“Victoria is the best cat sitter! She truly cares about our cat Luna, which is evident from her daily updates and pics. Communication is clear and often, and we couldn’t ask for a better person to entrust with our pet.”
“Maryann understands cat behavior, and was patient with my shy boy. Even though he hid most of the time, she took the time to see if he'd trust her, and kept me updated on his eating and drinking so I'd know he was ok. I look forward to booking Maryann again when I need a cat carer.”
“Lori took great care of Bailey. She followed my instructions for feeding and caring my baby and was great about cleaning up after him. My only critique is that I wish she had better communication with me. I received photos but no written communication.”
“Delaney was amazing! She was so friendly, reliable, and clearly cares about animals. She kept me updated with photos and my cats warmed up to her so quickly. She even went the extra mile to clean their food mat and offered to take out our trash so the house wouldn’t smell when we got home. I came back to happy, relaxed pets and everything spotless. 10/10 would recommend — she’s the best!”
“Sarah took amazing care of our 3 crazy cats! It’s the first time we have returned from a trip to find calm, relaxed cats. She even gave our asthmatic kitty her inhaler daily, which is definitely tricky. Everything was perfect.”
“Last week was the first time I had Andrew watch my two boys and boy am I happy that I picked him…and so are the boys! Andrew did a wonder job! He spent extra time with my cats and sent detailed updates with pics every day. He made me very secure in the knowledge that my boys were being well cared for. I look forward to having Andrew take care of my boys in the future!”
“Pete loves animals and is phenomenal with them. He’s cared for my dogs and cat numerous times now, and I trust him with them more than anyone else. They do, too - Pete is hands down each of my animals’ favorite human. We feel so safe knowing that Pete is caring for and nurturing our fur babies like he does his own. Five stars isn’t enough for Pete!!”
“I highly recommend Samir for your pet sitting needs! He provided very detailed reports for us including pictures and he made us feel very comfortable knowing our cat was well cared for. Samir is the best!”

I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages from kittens and puppies to seniors, and whether it’s playtime, long walks, or cozy cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs. Please contact me to schedule a meet and greet so we can make sure it's the right fit for your pet. I work from home, which allows me the availability and focus to care for your pet while you're away, providing consistent attention, comfort and a calm, nurturing environment.

I'm also big on communication and will make sure you receive plenty of photos and updates throughout your pet's visit.
“Tez is amazing!! She’s our go-to pet sitter for our two cats whenever we go on a trip. She’s really considerate and goes above and beyond to make sure they have everything they need. Our cats are super shy because they were adopted during COVID but they’ve actually started coming out when Tez visits because she’s such a kind and caring person. We love working with her!!”
“Maria was so patient with my girls. One of my cats is very nervous with others but Maria patiently worked with her and she started coming closer and closer. That was a big relief for me! Maria also patiently waited for my friend to bring her a key to my place when the one I left her didn’t work. It was so nice of her to come back again to make sure my cats were cared for. It made all the difference to know that my girls were well taken care of while I was away.”
“It's such a comfort and reassurance to know Geoff and Jenny are taking excellent care of our two cats when we're away. They're attentive, patient, and can deal with our senior boys' special food and medication needs without issues. I'm so happy we can count on them!”
“Anastasiia and Ivan were wonderful!!! This was my first time using Rover so I was a little bit nervous about it, but they immediately put that to ease by sending me daily updates and photos of my kitty as soon as I left town. After 8 days out of state visiting family, I came home to a healthy kitty that was very happy to see me. I would definitely recommend them!!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats since a very young age, and have gotten well versed to taking care of them around the house when others were unable to. I also have a lot of experience with cats and rodents. I have only recently picked up dog walking professionally as I have just graduated college, but this was due to my love for dogs, as well as my ability to pick up on new jobs very quickly and my experience growing up and watching over them! I'm currently working part-time, so my availability is very flexible and I should have plenty of time to spend with your pets! My schedule is adjusted on a frequent basis, so it's preferable to book me early so I can make sure I have the day to dedicate to you and your furry friend! While I am unable to house large pets in my home, I am very capable of watching over any animal in the safety of their own home! I am very responsible and respectful of you and your pets' space, and will take care to mind what makes you both most comfortable!
“Luna was an incredible pet sitter! She went above and beyond to take good care of our cat while we were away, and she even brought along new toys for the cat to play with. We look forward to working with Luna again soon and can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Skylar was absolutely excellent as the sitter for our 3 cats! They all have kind of a complicated feeding regimen and some of them are shy but she managed to problem solve on the spot and think quickly when it came to making sure the best way to ensure everyone got fed. She followed instructions completely and was overall an excellent sitter - our trip was made much easier and less stressful because of her. We are so so grateful and will be using her services regularly going forward. Thank you again Skylar :)”

Skylar did a great job taking care of Silvestre. She was prompt and reliable each day. Silvestre appeared to be in good form when we returned, and he looked happy in the photos Skylar sent to us. We had a steady stream of photos to enjoy. We are very pleased!
Yong was an excellent Rover sitter for my cats. He was incredibly diligent, followed every instruction exactly, and made sure their medications were administered properly—which was especially important to me. He was also very communicative throughout the stay, sending plenty of pictures and thoughtful updates that gave me total peace of mind. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and would absolutely book with him again.
Julia was extremely quick, responsive and understanding to a last-minute drop in request I had sent out on Christmas Eve. When I was worried I would have no one to watch my Nori over the holidays, Julia came through and was very transparent about what she needed in order to gjve Nori the best care! She was super flexible and sent frequent pictures and updates and let me know whenever she would need some flexibility on her end, which I was happy to accommodate! I will definitely be considering her in the future if I ever need a cat sitter again! :)
Paula is a Rockstar!!! A snow storm was occurring. I told Paula to be safe and skip the visit if unsafe. She came out in a storm, my complex wasn't cleared and made it to my Bebe. When she messaged they were playing. My heart is filled with joy. This is her 3rd time caring for my cat and she gas given exceptional care. The BEST!!!
Kat and her family are wonderful! Took time to understand my Ninja and work at his pace so that he could be comfortable, always updated me and doubled checked with me whenever something wasn’t clear. Will most definitely rebook Kat, I highly recommend her very friendly nice and super understanding!
We’ve had several different cat sitters over the years as we moved through different neighborhoods, and Rivera is by far the best we’ve ever had and my cat’s absolute favorite. My cat, who is usually shy with new people, warmed up to her right away. Rivera sends thoughtful updates and photos, which gives me peace of mind when I am away. If you are looking for someone who loves animals and is reliable, she’s the one.
Delaney was amazing! She was so friendly, reliable, and clearly cares about animals. She kept me updated with photos and my cats warmed up to her so quickly. She even went the extra mile to clean their food mat and offered to take out our trash so the house wouldn’t smell when we got home. I came back to happy, relaxed pets and everything spotless. 10/10 would recommend — she’s the best!
