About: I am a psychology student with years of dog-sitting experience. I’m calm, communicative, and focused on making pets feel comfortable and cared for every visit! I have a very flexible class schedule, especially Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays. Weekends are completely open! I’m able to plan walks and drop ins before, between, and after my classes. I’m also comfortable with overnight house sitting and can adjust my mornings as needed to match your pet’s routine. I am very respectful of routines and house rules. I carefully follow feeding, walking, and care instructions, and I always keep the space clean and tidy. I always make sure your home is left exactly as you found it, if not, better! My goal is to create a calm and safe environment where your pet feels comfortable and you feel completely at ease while you’re away.
“I had a wonderful experience with Erjin and would highly recommend them. They were reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring toward my cats. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away.”
“Laurel is an amazing cat sitter!! She made me feel so reassured while I was on my trip abroad. I can tell she really loves cats and made my sweet boy as comfortable as possible while I was gone. She does a wonderful job keeping the place tidy and her communication was superb! I’d recommend her any day. :)”
“Yiwei and Yue were wonderful! They were very responsive and easy to work with. Yue took the time to meet Nimbo before our vacation. She took notice of Nimbo's mannerisms and was familiar with the types of litter and food that we had in the house. While Yue was visiting, she noticed that the automatic pet feeder was out of dry food so she took the time to make sure that it was refilled. Thank you again for watching over Nimbo!”
“Shelly was a great choice! Every specific care task was completed. Last minute, one of my cats needed medication and she gladly took care of that as well. Shelly was punctual, communicated great, and helpful. One of my cats is super shy, but eventually opened up with Shelly (which is a good sign.) My cats were clearly happy and very-cared for. She provided up to date info after each visit and included cute photos of the two cats :) She definitely provided a sense of comfort and assurance while we were away. I would definitely recommend Shelly to other pet owners.”
“Louie loves Qianwen!! She is very communicative, very sweet & accommodating. Super flexible and reliable. Definitely will continue to have her stay with Louie when needed.”
“Another great experience with Erin! This time she was taking care of my cat for over two weeks! She did perfect work, was punctual, was very caring and loving with my cat. She is very detail oriented and will reach out to you for anything that might require your attention. You can’t go wrong with Erin!”
“Suzanne did drop in visits for our kitty while we were out of town, and she did a fantastic job. She was super attentive during the meet and greet and clearly connected with our cat during the first introduction. Our cat was immediately at ease and comfortable with her. During the drop-ins, she showed up at the time scheduled, followed our feeding and litter box instructions to a T and sent cute photos and left great notes in the app. She also brought in a package for us, which we appreciate so much! She spent the full time that we scheduled with our cat, which we appreciated immensely. Also, this was my first time using Rover, and Suzanne really helped me through the process even when I didn’t know how to schedule multiple days and then didn’t realize I had to confirm the booking. Suzanne was patient and coached me through it. I wholeheartedly recommend her. She is reliable, personable, clearly has a way with animals and is so good with cats!”
“We had a great experience with Hsuan-Chu. She took such good care of our cats and really spent time playing with them, which they loved. Clove is usually pretty shy and nervous around new people, but she actually felt comfortable with Hsuan-Chu and even warmed up to her, which meant a lot to us. Cumin also enjoyed spending time with her and clearly had a great time playing. Communication was easy, we always got thoughtful updates, and we could tell they were both happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again.”
“Yo took such amazing care of our dogs while we were out of town. She took lots of pictures and was very communicative. She went above and beyond and we will definitely book her again if we need someone to look after our pets. They absolutely loved her!”
About: I was raised with cats and dogs ever since I was a little kid. I can’t recall a time in my life where there wasn’t a furry friend around. Many of my pets I’ve had since they were babies until old age, so I have experience with animals of all age groups as well as breeds as small as chihuahuas to large Siberian huskies. I also have experience giving medications from my time watching a cavapoo with heart and lung issues. I’ve been off work the past 4 months because I recently had a baby girl and she loves our pets at home, but I want to get us out of the house more and what better way to do that than meeting new furry friends! I’m very respectful of peoples spaces and routines and always leave a space exactly as it was. I am willing and able to do whatever needs to be done to ensure the best care I am capable of providing
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, which has shaped my understanding of their needs, routines, and personalities. I’ve always been involved in caring for my own family pets, including feeding, walking, and giving them consistent attention. Beyond that, I’ve pet sat overnight and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, family, and others. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a strong sense of responsibility and feel comfortable caring for dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible and open schedule, including weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to help with last-minute needs. I’d love the chance to spend time with and care for your pets! When taking care of pets I like to keep things consistent with their usual routine by making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get regular walks, and plenty of attention and love. I aim to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away!
“Tiana did a great job with our cats! We booked every other day of a 2 week trip and she was always on time and sent lots of pictures. She also vacuumed! I would definitely recommend her and will be booking her again soon!”
“Dylan was great with my dog Bo. He encouraged my old lazy dog to get out for potty breaks on our drop in visits. He’s detail-oriented and clearly cares about animals. We will absolutely use him again.”
“Thank you, Ben, for dropping in on Marco and playing and chilling with him. He was a happy boy when I got home this afternoon. I appreciate your comments on Marco’s activities during your visits.”
“Highly recommend! She was incredibly detailed and responsible throughout the entire process. She even came over ahead of time for a meet-and-greet to familiarize herself with the entry process, which gave me great peace of mind. During the visits, she strictly followed all instructions to check on my two cats and provided very thorough, detailed updates and photos. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my babies!”
“Katy is wonderful!! She gets along so well with my dog and I can tell she really cares about him. She sends lots of cute pictures of my dog and even went above & beyond and watered my plants while I was gone.”
“Xi is great! She dropped in to take care of my two cats. Her communication was great and she was able to make friends with my boy who is usually standoffish. Both kitties were happy and healthy”

This was my third time booking with Yifei, and she has been fantastic every time. She is very responsible, responsive, and truly cares about Bonbon. I received lots of photos and updates during each visit, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Bonbon clearly likes her and was perfectly happy when I returned home. I highly recommend Yifei and will definitely book with her again.
Both my cats love Mingjie, which shows what a good sitter she is (because one of my cats is super shy but he totally remembered her from 3 months ago!) She plays with my kitties so much and takes tons of photos! I no longer have to worry when I have to go away because I know my cats are in good hands!
Ivan is very kind, detail oriented, and trust worthy as a pet sitter. We have three cats and two of them are high maintenance. Ivan was careful to give our cats their medications and daily walks outside. He played with them and frequently sent us pictures. He seemed to understand just how important our cats are to us.
Emily was extremely caring and went above and beyond by spending a lot of extra time with Luna so she wouldn't be lonely. The communication was excellent—we received consistent updates and adorable photos the entire time. We felt completely at ease knowing Luna was in such loving hands. We are so happy with the care Luna received!
Maya and I are both so happy with Suzanne’s care while I was out of town for a long weekend. She made sure all of Maya’s needs were taken care of (food, water, medication, etc), but she also spent time giving her company, attention, and love while I was away. Since Maya is a senior kitty, it was especially reassuring to know she was in such caring hands. Suzanne gave me real peace of mind, and I never had to worry about how Maya was doing while I was gone. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable cat sitter.
Zihan is amazing! She came through for me in a pinch when my cats’ auto feeder ran out of food and I needed an emergency drop-in. She handled it without any fuss and went above and beyond by giving my cats treats and some playtime too. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat sitter!
Laurel took great care of my cats! I felt very at peace going on a trip with her taking care of them when my usual petsitter was not available. She gave the shy cat that won't come out for anyone space after getting proof-of-life to assuage my anxious mind, and the bolder cat lots of cuddles and playtime <3
Sierra was absolutely amazing with our kittens. Before our trip, one of them unexpectedly needed medication, and Sierra handled all the care instructions so carefully and confidently. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She constantly kept us updated with photos and videos from every visit, and it was obvious from the way the kittens interacted with her that they genuinely liked and trusted her. She also took her time playing with them and making sure they got attention, affection, and enrichment, not just the basic care. She didn’t just “check in” on them, she truly cared for them like they were her own. We came back to two happy, comfortable kittens, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Would highly recommend Sierra to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter!
Xi was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She took great care of them and sent several updates that put my mind at ease. My dogs felt very comfortable with her right away, which is always the most important thing. I will definitely be booking Xi again for future walks!
Carissa was a great catsitter for our two cats while we were away from home for a few weeks. She was very caring to our cats and was consistent in her text and picture updates to us every day. Carissa was thorough in her following of our instructions to care for our cats, and most importantly her friendly demeanor created an environment where our cats quickly became comfortable and friendly with Carissa. This caring and kind attitude was very much appreciated by our cats and they loved her affectionateness and willingness to play with them for their exercise and enjoyment while we were away from home for a period. If we leave our home again, we would definitely hire Carissa again. We strongly recommend her as a catsitter who is not only experienced in animal care but also a kind and friendly person who can naturally get along with any animal.
