Provided top notch care for a last minute request! She communicated so well and we felt so up to date with our cats while on vacation! We would love for her to care for our cats again!

Kim was so easy to work with - she responds to messages very quickly, sent written and picture updates, and had a simple set-up for key drop off and pick up. I could tell my cat was very well cared for while I was gone!

Absolutely fantastic experience with Mandi and delighted she was able to take our booking. Mandi came for a meet-and-greet in advance of the booking to review details and get acquainted with our home, our cat, and his care. He was much more relaxed and comfortable when we returned than when we've picked him up from boarding in the past; at his advanced age, that means so much! We're looking forward to our next booking with Mandi!

Mandy is so easy to communicate with and always responsive! She is very caring and attentive. I really enjoyed reading the Rover card every day, and I’m glad to see that she built such a wonderful friendship with my cat. I also have to emphasize—Mandy is a great photographer! Many of the photos she took are cute enough to be portraits (I secretly saved some of them🤭).

Yvonne’s a great pet sitter. She is super responsive and goes the extra mile with my cat. My cat has asthma and required a daily inhaler dose. Yvonne was kind and patient to provide my cat with her daily inhaler. When my auto feeder failed, she stayed back to help to reset it so my cat didn’t starve. She also provided me with daily update. When I came home, my cat was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend her because she truly cares about pets! I would totally rebook her.

Sidney is very understanding and patient with our nervous and reactive pup. Halla isn’t the easiest dog, he needs a sitter who will give him time, space and lots of treats but also he needs strict boundaries and discipline. We are so happy to have found Sidney!

About: I’ve cared for cats for 3 years and have been a devoted parent to a monk parakeet and guinea pigs and two orange cats. Since childhood, I’ve looked after hamsters, gaining experience with different animal personalities and needs. Friends and family know me as a kind and loving pet sitter they can trust to provide attentive care, from feeding and cleaning to playtime and companionship. I’m a full-time employee, but my schedule is flexible. I’m available on weekends, as well as before 9 a.m. and after 5 p.m. on weekdays for pet care. I don’t have any plants in my home, providing a calm and safe space for your pet. This allows me to give them my full attention, keep the environment clean, and ensure their comfort and security while you’re away.

About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs of all ages, including seniors. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, grooming, medication administration, playtime, and providing calm, emotionally attentive care. I work full time as a store manager, which gives me some flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for morning and evening drop-in visits, and I can often accommodate midday visits during my lunch break. For overnight stays or extended house sitting, I’m very flexible with advance notice and happy to work with you to meet your pet’s needs. I’m also comfortable staying in your home to provide consistent, attentive care while you’re away. I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, walk routines, and household rules carefully. I’m very attentive to pets’ emotional needs and body language and always prioritize keeping them calm, comfortable, and safe. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and aim to provide consistent, familiar care to reduce stress. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and companionship, along with regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own.

Isabel was the greatest! We are so lucky to have found her- especially since it was less than 24 hour notice. She sent awesome photos and our puppy got all his wiggles out walking and playing with her. She really goes the extra mile to form not only a connection with our puppy, but also us as owners. I highly recommend working with Isabel, and hope we get the chance to work with her again soon (and so does our pup!)!

We were so lucky to have Claire as our cat sitter! She took such wonderful care of Artemis and always kept us updated with photos and messages. It was clear how much she truly cared about him, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Artemis would have been so lonely without her. We're so grateful for everything and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible sitter!
