“Maryann understands cat behavior, and was patient with my shy boy. Even though he hid most of the time, she took the time to see if he'd trust her, and kept me updated on his eating and drinking so I'd know he was ok. I look forward to booking Maryann again when I need a cat carer.”
“Amanda is absolutely wonderful! She handled our cat's insulin shots like a pro, and our cat warmed up to her very easily. She was always on time, with a great attention to detail & excellent communication. I was finally able to take a vacation and actually relax knowing that our baby was in such good hands. Definitely will book again! :)”
“Tez has been absolutely phenomenal! She has cat-sat for us four times, including during our wedding, and I can't express enough how grateful we were to have her taking care of our cats. Knowing they were in such capable hands allowed us to fully enjoy our special day without any added stress. Anyone who has planned a wedding can appreciate the immense value of having one less thing to worry about.”
“Paula has a lot of experience and really knows how to handle things smartly, so I trust her. I’d feel totally comfortable leaving my beloved cat with her. I was lucky to find Paula on Rover, and from now on, she’ll always be the one I trust with my cat.”
“Another great visit from Dali! She took care of our wild bengal cats over a long weekend and made sure they were well fed and played with. We always travel stress-free knowing Dali is taking care of our boys at home. 5/5 stars!!”
“Baris was a fantastic sitter for my cat Zuko. He went above and beyond with all he had to do and more. His communication and understanding of the timings/scheduling was outstanding and he really worked to make things work with my schedule. I highly recommend him, I am sure I will book him again soon because I trust he’ll do a fantastic job. Thanks Baris, I appreciate everything you’ve done!”
“We were gone for nearly 2 weeks, and we came home to a clean house and happy cats. He was diligent about their medication schedule and feeding routine. We are satisfied with the service.”
“Skylar is probably the most experienced cat sitter you can find. She was responsive. Shared pictures and took care of my two shy cats who had never stayed outside their home. By the end of first week, one of my cats was already getting pets from her. Skylar was also very kind and adjusting with her schedule, and prioritized the well being of the animals under her care. I will definitely rebook and can’t recommend her highly enough”
“It's such a comfort and reassurance to know Geoff and Jenny are taking excellent care of our two cats when we're away. They're attentive, patient, and can deal with our senior boys' special food and medication needs without issues. I'm so happy we can count on them!”
About: I grew up with dogs in my home, and when I became a teacher over 10 years ago, I began dog walking and pet sitting for others, too, over my summer break. I have cared for dogs with a variety of needs, including high energy puppies, animals with anxiety, and elderly animals with mobility issues. As a teacher with summers off, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend as much time with your pets as is needed. We will have plenty of time for long walks, play sessions, and belly scratches. I will ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved in your home, even when you’re away. I will stick to whatever routine you’ve already established, treating your pet and your home with just as much care as you do.
“Mandi and I and Emma did a meet and greet, Mandi is absolutely very caring and a cat lover and wanting to know everything about Emma. We talked about Emma’s life as a very young cat which was one of abuse and neglect and therefore multiple serious health issues and because of her traumatic early life Emma is very shy. I know that Mandi would take the best care of Emma as she approached her with understanding and love and even though Emma kept herself partially hidden, she did not run away as Mandi’s tone was soft and loving.”
“Last week was the first time I had Andrew watch my two boys and boy am I happy that I picked him…and so are the boys! Andrew did a wonder job! He spent extra time with my cats and sent detailed updates with pics every day. He made me very secure in the knowledge that my boys were being well cared for. I look forward to having Andrew take care of my boys in the future!”
“Delaney was amazing! She was so friendly, reliable, and clearly cares about animals. She kept me updated with photos and my cats warmed up to her so quickly. She even went the extra mile to clean their food mat and offered to take out our trash so the house wouldn’t smell when we got home. I came back to happy, relaxed pets and everything spotless. 10/10 would recommend — she’s the best!”
About: I had a maltipoo who I cared for for 13 years so I am confident in caring for pups like her. I’ve also had to dog-sit some friends’ dogs who’d I bring for walks, play in the yard, and fill food and water bowls for them while gone! I generally work 3 days a week so I am looking to care and walk dogs for a couple other days during my week to fill my days. I will make sure to close all doors that I have entered and make sure the dog is back in the house before leaving. I will make sure I put everything back to where they were and fill any bowls that I am instructed to make sure the dogs are comfortable until their owners or next person comes to see them!
“My furry baby had an incredible experience. As a pet owner, I was concerned about leaving my baby in someone else’s house for a few days, but Vildan handled the transition smoothly and kept me updated with pictures. I highly recommend Vildan for future visits. 🥰”
“My dog was nervous about hanging out with a new person but Sean was so patient with her and she warmed up beautifully. His experience as a trainer showed. He communicated well. I will happily have him back next time I need.”

It was a pleasure for us to have Yong back. Certain that she was in safe hands, we left our kitten for 10 days. It was very difficult for us to be away, but we saw Ariel react with affection to Yong. He was precise, responsible, attentive to hygiene, and affectionate. We are satisfied with his work!

The best cat sitter we have had! She really got to know the cats and accommodate their moods and make sure they were well fed and loved. She kept us updated with amazing info and details. We missed out cats so much, but Victoria was the best with communication and pictures (even for our shy cat). You can definitely trust and rely on Victoria!!!!!! Thank you!
Paula is fantastic. I know you hear that quite a bit on here but, she is the real deal. When we did our meet and greet, she arrived prepared with a schedule of the times she felt would work for my Bebe's medical needs. She was spot on with her schedule. I received notifications each day telling me she had arrived and there were no deviations from our plan. Her messages during the visits gave me a lot of insight into how my pet was adjusting. I could not think of one thing that needed improvement. I will be rebooking very soon. I have finally found the sitter that puts my mind to rest.
