Sarit is absolutely wonderful and i’ll continue to book with her until I no longer can! She took such good care of my two kittens while I was away for a whole week. Communication is always super prompt and efficient. She follows all of my instructions and takes so many adorable photos every time she visits. I can tell the fur balls love spending time with her. She truly goes above and beyond.

Athena was great. She took care of our two cats while we were away. She did drop in visits, and gave one of the cats his inhaler. She was friendly and professional, and even our shy cat likes her. Thank you!

Sarah was amazing! She checked in on our dog twice a day and sent me pictures and messages each time letting me know how my dog and the house was doing. I will definitely reach out to her for future needs for our dog. 😊

About: I’ve taken care of animals for most of my life. I have experience with many different types of personalities and behaviors, ensuring that I know how to handle almost any situation. I’m currently in school but I do enjoy spending time with animals any chance I get. I’m available on weekends and the evenings throughout the week. I have two dogs, I make sure to take them out for walks multiple times a week. When we aren’t able to go out I like to play with them in my backyard and sometime in the house. Every once in a while I spend the week teaching them a new trick to keep them active and engaged.

We appreciate everything about the care you gave our kitty while we were out of town. You showed an interest in all the details of our cat's needs, including her routine, feeding schedule and emotional care. It was especially appreciated that you noticed she was a bit stressed at first and you adjusted her feeding schedule to give two smaller meals rather than one meal all at once during each visit. This is exactly what she needed, thanks to your for natural intuition.

About: Hi, I’m Regina! I’m new here, but I'm a responsible and caring animal lover with experience housesitting and pet sitting for friends, referrals, clients and fellow travelers through Couchsurfing. With over 60 trusted references from people around the world, I understand the importance of reliability when it comes to caring for your pets and home. I’ve traveled to over 30 countries, volunteering on farms and housesitting along the way. While I can’t have my own pet right now, I’d love the opportunity to care for yours—whether it’s for walks, playtime, or overnight stays. If you're looking for a dependable sitter who will treat your pets like family, let’s connect! 😊 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to give your pets the attention they deserve. I prefer housesitting, and I offer discounts for long-term stays. Since I love exploring new places, I’m open to sitting further from my location, especially if it means spending quality time with your furry friends! I’m all about spending time outdoors, so if your dog loves hikes or beach walks, I’m your person! I’m also a big fan of cats and will make sure they get plenty of attention, whether it's playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them comfortable and well-fed. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure your home stays safe and secure while you’re away. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy sitter, let’s connect! Your pets’ safety and your trust are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions to keep your pets happy and secure while treating your home with respect. You can count on me to create a secure, loving environment while you’re away.

Tammy was an in-house cat sitter for my two cats while my wife and I were on vacation. She always came in to ensure my two kitties were okay. Whenever we're on vacation, we worry about our kitties' well-being, but Tammy always helped us understand what was happening through clear communication. We asked her for updates and pictures, which she consistently provided. We appreciate her help each time.

About: Ive grew up with dogs since I was a little girl and always cared for them. Friends and family have relied on me to care for pets while they were gone which included: feeding, walking, playing, and looking after them. My son also loves animals and would love to have a buddy to play with since we cannot have one full time. We will treat your pet like family and take extra good care of them (: I work from home so am available all day to care for pets and take them out frequently. I go for walks daily and could bring your buddy along with me for some exercise. I live in a pet friendly apartment and have parks nearby to take them to and walk or go for potty breaks as well. We have grass areas where pets can roam around and the apartment is gated.

Sierra took wonderful care of our two pups, one of which needs medication twice daily. They are high energy and Sierra handled them like the professional she is. We're so appreciative they could stay home (instead of boarding them)! Thank you again, Sierra! ????

Catherine took such good care of our two bunnies while we were on vacation! This was my first time using Rover, and she helped make the process super easy. She was so patient and kind (even when the bunnies made a big mess!) She also provided thorough updates, lots of photos, and sweet notes that we really appreciated. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much Catherine!

I actually hired Jennifer to drop in twice while I was on vacation to feed my fish. I have two tanks, one with a few cichlids and a smaller tank with community tropical fish and I was worried about leaving them for 13 days. Jennifer came to check out the tanks and I left pre-portioned out food for the tanks for the two visits and instructions to top off the tank if the water level got too low. Everything worked out perfectly and she sent me photos of the tank and fish to assure me that everything looked good. I got home to healthy fish in a clear tank and was able to enjoy my vacation that much more, knowing that I didn't have to worry about them. Thanks!
