About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats almost my entire life and I know how to take care of them well and make them feel happy and safe! I live in an apartment with my family, we all love pets and equally experienced with taking care of them :) I’m free all day and I’d be more than happy to take your pet in! If there happens to be any reason that I am not free I will update my schedule. I will make sure your pet feels safe and happy here, and provide them anything that they need. I live with 3 cats and 1 dog, they all get along and I’d be more than happy to look after your pet as well!
“Shardae was very professional and is a trusting person. We booked her for drop in visits. She did a meet and greet so that our dog could get familiar with her. She followed all the instructions that we gave her. She took our dog on a walk when she came over and feed her. She also gave her one on one time to ensure that she is loved while we were way. I will rebook her anytime we are away. I will 100% recommend her to sit for your fur baby.”
About: Cats and dogs have been a constant in my life. From pitbulls to labs, I've grown to love the variety of personalities that come with pet care. I currently own two cats, which I've had for 8 years now. At home, I genuinely enjoy being able to take care of my own zoo of animals at home- rodents, reptiles, and aquatic pets too! I hope to share this love for animals by lending a helpful hand to other pet owners! I work part time; I receive my schedule on a week to week basis. So, my availability is flexible meaning I have lots of opportunities to fit into your care needs for your pets! I accommodate to each animals needs taking things like their home environment, temperament, and personality into consideration to best fit their needs and provide a comfortable care experience!
“Thanks as always for taking care of Andy and Wyatt! I won the car lottery with them, they’re such good boys and I’m so grateful you’re there when I’m not. Thanks again! Just one more week :)”
“Perla is the best. It’s hard to leave my fur babies when I travel but knowing I have someone that takes such good care of them, makes me feel less guilty about leaving them.”
About: Having a passion for animals had allowed me to be able to adapt to the needs of each pet I encounter. From ferrets to good ol' doggos, I am comfortable with all sorts of pets. I'm a Student Parent and being able to help pet parents in-between class and parenting myself is a perfect fit in my schedule. It allows me to control my schedule. Currently I am unable to keep pets in my home. My services are pet sitting or walking. Thank you for this understanding and I hope to work with you and your pet soon!
About: I'll take care of your pet. As far as experience goes, I've taken care of all kinds of pets from fish to rabbit to cat or dog. I have lots of experience walking dogs for volunteer work. And I volunteer with a local Pet Adoption Agency by feeding, clean litter, playing, walking, and administering medication. I love all animals from small to large. Whether you have an active pup to a senior cat, I will provide a safe, comforting and happy experience. Pet care fits into my life because I have pets and have volunteered to take care of pets. I will take care of your pets as well as you do. I have owned pets since a very young age and can take care of almost any pet. You have your pet in good hands. I can walk, feed, play with your pet so they are never lonely and have a good playmate.
About: I volunteered at the Petco adoption center every Saturday from noon to 3 p.m., where I ensured the puppies were properly cared for, clean, and well-nourished. My responsibilities included maintaining food and water supplies, supervising walks in a safe, controlled environment, and facilitating positive interactions between potential adopters and the puppies to help encourage successful placements. I work full-time as a school-based Behavioral Therapist and am at my client’s school from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Because of this, I am available anytime after 3–4 p.m. I can take in pets until 8 p.m., and if a later time is needed, I’m open to working out a schedule. When I go to a client’s home for dog walking, I focus on keeping pets safe and comfortable while sticking to their normal routine. I make sure leashes and harnesses are secure, double-check doors and gates, and stay aware of my surroundings during walks. I follow any instructions the owner leaves, including preferred routes, feeding times, and special needs.
“Elaine was amazing with our cat Gus. He's a bit of a sensitive flower and she got him out of his shell, purring and playing. I will definitely book her the next time we need a drop in sitter for him, I can't recommend her enough!”
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Pearl to take care of my cat Maia while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, I could tell that she was a true animal lover. Her professionalism and genuine care for my fur baby were evident throughout her entire stay. One of the standout aspects of Pearl’s service was her proactive communication. During my first booking, she sent me daily updates and photos of my cat, which was incredibly reassuring. It was wonderful to see my shy cat starting to warm up to her, a testament to Pearl’s gentle and patient approach. During this most recent booking, Pearl helped coordinate with my house sitter to make sure Maia was fed and well loved when I was away. Normally, Maia is very reserved around new people, but she seemed comfortable and even happy in the photos I received. Moreover, Pearl was very respectful of my home. She left everything in perfect condition, just as I had left it. It's clear that she takes her responsibilities seriously and goes above and beyond to ensure both pets and owners are satisfied. I highly recommend Pearl to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Her dedication and love for animals shine through in her work, and I will definitely be booking her services again in the future. Thank you, Pearl, for taking such wonderful care of Miss Maia!”
“Zulaiha was excellent! My cats love her, and she took really great care of them. I was actually stressed because this was the first time I was away from them, but she made sure they were all good and they had everything they needed. I'll definitely want her to take care of my cats if I'm ever away on a trip again because I know they'll be in great in hands.”
About: I love every dog. I myself have an extremely hyper dog as well as another dog who doesn’t get along with other dogs. I am able to care for your pet in any way you need. I work 2-3 days a week with a pretty flexible schedule. I am open to any schedule, and I can also work on short notice if need be. I have a fenced backyard and my dog has access to both inside and outside freely. My dog is super friendly and loves to hangout with other dogs. I also send multiple pictures of your furry friend during the service.
“Jessica did an hour drop in on our two dogs. She was prompt and provided us with lots of photos. She made sure to provide them enrichment, time to potty, and filled up their water bowl before she left. We would definitely hire Jessica again!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, always having pets growing up. I began volunteering at various dog shelters at the age of 17. At the shelters I’ve gained experience caring for puppies, senior and special needs dogs. I’ve owned a senior/special needs dog who required various medications, patience, and love. Friends/family have me dog sit and check in on their pets very frequently and I enjoy being able to spend so much time with animals. I have 3 kitties of my own now. I’m currently off of work right now so my schedule is very open and flexible. I am home most of the week and have lots of free time. I will carefully follow directions you leave for me in your home. I am a very clean and organized person and would treat your family member and your home, as my own- with the most respect and care possible.
“Sarah was great with our cat! She was very communicative and also went above and beyond to help bring in deliveries while we were out of town. We will definitely hire her again!”

Third time having Ginny take care of Lisa and our home! Though Lisa is not keen on making new friends, Ginny has done a great job of engaging with her and capturing darling pictures. Ginny responds quickly to sitting requests. Mail and packages are picked up and Lisa is a bit less annoyed upon our return! Looking forward to booking future housesits with Ginny!
Amy was an excellent sitter. My cats warmed up to her quickly and were comforted by her presence. I appreciated the many entertaining pictures in the Rover cards during each check-in. She followed all instructions (feeding schedules, litter checks, and cleaning). She understood the cats' needs beyond just food and litter box emptying and even cleaned extra at the end of the scheduled sitting. I truly appreciate her attention to detail and the care she showed for both my cats and my home. If she's still available the next time I need a cat sitter, I will likely call upon her services again.
Roselyn did a great job taking care of my kitten. She followed all instructions well and provided detailed check in notes with pictures. My kitten really likes her as he played with her during both check ins. She also played with him and made sure he had enough food and water before leaving.
It was an absolute pleasure to have Jennifer sit on our cats over the holiday period. She was incredibly flexible when there was a need to drop in one day earlier, and she went the extra mile many times for our cats. She took care of the house as well and followed all our instructions to the tee. She also sent us very detailed and regular updates and was always available to answer questions and flexible enough for what we needed. We would absolutely hire her back for our future trips, thank you so much!
We booked our holiday travel a little late in the year and our normal supply of family/friends who cat-sit for us were unavailable. I took a chance on Rover and found Allen and it all worked out splendidly! I met Allen before we left, gave him a quick intro to our cat Lisette, and away we went. I also left written instructions just in case and Allen followed them to a T. He sent photos and a video every day, putting my fears to rest about leaving our cat alone for the first time (we adopted her 6 months ago). I recommend Allen 100%! We will definitely be calling him again.
Liana was a wonderful cat sitter! She stopped by every day to check on our cat, made sure she was well-fed and happy, and gave her plenty of attention. We came home to a calm and content cat. Always a great sign. Reliable, communicative, and caring. Highly recommend!
My cats immediately loved Olu. While they like company, there’s been very few people they want to run up to and give kisses and cuddles. I knew my cats had an excellent guardian, which made my trip even more relaxing. I loved getting kitty updates. I had a great time visiting with Olu and going over everything. She’s very thorough and caring and she does reiki on people and pets! One of my cats came from a very traumatic start in life. He’s let go of a lot of it but the reiki was such a benefit to both of them, especially him. I can see a big reduction in him bullying my other cat. They both seem more relaxed and happy after their sessions. Thank you for everything!
Hannah was amazing with my kitty cat, George! I had to take a last minute trip and after meeting her, I was reassured George would be in great hands. She was very attentive, communicative, and responsive. Sent so many adorable pictures. Provided playtime and cuddles. Gave much appreciated real-time updates. Will be my go-to babysitter!
