“Aisha was very flexible and supportive when my travel plans were disrupted. I'm grateful for their reassurance that my fur baby was safe, comfortable, and happy!”
“My pup loved Carolina! Her communication was 10/10 and she sent lots of pictures of my fur baby making my trip away from him so much easier. Will be booking again!”
“Emily was great! She followed all the instructions I left for checking on my cats. During her drop-in visit, she played with them and sent plenty of pictures. She is moving soon, otherwise I would be a repeat client!”
“Rosanna was amazing! She took great care of my 4 babies while I was away. She communicated well, sent pictures and even did extra stuff like cut my babies nails and cleaned up messes that they’ve made. I will be booking Rosanna every time! 10 stars!”
“Emily was super great with our two kitties when we were away for a weekend. One of our cats needs medication twice a day, and Emily administered it with ease and sent lots of pics from her drop-ins. It was so great to come back and see our cats had been well cared for!”
“Johanna watched my dog Lucy and cat Dawson during Christmas, and she went above and beyond to make sure they received the attention they needed! She made sure I was in the loop with everything happening with them. I could tell they were well taken care of when I got back! She was great!”
“Gwinevere came to take care of my Bubba amid a family emergency and performed admirably. I contacted her from another state with several drop-in requests for my kitty, without having a chance to meet her beforehand or prepare complete instructions. She showed up and took care of basic things and gave her companionship to Bubba and I could hear him meowing in the background with gratitude! I would gladly hire Gwinevere again knowing she would take good care of my furbaby.”
“Anne was amazing with my two cats. My first booking with her was the longest I’ve ever left my cats alone by almost double. She made sure to give them tons of attention, brush my long hair cat, and even swept up litter around my apartment. She sent lots of great pictures and kept me updated. Highly recommended!”
“Rebecca did a great job and really went above and beyond! She always sent pictures of the cats and updates, completed everything I asked of her, and even helped with things I didn't anticipate needing, like having to refill the litter in the litter box. She also was always very quick to respond!”
“Dajsa was a fantastic sitter for our cat, Mindy, during our vacation. She provided clear and constant communication, sharing multiple pictures per drop-in visit. Will absolutely choose to work with her again in the future.”
“Yuan took such great care of my elderly cat Annie when I was out of town. Annie is very very shy and does not warm up to people often, but Yuan seems to have the magic touch :). She was responsible, responsive, and overall great to work with. I felt very at ease knowing Annie was in good hands. Absolutely recommend Yuan’s services!”
“I can always count on Katherine to help me with my pet while I’m out of town! She is sure to take pics to update & I’m glad I get to choose her to provide this service caring for my pet!”
“Yiming is so great! She has looked after Walter a couple of times and is so easy to communicate with, and I know Walter is having a great time!”
“Yesenia is wonderful! She is extremely reliable and she really pays attention to my puppy. It is very reassuring knowing she is taking care of my dog. 10/10 recommend!”
“What a great time Beaux has every time he goes to Ari's. He gets pampered and treated so well, he must think of it like a spa day! Beaux always comes home so calm and relaxed after spending time with Ari. So glad to have a sitter as thoughtful and caring as Ari.”
“Jessica did a fantastic job for our Hopper! She’s attentive to details, and willing to go above and beyond to get things done well, not just done! Thank you, Jessica! See you again in August!”
“Asha took care of Pianot during drop-in visits. Everything went smoothly, and it was just as great as the last time she kept him at her home. She’s always reliable, attentive, and caring. Highly recommend!”
“Iris has been dog sitting Frankie in my apartment for a while now and she’s been my first and only choice ever since day one! Frankie is a nervous dog but he immediately loved Iris and she loves him too so I feel great leaving him with her looking after him. She’s really flexible as my job as a nanny and student means my days are never the same. I recently went away on vacation and decided to have Frankie stay with Iris at her house and she’s sent so many photos and videos I can tell he’s having the best time and he’s being so well looked after! He loves being with her and it means I can feel happy knowing he’s safe and with someone who really loves him! Recommend 10000000% !!!”
“I can’t thank Brittany enough for taking such great care of my little puppy! He was so happy when I came home :) she gave such good updates, sent pictures and left a detailed report after she left.”
About: I had the joy of growing up with a Labrador, two Chihuahuas, a Yorkie, and a Japanese Spitz. Each one taught me about the dedication and joy of caring for these companions! I’ve also volunteered at the Humane Society, where I tended to dogs of various sizes and temperaments. I’ve been working on Rover for 4 years, and dog-sitting/walking outside of Rover for 10+ years. I am a graduate student with a very flexible schedule during both weekdays and weekends. Please message me for any scheduling questions you may have. With years of pet experience, I know to always put the animal's safety first. Whether that's checking a harness before a walk or making sure that they only eat the food they are allowed to eat, these things are always at the top of my mind. I have a lot of experience with more reactive dogs, so I know how to make sure that they are safe on walks. You can always expect photo updates while I'm with your dog :) If anything comes up, I will be sure to check in with you right away.

Yimming did a great job checking on Huey when I was out of town for a couple of says. Highly recommend
Maddie took such great care of our two kitties, giving them lots of love and playtime. She was communicative, and sent great updates and pictures. We felt super comfortable and at ease knowing they were in great hands and look forward to booking her again!
Great communication & attentive care for our 1yr old kitty. Leta completed all the care items we requested; feeding, litter and play. She also updated us on how our cat was handling our first away trip. 10/10 recommend! - new cat owner, first time Rover user
Michele is by far the best cat sitter we’ve had. She’s fantastic with the kitties and sends videos full of all the love she’s sharing with them while are gone.
Rebekah was amazing! Our kitties instantly felt comfortable with her and she was very communicative (updates and lots of pics!). We will definitely be booking her again 😊
Anna was amazing! She sent lots of photos and updates about our cats while we were away. Our shy cats even came out to see her every time!
Marissa did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our three cats! Took time before the booking to come over to the apartment, walk through everything, and pick up the keys. Daily messages and photo updates made me so happy ! Followed all instructions thoroughly. I could tell Marissa genuinely enjoyed getting to know the kitties which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away, highly recommend!
Anne is a wonderful pet sitter and we’re so lucky to have found her! She truly has a gift with animals - my very skittish and shy cat was comfortable with her almost immediately - and she sends thoughtful updates that we look forward to whenever we are out of town. Thanks for everything!
Paula was great with my cat! She has a lovely presence and I felt very comfortable entrusting my cat to her care. Lots of great photos and pics. Thank you, Paula!
Awesome sitter my cat’s love him. Ian is very communicative and very responsible and responsive. Highly recommend his service.
Fiona took such great care of our cats while we were out of town. I was quite anxious to leave them for over a week but she definitley put me at ease sending great updates and pictures!
Bridget was very nice and took great care of our cat! She gave us updates on how our cat was doing and sent us pictures after the visit!
I highly recommend Lemon! She did an amazing job looking after our tiny Chihuahua. She was kind, patient, and very responsible. We will seek her out for our next pet sitting need.
Loved that Victoria took notes when she arrived at our first meet up. It’s the little details that count. She’s thorough and a good communicator. I knew my cat was in good hands.
Nora is great! Came on time to the minute, very knowledgeable and responsible, listened carefully, and the pups LOVED being around her.
Beth is an amazing sitter for your cats! Exceptional communication and gorgeous pictures. She was available to augment the number of her trips to my place after my cat had surgery and needed a bit more care, and she won over my territorial and standoff-ish cat even post surgery.
