“Alondra did an outstanding job taking care of Miss Lily. My kitty couldn't have hoped for a better sitter. She was waiting at the door, always happy to see her sitter. I highly recommend the device of Alondra.”
“Jennifer was great. She used a very thorough checklist to make sure she’s providing for the cate and comfort of your pet. She actually had me think of a few things I had t even considered, like setting up a pet first aid kit. Her photos shows she was attentive and caring with my kitty. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Adriana to bring care of our cat when we were out of town. She was punctual, arrived on time, followed all of our directions and gave our cat lots of attention and rubs. Definitely will be working with her in the future!”
“Diane is amazing! she took care of our little beast and kept us updated every day! When our flight was delayed she even dropped in one more time! Very easy to work with and reliable.”
“My dog Harvey loves Vicky! she’s dependable, always on time and does everything we ask of her when she comes in for drop in visits. We have already rebooked her. She’s great!”
“Kristine is the sweetest and the kindest person, really helpful for all requests, very flexible and easy to communicate. My dog loves her and Atlas and gets very excited to meet them every single time. She is our go-to person whenever we are out of town. I would highly recommend booking Kristen.”
“Anna was amazing - she took great care of my kittens and they loved her! This was their first time being alone and Anna made sure they were very well looked after. She was always on time, very professional and easy to work with, and very thorough in her approach. So glad to have found her as I'm always worried leaving my cats alone. I will rebook with Anna in future!”
“Elvira did drop ins on my two cats while I was away, they are shy cats but did come out to play with her which is a huge compliment. My extra cautious girl cat even allowed Elvira to pet her!”
About: I have taken care of my own pets since I was 10. I have also shown dogs the basic commands of sit, wait, jump paired with hand gestures. I have 3 dogs of my own that I care for as well as a cat. I have fostered kittens and found them good homes as well as cared for an stray, injured kitten. I am a university alumni, currently unemployed but do volunteer work. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I am available to do drop ins to play with your pet and taken them out on potty breaks as well as take them on walks. I am available to care for your pets any day. I can care for your pets by doing drop ins to engage in play time/have potty breaks and taking them out for their walks to release energy and promote a healthy lifestyle. I have a crate in my home and pet supplies (dog wipes, food, etc) to use if necessary.
“Allyn thank you so very much for taking care of our big boy for giving love and kisses. Allyn is the BEST the care she gave our boy was stupendous. I felt safe and comfortable knowing she was taking care of our Capitan, her communication and updates of our boy were great appreciated. I will definitely book you again hopefully soon Allyn!! Thank you again for all your help!”
About: First-time bookings on Rover can get a $20 discount! Use my code kaitlt22451 for additional savings, even if you don't book with me 🌟 Pet Veteran 🐾 I've been on Rover since 2024 and have cared for pets of family and friends long before I joined Rover. I am particularly experienced in caring for and training senior dogs. I understand the need to prepare special meals for dietary needs and catering playtime to a dog's health and interests. Administering oral medicine is no biggie for me, as long as I'm made aware of how they usually prefer to take their meds! If the dog is able to, I love taking them out for walks and playing games to keep their mind and body stimulated. There is nothing better than loving our furry family members who always give us unconditional love! I also have experience caring for cats and knowing the importance of respecting their space and letting them come to me when they're comfortable! I love playing with cats or even just watching them sunbathe in the most random parts of a home. I am open to caring for all types of animals (I've had to watch hamsters in addition to dogs before), so your pet will always be showered with love! Prior to Booking 🗓️ I will always ask to schedule a meet & greet to ensure your pet is comfortable with me. During this meet & greet, I'd love to know more about your pet's daily routine, a tour of your home, and any other housekeeping notes I should know during the stay. The meet & greet is to see if we're a good fit and make sure we're both comfortable proceeding with the booking. I always ask my clients to type up a document with pet care instructions and any notes about the home to ensure things run as smoothly as possible. If your pet requires constant supervision due to separation anxiety or behavior that requires special attention (aggressive behavior, chews on personal items, constantly barks throughout the day, always pulls on the leash, not potty trained, has a habit of biting or scratching unprovoked), an additional flat fee of $20 will be added to reflect the additional care that they'll require. What to Expect 💭 Multiple photo updates during the day! I always send photos before they're requested. You'll see what your pets are up to, whether there are any issues going on that you need to know, or just silly moments of them that I happened to capture. It'll be like you never left them. Many walks (around 2-3 times a day), cuddles, treats (as allowed), and toys to keep your pet entertained during the day! Your home will be respected and kept in a clean condition. I understand the anxiety of having someone else in your home, so I'll always respect boundaries about rooms to leave untouched, taking out the garbage, bringing in mail, and washing any dishes that may be used. I also try to clean your pet's food and water bowls daily to ensure their health and safety! I will often put any used towels or bedsheets in one place or pre-loaded into the washing machine so that you're aware of what was used. I am available during the entire week, including weekends, so I plan my day around your pet's schedule for quality feeding time, play time, and cuddles! I typically spend most of the day with your pet, stepping out to run errands as necessary. To respect my time, if you require more than one meet & greet, they will be $15 for 30 minutes each. The first meet & greet is free! I always keep track of where the pet is in the home and maintain a watchful eye of what they’re eating, playing with, or exploring. Since I have a senior dog of my own, I understand the need to react quickly to any alarming noises or behavior and am able to think on my feet to address concerns while also keeping you in the loop! I am also quick to notice when play time is getting too intense and a fight might break out so I know when to step in and distract pets to help de-escalate the situation.
“Isabella was very professional and very good with my cats! She easily got my cat to take her medicine and followed other instructions perfectly as well. I always appreciate her detailed updates on my cats. Definitely recommend!”
“My husband and I were gone for two weeks and Colin did a great job caring for both of our cats. She was very communicative and followed all of our instructions to the letter. She gave our very needy, cuddly cat Mako lots of love while making sure to check in on our nervous cat Suki. She even made an extra trip one day to make sure she could find Suki when she hid during the actual sit. We came back home to two happy, healthy cats!”
About: I provide active, attentive, and structured care for both dogs and cats, with a focus on exercise, comfort, and individualized attention. For dogs, I’m especially a great fit for higher-energy pets that need more activity and engagement. I provide: • 3 daily walks (typically 20 mins to 1 hour each depending on energy level and needs) • A large fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise • Plenty of interaction, playtime, and supervision throughout the day I also have extensive experience caring for cats and have raised 5+ cats over the years. For cats that prefer quieter environments or separation from dogs, I have a dedicated empty bedroom available to help them feel safe and relaxed. Additional care I can provide includes: • Brushing and de-shedding • Nail trimming • Basic dental cleaning (if tolerated) • Frequent updates with photos/videos I focus on quality care and take a limited number of pets so I can give each one more attention and a calmer experience. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, or evening visits. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your cat’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I prioritize reliability and will make sure your cat is cared for on time every visit, whether it’s daily check-ins or extended care. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment and always follow your care instructions closely. I understand that cats can be sensitive to changes, so I focus on minimizing stress and maintaining their normal routine. I’m experienced with handling cats gently, including grooming (brushing, nail trimming, and basic hygiene if your cat allows). I pay close attention to their behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I will keep you updated with photos and notes after each visit. Your cat’s safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities.
“She took great care of our cats, including our one senior kitty who needs medication‘s given. She was very responsive and made us feel very comfortable, leaving town, knowing that she was there to care for our kitties.”
About: New to Rover but not to loving pets! I bring endless patience, genuine affection, and a commitment to making every animal feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My flexible schedule means I'm home more often than not, so pets in my care are never left alone for long. I tailor each day to what the animal needs most — no rigid routines, just attentive, responsive care. My apartment is a peaceful, pet-free space — clean, calm, and perfectly set up for your furry guest. The on-site pet park is a bonus your pup will absolutely love, offering a safe outdoor space to run, sniff, and play without ever having to go far. When visiting your home, I bring that same level of attentive, respectful care

Fernanda accepted a last minute booking and took great care of our two cats, including giving one medication. They can be a little fickle but she understood when they wanted attention and when they didn’t. She also provided good communication and pictures every visit, so we could relax knowing they were doing well. I will definitely trust her with them in the future!
Highly recommend Anna! We used her services for drop in visits while out of town. She was communicative, dependable and super caring for our pets. She offered to do a meet and greet in advance so that she could get familiar with the pets and their environment. I will definitely use her again when the need arises!
Jiamin is the best pet sitter ever! One of the things I appreciated most was how much attention and affection Jiamin gave to my cat. On top of that, Jiamin wrote a River Card after every visit and included tons of pictures and videos. My cat looked like he was having an amazing time—honestly, even more fun than he usually has with me, lol. Jiamin also noticed that my cat might benefit from having more companionship. Because of that, I requested an additional last-minute visit, and Jiamin was kind enough to accommodate it. I could feel the care and affection in every visit, and my cat definitely loved Jiamin.
Jenny is a great communicator and provided updates with many photos, which I really appreciated. She followed all feeding instructions carefully and gave consistent updates on how my 1-year-old cat was doing after each visit. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in good hands. She is punctual, attentive, and clearly understands and cares for cats. Highly recommend her!
Been trusting Lauren for years now and our pups prob love her more than us at this point. All the basics are covered but it’s the finer details like cleaning eye boogies that put her in another league. That and the best photos and storytelling I’ve ever seen. TY Lauren!
Melody responded super fast when I had a last-minute request to check on my cat. She went over to my apartment and checked on her right away. I really appreciate how quickly she replied and took action—she was a huge help! I'm incredibly grateful for her assistance.
Rendell was amazing with my cats. In addition to the standard care he was able to catch Darcy and give her the medication. He finished by washing the pet dishes, going beyind my ask. I can home to happy cats and didn't have to worry about my ailing cat while I was gone.
Yi is an amazing pet sitter. She took great care of my cat who absolutely adores her. She gave my cat plenty of play time, treats, cuddles, fresh water and clean litter. She took the time to meet up with me and my cat to learn about our space, my cat’s personality and needs. She was respectful of my home and was a great communicator. I would definitely book with Yi again!
