About: I work from home 5 days a week which will allow your dog to get constant attention and love. Having cared for my own dog I understand how difficult it is to leave with someone else. I currently work from home 5 days a week and will be able to attend to your dogs needs. I can take them out for plenty of potty breaks. Since I work from home your dog will get plenty of attention. I live in a very dog friendly community that is great for walks. I will always keep your dog on a secure leash whenever outdoors.
About: From fostering dogs to working at a wildlife rehab, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I bring patience, reliability, and attentive care to every pet. I work from home in Animal Control Administration, so your pet will have my full attention all day. I am available nights, weekends, and holidays. My home is quiet with no other cats or dogs, making it a calm, stress-free space. I treat every pet like my own, giving them plenty of love and attention. In your home, I’ll follow their usual routines — feeding, walks, play, and snuggles — so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Jessica took great care of my two cats while I was away for the weekend. She gave them lots of play and affection, kept them well fed and watered, and kept the litter box clean. She even left a homemade cat toy for them!”
“Caleigh was amazing, and was really proactive about sending updates and photos. It was so great knowing my cats were safe and happy the entire time I was away! I would definitely request her again the next time I need a cat sitter :)”

Watchung cat parents share their Rover experiences
Sheila took wonderful care of our cats for a little over two weeks, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She is incredibly meticulous, genuinely loves animals, and went above and beyond what was required to make sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She also kept an eye on our home and alerted us to a water leak in time, which we truly appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing both our cats and our home were in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommended.
Maria was a wonderful sitter for our cat Mary! We had total piece of mind on our trip. It was clear from the updates and pictures that Mary found a new friend and was totally content and comfortable with Maria! She's incredibly kind and responsive and we will definitely use her again in the future!
Chelsea took amazing care of my cat. She made sure to follow the special instructions I left and took lots of cute photos of my girl. I also really appreciated the updates she gave me every day. Chelsea made me feel good about leaving my cat at home while I went on a trip. Thanks Chelsea!
