“We went to Mammoth lake for Thanksgiving holiday and left Pixie with Hana. Hana is very responsive when I had any questions. Hana sent me Video and photo during his stay.

“It is obvious how much Marwa loves cats and takes great care of them. She was a lifesaver for my Felix as he is newly rescued, was sick and not neutered so I had very limited options on where to board him, but she was happy to have him as her only cat for the week I was gone. He loved her and came back a happy cat.”

“Mackenzie was wonderful and very thorough, she spent ample time with our cat babies while we were away on vacation. She was also very flexible as we booked her two days prior to our trip. 10/10 would have watch our babies again!”
“Karmelita was excellent! She stopped by and met my two girls beforehand, which made hand off easier for both them and me. I got updates on them while I was gone and I felt better knowing they were in good hands. I could tell that my girls were well taken care of when I got home. Thanks so much for your care!”
“Jazmin has been great to our 🍊s. Every visit has an update about our cats and what has been done during the visit. The pictures included gave us peace of mind as well that the cats are doing well. Most importantly, I highly recommend Jazmin because not only did she took great care of our cats, she had shown care for our home as well. Highly highly recommend and will book in the future!”
“We’ve had sitters before, but never have we seen Buddy warming up to someone this quickly. He was literally demanding belly rubs from Sara the second day! Loki, of course, loved her from the start (he loves everyone), but it was especially heartwarming to see how relaxed and happy all three of our cats were while we were away. Even Lucy, who can be… let’s say, selectively social, tolerated her presence like a true diva. Sara clearly has a natural gift with animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our furry crew was in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter!”
“Kaitlyn did a great job watching my cat for me while I was gone for a while. He was happy and healthy when I returned. I received photos twice daily when she checked in and it was great!”
“Brenda was very patient with my 2 cats, who had never been left alone before. She took care of everything and I was very happy with the service she provided. Will definitely book again if needed.”
“Maureen is an exceptional cat whisperer! She demonstrated an impressive attention to detail in caring for my beloved feline friend. Throughout my trip, I was delighted to receive numerous photos of them enjoying their time together, which truly put my mind at ease. Thanks to her, I could fully concentrate on my activities without a moment of worry.”
“Sara took great care of our kitties while we were on a weekend trip. She was very professional, caring and transparent in communication since from the beginning. I would highly recommend her and will be definitely booking her next time!”
“Merlyn was amazing, she attended to our kitty and went up and beyond to keep him entertained and happy. She is very empathetic and loving and our kitty immediately felt close to her. I am so grateful for her service and will want to work with her again soon! Thank you, Merlyn!”
“Audrey came to visit our two cats every day for a week while we were on vacation. Our girls really don't like strangers in their house and hid, but Audrey was able to find them and sent us photos every day (even if one was under a dresser). Audrey made sure they were eating and drinking daily as well as using the box and sent us status reports. We appreciate her extra effort.”
“Phoebe, my tuxedo cat, may be wary of strangers, but with Sabrina’s enchanting presence, Phoebe felt at ease. Sabrina truly excelled in caring for my cats, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.”
“I had a good experience overall with Paige. She stayed for the full hour as requested, cleaned the litter boxes, sent lots of pictures and updates, cuddled with the cats, and left the apartment tidy afterward. It was clear she cared about making the cats comfortable while I was away.”
“Whitney could not be any sweeter or more energetic, and her family could not be any more precious! Thank you for taking such great care of Molly, she had a blast staying with you guys:)”

“Shanna and Charlie are the best of all the Rover sitters we have used. They convey a genuine care for pets which really relieves the stress from leaving our little Stella with strangers. Shanna kept us updated throughout the day and sent pictures of our little princess. We knew Stella was in caring hands because she returned home happy and ate her full dinner. Shanna even knitted her a little scarf! Thanks Shanna”

“She was so caring and attentive to my dog, and I love how she keeps you updated on everything. She was very accommodating given the fact that I had to drop of my dog really early for work. Would definitely recommend, I know I’ll be going to her for my pup.”
“Hana is so sweet and such a professional! You can tell how much she cares for dogs and her knowledge is vast with dog training! Our dog, Brodie, used to go to daycare at a big facility but would always be too overstimulated. With Hana, his demeanor is way better! Would recommend her to anybody!”
“Buddy's first time and he seemed to adapt quickly. He must have enjoyed himself, not "crazy" anxious to see me. They are so caring and loving as well as keep you in the loop. We will return. Thank you Bill & Todd”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets as if they were my own. I have over 7 years of hands-on experience with both big and small dogs, including owning an Old English Sheepdog whom I regularly took on long walks, beach trips, and hikes. I’m comfortable with energetic pups who need exercise as well as senior dogs who require patience and gentle care. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and safety, and I genuinely love building trust with every pet I care for. My goal is always to make your dog feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around my pet care commitments to ensure each visit, walk, or stay gets my full attention and is never rushed. I’m organized, punctual, and make sure pets receive consistent care at the times they’re used to. I enjoy staying active, so daily walks and playtime are already a regular part of my routine. This allows me to comfortably care for both high-energy dogs who need exercise and more relaxed or senior pets who need a slower pace.
“Best communicator ever. Lots of pictures and professional with updates and site use. Flexible and accommodating with my schedule. Mika came back chill and not stressed. Will be booking again.”
“What more could you ask for! Thank you for being so welcoming and making us feel comfortable for our first rover experience. Very caring and communicative. Boba had a great time 😀”

“Paige is wonderful with my dog, who has leash anxiety. As our regular dog walker, she is always punctual and communicative. On our first visit, Paige took the time to ask thoughtful questions about his triggers, routines, allergies, treats, and do’s and don’ts before starting. She handled him calmly and patiently, making safety and positive interactions a clear priority. I really appreciated how attentive and understanding she is, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in caring, capable hands. Highly recommend!”
