Pet care experience

Attentive, loving pet care.

I have worked in the veterinary field for over 20 years and I fell into pet-sitting because my co-workers and clients kept asking if I was available. I am honest, reliable and always have the best interest of your pet in mind. My years of veterinary work have taught me to prioritize your pets health and safety, as well as that of your home and property.

House Sitting • Apr 20, 2026

Well Roberta knocked it out of the park according to Chidi and Ellie. On time, present, and engaged... no meals missed, no treats too small, walks in the park and ball chasing in the back yard. Roberta did it all and kept us on our toes! Thank you for a great week while Dad was away, we much appreciate it!

House Sitting • Sep 22, 2025

Roberta was amazing! Her care for animals is top-notch, and her housesitting, communication, and reliability was great. She let me know if there were any issues that came up at the house, which of course they always do! And communicated proactively, with care and clarity, to ensure the animals were all set up for success. Since this was a large property and crew (8 animals total), I can't recommend her enough. Will be rebooking and referring my neighbors. :)

As someone who is a bit neurotic about being apart from my cats, I felt extra appreciative and grateful when we found Roberta. She embodies everything you would want in a petsitter - responsible, caring, warm, resourceful, reliable, loving and attentive to animals, and a pleasure for us humans to interact with, too. I felt 100% secure leaving my two cats under her care (which is saying a lot), and every time my husband and I returned from a trip, I had every indication that our little fluffy ones received the very best care - including a charming note and/or text letting me know how everyone was doing. I whole-heartedly and enthusiastically recommend her as a petsitter.

I would highly recommend Roberta to care for your fur babies!! She has an extensive background in veterinary medicine which gave me peace of mind. Roberta watched my 6 month old puppy for me over a long weekend while my husband and I went out of town. My pup took to her right away, which is remarkable, as my baby girl is kinda shy. We will definitely hire her again!

Roberta is passionate about animals and is incredibly trustworthy. She watched my pets for years; they may have liked Roberta more than they liked me! When I would come home from my travels, my house always looked great. Roberta respected my privacy and I never hesitated to have her stay at my home. She loves pets and is mature, responsible and diligent. Could not recommend her more!

Roberta is truly one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had. She is extremely responsible, reliable, and always goes above and beyond to make sure my pets are happy and comfortable. She has a real gift with animals, and you can tell she genuinely cares about their well-being. My German Shepherd has some anxiety issues, and I was worried about leaving him, but Roberta’s calm and gentle approach has made a huge difference. He loves her and feels safe with her, which means the world to me. I trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a caring, responsible, and experienced pet sitter.

I currently am employed part-time at a local veterinary clinic which affords me plenty of time to offer morning, midday and evening care as needed.

Cats

Please tell me if your pet has any health issues. Is it normal for them to vomit sometimes? Or skip meals here and there. Do they get soft stools frequently or poop in the house. I want to know the things that are normal for them, that you are used to, but could surprise or worry me a little bit. Is there behavioral stuff that I should know about? Are they terrified of loud noises? Do they go nuts when they see the dog next door? Is there a particular spot that the cat always hides in when people come over? And, please let me know of any safety details. Is there a hole in the fence that the dog can get out of? Is there someone who has access to the house that I need to be aware of?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
