“I was nervous to have to leave my cat alone for an extended period of time but Kade was incredibly communicative, responsive, and kind. They gave my cat tons of attention and affection and I know he was so happy whenever they got to spend time together. I’ll definitely rebook Kade the next time I have to leave for a trip!!”
“Jeff did a great job watching my two cats, making sure they got their food, meds, and lots of snuggle time or just time with some company. He was very responsive, was respectful of all my requests - including a bit of a crazy food/med routine - and I could tell my cats really bonded with him and were happy to see him. It's always such a relief knowing your pets are being well cared for while you're away!”
“Meghan is so kind and thoughtful. She did everything that was expected plus so much more. If she saw something she could do, she did it. Absolutely above and beyond. Brought in the mail, took the trash out, watered my plants :). Talked to me on the Echo:) just such a nice person and really cares about making sure my kitties are ok. So grateful and glad she was available while I was out of town. Would definitely recommend.”
“Lila took amazing care of my 2 babies while I was away! She's great at communication and sent me detailed updates on my cats everyday with plenty of pictures. She even helped take care of my plants while cat-sitting. I highly recommend her!”
“Rachel was wonderful with my pups. I appreciate her gentleness with my shy pups. They loved being around her. I felt safe with Rachel being in my home and caring for my pups.”
“Rachel was an excellent with our senior dog. We received regular and detailed updates and pictures throughout the week. We knew our dog was in good hands with Rachel from day one. She will be our first choice for any future trips.”
“Liz was incredible with our older dog. She was always there on time, even early during his morning visits. She brought treats and sent so many adorable photos of how well he was doing while we were away. I would absolutely use Liz again in the future. What a gem!”
“Catherine is amazing! Very responsive and attentive to detail and followed all the tedious instructions I had for my crazy dog. I am so happy I found Catherine and will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Kyla was so great for drop-in visits this past week! She's very sweet and my normally shy cats warmed up to her pretty quickly. She had great communication with the daily updates and pictures :) no notes, and will definitely see if she's available to book again next time I'm out of town. Thanks again, Kyla!”
“I’m never using anyone else! Tyler has a genuine love and passion for animals that shows in her visits and when she hosts. You won’t just get pictures of your dog playing in backyard - she actually spends time with your pup”
“Maria and Luis are fantastic pet sitters. Even our very shy cat warmed up to them. We came home to happy cats who got care, play and love while we were away. We will certainly book with them again. Thank you Maria & Luis!”
“Devinder takes great care of my cat Theo, who can be a bit sassy and territorial, especially when it comes to his personal space. I’d definitely recommend Devinder to anyone with a quirky or particular pet - he handles them with care!”
“Katherine took great care of our pups. She was on time, responsive, and followed all of our instructions. She did such a great job that we already booked her for another weekend. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I'm officially back and excited to work with new clients! What really sets me apart is my genuine love for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Through my volunteer work with rescue organizations, humane societies, and wildlife rehabilitation centers, I've learned to connect with pets who might be shy, anxious, or just need a little extra patience. I'm especially comfortable with senior pet care (thanks to my own elderly cats), medication administration, and working with special needs animals. My late staffie rescue taught me that the most misunderstood dogs often make the most loyal companions, so I have a real soft spot for bully breeds and "difficult" cases. I've also got experience with puppy energy management – I can tire out even the most determined zoomie sessions! Friends joke that I'm a "cat whisperer," though I'll admit one particularly stubborn feline took me 15 years to win over. Whether your pet needs gentle senior care, high-energy adventures, or just someone who won't blink at their quirky habits, I'm here for it. No creature is too unusual – I've cared for everything from traditional pets to more exotic companions! After leaving academia to pursue my passion for writing and art, I've discovered the joy of a flexible schedule. I spend most of my time outdoors anyway (turns out fresh air is much better for creativity than stuffy lecture halls), so having some four-legged companions along for the adventure sounds like a no-brainer. Plus, I've learned that pet adventures are the perfect antidote to writer's block. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe and loved while you're away. I'm experienced with administering medications, maintaining routines, and reading those subtle pet signals that tell you when something's not quite right. My own little crew includes two senior cats (14 and 17) and a wonderfully patient yellow lab who's basically a gentleman and a scholar. One of my cats has special needs, so I'm comfortable with medical care and know how important consistency is for our furry family members.
“I admit being new to Rover had me somewhat nervous, but after a few conversations and sessions with Kayley I’m so thankful we found her. My Remy loves her so much and looks forward to their time together. I know he’s in good hands!”
“Cynthia was great! Kept us updated with photos and took extra care to keep our naughty cat that gets into everything out of trouble. It was so relieving to come home to two happy kitties and no stress while we were out 😊”
“Kristina was a great communicator throughout the booking process and the drop in visit for my pup. She was on time for the meet and greet and the drop in visit. I received a thorough update and lots of pictures which is so nice when you’re counting on someone else to care for you pet. I would recommend her to anyone and look forward to booking her again!!”

Highland Park Southern Tip pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alyssa was a great pet sitter! She took care of my indoor cat for two weeks. She met him beforehand and he warmed up to her quickly. She listened to and followed all instructions. Alyssa was also very easy to work with and responsive to messages. She shared great pictures of him daily, which we really appreciated. She played with him, brushed him, and feed him (and cleaned up one spit up). She clearly has a great connection to pets and I highly recommend her.
Kathleen was amazing with our 4 kitties! They all have very different personalities and she was so great with them all! We even have 1 kitty that gets special food and she did great with making sure he got his food! She had very detailed reports and lots of pictures of our kitties for us! I couldn’t recommend her enough and will be rebooking with her!
Hannah exceeded expectations. I was able to relax and enjoy my little getaway knowing my dogs were well cared for. She was courteous, communicative, and professional. She kept me informed while I was away—with a bonus of super adorable pictures. She’s a gem! Thank you, Hannah. Duke and Barbecue look forward to seeing you again. 🐾🩷
Rachel was a godsend! She was sooo good with my 2 babies (cats) she automatically connected with my male cat, my female is very skittish, but Rachel knew what she needed to, T L C❤️ My plans, if she is still interested in next year, I would love for her to be able to come visit with my cats for a week again
