Your Pet’s WFH Best Friend

I've been caring for dogs, cats, and other pets for over 10 years, and nothing makes me happier than spending time with animals. I previously had two Labradoodles of my own, and today I'm a proud cat parent to two spoiled kitties who are my whole world! I have experience with pets of all sizes and personalities—from tiny Shih Tzus to giant but gentle Irish Wolfhounds even bearded dragons—and I understand that every animal has unique needs, routines, and quirks. Having lived with cats throughout all four years of college and cared for pets in a variety of settings, I know how important it is to earn each pet's trust and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I know that every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal schedule, so I'll follow your care instructions closely. In your home, I'll treat both your pet and your space with the same care and respect I would my own. I'll make sure doors, gates, and harnesses are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during each visit, and provide plenty of love and attention while you're away. I also believe communication is key, so you can expect regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

She has been an amazing dog walker and now my puppy’s dog sitter. She is incredibly reliable, communicates well, and truly understands my puppy’s personality and needs, which gives me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog like it’s their own.

Tessa watched our cats while we were out of town and we are so grateful that she did! She showed up on time every day and they loved her so much. Tessa handled their prescription wet food diet with care and even sent photos of them to us while we were away! I couldn’t recommend Tessa enough!

Before caring for your pet, I'd love to know as much as possible about their routine and personality! Things like their feeding schedule, favorite toys or activities, any medications or medical conditions, fears or anxieties, and how they typically interact with new people are all incredibly helpful.
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.
