“Randi did a great job watching our three cats - even our shy one came out to play with her! The kitties are all very happy after we've been gone, a testament to Randi's care. Would highly recommend working with her.”
“Callie was amazing! So easy to work with, communicative, and responsive. Clearly my cat had a great time with her too. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a cat sitter :)”

Easy to schedule with and great with Moose, will absolutely book again!”
“I recently hired Annika to take care of my cat for the first time, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! My cat liked her and formed a good connection. Annika’s calm and gentle approach immediately put my cat at ease, and they quickly bonded. Seeing my cat connect with her was reassuring, as his well-being is my top priority. Throughout the pet-sitting period, Annika provided exceptional care ensuring my cat's needs were met. Annika went the extra mile by engaging my cat in interactive play sessions and providing him with affection and companionship. I highly recommend Annika as a cat pet sitter. Her professionalism, genuine love for animals, and ability to form a great connection with my cat were outstanding. Thank you Annika!”
“Alexander seemed to do a good job with my cat Carlos, sending me photo's etc. However apparently Carlos wasn't fond of Alex and seemed aggressive according to Alex. I am sorry about that. Alex gave me peace of mind that my cat was Oaky.”
“Ashton took care of our 2 cats for a whole week and we couldnt be happier with how it went! She was super friendly and flexible, and it was clear that our cats loved her! She took such fun pictures and made our cats feel so comfortable. Definitely will be re-booking!”
About: Almost all of my experience as a dog owner and sitter is with dogs that have come from shelters or other adopted situations. I have owned “retired” greyhounds that were severely traumatized, I have cared for small dogs with unknown, but clearly extremely difficult, past traumas, and I have stayed and bonded with boxers and pit bulls who are slow to trust but then become bed-hogging cuddlers! Recently, I had my first experience helping train a puppy! I spent five months with a family and their sweet cavipoo house training and leash training. I teach from home and so I am always home! Well, except for the occasional errand, appointment, etc. So, I would love the extra company and the excuse to get out of the house and get some exercise! I live in an apartment building so I do not have a fenced yard. However, I live on Lafayette Park where I walk daily. It is incredibly safe and I have gotten to know many of the pet parents in the building and the neighborhood. I have two five month old kittens that I adopted from a foster home two months ago where they lived with a dog. I am hoping to keep them exposed to other animals so that when I have a larger place, I will be able to expand my family of pets.
“We booked a week-long request with Sydney, with morning/evening visits. We were nervous to be away from our cat for so many days, but Sydney provided many updates and pictures during their time together that we knew he was spending quality time with a kind friend. I’m sure our cat is excited to see Sydney again for the next time she visits, she is very caring and in tune with his needs!”
About: I'm a young professional that works from home and have some extra free time and LOVE caring for dogs. So this is the perfect opportunity for me and I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs on Rover, after graduating from undergrad I took up dog sitting and I have watched homes and pets while family is out of town since then. I am very flexible and reliable and would have a great time with your pet! Why I love dog sitting: I had a dog who I was extremely close with and since his passing I miss a dog's companionship. Because of school and work I'm not able to take care of a dog full time so in the meantime I would love to keep yours company! I’m currently working from home and on my own schedule so I have plenty of time to take your pup on walks and give them lots of attention! How I care for pets varies on the individual pup or cat. Every one of them have their own special needs so I will be sure to be informed and have notes on the stay before booking.
About: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats and horses, so animals have always been a part of my life! Besides helping out with our own animals, I worked at a dressage barn throughout high school and showed horses throughout college. I have also taken care of family and friend's dogs and cats for extended periods of time. Pets have influenced my entire life and I understand the importance of every pet's health, safety and happiness. Besides caring for my own cat, I have an open schedule to give your pet the care and attention they deserve! My calendar is flexible to meet your pet-sitting needs. I currently do not offer pet sitting services at my home, but I am excited for the opportunity to take care of pets at a client's home. I prefer to meet the pet and go over the pet's needs with an owner prior to the owner being gone, so that I'm aware of the pet's environment and how I can best take care of the pet while their owner is away.
“Our dogs love Dana! We knew our dogs were in great hands while we were out. Dana was right on time and sent us updates and pictures. We were a little nervous leaving because our one pup doesn’t like thunder and storms were in the area, but Dana was great and made sure Cento wasn’t scared. 😊”
About: My family has always had dogs and from the age of about 8 I helped to potty train, crate train and care for 3 dogs. I've given many baths, administered lots of medication, clipped many nails and cleaned up many accidents. I've cared for senior dogs, puppies and everything in between. Now I have a dog all to my own and she thrives everyday! She's potty trained and crate trained and knows her basic manners and how to shake paws. I really just love dogs and would love the opportunity to make someone's pet feel special and cared for in their absence! I work from home, so I'm always at home with my own pet. I'm very flexible and free just about any time. I have reliable transportation and am always timely. I carefully follow all instructions left by pet parents and if I feel uncomfortable or unclear, I will always reach out to ask for guidance. I personally never walk my own dog off leash, as I worry about her safety and the safety of others, so I would always keep your dog on a leash. I love the dog park but if that is not your dog's speed, I love leisurely on leash strolls as well. I walk my own dog about an hour everyday so I'm always free to help get your puppy some exercise! I always carry water on walks and know when dogs get overwhelmed and/or tired.
About: Years ago, I got my dog as a 10 week old puppy and we've trained and thrived together ever since! I often look after family friend's dogs, and have gotten experience caring for dogs at animal rescues. I have a full time job with flexible hours. I am finished in the early afternoon most days, and would like to help fur families with my free time! My home has plenty of room for play time, with lots comfort for relaxation and bed time. I own two medium crates if they are required. Your animals will always have access to water and are fed on their regular schedule!

Gold Coast pet parents share their Rover experiences
Elizabeth was great and super flexible! Our dog had a minor injury at the groomer right before she was supposed to dog sit and needed to wear a cone, take an oral pill, and get eye drops. Elizabeth did all of that with a day’s notice and Jessie behaved perfectly for it. We were worried about leaving her while she was taking meds but Elizabeth made those concerns evaporate. She was super communicative and really seemed to like hanging out with Jessie (who also seemed to like to hang out with her. She doesn’t usually let other people mess with her head very much). It made being gone for the weekend significantly less stressful.
Our dogs love Dana! We knew our dogs were in great hands while we were out. Dana was right on time and sent us updates and pictures. We were a little nervous leaving because our one pup doesn’t like thunder and storms were in the area, but Dana was great and made sure Cento wasn’t scared. 😊
Breanna is absolutely amazing to work with. I could tell she cared about my cat, and was genuinely concerned with her wellbeing. Breanna was willing to step up and help when I needed her to do an extra drop in last minute. She gave me so much peace of mind on my vacation, and I will absolutely be using her again for my next trip. 11/10.
Victoria did an awesome job caring for my 3 cats while I was away. I appreciated her sending me updates and photos after each visit. She followed the routine and care instructions well and played with the cats. My place was tidy and the cats seemed relaxed when I returned. Overall, I was very pleased with the service and would recommend Victoria. Thanks again!

Had Jordan pop in to take care of my cat Mimi. Followed, her routine and was amazing with her. He did an incredible job sending update photos, and making sure she was comfortable. I cannot say enough about how happy both my partner and I were to have Jordan look after our kitty.
