“Jennifer and Jonathan have been taking care of my cat bubbles for a while whenever I’m out of town. They’re always great with him and send pics letting me know he’s happy!”
About: I provide attentive, dependable dog care focused on safety, structure, and enrichment. I have experience working with dogs of various sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I tailor my care to match each dog’s routine and personality. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I make sure every dog feels secure, engaged, and well cared for. I work from home Monday–Friday (7:00 AM–4:00 PM), which allows me to provide consistent attention and reliable care throughout the day, every day. I am sometimes available during the lunch hour. I provide safe, attentive pet care in my one-bedroom apartment with two cats and one dog, ensuring a calm, supervised environment where pets are kept comfortable, on routine, and given individual attention. I focus on feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and an stress-free stay. When caring in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain the pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, litter care, and any special needs. I also ensure the home is respected, secure, and left clean. In both settings, my priority is safety, consistency, and clear communication with pet parents.
“Was agreeable to doing a drop in for our dog short notice when our other sitter couldn’t. Appreciated her communication with me on how the drop in went. Sent photos of their time together :)”
“This was my first time having to get a pet sitter and I was nervous and anxious, but from our first messages exchanged, I knew Oline was going to be fantastic. And she just kept proving me right everyday she was caring for my babies. Her attention to detail when I walked her through my pets’ routines was amazing, and her communication while caring for them everyday was outstanding. I felt very confident having her care for my babies and will definitely be using her again if I need a sitter.”
“I can’t say enough good things about our cat walker, Mia! She has been absolutely amazing with my two ragdoll boys, Loki and Thor. Not only does she take them on their walks, but she also did drop-in visits while I was out of town—and I had complete peace of mind the entire time. What really sets her apart is how interactive and engaged she is with them. She doesn’t just show up and go through the motions—she truly spends quality time encouraging them to explore, play, and of course, get plenty of cuddles. It’s so clear she genuinely loves what she does, and even more importantly, she truly loves my boys. Loki and Thor adore her. They literally cry at the door when they know she’s coming, which says everything. Seeing how excited they get and how comfortable they are with her makes it an easy decision every time—I’ve already booked her multiple times and will continue to do so. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, Mia is the one. She goes above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Erin did a fantastic job caring for my new puppy before she was old enough to get out of the house and around other dogs. She made sure to take very good care of her and keep her safe. She also helped continue the training I was doing with her at home.”
“Catherine is so sweet. She did a great job caring for my babies. She also brought in packages and broke down a box for me. Definitely went above and beyond!”
“Samantha is literally an angel! She took such good care of my kitten, she’s so neat, and she’s great with her communication. It makes my work day so much easier, knowing Samantha is able to check on Milo. I never have to worry when she’s around. She is THE BEST!!”
“Phung took good care of my cat Olive while I was gone for 2 weeks. I can tell my cat loved her, and would definitely book her again in the future! She took so many good pictures and kept me updated on everything.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, all shapes and sizes! I fostered cats and kittens during college and have a love for all furry critters. I currently have three fur babies of my own, all with unique needs. I work in the healthcare industry and am well versed in medical conditions both human and animal alike. My summer work schedule is super light and only varies slightly. If I work, it is for 1-2 hours so afternoons (after 1pm) and mornings (before 9am) are wide open. It’s best to always respect any animal in its home. Every animal/pet has their boundaries and I am a firm believer in respecting them. Your pets care is my number one priority and that starts with ensuring their comfort.
“Sebnem is outstanding! Such a kind and intentional sitter. She came to our rescue last minute to watch our golden retriever and took the best care of her. She sent so many great updates and loved her so well. She is phenomenal!”
“Miki is so sweet! My husband and I were immediately comfortable when we met her. Our cats loved her! She made sure our cats were safe and happy while we were gone. I’m so glad we found her. I would 10/10 rebook her again. ?”
“Jamie checked in our pets while we were gone for the weekend. She was a life saver when our original plans fell through. She is very punctual, and she sent us videos during her visits. We will definitely her again!”
About: Over the years, I’ve rescued and trained several puppies, helping them find loving homes. My experience with animals began in childhood, where I cared for multiple pets who lived long, happy lives. This lifelong connection with animals has given me the skills and dedication to provide exceptional care. I am currently available at all times, including early mornings, late nights, and any day of the week. Whether it’s a quick walk, extended pet care, or last-minute needs, I can adjust to your schedule and provide reliable, attentive service. My flexibility ensures your pet gets the care they need, whenever they need it. I have a strong understanding of animal behavior and body language, allowing me to anticipate their needs and reactions in various situations. I also have the necessary tools and equipment to maintain control and ensure the safety of all parties at all times, providing a secure and stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners.
About: I’ve taken care of family pets growing up for years, cats and dogs. And walked a dog for a neighbor twice a week for a year. My schedule is pretty flexible but it’s helpful to know a week in advance the timing of when walks are preferred so I can adjust accordingly. I am not able to do pet care in my own home as I am not able to house pets in my current lease, sorry!

Brendan was amazing. He was timely with his check-ins, administered my cats insulin without issue and even went above and beyond one day when my power was out and he couldnt get in. I will 100% be booking with him again for any future cat sitting needs I have. Thanks again!!
This is our third time booking with Jasi and yet again, she was exceptional! I had miscalculated my days during booking and needed more visits, Jasi did not hesitate to jump in and cover while we were away. As always, she was thorough, loving to our kitties and assured me they were well taken care of while we were away! We will absolutely book with her again!
We recently went on a three-day international trip and needed someone truly trustworthy to look after our cat. We were fortunate enough to find Vicki, and I can confidently say she exceeded every expectation we had. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, professional, and thoughtful. She asked the right questions, paid attention to every detail, and instantly gave us peace of mind. While we were away, Vicki cared for our cat with a level of dedication and kindness that is rare to find. She didn’t just “check in” on him—she genuinely spent time with him, comforted him, played with him, and made sure he felt safe and loved in our absence. Her updates were consistent, detailed, and incredibly reassuring. Each photo and message reflected how much she truly cares about animals. When we came back home, we could immediately see the difference. Our cat was calm, happy, and completely relaxed—almost as if we had never left. In fact, over the past few days, we can tell he genuinely misses Vicki and keeps looking toward the door, waiting for her to walk in again. It’s rare for him to bond with someone new so quickly, and that alone says everything about the level of comfort and trust she created. To be honest, we feel like we’ve found a new member of our family in Vicki. Her kindness, reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional caregiver. Knowing that our cat was in such capable and loving hands allowed us to enjoy our trip without worry. I would recommend Vicki to anyone on Rover who wants true peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone responsible, compassionate, and truly devoted to the well-being of your pet, Vicki is absolutely the person you want. We are so grateful for her and will definitely be booking with her again.
