“We were so lucky to find Carol, she is very timely on visits and took great care of our senior 16 year old cat. Her friendliness and experience with animals was much appreciated. She’s a keeper.”
About: Over a year of experience with pet sitting through PetButler, caring for all types of animals. Walking and drop in visits were done. Dog daycare experience as well. Good communication and strive to provide the best experience for your pet. I am available throughout the week, although I am a student the only conflict I have is Mondays around 4-5. So very open during the week and some weekend availability. At your home I will follow instructions carefully to ensure the safety of your pet. Whether that’s using a leash, harness, or keeping them in a fenced in area.
“10/10 Will recommend Anikka to anyone who needs pet sitting! She takes special care and consideration for your pet and will make sure she treats them as her own. She will go above and beyond, making sure they are well taken care of but that their behavioral needs are also met. My cat is very social and Anikka made sure to spend a lot of quality time with her. The pictures were great too! You can tell Anikka also has an animal care and behavior background, as she really understands your pet’s needs while you are gone. She’s great and everyone should hire her!”
About: With over 15 caring for my childhood dog, and being a frequent cat sitter for friends look no further for your friendly neighborhood pet sitter! I am currently looking for weekend and afternoon jobs. Depending on your location, I may be able to stay overnight for services! Let’s chat to see what works for us both! As a Clinical Psychologist, I take pride in my job and apply my ethical code of conduct in and out of the therapy room. You and your pets will be in good hands!
“Marie did a fantastic job with Snippet and Milky Way. She played with them both every day when visiting, and she was very communicative both before and during her stay.”
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats throughout my experience. Of mostly all ages and even multiple at a time. The most cats i have ever had is 4 at once! I am currently a college student so spending the night at peoples home would not be an issue. Not crazy available on weekends but can definitely ask! The most classes i have are 3 at once so 3 hour break from being able to come over. I make sure to feed my pets breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Let them out as much as they express they need to and give them plenty of affection, play time, and walks. Not one client who I have sat for or walked their dog has gave me any criticism. I make sure to follow the clients instructions to the exact details.
“Savannah was awesome and very helpful with my last minute request. She watched our cat and it was obvious he enjoyed the time he spent with her. Appreciate all her help!”
“Karen is great and you can tell she deeply cares for the pets she watches. She sent tons of pictures and kept great care for both Jack (our dog) and Boone (our cat). We will definitely be using her again.”
“Corrinn was fantastic! I have a very outgoing and active cat and she was great at making time to stop over each day while I was away, and the updates/pictures were great!”
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with Safaa! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt comfortable knowing she was in caring hands. Jennifer kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was always quick to communicate and made sure I knew how Safaa was doing. Both Jennifer and her husband were incredibly sweet and kind, and it was clear they genuinely love and care for animals. Their three beautiful cats added to the warm and welcoming environment. I am so grateful for the care Safaa received and will definitely be using Jennifer again in the future. Thank you for making Safaa’s stay such a positive experience!”

Kayla did an amazing job dropping in to take care of my 2 cats while I was away on vacation. One cat had specific diet needs and med administrations twice a day, and she handled it like a champ! She even vacuumed my floors before I came home, which was an added bonus. Would definitely book her again and highly recommend!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Danielle took such wonderful care of Hazel and Earl, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. We loved the daily updates, thoughtful notes, and cute photos that really showed how happy and comfortable our cats were. Highly recommend!

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

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 .
