“This was my very first time booking with Rover and Cassandra did a great job. It definitely put my mind at ease having her take care of our dog while we were away. Thank you!!”
“Michelle took such wonderful care of my cats! She’s incredibly nice and attentive. She provides excellent visit reports with the cutest pictures to let me see how they were doing which made me feel better about being away.”
“Molly did drop-in visits for my cat Maizie while I was out of town and she was great! Maizie can be shy and anxious with new people and Molly was very patient with her. Molly was also willing to administer Maizie's daily oral medication (and to build the necessary trust with Maizie to do so), which was very important to me. I also appreciated how communicative Molly was and how quickly she responded to questions I had while I was away. I would definitely recommend Molly for cat-sitting/cat care!”
“Tamara has been a wonderful support to our family. She’s a quick learner, is patient and communicates well. Our team pups enjoy her and always look forward to their walks with her.”
“Patricia took good care of our cat in our week-longabsence. There was some slight miscommunication in dates, but Patricia was more than accommodating to ensure our cat got the number of visits required.”
“Sarah is professional, caring, and communicative and gave regular updates which I really appreciated. My cat was totally relaxed when I got home. Sarah is my new go to cat sitter!”
“Mariam did a fantastic job watching our cat! She was very communicative and professional; she updated us after every visit and sent lots of pictures. 10/10 would recommend and will be using her services again!!”
“Daphne was amazing with our fur babies and gave them all the love while we were gone. She was as punctual, professional and caring. She was as excellent with communication and follow up. We will use her service again knowing the dogs are taken care of.”

About: My pet care journey began at age 12, when I started dog sitting for my aunt while she was out of town. From then on, I knew caring for animals was something I genuinely enjoyed. I don’t just walk dogs or feed cats—I build real connections with every animal I care for. My approach is rooted in patience, attentiveness, and understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe and loved while their people are away. I also prioritize communication with pet parents—daily updates, photos, and check-ins are always part of the package. I currently have a sweet gray cat named Nala, but I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs—and I can’t wait to share my care and attention with more of them! Whether you need daily walks or extended stays, my open availability makes planning easy and stress-free. I am available for both last-minute bookings and regular care routines. When I’m caring for pets in someone else’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I would my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident that both your pet and home are in good hands. I always follow any instructions closely, maintain consistent routines, and provide regular updates—so you’re never left wondering how things are going. You can trust that your furry family member—and your home—will be treated with care, professionalism, and integrity.
About: I am a responsible and energetic animal lover! I enjoy taking walks and being outdoors. I have a lifetime of personal experience and 3 years of professional pet experience. I love giving pets lots of love and plenty of fun and exercise. I plan to volunteer at my neighborhood dog rescue. I currently Dog/House sit for a family that I nanny for. I always want to provide my families and pup friends with an amazing experience. I grew up with a Rottweiler named Thunder. She was the love of my life. We did almost everything together. My bestfriend. That's the bond I am trying to provide to every furry and feathery friend that crosses my path. I hope to bring your furry friend the same joy and good times I gave mine.
About: I have always owned a variety of pets and enjoy their company. I also enjoy long walks on trails in my free time, I would say it's one of my hobbies apart from exploring the city. I have always been very fond of animals and hope to work with them someday. For now i would be happy doing any sort of work that involves animals. I'm currently available to work as either a sitter or walker and am hoping to try it out soon. I actually have a very flexible schedule! Please just message me and I will respond promptly. Thank you for reading, have a great day today! I have experience petsitting at other peoples homes so no need to worry about me! If housed at my home I have a cat running around so no cat biters!
About: I've raised and trained two dogs from the ground up-meaning I've cleaned up accidents at 3AM, taught "sit" a hundred times, and celebrated every little win like it was graduation day. I know how much love, patience, and consistency it takes, especially with puppies. I treat every dog like my own- with calm, energy, structure, and tons of love. Even on my busiest days, my pets get taken care of before I do. That's just how I move. Making animals feel safe, loved, and seen is part of my everyday routine-and it never feels like work to me. Its natural. When I care for pets- mine or someone else's- I make sure they're clean, fed, and happy. I give them plenty of attention and play time. I even sit with them while they eat to comfort them and help prevent food aggression. I show up for them no matter. They know when they're loved- and I make sure they feel that.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a child. I’ve loved animals since I can remember and I am very passionate about their wellbeing. I have experience with a variety of breeds and with senior care. I have not had a a dog in my home since my 17 year old chihuahua, Taco Bell, passed away last year. He was my heart and with not having a furry friend at home any longer any chance I’ve gotten to interact with any pup since has filled me with so much joy. Pets are family and I will care for yours as if they were my own. I’m just getting started on Rover and my schedule is very flexible. I can work my day around your pet and their needs. If you choose me as a repeat sitter I will gladly adapt to your pets schedule. Will more than likely be picking up a part time job within the next month or so so please keep in mind my schedule will be more limited when that time comes. I care for others pets as if they were my own. I’m currently unable to host pets in my own home but I will gladly take care of your baby in the comfort of their own home. Being in a familiar environment will help your pet feel more at ease and comfortable. I will be mindful and respectful of your space while I am there. I will follow whatever routines you have in place for your pet to ensure their peace and happiness.

“Mellanie is a great pet sitter and dog walker. She takes my two senior dogs outside and gives them extra care. One dog is blind and deaf, and requires assistance going up and down the ramp.Mellanie has shown such care and love for them. I also have a 6 month old puppy that requires extra attention due to her high energy. Mellanie is able to balance taking my senior dogs out and taking my puppy out and giving them what they need. Our I household also has a cat. Mellanie has pets sat the animals while we have gone on vacation. I highly recommend her for the professionalism, patience and care that she gives my fur babies.”
