“Jenna is a great pet sitter. I needed someone to look after my cat while I was out of town for a few days and I picked Jenna after reading all the great reviews. She followed the schedule we agreed on and instructions I provided. I loved that she sent me pictures of my cat to show me how she was doing. My cat is very shy and is scared of new people but Jenna was able to make her feel comfortable. I will definitely choose her again in the future!”
“Christie is a very reliable sitter! I dropped my phone in the pool first day on vacation and didn’t have a way of checking in but Christie kept on caring for my cat the entire time and went above and beyond!”
“Could not recommend Lisa enough! She was super communicative and consistent, sent lots of pictures, and took great care of my two cats! It gave me so much peace of mind to know that she was looking after them while I was away for a week. Would 100% books again!”
“I am so happy I connected with Abdelkader to care for my cats when I am out of town. He is super reliable, often going out of his way to help with things. My cats don’t usually trust strangers, but it seems they loved him immediately! He is kind, communicative, and the type of human you would like to be around your pets. Thank you A!”
“Tiffany is the best friend a dog or person can have Attentive loving and so thorough hudson and I can’t wait to see you again This is why I refer you to my friends”
“Eugenia has done check-ins for my cat in the past and has always been so good with him, but today she went above and beyond when he had diarrhea and made a mess of his fur. She communicated the situation to me right away, got him cleaned up, and played with him extra long to win back his trust 🥺 if I could give Eugenia more than five stars I would!”
About: I’ve been a huge dog and animal lover my whole life, but currently don’t have any of my own. Luckily, I work a very flexible remote job that allows me to give lots of love and attention to your furry baby! I prioritize the comfort and safety of each pet, so I only accept 1 client at a time and will never have multiple pets from different clients at once. I have years of experience and will love and treat your pet(s) like my own! I have a very flexible work from home job, so I can easily take pets on walks and give them lots of love and attention! I live in a comfortable luxury apartment with 24/7 doormen. I do not have a yard, but I live in a safe neighborhood where I can take them on frequent walks. My building also has a private outdoor space and pet grooming amenities.
“Nina took great care of our cat while we were away, and was so attentive and communicative throughout! She shared lots of photos and videos and so kindly cleaned up after our cat who has a tendency to throw up hair balls. Our cat is older so we generally worry about her when we are away, but it’s much easier when she is well looked after in our absence and that’s how we felt with Nina checking in on her!

“Honestly, I never want to leave my little Annie with anyone else. Victoria so clearly loves animals and loves getting to know their personalities. She sent pictures every day and updates on how Annie seemed to be doing, including when she thought Annie might not be feeling great. I would trust Victoria with Annie absolutely any time. Thank you!!!”
“Isabel was very careful and patient with our cat and took good care of her! She helped us to keep the cat’s living area nice and tidy, and knew very well about how to interact with a cat who was too shy (actually more energetic than you could imagine) to see a sitter at first. Our little girl seemed to be very happy about her first ever sitting experience eventually:)”
About: Get $20 off for your first Rover booking with my code: DIANEJ75533 (https://www.rover.com/sit/dianej75533) I’ve taken care of my own dog back at my parents home since 2009, and have cat and dog sat and walked for local clients, friends and family! I’ve fed, walked, played with, bathed, and groomed dogs before, and looking to pick up pet sitting now that I’m in the city (I miss my dog back home!) For boarding, I only board one dog at a time, or up to three dogs from the same household. Once you book, we’ll have a meet and greet for me to meet and ask questions about your pup’s habits and quirks, feeding and walking schedule, any special instructions - and I’ll be taking notes along the way so I don’t forget anything and can keep a record for future visits. I also guarantee daily updates via text once or more a day with photos of where we adventured. My work has a flexible hybrid system so for in office days, I would walk your pup right before leaving and right upon getting back home + before bed. My partner typically gets home earlier than me (and loves dogsitting with me!) in case your dog needs frequent potty breaks. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks most weekdays and some weekends. For boarding requests, I only board one dog at a time. I live in a 1 bedroom in a high rise apartment with a doorman and elevator so your pup will be safe and sound. My partner and I are homebodies so we will be home most of the time to take great care of your pet. Happy to take your dog around the neighborhood and to local parks! My friends also love dogs so if you’re comfortable with it, I like to bring the dog on my daily adventures as well.
“Took good care of our two cats. Effective communicator and a good problem solver- was able to find the cat food & bowls that were unexpectedly put away by our cleaner, even when I was abroad and couldn't respond in time to give explicit instructions. Sent us good photos at every check-in. Would definitely recommend!”
“Andrew & Jing have been incredibly communicative and thoughtful during the two times they’ve taken care of my cat. They send lots of great photos, comprehensive updates, follow all instructions closely and take time to play with her as well. It was a relief knowing she was in such good care!”
“Birger is GREAT with my pet (who is also a bearded dragon so I can only imagine how well he would take care of a more “traditional” pet). He has also been extremely flexible with my changing schedule and took great care of Rudie. All of the pictures and videos were also very appreciated and helped ease my own worry about my pet. Birger even brought in some packages that were delivered!! Above and beyond!”
“Candice has been a wonderful cat sitter for us twice now! She is very communicative and sends us regular updates about how the cats are doing.”

We booked Simone for drop-in visit for our orange cat. Simone was very communicative, punctual, caring, and overall professional during the entire service. She gave us detailed check in each visit and followed provided instructions to the letter. Highly recommended!
Nothing feels better as a cat parent when you’re away from home than knowing your cat is in the care of a trusted and thoughtful sitter. My cat, Apollo, absolutely adores Jady. He’s incredibly selective about the people he chooses to spend time with, so his affection speaks volumes. Jady cares for Apollo as if he were one of her own cats, and I truly appreciate the love, attention, and patience she gives him. Knowing he is so well cared for gives me tremendous peace of mind. I can leave home feeling happy and reassured, knowing that Apollo is in the best hands possible. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Jady with him again in the future.
Here's a polished review that keeps your warmth and enthusiasm while reading naturally: Marta was absolutely fantastic! She bonded with my Blacky (yes, a black cat!) almost immediately, and it was clear from day one how much she genuinely loves and understands cats. She followed all of my instructions carefully and was never afraid to ask questions whenever something wasn't clear or when unexpected situations came up, such as finding a mess outside the litter box. I really appreciated her attentiveness and communication throughout the entire stay. What impressed me most was how seriously she took Blacky's care. She even noticed an issue with the apartment's ventilation and brought it to my attention, which helped me realize that my AC wasn't working properly. That level of care and observation truly went above and beyond what I expected from a cat sitter. During the two weeks I was away, Marta sent daily updates and photos, giving me complete peace of mind. She made sure Blacky was well-fed, comfortable, and, most importantly, loved. I can't thank Marta enough for taking such wonderful care of my beautiful little panther. I will absolutely be rehiring her for future trips and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Marta!
Highly recommend Hannah as a cat sitter! She was so attentive and caring with my cat, Domi, while I was away. She spent plenty of time playing with him and sent me constant updates with adorable photos, which gave me such peace of mind knowing he was happy and well-fed. She also left detailed notes and was incredibly thorough in following all the little instructions I left. Thank you Hannah!
