“Marie is sooo excellent! She is incredibly thorough and detail oriented. She is such a sweet person and puts a lot of care into caring for your pet. My kitty was in the best of hands and I look forward to using Marie for future trips :)”
“Jessica is my favorite cat sitter I've worked with since using Rover! She was extremely communicative, making sure I knew when she'd be over, and sent me tons of pictures/videos playing with my boys. She made an effort to accommodate my schedule with getting/returning the keys, and took the job on short notice. She even carried in a heavy Chewy package for me without me even asking her to. I will be hiring her again next time I'm out of town!”
About: I grew up on a ranch, helping to care for animals from the exotic pet trade as part of their rehabilitation. This also gave me an understanding of animal body language, respect for their quality of life, and the patience to train them. I work from home on art commissions, but love to get a chance to go outside. Because of this, my schedule is quite open and flexible for daytime. It is totally up to what the client requests for their pets care, but as per my morals, I only train pets through positive reinforcement. Patience and understanding are the core elements of how I approach animals and especially pets. At home I have a small crate and 2 small friendly dogs that free roam because they are my good little princesses.
“Glad to find someone close by able to give Kitty some affection and took care to follow instructions, left my place secure. Was my 1st time using Rover! would use again”
“Kennedy was excellent with my adult cat—who can be a bit picky. My cat warmed up to her right away. Kennedy has great attention to detail and will make your pet as comfortable as possible while you’re away.”
“Samantha was super great caring for our kitty, Leo, in our home. She showed up as scheduled and sent many pics and vids of her visits. She responded to messages very quickly and was so helpful caring for Leo. We will definitely reach out to her again for pet care in the future.”
“Rachel & Jens were fantastic. We reach out very last minute and they were super accommodating. We cannot recommend them enough. Very response and love getting the pup updates. Rest assure your furry friend will be taking care of when under their watch.”
About: Lifelong cat owner currently living with two cats of my own. I've had cats my whole life and understand their personalities deeply. Equally comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I approach every sit with patience, genuine care, and regular communication with owners My game studio is on summer break so I have dedicated time to give your pet genuine attention, not just a quick check-in between obligations. I do my own cat check-ins daily but otherwise I'm fully present and available throughout the day. When I'm in your home I treat it with complete respect. You'll get photo updates and honest communication throughout the stay. I always do a meet and greet first so your pet is comfortable with me before day one, and so I fully understand their routine, quirks, and needs. No surprises.
“Chris is very reliable and communicative. I know he will take good care of my rambunctious puppy, and give him some nice playtime. And Archie loves to see Chris!”
“Kevin was great with Toby! And Kevin was able to take my booking at the last minute--it really helped. He also take amazing pictures. I will be booking Kevin again for visits with my little guy.”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember and I’ve never lived without them. Over the years, I’ve raised and trained countless dogs, birds, and more litters of kittens than I can count. Currently, I share my home with Whidbey, my friendly male Ragdoll kitten. He’s incredibly social with both cats and dogs and enjoys an active social life with his furry friends. Right now, I have extra time on my hands as I prepare to switch careers—and while my husband has (wisely) vetoed my dream of turning our home into a zoo, pet sitting feels like the perfect win-win. Whether your fur baby needs cuddles, calm companionship, or a bit of playful attention, they’ll be in safe, loving hands with me. I can’t wait to meet them! I'm currently in a career transition phase, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time and energy to dedicate to pet care. I’m home most of the day, so your pet will have lots of attention, playtime, and supervision—whether they're staying overnight or just dropping in for a visit. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine and is something I truly enjoy. From morning snuggles to evening play sessions, I'm here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for throughout the day. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly environment where your cat or small dog can feel relaxed and secure. I closely monitor interactions, especially during meet-and-greets or first-time stays, and I’m happy to separate pets until needed to ensure everyone feels safe. My Ragdoll kitten, Whidbey, is very gentle and social—used to being around other cats and dogs. Whether they need space, extra cuddles, or quiet time, I’m happy to adapt. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space with respect and keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel totally at ease while you're away.
“Clara was so communicative, on time, and friendly to interact with. She took great care of my kitty and we will definitely leverage her services again anytime we need to go out of town.”

Carter was amazing! Ghibli is a kitten and he actually ran up to Carter during the meet and greet, which he almost never does with new people. That immediately made me feel really good about leaving him in Carter’s care. I loved the detailed updates and photos, and Carter even went above and beyond and helped clean up my place a bit. I really appreciate how much care he put into looking after Ghibli. I’ll definitely be booking Carter again!
Olena was absolutely wonderful! This was my dog Charlie’s first time staying home alone, and she completely put my mind at ease. She was prompt, reliable, and incredibly responsive throughout every visit. I loved receiving photos and updates, which helped me feel connected and reassured while I was away. Olena made sure Charlie got his walks, plenty of attention, and lots of love during her check-ins. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being and comfort. Knowing he was in such capable and caring hands made all the difference. I would absolutely book with Olena again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Olena, for taking such great care of Charlie! 💕
Madeline was an absolute delight! She absolutely spoiled Hallie and Annie with love and attention. And we felt equally as spoiled with her thorough write-ups, photos and videos. Madeline even left us with watercolor portraits of Hallie and Annie that I will forever cherish and plan to frame! Madeline is a gem - I would love to work with her again in the future because it’s clear she truly cares for our fur babies like they’re her own. Thank you, Madeline!
Aastha was wonderful and took great care of our cat, Ozzie, while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-fed cat, which gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. She provided thoughtful daily updates along with photos and detailed notes that we genuinely looked forward to reading each day. It was clear that she paid close attention to Ozzie and followed all of our instructions carefully. Knowing Ozzie was in such good hands made traveling much less stressful.
Always feel good about my older dog’s care with she’s with Brandi! She’s slowing down and has some behavior things and Brandi took care to check in about her walking needs and take her on a gentle walk at her own pace. Definitely trust Brandi for my pet care needs!
I had a wonderful experience with Emily and would absolutely book with her again. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, and it was clear that my cat was receiving plenty of attention and care. She was quick to respond to messages and always made sure that Bubba had what he needed. :)
