“Jen was an exceptional sitter for my cat! She was great at communicating and kept our apartment clean and tidy. On top of the normal care I asked for her to do, she went above and beyond by cleaning my cat’s face and brushing him. I loved that she sent videos during her visits. I would definitely book with her again!”

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.

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: My first “job” was dog sitting when I was in first grade. I included snuggling them every night in my promise to owners, and to this day nothing has changed. I work at the children’s hospital as a pediatric audiology extern from 7:30 am-6 pm every day. I would love to dog walk on weekday evenings and I am available to pet sit and dog walk on weekends. Pets’ safety is always the number one priority. With me, your pet will never be unattended or in dangerous situations. I also value other people’s space and home.
“Gabriela was wonderful with drop in visits for our dogs during recent travel. I felt comfortable knowing the dogs were well cared for by someone who was kind and understanding of their particular needs.”

“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”

“Carole has always been extremely thorough and responsive when she’s taken care of our cat! Our cat can be territorial and anxious when we’re away, and she’s navigated these behavioral challenges with great communication & patience, adapting her care plan to ensure our kitty is as comfortable as possible. It’s a big relief to know we can trust her when we’re on vacation.”

“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.”

“Jess was available with only a few days notice and was very prompt with all responses while scheduling. While last minute isn’t how I like to roll, our holiday plans changed unexpectedly. She did a great job with my instructions caring for our senior cat and left everything in perfect order. I’d recommend her without hesitation!”

About: I am a people and pet person! Growing up with animals, and sitting neighbors’ dogs and cats, I feel confident and comfortable taking care of other’s pets. I prioritize getting to know their personality to best meet their unique needs and match their energy! I am currently a full time student with flexible availability. I love long dog walks, staying in to provide good company, and other potential opportunities to meet your care needs. I am attentive, organized, and lead with communication. It is important to me for your pet to feel cared for, quirks and all! I love to share lots of photos during our time together. I currently have no pets of my own.
“Emily was fantastic. Very friendly, and comforting- my cats loved her right away. Her updates were wonderful, and she went above and beyond cleaning a hairball 😭. Highly recommend ☺️”

“Leah is a cat whisperer. She does such a great job of giving my pet the medication he needs when I'm away. It makes me feel at ease knowing he will does well in her hands. Very reliable.”

“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.”


“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!”

“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!”


“Alan is an incredibly thoughtful and considerate pet sitter. We went on vacation for a couple of weeks and were worry-free due to Alan’s responsive communication and reliability. It’s clear he takes his role seriously. We are so grateful to have hired him. He is a trustworthy and kind individual!”

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!

I was very pleased with Joseph’s reliability and concern for my cat Rhiannon during my recent two-day trip away. Rhiannon is not at all used to me being absent more than part of a day, and she’s easily stressed out. Joe proved to be a reliable, concerned and calming presence, very involved in trying to insure her well-being. He stayed in regular and detailed contact with me. When I got home she seemed very calm and happy to see me again, not at all stressed. I’m sure establishing a rapport with her was not simple, but Joe handled his first caretaking experience of her with responsibility and grace. Would hire him again anytime.
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!

Yunwen was great with our cat, Nemo. She sent regular updates and communicated proactively. I was grateful when she was able to accommodate an additional drop-in after we had last-minute changes to our travel plan. I recommend her 100%, as she was reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy.

Sarah is always incredibly professional, communicative, and gives the best drop-in notes and photos! Always our go-to when we need someone to take care of our two cats and dog. Extra bonus points for always being able to medicate the weirdest, feistiest cat in the world!!!

I would strongly recommend Abigail to everyone! She was extremely thorough when asking about all of our pet’s needs. She was prompt, communicative, and exceptionally friendly with us. Plus, it is so apparent how much compassion and love she has for animals. Will definitely be hiring Abigail in the future. 10/10.

Alan is an incredibly thoughtful and considerate pet sitter. We went on vacation for a couple of weeks and were worry-free due to Alan’s responsive communication and reliability. It’s clear he takes his role seriously. We are so grateful to have hired him. He is a trustworthy and kind individual!

I can’t say enough good things about Mika! Having someone come into your home and care for your pets requires a lot of trust, and she have exceeded every expectation. Mika is reliable, communicative, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. Frank & Harold were happy, well cared for, and comfortable in their own environment while I was away, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. I appreciated the updates, photos, and attention to detail, and it was obvious that my dog received plenty of love and attention. Coming home to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home was the best feeling. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be using her again!
