“Melida is a thoughtful, caring, and responsible cat sitter. She was always on time and followed all my instructions very well. She took great care of my two cats and she was always very quick to respond to my messages. I will definitely be using her services again.”

“Cara sent so many pictures of my cats, and I was very reassured that they were all happy and cared for. I could see that they were eating well and getting attention. I am already planning to re-book her for my next trip.”

“Dayana is amazing! 😻 it was my first time using Rover and it was great! She communicates at all times and send pictures and videos. ❤️ My cat Luna is very shy and she was able to open up with Dayana, which makes me feel her at peace. I will 1000% use her services again and I recommend her with eyes closed.”

About: With a deep passion I have dedicated myself to caring for dogs in various capacities. My experience includes volunteering at local shelters where I provided companionship, exercise, and basic care to dogs in need. I have also honed my skills in managing diverse breeds by taking them on dog dates, ensuring they receive the socialization and mental stimulation they require. Additionally, I have fostered dogs through the app rover program, providing a loving temporary home until they find their forever families. My commitment to their well-being extends beyond basic needs, focusing on creating a nurturing environment that promotes their physical and emotional health. I am currently studying to take my state board exams as an esthetician. I’m just trying to have some money to afford my state board exams. I have a dog name snowball, i’ve had him since I was 7. I have been raised with dogs my whole life. They make me happy and truly grateful. How I care for others & my own dog is with love, care and respect. I will always respect their home and the clients home, by never leaving it a mess if one is made.
“Nathalia took care of my cats for the second time and once again she was amazing! I came home to see that they had clearly been very well cared for, and everything was nice and clean. Thank you Nathalia!”

“I am so thankful for her! My babies were well fed and cared for while I was on vacation. And they had nice clean litter boxes. Loved my daily updates of who greeted her at the door and the funny pictures! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thank you SO MUCH. I'm planning a longer trip for May so I will be trying to book you then as well!!!”

“Kathryn is: conscientious, kind, considerate, capable, competent, and funny. She took care of my precious babies and I couldn’t have been happier with how happy they were around her. She cared for my apartment like it was her own, and I never worried once about anything while i was away. Thank you, Kathryn, for being amazing and wonderful!”

“Donovan was an amazing sitter for my cat , May. I was gone for 2 weeks, but I knew she was in good hands. Donovan was very communicative on her moods and eating habits . I received pictures everyday , which eased my mom guilt. Very kind and understanding. I’d recommend Donovan as a sitter to anyone and will be using him again”

“10/10! Kiara did wonderful taking care of my 4 cats while I was away for the week. Although they were shy, she still made sure to make an effort to greet them and make sure they were accounted for and taken care of. Will definitely book again for our next trip. Thank you Kiara!”

“I was in a pinch to find someone to watch my cat and Ruth was able to watch her with no problems! Ruth gave me updates on how my cat was doing and always responded quickly to my messages. Will definitely be going back to Ruth in the future and would highly recommend!”

About: I believe that it is important to take each dog's individual personality and preferences into account when caring for them. Learning about different breeds and their special cares and needs has been something I’ve researched on my own since I was small. I love caring for animals according to their specific needs and helping others do so. I am available every day and most nights. My online school allows flexibility. I’m currently working on finishing my bachelors and writing children’s books and side hobbies. I will not generally bring clients pets home because of my parents, but I do have much experience with all kinds of animals, from goats to turkeys to dogs and cats and birds and fish. My home is fenced in and we have bird cages.
“Melissa treated my Midnight as if she was a member of the family. She was attentive to Midnight, played with her, and fed her well. She also sent me videos showing how pampered Midnight was being. Malissa and her family is the best! If you are looking for someone in this area, check in with Melissa.”

“Cameron was so friendly and easy to work with. She stayed in great communication throughout our trip and gave me the best updates of my kitties! Will definitely use her again:)”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 years old. I have petsitted a few times in Nicaragua, but the service was never as popular. I currently have a ten year old cocker spaniel named Leia, who you can see in my picture. I’m a proud dog friend and an aspiring cat friend as I haven’t had much experience with cats. However, I love animals (as long as they are not insects). I am one to pay close attention to pet body language, and I will make sure to provide the most comfort and love to your furbaby 💕 I’m currently working part-time so I will be super happy to fit any pet care into my schedule. I’m very punctual will petsit for you on friday and weekends, when you usually want to go out and enjoy human time ✨ I’m happy to provide any tools and help you acquire items for your pet. If you need me to pet-shop too, I will! I also have a car of my own, so there is no end to dog parks we can visit. I will go and stay at your home as much as you need in order to care for your pet. Everybody at home adores pets.
“Marcela is an amazing pet sitter. She was beyond thorough following all the instructions we provided for our four cats. She was always on time and paid close attention to detail. Truly a pleasure to work with and we will definitely reach out to her again next time we need a cat sitter. I’m certain she is great with all pets but if you have cats, she should be your go to :)”

About: I’m a calm, intuitive pet sitter with experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities. As a cat mom of four, I’m great at reading body language, managing routines, and making even shy or anxious pets feel safe. I never force interactions—I let each pet warm up at their own pace. I’m detail-oriented with feeding, litter care, grooming needs, and overall home cleanliness. I match each pet’s energy, communicate clearly with photo updates, and treat every home with the same respect and care I expect for my own. My goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Because I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m home consistently, which allows me to keep steady routines for feeding, playtime, and attention without rushing. I can check in on pets frequently, give them plenty of interaction, and maintain a calm, predictable environment throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, predictable, and comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding, playtime, grooming, and quiet time—so they feel safe and secure. I pay close attention to their body language, give them space when they need it, and offer affection when they’re ready. I keep living areas clean, fresh, and organized, and I provide regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
