About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover & grew up with both a cat and a dog, so I know how to care for pets with different personalities and needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away, I’m here to provide reliable, attentive care like they’re part of my own family! I work full-time on a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. I’m typically available for evening visits on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I’ll always make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need, even with a busy schedule! I make sure pets feel at home with lots of love, playtime, and sticking to their routine. I have a turf balcony for quick potty breaks and fresh air, and I’m all about keeping them comfy and cared for while you’re away.

Jenna was a wonderful pet sitter for our cat Mochi. She came 1x/day during our vacation and sent a ton of pictures/videos, and even checked to see if she should bring in a package by our door/lower the AC because it was getting warm. Will definitely rebook!

Mathilda did such a great job taking care of our cat Phoebe. We had someone cancel last minute and she came in to save the day! Mathilda was communicative, kind, and attentive. We could tell she really cared. Phoebe can be hesitant with new visitors but the two became fast friends and left us at ease in her care. 10/10 would book again!

About: I've been working at a doggy daycare in San Francisco for over five years and I never get tired of working with puppies! I am capable of handling any sizes of dogs and I love it when they bond with me and follow me around. I am also experienced with dog sitting and it brings me joy to see the pups get snuggly at the end of the day. I’m working from home few days a week so I’m pretty flexible with the schedule. Evenings and weekends work for me too if you need a last minute reservation! My experience as a dog handler trained me to be aware of my surroundings and I am really good with communication so I won’t be hesitate to reach out to clients if I ever encounter any issues or have any questions regarding the pups.

Would definitely recommend Nina to anyone in need of pet care. She sent pictures every time she walked Stanley and always kept me updated, I will definitely be asking Nina for her assistance in the future. Thank you so much Nina!

May was absolutely amazing! I needed a sitter last minute, and she stepped in without hesitation and provided the best accommodation possible. She gave my dog Moose all the attention, care, and love he needed, and it truly showed. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I’m beyond happy with the experience and would 100% trust May again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!

Eileen was super friendly and communicative. She gave our more outgoing cat all of the attention she wanted, and she even made our our much more shy cat feel comfortable enough to come out of hiding for some pets! We've had sitters tell us that they didn't see our shy girl all week, so it's a big deal that she was ready to come out and meet Eileen after only three days!

Madeleine took such wonderful care of our cat while we were out of town! She was responsive and very understanding of all of his needs! With an older cat, it gives us a lot of comfort knowing that Madeleine is there to make sure he is ok when we aren't around. She sent us daily updates and pictures to keep us aware of how he was doing! We'll definitely be booking her in the future!

Chloe is clearly very experienced working with animals. She watched our cat for 2 weeks and gained the cat’s trust very quickly. It gave us peace of mind while we were away knowing our pet was in caring hands. Chloe provided great updates and photos while also being very responsive. She came in the clutch on short notice to watch our cat. We will definitely be in touch with Chloe for future visits!

First time using Rover and we couldn’t be happier with Monica and the care our cats received! From the very first visit, it was clear how much she genuinely loved cats. Monica kept us updated with daily photos (which looked like professional shots at times!) and messages throughout, so we never had to worry while we were away. The cats warmed up to her and really enjoyed all the play time she gave them. Our place was left incredibly tidy when we got home, which was greatly appreciated after being away for a week. We’ll absolutely be booking Monica again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring cat sitter. Thank you Monica!

My 15 year old diabetic cat recently entered DKA and underwent very intense and very costly treatment that required serious recovery and supervision. I took off a few weeks of work but due to the added costs I needed to return back to work in order to continue caring for her and treatments. I was of course naturally worried leaving her after having survived such a serious illness and Katie stepped in a really helped put all that anxiety and worry at ease for me. I truly feel like she made all my worries go away upon returning to works All her visits were well documented (she sent me lots of pictures and videos of play time sessions, medicines given, the food and water put out, and she always stayed for longer than booked for and I never came home to a mess. It was evident to me that she was treating my babies like they were her own. From phone calls to texts to in App updates Katie is truly a delight to work with and I can’t recommend her services enough to anyone looking for their pets to receive the same level of love and care that mine got from Katie. I work long hours in film and my old lady will need continued care so definitely plan to keep booking her as much as possible. For those who view their pets as children; Katie’s the one for you.

Sarah was so great with our two kitties! One takes a pill twice a day and Sarah was willing to come by to administer both times for multiple days. She easily figured out tricks to get our stubborn kitty to take her meds even when she didn’t want to, and our other shy kitty was quickly comfortable enough to come out of her hiding spot for food and pets. Highly recommend!
