“Suzanne did a fantastic job watching my two cats. She was extremely professional, showed up on time each day, and sent detailed updates and pictures after each visit. She even brought my cats a toy after they were getting into trouble the day before from boredom. I will definitely be hiring her again. Thanks Suzanne!”
“Liya did a great job cat sitting my boys. They both seemed to enjoy her company very much. I didn't need to worry about them while on vacation because she sent updates and pictures regularly. Would definitely book Liya again next time. Thanks!”
“Can’t thank Gabriela enough for staying with my cat Luci for the weekend. This is the first time I ever had to be away from my cat Luci for more than a few hours. I had to make a last minute plan, and reached out to cat sitters around my area via Rover. Gabriela was quick to reach out and scheduled a meet and greet. She understood the feeding instructions and other details about my cat’s routine and assured me of proper care. Throughout the duration of my trip, Gabriela was very responsive and provided me with constant updates and pictures of Luci. When o reached home, Gabriela had left the house tidy and clean, but the best part was that my cat was content and I felt like I never left the house. Would highly recommend Gabriela for her great communication and pet care.”
“SoYoung has been an amazing caretaker for my cat during my business trip. She was extremely thoughtful, on time and has an amazing attention to detail. My cat loves her.”
“I have booked with Carissa multiple times. She is always very thoughtful and takes such good care of my cat Hughie. I know now that I can travel with one less worry, because I know Carissa is going to give him such great care.”
“Another great experience with Erin! This time she was taking care of my cat for over two weeks! She did perfect work, was punctual, was very caring and loving with my cat. She is very detail oriented and will reach out to you for anything that might require your attention. You can’t go wrong with Erin!”
About: What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like an individual, not just a booking. I’m patient and attentive, with experience caring for puppies (basic commands, potty routines, and leash manners) and senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra comfort. I pay close attention to body language and routines so dogs feel safe and understood. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or older, I focus on calm, reliable care and clear communication with owners. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around walks, feedings, playtime, and check ins so dogs get consistent attention and care. I’m used to managing routines like morning and evening walks, potty breaks, and quiet time, and I stay flexible to meet each pet’s needs. Because animals are already a regular part of my life, caring for pets doesn’t feel rushed it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize Safety, trust, and a calm environment are always my top priorities. In my home or a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions. I keep spaces clean, secure, and free of hazards, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals, use positive reinforcement only, and make sure pets feel comfortable and respected. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“We had a great experience with Hsuan-Chu. She took such good care of our cats and really spent time playing with them, which they loved. Clove is usually pretty shy and nervous around new people, but she actually felt comfortable with Hsuan-Chu and even warmed up to her, which meant a lot to us. Cumin also enjoyed spending time with her and clearly had a great time playing. Communication was easy, we always got thoughtful updates, and we could tell they were both happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again.”
“Keilah was such a great sitter. She was very quick to respond, very accommodating, and spent plenty of time making sure the pups were entertained while she dropped in for the hour. Definitely would book again!”
About: I have been involved with animals all my life, from hand raising puppies and kittens born at home to adopting my own furry friends from rescues. I can offer a warm, friendly environment, no matter the age of your pup. I have spent time fostering puppies and am comfortable with house training, crate training, and channeling puppy energy into constructive toys, puzzles, games, and behaviors. I will have no problem treating your senior pup with the care they need as well, including any medication needs they may havel. I have a 4 year old dog who would love to play with your puppy and is calm enough to handle an older dog with less energy or mobility. While I do have cats, they are used to dogs and will be either indifferent or play with yours, depending on temperment. Pet care is incorporated into everything. Our daily routine is typically as follows: 6:00 AM - 7:00 AM - Breakfast, outside for morning potty break, and medication for one of the cats 9:00 AM - Trip to th dog park or long walk around the neighborhood, typically about an hour 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM - Chill at home, various trips outside throughout the day for playtime or training, and potty breaks 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM - Dinner time and trip to the dog park if one didn't happen in the morning 7:00 PM - Medication fora a cat the cats 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM - Outside for the last potty break for the night This schedule is relatively flexible around any drop offs and pick ups needed for doggo friends spending the day with us. Our schedule is adaptable to include the needs of any additional I strive to provide a safe environment for all my pets, and this extends to any temporary addition to my home. My place is gated with a large grassy area for potty breaks and playing. Our dog has several canine friends with the neighbors and they will often get the zoomies together chasing each other outside. When traveling I make sure to buckle my passengers in with seatbelts that clip to their harness and at night I use LED collars so everyone can be seen.
“rebooked, and karina’s attention, love, care, and proactiveness has stayed consistent (with even more great photos!) - we can see how comfortable our mayor squid is with her ♡ big thanks for taking time out of the holiday to care for squid, and our home ♡”
“This was my first time using Rover, and actually my first time hiring someone to watch my four cats. Jenifer instantly made me feel comfortable and helped me through the process. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my cats would be cared for. I will definitely book with Jenifer again!”
“Li took fantastic care of my two cats! She sent daily updates with photos and information about the visit and was very proactive about checking that everything was as it should be. She worked well with the cats and got them to trust her and respond with affection despite being a new person to them. It is reassuring to have someone like Li taking care of them when I can't be there!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog parent with experience caring for both small and large breeds from puppyhood to senior years. I have two dogs, including a 13-year-old, and have raised them since they were 2 months old. I provide patient, reliable care and treat every dog like my own. My schedule can be flexible when your location is close by. I have more flexibility during weekends and holidays. Currently I cannot offer boarding services. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, pay attention to behavior and health changes, and provide calm, attentive care in their own familiar environment. I believe pets feel most secure at home, and I’m committed to earning your trust through clear communication, reliability, and respect for your space.

She was an amazing cat sitter , so helpful, incredibly responsive, and genuinely caring. She sent the best photos and her updates were super detailed, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My cat clearly loved her and they got along so well from the start. She was also very considerate and even helped keep an eye on a couple of packages. Highly, highly recommend!
We struck gold with Caroline. What I appreciated most is her complete reliability. She does exactly what was planned for my cat, Boko, which gives me total peace of mind while I'm away. My cat is sweet but gave Caroline a hard time one day. She was cool, collected, and very understanding about the situation. She goes the extra mile with little things I didn't even ask for! Coming home to a happy pet and the house tidy is the best feeling. A truly down-to-earth and trustworthy sitter. I didn’t worry once with her and that’s a first. Will always ask her to take care of my pet!
Lucy was sooo amazing with my 2 cats the week we were out of town. She remembered all of their favorite toys and foods, and even showed them a new favorite way to eat their treats! They tend to get too excited with food and it comes back up, and Lucy flagged it to us and monitored them, and adjusted her treat-giving strategy accordingly which was really kind of her. My cats get very lonely and stressed out when we leave, and despite their hesitation around strangers they looked forward to her visits and waited for her by the door. I also worry about them when I travel, but she was very responsive with comms and shared super detailed daily reports and hundreds of adorable pics that put my heart at ease! I will definitely be asking her to come hang out with my cats again in the future & would highly recommend her to my friends & other cat families out there!
I am so impressed with Anke! Not only is she friendly and responsible, she goes above and beyond anything any other pet sitter has done. Not only did she drop me a note & pictures to let me know she had stopped in the feed my kitty, she let me know about how my cat had eaten, what was happening in the litter box and mentioned giving my cat her meds every day. I hadn’t even realized how comforting it would be to know that my cat was getting her meds every day until Anke did just that. For the owner of an old kitty this was so welcome!!!
Angelee and Charles were amazing! They did drop ins to check up on our kitties and they did great. Kitties were very happy with the love/attention, treats and a clean litter box while we were away for almost 2 weeks. Angelee and Charles even promptly came by on an unscheduled day to fix our auto feeder when one of the cats broke it! I highly recommend and would rebook whenever we have another trip ^^
She is an exceptionally detailed carer. I am more than happy to recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting in the area. She will go above and beyond to not just look after the pets basic needs but also look out for things you may have forgotten to mention like temperature control in the house, or vacuuming the bathroom floor. She taught me things like whisker fatigue in cats and what helps that, displaying her knowledge and willingness to care for your pet like her own. She is also proactive, and easy to work with and happy to pick up a package that urgently needed to be picked up while we were gone. Overall, I was very reassured to have her care for Yuki because I knew she was in good hands. Please hire her!
Deana was the greatest sitter I could have asked for over this holiday period. They ensured that Opal was so well taken care of from making sure all of her sustenance was maintained to playing with her and giving me regular updates. It’s care my cat was treated as one of their own. I’m forever grateful!
Li took fantastic care of my two cats! She sent daily updates with photos and information about the visit and was very proactive about checking that everything was as it should be. She worked well with the cats and got them to trust her and respond with affection despite being a new person to them. It is reassuring to have someone like Li taking care of them when I can't be there!
We had a great experience with Lisa! She took wonderful care of our two elderly cats over the holidays and gave us total peace of mind. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly very comfortable caring for senior pets. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and would absolutely book with her again.
