About: Of course I love animals, but what matters more to me is noticing who your pet actually is. Are they the kind of dog who needs to sniff the same corner for five minutes before moving on? Are they a little shy at first and pretending not to care? Do they get excited easily and need someone calm around them? Are they a cat who wants company, but absolutely not too much company? I really enjoy figuring out those little things. I’m gentle, patient, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. I don’t believe in rushing them or treating every animal the same. Some pets need play and attention, some need slow walks and quiet reassurance, and some just need someone kind nearby so the house does not feel empty. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that still feels familiar to them. I’m also very careful with instructions. Feeding routines, medications, walk preferences, favorite toys, things that scare them, how they like to be greeted, whether they are allowed on the couch. I want to know all of it. I know these details are not “extra.” They are usually the things that make a pet feel secure. I’ll also send updates and photos, not just to say everything is fine, but so you can actually feel connected to them while you are away. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, may also help me sometimes, and you may see her in some of my photos. She has had pets since childhood and fostered animals for several years, so she is very used to different personalities, nervous pets, affectionate pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. She is calm, loving, and very responsible, and I trust her completely with animals. Between the two of us, your pet will be cared for by people who genuinely like being around animals, but who also understand that trust matters. I’ll treat your pet with warmth, patience, and care, and I’ll treat your home and instructions with respect. This year, much of my work is remote, which gives me real flexibility in my schedule. That means I’m able to spend unrushed, attentive time with pets, not just quick check-ins, but actual companionship, care, and presence. I can shape my day around walks, visits, feeding times, play, and quiet company, depending on what each pet needs. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, who is included in the pictures, also helps me out with my Rover schedules. My home is my cat Lilo’s safe little kingdom, so I can’t host other pets here. But I’m very happy to come to your home, meet outside for walks, or figure out a setup that feels easy and comfortable for you and your pet.
“Super communicative and very sweet to talk with!! Updated daily with pictures and made effort to engage with both of my cats! My cats seemed comfortable with her and I will definitely utilize her again.”
“Absolutely amazing from start to finish! She took the time to do a meet and greet to meet our goldendoodle peaches. Asked questions about how we were transitioning her kibble and gave loving care to our puppy while we were away at work. Her reports are detailed with videos and pictures of all the fun they had and she even offered to clean my floors when they got dirty from the salt on our sidewalk from the snow storm we had last week. You will not regret booking her!”
“Thank you so much for watching them. I’m so impressed how you are always able to find my hiding kitties so we know that they are doing okay! Mango will definitely miss you! :)”
“Paz was very responsible and timely. She showed kindness to the cats, cleaned up after them, made sure they had food and water. One of my cats needs a medicated eye-drop regularly and Paz was confident in her ability to administer the eye-drop. I would hire her again.”
“This was our first time working with Raquel, and it went very well. She stopped by to spend an hour with our two dogs, Tate and Penny, well also feeding them and giving them lots of love. Raquel was very good communicator, was on time, and provided photographs of her time with our dogs. We are really excited that we found Raquel and look forward to having her spend more time with our dogs, Tate and Penny in the future. If anyone’s looking for a five star Pet Sitter on Rover Raquel‘s your gal!”
“Brenna offered great care to our two cats during the hottest week of the year thus far, communicating in real time during check ins to help our finicky eat and be comfortable. Thank you, Brenna!”
“Michael is amazing! He goes above and beyond and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with him dropping in a few times a day. I have never left my dog with someone I didn’t know. He sent pictures during all of his visits and even bought my big guy a new toy which has become his favorite! Michael also took my recycling bins out just to be kind. Truly above and beyond. Thank you for giving my family peace of mind knowing our dog was safe and cared for so we could enjoy vacation!”
“Evenly took great care of my two cats. She provided detailed daily updates and spoke about my cats like they were her own. I felt very comforted knowing the cats were in Evelyn’s hands while I was gone and I would not hesitate to book her again.”
“Linda took excelent care of Michi during the week I was away, she was super professional, provided constant communication, created detailed cards after each visit and always felt safe to have her come into my home! I would definitely recommend her services and use them again!”
“Had to leave my 7 month old puppy and was so nervous. Brianna met him before hand and I knew he’d be okay. I got a detailed report every time she was with him with pics and video. Highly recommend!”
“Tamikia did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away. She came at the scheduled time and did all that was asked of her and more. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. We enjoyed receiving the daily updates and photos while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”
“Olga is awesome!! She was great with my three kitties. She’s professional, warm and reliable - three best qualities for anyone caring for pets. This is my second time booking her and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Michell and Tiago took great care of our cat Loona, and the photos and videos we got showed Loona happy and healthy too! Michell was very communicative and kept me in the loop of any updates. I was so reassured by their care for Loona, and would would definitely book again!”

Barbara and Austin were fantastic with our cats, Baylor and Bentley. I take my cats' care very seriously, and this was the first time I had ever hired a petsitter outside of family. They came by a few weeks ahead of time to meet us, and more specifically, our cat Baylor, who is diabetic and on a strict care routine. By the end of our meeting, I was confident that my boys would be in good hands. And they were! During their visit, Baylor safely received his glucose check, feeding, and medicine. What impressed me even more was that they managed to win over Bentley, who is extremely shy and almost never comes out for strangers. The fact that he felt comfortable enough to come out for them speaks volumes. I was genuinely surprised. Bentley is usually afraid of his own shadow. Barbara was very responsive to all of my messages, and also sent an update with photos after their visit. She and Austin are reliable, patient, and kind. Most importantly, Baylor and Bentley were comfortable, too! They will certainly be our first choice the next time we need a reliable caregiver for our boys.
Angelica did a great job visiting our two cats. She sent lots of pics, and I can see they got lots of love and attention. She also did a great job keeping things clean and brought in our mail without being asked. I really appreciate that! I definitely recommend her.

Robyn was absolutely phenomenal! I was going away on a work trip and feeling a bit anxious about leaving my kitties for an extended period of time as I was going cross-country. This was the first time I was doing this along with using a cat sitter. At the suggestion of a dear friend, I signed up for Rover and Robyn put me at ease immediately. From our first meetup, I knew I made a great decision. She was very thorough in taking pictures and checking in with me and also followed my directions I left for her. I also noted her thoughtfulness and attention to detail and care. She treated my cats with dignity and love and even my dad was in awe of what a great job she was doing in my absence. I will definitely use Robyn’s services again! She is a gem and Rover is so lucky to have her!
Olivia was wonderful and helped keep our minds at ease while we were away. This is the longest trip we’ve taken and were reassured with daily check-in photos and details on our cats. Olivia is always quick to respond and was so wonderful to work with. She provided so many photos that truly highlighted how well the cats were cared for a while we were away. Our cats aren’t the most friendly which she understood and worked with their personalities. Highly recommended Olivia for any cat sitting needs
