“Jeena had been the most amazing cat sitter. I have an anxiety-monkey cat who needs to be fed at very specific times, and Jeena has always fed them on the dot. She is incredibly communicative and responsive, checking in with me at each meal as requested. Jeena also leaves my apartment in pristine condition and with everything exactly as I left it—even though she stays overnight as needed with my kitties. Every time I have come home, the litter has been immaculately clean, as has been the garbage and the rest of the apartment. My cats also tell me that Jeena has been incredibly sweet and caring towards them, as is obvious by their demeanor when I return. Love the pictures of cuddling with the cats that put my mind at ease about leaving them with a sitter, thank you Jeena!”
“Nicki watched our two dogs and cat. She was flexible on her last day when I asked if she could stay a little later than originally discussed. She followed our instructions and when we came back our house was very clean, which is always greatly appreciated!”
“Autumn did such a wonderful job with our pup! We recently rescued her and she can be very anxious with strangers, but she warmed up quickly to Autumn. We were worried leaving her at home for the first time but were quickly reassured by the photos and updates Autumn sent. 10/10 would recommend her!”
“Erica was fantastic. She kept in touch with us frequently with photos for an update on how our pets were doing. She even mentioned the neighborhood pets met on her frequent dog walks. That put our mind at ease while we were away on a 4 day trip. Erica took great care of our Poodle mix, Pepper and our cat Lily. We really appreciated the report card and welcome home by our happy relaxed pet family, when we returned home. It was very obvious that our pets enjoyed her! From her initial meet and greet before our trip to the farewell, our home was well cared for as well as our pets. We were so impressed by her care. We will definitely request to have Erica come back the next time.”
“Asia is a wonderful sitter. She kept Cooper for an extended period for me and was very flexible with scheduling. She has extensive experience with dogs and can read cues and knows how to give them space if needed, especially for my anxious pup. I came home to a clean house and living plants too :) I will definitely be rebooking with Asia when I can in the future. Thank you so much!”
“Callie was absolutely amazing while house-sitting my dog for 3 nights! She gave me multiple updates everyday with pictures and videos. A truly anxiety-free experience and would 100% book again.”
“Julia is amazing!! She’s kind, reliable, and so easy to work with. She made us feel completely comfortable leaving our dogs with her, and when we got back, they were happy and well cared for. We can’t wait to have her back. Five stars all the way—highly recommend!!!”
“Super grateful to Theron and Alx for being able to help me out last minute. They are adorable and I felt very comfortable with them. My girl was happy when I returned and I will use again !”
“Lawrence took great care of our dog and house while we were away— would definitely recommend him! Our dog is often anxious around new people but she liked him pretty much immediately.”
“Another wonderful experience with D’Andra! She takes such good care of our pets. We appreciate all the pictures and the open communication. Highly recommend her for peace of mind when traveling.”
“Becky did a wonderful job caring for my pet. She was very happy and relaxed when I returned home and my house was in great shape. I will definitely ask Becky to help me again with my pet when I leave town next.”

About: I've been taking care of pets, mostly cats, for the past 3–4 years. This includes feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and providing companionship. I’ve also administered medication to my own cat, so I understand the patience and care needed for pets with special needs. I love getting to know each pet I meet, understanding their unique personalities, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in my care! I’m available for drop-ins weekdays before and after work, as well as around lunchtime. I’m also available for house sitting most days with advanced notice. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care by ensuring they are always supervised and secure. I carefully follow owners' instructions and maintain clear communication. My goal is to provide a calm, stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs.
“Tess was amazingly helpful with my dog, Boston!! He is a big dog with a lot of energy and I always worry that he might be a lot to handle for anyone coming over, and this was my first experience using Rover. Everything went seamlessly and I couldn’t recommend Tess enough!!”
“Jared was great. He is fantastic with the dogs and kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and updates daily. We would 100% recommend him to take care of our animals and house.”
“Maureen has watched my dogs twice now, and both times is great at communicating, taking care of the house, and giving the dogs all the things discussed prior to her overnight stays!”
“Rose did an amazing job taking care of our dog Greta over the weekend in our home! She was super professional, sent constant updates and was very disciplined with the instructions we gave her. She also was proactive at organizing a meet and greet where I could tell she loves dogs (our dog loved her!). Will definitely book again!”

Sits Y.
“Sits is an outstanding pet sitter! I had the pleasure of having her cat-sit for me while I was away on vacation, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She took care of all four of my cats and house-sat for an entire week, and texted me with regular updates and pictures. It was such a relief to know that my cats were in good hands! She kept me informed and reassured, and I felt completely at ease during my time away. Her love for animals really shows through in her care. I highly recommend her as a reliable and caring pet sitter—she truly goes above and beyond!”
