“Angel has been caring for my pets for over a year. She goes above and beyond in the care she gives them, and I know they are in safe hands with her. I love the pictures she sends every day!”

“I had a fantastic experience with Melissa! She was absolutely excellent—she played with my puppy, cleaned up after him, and kept me updated with regular screenshots and messages. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. She's incredibly reliable, friendly, and clearly loves animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

“Lucy was super attentive and amazing! She went above and beyond our expectations! She was always on time for the drop-in visits and provided great care for our senior cat. We came home to a happy kitty.We highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a kind and detail-oriented pet sitter.”

About: I'm a cat sitter with tons of experience helping stressed-out cats settle in after a move. No matter what the cat is, I can connect with them. Whether they’re super independent and like their space or total lovebugs who want all the cuddles and playtime - I vibe with all kinds of cat personalities. I work from home, so I’m around most of the time and can easily keep an eye on my little visitor, take care of his needs, and give him attention whenever he needs it. I live on the third floor in a spacious apartment with secure, mesh-covered windows — totally safe for cats. They can jump around without risking breaking anything or hurting themselves. I also don’t keep available any plants that could be toxic if they decide to chew on them.
About: I have had pets my whole life. I am a certified cat lover, but dogs are the definition of joy. I love any kind of pet. If they love snuggles and pets, I’ll give them until my arm gives out. If they are a bit shy and nervous is a new space, I am happy to slowly earn their trust (my favorite way is to read aloud to get them used to my voice). I respect the warning signs of being overwhelmed and love to create a place where it becomes their home away from home so any future trips mean they acclimate to my space much easier. I work full time but I am of the mind that there is no better way to spend an evening than with a pet. If I am boarding your pet, they’d get their breakfast and some loving in before I left for work. During the day, they’d have full range of my apartment. When I return home, they’d get their dinner and the rest of the day for playing and cuddles. Any weekend day or days that I WFH, they’d get my attention all day. I have a studio apartment that has different areas for your pet to explore. I’ll make sure anything important is put away so they can get a little rambunctious (as is their right) when I’m not around. There’s plenty of floor space for playing with toys and plenty of windows to be the neighborhood watch. I provide a litter box if needed and have space for whatever you may want to bring to help your pet feel comfortable in a new space.
“Sam as always was great doing a double check-in Margaux! Great at getting her to walk keeping her happy and giving her dinner. Always my go to in my neighborhood and I highly recommend!”

“I had no worries while away from my cat knowing that Laura would be providing the best care. She is friendly, flexible, has a great sense of humor and followed all of Seymour’s care instructions. Will definitely use again. :)”

“Kaley is absolutely amazing!! We don’t have the easiest cat to care for, and she was so patient and responsive that I never felt worried while we were away for two weeks. The communication was great. I highly recommend Kaley!!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I could not have asked for a better experience. Ismail was very communicative before, throughout, and after the booking which helped with my nerves. Onion immediately took to Ismail which is a testament to his positive energy. Would recommend Ismail for any cat sitting needs!”

“Sunny was absolutely AMAZING! We felt like our cat LouLou was happy and at ease with Sunny’s visits. She did a wonderful job keeping LouLou entertained and comfortable. She provided extremely detailed cards and nice pictures with each visit. We will definitely reach out again to Sunny to take care of our baby.”

“Zoe was a great Rover! She walked and checked in on my dogs twice a day while I was gone. She was always prompt and shared photos for each drop-in. Would recommend her services!”
