Nejra is an excellent caretaker! She got my kitty that hides when people come over to come out and get petted. This eased my worries about Piccola. Thank you Nejra for taking such good care of my kitties!

Sarah did an amazing job with my kitties! They are super shy and she managed to get them to get them to come out and feel safe. Will definitely book again!

Karly is always amazing with our fur babies. She was able to adjust the schedule to accommodate a later shift for my husband and she stopped back to check on them so we didn’t have to worry. Love that she is so reliable and loves them like we do.

Jessica was an excellent choice to catsit while we were away for Christmas. She was very communicative and sent tons of pictures each visit. She was also kind enough to take out our trash, bring in the mail, and she kept the litterbox spotless. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Alishea is so good with my pup! He is young and still a bit skiddish with new people. She is kind and patient with him and is so consistent - which he needs. Thank you for everything, Alishea!

Ashley is truly a "Cat Whisperer"! My twelve year old cat Maddie, liked her from the moment they met and she's kinda shy about strangers. I had no worries while away from my BFF for an extended period of time. Ashley sent photos and updates everyday which I truly appreciated!

Thank you for watching my princess while I was on my vacation. Because she is shy around strangers, it was such a relief to see her trust you and become more comfortable with you each day

I couldn’t have asked for a better drop-in sitter for my cats. She truly went above and beyond, especially for my oldest cat who had matted fur. After asking for permission, she removed the matted areas and educated me on maintenance. I can tell how much she loves cats and how knowledgeable she is about them. I am so glad I found Rover and Sara.

Olivia does a great job. She's always quick to respond. Our cat threw up while we were gone and she asked if we wanted her to clean it. Kids love the pictures she uploads as it let's them know he's doing OK.

From 5am to 8pm visits, Madison is a cat whisperer. Friendly and professional, Madison met and exceeded every expectation. I am no longer worried about traveling and leaving the fur babies behind. Thank you, Madison, for your care of the kids.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for family and friends for much of my life and am excited to bring those skills to Rover. I have owned my own dog for 6 years now and have learned a ton about having a dog that requires boundaries and maintenance for triggers of his reactivity. I’ve learned patience and am happy to do that for your furry friends as well! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays which gives me the flexibility to leave for drop-in visits throughout the day and after work! Tuesday-Thursdays can also be arranged if your home is near my office - contact me for details! While I’m unable to care for others’ pets in my own home since my pup prefers human friends, I will care for your pet in any way you need in your own home. I prefer homes where I can let your pet out into a fenced yard but am happy to take pets out on a leash if they are leash trained and/or you prepare me for their behavior.

Nejra is so kind and caring. She was very patient with my shy cat who never opens up to anyone but me… by day 2 she was already opening up to Nejra. She made sure my cat had her essentials but most importantly, made sure to give her lots of pets, cuddles and play each visit. I loved seeing the pictures from their time together each day. 💕 First time I’ve left my cat since getting her over a year ago and I was terribly nervous my cat would feel lonely and too scared. Now I know I can still go places and my cat will be in good hands with Nejra. I will absolutely hire her again for future trips. Thank you, Nejra!!!

Lynsey is amazing! 11/10 recommend her as a sitter - she will take good care of your fur baby! I have been lucky to be her client a few times now, and I will certainly continue to request her first when I am out of town and need a sitter to take care of my cats!
