“We absolutely loved having her!!! She went above and beyond for our cat, took the best photos, and even watered our plants and took our mail in and cleaned up potty messes! So great to communicate with!!”

“Tiffany cared for my two cats while my pup and I went camping for a weekend. I had no service during the entire trip, which would normally make me feel anxious about leaving pets at home, but I was confident that they were in good hands! Once I got service again, I caught up on all the detailed updates Tiffany provided about my happy kitties.”

“Mikayla is the best! Sultan loves her and he’s always so much more calm after she visits while I’m gone. She even helps refresh his bone broth when it runs low 😆”

“This is our first time hiring Crystal. Feeding our cats is kind of crazy/complicated. However Crystal did a great job with that and everything else. Sent texts and pics each day. We will definitely hire her in the future.”

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life—I grew up with two sweet pups, Maggie and Milly, and that’s where my passion for pet care began. Over the past four years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of dogs, each with their own personality and needs. Whether your pup is playful and energetic or older and needs a gentler approach, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine love to every visit. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family! I work from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. with a lunch break around 2 p.m., which gives me flexibility to incorporate pet care throughout the day. I’m happy to adjust my schedule as needed to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. While I’m not able to offer pet sitting in my apartment, I’m more than happy to come to your home to care for your beloved pet. Whether it’s staying overnight or dropping in for walks, playtime, or feeding during the day, I’ll make sure your fur baby feels safe, loved, and well cared for.
“This is my first time having Layne check in on my pet and she was great! She came and met him before and was nothing short of excellent for check-ins. My pet has specific needs and she was able to meet them with no issues. I would highly recommend Layne!!”

About: We go by Gin (Virginia) and Jack (Kandiack), and we’re a husband-and-wife team who share a deep love for animals. We understand that every pet has a unique personality—from confident, social dogs and cats to shy or anxious pets who need extra patience and reassurance. A few years ago, we bought our home and discovered a large population of unaltered feral cats in the neighborhood. We stepped in to have them spayed and neutered, provided food and shelter, and slowly earned their trust. Over time, they became part of our family. That experience deepened our understanding of patience, routine, and the difference consistent, gentle care can make. Our hands-on experience includes: * Caring for shy, anxious, and semi-feral cats. * Building trust at each pet’s pace without forcing interaction. * Maintaining familiar feeding, walking, playtime, and litter box routines. * Offering companionship to pets who feel lonely or stressed. * Administering medications and following special diets and individualized care instructions. Gin is certified in pet first aid and CPR through the American Red Cross. We carry our own insurance and are bonded, and we’re happy to provide additional details upon request. We know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. We take time to learn their routines, preferences, and little quirks so we can help them feel comfortable and secure. Our goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets are receiving the same patience, attention, and love we give our own. Pet care is a regular part of our daily routine. I work from home and set my own schedule, giving us flexibility to coordinate visits and stays around your cats’ needs. Together, we plan our availability to provide dependable feeding, medication, playtime, and companionship while keeping your cats’ familiar routines consistent. We’re available for weekday, weekend, and overnight care, with last-minute requests welcome when our schedule allows. We provide attentive care in your home, where your pets can enjoy familiar surroundings and routines. We follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter box care, and each pet’s individual needs. For households with multiple pets, we take time to understand their relationships, separate feeding arrangements, and how each one prefers to receive attention. We build trust patiently, using approved treats or favorite toys without forcing interaction. Our experience with rescue and shy cats has taught us the importance of consistency, gentle care, and respecting each animal’s space. We watch for changes in appetite, behavior, and litter box use, communicate concerns promptly, and share updates and photos. We also take care to prevent escapes, secure doors, and follow your home access instructions. Gin is certified in pet first aid and CPR through the American Red Cross, and we carry our own insurance and are bonded. Your pets’ safety and comfort—and your peace of mind—guide our care.

“Once again we were extremely happy with the care that Meghan provided for our kitties! She sends wonderful photos and updates daily which give us peace of mind. We highly recommend her and will be sure to call on her again when we are in need. Thank you Meghan!”


“Morgan was awesome! So awesome that when I got home from my trip my cat had learned how to speak English so he could tell me how awesome she was and how she not only fed him, played with him, and gave him his treats, but how he was mildly disappointed with me returning because he enjoyed her company so much! She’s now hopefully gonna be my go-to whenever I’m traveling!”

“Adrianna is by far the best cat-sitter. She is incredibly thoughtful and caring. Her check-in’s always give me peace of mind that my fur babies are happy and healthy when we are away! Thank you BUNCHES, Adriana, for always taking the best care of our kitties! 😻😻”

“We booked Alisa for a long trip we had planned. (9 days) From the very first meet & greet, my kitties were relaxed, curious and friendly with her. She did an awesome job. She arrived on time, and from the photos, I could see the cats were curious and slowly getting to know her. She gave me just enough little commentary to know all was well and to bring me a few smiles. She reached out with a couple of relevant questions. She also made our homecoming so great...all the trash was taken out, she vacuumed up the kitty litter that they always spill out, and it was clear that they were happy campers. Thanks so much Alisa, we look forward to having you back when we travel again.”

“Adia is absolutely amazing! She helped me out super last minute and took such great care of my cat. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and gave me so much peace of mind knowing my kitty was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would trust her to watch my cat again!”


“This was my first time to use Rover and it worked out great! Stephani took good care of my kitty and my fish! I appreciate the updates and I would definitely use Rover and Stephani again in the future!”


About: Let me take of care your pups! I have over 15 years of dog experience and love spending time with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have a 4yr old Standard Poodle who loves dogs of all sizes. I love hiking in the foothills and prefer to take pups with me. If foothills aren't for your pup, I am happy to do nice long walks, play fetch, or just provide some attention and love. I'm a trained groomer and have experience with a variety of dog breeds, temperaments, and any special need requirements. Let me know what your schedule is and I will be more than willing to accommodate. I am professional, responsible, and dependable. I look forward to hearing from you! I currently work remote most of the time, so this ensures your dog(s) will not be left alone for long periods of time. I enjoy spending time with dogs and will provide a safe and relaxing environment while they’re in my care. I live in a house in the North End with a very large fully fenced backyard so your pup is sure to get plenty of fresh air.

“Elise has been taking care of my cats for four years. She is consistent, dependable, and trustworthy. One of my cats can be fearful of strangers but he warmed up to her immediately. She takes a huge weight off my shoulders any time I travel. 5/5 stars!”

Christin is amazing! One of my dogs can take a while to warm up to new people and she warmed up to Christin right away. She provides great pictures/ comments about her drop-in visits and communicated really well. She gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was out of town and I would give her more than 5 stars if I could!

I am so lucky I found Meghan! She took fantastic care of my 6 year old cat, who warmed up to her very quickly. When I returned home it was clear my cat was well taken care of and happy. She also brought in some packages for us! I would recommend Meghan to anyone. I will certainly book her again.

Alinda was great! This was my first experience booking with Rover, and she did not disappoint. She watched my two cats while I was out of town and followed all of my instructions, which was so important for my cat with health issues. She was punctual, flexible, communicated frequently, respectful of my home, and very attentive to my cats. I will definitely be booking with her again!

Heidi did an absolute fantastic job watching my cat while I was traveling out of the country. She stayed with my cat as long as I had asked her to, communicated extremely well, provided frequent and thorough updates on how my cat was doing, and sent daily photos. Making sure she was up to speed on what my pet needed was a breeze, as she was attentive and genuinely cared about the well-being of my cat. She’s friendly and my very nervous girl did so great with her! I would 100% hire Heidi again the next time I need a sitter!

I'm giving Alie 5 Stars only because 10 Stars is not an option. She's the best sitter I've had by far. Always on point with pix, care and communication. She's now my "go-to" sitter. If you're seeking someone who is thoughtful, professional, and trustworthy, she's the best. Full stop!

Phoenix (Lea H.) did a great job checking in on my new puppy while I was gone for a couple of hours. This was the first time I would be absent from the house in the two weeks since I have had him and I was very anxious about leaving my 10-week old puppy alone in his crate. Phoenix put me at ease with her knowledge of "all things puppy" and her pleasant, quiet demeanor. I was especially grateful she sent me a picture of my sweet Bobby, and kept me informed of his activities. All things seemed to go quite well and I am much relieved. I would definitely ask Phoenix (Lea) to watch him again.

Our go-to sitter. She takes such good care of our (very clingy and needy) two cats. Even when we're gone on long trips, I know they're well taken care of and can rest easy. Sam is always on top of communicating with us about the boys (our cats) and sends us soooo many beautiful photos so we can see how they're doing and what they've been up to while we're gone. HIGHLY recommend this gem of a sitter 🧡
