About: While I'm new to pet sitting, my love for animals made me start working on rover. I'm patient and attentive, l've cared for friends' pets, ensuring they feel safe and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fully commit to pet care! I'm available for walks during the weekdays and can provide boarding and overnight care on weekends. I provide a welcoming and safe environment for pets in my home, ensuring that your pet feels safe and comfortable always and will always supervise playtime to ensure a safe and fun environment.
“Thanks so much Yerlis. Very professional. Dogs took to her immediately. Timely and accommodating. First time on the app and a great impression so far. Will see you soon.”
About: Hi! I’m a college student home for the summer with 4–5 years of experience caring for pets. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, bathe, walk, and love their animals like my own. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets. Thank you for considering me to care for your amazing companion! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially while I’m home for the summer and have a more open schedule. I plan my days around my availability (11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays) and make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention, care, and playtime they need. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or just keeping a cat company, I treat it like a priority not a side task. I also stay flexible so I can adjust to each pet’s unique routine and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm and familiar environment by following the pet’s routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to body language and other cues to understand how the pet is feeling, and I give them the space or affection they need based on their comfort level. I know that trust takes time, especially with animals, and I’m always patient, gentle, and respectful of their boundaries. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, seen, and cared for while their family is away.
“Grace was amazing! Our kitty loved her so much while we were on vacation that I asked Grace to drop in 5 times instead of the original 3. I’m so glad that we booked with Grace, and I will continue to use her in the future!”
“Tex is a super anxious dog and Nicollette was absolutely wonderful with him. Sent the best updates. Will definitely be asking her to take care of Tex again in the future.”
“Quiana took great care of my cat for a week. She followed all instructions, kept me informed, and sent pictures every day. I highly recommend her as a cat sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life and I’m looking forward to taking care of yours. I have a dog of my own who is a 28lb mini labradoodle. She's super sweet and social, and part of the reason I like to dog sit is because she likes having a buddy around to play with. I work from home every day so Sage and I will be with your dog all day! I live in an apartment building but I am near a walking trail and dog park. I work from home so I'll be home during day! In case I have to run out for errands I would like to know how you board your dog when you're away. I will be available if you have any questions/concerns. **Please ensure that your dog comes fully groomed/clean!** I take my dog on a long walk once in the morning (8 am) and once in the afternoon (5:30 pm) with a short potty break mid day and right before bed. I can adjust my schedule to ensure your dog feels comfortable! If I go to a dog park but I typically go early in the mornings or mid day when it is empty. If you don’t want your dog at a dog park at all that’s 100% fine with me!

“Ayesha took great care of our dog Chloe. Chloe was not eating much while we were out of town so she made Chloe a special meal that Chloe really enjoyed.

About: I've had animals all my life from birds, to dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles and more. My favorite animal is a tiger but I know what it means to love something and have to let it go after a while. I work from home and can keep the pet company the same as it does me. I walk a lot to get inspiration for my writing and love to have furry companions along. If it's a cat we can both chill together and enjoy the presence of royalty. I don't have any other animals staying with me at the moment and plan to only ever have one over at a time when working. For cats, I live on the fourth floor of an apartment with a balcony that I use often, so I trust they are smart enough not to jump or have 1 life or more left if they decide to.

Forest Heights cat parents share their Rover experiences
Paige did an incredible job taking care of our cat while my wife and I were out of town for 2 weeks. She was dependable, responsive and provided lots of pics and notes to keep us updated. Our cat requires several medications and Paige handled it all without any issues. I highly recommend Paige and will definitely rebook in the future.
Cassandra is an absolutely fantastic sitter. She is proactive, detail oriented, and reliable. We were gone for a week and have two very spoiled cats. I left a long list of things I wanted her to do for us, including giving one of our cats his inhaler every day, and mixing in supplements into food, along with lots of preferences to keep their routine as normal as possible. Cassandra not only followed everything we requested, but went above and beyond. She gave us detailed reports about how the cats were doing and photos every day for us. We do not leave our cats alone often and I was so happy to have someone that I knew was exceedingly capable of caring for them. We had a few issues with another sitter that was also booked for another time of day while we were away on the same trip, and I think I would've lost my mind if Cassandra wasn't around. She gave me peace of mind that she was handling any potential problems, even if she wasn't the one that caused them. Thank you again for all of your efforts and keeping Spooky and Jinx happy and healthy while we were away!
