“Lyndsay was very responsive, friendly, and easy to work with for drop in visits with my cat. I came home to a very content and happy pet and I would definitely book with her again!”
“Lisa did a wonderful job taking care of our menagerie—sheep, chickens and outdoor cats. She even made friends with the cats, who are very shy. I think they are missing her! We appreciated Lisa’s updates and photos, too. It felt great to know that everything was in good hands.”
“Jeanette took great care of our puppy, who needed a little extra care post-spay. She was careful to follow our instructions and we’re so glad to find a qualified and trustworthy pet sitter ☺️”
“We had never hired a pet-sitter before, and we were nervous about leaving our cats home while I had to take a 3-day business trip. One of our cats is shy around other people and has weird eating habits. Zane set our minds at ease. She visited with us first and got to know the cats, then she gave us update photos/videos and comments with every visit. She was patient and kind and really took the time to earn our shy cat's trust. We would absolutely hire her again in the future.”
“Morgan was great! She had great communication and genuinely cared for my pet. She took great care of Holly and Holly loved her! I will definitely choose Morgan again!”
“We really appriciated Sara and Carol taking such great care of our kitty cat. Will 100% use them again. They are so knowledgeable about animals and kind. They were also flexible when we needed it so that was super. Thank you both!”
“Another successful experience with Jamie. She made sure our kitty was taken care of during our absence and her daily and detailed updates gave us the peace of mind that we needed.”
About: I've grown up with cats my whole life. I currently have a 13 year old tabby named Charlie. I have watched several cats, dogs, and even chicken over the last two decades. I am very passionate about animal advocacy. I previously worked at NOAH Animal Shelter and Brigadoon Service Dogs. I miss working with animals every day. I currently work full time but will be cutting back my day job hours starting mid September. This will allow me to be more available for my pet clients. My husband and I are renting so unfortunately we can't host pets at our home. I'm more than happy to check in on your animals and/or house sit at your residence.
“Karlee has checked in on my cat a couple times now. She has excellent communication and follows instructions. I know my little furball is in great hands with her!! Highly recommended.”
“Could not be happier with the services provided by Jennifer. She gave us daily updates with photos of our kitties. Very responsive to our texts and questions. She even swept and vacuumed our apartment before we got back! Look forward to hiring Jennifer again in the future.”
“Karolina has been a lifesaver for us this summer. She is very responsive, always sends photos, and is willing to go the distance (figurative and literally—we live pretty far off the beaten path). She took the time to get to know our kitty. I was surprised when Klaire, who is shy, was on Karolina’s lap by the third visit. Thank you, Karolina!”
“Roxanne was fantastic, an excellent petsitter and housesitter. She communicated frequently with us, including lots of pictures and videos, and really spent a lot of time with our cat and kept her company. She also took great care of the house, including emptying the dishwasher, taking out the garbage, bringing in delivered packages and doing the laundry. We could not ask for a better person to share our house and take care of our cat while we were away. Highly recommended!!”
“Katya did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty for 9 days, letting us know when she stopped by every evening, made sure we were on schedule to arrive home when planned, and offered to help with things like putting our recycling out. Most importantly, we came home to a healthy and happy kitty who had obviously gotten some love and attention when we were gone. Thank you Katya!”
About: I've had dogs, cats, and a variety of other pets my whole life! I grew up with three German Shepards and two Savannah cats, along with lizards, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, and more. You're pets will be in loving, experienced hands! Im currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet(s). My schedule may vary as I travel and head back to college. I will likely not be able to offer my services once summer comes to a close due to College. Although I'm here limited I promise to cherish and give your pet(s) what they need. Drop in visits: I will drop in periodically to check in on your pet(s). This consists of letting them use the restroom, playing with them, feeding, and cleaning up if need be. I will ask clients any specific information about what all needs done during these visits. Walking: I will walk your pet(s) around the neighborhood or near by parks. Clean up after your pet(s) and I will provide water for them as well.
About: I am 24 years old with a 2 year old baby girl and a 1 year old baby boy. I have plenty of experience caring for my own and others pets, And I was previously active on rover before having my daughter and son! I can accept medium to low energy pups only! And your animals do have to be children friendly! I'm an exhausted mom and I'd love to be able to continue to help my family financially while also still being stay at home with our daughter! I have veterinary experience from back when I was in school (about a years worth of college studies/hands on work). I would always recommend when bringing your pups over to bring comfort items that remind them of home so they can continue to stay as comfortable as possible during their stay with us. So excited to be back on this app! I’m completely home all the time and have the whole day to spend and attend to your pups needs and wants. Potty times are always available and food schedules are planned out and separated for their comfort. I have a fenced backyard (the front is not but pups wont be let out front) and 3 cats that are primarily outdoor. They get fed 2 times a day separate from any other dogs or animals that we have come in.
About: Hi, I'm Zora and I'm a graduating senior at Mount Vernon High School. I am a dedicated student, leadership volunteer, and teacher aide at a preschool. I have a cat and a small dog and I love taking care of pets! I can stay at your house or just drop by when needed, and I can walk smaller dogs or calmer large dogs - I'm just not strong enough to handle super big dogs. I am very calm and gentle and I volunteered at the NOAH animal shelter for years with both dogs and cats. I love animals and my goal is to make them feel comfortable and safe when they are in my care. I am currently in full time school so my schedule will open up June 14th, and then I’ll have lots of availability to fit your needs. I do not offer boarding, but I have a dog friendly car so I can take them for a hike or a visit to the park if you are comfortable. I will spend as much time as I can with your pets to ensure they feel loved, comfortable, and happy when they are in my care. I am gentle and patient and will not force affection on animals who aren’t enthusiastic about it.

Skye was amazing with our fur babies, she fed and snuggled them, and even took video calls from us so we could talk to our dogs! If she had a question regarding our pets she would give us a call or text to verify her understanding before making her next move. Overall Skye was amazing!! We highly recommend her.”
