Christina was incredible with my cat! She was very thorough, caring, and treated my cat as if she were her own. Christina went above and beyond, even spending extra time with her most days. She also made sure my apartment stayed clean and provided constant pictures and feedback. I felt so grateful knowing that my cat was in such great care while I was very far away. When I returned, my cat was very calm and happy, which shows she remained relaxed while I was away!

Peter was great and I would definitely book with him again. He was very thorough, prompt, and followed all of my instructions exactly. I really appreciated the detailed notes he left after each visit, and it was clear from his updates that he took his time and genuinely interacted with my animals instead of just rushing through the visits. He made me feel comfortable knowing my animals were taken care of, and everything was handled professionally from start to finish. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and great with pets.

Jadis was an excellent choice to watch my two dogs while I was away on vacation. From the very beginning, she made everything feel effortless…communicating clearly, showing genuine care, and keeping me updated so I never felt unsure about how my dogs were doing. My dogs were calm and happy when I returned, which says a lot about the attention and routine Jadis maintained. I could tell they were comfortable in Jadis’s presence. I’m genuinely grateful to have found someone trustworthy. I’d absolutely book her again for future trips and would recommend Jadis to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog sitter.

About: I have taken care of family members dogs on and off since I was 10. I also have a cat myself so I am well equipped to take care of your fur baby! I am currently on summer break from college, so I have a free schedule to take care of your pup through the week, including weekends. I am primarily looking to do dog walking services, where your dog and I will walk around town, and get our steps in together! I may be open to house visits after getting to know your pet.

About: Growing up, my childhood home was affectionately known as "The Zoo"—and for good reason! From dogs and cats to bunnies, hamsters, hermit crabs, and fish, I’ve spent my life surrounded by a diverse cast of creatures. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve transitioned from a kid who loved animals to a seasoned caregiver who understands the nuances of pet behavior and health. I’m particularly well-versed in specialized care; I can confidently administer medications and manage complex health routines and I’m a dedicated "cat parent" to my own senior kitty who has CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease), so I truly understand the patience, vigilance, and extra TLC required for pets with chronic conditions. Whether your pet is high-energy or requires more care, they’ll be in experienced, loving hands. I am home all day with open availability and would love to fit your special furry loved one into my schedule and keep them company! I believe that every interaction should be rooted in building a genuine foundation of trust; when an animal feels secure, they can truly thrive. This bond is especially vital for pets requiring special care or medications—I take the time to move at their pace so that even during medical routines, they feel safe, happy, and relaxed rather than stressed.

Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.

About: I started working with animals at 18, from dog grooming to caring for friends’ pets. Over time, I learned that every animal has its own personality and needs, and that patience and compassion are key to gaining their trust. Now, as a proud mom of two dogs, my love for animals has only grown stronger, and it inspires me to treat every pet with the same level of care I give my own. currently work at a beauty salon from Tuesday to Saturday, but I have a flexible schedule, especially from Tuesday to Thursday. I’m fully available on Mondays. From Tuesday to Thursday, I can care for your little ones in the mornings or after 5:00 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are a bit more limited for me, but with advance planning, I’m happy to help. I can take them on walks, assist with feeding, or keep them company at night if they’re home alone. I adapt with love, commitment, and responsibility to their needs. I provide a calm, safe environment with lots of love and patience. I can care for your pet in your home or visit for walks, feeding, and companionship. I’m flexible, respectful of routines, and treat every fur baby like family.

Geoff provided amazing and attentive care for our 4 1/2 yo cat while we were away for 6 days. She was alone for the first time since we brought her home from the shelter 6 months ago and we were concerned about her getting lonely. He did a great job of earning her trust and keeping us informed along the way. We returned home to a healthy and well adjusted cat. Thank you, Geoff!

Victoria is a fantastic pet sitter. She cared for my two senior cats over two visits. One of my cats is blind and requires daily medications and eye drops, but Victoria helped me feel at ease while I was traveling. Victoria handled his care routine with such patience and attentiveness, and it was clear she took the time to make sure he was comfortable and stress-free. Her detailed Rover cards after each visit were so reassuring, and she sent plenty of photos so I could see for myself that both cats were happy and in good hands. Senior cats can come with extra needs and a little more complexity, and Victoria didn't miss a beat. If you have older pets or animals with special requirements, I would highly recommend Victoria. We'll definitely be booking again.

Yong was an excellent Rover sitter for my cats. He was incredibly diligent, followed every instruction exactly, and made sure their medications were administered properly—which was especially important to me. He was also very communicative throughout the stay, sending plenty of pictures and thoughtful updates that gave me total peace of mind.

We’ve had several different cat sitters over the years as we moved through different neighborhoods, and Rivera is by far the best we’ve ever had and my cat’s absolute favorite. My cat, who is usually shy with new people, warmed up to her right away. Rivera sends thoughtful updates and photos, which gives me peace of mind when I am away. If you are looking for someone who loves animals and is reliable, she’s the one.
