“They did a great job keeping the place clean and taking care of my two cats. I got daily pictures/videos and could tell they did well bonding with the boys too. Will definitely reach out again for help! Thanks so much!”

“Emma was fabulous in taking care of my boys! She was even able to get my stubborn kitty to take more of his meds than I could, no small feat. She was great about providing updates and following complex care instructions.”

“Dasher was happy to have a friend when I was out of town. Elizabeth is very reliable and I never hesitate to leave my cat if she’s going to be coming by.”

“Catie took amazing care of our sweet puppy, Emmer. She is super reliable, does an incredible job and has a nice calm energy. We're so happy to have found her.”

“I am so glad I booked Sarah!! She's super easy to work with, and my two cats LOVED her. I have a particularly shy guy and he was in her lap from the beginning. So grateful that they had Sarah around while we were away. Highly recommend!”

“Ciara was super responsive and helpful when I needed a new cat sitter on really short notice! She wanted to know absolutely everything abt my cat's routine to make him as comfortable as possible while I was gone, and he loved her so much even though he's often pretty skittish around new people. I got lots of photos and detailed reports every day, she was really attentive to his behavior and making sure he was okay, and overall was just fantastic!”

“Kelsey did such an amazing job with our cat! Like most cats he needs a little time to warm up and she was so patient with him. He was loving all the playtime he got and by the end even crawled into her lap for attention. Her updates and pictures were detailed and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing our cat was happy, healthy, and enjoying time with Kelsey. The next time we need a sitter we'll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Kate was very professional and did a fantastic job with our anxious dog. She showed up right on time for multiple visits and took our dog on a nice walk. She made sure he was appropriately fed and taken care of. We'll be asking her to watch our dog again!”

“Bri did a fantastic job caring for our cats while we were away! She was even able to pill our very shy and stubborn feral cat (twice!), which is no easy feat. And our other cat clearly enjoyed her company. We’ll definitely plan to hire Bri again next time we’re out of town and she’s available.”

About: I have hands-on experience from working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’ve also provided regular dog walking, in-home sitting, and medication support for friends and family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior dog with special needs, I’m confident, patient, and ready to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve! As a pre-med student at D’Youville University, I am available only on weekends Friday to Sunday. During these days, I am flexible with my hours and can accommodate varying schedules. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home—even when you’re not. Whether it’s feeding, meds, walks, or just some good company, I’m there to give them the care and attention they’re used to. I’ll keep you updated along the way, so you always know how they’re doing. My goal? Happy tails, comfy naps, and peace of mind for you.
“Ariana took care of our cat for a week while we were away. Travelling is always a bit stressful cause our cat is a bit anxious to be alone. Ariana has been absolutely kind and professional. The communication was excellent, a lot of pictures and messages kept me posted everyday. I truly appreciated it. Ariana makes sure to give cuddles, play, and is also caring for the place to be clean. We will call her again, for sure! 😊 Thank you for everything.”
“Jenna is literally the best sitter we've ever had <3. She took care of our cat Scrunchie for a week and we'll definitely rebook her in the future. She was super thorough, sent detailed updates during every visit, and took a ton of pics and really cute videos that we loved. Our cat is very picky about humans and she absolutely LOVED Jenna! Can't say enough great things about her -- Jenna is the best!!”


“Morgan was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond to make sure my fur baby was happy and comfortable when I was away! Morgan stayed in constant communication with me while I was away giving my daily updates on my baby as well as adorable pictures. When I came home my house was exactly as I had left it! I told Morgan to keep my house key as I will definitely be using her again (and soon)!! The peace of mind you gave me was priceless Morgan, thanks again!!”

“Courtney is amazing!!! Sierra did really well with Courtney during her visits. She responded quickly to our requests, kept us informed throughout the visits, worked with Sierra's training during her walk, and made sure she was fed. We're grateful she accepted the booking with short notice during our family Xmas visit. Really recommend her if you're looking for an expert sitter.”


“Alyssa was so amazing with my fur babies. She sent daily photos and was extremely communicative. Also cleaned up behind them when they were being a bit naughty (knocked over plants lol) Ultimately, I came home to a clean litter box and extremely happy kittens. I am certain they will miss her and I intend to rebook with Alyssa in the future.”

“It was a wonderful experience to have Lana look over our three cats. She very quickly became friends with all three even two that are normally very reserved with new people. She went above and beyond with live updates, photos and videos. Made me feel totally happy that the fellas were in good hands while we were away. Would ? recommend Lana to anyone needing Roger services. I totally love this app/service and how it can connect you with people like Lana who are so good with our furry friends. ?”

About: Hi! I’m Katy! I am a veterinary assistant working at McClelland Small Animal Hospital, and I’m pet sitting not only due to my love of animals, but to use the extra funds to help pay for my dream wedding! I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’m so fortunate to be able to help care for others' pets every day. I will love and treat your critters like they are my own, as taking care of animals is truly my passion. I currently work full time at an animal hospital and own 3 dogs, 2 cats, a crab, and even a jumping spider, so pet care is truly second nature to me. When I’m entrusted in caring for your pet and your home, I will be there all night and in the morning before I head into work. I will check on them during my lunch hour so they can have a potty break, lunch (if needed), play time, cuddles, and plenty of attention, before I'm back with them right after my work day. I'm always incredibly respectful of my clients homes, ensuring things are just as neat and tidy (if not more so) than they were when I arrived. Mail will be brought in, trash taken out, and bed linens cleaned. You're on a vacation, why worry about cleaning up when you get home?! The animal hospital I work for has a boarding facility for dogs and cats. When I’m not caring for others pets at work, I’m tending to my menagerie at home! As the owner of pets who have trouble being removed from their “safe space,” you can rest easy knowing that your pets will receive plenty of love and care in the place they feel the most comfortable. During a meet and greet, I come prepared with an information sheet to fill out so that I can make sure I cater to each pets specific needs. Everything from feeding times, food sensitivities, and jotting down your pets favorite toys and activities!
“It was so reassuring to know my dog was in such good hands while I was away! Caitlin gave detailed daily updates and was flexible around some unexpected tummy trouble. I highly recommend working with Caitlin!”

Daniela was reliable, communicative, and kind. She provided our 3 cats with consistency and entertainment while we were away! and got even our most skittish cat to feel comfortable and look forward to her visits. Thank you so much - would book again without hesitation!

Elisabeth was absolutely incredible at taking care of our cat. I didn't have to worry for a second while we were on vacation because I knew he was in good hands. She sent lots of pictures and clear feedback and even wrote us an endearing note about her time with our boy. Absolutely would use her services again and again.

Celeste was communicative, reliable, and flexible when my plane was delayed and I got home later than expected. Two of my dogs are seniors and they can be a little extra work, which Celeste was very kind about. She sent pictures and even mopped the kitchen floor which I was not expecting. Most importantly, my dogs were happy and safe when I camd home. Thank you Celeste!

Nick watched our cats 🐈 🐈 over the holidays. Very grateful to have someone so kind and respectful of our home checking in on them! Would definitely recommend Nick! He was very responsive and was even kind enough to water our plants 🪴 (which was a huge help).
