About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve had experience with a wide range of personalities—from playful, high-energy pups to more shy or independent animals—and I always take the time to understand what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable. I’m currently a proud dog mom to my 8-year-old Golden Retriever, so I truly understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, consistency, and lots of love. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve also pet sat and walked dogs for families I worked with as a nanny. This gave me experience handling multiple pets, different routines, and dogs with unique temperaments—including those who may be more reactive or need extra patience. I’m very attentive to body language and always prioritize creating a calm, positive environment. I’m available for both walks and pet sitting, and I’m happy to follow any specific routines, feeding schedules, or care instructions your pet needs. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! I am currently in medical school on summer break so I am looking for part time work. I do still work as a nanny part time, so my days I am available full time are Thursday- Sunday, and I am available Monday- Wednesday before 3 pm. Living in Arizona, I’m especially mindful of the heat and how it affects our pets. I live in an apartment so I know it can be especially tricky to meet all your pets needs especially during the summers. I plan walks during the cooler parts of the day, avoid hot pavement, and make sure dogs stay hydrated and comfortable. When it’s too hot to be outside, I focus on enrichment through play, mental stimulation, and companionship.
“Betty is so amazing! Both of our cats are always well cared for when she comes by. She takes lots of pictures for us to see when we’re gone and is detailed in her reports. The cats are very comfortable with her. And she’s even helped with grabbing a package or two! Highly recommend!!”
“Kelsei was awesome! Super friendly and really cared about taking care of our cat, Annabelle (even though Annabelle didn't want to be taken care of.) Already booked again and would highly recommend her!”
“Joseph and Allison are very thoughtful, intuitive, and took great care of my cat. I knew she was in good hands and the photos proved her level of comfort with them. They also kindly allowed me to book them last minute after some travels plans changed. I will certainly book with them again!”
“Lilly is truly spectacular. She took care of my cat with so much love and precision. Her report cards are detailed and help keep your mind at ease while away from your pet. She clearly loves animals and spends so much time with them. She plays with them and gets to know your pet well so that she can effect care for them. Will definitely be rebooking again!”
“Kayla did an amazing job on a few check ins while we were out of town. Our cat Desi has really taken a liking to her, probably because Kayla will brush her out when she stops by. Kayla also went above and beyond and helped revive our plants. Will continue to hire her”
“Cassady is amazing!! Within hours, our cats had accepted her into the family, and we received frequent updates with pictures the entire time. We would absolutely use Cassady again!”
“We are always at ease leaving our kitties with Hannah! She takes such great care of them and gives us cute pictures and great updates! We are always happy to book with her every time we’re gone.”
“Ariana was an awesome sitter for my 3 cats over a 4 night trip. She was very communicative, checked in every day and sent pictures and updates. My cats were definitely well cared for while I was gone. I’d love to have her back!”
“Kylel was amazing with our senior kitty! He was very prompt and thorough with updates and really made sure she was happy. She was even looking for him after we got home!! We will definitely be looking forward to working with Kylel again!”
“Allie did an incredible job of taking care of my cat Sasha. Sasha can be a little territorial when I’m away and Allie was very patient and thoughtful, taking extra steps to put Sasha at ease. She gave me helpful updates throughout my trip and it gave me great peace of mind. I look forward to using her again!”
About: I have grown up with animal my whole life and have 9 years professional experience working at vet clinics and the Phx Zoo. I have a degree in Biology and spend my free time exploring outside and bird watching. I would love to spoil your fur babies as if they were my own. I currently am available most weekdays and very open on weekends. My current work schedule is flexible. Available for drop ins and walks as needed. I currently have 2 friendly dogs and one very loving cat who thinks he is a dog. We also had a bearded dragon so I have some experience in exotic pets if needed.
“Leanne was great. She was even better then I expected. I felt safe with her in my house, safe with my 2 older cats. She sent notes and pictures that I truly enjoyed. I would remind her to others.”
San Carlos cat parents share their Rover experiences
This is our second booking with Kelsei and she has been nothing short of amazing. Our cat is notoriously standoff-ish with new people and she has begun to win her over. She is a fantastic at communicating her time with Annabelle and always takes fun pictures. If she is available, she is our go-to sitter.
Overall, good job, very consistent, even through the holidays. There were some smaller messes from what looked like the cat barfing then eating it, but those also kinda blend in with my carpet so easy miss. There was some sort of mess on the floor by the cat box. Not sure what went on there, but it looks like maybe a my boy cat went over the edge at some point and tried to bury it with the rug... That his M.O. but I'm not sure any cleaner was used in the area, and there wasn't mention of it.
