Our normal cat sitter had a family emergency and canceled our reservations. Meaghan was willing to help us on short notice. She did a fantastic job. We received daily updates and pictures. We had added a bunch of extra chores for her, one of the cats needing medication as such. She even kept up with vacuuming up the tiny bits of food that can tend to be thrown around when the cats eat. We came home to relaxed kitties and a clean house. We intended to contact her first if we ever have the need. Highly recommend!

Cynthia is a real find! We were very anxious about leaving our senior cat, Stephan, but from the very first moment, we knew he was in safe hands. Cynthia was incredibly gentle and attentive to his needs as an older cat. We received regular photo updates and check-ins, which kept us completely at ease. Stephan was calm and content when we returned, and our home was left in perfect order. We will definitely be booking with Cynthia again!

About: I have owned many types of pets throughout my years. Everything from lizards to horses. I am a Certified Vet assistant and have worked in the animal health care field for years. Pet care naturally fits into my daily life because it’s already part of my routine. From morning walks to check-ins and evening wind-downs, caring for pets blends right in with my day. I’m used to planning around their needs and enjoy giving them attention, structure, and comfort along the way. It never feels like an extra task. It’s just part of my everyday life, and I make sure each pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether pets are in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions closely, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I’m big on noticing the little things. Making sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy throughout the day. I also keep pet parents updated so they can relax knowing their pet is in good hands.

I was very anxious about leaving my cat alone for the first time, but my meet and greet with Ally was so easy and comfortable I had no concerns. My cat even played with her and he doesn’t always like strangers. Would definitely book Ally again.

About: I have 6+ years in experience with dogs/cats. I have watched puppies up to elderly dogs that need some more care. Here to be your best friend’s, best friend while you’re away. I am a 24 year old full time college student. I currently living on my own. My schedule is pretty flexible and I am willing to work early mornings/ late nights. I have always had a passion for taking care of people and animals. My partner is a veterinarian technician and since being with them, my love for animals has only grown deeper. My dream one day is to have a shelter or a safe haven for dogs/ cats who don’t have homes yet. I have experience with special schedules for feeding or sleeping. I also am very familiar with meditation schedules and certain care needs. Anything the owner needs to the dog/cat, I would love to do. Walks and playtime as well, I know getting energy out can be a very important thing!

Erin was the best person to choose for the job! She is a wonderful person who took excellent care of our cats while we were away for a week. She played with them, cleaned their boxes, and maintained their feeders/waters. She was even able to get our shy cat to come out. I look forward to booking her again!

About: I’ve worked in animal care for years now and have taken care of my own pets for years before that. I have experience with a huge variety of sizes and breeds! I’m well versed in animal behavior and temperaments. I’ve worked with puppies all the way up to senior pets who may need a little extra care or attention. I have my own pets as well and have a deep understanding how much they can mean to us. I’m currently working on my certificate for dog grooming! I have yet to start school but this is a dream I’ve had for a while now. At the moment, I’m almost completely open for sitting. I think enrichment is very important for pets. For dogs, getting outside is a must. Many breeds require a lot of stimulation throughout the day in order to stay healthy in mind and body alike. For cats, some are independent players and toys are a must. Others may like to play with a person and that’s an activity that’s very important for them. I personally feed my animals once in the morning, once at night. My dog typically gets at least one walk a day and I make sure to take him out 2-3 times a day for potty breaks. Or even more if he lets me know he has to go. My one cat is an independent player so I leave her toys in her favorite places.

About: I have had pet dogs and cats my whole life, and they have always been a cherished part of my family. I currently live in a non-pet-friendly apartment building, so Rover gives me the opportunity to care for pets while I can’t have one of my own. I work at a warehouse on second shift, so I am gone in the evenings and head back home around 1am. When housesitting, I’m able to provide care to your pets during the day until I leave for work at 3:30 pm i will do my best to adhere to your normal routine with your pets, and ensure that they are exercised, fed, and pottied before I leave for work. It is my goal to adhere to your pets’ normal routine as much as possible. When I am watching someone’s pets for the first time, I request details about their schedule, eating and play habits, special quirks, etc so that I am prepared to give them consistent and attentive care.

About: I have over two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, providing compassionate, reliable care for pets of all temperaments and needs. I can assist with daily care such as walking, feeding, playtime, grooming, and cleaning, as well as advanced medical care including administering medications (pill, liquid, and injectable), feeding tube support, and subcutaneous fluids. I also previously volunteered at a humane society, where I helped socialize, feed, and care for adoptable pets. I’ve worked with everything from anxious dogs to “spicy” cats and always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a lifelong animal lover, I have been caring for pets since I was young and currently have four cats of my own—Zora, Mara, Fae, and Jinx. Caring for my own pets has strengthened my understanding of the patience, attention, and trust that pet parents value most. I would love the opportunity to provide that same level of care and compassion for your furry family members. I currently work full-time as a veterinary assistant, but I always make time to provide attentive care for your furry family members. I am typically available 4–6 days per week and keep my schedule updated regularly. If you have any specific requests or scheduling needs, feel free to message me directly—I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible! I will care for your furbabies with kindness, respect, and attention to their individual needs. I work closely with pet parents to understand each pet’s temperament, routines, and boundaries while providing a safe, stimulating, and comfortable environment. I also keep homes clean, monitor pets during walks and visits, and communicate any concerns or unusual behavior to ensure the best possible care and a trusting relationship with every client.
