“Jordan was so wonderful watching Annie for a drop in visit! She was super responsive, Annie LOVED her, and I fully trust her to handle anything related to our girl!”
“McKaila was a perfect sitter for my cat while I was away for a week! I came home and my cat was happy and content, which is always a great sign. McKaila even went above and beyond by taking out the trash, vacuuming up cat litter, and cleaning all pet dishes and spoons. It was lovely to come back to a clean home!”
“Melissa was so great with my cat Arthur. He warmed up to her quickly and she provided great updates throughout the weekend. She even went above and beyond to help troubleshoot my internet since his furbo and water fountain were disconnected!”
“Megan was 100% fab - she was my two cat babies’ first Rover sitter while I was out of town and they can’t stop meowing about her. It was obvious she cared for their well being and I felt comfortable being away and having her feed them, take care of their business, and give them the pets they demanded! (Photos to prove it!) Would definitely reach out to her first in the future. Thanks, Megan!”
“Samantha did a wonderful job taking care of my kitty! She set thorough updates and lots of pictures each day. I would book Samantha again, as she is a wonderful and trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Kayla is amazing! She has watched our two cats several times and she always spends a lot of quality time with them and takes great photos. We feel a lot better leaving them since we know they love Kayla so much. She always checks their water/food/litter and is extremely responsive and communicative.”
“I couldn’t rant and rave about Victoria more. Not only is she personally the sweetest person ever. But he love for my car Fred was above and beyond. She was very communicative during all visits and even went above and beyond and cleaned and kept Fred’s area nice and tidy! I even have referred her to other people already and they all have said raving things as well. I’m so blessed I found her!”
“Erika took care of my cat daily for over a week, and was very responsive and friendly throughout. I would highly recommend her if you’re looking for cat sitters in the area!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we were a little nervous. However, the daily updates and pictures eased our minds. When we got back this morning, I think our cat Franco was a little disappointed that it was us and not Sonya. She did a wonderful job caring for him. Anytime we travel, we hope to book Sonya again thank you Sonya.”
“Cassandra was very responsive to all my requests. She was prompt to all visits. She gave my cats ample love and attention in my absence. I will definitely book her again!”
“He was an excellent sitter! My cat needs medicine twice a day, and he was able to help her easily. From the pictures I could tell that she was happy and comfortable around him, and having him around made her so much calmer when I returned. He was communicative and kind, and I'd definitely book again!”
“Cindy is the best! She took amazing care of our cat, sent thorough check in messages and lots of photos while we were away. When we came home our cat was so happy. We love Cindy!”
“Edda was nice and took care of our cat while we were traveling! She was helpful when we needed her to adjust our heat and followed instructions. Would definitely book again!”
About: Hi! 👋 I have 4 years of experience in walking dogs and a year of experience in being a pet sitter. 🐶 I used to walk dogs from a shelter for 3 years, which helped me learn how to care for dogs with different personalities. Nowadays, I still walk dogs and dog sit for friends and family, feeding them on time, playing with them, and keeping them clean by wiping their paws and bottoms after walks. 🐱 I also have experience with cat sitting, making sure they get their food and water while also cleaning out the litter. 📸 I love taking cute, aesthetic pet photos so I would love to bring those photos to you as well! 🐾 Would love to pet sit, take your furry friend for a walk, or even stopping by to say hi and make sure they are doing great! Currently, I am working at home and would love to work while taking care of pets and playing with them! I’m free on weekdays and sometimes the weekends. I take care of pets by making sure they’re fed on time, played with, and given lots of love and attention. I keep things clean, like wiping paws after walks, and follow all the owner’s instructions to make sure their pet feels at home. I always treat them like my own!
“Dylan is timely, professional, and gets along great with my dog! My dog is still a puppy and can be particular about where he goes on walks. Dylan is great at taking my dog for walks and is open to feeding my dog when I am out of time, which is very helpful. I would recommend Dylan to anyone looking for someone to look after their dog!”
“My cat’s a little shy around new people, but Brian respected her boundaries and let her warm up to him as my trip went on. He stuck to the times, reaching out when he might be too late, and sent some extremely cute pictures every visit.”

I have had the pleasure of using Eugenia as my catsitter again, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is exceptionally communicative, always keeping me updated with detailed messages and photos, which gives me peace of mind while I'm away. Eugenia is incredibly trustworthy, consistently ensuring my cat's well-being following the instructions which I had left her. Her responsiveness is top-notch; she promptly addresses any questions or concerns, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive catsitter, Eugenia is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional pet care.
Patrice was able to accommodate my last-minute booking request to care for my cat while I was away, and I highly recommend her to all! Patrice was incredibly responsive and attentive. She ensured that my cat's needs were met, following the instructions I had left; making me feel at ease. I would highly recommend Patrice to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring catsitter!
Bianca was super helpful and reliable coming to check in on Hugo for 14 days straight. She was super sweet with Hugo and a great communicator with me, keeping the apartment in good shape and helping Hugo with any issues throughout the 2 weeks. Thank you, Bianca!!
Marissa did and amazing job as always! Punctual and our senior skittish cat loves her. Also, she keeps the space completely clean from litter and food to anything else that our angel might leave behind. It’s so refreshing to come home after a trip and not need to do a full cleanse and fumigation. Thanks Marissa!!
