“The thought of leaving my two insulin-dependent diabetic cats at home while I vacationed out of town had me feeling very anxious. From the onset at our meet and greet, Blair eased my concerns and made me feel confident that she would take great care of my boys — which she did! From twice daily insulin injections to specific feeding plans to basic daily needs, Blair handled it all. I loved getting the detailed updates about each visit, and the multiple pictures sent along of each cat was icing on the cake. I would, without a doubt, have Blair care for my cats again in the future. It’s so apparent that she loves what she does, and she does it so well!”
“Christine was so kind and generous with our three dogs! She was always on time and went the extra mile to help clean up a pillow catastrophe from our very anxious lab! We will definitely be asking her to watch our babies again!”
“I could tell Lucy loved every second she was under Irene’s care with every photo/video she sent. Great communication and even better care. Everything was handled perfectly and came home to a very happy and well taken care of cat. I will definitely be booking Irene again.”
“Sam took wonderful care of my pups. I was very nervous to leave them especially since one of them has very special needs. Sam sent pictures at every visit and made me feel at ease. She even won over one of my skiddish dogs, he fell in love in no time. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter!”
“Jenna is an amazing pet sitter ! My cat Albert used to hide and would barely allow Jenna to connect with him. He now allows her to pet him and he even purrs because he’s so happy to see her when she comes. I believe this is because of her gentle and nurturing way with animals.”
“Michelle was absolutely amazing and reliable with my cat! She made being away super easy and I never had to worry as she kept me updated. I definitely recommend her, your pet will be in good hands!!”
“Maya was fantastic. She took such good care of our 3 kitties for 2 weeks. She went out of her way to make sure they were ok during the snowstorm and cold. She gives them attention (plays, grooms etc), and ensures they eat, have fresh water, checks their wellbeing. (Also the litterboxes were well maintained - she even put the garbage out) We are impressed - her compassionate care and love for our furries shows through everything she did — in addition she looks after your house (all is clean, plants were checked, etc…)- (we had water issue she reported immediately and helped clear) . She communicates frequently and keeps you posted — in a nutshell if you look for someone for your pet — we would not hesitate to recommend Maya and certainly hope she is available for our next trip. We could not be happier.”
“Ashley took wonderful care of my two cats, one of whom is diabetic and requires insulin injections every 12 hours. Ashley was very reliable and always on time. She gave detailed updates and took cute pictures of my babies. She also was willing to water my newly planted trees. We are so glad to have found such an excellent sitter!”
“Elizabeth consistently exceeded expectations! She took the time to keep my boys happy, took them onto my balcony every day, and was so thorough that my separation anxiety was gone despite being in another country. An added bonus is all the pictures she takes-I definitely have saved some of the super silly ones and they make me happy!”
“As always Maria is the BEST! Goes above and beyond. So kind and thoughtful and most of all my fur baby loves her. Makes me feel very comfortable while traveling as often as I have been lately! Highly recommend!”
“10/10 absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Came home to the happiest, calmest kitty that has ever been thanks to B. Normally when we come home Carson is very unhappy with us but this time he was calm and unbothered. Every day, twice a day, I received great, detailed updates with pictures of Carson playing and being the most enriched and spoiled baby there ever has been. Moving forward I won’t ask anyone else to care for my three animals besides Bito. I couldn’t have asked for a better, more caring person to care for my furry orange child. Even my plants got watered :’). Thank you SO much!”
“Malina did a wonderful job taking care of Lily our very senior pug! She was extremely responsive to all communication which was wonderful since we were three time zones away. We would not hesitate to have Malina again.”
“Brian was absolutely wonderful with our Bernedoodle puppy Oreo! Despite Oreo being a 60+ pound bundle of adolescent energy, Brian handled him with patience, confidence, and ease. He was always on time, professional, and genuinely caring. Oreo absolutely loved his visits and that says everything. Highly recommend Brian without hesitation. Will definitely book again!”
“Karen’s did a wonderful job watching my two kids- I mean my two cats ?! My cats loved her after the very first day and she made sure they ate and played, and was communicating with me throughout the weekend. My cats are shelter cats with abuse history, so I was very pleased with how quickly they warmed up to her. I would absolutely recommend her to a friend.”
“Amy did a great job taking care of our extremely shy cat while we were away, even coaxing her out of her hiding spots for treats/petting. We received updates from Amy daily and notes about how our cat was doing, and felt very comfortable that she was in good hands.”
“Paul was a life saver. I had to leave my almost 5 month old Bernedoodle for the first time for a work trip and was quite nervous about it. Ozzie and I have become super attached to each other this winter stuck at home. Paul jumped in and did daily visits for me- even took him on walks in the 20 degree icy conditions. Ozzie did great with him and I couldnt be happier. We also have an 11 year old that enjoyed Paul’s company. They played a lot of ball together and he wore my little babies out!”
About: I began seeking clients on Rover in the summer of 2025 as a way to make some more money for college and I love animals so I figured “why not!” - I found myself really bonding with every dog/cat I watched and cared for them as my own. I accept as many jobs as I possibly can because I understand the importance of having someone stay with your fur babies who knows how to care for them in all aspects. My 7 month old puppy died due to negligence from his pet sitter and got hit by a car. Due to that experience, I have shifted my focus to mainly Rover, hoping I can provide families with the comfort and assurance that I will care for their animals with the respect and love they all deserve. I have experience with all kinds of animals (even bunnies, horses, fish, and more!) I was a working student from the ages of 10-15 years old and have my own horse so big dogs don’t scare me. I know how to deal with skittish or aggressive dogs because I had to learn to groom my own goldendoodle as he got older and became unpredictable due to dementia. It is important for me to make sure the animals I look after feel heard, are never left alone for too long, and have fun during my time with them! Please feel free to reach out with any other questions!! I only have one other job exercising steeple chase horses in the early mornings so I have a lot of availability to make house visits or spend the day as much as you would need me to! I also love to go on walks and take hikes, so if I am looking after an Active dog it is no problem! If your dog likes to play with other dogs I have a fenced in yard and two other dogs of mine who are very friendly. I am very neat and organized so the chance of your animal eating something or getting into something they’re not supposed to is very slim.

As a first-time Rover user, I was nervous, but Blair completely put my mind at ease. She is incredibly caring, gentle, and reliable with my two cats. She communicated constantly and sent tons of pictures, which I loved. I’m so thankful for her help and will definitely book her again!
Ashley took wonderful care of my two cats, one of whom is diabetic and requires insulin injections every 12 hours. Ashley was very reliable and always on time. She gave detailed updates and took cute pictures of my babies. She also was willing to water my newly planted trees. We are so glad to have found such an excellent sitter!
Sean and his partner Paulina were quick to respond to all messages and showed up on time, both to our meet and greet and to all three cat-sitting sessions while we were out of town. Our two babies were well fed and watered, and the more social one got some attention and play from Paulina too. The shy guy had a cleaned litter box to use when he came out of hiding after they left, but before that they even watered the flower baskets on our porch as a heat wave was starting. Thanks again Sean and Paulina!
Brina is incredible with our two cats. She really cares for them and pays attention to what they want, and actively engages with them in playtime and cuddles while at our house. She sends great photos, is extremely responsible and communicative, and gives us peace of mind when traveling. I can't recommend her enough!!
Elizabeth consistently exceeded expectations! She took the time to keep my boys happy, took them onto my balcony every day, and was so thorough that my separation anxiety was gone despite being in another country. An added bonus is all the pictures she takes-I definitely have saved some of the super silly ones and they make me happy!
Jackie went above and beyond to care for our cats. I made an error and sent her to the wrong house and she so kindly forgave my mistake and made sure our cats were taken care of right away. The cats took to her very easily. I received great updates and photos.
