“Amazing!!! First experience with Rover and Mallory was amazing!!! From my first impression at the meet n’ greet to the very end of our vacation I felt confident and assured that my baby would be taken care of. Mallory is warm and bright. I loved all the pictures and videos of my Tank Tank while I was away from him. 5 stars!! Very happy, will hire again and highly reccomend!!”
“Jasmine was very good with Oliver. She came over prior to our departure to get the particulars, she showed up on time and took care of our doggo. I was weary about using this app having a stranger in my home. But I must say Jasmine was deluge and I look forward to utilizing her services in the future.”
“I knew right away that my cat would be well cared for with Emma. It gave me comfort knowing that he was safe and happy with her while I was on vacation. She was also accommodating when my flight was delayed and didn’t hesitate to offer to extend her services another day. She was amazing and I will definitely be requesting her again! Thanks Emma :)”
About: With extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, I specialize in providing structured, stress-free care tailored to each animal's unique needs. What sets me apart: Puppy Care: I have the patience and consistency required to help reinforce potty training, crate routines, and basic obedience for young, high-energy pups. Senior Care: I am deeply compassionate and detail-oriented, making me highly capable of managing strict feeding schedules, administering medications, and providing the gentle, slow-paced care older pets need. Dependability: I am punctual, highly communicative, and strictly follow all care instructions provided by owners to ensure a seamless transition for your pets. Pet care fits seamlessly into my week. I prioritize the pets I watch by adapting my daily schedule to match their established home routines. Whether you need regular weekday drop-ins, weekend care, or extended visits, I dedicate ample time each day to ensuring feeding stations are clean, medications are administered on time, and your cats get plenty of attention and playtime. If your pet stays in my home, they will be entering a thoroughly pet-proofed, secure, and clean environment. I am highly safety-conscious, meaning all potentially hazardous materials are securely stored, and exterior doors and windows are strictly monitored to prevent any escapes. I provide plenty of safe, quiet spaces for pets to retreat and relax if they feel overwhelmed. I closely supervise all activities and make sure your pet has constant access to fresh water, clean litter boxes, and engaging toys in a totally hazard-free zone.
“Even with very short notice and my elder cat being fresh out of medical emergency and needing special care, Jodi jumped right on board and took great care of cat for four nights. She communicated daily and followed all instructions closely. My cat was very content and I could tell she was well-cared for when I returned. Jodi also left my apartment as tidy as she found it! I would hire her again :)”

“This is my 2nd time hiring Emma for daily drop ins on my 2 cats while I was away. She is wonderful, highly communicative, and my cats love her (my skittish one was sitting on her lap after a few days!) I recommend her to friends and will request her the next time I go out of town.”
“Elsa has watched my animals twice now and I have nothing but praise fo her attentive care. Not only for my cats but my snake as well. It's always tough finding someone brave enough to watch him and Elsa has been my savior for doing it. I wouldn't book anyone else unless she wasn't available!”

Rian was a wonderful caretaker. She sent photos and a few words about our pets every time she visited, and that helped me to have a worry-free vacation. I have every confidence in her caring for them lovingly, gently and consistently. I really appreciate her help.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
