“Pooya is a wonderful and gentle person and we know we can trust him with our cat and house while we travel. Our cat is old and generally very standoffish with everyone but has warmed up to Pooya.”
“I chose Rebecca to look after my new 6-month old three-legged kitten. Based upon her profile and our meet & greet, I felt I could count on her to take good care of my precious little guy. Rebecca is an excellent communicator and detail oriented. My kitty was happy and well cared for when I returned. I will be reaching out to Rebecca next time I have to leave my little guy at home.”
“Phuong was a fantastic pet and house sitter while we were away for two weeks. She took wonderful care of our cat, plants and reptiles! She checked in daily and was very caring and courteous throughout. We will definitely be booking with Phuong again in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Lili was so attentive to our cats and chickens while we were away. We are so grateful to her care for our animals. She followed instructions to the letter and gave great updates. Thank you!”

About: I’ve looked after dogs and cats for family and friends when they were away on vacation. Although I don’t have pets of my own, I have a deep affection for cats and small dogs. I’m new to Rover and excited to meet some new furry friends. Since I work full-time in person Monday through Friday, I am available for service during weekday evenings, weekends, and holidays. I have my own car, which allows me to commute to various locations easily. I offer a range of pet care services, including house sitting, dog walking, and quick drop-in visits. My highest priority is always the safety and well-being of the animals I care for, and I'm happy to accommodate their unique, specific needs.
“Angelina took care of our cat with diabetes while we were out for a weekend. She was detail oriented, and gave him his medication and insulin shots, along with a lot of love! She was very prompt in communication, and gave us regular updates.”
“Cyndi was such a big help when my husband and I got a new puppy. She came over twice a week for two weeks to help us give him lunch and provide some snuggles and play time. Cyndi does a great job of updating you with photos and a summary of the time she spent with our pets. She also provides a lot of great information and feedback if you have questions about a veterinarian or food products/toys. Overall, she did a lovely job and we will definitely be using her for future puppy needs?”
“Alexandra went well above and beyond what we asked her to do for our cat, as well as our fish tank and tortoise. She cleaned, took out trash, washed pet bowls, and more. She was thorough, organized, and very patient with our anxious kitty. A genuine animal lover.”
“Laurena took great care of our sweet cat, Desdemona, while we were on vacation for a week. Reports were timely and comforting given we were far from home. I would highly recommend Laurena to anyone needing superior pet care!”
“Harriet's help taking care of my 4 medium size dogs was great and without any problems. A big relief to have a close by neighbor to count on. She was very flexible on drop-in's and walk time/duration. The text and pic updates really helped ease any concerns over being away. And she even helped out longer than expected when my return travel was delayed. Will be glad to have her look after everyone any time. Thanks Harriet!”

Laurena has watched our pets a couple of times now and we're so happy to have found her. We didn't have to worry a bit about our kitties while we were away. We received updates and photos regularly and the house was in great condition when we got back. Thanks again Laurena!
I had a wonderful experience with Amelia, who took care of my cat for three weeks! She is incredibly attentive and patient. When she first arrived, my cat was very scared and hid away. However, Amelia didn't rush things at all. With her gentle approach and great patience, my cat slowly warmed up to her, and they eventually started interacting and playing together. Having her around for three weeks gave me total peace of mind, knowing my shy cat was in such loving and reliable hands. I am so glad I found Amelia on Rover, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional long-term or short-term pet sitter! Thank you so much Amelia ❤️
This was a long hall being separated from Edger for a month. Te' did a great job. So many litter box refreshes, many cans to open and serve and dental treats to dispense. All done expertly. I go home earlier than expected but no reason to adjust any payout. My place was as good as I found it and Edger actually met me at the door late in the night of my return. Thanks to Te' my month out of California ended peacefully and calmly.
Before Beatrice, I wouldn’t even dare imagine a cat-sitter so responsible and caring, and I feel so grateful that I found Beatrice! She is super friendly and kind, and very attentive to details during her visits for my cats. It’s very obvious that Beatrice truly prioritizes the needs of my cat babies, and she makes real efforts to ensure that both of my cats can have a great time. I strooooongly recommend anyone who needs a cat-sitter to consider Beatrice, and she’s simply the best ❤️
I am so thankful to have found Michael! He is absolutely extraordinary! He is very thorough and does even more than I expect every time. We have 5 cats and they all have a different personality and different needs. He is very sweet to each of them so I never worry when we are gone! I couldn’t be happier with Michael and his pet sitting qualifications, thank you again for everything you have done for my furry ones!
