“Amber is absolutely amazing! Our two cats were under her care for three weeks, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment Amber arrived, she was fantastic with the cats, instantly connecting with them and making them feel comfortable. Amber made sure our cats were not only well cared for but also entertained and happy. Amber is also responsive and responsible. She sent us daily updates and photos. It was such a relief to see our cats so content and well-looked after. Her communication was excellent, giving us peace of mind throughout our time away. We wholeheartedly recommend Amber to anyone in need of a reliable, loving, and professional cat sitter. Our cats adored her, and so did we!”
“Kate has done a few visits with my dog and she’s amazing!! She is reliable and shares thoughtful updates. She’s been a huge help in making sure my dog feels comfortable and less anxious when he’s home alone. I’m so grateful for her help and absolutely would recommend her as a sitter.”
“Francesca was amazing with my two pups. You can tell she really cares about and loves animals, and has an amazing intuition with dogs. The girls warmed up to her immediately and had so much fun on their walks. Will definitely be booking with Francesca any time I need a walker!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have a few years of experience helping take care of them. I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family with walking, feeding, and general care. I’m responsible, patient, and pay attention to each pet’s needs and routine. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m available anytime on weekends and from noon to 3pm Monday through Friday. I have a consistent schedule and am very reliable during these times. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets. I will follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while always keeping the area clean and secure. I’m respectful of your space and will communicate with updates if needed.
“Our cat is very shy and cat sitters barely see him when doing check-ins. Somehow Rebecca gained his trust on the second day and he was comfortable being approached and pet. It made us feel better being away knowing that our cat wasn’t hiding the whole time we were gone. I’d definitely reach out to Rebecca again in the future.”
About: Hi I’m Aurelia! I’m dedicated to sharing in the joy, fun, cuddles, walking, and love of all the dogs and cats I can find (and who find me)! Growing up with dogs and cats at home, I have always loved being around animals. My two dogs have been a German Shepherd mix (Bela) and a miniature poodle (Linzee) so I have lived with and know how to care for large and small dogs! I grew up with two cats, Slate and Pippin. I currently have my own kitty, Thomas.💕 I love dog walking, and I always make sure there is lots of play. Your dog and/or cat will be lovingly cared for and have a super fun time! I look forward to meeting you and your pet :) 🐶 🐈 🩷 *NOTE: I am only available to do overnight stays for no more than one week at a time. Thank you! I’m currently between jobs (most recently worked for Kaiser Permanente) so I have lots of time to dedicate to your dog or cat, and house-sit if needed! I take house and pet instructions to heart, and make sure I have everything I need to be able to give the best care possible.
“One word: AWESOME! Vivian was an amazing caretaker not only for our cat Luna, but for our backyard chickens too! Each visit we received a bunch of photos of both Luna and our chickens and Vi also came over before our scheduled visit to go over all our instructions. Would DEFINITELY book again!”
“Sandrine took good care of our large floof babies (Saint Bernards) Belle, who is usually very people shy took to her faster than expected and we were able to enjoy our short 4 day vacation without having any worries of what was going on with our babies back home.”
“Phuong was wonderful. Our original cat sitter broke her foot and canceled the day before we were due to leave. Phuong came through at the last minute. She was so conscientious and took time with the kitties, even winning over the heart of our shy cat Chompie. She sent photos and videos and sent updates. We didn’t have to worry about the kitties at all and knew they would be cared for. I highly recommend Phuong. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I’m a nurse practitioner and mom to 2 human babies and 1 furry baby. My beloved fur baby, Willow, is getting older and is slowing down. I would LOVE to have other fur buddies to go on walks or runs with, or just snuggle. I’ve used Rover for years and know first-hand how stressful it can be to leave a fur baby with someone else. I will treat your pets like my own and send lots of pictures so you know your pet is well cared for 🤗 I currently work full time it my clinic but have Thursdays off. I drop the kiddos off at school and then have the whole day to play outside with pups! I am a very responsible person who values clear communication and follow through. I will always send picture and text updates. I will always have my phone on and keep your pup leashed so they are safe.
“Emily was awesome! she took such great care of our kitties while we were gone. she sent a lot of cute photos and videos, and even took the time to come meet our cats in person ahead of the visits. i definitely recommend!”
“Laurena was great with my kitty! I came home to a relaxed and happy cat, and I got a lot of cute photos and videos while I was away. She even picked up my mail for me. 10/10 - will book again!”
About: I have always been a huge fan of animals, ever since I was a child. My family has had many dogs throughout the years, as well as cats, reptiles, and even fish at a time. I am very social and respectful of both the owners and the pets, and am looking to help however I can. In the case that I am unavailable or out of town, I would also highly recommend my good friend Kaia B as another option, as she has helped my family many times in the past and is super friendly and great with pets. https://www.rover.com/members/kaia-b-experienced-dog-walker/?bep=brand%3Drover%26event%3Daccount-sign-in-google-success I just graduated university so I have a lot of free time on my hands and am happy to housesit or take care of pets whenever works best for the owners. A proper balance of love, play, and respect. I make sure my pets know they are loved and cared for, and play with them if they want and let them rest if needed. I am happy to take pets on walks or follow certain procedures or training in order to maintain routine for the pets if necessary as well.
“Keiki is an excellent pet sitter and a wonderful person, I'm so happy I found her! She is very professional and kind, I could tell she really cared about our cats and was very detailed in asking questions about their needs. And she sent really cute photos of them :) I trust her 100%, thank you Keiki!”
“Daniella was a great! She was prompt and took great care of our dogs. She was excellent at communicating and we would definitely recommend her for anyone needing a dog sitter. Thanks Daniella!”
Kensington cat parents share their Rover experiences
Sandrine did a great job caring for my cat Buddy - the house was in perfect shape, and most importantly, Buddy is healthy and happy. Buddy has diabetes, so his care required giving him injections twice daily, and that task Sandrine also accomplished perfectly. Sandrine also was very prompt in communicating with me. I will definitely ask for her care again next time I go away!
Amelia took wonderful care of my cat, Elodie. She was very attentive and thoughtful throughout the entire booking. She sent me daily photos and updates, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated how carefully she followed the care instructions and asked thoughtful questions whenever she noticed something or wasn’t sure. It showed how much she genuinely cared about Elodie’s wellbeing. Elodie can be a bit shy, but Amelia was patient and gentle with her, and it was clear from the photos that Elodie felt comfortable around her. I’m very grateful for the care and attention she gave. I would absolutely recommend Amelia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you again, Amelia!
