Darwin was excellent - consistent, thorough, highly communicative, and respectful. From the outset, they came prepared with treats, poop bags, and care questions, which made me feel that my cat was in good hands. Throughout the week, they carefully adhered to my cat's routine, including the daily administering of medication, and followed up with thorough care cards/reports. They even went above-and-beyond to scrub my cat's litter scoop. Most importantly, they were very patient and gentle in building trust with my apprehensive kitty, who warmed up to pets and cuddles within a matter of days. I came home to a content cat and a clean home. I would absolutely recommend Darwin to any pet parent!

About: I'm that friend who tells you "don't scold him, teach him with love and rewards what you want from him" how do I know it works? Because from my adolescence I began to be interested in my furry friends, I have done some research that has contributed a lot to me to relate to them in a better way. I hope to generate an extraordinary relationship with your furry friends. I combine pet care with my part-time job in the following way: - MORNINGS AND MID-DAY: I am available Monday through Wednesday and Saturdays starting at 8:30 AM for walks or drop-in visits, making sure to finish on time to head to my other job. - FULL DAYS: Thursdays and Fridays are my days off, so I have open availability at any time. - PUNCTUALITY: My job is just 10 minutes away from my home, so my schedule is perfectly calculated to never be late for your pets or my work shifts. For me, the safety and peace of mind of the owner are the top priorities. When caring for a pet in the client's home or during a walk, I strictly follow these guidelines: - IN THE CLIENT'S HOME: Upon arrival and departure, I make sure all doors and access points are perfectly secured to prevent escapes. I respect the client's home by maintaining cleanliness, ensuring the pet's area (food, water, and litter box/bowls) is spotless, and putting away any objects that could be hazardous to them. - DURING WALKS: I never walk dogs off-leash; the leash remains secure at all times. I maintain an alert attitude toward the surroundings to avoid tense interactions with other animals or loud noises that might scare them. - COMMUNICATION AND ROUTINES: I fully respect the owner's instructions regarding food portions, schedules, and routines. Upon completing the service, I will always send the mandatory Rover card/report; however, if requested by the client, I am more than happy to send additional photos and messages during the visit for extra peace of mind.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a love for pets of all kinds. Growing up, I cared for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, turtles, and more, which gave me an appreciation for each animal’s unique personality and needs. Over the years, I’ve regularly pet sat for friends and family ensuring the loved ones received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, sticking to a routine, or simply providing companionship, I enjoy helping pets feel comfortable and cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m currently on a career break and based at home for the summer before heading abroad again later this year. This gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for consistent, reliable pet care. I’m used to being adaptable from long-term travel, and I enjoy having structure and responsibility in my day-to-day routine. Pet sitting fits perfectly into this chapter by giving me a meaningful way to stay active, grounded, and local while doing something I genuinely enjoy. Because my schedule isn’t tied to a traditional job at the moment, I’m able to prioritize drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays, and give pets my full attention while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent, calm, and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, litter box care, medication if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, whether they’re social and playful or more independent and shy, and I adjust my approach so they feel safe and comfortable with me in their space. I always move at the pet’s pace and focus on building trust rather than forcing interaction. In addition to direct pet care, I keep the home tidy and respectful: cleaning up after pets, refreshing water, maintaining litter boxes, and leaving the space as I found it. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

Maddy is wonderful! She took detailed notes about Maisie’s care when we met and I could tell she cares deeply about the pets she works with. She also shared lots of pictures and helpful notes about her drop in visits. I’ve already booked with Maddy again and plan to continue working with her in the future.

About: Hi there! My name is Lauren and I love all fur babies big and small! I have been an animal lover all my life and enjoy spending time with them as much as I can. Ever since I was a young teen, I have been an avid dog walker in my neighborhood, trying to make some extra cash but also getting to spend time with dogs as I did not have my own. Since then, I have been cat sitting for the last 5 years for my family and friends when they go out of town. In most recent years, I have been dog sitting for my coworkers on the weekends. Many of my coworkers have dogs and bring them to our pet friendly office. I have become quite popular with the dogs at the office as I love to take them out and play fetch in the grass space outside. I work Monday - Thursday until 4:30 pm but I am home by 5 pm. Fridays, I am available after 12 pm. I also have open availability on the weekends. I have 2 cats of my own who enjoy their own company, but I am very happy to pet sit in your own home if you are comfortable! I will guarantee that your pet is safe when outdoors whether that be on a leash or within the safety of a fenced yard.

Our girl just loved Amber! Followed her around the house, enjoyed Beauty Shop, and loved snuggles. When we got home, she woke up looked at me for a minute and just went back to sleep, like she was thinking “why are you here and where is Amber?” Amber followed all our instructions, with feeding, water, and litter box. We did not have to worry about a thing. We loved the photos and daily updates on how things were going.

Irene was the perfect sitter for my little babies! She has a very calming demeanor that my cats warmed up to immediately! As for the quality of care, not only did she perform all of the basic tasks like emptying the litter box, food, water, etc., but she also did great administering medications to one of my babies (which included pills, oral liquid medication, and eardrops). She was always on time and left the home as she found it. As for communication, she left detailed updates about each of the visits and included multiple photos in each card. I would 100% recommend!

Went above and beyond to care for our cat. Stopped by an extra time without us asking to make sure our cat was alright after not seeing her during their previous visits. Our house was making a loud beeping that was likely disturbing our cat and this prompted Jerome to stop by an extra time. Really appreciated his genuine concern.
