About: 🏡 Experience: I share my home with two dogs and two cats. I have 18 years of experience with my eldest animal, a cat named Tiger (in my profile photo). I also have multiple years experience in animal rescue, TNR stray cats, and fostering. I work full time Monday through Thursday until 5pm but you can reach out to me about availability. Depending on what type of service you need, I might be available during workdays. I have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood. I have a dedicated room to pet care so that your fur baby feels comfortable. I have two very friendly small dogs of my own who are crate trained and two elderly cats.
“Holly was great! She communicated with me throughout the whole trip and sent pictures of my fur babies. I didn’t feel stressed out while on vacation because I knew she was taking such good care of them!”
“Aaliyah was AMAZING!!! My cat, Mopsy, loved her and she can me timid with new people. Aaliyah gave Mopsy time to get comfortable around her, and sent me so many photos and videos! She was on time and even stayed extra since she loved Mopsy so much! She is an amazing sitter and I will 1000% use her again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Risa was so easy to work with! Her response time was quick, scheduling was easy, and she did everything asked of her. My cat seemed happy when we returned and our place was in great shape. Would definitely recommend!”
“5/5 Stars – Meticulous and Incredibly Caring! We hired Cadence to watch our furbaby while we were away on a week-long vacation to San Diego, and she was absolutely phenomenal. This was the longest we have ever been away from him, so we were naturally a bit anxious, but Cadence completely put our minds at ease. Her communication was fantastic throughout the entire week. She was so sweet, caring, and incredibly respectful of our home. She didn't just do the bare minimum—she took meticulous time every day to play with him, give him his treats, brush him out, and keep his feeding schedule perfectly on track. It is such a relief to find a pet sitter you can truly trust. We would definitely use Cadence again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care for their pet!”
“★★★★★ Macy was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of both of my dogs while I was away, checking in three times a day and spending quality time walking, feeding, and interacting with them so they felt comfortable and secure. When Khaleesi unexpectedly became sick, Macy went above and beyond and took her to the emergency vet for me, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was out of state. She kept me fully informed throughout my entire trip and was dependable, caring, and attentive. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I would absolutely trust Macy with my girls again and highly recommend her!”
“Sandra did a great job caring for our cat. She was comfortable giving his inhaler and spent lots of quality time with him during each visit. She also kept the litter box tidy and took care of things when he wasn’t feeling well. We’re grateful for her help and that we came home to a happy and well-loved cat!”
“I’m so grateful I found her! She is so great at communicating and always keeps me updated, which gives me so much peace of mind. I’m especially thankful that I’m able to use her for the month that I’m here. She has been so kind, reliable, and wonderful to work with. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets! 🐾🤍”
“She was wonderful!!! I️ had to leave last minute for a family emergency and she was so communicative and sweet with my cat! My girl loved her and she took good care of her! 10/10 recommend !”
“Scott was kind and worked so well with our dogs. He handled our paralyzed dog with love and compassion and was sure to take our other dog on walks to ensure she wasn’t stressed. Honestly Scott gave us peace during our trip that we had been looking for! Thankful for him and looking forward to working with him again the future!!”
“Carter was extremely responsive and communicative while I was away for 5 nights. I was so fortunate to have him House Sit my cats and I am already planning to use him again. He's fantastic.”
“Kristie is awesome! She followed all the instructions I left, took great care of my shy little cat, and even kept me updated with friendly messages. I felt super confident leaving Mia in her care and would absolutely trust her again!”
“There’s a reason Evan has a perfect rating. He was able to take care of my cat with only 12 hours notice. It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute. Evan even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us so that we didn’t walk into a disaster Highly recommend Evan!”
About: I've loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a farm in PR. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I take the time to earn their trust at their own pace. I'm especially patient with shy, anxious, or senior pets and believe they deserve gentle, compassionate care. Whether it's keeping your pet active with walks and playtime or simply keeping them company and maintaining their routine, I'll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're apart. I also speak fluent Spanish, some Portuguese I do work a full time job as an optician (15 years) but looking into going to college for animal pshycology and behavior. Im available mostly weekends right now and some weekdays. My happiest is when I'm surrounded with animals since I grew up in a farm in PR it's been my dream to create a sanctuary for all animals. Right now not offering services in my home. I share my home with my sweet dog, Alice, who has taught me a great deal about patience, positive reinforcement, and understanding different personalities. And my beautiful affectionate senior cat, ophilia, who can't get enough cuddles and treats ❤️

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
Lana is very thoughtful, detail-oriented, and unafraid to ask questions. With my cats being chronically ill, and needing specialized care, I knew after meeting her she'd be able to get the job done while raising the bar. I have never felt so comfortable with leaving my cats' care in the hands of another person. I couldn't recommend Lana enough!
Rebekah watched our three cats on very short notice, and she was fantastic. This was our second time booking her. She was incredibly responsive, dependable, and communicative throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated with great photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
