Cordigen was wonderful and went above and beyond for our two cats while we were traveling. We massively appreciated the pictures and updates about our cats but also how Cordigen regularly took in packages and made sure everything else was in order in our home. Thank you, Cordigen!!

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my attentiveness, reliability, and respect for each pet’s personality and routine. I have experience dog sitting and walking dogs, as well as checking in on and caring for cats. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure pets get the attention and exercise they need while their owners are away. As a cat owner myself, I understand that many cats can be shy or particular, so I’m patient and allow them to approach interaction at their own pace. With dogs, I focus on safe and engaging walks while making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m very dependable and detail-oriented, and I make it a priority to follow each owner’s instructions closely so their pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for. I work full-time as an elementary school teacher, so my availability is after school, beginning around 3:30 PM on weekdays and on weekends. I enjoy using that time to care for pets, check in on them, and make sure they are comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. During visits I handle feeding, water, litter box cleaning, and spend time interacting with the cat in whatever way they prefer—playtime, brushing, or quiet company. I know cats can be particular, so I always respect their boundaries and let them warm up at their own pace.

About: Dogs and cats have been a meaningful part of my life for the past 18 years, and caring for them has taught me how much love, patience, and trust goes into pet care. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will truly pay attention and treat them with kindness. What sets me apart is that I’m very detail-oriented and empathetic. I notice small changes in behavior, energy, appetite, or mood, and I adjust based on what each pet needs. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and pets who need a calm, gentle approach. I can also help reinforce basic routines like feeding schedules, leash manners, and calm behavior. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Here’s a good way to phrase it: I’m currently between full-time roles, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and consistent care, and I can usually accommodate mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Because my schedule is open, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, stick closely to their routines, and be reliable for last-minute or recurring bookings. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. In my home or a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medications, and any house rules. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I always pay attention to the pet’s behavior and comfort level. I keep the environment calm, clean, and low-stress, especially for senior dogs or pets who need extra patience. I’ll also provide updates so owners know their pet is safe, cared for, and happy.

About: I grew up raising puppies and have spent most of my life around big dogs. I also have experience with larger farm animals. I have 4 years of dog sitting experience since I became a working professional after college and 7 years of dog walking experience on various other apps. I have cared for and helped train puppies and have senior dog experience, including grooming, teeth brushing, nail clipping and more. I am looking to spend as much time outside with pets both for exercise and because I love animals. I am available weekdays and weekends, I work part time so will sometimes be away from the animal for 4 hours at a time. I am quick to learn about clients homes, very neat and always help my clients around the house. I think animals are most comfortable in their own environments so I like to stay with them rather than the other way around. If the pet parent has a yard, I make sure to play with the dog in the yard, otherwise I will take the dog on multiple walks through out the day!

About: I've loved animals my whole life and have cared for pets since 2016. I had my own bunny for five years, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how much consistency matters in pet care. Over the years, I've helped roommates, friends, and family with their pets, including feeding, walks (rain included!), baths when needed, cleaning up accidents, playtime, and companionship. While I don't yet provide emergency or medical care beyond the basics, I'm very comfortable with daily routines and making pets feel safe and loved. What sets me apart is that I'm very good at following instructions. I know every pet parent has specific preferences, and I respect that fully. During the first visit, I may ask clarifying questions to make sure I'm doing everything exactly how you like it. I also keep your home tidy and send regular updates with photos so you feel at ease. I'm available weekdays during standard working hours and would love to spend that time giving your pup or kitty attention, movement, and care. I'm currently available on weekdays during standard 9-5 hours, which makes me a great fit for midday walks, drop-in visits, and weekday care. I'm not available on weekends at this time. Since I'm focusing on weekday bookings, I'm able to give your pet my full attention during visits rather than rushing between commitments. Your pet's comfort and your home's safety are very important to me. I carefully follow all instructions, double-check doors and leashes, and make sure your pet is secure before and after walks. I maintain a calm presence and respect both your home and your pet's boundaries. I clean up after pets, keep litter areas and feeding spaces tidy, and leave your home as I found it. Clear communication is important to me, so you can expect updates, photos, and honest check-ins throughout my time with your pet.

Dog Sitter Review: Exceptional Care and Attention! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of using John for the second time, and once again, he exceeded all my expectations! This time, he took care of not just my resident dog but also my foster puppy, and I couldn't be more grateful for his dedication and compassion. It was clear that John has a genuine love for animals. He provided both dogs with plenty of attention, playtime, and care, ensuring they felt comfortable and happy during my absence. His ability to manage the needs of both my resident dog and a young, energetic puppy was impressive, and it gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. What truly stood out this time was the extra effort he put into making my home feel welcoming upon my return. Not only did he take great care of my dogs, but he also went above and beyond by cleaning my apartment and even disposing of my trash! It’s those little touches that show how much he cares about his clients and their homes. I cannot recommend John enough! His professionalism, attentiveness, and kindness make him an outstanding choice for pet care. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family and ensure your home is well taken care of, look no further. I will definitely be using his services again in the future! Thank you,John, for all that you do!

This is the first time I have used Rover.com to find a pet sitter for our cats. I reached out to Tyler and had a meet and greet with him. Tyler was wonderful with the care of our kitties. I could tell that they were cared for as they seemed calm (not starved for attention) upon our return 7 days later. I loved the daily reports and photos from Tyler. He kept me informed and the pet areas (litter, feeding mats) were clean. It was a pleasure to have Tyler take care of our cats. I would definitely recommend him and will book him again next time we have a trip.

About: Hi, my name is Amara. I have taken care of dogs for most of my life, including our family dogs since high school. I took over the care of my sister's dog after she had twins, until his passing at nearly 19 years. I am familiar with senior dogs and administering medications. I believe that our dogs are family members and will treat your pet with the best possible care and attention. I can provide round the clock care on most days to maintain your dog's regular routine as much as possible. We can discuss what your preferences are. I will take care of your dog based on your instructions. I will diligently make sure that your dog is safe, comfortable, happy under my care and your home is looked after. Each dog is different, and I'll adjust to provide personalized care to meet your dog's needs and preference. I can provide exercises such as walking, hiking, playing fetch, or snuggling on the couch. I will provide you frequent updates and photos. I'm a text away and will respond to your inquiries promptly.

About: While I've had dogs somewhere in my life as far back as I can remember (belonging to relatives and friends), my big pet care experience started when my family got a dog of our own in 2018 (we named him Fletcher). When we got him, his foster family had mostly potty trained him, but we had to teach him other commands and house rules. In 2023, I spent a summer abroad and helped foster a couple cats, including entertaining, feeding, and cleaning litter boxes. April of Last Year, Fletcher suddenly passed from our lives and left our lives feeling quite empty indeed. Late December, we adopted another dog (named Dashi) with a very different personality than Fletcher. Dashi is very sweet but very skittish, and is much more people/"pack" oriented than treat oriented. Being a student, my hours are limited by class times. Thus, I am happy to walk or visit your dog between 8:00am-11:30am Mon-Thur, and 8:30am-5:30pm Fri and Sun. When walking dogs, I am typically one to go at the dog's comfortable pace, and will plan walk routes accordingly (although, I definitely take suggestions!). At home, I will gladly play with your dog, whether it be tug-of-war, tag, fetch, or any other game. Situation permitting, I would also be willing to take your dog on play-dates or bring my own dog (Dashi, see above) if requested. Please tell me what commands are useful for your dog, and any quirks or behaviours you want me to watch out for. While I can bring my own dog treats, I by far prefer treats that you know your dog likes and will respond to. I am not willing to take your dog off-leash in public until I am sure that your dog will return when I call.

I was very impressed with G.'s visits. My cat is very skittish but when I returned from my trip, she was calm so I think G. did nothing to cause anxiety. In addition, in one of her daily reports, G. pointed out something about the cat's feeding habits. I was aware of this but felt that it was very responsible of G. to notice it after just a couple of days and bring it to my attention. I will be calling G. the next time I have a trip planned. Thank you G. for being so conscientious.

Jonathan was absolutely incredible with our two kittens! From the moment we connected, he was easy to coordinate with and made the whole experience stress-free. He sent detailed updates throughout, so we always knew our lil cats were happy and well cared for — and you could just tell how much fun they were having with him. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely loves animals the way Jonathan does, and our kittens were in the most caring and kind hands. We’re already looking forward to booking with him again!
