“Charlie is very kind and was super attentive to my cats and their needs! You can automatically tell he really loves animals and wants to give them the best care possible. He will be my go-to cat sitter from here on out! :)”


“Josh came 3x/week for 2 years to let our dogs out while we were at work. He’s very reliable, takes good care of the pups and takes great pictures. Our dog Maggie even seemed to miss him on a week that we didn’t need him. Would highly recommend him to anyone needing a quality, reliable dog sitter! We’ve moved to a new town and we’re going to have a hard time finding someone to fill his shoes. Thanks for all you’ve done Josh!”

“Maya’s first ever Rover experience with Lisha has been amazing! Lisha goes above and beyond to make sure she is comfortable, well cared for, and happy :) Lisha takes lots of photos and videos, checks in, and is overall a great communicator. We look forward to more weekends with her services.”


“Scott is an incredible cat-sitter for my cat Stanley. He treats him as his own pet and always impresses me with his in-depth cat knowledge. On top of that Scott goes above and beyond to take care of my home while I’m away. I truly trust him to do a fantastic job making sure Stanley is loved while I’m out of town. Would wholeheartedly recommend Scott”

About: My name is Sarah and I'm a dog lover. I work full time as a nurse and on my days off I like to be active and go on walks or hikes. I'm excited for the weather to get warmer and for the flowers to start blooming. I love to throw the frisbee or playing tug-of-war. I am also happy to sit on the floor and watch TV or study while my new furry friend takes a nap. I have experience with overnight housesits and also cats if you ever need additional feline care. I currently have two cats of my own. I love to explore new neighborhoods and local parks on foot with a new furry companion. Message me with any questions that you may have!

“Courtney has been absolutely amazing in taking care of my cat during my travels, ensuring he is well-fed, happy, and pampered with attention. The photos she sends me are heartwarming and give me peace of mind, knowing my Chewy is in the best hands ☺️”
