Arianna was great with my 3 cats! She sent plenty of photos from the drop-in visits. She helped me out on short notice and was super easy to get in contact with. She even stopped by my house to meet my cats before my trip away from home and instantly connected with my fur babies. Definitely gave me some piece of mind knowing they were in good hands over my weekend away. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone needing some extra help with their cats!

Annaliese has checked in on our very shy kitty a couple times - she is one of the few people Lola will come out for. Great communication and detailed report cards. Awesome sitter all around :)

Was able to come a check in on my baby last minute before the storm! I got stuck out of the country and was not going to be home when I thought and she made sure he was okay. Thank you so much. A life saver!

About: Hello! My name is Brittany and I would love to help you out with your loyal companion. I have a husky of my own and we love to be outside hiking and exploring. I am comfortable with dogs of any shape and size. If you’re looking for someone to give your fur friend a little exercise, or to just hang out, I am your girl! I live in an area with multiple dog parks, open areas for your dog to run or relax and bodies of water if your dog loves to swim! I am always open to suggestions and love learning about new dogs and breeds. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, I would love to hear them! Thank you so much for considering me to help out with your lovable fur family member! I currently work full time throughout the week so weekends are my free time to explore the city and help take care of your furry friend! I have a few fenced in dog areas and my own furry friend to keep yours company. I am willing to crate your dog if needed and am also willing to work with you to keep your dog comfortable!

About: I’ve been raising dogs since i was a child. I’ve had 4 dogs throughout my life. Out of the most recent 2, one was a senior with heart problems so i have much experience with older dogs and giving medicine if necessary. My other dog is a rescue, i’ve raised since she was 3 months old. In addition to behavioral classes i took with her, i’ve potty trained, crate trained and trained her to have basic skills myself. I’ve raised most of my dogs (there was one adult rescue) from puppy to senior years so i hold much experience with dogs in these age ranges. I can care for dogs that are of all skill levels and ages. My dog and i are able to adapt to any energy level your pup may be at and will always care for them as if they are my own. I currently work full-time but luckily I am hybrid. I work in office Mon, Tues, and Thurs. Otherwise, I will normally always be with your pet unless i must go out and run errands. However, i also love to take my dog wherever i go as long as i know i’m making a quick stop, so if your dog loves car rides we will be together most of their stay. During 2025 holidays i will be at home full time until 1/4/26 I have one sweet puppy who loves other dogs and will gladly welcome them into the home. i tend to keep the house pretty tidy so my dogs can’t get into anything. If there’s anything specific your fur baby needs to avoid let me know. Lastly, i have a camera in my home to watch my puppy if i’m away and as my client i can provide footage of their stay to keep you at comfort.

Melissa was super helpful checking in on our cat, Chicky! We ended up making Thanksgiving plans closer to the actual holiday, and had to book a Rover on shorter notice than usual. Melissa was super responsive when we initially reached out, and communicative throughout our trip. She was very thoughtful when thinking of ways to help make Chicky less lonely while we were away. We highly recommend Melissa! 😊

About: I've been around dogs and cats my whole life, so they're basically like family to me! I love everything from training playful pups and cuddling kittens to handling the everyday stuff like feeding, grooming, and fun playtime. I've got a knack for dealing with all sorts of personalities and breeds, and I'm super patient and excited about it. Whether it's giving meds, catching early signs they're under the weather, or just showering them with love, I'll make sure your furry friends feel totally happy, safe, and spoiled when I'm around. I've got a full-time job from 9 to 5, but since I'm fully remote, I've got tons of flexibility to be there for your pets whenever they need me. That means I can almost always be around for sitting gigs, and I'm happy to work right from your place while keeping an eye on your furry pals. Whether it's morning strolls, afternoon walks, or full-day hangs, I'm your go-to for making sure they're happy and well-cared for! For boarding at my home, it's a cozy, pet-friendly condo setup (no fenced yard), so we'll focus on indoor fun, neighborhood walks, cuddles, and sticking to their routine for feeding, meds, and breaks. I do not have any pets of my own so all my attention would be on your fur baby! Safety, fun, and your instructions come first—with positive vibes and tailored love for any special needs!

Alicia was communicative and punctual with her visit. My cat gets lonely on his own, and she sent me pictures of him looking very happy having some playtime and a belly rub (his favorite). She adhered to the instructions I left for her and she was caring and attentive. I came home to a happy cat and that makes me happy! I have already booked Alicia for a future visit and I can enjoy my vacation knowing my cat will be well taken care of.

We had to change our cat sitter recently and connected with Tiffany & Steve as an option to watch our cat Coco for the foreseeable future. They were great! Professional, responsive, and clearly have top tier experience dealing with animals. Coco usually takes some time to warm up to new people, but the first day they stopped over she immediately was comfortable around them! Will be booking them for all our pet sitter needs.
