Maria did a great job caring for Blu and Leo during her stay. She was attentive, communicative, and patient, especially with Blu’s crate training. I appreciated how smoothly the evening went and how she kept me updated throughout the night. I’d happily have her sit for my pets again!

Bill was absolutely outstanding. He stayed at our place while we’re out of the country for a little over a week. He took incredible care of our two golden retrievers and sent many updates and pictures of them. He was prompt and took great care of our house while we were away. We will definitely be booking Bill again for his services!

We really appreciate how well Ryan cared for our labradoodle and our home during two weeks that we were away. He communicated regularly and we found both the dog and our house in great shape on our return. He is trustworthy, attentive to detail and really “cared for” our fur baby. Thank you Ryan!

Shannon stayed with our three cats while we were in England for a week -- it was reassuring to know she was in the house keeping an eye on them (and everything else)! Kept the cats happy, left the house clean, and sent nice updates with pictures. Great cat-sitter!

Kristen was absolutely amazing caring for my diabetic, blind dog. She went above and beyond to meet every one of her unique needs, and her communication throughout was exceptional. I always felt informed and at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a more attentive, compassionate caregiver. Highly recommend!

Jasmine was so attentive and communicative when caring for our old lady, Nike. Jasmine followed directions and made sure that not only our dog was looked after but also our home. Jasmine is truly a caregiver at heart and this makes for a great Rover friend, who sends many photo updates and knows how to manage animals.

We’ve used Nikki’s pet sitting services several times now. Nikki always takes such good care of our dog Georgie. He’s older and requires a bit of extra care and Nikki is always there to help accommodate his needs. We appreciate how attentive she is and makes sure Georgie has everything he needs while we’re away. Her updates always include the cutest photos and great recaps of what their day was like. 10/10 - Would recommend Nikki to anyone!

Anthony is a wonderful sitter. He arrived precisely on time and listened carefully to our instructions regarding. our special needs dog, Norma. Anthony texted photos and reassured us that Norma had taken her medication. When we got home, we were pleasantly surprised to find her relaxed and comfortable, something she doesn't always exhibit even with us. We're glad we found Anthony and look forward to having him care for Norma in the future.

About: Hello, I’m Kay, a veterinary technician with 8 years of experience offering professional in-home drop-in care. With nearly a decade in veterinary medicine, I bring both compassion and clinical expertise to every visit. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. Over the past 8 years, I have gained extensive experience administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, as well as supporting pets with chronic conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, and arthritis. Beyond medical care, I closely monitor for changes in appetite, hydration, behavior, or mobility—subtle details that can be especially important for pets with ongoing health needs. During drop-in visits, I can provide:     •    Feeding and fresh water refills     •    Litter box cleaning or basic waste removal     •    Medication administration (oral, topical, injectable)     •    Chronic condition support and monitoring     •    General wellness checks (hydration, appetite, comfort level)     •    Visit reports with notes and photos for your reassurance In addition, I am trained to recognize early signs of distress and respond appropriately in urgent situations. If an emergency arises, I can provide immediate first aid and ensure your pet receives prompt veterinary attention. Every animal I care for is treated with the same respect and attention I would give my own. Whether your pet is a healthy, playful companion or one who requires a bit of extra medical support, you can trust that I’ll bring reliability, knowledge, and compassion to every visit. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I’m able to provide consistent, reliable visits throughout the week. I build my schedule around my clients’ needs, making sure every pet gets attention, medication, and care exactly when they need it. I provide attentive, personalized care in your pet’s familiar environment. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter box or waste cleanup, play and enrichment, medication administration, and monitoring for any changes in health or behavior. I treat every pet with the same compassion and professionalism I would my own, and I provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

I am so grateful for Darcy. She took care of my cat Carter for a week just 8 days after he had surgery. She spent hours hanging out with him, taught him relaxation techniques, and found inventive ways to get him to eat while he was on an antibiotic that zapped his appetite.

We always look forward to when Dana stays over! The babies (2 dogs, 1 cat) get all the TLC, play time, snuggles, snacks and relaxation time and we come back to a spotless house and very happy fur babies. Dana is our go-to in-house pet sitter for over a year and we're looking forward to his next visit in a few weeks!

Maria did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs in our home. She kept us updated with photos and messages, but she also was able to manage unexpected issues on her own, like when one of the pups got an upset stomach. Maria kept the house tidy, and she even went above and beyond by brushing the dogs teeth. We definitely hope to continue working with Maria in the future!

Shannon did an amazing job with Rocco. He is a very anxious and nervous dog, and she was very patient with him. It was so nice to be able to travel without stressing about him. I even came home to clean laundry, which was so nice! I highly recommend Shannon - she is very caring and an obvious pet lover!

Kristen is a seriously dreamy A++ Rover sitter. I would love to hire her again! Communication was super smooth and easy. She took excellent care of our dog and was game to take a different dog that I normally care for on her usual walk. Turns out that wasn’t needed but I so appreciate her willingness to help me out in that way. The doggie photos she sent were so good as well. Book her now before her calendar is full.
