“Rachel was wonderful with my cat Boris! I am new to the area and I was very nervous in finding a new sitter for my cat. My cat loves meeting new people but tends to be nervous if he has to meet people for a long time. Fortunately, my cat took to Rachel well and I felt that Boris could connect with her. Rachel was very open to coming over to get a quick run down on Boris's cat business at home. Rachel was very receptive and understanding with his preferences. While I was away, Rachel was very responsive to my texts and was even kind enough to bring in a package that I forgot was arriving. She definitely took the time to check in with Boris and make sure that he was okay for the day. I truly felt that Boris was in great hands with Rachel and I would definitely have Rachel come by again.”


“Maryann was great with our cat and sent me lots of great pictures and updates. She also left an adorable gift for my pets and was easy to reach for updates. Would definitely use her again 😀”


“Wen did a great job taking care of our cat, Lani! She was professional and gave Lani the much needed attention she craved while we were away and of course provided daily updates on how Lani was doing. When we came home, Lani was happy, healthy, and so full of energy to see us! Thanks so much Wen!”


“We are very happy to have had Yong because he seemed very professional from the first moment and immediately created a strong empathy with Ariel. We closely felt very reassured and calm when we separated from our cat and it was very nice to find him calm and peaceful upon our return!”


“Phil was incredibly responsive, friendly, and went above and beyond while taking care of my cat, Tuna. I appreciated how comfortable he made her (and me!) I’d highly recommend him to anyone in the area needing pet sitting.”


About: I’ve had both dogs and cats throughout my life and have always taken pride in giving them the best care possible. Over the years, my love for animals has only grown—especially for cats. As I got older, that bond became even stronger, which eventually led me to having four cats of my own, all of whom I love deeply and care for like family. What sets me apart is my genuine connection with animals and my understanding of their unique personalities and needs. Whether it's keeping a shy cat comfortable, giving a senior pet extra patience, or just making sure every little detail is handled with care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. As someone who works from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of free time throughout the day and week to focus on pet care. My remote work is structured in a way that gives me the freedom to plan around pet visits and provide consistent, attentive care. Whether it’s morning check-ins, midday playtime, or evening visits, I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs and make sure your pet gets the time, love, and attention they deserve! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can create a calm, secure environment that feels familiar and stress-free. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, playtime, or keeping the litter box clean and tidy. I make sure pets feel safe and cared for, and I always keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. At my home, pets have a quiet, cat-friendly space where they can relax without stress or overcrowding. I’m mindful of keeping things clean, secure, and peaceful—especially for more sensitive or shy cats. My goal is always to treat your pet (and your home) with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

About: I have spent my entire life around animals. My home has been shared with cats, dogs, snakes, birds, a rabbit, an iguana. I was also a veterinarian assistant for over a year. I took care of any and every animal that walked through our doors; cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, rabbits. Animals of all sizes. I walked, fed, bathed and cleaned up after them. I cared for them as if they were my own and will continue to do so with every animal entrusted to my care! I am currently working from home but my schedule can be flexible. I daily job and walk times work around each other so please notify me at least 2 days in advance of your booking date and I will try my best to make it work for you! As stated on my profile, I have a strict 7 day cancellation policy applied and it is automatically enforced by the Rover app. This is due to the nature of my day job as I may need to adjust those hours when scheduling a booking of any kind. Please be mindful of this, thank you. I always make sure their sleeping area is clean and tidy and I always make sure there is available fresh water. Food is given at a schedule dependent on the individuals needs. I give plenty of time for play/attention to ensure that they always feel loved and never lonely. Sometimes they want to be left alone and I respect that as well.

About: While I’ve never had a cat or dog (parental allergies), I’ve always loved them! My neighbors had cats and dogs so growing up I spent a lot of time around them and helped take care of them. I especially enjoy long walks :) I work from home two days a week so my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to spend my free time with furry friends! Your pets’ safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll be attentive to your pets’ needs and ensure they always feel happy, safe, and loved.

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do it’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and have been looking after them my whole life, so understanding their needs, personalities, and quirks comes naturally to me. I currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat of my own, each with their own unique story and personality, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Two of my pets came from difficult pasts: one of my dogs was rescued from an abusive home, and my cat was found living on the street. Helping them heal, trust, and feel safe again has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and consistency in animal care. Those experiences have shaped how I approach every pet I meet whether they’re shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, I make sure they feel loved and comfortable. When you trust me with your pet, you can be sure they’ll be treated like family. I pay attention to their routines, their likes and dislikes, and I’m committed to giving them not only the basics like food, water, and exercise but also plenty of affection, playtime, and comfort while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being will always be my top priority. Caring for animals is woven into my everyday life. Each morning starts with feeding, fresh water, and some playtime or walks for my pets, making sure they start the day happy and energized. Throughout the day, I check in regularly for cuddle breaks, grooming, and any special needs they might have. In the evenings, we have another round of walks, play, or quiet bonding time before bed. On a weekly basis, I make time for deeper cleaning, restocking supplies, and longer outdoor adventures. Because I already live in a rhythm centered around animals, adding care for other pets naturally blends into my schedule your pets will get the same attention, love, and consistency I give my own. When caring for pets my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, from feeding schedules and walk times to playtime and cuddles. I pay close attention to their behavior and body language so I can meet their needs, whether that’s extra play for energetic pets or quiet company for more relaxed ones. In my home, pets have a clean, cozy space to relax, plenty of fresh water, and a safe environment to explore. In a client’s home, I respect their space and care for it just as I would my own, making sure pets feel secure and happy in their familiar surroundings.

About: I’ve taken care of my chihuahua for 8 years and a Golden Retriever for 2years. I can take care of your fur baby as well. I am currently free on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays and can care for pets. I would love to accompany pets when their pet parents are not available. I will make sure your pet is safe and comfortable during my drop in visit and during walk time. Pictures can also be sent for further assurance.
