“Abby is the best. She took such great care of our pets. And they loved her. The pictures were great. And she kept us up to date on everything. I absolutely love Abby.”


“I can’t say enough great things about Audrey, our amazing pet sitter for Coco! From the very beginning, Audrey has been reliable, punctual, and incredibly responsive whenever I need to get in touch. She follows all of my instructions with care and attention to detail. What really sets Audrey apart is how engaged and loving she is with Coco. She takes the time to play with her and makes sure she feels comfortable and happy. I especially appreciate the daily photo updates and notes about Coco’s activities—it's so important when I'm away. Audrey is truly a gem, and I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust completely with my pet. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and attentive caregiver.”

“We have two geriatric cats, both of which are on meds and have special needs matching their special personalities. Amy has a background as a vet tech and is also an empathetic pet person. She competently dealt with the challenges that they presented, and kept us well-informed of her progress, and theirs. She is the best cat sitter we have ever had, and I feel lucky to have found her.”

About: I have been dogsitting for +8 years for friends, family members and dear Rover clients. You will read from some testimonials that I can be trustworthy with their pet(s), so much so that they have referred me to other friends and families. I work full-time near downtown 10-6 on Tuesdays-Fridays and from home Mondays, however there is flexibility throughout the week. I have evenings and weekends generally open to care for your pet with my full attention! I usually care for pets in the comfort of their home! At this time, I, unfortunately, cannot host pets in my home - though this may change at a later time.

“Erica was super communicative and made sure Enzo was taken care of while I was away. I really appreciate her spending time with him and making sure things were taken care of while I was away :) will definitely use her again :)”


“Chloe was great for dropping in a couple times while we were out of town for a day. She even made it through some heavy snow to let them out! Our dogs both really liked her and she was fine with some last minute special instructions which we appreciated.”


“Marie did a fantastic job with Snippet and Milky Way. She played with them both every day when visiting, and she was very communicative both before and during her stay.”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of reliability, patience, and hands-on experience with a wide range of pets. I have worked with energetic puppies who need consistent training and structure, as well as senior dogs who require extra gentleness, attention, and care. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific routines, and adjusting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Beyond basic care, I bring strong communication skills—I keep owners updated so they feel confident their pets are happy and safe. My background working with animals in different settings has made me adaptable, attentive, and proactive, whether that means reinforcing good habits with puppies, providing comfort for older pets, or managing groups of dogs. I currently work at a pet care facility, so caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. Outside of my shifts, I’m available to provide pet sitting and drop-in visits, which allows me to stay flexible while continuing to do something I love. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, playtime, and medication instructions exactly as provided, and I make sure to give extra attention to their favorite spots and habits—whether that’s a window perch, a certain toy, or a bedtime routine. I keep the home tidy, refresh food and water regularly, and make sure the litter box (or yard for dogs) is clean and comfortable. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel connected while they’re away.

“Quinn did a wonderful job watching our cats this weekend. She sent great photo updates, and handled our feeding/visit instructions perfectly. She even came for an extra visit when our trip ran long!”


“Emily was so awesome! She was super responsive, and took care of everything for our 4 cats while we were away. I felt so comforted knowing she was checking on them and making sure they had everything they needed. She sent us pictures and updates which was really nice. Also really appreciate that Emily accepted our booking on short notice during the Holidays - she is a life saver. We will definitely be doing this again!”
