“Erika was a great sitter for our cats. She came by exactly when she said she would, took care to clean out their litter box, checked on their food, and gave them some attention. It's easy to ignore cats, especially when they are shy, but she took the time to sit with them and get to know them. We could tell they loved having her there because she sent a ton of photos to show that they were playing and getting lots of attention. She even helped out with watering our plants. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Payton did a wonderful job with our pups. She was on time and played with them outside. She has to stay and watch them eat their meals because one of them (Panda Sandoval) is a food thief. Buster Posey is a puppy mill pup so he has some issues. She won him over though. Thank you Payton!”
“Big thanks to Martha for taking care of my awkward/slightly difficult cats! And for making sure my senior cat got her medicine. She left a detailed account of how her visit went and sent a picture : )”
“Samantha was fantastic! My cat seemed to really enjoy hanging with her and she was very responsive and a great photographer too. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Jenna was great for checking in on my pup while I was at work! She took lots of photos and a video of their time at the park. It’s easy to tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of pets and spending time with them. I’ll definitely continue having her take care of my pets!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Kasey and Elizabeth! From the moment we connected, they were professional, friendly, and clearly experienced with animals. They took excellent care of Sunday, Ditty, and Peach, following all instructions carefully and even going above and beyond with extra playtime, updates, and photos while we were away. Our pets looked happy and well-cared for when we returned, and our home was just as we left it. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.”
“My pup was sick today and after only knowing her a day, Mrs Lauren came to the rescue. She helped take care of my girl while I was stuck at work. I am so lucky to have found her!! <3”
About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs since I was just born. I had one cat and one dog growing up both for 18 years and I currently have one cat that is 6 years old with a minor disability. My roommate has three cats. I have experience with behavior training, feedings, vet, appointment, walks, potty training, and recognizing emergencies that need immediate attention. I make my cats wellbeing a priority. They get a morning and an evening walk as well as the ability to go in and out as they please. They get wet food at the same time every day in the evening and dry food available to them always. They also get treats for behavior training and to better their tricks. I am available to complete any and all services needed to take care of your pet, whether that be in my place of residence or yours.
About: With years of experience in private and public pet boarding, I strive to uphold YOUR standard of love and care for your furry family member(s) while you’re away. While working part time at a daycare, coming home to care for my furry family members is a full time job. Although no two pets are the exact same in their care, I can assist in helping them stick to their regular routines while you’re away. Caring for pets in a clients home will be done in the same manner as they care for them while they are home. I intend to maintain regular boundaries and be consistent with rules that have already been implemented.

About: Hello! I’m Kalina, a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for a diverse array of animals. Since high school, I’ve been dog sitting and have had the pleasure of working with numerous breeds, from tiny pups to large breeds. My experience extends to households with multiple dogs, a mix of dogs and cats, and even farm animals like chickens and goats. Growing up, my home was always bustling with pets – I had three dogs, two cats, ten chickens, and three goats. This early exposure helped me develop strong animal caretaking skills and a deep understanding of their needs. I take pride in maintaining each pet’s routine and schedule to ensure they feel secure and at ease while their owners are away. In addition to providing playful and loving care, I am adept at administering medications, ensuring that your pets get their necessary treatments without any hassle. My goal is to make sure your pets are not only well cared for but also happy and stress-free. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, I’m here to offer a caring hand and a watchful eye. Let’s make your time away as relaxing as possible, knowing your furry friends are in expert hands. I currently am looking for full time work but at home 24/7 right now. On weekends if I am dog sitting that is my main priority for the weekend. I need to gather the necessary information from the pet owner. I need to know the feeding schedule, potty break schedule, any triggers (other dogs, men, loud vehicles), exercise routine, medications (if there are any), and any additional information that the owner may have. If pet sitting in their home I need to know if company is allowed/not allowed (I prefer to allow at least my boyfriend to stay with me at homes I don't know for my safety), how long I am expected to be there (overnight, often enough to play and give relief and exercise), and where I will be staying. Every home I agree to dog sit must be within an 8 mile radius of my own home.

Athena Mae J.
“I only worked with Athena for two weeks to house sit for my dog, Ellie. During this time, I had to make the decision to put Ellie down due to health and behavioral reasons. Athena made this process so much more manageable and comfortable for both myself, and Ellie. She provided tips for making Ellie more comfortable while she was alone, helped me find a way to help Ellie eat more consistently, and took her on daily walks and playtime. Athena even created imprints of my dogs paws and nose to remember her after she passed. I couldn't have asked for a more empathetic and loving dog sitter who Ellie immediately latched onto and looked forward to seeing everyday despite it being such a short time. Thank you again for everything, Athena!”

Northgate pet parents share their Rover experiences
Holly took the best care of my two cats who both require meds in the mornings and evenings. She won over their hearts and trust so that insulin injections, pills and syringe meds all went well, with lots of snuggles and playtime. Thank you so much, Holly! 🐾🐾
Payton is awesome! She was super flexible and even available for last minute changes which happens a lot with my crazy work schedule. I felt so relieved knowing she was giving my dog lots of love and cuddles while I was away. Will definitely book her again in the future. Thanks Payton!
Chynna was amazing with our two pups! One of them is on a little more on guard with people he doesn’t know and Chynna was so patient with him! They became best buds by the end of our trip. Super appreciate all the patience and helping to clean up when our dog got a little too excited. Would definitely book again!
We’re so grateful to Kelcya “Kacey” & Elizabeth B.! They took such sweet care of our kitten while we were away—making sure his food and water bowls were full, his litter box was clean, and most importantly, giving him plenty of love and playtime. He was clearly well cared for! Thank you both so much! 💛🐾
Parker was great! It was a last minute booking so we didn't do a proper meet and greet, but Parker and Sela met before. Parker was very patient with her, Sela didn't recognize her right away and was a little afraid and shy at the beginning. Parker took her time and didn't push Sela's boundaries. Everything went great after a little while. Parker was very communicative, patient and professional. Highly recommended!
Sean was a great last minute find to check in on my kitty, Nori, while I was on vacation. She warmed up to him so quickly, even jumping on his lap. He was great at sending updates and pictures too which is what every pet parent wishes for to be reassured and be able to enjoy their time away from their fur babies. I would work with Sean again 😺
Shannon took such good care of our dog while we were away on vacation! She checked on him 3 times a day and always at the scheduled time. She walked him 2-3 times a day, sent us numerous pictures, and frequently kept us updated on how he was doing. She made us feel confident that he was being well taken care of and given lots of attention, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying. We would definitely have Shannon watch him again the next time we go out of town!
I am more than overjoyed with Giselle service for drop in visits with my new pup. She is super attentive to him, plays with him plenty to get his energy out, and is great at communicating. My Patches was well taken care of under her watch, and I couldn't recommend her enough.
