“Cassandra was very fast to respond to any messages I left her and asked great questions… a thoughtful, prepared, and experienced sitter! My cat loved playing with her during her drop-in visits! I would recommend Cassandra to pet owners in need of a sitter.”
“Devin & Kylie went above and beyond with watching my cat & my house! I am an excessive worry wart and they made me feel so at ease. They provided tons of pics and in depth updates which were very much appreciated. I have had some rover nightmares with some previous rovers so I was skeptical to even use the rover service again, but they have restored my faith! I am so excited that I can use them for my upcoming getaways. Thank you both so so much! 100% recommend! Book them now!”

“Dylan went above and beyond to get to our house to take good care of our sweet rabbit for 9 days during a huge winter storm. He shoveled and had to walk in from the road due to all the snow and he kept us up to date daily.”
“Mary was great! She came in for 2 hours for a drop by to hangout with our senior dog. She messaged me when she had questions, and send lots of pictures, which we LOVE!! We had a FaceTime meet before and it was great. Would recommend :)”
About: I’ve spent my life caring for animals of all kinds, including horses, rabbits, cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have four cats and experience caring for pets of all ages and with medical needs. I’m comfortable giving oral medications and injections, and I’ve cared for cats with complex conditions, including FIP, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), asthma, allergies, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism. In Los Angeles, I worked with local cat rescues, and earlier this year I fostered a five-week-old puppy full-time for three months before helping him find a wonderful forever home. One of my own cats was diagnosed with FIP, and I never gave up on her. After that, I helped the owners of two other cats with FIP by administering their injections and supporting them through treatment, and both cats survived. I owned my horse from 2001 until she passed away at 25 years old in 2024, which taught me a lifetime of responsibility and commitment. My own cats have traveled to 16 states with me, and I love taking pets on walks, hikes, and safe adventures. Because I work remotely, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide attentive care throughout the day. I’m reliable, patient, and would do anything for animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the day. My own pets are my top priority, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s playing, going for walks, giving medications, or simply keeping them company and making them feel safe and loved. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your routine as closely as possible, making sure your pet is fed, exercised, played with, cuddled (if they enjoy it), and given plenty of attention. I’ll clean litter boxes for cats, take dogs on walks, and administer medications if needed. I know how important peace of mind is, so I’ll send regular updates, photos, and videos while you’re away. I’m also very understanding of anxious pet parents, so you’re always welcome to message me with questions or check in at any time. If you have pet cameras in your home, I’m completely comfortable with that too. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have always had pets of my own. I currently care for four dogs and one cat, giving me daily hands-on experience with feeding, exercise, enrichment, and understanding different personalities and needs. I’ve also helped with social media for a pet rescue, allowing me to learn more about rescue animals and their care. In addition, I have experience with the early stages of dog training, including basic commands, and positive reinforcement. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will provide dependable, loving care while treating them like members of my own family. Pet care naturally fits into my daily and weekly routine because I already care for my own four dogs and one cat every day. My schedule includes consistent feeding times, outdoor potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after them. Throughout the week, I also make time for grooming, enrichment activities, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. Because pet care is already part of my everyday life, I am used to staying organized, attentive, and flexible. Adding client pets into my routine feels natural, and I’m able to provide reliable care, consistent check-ins, and dependable attention alongside my own pets. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as provided, while also giving them attention, playtime, and comfort based on their personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything clean, and ensure pets feel safe in their familiar environment. In my home, I maintain a calm, structured setting with supervision, enrichment, and a secure environment tailored to each pet’s needs.
“Sylvia took great care of our cat Boba. I especially appreciated when she asked for a meet and greet before the day just so she could learn everything about our cat and see how our cat react in her place. She took great care of Boba and sent updates every day for my peace of mind. I would highly recommend Sylvia.”
About: Absolutely — I’d make it a little more personal: Your experience: I have my own rescue dog, so I understand how important patience, trust, and consistency can be when caring for pets. I’ve also helped friends and family with dog walking, feeding, playtime, and check-ins over the years. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pet like my own while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. I take safety and trust very seriously and will always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide. I make sure pets are secure during walks and visits, keep doors and gates carefully closed, and give them plenty of attention, patience, and care. I want both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable while they’re in my care.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Gulfport
We are so happy we were able to book Kylee last minute for our 4 months old kitten! She showed up promptly at each scheduled drop-in and took care of everything Pixel needed while we were away. Litterbox cleaning, feeding, so much play time and cuddle sessions plus plenty of treats to keep Pixel quite happy! We also got a ton of photo updates with each visit which helped ease some of my worry about leaving our kitten home for the first time but she made sure to communicate consistently and we had nothing to worry about. We will definitely book Kylee again int the future!
Sarah was phenomenal! She communicated with me daily, sent so many photos of our babies, and wrote detailed summaries after each visit. She went above and beyond and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our cats clearly loved her, and it was such a relief knowing they were happy and well cared for. We couldn’t be happier and will absolutely book with her again! 💗
Rebeca is amazing! She is so attentive, caring, and thoughtful. She took such wonderful care of our cat and gave me so much peace of mind that I could truly enjoy my time away. Her communication was excellent, and she always went the extra mile to make us feel special and cared for. I’m so happy knowing our girl was in such good hands while we were away. We highly recommend Rebeca and will definitely book with her again! ❤️
Alix was fantastic! We received wonderful photo updates and detailed notes during every drop-in visit, which were twice daily. Alix followed every instruction perfectly, handled medications for two of our cats with ease, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend!"
