“Weiyue was amazing. She was kind, helpful, reliable, and responsive. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Jill had been a godsend , bullet and archer both loved her instantly and she handled my paranoia like a professional 😅 oh she was super punctual which is always an amazing thing in my books !”
“I just moved to the area a few months ago and it’s been such a huge relief to find such a caring and reliable sitter like Ashley. While I’m away, she sends regular updates and photos which really put my mind at ease and I know my cat is in good hands. Beyond just the care for my cat, Ashley is also very responsible and professional. She follows all my instructions perfectly for feeding and ensures the litter box is clean every day. It’s so nice to come and see your cat relaxed and happy because you know they’ve been well cared for. So if you are looking for a pet sitter in the Richmond/Rosenberg area, I highly recommend Ashley.”
“Kara was wonderful, highly recommend! She took excellent care of our senior dog, gave him medicine while we were away, and even stopped over for an extra visit that we did not have her originally scheduled for when she noticed that he was not feeling well.”
“Great job with the cats! She was courteous and kind. My pets loved her, especially my shy cat, Marcus. She ensured that they had a happy time without us.”
“On time. Great communication and updates on my dog. Will hire again for sure. And thank you for taking such great care of our 3rd child.”
“This was my first time using Rover and leaving our two kiddos at home. Both our dog and cat are high stress in the car so I wanted to find a way to allow them to stay home when we are away. I think Mckalynn is the best person to use this app. She sent us a detailed card each time she saw our kiddos. She also included pictures of each fur baby. We will be using Rover and Mckalynn again the next time we are out of town! This was just a simple and easy experience. She gave us so much piece in mind and kept things tidy for us. If you are really nervous about using a sitter and Rover don't be… Mckalynn will love your kiddos like her own. She is absolutely heaven sent!!!!”
“Tracy was great! I have a very old cat that can’t travel with us any longer that needs meds and thyroid shots. Tracy was on time and very attentive to our cat. It was a great feeling to know our cat was being taken care of when we were out of town. We will definitely be booking Tracy again! Thanks for being so wonderful with our baby!”
“Vytrinh did great with my two young dogs! One of my pups has anxiety and she was very patient with him, so he warmed up to her quickly. My other pup was very excited but she was prepared for his energy. I would book her again!”
“Jenna was Amazing! She took such great care of my two fur babies and kept me up to date with everything the whole time I was gone. She sent multiple pictures everyday and it made me feel so much better about being away. I highly recommend Jenna!”
“Thanks so much Keirsten. You are awesome!”
“Everything you can ask for and more! Kind, fast responses, easy to work with and flexible. I’d definitely recommend and use her services again!”
“Jozlyn was great! She did a great job of handling my three dogs. I hope she can help us out more in the future!”

About: Hi! I'm a loving and attentive pet sitter who will treat your fur baby like family and keep you updated with plenty of adorable photos along the way! As a longtime foster and pet caregiver, I’ve worked with animals at every stage, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. I’m experienced in leash training, crate training, and potty training, and I take a calm, consistent approach to help pets feel secure and confident. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with special needs, behavioral quirks, and anxiety, always with patience and compassion. I also live with a friendly, dog-tolerant cat named October, so I’m comfortable managing peaceful multi-pet households. Whether it’s structured training or cuddle time, I love every pet like my own! Pet care naturally fits into my routine—I love building my days around it. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening visits and walks. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, extended care, or overnight stays, I’m able to adapt to your pet’s needs and keep them on a consistent routine. Animals thrive with structure, and I’m happy to provide that while you’re away. I provide a calm, pet-friendly home with plenty of cozy spots for lounging and play. I have one sweet, mellow cat named October who’s dog-tolerant and used to sharing her space with visiting animals. My home is clean, safe, and quiet, ideal for pets who need a low-stress environment. I can easily crate your dog if needed, follow feeding and medication instructions closely, and will always respect your home and your pet’s routine when doing visits or drop-ins. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priority.
“Sabra provides excellent service and is extremely thoughtful and conscientious. She took excellent care of my pet and I highly recommend her. I have used her numerous times and will continue to do so in the future.”
“Esmerelda is great at what she does, my dog warmed up to her very quickly and they had fun together. She's a really sweet lady and easy to talk to. This is my first time using the app but feel so comfortable leaving my puppy in good hands with Esmerelda.”
“Jordan did fantastic with my cat! She took a lot of good photos for me. I was nervous about being away from my cat, but Jordan's reports were very reassuring.”
About: Currently working with a volunteer group that does TNR for my local shelter. Saved tons of colonies of both stray cats and dogs, and helped re-home them to give them a better live that every animal deserves. I work part time, meaning I have lots of time left in the day to take care of your beloved fur-babies. Cats and dogs alike. I provide attentive, loving, and reliable care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I offer companionship, playtime, and affection tailored to each pet’s personality as well as I carefully follow each pet’s specific feeding schedule, exercise routine, and medical needs, including administering medications if required.

Nicole is great! She’s so thoughtful and I can tell she really cares about the fur babies she takes care of. She is always so kind and professional. I know my cat is in good hands when I’m away. My Dani just enjoys her play time and cuddles with Nicole. Thank you!!
Sarah was awesome!!! Cat looked great when we came home and she was great with her daily updates and I formation! Highly recommend!
As always Jennifer was fantastic. She is the real deal and anyone would be lucky to have her as your trusted pet sitter!
Ximena did a fantastic job taking care of Loki and Lola while we were on vacation. She played with them, fed them, and cleaned their litter box. She tried many times to give Loki his medicine but it didn’t work out this time. Hopefully he will be more used to her the next time she cat sits. We will definitely ask Ximena to cat sit again.
We had a trip coming up and were worried about our animals being taken care of while we were away. That’s how we came to find Rover and Starla. Starla was amazing, she did better than we had hoped and although we still worried about our animals every second of our trip, we felt immensely better knowing Starla was there looking out for them. She was great at communicating with us before our booking and got to meet everyone and helped us come up with a plan and then during our trip she always sent multiple photos of everyone and we always looked forward to reading the Rover Cards after each visit. We can’t say how grateful we are to Starla and there is not a doubt in my mind that we will book her again for our next trip!
