“Renee is simply the best. Top tier, 10/10, literally could not have asked for a better cat sitter. She is so professional and diligent, detail-oriented, and most importantly — so wonderful with our animals! She took such care to follow our instructions and thoroughly update us. We have a hard time feeling comfortable with finding new sitters and Renee made us feel so secure and like we could actually relax during our holiday. We trust her!!! You literally are in the best “paws” with Renee!! :)”
“Isabella and Alanna were absolutely fantastic. Genuinely some of the best sitters we've had! Our girl is a 100+ lb rescue with some submissive/fear issues. Most sitters love dogs and want to give them tons of affection but not all of them can recognize when a dog isn't ready for it. But these women really get it. Not only were they extremely receptive to our dog's energy but they matched her vibe perfectly. If she got scared, they didn't run up to her or overwhelm her, they encouraged her to approach them. They ramped up pets and play over time at her pace. My dog does NOT like meeting new people but in just a couple days she fell in love with these ladies. They are timely, professional, took lots of pictures, and we could not be more thrilled. We highly recommend these two and will absolutely be reaching out to them again. Thank you both so much!”
“This was our first rover experience and we could not have asked for a better sitter! Caroline was communicative with us and earned our cat's trust. Will definitely.book her again.”
“Julie was wonderful with my pets! I have two blind cats, who are still being introduced to each other, so it's not a simple visit, and I couldn't be more pleased with Julie's care. She was proactive about asking questions regarding their care that I hadn't specified in my instructions and really went the extra mile to help out. I highly recommend!”
About: I enjoy meeting new animals and have many years of experience caring for dogs and cats. While my current apartment doesn't allow pets, I've found joy in meeting neighborhood pups. I have experience with many different types of dogs, from smaller breeds to the giants, and I look to build a caring and trusting relationship will animals and their humans. Hope to meet you soon! I have a hybrid desk job. For overnight care, I am best matched with pets who can be left alone during my "in-office" day, usually once a week. You pet's health, safety, and happiness are extremely important to me, and I will treat your furry family member as if they were one of my own. That said, each pup needs something a little different, so I'll look to you to share what works best.
“Gabriel is great. He is dedicated to making sure animals are comfortable with him and provides amazing care. His communication is also great.”
“Nathan took care of my two cats while I was away, and he was one of the best Rover sitters I’ve ever had. He was incredibly sweet with my girls and maintained excellent communication, giving me peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. His report cards were detailed, and he provided several amazing photos from each visit, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic sitter!”
About: Hey hey! My name's Victoria, but friends call me Rev. I moved here a couple of years ago now from Georgia, began pet sitting in April 2024, and it's currently my full-time job! I've been fascinated with animals since a young age, with about ~17 years of experience, mainly with cats. As I've gotten older, I've fallen in love with the human-animal bond, and have become passionate about their care and respecting each one the way they deserve. Regardless of your pet's personality, preferences, or needs, I'm excited to meet, care, and accommodate your little darling with the same love as you would! I hope to hear from you soon 😊! As this is my full-time job, I'm capable of prioritizing my schedule to work for you and your sweetheart(s). I'm always sure to communicate if something may come up during your booking, such as other gigs or obligations outside of work, that way there's total clarity on where and when I'll be in relation to your pet(s). If you're not sure, please feel welcome to ask! If I can fit them into my schedule, even on short-notice or alongside another sweetie, I'm more than happy to see what I can do. I've got the kind of guest attitude you can expect from a typical Southerner! I take the care of another's space very seriously, doing my best to leave things as I found them, and due to a background in housekeeping it's not uncommon for me to do some cleaning before I leave. You can trust to come back to your home just as you left it, if not with less dust than before!
“Luis is a gentle and kind person who understands shy cats and takes the time to get to know them. I highly recommend him for your kitty care!”
“Rachel is awesome. She has such a good vibe and my cat warmed to her faster than I’ve ever seen him warm to a stranger before! She seemed to take great care of him, cleaned his bowls before she left, and was super prompt and communicative. I’ll definitely be asking Rachel to sit for us again!”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with my first-time Rover experience. Kay is a superb professional to work with and I can’t wait to work with her again. I felt completely at ease the first time we met and everything worked out superbly. I definitely recommend Kay if you’re looking for someone with excellent communication skills and attention to detail.”
“We had a great experience with Claire. She was responsive to messages and sent detailed reports about each visit with our cats, which we really appreciated. We'll definitely have Claire take care of our cats again!”
“Zoe was super kind and punctual! She was very patient with our nervous 1 year old rescue and we’re looking forward to working with her again.”
“Lia took such good care of my two kitties and 1 yr old dog. She was attentive to detail, a great communicator, and very consistent. I would not hesitate to have her care for my pets again! They were so comfortable around her, even my shy kitty! I think that’s a big testament to her experience and skills.”
“Eryn was great! She was very communicative and quick to reply to any questions we had during our trip. Our cat got sick two days before we left for our trip and needed a lot of medications to be administered during Eryn's visits, which she handled perfectly. Eryn was sure to give our cat Sardine lots of love but also provided space when Sardine was still feeling sick and not as friendly. Overall, a great experience!!”
“Megan was great! She's an excellent communicator and accommodated some last minute scheduling hiccups on my end with no problem. I'm thankful for her diligence and by all indications she did a good job with her drop in visits with my cat.”
About: I have experience caring for cats, dogs, and even bunnies! I love animals and deeply respect the bond that is formed between a pet parent and their furry companion. I guarantee a safe and friendly experience for you and your pet, whether that is a scheduled walk or overnight stay! I currently work from home most days, so I have flexibility to go on walks, play, and show lots of love. Noon time to 2pm or after 5pm works best, but I can be flexible depending on your needs. Happy to discuss your pet's needs - whether that is need for crating or something else. Keeping your pet safe and happy is my priority. A;so happy to take in mail, water plants if doing an overnight or extended stay.
About: I love animals of all kinds! I grew up with cats and am a doting aunt to a dog. I have cat sat for friends previously. This is in addition to my job. I can stop by before/after usual work hours, or during lunch on some days. Weekends I'm very flexible. I will feed and replace water for cats and dogs. Scoop litter boxes, and play with cats or dogs. Also happy to take dogs on short walks.
About: I've taken care of several family dogs from puppyhood to old age. I've taken puppies skiing and old dogs for verrry slow walks! No care task is too tedious - I love getting to know your furry friends! I work full time but I have a hybrid work schedule so I can do lunchtime walks, as well as before- and after-work visits and feedings. I respect my clients' home spaces and their pets' routines. I want to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable with me in their space!
“Marlee did a great job taking care of my two cats! They were very communicative, flexible, and sent some great pictures!! They also were very helpful in giving my cat the liquid medication he needs. I’d highly recommend them for catsitting!”

“Victoria was absolutely incredible with my cat Rory. He requires medicine via inhaler every morning and isn't always the most cooperative with it. She was able to manage him and ensure he got his inhaler. I trust very few people with that responsibility and was very lucky to have her as my cat sitter. Rory absolutely loved her. I recommend her any time someone asks me for a pet sitter in the area.”
