“Nichole came by to check on our two kitties for a few days while we were on vacation. She was responsive, sent lots of photos, and let us know of anything we should know. I appreciated how thorough her notes were and that she treated our cats like they were hers. She shared anything she would want to know as a pet parent (for example, when one of our kitties got a sad tummy). I would be confident leaving the kitties in Nichole’s care again and will book with her again and will recommend her to friends.”
“Analise is always my first pick for a sitter. She is sweet, caring, professional and trustworthy. I can leave my house with peace of mind when she takes care of my bunny, and he always loves to see her!”
“Casey is the best!! My apartment kept having power outages and losing air conditioning during a heatwave, but Casey was able to switch the fuse back on and double the amount of visits on short notice to make sure my cat wasn't stuck in a hot apartment! She was very caring with my cat and has a new friend for life - make that two new friends!”
About: Hi, I’m Katherin. I live in the countryside with my husband, our Great Dane, two cats, and a flock of eight chickens. Animals are a big part of my everyday life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I also enjoy gardening, spending time in nature, and being surrounded by animals—whether I’m at home or helping care for yours. Growing up, pets were always part of my family, and my very first job as a kid was pet sitting for neighbors. Since then, I’ve continued caring for animals of all kinds—my own dogs and cats, as well as those of friends and family. I’ve had the pleasure of looking after pets ranging from tiny Yorkshire Terriers to gentle Great Danes, and I’m experienced in administering medication and providing senior pet care. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I’m not working another job, so I can dedicate plenty of time to your pets—and eventually, I hope to make pet sitting my full-time work! When I’m house sitting, please note that my husband works a 12-hour rotating shift—three days one week and four days the next. On the days he’s working, I’ll need to return home briefly to care for my own pets. During that time, I’d be away from your home for no more than 6 hours. Your pets’ comfort and well-being are always my top priority, and I’ll make sure they’re settled and cared for before stepping out. A few years ago, my husband and I used Rover for the first time, and I know firsthand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pets in someone else's care. Fortunately, it turned out to be a wonderful experience—our sitter kept us updated with messages and photos, and we came home to happy, relaxed pets. That peace of mind was truly priceless. I carry that experience with me every time I care for someone’s pets. I’m committed to providing a safe, trustworthy, and stress-free environment, just like I’d want for my own animals. Regular updates, clear communication, and attentive care are all part of how I help you feel confident and comfortable while you're away.
About: I’ve had experience with helping with puppies and other ages of dogs. I personally have a cat of my own and I’ve had 4 years of experience with cats. I am currently working 35-40 hours a week and I am mostly free in the afternoons and evening. I am completely free on Sundays too! I follow the care instructions outlined by the owner and treat the pets with so much love. I can play with the pets as needed!
“Ashley is great! This was our first time leaving our kitten for a short weekend. She was patient and flexible with him, even when he was stubborn about where he wanted to eat. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been around dogs, cats, and even farm animals since I was very young. I worked as a kennel technician at a vet in college, so I have plenty of experience with animals, as well as administering medication. I grew up helping my parents out at their doggy daycare and boarding facility. Friends and family always give me a call when they need someone to watch their furry friends! I am currently a student, so I have lots of free time throughout the days during the week, as well as weekends to take your pups on walks, or pop in when needed to check on your feline friends. I am very passionate about making sure your furry friend is happy and relaxed when I arrive at your home. I will ensure your pup/cat has everything they need to keep them happy throughout the day.
About: Welcome to my profile! I have been caring for + rehabilitating animals into thriving health my entire life. Having grown up with dogs, cats, chickens, and wild animals, I understand that our furry friends are members of the family and need the highest level of care possible. I have experience walking and caring for dogs and cats of any size and age. When on walks or caring for pets, I am committed to giving them my undivided attention (no texting and walking!) and treat them as I would my own. Happy to accommodate for animals with special needs. I live on a large property and am able to provide animals with an abundance of exercise, fresh air, and activity! Thorough walks guaranteed. A tired dog is a happy dog! My love and passion for animals transfers into the high quality care I provide. With my experience in rehabilitating unwell animals, I can provide thorough and holistic care + attention towards every need. My intention is to up level their quality of life with my care! I look forward to giving many belly rubs soon! I am an extremely active person and spend many hours outdoors with community. Due to this, animals thrive with me and our weekly fun activities. I am extremely clean, organized, and can offer extraordinary house-sit care, along with attentive and loving care for your animal + plant friends. I can offer consistent exercise for your animal friends, as well.
“Melissa absolutely rocks! We were gone for 7 days. She kept our dogs walked, brushed, and skritched. We got daily updates and at least 2 pictures each day. She cared for our babies as of they were her own. Highly recommend!!”
“Maria was great and my boys warmed up to her immediately. She was on time, followed all special instructions, and did absolutely amazing! Marco and Brody will be happy to have her check in again. Thank you Maria!”
About: I would love to meet new breeds! My family and I have always had dogs or cats and I currently have my own cat. I have a love for the outdoors and fur :) I am available pretty much all day every day and willing to walk, sit with your pets whenever needed. I would love to meet new pets! Whatever the client needs to me do for their pet, I’m willing to do it! I am trustworthy, on time, and patient. Three things a pet sitter needs to be!
“Kathrine was great to our boy! It was our first time leaving since we got to our new place, and we felt so at ease leaving him under her care. She sent plenty of images and updates, and I’m sure our cat is looking forward to their next playtime together!!”
“Zoe was one of the best cat sitters we have ever hired using Rover! She sent us a ton of pictures and kept us updated on their status which made us feel so much better while we were gone. We came home to happy and healthy kitties! You won't regret hiring her and we would book with her again in a heartbeat.”

“Katherin has helped me several times with walking my dog, Jasmine. Her calm yet very friendly manner puts Jasmine at ease. Jasmine gets pretty excited whenever she sees Katherin approaching from a distance. I trust Katherin entirely as I know that she understands the rules of the road and the importance of taking a frequent pause for Jasmine's all-important sniffing time! I recommend Katherin highly.”
