Pet Sitting Rice

About: I connect best with cats and have years of hands-on experience caring for them at every life stage. I’m especially comfortable with seniors — my own sweet cat passed recently, and supporting him has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and incredibly gentle. If your older kitty needs slow movements, soft routines, or extra emotional care, I understand that deeply. I’ve also cared for dogs and am happy to help with pups who need calm companionship, reliable check-ins, or a steady routine. No matter the pet, I focus on creating a peaceful, loving environment where they feel safe and understood. I work full‑time Monday–Friday, but I’m available for lunch visits when possible. I am most available before and after work since I work full-time in the office. When I’m caring for pets — whether in my home or my client’s — I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and understood. I move at their pace, keep routines consistent, and pay close attention to the little things that help them relax. For cats, especially seniors, I’m extra gentle and patient. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, eating habits, and energy levels, and I make sure they get plenty of quiet companionship. With dogs, I bring the same warm, steady energy. I stick to their usual schedule, offer lots of reassurance, and make sure they get the right balance of play, walks, and downtime. I’m great with pups who appreciate a calm presence and predictable routine. No matter the home, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own little family — with kindness, patience, and genuine affection.

“Mikayla took great care of my cats and made sure food and water was available. She made sure to give the cats some love and even helped me with the litter boxes. It gave me the peace of mind while I was out on a trip and will definitely ask for her services again!”

“Ynes was fantastic! She completed three drop-ins per day over three days and was consistently on time for every visit. She handled my senior dog, Dutchess, with great care and attention, which gave me real peace of mind. What I appreciated most was her communication… she sent multiple pictures daily and kept me updated every step of the way, making me feel completely comfortable while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I would absolutely use Ynes’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Mateo is kind, a fast and detailed responder, cleans up & listens to my requests. Based off my prior experience with rover, he exceeded my expectations. My kids were very well taken care of. Would recommend him for any pet parent!”

Laura N.

“⸻ This was the second time Darius watched my dog Sevyn, and just like before, he did an amazing job! He takes such good care of her and treats her like his own. Sevyn came back happy, calm, and well taken care of. I really appreciate the updates and how attentive he is to her needs. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in great hands while I’m away. Highly recommend Darius I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

“Sama was truly wonderful. She kindly gave our cat her meds, took care of cleaning her litter, and was very accommodating when we needed to change the date.”

“Late review! Yuriko took care of my baby for 4 days while I was away and did amazing! I am a nervous cat mom and did set a list of things I know my fur baby would need while I was away and she followed them perfectly. Even though Sage isn’t the most social cat she sent me videos when she could and kept me updated. I appreciate her so much and I 100% would hire her again whenever I am away. She is fantastic!!”

“We were really happy with Michelle looking after our huskies, Thanos and Kai, while we were out of town for a couple of days. She was reliable, attentive, and caring. Before our trip, she came over to our home to meet us so we could go over all the details, which immediately gave us peace of mind. Because of our busy schedules, our dogs usually only get walked late at night, but she managed to take them out for lovely walks both before and after her work shifts. Getting them outdoors seemed to have kept them happy, exercised, and well-cared for. She made sure they were fed, had fresh, clean water, and stayed in constant communication with us while we were away—complete with adorable photo updates! Thank you so much!”

“Jazmin was incredibly sweet and trustworthy. She was so easy to work with. She has a genuine passion and love of animals which made me feel very safe having her both watching my pets and on my home. I wouldn't hesitate to book again.”

Cusack S.

“Ms. Heather was such a delight! She came through in a crunch time of mine. She’s super sweet and very responsive. She took GREAT care of my fur baby. My little Amirah loves her! She was so supportive and detail oriented when it came to my dog. I definitely recommend her and I will be using her in the future!”

“We have had 10+ sitters and a ton of visits through rover and Joe was hands down our favorite so far. We had two senior dogs who need a lot of assistance and have a lot of meds to take. Joe came over and met them before hand and was so patient gaining our dogs trust and getting to know them. He brought in our packages that came, took such good care of them and gave so many great updates. He made our long weekend away so good knowing they were in great hands. 10/10 recommend him for going above and beyond :)”

“Diana has been very helpful taking care of my dogs while I am at work for long hours. She is responsive and always shows up on time. I would highly recommend her to anyone who need help!”

Maddison P.

“Nupur was excellent with my two frenchies. She maintained a schedule with them so that really helped. She did 3 drop in visits a day for 3 days. She was good at giving them their meds, waking them and notating what they did and how they were acting which made me feel extremely comfortable. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”

Tammy J.

“I have booked Ismael around 4 or 5 times till now for my kitties and each time he has gone above and beyond to take care of them. I cannot recommend him enough for your pets' care and needs!”
