Pet Sitting Tam O'shanter

“Zubia is incredibly sweet and communicative and our cat took to her instantly. Being brand new to the area, we were nervous to leave our cat, but Zubia made us feel very comfortable and was flexible to work with our needs. I absolutely will reach out to her again!”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including pet sitting experience outside the U.S. I’m new to Rover in the United States, but I’m not new to pet care. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, litter box care, basic grooming, and following detailed owner instructions. I also have pets of my own, so I understand how important consistency, patience, and clear communication are. I’m comfortable caring for cats and dogs of different breeds, mixed breeds, and sizes, including large dogs, as long as they are friendly, well-socialized, and a good fit after a meet-and-greet. I’m happy to send regular photo updates and keep communication clear during the stay. My availability is focused on planned house sitting, weekends, and weekday evenings. I prefer bookings with advance notice so we can do a meet-and-greet, review the pet’s routine, and make sure the booking is a good fit. During a stay, I follow the agreed schedule for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication notes, and updates. If I need to step out, I make sure it fits the pet’s care plan and the owner’s instructions. Most of my care is provided in the client’s home, where I follow the owner’s instructions and house rules carefully. I keep doors, windows, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes secure, and I do not allow off-leash time unless the owner has clearly approved it in a safe area. I pay attention to feeding instructions, medications, behavior changes, appetite, energy level, and emergency contacts. I keep the home clean and respectful, and I send regular updates so owners know their pets are safe and comfortable.

“Sage did a wonderful job taking care of Licorice! He managed to deal with our apartment instructions and make sure our pup had his trips to the bathroom! I look forward to booking with him again!”

About: I've had poodles most my life and am such an animal lover that I have rescued dogs, squirrels, chipmunks, birds and seals (volunteering with Seal Sitters). I do have allergies to large shedding dogs and all cats. Hypo-allergenic dogs (ideally for allergies - poodles, poodle mixes or similar) are welcome. If you have a cat, I can not visit your house to walk your dog. Monday - Thursday, we both work in & out of the home. The pups would have (2) 3hr intervals per day of roaming free in our dog friendly house. They would get walks in the morning and/or at noon as needed. When we are home, they get lots of love, attention and exercise. Friday - Sunday, we are home most of the time. We have a clean and dog friendly home with a lovely fenced back yard. Our dog, Teddy, is a very friendly and well mannered old toy poodle. Our other dog, Zoey, has lots of energy and loves snuggle ruffing with most mid-size dogs. We have lots of options in ways to separate dogs (yard dividers and pocket doors) if need be while still giving tons of attention to each dog.

“Emily did an amazing job with my dog! This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit worried to see how my dog will do but Emily was super communicative and made sure I was in the loop throughout the entire process. My dog has trouble trusting strangers but he warmed up to Emily so quickly. Would definitely ask Emily again to take care of my dog!”

About: Hi! I'm Dylan, and I've spent years caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, ages, and needs. I take a calm, patient approach and believe that every animal is an individual. I'm especially comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, or more sensitive pets. I pay close attention to body language and work at each animal's pace so they can feel safe, comfortable, and understood. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter routine, I'll adapt my care to what works best for them. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, administering oral medications, and caring for senior dogs. I'm comfortable with both small and large breeds and focus on preventing problems before they happen through careful supervision and good communication. You can expect reliable care, regular photo updates, and respect for your pet's routine and your home. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible while ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I currently focus on drop-in visits and am available most days for morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins. I am unavailable on Tuesdays and have limited availability Wednesday mornings due to appointments, but I am available later in the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and can be flexible with timing—feel free to reach out to coordinate! During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet gets the care, attention, and routine they’re used to while you’re away. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks if needed, playtime, and lots of companionship. I take a calm and patient approach, especially with pets who may be shy or nervous, and I always pay close attention to body language to keep things safe and comfortable. I’m very reliable and detail-oriented, so I’ll follow any care instructions closely and keep you updated with messages and photos after each visit. Drop-in visits are a great option for dogs or cats who are more comfortable staying in their own home, and I do my best to make each visit a positive experience.

“Yijun is very kind and attentive! She sent detailed updates each visit including photos and videos showing feeding, litter, and playtime. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was done correctly. My cat Isha was very happy the whole time.”

“Great communication and worked with us on tight notice. My (typically shy) dog warmed up to him immediately at the meet and greet. Thank you for taking great care of her!”

Sarah F.

“Christian was our first ever Rover, and he did a great job sending us pictures and updates at each check in to ensure we felt comfortable leaving two big energetic dogs in his care! We came home to two very happy dogs and would love to work with Christian again the next time we need a sitter.”

Julianna C.

“Emily was easily the BEST rover sitter I’ve ever used. She was booked to do 30 min drop ins for my cat while I was gone for nearly 3 weeks, and she was so sweet and communicative! I will definitely be using her services again the next time I’m out of town!!”

“James took great care of Booboo at the agreed times while we were out of town and was a big help! He took great photos and gave him extra attention to boot!”

About: I grew up with 2 puppies and now my own dog is 9 and my cat is 8. I provide attentive, safety-focused care for your pets and make sure they feel secure and loved just like I care for my own pets. I work a daytime job, but my weekday evenings and weekends are flexible, allowing me to provide consistent attention and companionship when you fur friends need it. I prioritize safety and respect your space. I follow your instructions closely, keep your pet's environment clean and calm. I treat your home with the same care and as I do to my own so you can feel confident that everything is safe and tidy.

“Amazing experience—she gave each of our cats individual attention and kept us updated with tons of photos and detailed notes. Would absolutely recommend!”

Rachel T.

“Crystal took great care of my cat. The lock on my door failed and she found a way to make my home secure. I appreciate the extra effort that was made to make the experience worry free for me.”

“Martina went above and beyond to take care of my dog while I was out of town for work. This included belly rubs, snuggles, play time, and walks. It really felt that Martina treated him as if he was her own. She stuck to the agreed schedule and made sure he was happy. If another opportunity presents itself, I will be reaching back out.”
