“Melissa was fantastic! She treated my dog like family and kept me up to date every visit. I was very nervous about leaving my dog at home but Melissa made it easier. I will 100% request her again.”
“Cadence did a wonderful job taking care of our 14lb Havanese dog. She was punctual, communicative, took him on walks and sent frequent picture updates. We will absolutely hire her again! 5/5.”
About: Lifelong pet lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve fostered puppies, volunteered with dog shelters, and have been a cat dad for the past three years. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, including shy animals and dogs who require medication. My goal is to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away while providing you with peace of mind. I currently work full time Monday through Friday from 9-5pm. I am happy to work with your pets in the evenings or on the weekend. Safety, reliability, and communication are my priorities. I follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your cat at home or taking your dog for a walk, I’ll treat them with the same attention and care I give my own pet. I also understand the trust involved in caring for your home. I’ll treat your property with respect, follow all instructions carefully, and provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up on a farm I am very comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes. I grew up with a big and energetic yellow lab so trust me I know how to handle the zoomies! Whether I am just walking your dog, visiting with you cat, or just checking in to feed or let out, I will make sure they are loved and happy. I will send you updates and pictures of your pet/pets as frequently as you’d like! I'm currently a student with online classes so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am able to stop by your home as often as you need and can take your pet on walks frequently through the day as well. I have a backyard and there are two kittens living in the house. A very friendly and safe environment and I can also crate your dog if you want!
“Magnolia was amazing, I knew my cats would be in good care as soon as I met her. I came back from my trip to two well looked after cats and I will definitely rebook with Magnolia!”
“This was our first time using Rover! We wanted an animal lover, and we needed someone we felt we could trust like family — Emily was just that. She met our two dachshunds and our two siamese cats at our meet and greet, and we knew she was a true animal lover. For this past trip, she looked after our two siamese cats for a week and even managed to earn the approval of our very territorial female siamese (few have done — even family members). She went above and beyond giving them the attention each of them needed based on their unique personalities, and gave us updates with every visit. It was such a relief knowing Emily was looking after our kitties and we didn’t have to worry about how they were doing. We hope to book her for our next trip!”
“Moriah was such a great help to our family this past weekend! She did drop-in visits and provided long walks for our two dogs, even in the cold gloom, and gave our cat lots of snuggles. They loved her! Would use her services again :)”
“Katharyn was great. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter. She took care of the essentials and played and petted Humphrey. I hope she can come back!”
“Kaila did a great job dropping by to check on our Teddy while we were away for the day. She was extremely communicative and flexible. We appreciate the love she gave to our boy! Would definitely request her services again!”
“Meredith took wonderful care of our cats, and I’m so grateful for her help. She was very patient with everything, including dealing with a new feeder we’re still figuring out. I really appreciated her calm and caring energy with the cats. She even stayed a bit longer to help our kitten burn off some energy, which meant a lot. The sweetest surprise was that our older cat, Agustin, came to sit near her on the couch, something he almost never does! That says a lot about how comfortable he felt with her. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: *Moving out of area 7/9* As an incoming vet student at UPenn, I have 3+ years of clinical + boarding experience caring for small animals, including senior and medically complicated pets. I have experience with all breeds, ages, and personalities, and meet each pet at their comfort level with new people! I also own a horse, have several years of equine veterinary experience, and currently work at a small ruminant (goat) vet so I have experience with animals and medical treatments of many types! I’m a U of M graduate currently working part-time with a small ruminant vet, so I will have plenty of availability to play with your pets! I can provide whatever care best suits each pet, whether that be lots of walks, plenty of play time, giving meds, or simply having a companion to relax with!
“Autumn was excellent at communicating and sending photos and updates of our cat while we were gone. She followed directions perfectly and our cat was calm and happy when we got home.”
“If you're on the fence about Rover, book with Leask and look no further. I'd just moved to town and had to immediately pack it up for a work trip. Leask responded to my last-minute plea with professionalism, warmth, and a clear love for animals that lowered my guard having heard mixed reviews on Rover. During the initial visit Leask was taking notes and asking thoughtful questions. Was able to administer Gabapentin to our nervous cat (they were still adjusting after the move) too :) Thanks again Leask!”
“Elayna is great! She helped us out last minute with a drop-in and even squeezed in a quick meet and greet first. She was kind and communicative. Would definitely use Elayna as a sitter again!”
“Mengdongxue was wonderful! She clearly loves animals and took care of my two kitties very well. She was incredibly responsive to messages throughout. Would recommend!”
About: I have taken care of many different types of animals and breeds, I enjoy helping with enrichment ideas for pets and talking to them a lot. As a REALTOR®️, I have flexibility to include pets in my daily life, which uplifts me and makes me happy to help other pet owners. I am very detailed oriented. I know every pet can be incredibly different so I work with the caretaker to provide the best experience possible.
About: have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities. I’ve helped care for Golden Retrievers, Shih Tzus, Maltese dogs, and family cats by handling feeding, walks, playtime, supervision, and maintaining their routines while their owners were away. I have frequently been my family’s trusted person to care for their pets during travel periods and holidays, which has made me even more responsible, attentive, and comfortable caring for animals with different needs. My schedule allows me flexibility for pet care throughout the week, especially during my available daytime hours, evenings, and weekends depending on my schedule. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I understand that trust is incredibly important when someone is caring for your pet. I always value clear instructions, respect each pet’s unique routine, and do my best to create a calm, comfortable environment so both pets and owners feel at ease. My goal is to make the experience feel safe, simple, and reassuring while providing reliable, attentive care.

Molly recently checked in on my cats while I was traveling. She took good care of my cats and followed the instructions I provided. She was communicative and sent updates for each visit, which I always appreciate. My cats were well cared for while I was away and I’ll contact Molly again for future drop-ins!
Thank you Richard, Sasha, and Charlie for taking extra good care of our Velcro cat. We had total peace of mind while traveling out of the country, and Richard was a quick communicator even with our time difference. Our kitty looked super happy in the photos we received from them. We highly recommend booking with these guys :)
Kayden was very good at communicating everything about his visits to Ginny and made sure to give her lots of love and attention while he was with her. He gave us a detailed account of each visit: how she seemed to be doing, what he did for her while he was there, etc. From the photos, I would say she really liked having him around.
Sean was absolutely fantastic while caring for our cat and home during our vacation. His communication was phenomenal; he consistently kept us updated with messages and photos, and it was very clear how attentive and caring he was with Kitty. She is a very social, affectionate cat, and Sean spent time playing with her and giving her attention, which meant a lot to us. He also went above and beyond with household care by bringing in the mail, taking out the trash, and following all instructions carefully and thoughtfully. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was checking on both Kitty and the house each day. I would absolutely recommend Sean to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring sitter. We do not travel often, but whenever we do, Sean will absolutely be our first choice if he is available.
I had Maeson take care of my cat for an extended period of time while I was traveling. This was the first time I have left my cat for this long and having Maeson take care of him was such a blessing! She sends lots of pictures, played with him as much as his heart desires, and sent detailed updates. I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about my cat because I knew he was in good hands. I would highly recommend Maeson!
