“Casey was great! Very communicative, and super helpful. She sent us some great pictures of our dog, and it looked like she was very playful with him. We came home to a very happy dog!”
“Karla was great and we can't thank her enough for taking great care of our cats on short notice. The cats are usually extremely shy around new people and will hide when they come in to the house. But they warmed up to Karla quickly and we got lots of pictures of happy cats being played with and entertained. A+++”
“Kenny is wonderful. He is reliable, caring and engaged with my cat Keanu to keep him safe and entertained while we were away. He responded to my questions and provided feedback daily. I hope to use his services again”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, frogs, birds, lizards, a ferret, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. My last pet was a cat, and even though I don’t currently have pets, I truly enjoy being around them. I’ve owned dogs all of my life and have had several breeds over the years including pitbulls, a Boston Terrier, a French Bulldog, and a Boxer, so I am very comfortable with different sizes and personalities. I have walked and cared for both of my aunts dogs. My one aunt has a French Bulldog and the other has a mastiff, and I always made sure they were fed, let out, and comfortable. I also cared for a pitbull while babysitting, handling his feeding, bathroom breaks, and daily routine. Dogs are my specialty because I have the most hands on experience with them, but I enjoy caring for all pets. I am responsible, patient, and confident with many different breeds and temperaments, and I always make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well taken care of. I also plan on getting a red eared slider turtle soon because I love learning about and caring for different types of animals. I am currently on summer vacation, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the week. When the fall semester starts, my classes will only be on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which keeps my schedule very open. I am available from 6 am to 3 pm to take care of your pets, and I make sure to plan my day around giving them the attention and care they need. When I am caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routines and instructions closely to make sure their pets feel safe and comfortable. I pay attention to details like feeding times, bathroom breaks, and keeping their space clean. I take my time with each pet so they never feel rushed or stressed, and I always make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure. My goal is to create a calm and trustworthy environment so your pets feel relaxed and well cared for while you are away.

I handle everything from basic health checks and medication schedules to professional grooming needs like bathing, brushing out matted fur, and trimming nails. I have a highly flexible schedule that makes pet care my top priority. Because my routine allows for open availability, I am free for weekday walks, daytime check-ins, and dedicated weekend boarding to give your pet constant attention. I love making pets feel secure and comfortable. My background as a kennel attendant means I provide great safety mixed with plenty of daily attention and care.
“Lisa went above and beyond in caring for our cat Zorina, she spent time with her during her visits and played around with her all while making sure her food and litter were taken care of. Lisa always provided very detailed responses about each and every visit, which let us know so much about how our cat Zorina was doing while under her care. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and would certainly use her again in the future for any time we may be going away. Excellent sitter!”

Oceanside cat parents share their Rover experiences
Marissa watched our cat for one week and she is amazing! This was our first experience with Rover and it couldn’t have gone better. If you’re on here and you’re not sure who to reach out to, reach out to Marissa! She is responsible, trustworthy and kind. We did an initial meet and greet at my house, and she asked great questions about my cat’s care that even I didn’t think about. She arrived at the same time everyday and sent me the cutest pictures of him. They clearly bonded. Marissa also works in the veterinary field which is great. I will definitely book her again during future trips!
I can't say enough good things about Lisa, who took such good care of my two fur babies while I was away on a business trip, plus some PTO. Her communication was top-notch from the beginning. When she came for the meet and greet, I knew I had found an amazing catsitter. The way she interacted with both of my cats was amazing, especially with Rocky, who normally hides under the bed — he was actually out and interacted with her. She carefully wrote everything down and then read it back to me. Before I had to leave, she double-checked with me that everything she had noted was correct. While I was away, she was simply amazing: very upfront, very transparent, and her write-up was spot on. Her videos always put my heart at ease, and seeing all the pictures she sent, I knew both of my cats were in excellent care. Lisa truly went above and beyond what I could have hoped for, took care of my plants and apartment, and when I got home on Sunday late at night, everything looked perfect and my two cats were as happy as can be. THANK YOU, LISA!!!!
Grace was fantastic with sky . Came early every day,took pictures and we spoke on phone. Litter box was clean everyday and sky ate well. Grace came to meet sky 3 weeks before her work day and met me and sky ! I would use her again and highly recommende you do as well !
Karla was great and we can't thank her enough for taking great care of our cats on short notice. The cats are usually extremely shy around new people and will hide when they come in to the house. But they warmed up to Karla quickly and we got lots of pictures of happy cats being played with and entertained. A+++
Patricia was awesome and completely put my mind at ease while I was away. I’m new to the neighborhood and it was such a relief to know we had such a kind, reliable and communicative person nearby to check in on our two cats. Everything was perfect when we returned. Thank you again!!
Ella is fantastic!! I needed someone to administer subq fluids & medication to my senior tom cat while I'm away from work. Ella has done an excellent job with him everytime she comes. It gives me great peace of mind to know he's being well cared for <3 Thank you Ella!
Stephanie took great care of my two cats, Oreo and Nala, while I was away. She followed all of my instructions and made sure their routines were kept consistent, which I really appreciated. Oreo is a social butterfly and enjoyed her company right away. What impressed me most was seeing my shy girl Nala slowly come out of her shell. By the last couple of visits she was rubbing against Stephanie and even allowing pets, which is a big deal for her. That alone speaks volumes to me. Stephanie also shared photos during the visits and kept things running smoothly while I was gone. I’m grateful that I was able to relax on my trip knowing my cats were being looked after, and came home to two happy kitties. Thank you again, Stephanie! 🐱
