“Schirn stayed at my home to watch my cat Pip while I was away. This is the second time Schirn has stayed with Pip. I highly recommend Schirn, she is great on communication with messages and photos of Pip who clearly was very comfortable being cared for by her.”
“Andrea was absent amazing with my dog Franklin! Andrea house sat for me with a last minute request and was so great! She was very communicative and sent me timely updates. I highly recommend Andrea, she is great with fur babies!”
About: I have loved dogs since I was little, growing up with pets in my home and caring for, bathing, and feeding them. I have experience caring for senior pets. I had one pet live with me for 14 years and am well versed in the unique needs of senior pets, including special diets, medication administration, and gentle exercise routines to keep them comfortable and healthy. I also have a solid understanding of animal behavior and training techniques, which helps me handle both puppies and senior dogs effectively. I can assist with basic obedience training and socialization of puppies, making sure they develop good habits early on. On the other hand, open communication with pet owners, giving them updates and being responsive to any specific instructions or concerns, is very important. I currently work part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your puppies. I'm available for boarding, walks, or visits on weekends anytime and weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. I would be very happy to care for and spend time with your pets. By focusing on these aspects, I ensure that pets receive the best care possible while feeling safe and loved, whether they are in my home or theirs.
“Lenin is very professional, followed instructions to a tee, and let us enjoy our vacation in peace knowing our animals were being loved and cared for. Would definitely recommend and will be using again.”
“Razan did a wonderful job sitting for our pups as well as our place! My pups can be particular and she adapted to them and their quirks well - she had great communication and gave lots of pics and updates!”
“Christopher did an amazing job taking care of our elderly beagle. He was extremely attentive to detail, caring, flexible, thoughtful, and kind. We came home to a happy and relaxed dog, and we're very grateful. We'll absolutely be asking Christopher to come back.”
“Ryan was great taking care of my two dogs. Prompt an on time and communicative with daily updates. I will definitely use him again to take care of my babies!”
About: Fun fact: my profile picture is of me and Panda 🐼, the first fur baby I ever took care of for a family friend when I was 12! I am someone who has always grown up around animals including dogs, cats, turtles, and birds. I’ve always had a desire to take care of them, so much that at one point I wanted to go to veterinary school. Although I decided to switch to nursing, being able to take care of the adoring pets of others is something that I’d love to keep as my hobby. I’ll make sure to love your pet the same way I loved the ones I grew up with. All in all, I get to distress from school, and they can get all the cuddles and play in the world. It’s a win win! I’ll also make sure to keep you updated with pictures and videos so you can rest assured that they’ll be in good hands :) I am currently a full-time nursing student, with all of my classes being on Tuesdays. Besides that, I am available any other day of the week :) I also speak Spanish! When caring for your pet in your home, my top priorities are safety, respect, and consistency. I treat your space with the same care and cleanliness I’d expect in mine, and I make sure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I will carefully follow your instructions, stick to your pet’s routine, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. Whether it’s feedings, litter box cleaning, going for a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m reliable, gentle, and always respectful of your home and your pet’s well-being. You can relax knowing they’re in trustworthy, experienced hands.
“Christopher was communicative, caring, and receptive. He provided a great help to me over the weekend and he will be the first one I reach out to again for assistance.”
“MintZhet did a wonderful job for us when our regular sitter was out of town. Kind, professional, communicative. Very glad to have met you, MintZhet! Thanks again.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Eleni! She took care of my cat, Mira, during Thanksgiving week and went absolutely above and beyond in every way. She came by for a few hours each day and spent real, quality time with Mira—playing with her, feeding her dinner, and genuinely keeping her company instead of just doing quick check-ins. Eleni’s communication was exceptional. She sent a text every time she arrived and left, along with thorough updates and the sweetest photos that completely reassured me while I was away. Her responses were always quick, thoughtful, and detailed, which made such a difference. I felt incredibly comfortable having her in my home and fully trusted her from day one. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Mira was not only being cared for, but truly loved while I was away. Eleni is kind, reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural gift with animals. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat, which says everything. If you’re considering booking with her—do it. I would 100% trust her with Mira again and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter. Thank you, Eleni, for taking such amazing care of my girl!”
“Stephen was very communicative, providing regular updates and photos. He was so sweet with our dog and attentive to his needs— particularly mindful of his recovery from a surgery. We would absolutely work with him again!”
“Whenever we schedule a trip the first thing we do is check and and see what days Austin is free to watch our cat Lina. The peace of mind he provides for us is priceless, whether we are going upstate or out of the country. Lina is a very shy cat, but Austin has done a great job of making her comfortable and relaxed on every visit. We really appreciate him and would recommend him without hesitation!”
About: I have worked and taken care of Animals my whole life. A dog changed how I see life. You realize all you need is some attention and reasoning an life can move on smoothly! I have two current dogs I care for dearly, I take care of them as they were human too. So I would expect me to do the same as well to your dogs. No matter what size or breed. To me and many dog owners know that no one can be as loyal as your dog. We see dogs more then just a pet to someone else. We see some them as humans best friend! Your dogs will love to meet a new friend! They will definitely love to meet me!
“May was terrific! She house-sat for my cat and energetic 5-year old Husky. She took my Husky on several walks and sent me many pictures, videos and updates to let me know that everyone was doing well. I will definitely be requesting May again if I need someone to watch and care for my dog! She's great!”
“Alissa is a great cat sitter, flexible with multiple drop ins, extended visits etc. and very communicative throughout - Alissa looked after my cat for 10 days, and so this was much appreciated! Lots of updates and pictures/videos and my cat seemed to really enjoy all the pampering and play time and love he was getting. She followed all the (many) instructions I left. Very glad to have found Alissa through Rover and will definitely book again.”
“Ruojia was so great! She was so good about keeping us updated on our dog. She took great care of him and he always looked so happy in the pictures :)”
“Diana is wonderful! She stayed in our home and watched our dog over the Thanksgiving holiday week. She was a great communicator, sent photos, and took great care of our dog and house while we were away. We will definitely reach out to Diana in the future if we need a dog/house sitter again!”
“This was my first time having a sitter stay in my home and I could not ask for a better experience. Catherine took care of my 2 dogs and my home better than I could imagine. She provided daily updates with pictures and videos. She followed detailed directions and kept their routine up perfectly. She put me at ease while I was travelling so I could really focus on my trip. I came back to a clean house with happy dogs. I could see they were at ease with her too. She’s a pro. I would not hesitate to use her again. Thank u so much Catherine. 🙏💕”

Vanessa did an absolute amazing job staying with Onyx. She was with him for two days and a night and did everything that I asked her to do the exact way I asked her to. She kept in touch with me the whole time and dealt with my paranoia as I never left him before.. She left the house, nice and clean and took out the garbage. I will definitely be booking her again. Thank you Vanessa.
Emily is amazing! She was extremely communicative, asked questions if anything was unclear or she was unsure, and provided constant updates and photos and videos. You can tell she truly loves caring for dogs and treats them like they’re her own. She also takes amazing photos. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!
Evelyn was great with our Luna. We've booked with her twice, and she's left the house in great condition and seems to have kept Luna entertained both times. Luna is temperamental at best with newcomers, but Evelyn softened Luna up almost immediately. Would absolutely recommend her, especially for animals that need a quieter person
I am so happy with Colin. And so is my cat Lucy. I was gone for eight days and I came back to a happy cat, a clean apartment and everything else was fine. It made my vacation, worry and stress free. I will use him again. He also sent me pictures almost every day. Thank you so much.
Saifa is incredibly communicative and detail oriented. I have two reactive 1 year old dogs and they liked her immediately, which is rare for them. She carefully followed all instructions including separating their food and their walks to ensure they didn’t pull too much, and she sent photos every hour! I highly recommend her, she’s great with animals, reliable, and takes great care to do a wonderful job.
Austin is great! Bertie got comfortable with him right off the bat, Austin followed all our instructions perfectly and was a great companion. Austin sent lots of pics and videos which we loved and was always keeping us updated on Bertie. We would 100% rebook and recommend Austin. Thank you!!
Hunter was fantastic. I have a super needy and affectionate senior cat who needs a companion more than anything when we are out of town. Hunter made himself available to hang out with coopy and sent pictures of the two of them snuggled up. He made me feel comfortable being out of town by knowing someone affectionate was also looking after my cat. Finding a GOOD cat sitter on Rover can be difficult but he was a gem!
