“Xiao was wonderful! I hired her for drop-in visits for my two cats for over a week while we were traveling. She was reliable, followed all the instructions perfectly, and took excellent care of them. I came home to happy, content cats. I will absolutely be booking Xiao again!”
“Miriam took great care of my cat while I was away for one week. She sent me regular updates with pictures, was very punctual and, very thoughtful. Thank you so much Miriam for spending time with Peanut!”
“Yiping was excellent with my cat, Remy, who enjoyed hanging out with her while I was away. I was very glad for getting updates and pictures after each visit. It’s very clear to me that Yiping has a great way with cats and, I’m sure, with all animals.”
“Kelun is really awesome! She strongly exceed our expectations by parenting our cat when we are on leave. And you could tell that she is really caring for pets. Thx Kelun!”
About: Dogs and cats have been a meaningful part of my life for the past 18 years, and caring for them has taught me how much love, patience, and trust goes into pet care. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will truly pay attention and treat them with kindness. What sets me apart is that I’m very detail-oriented and empathetic. I notice small changes in behavior, energy, appetite, or mood, and I adjust based on what each pet needs. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and pets who need a calm, gentle approach. I can also help reinforce basic routines like feeding schedules, leash manners, and calm behavior. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Here’s a good way to phrase it: I’m currently between full-time roles, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and consistent care, and I can usually accommodate mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Because my schedule is open, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, stick closely to their routines, and be reliable for last-minute or recurring bookings. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. In my home or a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medications, and any house rules. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I always pay attention to the pet’s behavior and comfort level. I keep the environment calm, clean, and low-stress, especially for senior dogs or pets who need extra patience. I’ll also provide updates so owners know their pet is safe, cared for, and happy.
About: Hey there – my name is Nera, and I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your furry family member. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. I have a cat named Shy who is super friendly with others and a dog named Anakin who LOVES to play. I have a fenced-in back yard and a dog park down the block. Your pet will be in great hands as I tend to plan my whole day around them and what they might want to do. I follow instructions to the letter and can make certain that your pet is comfortable and loved. I do have a full-time job, so unless planned well in advance, evenings or early mornings work best for walks. House sitting over the weekend is very much doable, but may be able to swing something over the weekdays if your pet is needing more overnight stays, mixed with exercise in the morning, and a lunch break from kennels. I have a fenced-in yard and have two pets: Anakin and Shy. Shy is a very friendly cat that likes to stay under the bed anyway, so he will not bother your pet at all. Anakin is a super friendly lab mix that LOVES to play, but will not be around your dog if you request it :) Again, all instructions provided will be enforced and followed to the best of my ability. I am not afraid to ask questions if needed, but also confident in my ability to care for your pet in case you do need that time away for a vacation!
“This was a second time Ghazaal looked after our cats and she again proved to be a wonderful pet sitter! She is very responsible, communicative and took great care to keep our cats healthy and happy while we were out of town. Our yard flooded while we were away and Ghazaal went way above and beyond to keep us updated and move some big packages inside to protect them from the water. Ghazaal is great sitter and I wouldn't hesitate to have her look after our cats again!”
About: I’ve learned that the secret to a happy pup is listening to what they are trying to tell us. That’s why I adapt my sitting style to your dog's mood and personality. Dogs experience the world through their noses. If you're dog is an explorer; I am happy to accommodate their need for a slower, sniff-heavy walk. If your dog struggles with anxiety and is hesitant to even step outside the door, don't worry. I encourage them gently and treat them with the same love and respect that you do! I am available any weekend and look forward to spend spending time with your pets. Please reach out to me for availability, I’m really flexible. I set reminders for important tasks so that I can keep your pet on their schedule. I monitor any changes in their behavior, so that I know when something is wrong.
“Stacey is wonderful. Cared for our elderly dog over a long weekend. Stacey communicates in a way that shows how much she cares for our dog. Stacey was 100% reliable and we will book pet care with her again for sure.”
“Ke was very responsive and easy to coordinate meeting my cat. He was very comfortable with her. Ke spent a good amount of time with him while I was away and sent plenty of photos. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs a catsitter.”
“Colin did an excellent job taking care of my senior cat for two weeks. She provided detailed updates on my cat and followed our care instructions perfectly and even administering gabapentin during each visit. Even though our cat was not exactly the friendliest Colin was thoughtful and took care of her well. I would recommend Colin for future pet sitting!”

“Chelsey did a great job for her first time with the cats. We ran into a few tech hiccups at first but was able to have a good experience. Cats liked their playtime with Chelsey. I would definitely consider booking her again.”
“Marlo was the purrfect sitter for our shy kitty Otto. He took a shine to her immediately, even meeting her downstairs in the first days of our trip. Marlo took time to play games with him and give him the love and care he craved. She also kept his food area tidy and brought in our mail. Would definitely book Marlo again!”

Miriam was amazing! My 2 cats are typically very shy and do not engage with the sitter but they came out for her. Marshmellow, my ragdoll, came to her when she came for the meet & greet visit. My kitties were happy and well cared for during the approximately 2 weeks we were away. I was very happy with her care of my large cats and her professionalism. I would happily rebook her again for my next trip.
Fernanda accepted a last minute booking and took great care of our two cats, including giving one medication. They can be a little fickle but she understood when they wanted attention and when they didn’t. She also provided good communication and pictures every visit, so we could relax knowing they were doing well. I will definitely trust her with them in the future!
I was very impressed with G.'s visits. My cat is very skittish but when I returned from my trip, she was calm so I think G. did nothing to cause anxiety. In addition, in one of her daily reports, G. pointed out something about the cat's feeding habits. I was aware of this but felt that it was very responsible of G. to notice it after just a couple of days and bring it to my attention. I will be calling G. the next time I have a trip planned. Thank you G. for being so conscientious.
Rachel is our regular and favorite cat sitter since we joined Rover over a few years ago! She’s very reliable, has excellent communication, provides fun, detailed reports and sweet photos of my two cats. I can go on trips in peace knowing Rachel is handling everything. She takes great care of my apartment and cats and they absolutely love her! Rachel is the absolute best!
Melody responded super fast when I had a last-minute request to check on my cat. She went over to my apartment and checked on her right away. I really appreciate how quickly she replied and took action—she was a huge help! I'm incredibly grateful for her assistance.
Jonathan was absolutely incredible with our two kittens! From the moment we connected, he was easy to coordinate with and made the whole experience stress-free. He sent detailed updates throughout, so we always knew our lil cats were happy and well cared for — and you could just tell how much fun they were having with him. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely loves animals the way Jonathan does, and our kittens were in the most caring and kind hands. We’re already looking forward to booking with him again!
Yi is an amazing pet sitter. She took great care of my cat who absolutely adores her. She gave my cat plenty of play time, treats, cuddles, fresh water and clean litter. She took the time to meet up with me and my cat to learn about our space, my cat’s personality and needs. She was respectful of my home and was a great communicator. I would definitely book with Yi again!
