“This was our second time booking with Jeanine, and this time was for an entire week. That's the longest we've ever had to leave our pets alone with someone we didn't know, but Jeanine made us feel so much better about it. Right before we left we started having litter box issues with one of our cats, so we were especially nervous about what we might come home to. But Jeanine kept us updated every day and put our mind at ease. We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing we had someone so caring and responsible looking after our pets. Thanks Jeanine!”
“Pam was great on time and careful to watch my slinky kitty. Harlow is feral and skitzy so feeling at ease knowing Pam understood the assignment was lovely- I will use her again- Thank you Pam!”
“Andrey is amazing! He showed up right on time to meet and greet my pups. He’s very sweet, kind and showed great attention to detail in regards to caring for my crew. My senior dogs need a lot of love and he took such great care of them. He was very communicative, sending me pictures and updates of how my dogs were doing each day. He even kept my home neat and tidy. Andrey was a fabulous choice and I will continue to have him watch my dogs again in the future.”
“Jodi was perfect for watching our kitties! They can be a bit shy but she did a great job making sure they were comfortable! She was very communicative and responsible. Would rebook again in a heartbeat!”
“Kelcy dropped in to take care of our cats for two days and we are happy to have her take care of them again in the future! Her updates helped eased our anxiety of leaving our cats alone for the first time :)”
About: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve cared for animals my entire life. I’ve always had at least one cat growing up and helped with feeding, litter care, playtime, and making sure they felt safe and loved. I’ve also pet sat for family members and my neighbor’s dog several times, so I have hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and even a turtle! My goal is to make sure your pet feels cared for and your routine stays consistent while you’re away. You can count on me to be reliable, respectful of your home, patient with shy pets, and to send you updates/photos. I truly love animals and know how much trust it takes to leave them with someone. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they’re in good hands. 💛 I work part-time, so I am available to care for your pets primarily on weekend evenings after 4:30pm and Tuesdays after 4:30pm. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I make sure pets have food, water, a secure environment, and plenty of attention. I move patiently with shy pets, follow all instructions, and send updates/photos so you can relax knowing they’re happy and cared for.
About: I treat every pet like my own and focus on providing safe, loving, and reliable care. I’m extremely patient, gentle, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, or needs a little extra reassurance, I know how to make them feel comfortable and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine — I schedule my day around the pets I’m looking after. I have a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to stop by for walks, drop-ins, or playtime throughout the day. I always plan enough time so each pet gets unrushed attention, whether it’s a longer walk, feeding, cuddles, or just keeping them company. No matter the service, I always send photo updates, videos, and messages so you feel connected and confident knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with both dogs and cats. I’ve cared for energetic puppies, senior pets needing extra love, and everything in between. My own Blue Heeler/Aussie mix taught me how to handle high-energy breeds, while raising three cats has given me patience and respect for different personalities. I would love the opportunity to meet your furbaby! <3 Because I work from home, I’m able to give pets the attention and care they deserve all day long. My flexible schedule allows for frequent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles without long gaps of being left alone. I build pet care into my daily routine by starting mornings with exercise and check-ins, scheduling play sessions throughout the day, and making evenings relaxing and comforting. This means your pet gets consistent supervision, a stable routine, and plenty of love from morning to night. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like family. I provide a safe, comfortable space with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and supervision. Dogs enjoy structured walks, outdoor play, and enrichment activities to keep them happy and healthy. Cats get cozy spaces, toys, and affection on their terms. I make sure each pet has a routine that matches what they’re used to at home so they feel relaxed and cared for.
“Maria did drop-in visits for our 5 y.o. cat while we were away for a couple weeks, and she was wonderful! She tended to all of our precious girl’s needs (and she can be very needy), and kept her happy and active while we were out. I’d highly recommend Maria for cat-sitting needs.”
“Megan was hired to feed and clean my cats litter box for about 10 days knowing she would never see my kitty! Reliable and on time and we laughed because the only pics were of the food and litter bowls! I definitely would use her services again. Thank you Megan. I never worried while I was gone.”
“Nadya was prompt. She was patient when there was issue with my front door lock code and helped with an outbreak of ants that invaded my cat’s food. I have never had that happen before so I felt bad it happened while we were gone.”
“Tiffany was amazing with our little kitty! She was very thorough with daily updates and knew exactly the things to watch out for. Her daily updates put me at ease because I knew Miso was in good hands! 10/10 would book again.”
“Shannon was great! Everything was nice and clean and the cats seemed pretty chill when I got back, more than they usually are when I take a trip. Would definitely book again.”
About: I’ve had two adopted shelter cats and over 10 years of caring for them, so being around cats feels completely natural to me. I spend a lot of time playing with them, grooming them, and learning their little quirks. I also love chatting with other pet parents and sharing tips. When my own cats were sick, I handled their care closely, so I’m very patient and attentive. Cats tend to warm up to me quickly, they usually end up following me around for cuddles, which I love! I’m currently very flexible with scheduling, so feel free to reach out anytime if you need care for your baby! Here whenever you need me. When caring for pets in your home, I always treat them as if they were my own. I take time to understand their routines, favorite hiding spots, and comfort zones, making sure they feel safe and relaxed. I move gently, keep things clean, and pay close attention to their moods so they never feel stressed or scared. My goal is to create a cozy, calm environment where your fur baby feels loved, secure, and completely at ease while you’re away.
“She’s very nice and has a lot of patience knowing my cat is hellaaaa fiesty. She managed to take care of him and made my cat Yolo comfortable at her place. She even updated me about my cat. I will definitely let you babysit my Yolo again. Thank youuu so much. You’re appreciated Blanka ?”

When meeting Pam you could tell she really loved animals. I right away felt safe leaving our precious fur babies in her hands. My intuition was right, she did and excellent job of taking care of them. One of our cats had an unexpected accident while away and she handled it deftly. Thank you sooo much Pam.
Above and Beyond! Nicole more than rose to the challenge of caring for our super senior kitty with low appetite issues. She followed requests to offer more than one food, allow the cat to eat wherever preferred, add treats, etc. This kept our kitty's weight up. Nicole also played regularly with our higher energy, young cat who otherwise gets bored. WE'LL DONE, Nicole!!! Many thanks :)
We had a wonderful experience with Bihua as our cat sitter. She took care of our two cats for four days and did an excellent job. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure to send us updates with photos after every visit, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our cats looked happy and well cared for the whole time. We’re so grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Our cat is a senior gentleman and needed a little extra attention and two visits per day. Olivia was reliable with great communication, and we felt totally comfortable with her in charge of our kitty's care. Great pet-sitter, and we'd definitely use her again!
Fatima did a great job sitting for our two cats. The cats seemed calm and content when we came home after being away for over a week. We loved getting photos and updates, and we appreciated Fatima’s personal experience taking care of her own cats. We will definitely hire Fatima again!
