“Emma was wonderful with our cat Mimi! She sent daily photo updates that made our trip so much more relaxing, and she followed every instruction we left to the letter. It’s so reassuring to find a sitter who genuinely cares and communicates well. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for Mimi and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend!”
“We feel so lucky we found such kind wonderful people!! Our pups immediately fell in love with them, even our shy girl. Prerana and Aubrey go above and beyond with our kiddos, we’re so grateful knowing they’re being well loved and taken care of every time!”
“Cynthia was wonderful! She was friendly, professional, and very communicative throughout my holiday trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even went above and beyond by bringing my packages inside for safekeeping. I’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“This was my first time using Rover and she made it the best experience possible she went above and beyond and communication she was on time she sent pictures. She had cute commentary and honestly, our animals loved her. I can't wait for her to watch them again as she cared so much for my animals and I can't thank her enough for giving us the peace of mind while we were out of town”
“So happy Tiffany helped us out last minute. My doggies had such a good time with her, enjoying their walk and cuddle time. She took great care of them and would be happy to book her again.”
“Katherine did an awesome job taking care of our pup while we were gone for the weekend. She is very detailed and communicated everything we needed to know about Kobi. Would definitely recommend her services to anybody in need of a pup sitter!”
About: I’ve been a caretaker in one form or another since I was very young. I started as the neighborhood baby/pet/house sitter, and later became a professional nanny—where caring for children also meant caring for the family pets and homes. Although I stepped away from nannying, I still love caring for animals. I travel for work about a week out of every month, which makes having a pet of my own difficult right now, so pet sitting has been the perfect way to stay connected to animals while helping other pet parents feel at ease. I’ve been dog and house sitting for friends and referrals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, affection, attention, and reliable care. Whether your pup loves long walks, your cat loves playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and consistent companion, I’m happy to provide dependable, loving care in the comfort of their own home. I have a pretty flexible work week and I’m off on weekends. I wake up on the earlier side so I will have plenty of time to do the morning pet duties. I’m a homebody so my evenings are spent reading, catching up on work, watching tv- so that also leaves plenty of time in the evening for whatever your pet’s needs are! I do love to walk outside so hopefully your pet does too! I follow the house rules and routine to help the pets remain calm while their families are gone. I also believe consistency is key in building trust with them too. Safety first! My mother is a trauma nurse so I am always looking out for any potential danger and I’m a very cautious person.
About: Ever since I was was about 13, I've always been the person to call if someone was going out of down and they needed someone to watch their dogs. I've been able to properly care for 7 dogs at most at a time. I love dogs and will do my very best to make sure they are well taken care of. I love being outside, so I am more than willing to go outside with your dog whenever they need or want to. Making sure your dog gets as much love (if not more than) as you give them is a big priority for me. I've taken care of breeds from Chihuahuas to Saint Bernards. You can trust in me to be the best sitter for your dog.
“Erika is such an amazing sitter! We have a toddler and had to get rid of some of our usual cat toys with long ribbons for safety— Erika brought some from home to help keep our cat entertained while we were gone. We appreciate her so much!!”
“Jackie has looked in on my dog and cat a couple times now when my family is away, and I have full confidence in her. She's reliable, considerate and a pleasure to communicate with. Highly recommend!”
“Mry is very sweet , caring ,professional and thorough.. She is prompt and personable, and my 3 kitties. Casper, Jacob and Cosmo all loved her !!! Thank you Mry!! You are awesome!! Will definitely go with Mry again! She is Top Notch!”
“Brooke was absolutely amazing with our dog Cocoa! She was so thoughtful, patient, and easy to work with. She gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our travels knowing that our dog was in wonderful hands”
About: I’ve cared for my family’s and friends’ cats, so I’m well-versed in their needs—whether it’s understanding when they’re unwell, managing their urinary issues, or sticking to specific diets. I know how to support them through stress, provide the attention they crave, and I’ve even cared for a hospitalized cat post-surgery. I bring that same devoted care to your cat! I work full-time as a remote application engineer, which gives me flexibility. If your cat needs extra care or even overnight attention, I’m fully open to that. I can easily bring my laptop and internet with me and work right from your home, ensuring your cat’s comfort without any schedule conflicts. Whether in your home or mine, I adapt. If the cat is friendly with others, I can host them alongside my two gentle Persian cats, letting them bond in a stress-free way. If they prefer their own space, I’ll care for them at your home. I always let them get comfortable at their own pace, handle litter, food routines, snacks, play, and if needed, I’m happy to have them sleep nearby.

Kate was wonderful to work with when taking care of my KitKat! KitKat seemed really happy and open for pets with Kate. She was also great with giving KitKat her daily pills. Thank you again for watching her! I highly recommend Kate for watching your little ones!
Bethany was fabulous! She followed all our instructions and the kitties absolutely loved her! The best part were the photos and updates she sent after each visit which made being away from our fur babies a little easier, knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!!
This was my first time using Rover and she made it the best experience possible she went above and beyond and communication she was on time she sent pictures. She had cute commentary and honestly, our animals loved her. I can't wait for her to watch them again as she cared so much for my animals and I can't thank her enough for giving us the peace of mind while we were out of town
Kim was fantastic! She took care of my many indoor and outdoor cats with their several feeding stations., When I returned their water and food bowls were full and clean. Pictures were taken of all the feeding areas (with available cats) each day. Unasked she brought in packages that were delivered while I was gone. I especially liked the fact that she listed my instructions during our meet and greet and sent them to me to confirm. A good thing since I had forgotten one very important instruction. I will definitely use her in the future.
Minerva was incredibly responsive for our last-minute request for a daily drop-in to take care of our 2 cats. She gave great communication and cute photos of our boys to keep us feeling connected to them while we were traveling, and we came home to a clean place & happy kitties!
Erika is an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She is so patient and has a very calming presence. My cat usually ignores strangers and refuses to play with them, but took to her right away and loved playing with her! She is deeply caring and I felt so comfortable leaving my cat in her hands. Highly recommend!
Valerie is absolutely wonderful with our cat! She’s been able to watch her a few times now and Valerie is always so communicative, helpful, and takes THE BEST check in photos which really helps when we are missing our pet. From the first pet meet and greet, our cat took to her so fast and we are so happy to have found Valerie. Highly recommend!
I love booking with Eileen! She is extremely communicative and ensures that she follows my notes. Eileen also went above and beyond with my cat by trying different ways to get her to eat more. She also updated me daily about my cat’s mood and health as well. Additionally, Eileen sent lots of pictures and videos each visit, which I greatly appreciated. The videos (with lots of purring) showed me just how much my fur baby loves her. Thank you again Eileen!!
Leyla was fantastic! She not only took very good care of my two kitties (including sending detailed pictures, videos, and descriptions of her visits) but she also went above and beyond to take care of the unpredictable actions of my curious cats, too, without being asked. Extremely grateful and confident in the care for my animals while I was away. Will definitely rebook and recommend without any reservations!
