“Callie took such good care of our two cats while we were camping this weekend. Both our kitties are on the shy side, but Callie won them over so quickly. This was the longest we’ve left our youngest cat (6 Mo), and he required antibiotics via syringe twice a day. Callie visited them two times each day, and was able to give our cat his medicine without any issues. She sent us updates and photos every visit. I highly recommend working with Callie!”

“Mya was absolutely wonderful! She visited my cats right on time every day. She went the extra mile by sending me adorable pictures and giving me thorough updates on their activities and well-being. What amazed me most was how quickly my fur babies connected with her, even from the very first visit. Normally, they take a while to warm up and come out from under the bed, but with Mya, they trusted her right away. This made my vacation so much more relaxing and enjoyable, knowing they were in such caring hands. I'll definitely be booking with Mya again. Big thanks to you, Mya! ❤️”
“Tara was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly friendly, communicative, and so flexible when my return plans changed—I really appreciated how accommodating she was. Rosie clearly bonded with her right away and loved the walks, attention, and care Tara gave her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Rosie was in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Tara again—she’ll definitely be one of the first people I reach out to for future care!”

“Jj is such a fantastic catsitter! She is incredibly caring and thorough, making sure both you and your pets feel comfortable and well taken care of. She's able to navigate any difficult situations that may arise and will always treat your pets as if they were her own. I always feel at ease knowing Jj is caring for my furry crew while I'm away. Highly recommend!”

“Lukis was great! Loved all the photos they sent of my hams and followed directions for key swap! I was very confident that they would do a great job, and they did!!”

“Sinan was wonderful with my puppy, Rosie! He was communicative, friendly, and clearly great with young dogs. He was also incredibly accommodating when my errands ran later than expected, which I truly appreciated. I’ll absolutely be using his services again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. 🐶✨”


“Melanie was great. She let me know when she was stopping by, spent time with my animals and shared pictures. My cats don’t usually come right up to strangers and they clearly felt comfortable with Melanie.”


About: I have had both cats and dogs in my life since I was born! I love animals and enjoy helping others care for their pets while they’re away. I have experience with administering medication and inhaler for cats with asthma, caring for pets with health issues, and pet-sitting for all types of personalities. I currently work full time so I can provide walks or visits during the week after 5pm. I prefer to house sit over the weekend to spend the most time with your pets. However, I am flexible to your needs as they arise! I always make sure to be patient with animals when providing care. I allow them to set boundaries and I follow their lead. I will whatever I can to make your pet feel as safe as possible while you are away!
“This was our first time working with Sydney and we couldn’t be happier that she’s a new friend in our cat’s life! During our initial visit, we could tell that Sydney was such a kind and good person. Through all of the updates and she pictures sent over, we could see that our cat was very happy and felt loved, which is all you can ask for while away.”

“Breanna really cared about our elderly cat so he was well cared for. She administered his medication on time and accurately. I will definitely book her for future trips!”

“Chelsea did an amazing job watching our cats! She had great communication (clear, prompt, kind) both before the booking and during the drop in visits, which was very appreciated! One of our cats is a bit spicy, and the other is super shy, and she did a great job respecting their boundaries while also trying to make sure they were comfy. She clearly is very familiar with cats and has a lot of experience with them. I would recommend Chelsea to anyone who needs a great cat sitter!”


“We are repeat clients of Jeannette, and the quality of her pet sitting and genuine care for our kitty keeps us coming back. She’s thoughtful and engaged, and simply the best! Highly recommend!!”

“Hannah was a great friend date for our doodles. They both looked so happy to be with her and the communication was great! We’re already looking forward to our next visit! Thank you”

About: I’ve been taking care and training dogs since I was young. I have patience with senior care for older dogs and can offer additional support with training younger pups. I recently graduated from college and work part time, I am a morning person and prefer to get up and active earlier in the day. I live in a gated community right next to a large dog park. I have two lovely and friendly dogs currently in home with me and crate trained.
Gold Coast pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sydney did a great job watching my senior cat Jack. He mainly needs attention, and she spent the full 30-minute session after basic needs were taken care of giving him cuddles and spending time with him. I came back to find everything in order and a happy cat. I would absolutely book her again and recommend her!

Jaida provided excellent care for my cats on two occasions. I appreciated her sending me updates and photos after each visit. She followed the routine and care instructions well and the cats seemed relaxed when I returned. I was very pleased with the service and would highly recommend Jaida. Thanks again!

Tara was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly friendly, communicative, and so flexible when my return plans changed—I really appreciated how accommodating she was. Rosie clearly bonded with her right away and loved the walks, attention, and care Tara gave her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Rosie was in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Tara again—she’ll definitely be one of the first people I reach out to for future care!

I could not have asked for a better sitter for my cats. Dan was wonderful. He had to administer meds and feed them. He provided me multiple updates daily. My house was safe. He must have created a safe space because my cats stopped hiding from him and let him pick them up. I will forever be thankful for Dan. I was really stressed as my one cat was ill before I left but Dan made me feel so much better about leaving. Well worth the price

Mya was very personable, communicative, and timely when it came to watching our pup while we were out of town. Rune seemed to really like her and she was willing to give him exercise and affection in addition to the necessities. 10/10, would hire again. Thank you, Mya!

Very thankful to have someone who understands the bully breed so well take care of my older bulldog. Understanding the mentality of a bulldog is really important to be able to take care of my big guy because he really is his breed through and through. Stubborn but sweet. Loved the picture updates and look forward to hiring Erika again.

Areatha went above and beyond for our two cats. One of them had an unexpected eye infection right before we were planning to go on our trip. Areatha was incredibly flexible in making sure our kitty got her meds. She was always on top of communication and sent us photos and videos. I will definitely be booking with her again the next time we go out of town!

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. 😊
