“Matt stayed with our two cats and administered insulin to our oldest cat Mojo despite some challenges with Mojo being uncooperative. Matt was good at communicating any issues and seeking help. He cared for our house very well and left it clean and in good shape. I would recommend Matt.”
“Grace was so good with our cat, Guppy. She was always on time and followed the instructions we gave her perfectly. Guppy loves to play until he's out of breath, and Grace sent us pictures showing with him panting from the fun time he had. We'd definitely recommend booking with Grace, and we plan to again next time we have to leave town.”
“Tanya did a great job caring for our two cats while we were away for a weekend!! She was very communicative and friendly and followed all the instructions I had written up. :)”
“Catherine is wonderful! My skittish kitty warmed up to her right away, likely because she has so much experience with animals of all kinds that she's great at waiting for the cat to feel comfortable enough to come to her. She sent great photos and updates; I was so happy to find her!”
“Jessica was wonderful with my cats, left daily updates and photos and the house is in nice condition upon returning! She was very communicative and it was easy to schedule a meet and greet before the week began. I would definitely hire her again :-)”
“Lily was absolutely amazing! She took care of my two cats, Dice and Button, while I was away on vacation and truly went above and beyond. From the very first visit, she was communicative, reliable, and incredibly caring. She made sure both cats were well-fed, safe, and happy, and even spent extra time giving them attention and affection. Dice is usually shy, but under Lily’s care, he quickly warmed up and started following her around, which says a lot about how comfortable she made them feel. She also kept me updated every day with sweet notes and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I came back to happy, well-cared-for cats and a tidy home. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you, Lily! I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and dedicated pet sitter.”
About: I have experience working with many different animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and even cattle. I love spending time with animals and currently working as a veterinary assistant at a small animal clinic. I have lots of experience pet sitting and dog walking and also have experience working around livestock so no dog is too big! Walking your dog will be of great enjoyment for both myself and your pet and I will work to create a bond between me and your pet so that we both make the most of our time. I can’t wait to work with you and your fur baby! I work full time at a small animal clinic so pet sitting and dog walking is something I do on the side so I can spend more time with animals! If possible I like to meet dogs for the first time with their owner around to lower their stress and slightly away from their home if possible (particularly if they are known to be protective of their homes).
“I have zero complaints. All the reviews about Josh are accurate and true. I found him to be kind, respectful, enthusiastic and treated my cat with the utmost of care. Check in reports were detailed with great pictures. Glad to have found him!”
“Athena took great care of my furry boys! They were alive and well when I returned, and my house was in great condition. She fed them, provided one of them with their meds, and changed the water & litter box as needed (theyre both automatic). She cleaned up the occasional cat hairballs which I was grateful for. She sent me pictures when I asked. Would absolutely hire her again!”
“Jessica was a huge help and gave me such peace of mind while I was away knowing the kitties were well cared for! Her updates made it easy to enjoy time away without worrying. Thanks again!!!”
“Mary was very responsive, and obviously a big cat person. She texted me photos of my cat looking extremely happy and relaxed, by which I could tell he felt very comfortable with her. All in all, I was very grateful to have found her, and happy with her help.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for 15 years, and dog walked, cat sat, and housesat for various friends and neighbors, as well as grown up with cats and dogs. I’m currently in college with pretty open early mornings and afternoons, as well as free weekends. While my class schedule is not flexible, most afternoons and evenings are as I am primarily doing homework. I love going on walks and would love to take your dogs into north woods or around campus if they like people/ crowds! I follow house rules and will ensure that in my care your pets do to. I am comfortable crating dogs and keeping cats to allowed spaces. Additionally I know everyone has different routines and will adapt to make your pet most comfortable and follow what works for your household.
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, from my grandparents tiny poms to my own boxers, I love getting to know each pups personality. I'm also fairly active and frequently go on nature walks and hikes, so a buddy would be lovely :) During the weekdays I'm usually working until the afternoon, but my schedule is fairly flexible. On weekends I'm usually free for drop in visits, walks, or overnight stays. I'll make sure to stay hyper-vigilant of your pups wants and needs while they're in my care! I'm a very attentive and adaptable person, and I understand some pups take some warming up to. I can promise you my utmost patience and understanding.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my entire life. In my home growing up I had two big dogs and a cat. I cared for neighbors animals often whenever they traveled. I’m adept in training dogs and dog behavior. After moving from home I dearly missed my animals and started to volunteer at a rescue center near me five times a week. I’m currently in graduate school online, studying to be an elementary school teacher! I’m doing practical work at schools nearby part time. But ever since moving out of my home I miss the pet life. I volunteer often at a rescue shelter near me! Often I take dogs home for an enrichment vacation from the shelter! Taking care of dogs is something I make time for, because it’s something I genuinely love and enjoy. I have no pets myself so I offer a comfortable quiet environment for your beloved fur baby! I have a lovely yard just waiting for sniffs. It’s not fenced in but is surround by woods and I plan to fence eventually. There are also so many wonderful walking paths near me.
“I highly recommend Thomas as a rover sitter. My two cats were cared for like they were his own and I have never been so at ease when away from them. Thomas’s communication is excellent. In arranging pet sitting dates, discussing pet and household needs, coordinating timing of visits, providing rover card updates, videos, and pictures - he exceeded all expectations. Feeding, cleanliness, monitoring cat health were all done with excellence and dedication. Even with these needs met, I often feel guilty leaving them and worry about them not having enough play or attention. Thomas kept them so entertained that that fear went away for the very first time. I have a cat with special needs and Thomas was so attentive to him and thoughtful in how he played with him and cared for him. I was touched that Thomas was engaged with my cats enough to develop a solid understanding of their personalities and have fun with them. His updates regularly made me laugh. I am so grateful he was the one to take care of my cats. To anyone else considering him as their rover, I expect that if you book him you will feel the same.”
“Star excellent, even when coming in at such short notice for us. Followed all instructions, sent regular updates, and kept us informed in all the goings on. We are incredibly grateful for the help.”
“Journey was great with my kitty! I especially appreciated that they sent me really good details about what they did during their visit and how my cat seemed to be doing (plus photos!) It made me feel confident that my cat was in good hands.”

“Sadie B. is as solid as they come when it comes to caring for critters. She took care of our two giant cats and our feisty old chihuahua with just the right mix of firm hand and kind heart. Sadie’s got a knack for knowing when a pet needs a bit of fun, some good company, or just a quiet moment to unwind. She’s sharp about special diets and food needs too. Whether she’s keeping them entertained or gently guiding them, Sadie’s got it handled. If you’re looking for someone who truly respects and knows how to handle your animals, Sadie’s the one you can count on.”

Sarah R.
“Sarah is phenomenal with dogs. She is the most caring person, and she loves all dogs with an immense passion. She will take amazing care of the pets and they will surely become as obsessed with her as she is with them. I could think of no one better than Sarah for this job as caregiver and the dogs will be lucky to have her.”
