Elena was very diligent, and all our three cats were left happy and fed :) She was communicating all the time, and we were left with complete confidence that our three furballs are in good hands.

Minjee is an absolute gem! From the moment she met my cats, Patico and Marisco, it was clear they were in the best hands. They warmed up to her almost instantly—which says a lot, specially with Marisco, that can be shy at first! She didn’t just feed them and clean their litter; she genuinely cared for them, showering them with love, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. What truly set her apart was her attention to detail and excellent communication. She sent me daily updates with adorable pictures and thorough notes about their behavior, moods, and any little quirks I should know about. It was so reassuring to see how happy and relaxed they were while I was away. If you’re looking for a cat sitter who treats your pets like her own, goes above and beyond, and keeps you informed every step of the way, look no further. Patico and Marisco already miss her, and I’ll definitely be booking her again! 10/10, highly recommend!

Joleen is such a sweet human and pet sitter! She goes above and beyond to care for the animals she watches over. She swept up litter and cleaned out Jack’s wet food dish everyday! She played with Jack and was respectful in our home! Jack can throw a fit and poop outside his box when we leave and she was so sweet in taking care of his temper tantrums! She was thoughtful enough to bring in our Amazon packages as well! Defintiely would rebook with Joleen

About: Hi! I’ve spent most of my professional life working in animal care, which has given me a strong foundation in understanding animal behavior, health, and daily routines. I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, including administering medications, following special care instructions, and supporting pets with different personalities and needs. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I treat every cat and dog as if they’re my own, and I always strive to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether you’re traveling, working, or out for the day, you can relax knowing your pet is in loving, knowledgeable hands. I’ll keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you can enjoy your time away worry-free. Please reach out with any questions :) Right now, I’m not working a separate job, which means I have very open and flexible availability. I’m able to accommodate morning, daytime, evening and last-minute requests whenever possible. Because my schedule is flexible, I can give your pet plenty of time, attention, and consistency rather than rushing in and out. My goal is to fit my care around your pet’s needs and routine. I follow all care instructions closely—feeding, meds, exercise, and special needs—so your pet’s routine stays normal. I prioritize safety by securing doors and gates, using proper leashes or harnesses, and keeping spaces clean and hazard-free. I handle pets calmly, watch for any behavior or health changes, and send regular updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy.

About: Hi y’all! My name is Valeria :) I have 4+ years of dog walking, and pet caretaking. I started a small dog walking business 4 years ago, but only for family and friends. I am currently a veterinary technician, and have 1 dog of my own; Barry! Though he’s a small chihuahua/italian greyhound, he definitely acts like the opposite! I can care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, though I am small. I also am able to administer any medications needed, for senior dogs, adult dogs, and even puppies :). Please feel free to reach out, and thank you so much for reading this ⭐️ I’m currently working part-time, but I also am a student. I am available most weekdays in the afternoon for walks, and always take my clients for longer walks any time on Sundays! :) I do live in an apartment, but my balcony is closed off at all times. The potty area is just next to the stairs leading up to my apartment, so it won’t be a whole hike to go potty :)

If I could give 10 stars to Dana Chloe, I would! She is a wonderful communicator, very responsible, has each pet's welfare in mind in everything she does. She is holistically, minded and reliable. Never once did I worry while we were away. She is loving and kind and thoughtful--everything you could ever want in a pet sitter and more! We would be thrilled to have her back!

Dani is the best sitter a cat mom can ask for. She took amazing care of our two boy cats, letting the shy one get accustomed to her at his own pace and making sure the naughty one didn’t make our house too messy. Will definitely book again!

We can’t thank Jasmine enough for the incredible care she gave our cat, Leo, while we were away. She went above and beyond—sending thoughtful updates, giving plenty of affection, and making sure every detail was taken care of. We came home to a very content cat, and that peace of mind is priceless. We wholeheartedly recommend Jasmine to anyone looking for a truly caring sitter. We will definitely call Jasmine the next time we’re out of town to take care of our Leo.

About: I have genuine love for animals, I’ve been surrounded by animals big and small, from a horse to a tiny dwarf bunny. I’ve taken care of newborn puppies and kitties, as well as a newborn foal (horse). I’m currently in school for my master’s program and live at home. I have an outdoor kitty I take care of and occasionally dog-sit for my friend when she’s traveling. I have time to cater to new pets and have a couple days off throughout the week with extra time on my hands! I took in my neighborhood stray cat, she was only 4 weeks old and ended up in my garden. She prefers the outdoors but will come inside when she feels. I have her bed, scratch post, and feeding bowl on the porch and she sleeps there daily. For my friends I take their dogs on a walk for exercise and keep them entertained inside the home with toys.

Jerry was amazing with my feline beasts. She has excellent communication, provided me with videos and pics with each visit along with a brief summary of the visit. I am so happy to have found someone who cares for my felines as if they were her own. My cats required medicine and are not the cuddly pair. But Jerri was able to build a connection. I'm so appreciative of how well she took care of my animals and hm.

Katherine took excellent care of my cats for approximately three weeks through drop-in visits. She is incredibly supportive, accommodating, and helpful. Her dedication to the pets is evident in her willingness to go above and beyond to resolve my litter robot sensor issues. Her exceptional skills are evident in her ability to perfectly fit the trash bags into the litter robot can. I highly recommend her services!

About: I have about two years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve helped take care of my brother’s cat, including feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’ve also assisted my nani (grandmother) by caring for her dog and cat during visits, helping with walks, feeding, and general daily care. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to help with pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins on weekdays after 6 PM, and I’m open on weekends as well. I make sure I have enough time to give pets proper attention and care. I follow all care instructions closely to ensure pets feel safe and secure in their home environment. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and behavior cues, and I always make sure pets are supervised, calm, and comfortable. I respect pet parents’ homes and communicate clearly if any concerns come up.

About: I take care of more than just dogs and cats. Any guinea pigs, rabbits and birds are welcome too! There is a second story to the house for smaller animals like the above and for cats. Downstairs and the backyard is for boarding dogs. I can care for all sizes of dogs! Fulfilling pet care services for pet parents is currently my full-time job! I offer: dog walks; drop in services for feeding & other petcare needs; sitting in your home; boarding in my home upon scheduling. I have 2 locations to board dogs, both locations are within a mile of one another. I try to make it as homely for the pet as possible. If they would like to follow me around the house that is acceptable if they are potty trained. I garden in the backyard and they are more than welcome to join me outside! Many potty breaks for the puppers! Cats will stay on the second floor along with any small (non-K9) pets.

I wanted Juejin again for my second time thought I somehow searching in the wrong place. However I was able to book her for a 2nd time. I would certainly keep her as a permanent sitter, however her area will be changing. Her new location area will be getting a very valued and dependable person for drop-in visits. I recommend her highly.

Jen has watched our cats a couple of times now, and we trust her completely. Even for quick drop-in visits, she’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Each of our cats has a different personality, and Jen is attentive to all of them making sure everyone is fed, safe, and getting individual attention. We came home to relaxed, well cared for cats and a clean space, which says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!

Dani was so great! As a first time Rover user she made me feel comfortable with the well being of my cats and sent very detailed updates and so many cute photos! My cats seemed to get along well with her as well and were much calmer while we were gone. We will definitely pick her again next time we travel!

Nola is fantastic! This was my second time having her look after my cats and she was great. Very responsive and competent. I was very nervous because one of my cats is an extreme escape artist but Nola managed to keep her inside during all of the visits which was such a huge relief. Highly recommend!!

This is the second time we’ve used Raeyna but the first time we’ve left our cats for more than a couple days. I am admittedly a crazy cat mom and was a bit nervous. Raeyna did a great job responding to my texts promptly and sent me pictures of both cats which helped put me at ease. This was greatly appreciated since one of my cats is fearful of strangers. Raeyna eventually earned her trust and even played with her! Everything was in order when we returned and our kitties came to greet us immediately. Thank you for taking good care of our kitties and putting up with an anxious cat mom!
