets happy and relaxed while their owners are away.
“Megan was a wonderful pet sitter, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again! We booked pretty last minute for a trip. She was super responsive and made time to come meet us and our kitty, and we were confident we were leaving things in good hands. We got regular updates and photos and it was clear that Megan and our kitty enjoyed their visits together.”
“Thank you for taking care of our kitty! This is the second time Leilani has taken care of our pet, and she is great at leaving us updates and pictures, even if the kitty is reluctant to come out. Thank you!”
“We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care our cat, Milo, has received from Yanhong. She has been attentive, compassionate, and professional throughout her time looking after him. Not only does she ensure Milo’s physical needs are met—feeding, refreshing his water, grooming, and playing with him—but she also pays close attention to his mental well-being, keeping him comfortable and happy. What we especially appreciate is how regularly she updates us on Milo’s condition, sharing detailed notes and photos that give us peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about Milo and treats him like her own pet. We highly recommend Yanhong to anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and responsible cat sitter.”

We are living in a single house with a large yard, dogs can run and play around in the back yard even in raining day.
“Bailey was very good with our cats, she went above and beyond with plant care too. I’ll definitely approach her again when I have to leave home for extended periods of time. She’s punctual and dedicated, my cats love her too”
About: With over five years of pet care experience, I got used to pet sit both in France and California. Taking good care of all kind of pets, i know how to adapt and build trust. I offer personalized attention and gentle handling to ensure their comfort and well-being. My commitment to building strong bonds with pets goes along with my flexibility in meeting individual needs. As a 9-to-5 worker in a pet-friendly office, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for walks and visits before and after work, as well as in the evenings and on weekends. This allows me to give your pet the attention and care they deserve without feeling rushed. Whether it’s a morning stroll or an evening play session, I’m dedicated to making your pet's routine as comfortable and enjoyable as possible! ( I can bring your pet along if they’re comfortable in an office environment!) I prioritize safety and trust in every pet care situation, whether at my home or yours. In my home, I have a secure space free from hazards, with cozy areas for relaxation and play. I ensure all pets have access to fresh water, and I keep a consistent routine to help them feel comfortable. At your home, I respect your pet’s environment, maintaining their usual routines and providing a familiar atmosphere. I always take the time to discuss any specific needs or preferences, ensuring your pet feels safe and loved. Regular updates and communication are also key (i love sending pictures!), so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands!
“What a God send Sandra is. I am halfway across the world and the way she cares for my fur baby brought me peace of mind. So glad to have found her and I’m sure my Loki boy feels the same way.”

Dougherty cat parents share their Rover experiences
Highly recommended! Exceptionally professional and caring. Shiyin provided top-notch care for my cat. She was punctual, highly communicative, and followed all feeding and care instructions perfectly. My cat warmed up to her almost instantly. Look no further if you want peace of mind while you are away. 5 stars all the way! Thank you for your service.

Anna went above and beyond caring for all four of our babies, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She is warm, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to the animals in her care. What really stood out was her flexibility — when I reached out outside of our scheduled appointment times needing help with my cats, she didn’t hesitate and accommodated us without missing a beat. That kind of responsiveness and reliability is rare and means the world to a pet parent. Anna took the time to understand all of our specific care needs and handled everything with such grace and professionalism. We felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in her hands. Highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!
As always, Dakota took fantastic care of our kitties while we were out of town. We’ve been happy clients since 2024 and honestly wouldn't trust anyone else. I especially love his prompt responses and the consistent report cards—the photos always put our minds at ease! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.
Sierra watched our 3 cats for two weeks, she is the best and it was such a relief while we were gone to have somebody we trusted watching and taking care of our cats. Sierra is friendly, professional, flexible, and was the best with our cats. Throughout the entire process, Sierra responded quickly to all of our messages and questions. For each visit we received great updates, and pictures of our cats. It was a relief to know that our cats were being taken care of by somebody who truly cared, and someone that we could trust! Our situation with our 3 cats was a lot of work with all the maintenance of the food, water and liter, along with our cat that has FIV and was injured and needed extra care and monitoring. On top of that, there were some last minute changes with our setup that Sierra handled easily too. We would absolutely book Sierra again, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive cat sitter!
