About: I grew up with two dogs and a cat and have always loved petsitting for all my friends and family. I love going on long walks and can flex to your schedule. I work fully remote so I can either stop by in the morning, during lunch and evenings, or work from your home if you’d like. I take my responsibility as a pet sitter very seriously and will make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine as best I can. I will make sure they are loved and well taken care of!

Govalle pet parents share their Rover experiences
Marissa was an excellent kitty sitter! She was responsible and reliable throughout my 4-day trip out of town; for each of the drop in visits, she was on time and completed all tasks. She definitely cares for animals, as evidenced by the attention to detail and consistent communication with me. I’ll definitely be booking Marissa’s services next time I’m out of town, and I’d also recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! 5 stars!
Meg did a great job with my kitty cats! I’ve had her as a sitter two times so far, and I’ve always come home to happy healthy kitties and a clean home. She’s good about replying quickly, and about sending pictures of them at each visit (even got some action shots of play time!). She did everything that I asked (fed them, gave them clean water, cleaned the litter box, and played with them), plus she even took out the trash when it got full! Overall I would recommend Meg as a sitter :)
I couldn’t be more happier that I found Sarah to care for my Border Collie, Isla. From day one, Sarah has been an exceptional caregiver—always punctual, wonderfully communicative, and in tune with Isla’s energetic personality. Booking Sarah for two visits a week has been a great decision. I look forward to continuing working with Sarah and highly recommend her to anyone needing loving and dependable care!
My kitties were well taken care of! I’ve never left my cats alone before and was a little nervous about doing so, but immediately felt better every time I would receive pictures and videos of them. Aniela was very communicative which I really appreciated and she did a great job! Thanks again!
Elle was great! She was very self-sufficient and followed all of my directions, which made things really easy. I really appreciated the updates and photos - seeing her with my cats made me feel comfortable and confident they were in good hands. I definitely recommend Elle!
