“Paula has a lot of experience and really knows how to handle things smartly, so I trust her. I’d feel totally comfortable leaving my beloved cat with her. I was lucky to find Paula on Rover, and from now on, she’ll always be the one I trust with my cat.”
About: I grew up with dogs in my home, and when I became a teacher over 10 years ago, I began dog walking and pet sitting for others, too, over my summer break. I have cared for dogs with a variety of needs, including high energy puppies, animals with anxiety, and elderly animals with mobility issues. As a teacher with summers off, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend as much time with your pets as is needed. We will have plenty of time for long walks, play sessions, and belly scratches. I will ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved in your home, even when you’re away. I will stick to whatever routine you’ve already established, treating your pet and your home with just as much care as you do.

About: I’m a dog parent to a 1-year-7-month-old Corgi, so I know how important it is to trust someone with your pup. I have hands-on experience with crate training, leash walking, and keeping up with energetic dogs. I’m also patient and attentive with seniors or pets who need extra care. Your pet will be treated like family—because I wouldn’t settle for anything less either! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine since I work from home—and so does my husband! Our flexible schedules mean your pet will get plenty of attention, love, and timely care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some company, we’re around to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on comfort, safety, and keeping their routine consistent. At my home, dogs have plenty of space to play—including a fully fenced backyard where they can safely roam and get their energy out. Plus, they’ll have a friendly Corgi companion if they’re social! In a client’s home, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely, giving them the love and attention they’re used to.

About: I had a maltipoo who I cared for for 13 years so I am confident in caring for pups like her. I’ve also had to dog-sit some friends’ dogs who’d I bring for walks, play in the yard, and fill food and water bowls for them while gone! I generally work 3 days a week so I am looking to care and walk dogs for a couple other days during my week to fill my days. I will make sure to close all doors that I have entered and make sure the dog is back in the house before leaving. I will make sure I put everything back to where they were and fill any bowls that I am instructed to make sure the dogs are comfortable until their owners or next person comes to see them!
“Last week was the first time I had Andrew watch my two boys and boy am I happy that I picked him…and so are the boys! Andrew did a wonder job! He spent extra time with my cats and sent detailed updates with pics every day. He made me very secure in the knowledge that my boys were being well cared for. I look forward to having Andrew take care of my boys in the future!”
About: I love pets and ever since I was little I was obsessed with them. I have watched over bunnies, hamsters, birds, and cats. But my favorite one of them all is my dog.

Your dog can sleep wherever they want and however they like it if they are potty trained. If not I would appreciate if a crate is brought along with the dog.

What I truly enjoy is building a connection with each cat I care for, taking the time to understand their unique quirks and needs. My approach is always gentle and patient, aiming to make your cat feel safe and well-loved.

Katherine Z.
“Kate has been our first choice when we needed a dog sitter for over 10 years. We have used her service on several occasions, most often when we vacation during the summer months and had to leave our dogs alone for extended periods of time. During the times we were absent from home, she stayed in communication with us on a regular basis, sent us many photos and videos of our dogs, and texted us regularly with updates. She has always eliminated the stress of leaving the dogs and house behind for long periods of time. Most importantly, Kate is trustworthy, and our dogs love her. We would be happy to provide personal references upon request.”

It was a pleasure for us to have Yong back. Certain that she was in safe hands, we left our kitten for 10 days. It was very difficult for us to be away, but we saw Ariel react with affection to Yong. He was precise, responsible, attentive to hygiene, and affectionate. We are satisfied with his work!
Delaney was amazing! She was so friendly, reliable, and clearly cares about animals. She kept me updated with photos and my cats warmed up to her so quickly. She even went the extra mile to clean their food mat and offered to take out our trash so the house wouldn’t smell when we got home. I came back to happy, relaxed pets and everything spotless. 10/10 would recommend — she’s the best!
The best cat sitter we have had! She really got to know the cats and accommodate their moods and make sure they were well fed and loved. She kept us updated with amazing info and details. We missed out cats so much, but Victoria was the best with communication and pictures (even for our shy cat). You can definitely trust and rely on Victoria!!!!!! Thank you!
While I was away, Tania took amazing care of my Doberman and Chihuahua. She was incredibly informative, kept me in the loop the entire time, and made being away from my dogs so much easier. She sent updates with pictures and videos, which was not only helpful but also super cute and reassuring.Both of my dogs were comfortable and clearly well cared for I could tell they were happy and relaxed with her. Tania treated them like her own and handled them with so much patience and love. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her again!
Last week was the first time I had Andrew watch my two boys and boy am I happy that I picked him…and so are the boys! Andrew did a wonder job! He spent extra time with my cats and sent detailed updates with pics every day. He made me very secure in the knowledge that my boys were being well cared for. I look forward to having Andrew take care of my boys in the future!
We had the pleasure of having Melissa care for our miniature poodle, Sabana, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She was attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring throughout the entire time. Melissa listened to all of our personal requests and followed through on them perfectly—from playtime to potty breaks and everything in between. It was clear that she treated our puppy as if she were her own, and we truly appreciated her going above and beyond to ensure our pup felt comfortable, safe, and happy during her drop-ins. We would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Don’t hesitate to request her—you’ll be glad you did!
Martha was a big help to us while we had to go out of the country for a last minute family emergency. She took great care of Max and was so sweet and patient with him. We really appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Thank you so much, Martha. It really means a lot to us. We would definitely trust her with Max again!
Rivera is the absolute best! She made sure to keep me updated the entire time and gave my sweet pup so much love. You can tell the genuine care she has for pets. It's truly the little things. I will be booking with her from here on out! Wish I could give a thousand stars ⭐️
