“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Cat Sitter – Punctual, Responsible, and Caring I cannot recommend Mariela enough! She is incredibly punctual, responsible, and attentive to my cat, Simba. From the moment I hired her, she was highly responsive and kept me updated, which made my vacation completely stress-free. Not only did she take excellent care of Simba—who absolutely adores her and thrives under her care—but she also went above and beyond by taking out trash. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail truly set her apart. Thanks to her, I could enjoy my trip knowing Simba was in the best hands. In fact, I’m already looking forward to my next vacation because I know she’ll take care of everything perfectly! If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy cat sitter, look no further. Simba and I are so grateful for her outstanding service, and we’ll definitely be booking her again!”
About: Have had a dog all my life and was lucky enough that all our family dogs slept with me and now, of course, my two little ones and all the ones I host that like to sleep in bed too. It’s like one big slumber party, for the dogs, and well honestly, myself as well and during the winter a little extra heat. For the past 27 years I have had 4 dogs (2 of which I currently am the mother). Have personally trained them to be sociable, sweet, potty trained, and off leash doggies. Typically we go on walks throughout the day for any duration, I just read and follow what they want to do, if my older one wants to go in early I bring him in and continue with the other one. Even when I walk your dogs, I watch them to see if they need to get out more energy or still go potty and try to do my best to make sure they do before I bring them back home (sometimes my schedule or the weather does not allow the extra time, but if it does and they need it, no worries, it’s on me). In the process of an official dog training course so that I have the credentials to do train puppies and dogs on Rover soon. My passion has always been to help people and found out while doing Rover, love to help puppies and their owners too, to get the best dog for you. With consistency, patience, positive reinforcement, lots of love, talking, and more of my secret techniques we normally end up with well behaved, sociable, in the end well trained puppies and dogs. Just depends on how much time you have and what you ideally want your puppy or dog to learn and know. I have cared for puppies and my senior dogs and all the time in between. Have a very flexible schedule and would love to meet, walk, host your dog for doggy day care or to board and care for your four legged friends as if they were my own. Shhhh the dogs I host get even better service than my own dogs and my own dogs are spoiled, really spoiled. Last minute clients are encouraged and more than welcome. As it gives me a reason to keep the condo clean, daily. Love teaching puppies the way of the world. The more dogs the merrier, but if over 4 total, I enlist a friend for assistance. Every dog has unique qualities that will make things easier if I am aware in advance. Safety amd security are main considerations during my time with your dog or cat. Otherwise, if you don’t know yet, I will inform you in my rover card. We learn as we go.
“Sophia took excellent care of our cat while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which made it clear our cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. We came home to a happy cat and a clean home. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Yesi was absolutely great with our two cats and did a phenomenal job house sitting. She took care of everything perfectly and went above and beyond to take extra precautions during the Covid-19 pandemic. She even took the initiative to do some tasks like watering plants that we did not ask of her. Overall we were extremely impressed and will definitely be repeat customers!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Itasca
Warda is exceptional!!! Hands down the best cat care professional we’ve had. We’ll trust her with all of our pets in the future. She checked on our 19-year-old cat and pilled him twice per day. She played with him, groomed him, and measured his activity. She developed an intricate daily checklist, contacted us with any out of the ordinary info and observations, washed bowls and utensils, took out cat food and litter trash, vacuumed stray litter, and left things neat and organized. Wonderful, responsive communication and planning. We are in awe and were so relaxed during our week away. There aren’t enough superlatives to describe how we feel about our experience with Warda.
