Your pet's favorite therapist

Pet care experience

Cat dad and people therapist during regular business hours, pet caretaker for the love of it! In particular, I've been told I'm a cat whisperer. I think it's because I have big time cat energy. I love earning any pet's trust and watching their little personalities come out! I've had cats, dogs, rodents, fish, and reptile of various types, sizes, and medical needs since I was a kid. I’ve also cared for pets for family and friends on the side. Additionally, I'm an end-of-life doula for people and animals. ❤️

Sam is the best. My cat still only wants work him. It is such a relief to know my boy is in good hands while I’m away.

Sam is great. My cat Bert only trusts him as a sitter. He sends us lots of pictures and even a few videos.

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.
