“Lorelei was wonderful! She did a meet and greet with the kitties before her check ins and spent extra time with them to make sure they were entertained and cared for. It was such a peace of mind to know they were well cared for while I was away. Will be booking her again!”

About: I have had animals my whole life… big dogs, little dogs, cats, all of the above! I have been responsible for watching them for everything, ranging from overnight trips to midday walks and meals. I am a responsible, loving, and attentive sitter who will have the most fun with your pet❤️ I currently work a 9-5, so am free early mornings and nights. I am also open to weekend walks and over night visits, depending on your needs! I will abide by your household rules and preferences when watching your fur baby! Can do everything from feeding, playing outside, walking, and even just providing them some company!
About: I have had 4 cats and 2 dogs throughout my life. I absolutely love animals and grew up pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors!! Grew up with all kinds of pets, my personal specialty being feisty rescues. Love them all and happy to accommodate special care instructions!! I am a full-time grad student, so morning and evening visits are preferred - although I can often accommodate one lunchtime visit during the week! I care for pets in the clients home only, as I have a temperamental rescue cat at home that isn’t trusting of other animals. I am happy to accommodate special care instructions for all kinds of animals and will be sure to give lots of love every time I visit! Feedings, walks, litter pickup, play time, etc. (:
“I used Gabriela to watch my kitty and it was a very pleasant experience. Gabriela always kept me updated with each house visit and took care of all the special needs my cat had. She was also very responsive and more than willing to help out with getting the keys to my roommate, etc. I would absolutely book with Gabriela again, and you should too!”

“Yunwen was extremely responsive while setting up our drop-in visit! She also confirmed every part of our instructions while she was there, which gave us a lot of peace of mind.”

“Emily dropped in once a day to check on our two cats for several days while we were away. She is EXCELLENT with communication. We never had a doubt that our cats werent getting enough love with Emily. 10/10 would ask Emily to cat-sit again! Thanks Emily!”

“Carole always leaves detailed descriptions of each visit and takes the best photos. She is so thorough and I appreciate the affection she shows our cats. I have booked with her for over 8 trips now throughout this year and will continue to book with her.”

“Joseph is great! This was our first time using Rover. Our cat Walter loved him! Joseph was always on time and sent us photos and updates promptly! Highly recommend”

“Kelli was exactly what we are looking for! She followed all of our instructions and made some helpful suggestions that improved the life of our cat without being imposing. She even brought some new litter when we ran out! And she was able to provide insulin injections with very minor instruction. I will continue to trust her with the life and well being of our cat.”

“Jessica was very accommodating with my relatively short notice trip. One of my cats can be very shy but he felt comfortable enough to come for most of her visits. Everything looked great when I returned home. I would definitely use Jessica again!”

“Nicole is the best Rover I have used so far. She takes great pictures, writes great descriptions of quality walks, and hangs around with my dog for play and cuddles after. I can tell from the pictures my dog absolutely loves her.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, especially cats. Over the years, I have become the go-to pet sitter within my friend group and regularly care for my friends’ cats while they are away on vacation. I also grew up informally pet sitting for neighbors and friends, giving me experience caring for pets in a variety of home environments and routines. I currently care for my own cat, Reami, a 3-year-old Ragamuffin whom I have raised since he was a kitten. Reami has anxiety-related health issues that can contribute to urinary tract problems, so I am very familiar with providing attentive, patient, and consistent care for sensitive pets. Because of his needs, I understand the importance of maintaining a calm environment, monitoring behavior closely, sticking to routines, encouraging play and enrichment, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. In addition to caring for Reami, I have also helped care for my roommates’ cats in the past, including feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and general companionship. Through these experiences, I have become comfortable caring for cats with different personalities, energy levels, and temperaments — from shy and anxious cats to highly social and playful ones. While I mainly prefer cat sitting, I also have some experience with dogs, including walking friends’ dogs and taking them on hikes and outdoor outings. I am happy to provide patient, attentive care tailored to each pet’s personality and comfort level. As a sitter, I prioritize communication, reliability, cleanliness, and making sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while their owners are away. I am a graduate student whose lab is only a 15 minute walk away from home. My schedule is extremely flexible and except for few meetings throughout the week, my schedule is fully up to me. I am also able to leave at any point for short breaks to take pets out for walks/ check up on them. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. I understand that pets — especially cats — can be sensitive to changes in routine, so I do my best to keep their schedule and environment consistent while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, litter box cleaning, playtime, exercise, and any specific routines or preferences. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for. As the owner of an anxious cat with special care needs, I am very attentive to pets’ behavior, comfort, and stress levels. I value patience, cleanliness, reliability, and making sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved.
“Molly was a pleasure to work with. She quickly befriended our typically stranger-averse Shih Tzu and provided quality service. Molly was communicative and flexible - we will absolutely book again!”

“Sophia was a wonderful sitter, communicative and flexible and caring even amidst a blizzard. We’re grateful for all that she managed on behalf of our pet and home and would highly recommend her!”


“Mikayla and Justin are simply great. They took great care of my dog Thelma, who can be very skiddish as she is a rescue. Mikayla and Justin spent ample time letting Thelma warm up to them before taking her out for a walk. I would 10/10 recommend them for any pet care and I will definitely be booking them again for Thelma!”

“Diana was excellent to work with, from beginning to end. We had a relatively short timeline before going out of town but Diana was very prompt in her communication, notes about our dog and the walks they went on were clear, and we felt very comfortable with her coming into our home while away. We would definitely work with Diana again in the future. Highly recommended.”

Lorelei was wonderful! She did a meet and greet with the kitties before her check ins and spent extra time with them to make sure they were entertained and cared for. It was such a peace of mind to know they were well cared for while I was away. Will be booking her again!
Jen has now looked after two "generations" of my cats, and she seemed to know exactly what I needed to see of my kitten during my first long trip away. (Lots of amazing action shots and some videos!) I wouldn't even consider anyone else as a Rover. Thank you Jen! ❤️

Jocelyn was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my cat, Murphy, while I was away on vacation. She sent excellent updates and tons of great pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Murphy was happy and well cared for. Murphy absolutely loved her! Jocelyn really took the time to give her plenty of attention and affection and made sure she had everything she needed. It was obvious from the updates and pictures that Murphy was comfortable with her and enjoying their time together. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of Murphy. I would absolutely book Jocelyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring with their pets!

Jaqueline did an amazing job watching our cat, Juniper! I was nervous to leave Juniper while we were on vacation but Jaqueline made me feel so calm and confident. I got adorable pictures everyday and an update. Jaqueline was wonderful to work with and took great care of our little Juniper!

Katherine was amazing, especially with my senior dog! She gave him his medication at the correct time, took him on lots of walks, and dealt with his separation anxiety well. I could tell she really cared and that they both enjoyed each other's company. She sent tons of cute pictures! She also did a great job of feeding my cat, who predictably decided to hide every time Katherine visited. But she wasn't alarmed by the lack of cat sightings and just reported on her feedings and how much food she had eaten between visits. I would definitely hire Katherine to petsit again! She was great!

Liz is amazing!! Communication was super clear, and my cat seemed soooo happy and was so calm and chill when I arrived back home. This was my first time leaving my cat with someone I hadn't previously known so I was a bit anxious but Liz absolutely put my mind at ease which really helped me enjoy my trip!

This is the third or fourth time we’ve booked Mary Rose and she’s been wonderful each time. She’s very responsive, accommodating, sends great pictures, and treats our cat really well. We’re never worried when we leave him with her and appreciate everything she does to keep our little guy safe and happy. 11/10 recommend her!
