“Nicole did such a great with my cat Lalo! Despite being a shy cat, he warmed up to her. Nicole is also very responsive and accommodating to my schedule. Overall, would recommend Nicole to take care of anyone’s cat!”
“Rick is absolutely amazing. We have two sweet, but anxious pups and they were immediately in love with him. Rick was attentive to them, kept us informed, and was so understanding/respectful of maintaining the same environment for the pups that we try to keep while at home. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dogsitter or walker!”
About: Here to take care of your home or your fuzzy friends (cats and dogs). I have years of experience in caring for dogs of all ages and house-sitting. I have experience in cat care as well. If you have a puppy with the zoomies, an old dog running on naps, a shy kitty, plants that need watering, or a home that needs checking in on I'm here to provide reliable loving care. I offer house sitting, dog-walking, pet sitting, and pet-check ins. I'm currently a graduate student with a light course load. Much of my work is done virtually/asynchronously, so I have a lot of flexibility and free time to care for your pet and home when you need, even on short notice. I have experience in caring for many different animals: dogs of all sizes, cats, rabbits, horses, and more! Prior to graduate school, I worked as an ICU nurse. I am a professional caregiver. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs. Just tell me what your furry friend or home needs and I will follow your instructions to a T.
“Jassmyne was so easy to work with and took such great care of our cat and home while we were away. She was super responsive and sent daily updates and pictures to keep us informed. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter for their cat.”
“Jessica is very responsive. We had her visit with our shy cat for 1 hour a day, for 14 days while we were in japan. Despite the significant time difference, we were able to communicate effectively when anything came up. She gave daily update and pics. The house was clean when we returned home. Jessica followed all instructions left for her. Jessica provided very important food monitoring (our cat gets very depressed when we are away, and sometimes stops eating, or even pukes it up sometimes). We really appreciate her efforts and attention to detail, it was well worth the cost for the 14 day 1 hour visits for our peace of mind. Much better experience working with Jessica through Rover than any other pet sitting service we have used in the past. She even brought in our mail for us. We hope to work with her again in the future.”
“Carole always leaves detailed descriptions of each visit and takes the best photos. She is so thorough and I appreciate the affection she shows our cats. I have booked with her for over 8 trips now throughout this year and will continue to book with her.”
“Jen was fantastic! The rate was affordable and a great value for how well cared for my cat was. She clearly loves animals and wants them to feel comfortable. I feel like Saturn has a new friend who he loves to play with. I will 100% be booking with Jen again in the future!”
“Kiarra reliably visits Boo, although my ‘scaredy cat’ is not the greatest ‘host’. She refuses to come out, but when I return, she is well fed, clean, and ready to play. I strongly recommend Kiarra.”
About: I’ve had several large breed dogs since I was a child. I am comfortable handling dogs that pull and are like little tanks. My rottie used to stop and sniff everything, and he set our pace on walks. I’m an adjunct English professor, so I can also help your pets with their college admission essays.I am open all summer, but will be teaching in the evenings this fall. I can’t currently care for your pets in my apartment, because my cats said no, but I will be respectful and careful in your home.
“Mary Rose was great! One of our cats is a bit of a curmudgeon, but she did great with him and was accommodate his medication and feeding needs. She was easy to schedule with and very communicative!”
“My cat rarely warms up to people and Crystals photo updates show him all over her :) This is our second time working with Crystal and her updates and visits ease the separation anxiety when you have to leave your pet. I highly recommend working with her!”
“Molly was a wonderful sitter for my cat Carl while I was away on vacation for a week. She sent cute photos of him during her drop-in visits and always had a sweet update about how Carl was doing. I highly recommend Molly as a pet sitter and would definitely book her again!”
“Olivia did a wonderful job house sitting and caring for our two cats. One of our cats is older with a few health issues and he gets pills twice a day in addition to a specific feeding schedule. Olivia was so excellent at keeping our kitty on his schedule and also keeping us informed along the way. Our house was in perfect condition when we got home and our kitties were happy & healthy! I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone!”
“Leah was a fantastic pet sitter! She took care of our two cats over Christmas and gave detailed updates everyday. This was our first time using Rover and we had a brief meet and greet beforehand that went very well. Leah is reliable and trustworthy - we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!!”
“Natalie was fantastic, she was so consistently communicative and incredibly thoughtful throughout the weekend that we had her cat sitting for us, and really obviously cared about our fur babies! She brought extra treats for the cats and used their favorite toys during her drop-in visits, and was very attentive and attuned to what the girls needed and were comfortable with from her as they got to know her for the first time. It was such a relief knowing our kitties were in great hands while we were away, and it sounded like the cats warmed right up to Natalie too, even though they usually really take their time getting comfortable around new people! She'll be my first call next time we need a cat sitter!”

Azeen was wonderful! We were away for a week and she came in everyday to check in on our sweet girl Ruby. Azeen left detailed comments and was very communicative through the whole week. She even was able to come during a snow storm (greatly appreciative) to make sure our Ruby girl was safe. We would definitely have Azeen help out again!
As always Leah came through for us when we last mintue needed to go out of town for a funeral. Our elderly cat Booger seems to be happier when she comes to see him. It is great to know that our little old man is being cared for and in good company when we can't be here. We appreciate all that she does for him and he clearly seems to love having a new friend visit him.
Phoenix went absolutely above and beyond for this job. I hired him to care for three stray cats living outdoors during cold weather, and he was incredibly reliable & professional. If you are looking for a sitter who is communicative, tough, and truly cares about the animals' well-being, hire Phoenix. He is a lifesaver!
Dustin is the absolute best! It’s only because of him I was able to leave for two weeks and enjoy time with my loved ones for the holidays. He is trustworthy, consistent, and reliable. He was patient with my girl, Marshmallow, and accommodated to her needs. My family and I are so grateful for Dustin, and I plan to rebook him in the future.
Cannot recommend Veronica enough! She was so sweet with my two cats and was super communicative. I really appreciated how flexible she was and how much of an effort she made to ensure my two cats were comfortable and could adjust to having someone new around. Will definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone!
