“Stephanie was incredible! She took care of our cat Sara so well, including helping with Sara’s medical needs. She was very communicative, always on time, and very easy to work with. I highly recommend her catsitting services!”
“I booked with Megan for check-ins for my three cats over the holidays and she was amazing! From the meet and greet to her notes and pictures, she was professional and attentive. She went above and beyond providing care for my pets. After a few other lukewarm Rover experiences, I was so happy to find Megan.”
“Maddie warmed up to Lee immediately and was a happy dog. We loved the pictures Lee sent as well. Lee, thank you so much for accommodating Maddie’s special needs with her injured leg”
“Brooke is an awesome cat sitter! She was communicative and attentive from the first time we contacted her. She took the time to play with our cat and send us pictures which really put as at ease while we were gone. Would absolutely hire her again! Thank you, Brooke!”
“Jessica was AMAZING! We had to book with her last minute and she was so eager and flexible to help out and was so good to our elderly dog- it provided so much peace of mind while we were away. We will be booking with her again next time we have to be out of town! Truly, thank you so much, Jessica! :)”
“Clare was right on time, communicative and took great care of my cat while I was gone. By the end of the visits, my cat felt comfortable enough to do a little leg rub!!! Would bring ok again!”
“Mandy has such a wonderful way with my cats. One of them is quite demanding, and she works to meet his needs. When he was hissy and agitated (over something that was not her fault) she even made an extra trip to my house to make sure he was OK, later. My cats demand walks outside and she knows how to walk cats! I really appreciate her help when I am away from home, and the pictures and reports that she sends daily. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Took excellent care of my senior cat + sent lots of sweet photos of him. My cat is very sensitive about visitors but it is obvious from the pictures that he warmed up to Tanner after only a couple of visits.”
“Veronica was awesome. She took care of Lunita and his space for several days while we were out of the country. She even bought him treats because he was running low! I’ll definitely work with Veronica again 💛”
About: I’ve recently started taking care of pets in my community after losing my lovely dog, Layla, to cancer. Doing so has been healing in ways that I could not have imagined!! I am so excited to continue this journey of love, support and healing. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I work in office during the week, but close enough to home to allow the pups restroom breaks throughout the day. And of course, spending the evenings playing and snuggling with the doggos. My weekends are free to spend all the time with them. I follow the instructions form the caregiver and also listen to what each pet is telling me. I provide a calm yet playful attitude so that everyone feels comfortable.
“Melinda is our go-to sitter. She is thorough, exceptionally reliable, gives the best reports of any sitter we've ever had, and most importantly - our cats love her!”
“Dena is great with our 9 month old lab puppy. She regularly checks in with him and takes him on walks around the neighborhood. She is flexible, responsible and dependable - she’s our go-to person! Rocky adores her and we have no complaints. Highly recommend!”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs since I was in high school. Over the years, I have helped friends, neighbors, and family members by dog sitting, walking, feeding, and playing with their pets while they were away. I’m very patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s needs and personality. I enjoy spending time outdoors for walks, making sure dogs get exercise, attention, and lots of care. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I’m available to care for pets every day after 4 PM on weekdays and I’m available for the full day on weekends. Pet care fits well into my routine because I enjoy spending my free time walking, playing, and giving attention to dogs. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, or dog sitting during these times and will make sure your pet gets plenty of care and exercise. I live in a clean and pet-friendly apartment located close to a park, which is perfect for dog walks and outdoor playtime. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and supervised while in my care. I also have my own car, so I can easily transport pets if needed, whether it’s for a park visit, vet appointment, or emergency. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and caring environment where pets feel happy and secure.
“Absolutely amazing sitter. Nikki was very sweet and attentive and took great care of Hermes like he was her own. She also reinforced his current training and I came back to a very happy boy! I can’t thank you enough!”
“Kris has been great with our very excitable and wiggly pitty mix. She follows instructions and our dog has been happy and well cared for when we get home. She's restoring our trust in the system after a few disappointing experiences with past dog sitters. We will be rebooking with Kris as long as she is available and willing to do it!”

Maura was an exceptional sitter. She was always updating us on how our babies were doing and taking pictures of them as well. This was our first time leaving them alone and knowing she was watching them made everything better. I highly recommend her and we will be booking future visits when another trip comes up!
Vincent took great care of Fudge and Stealthy Culprit for 2 weeks. He was responsive and kept in touch. I was worried that they were bored as they usually have access to outside when I'm home. He was understanding of this and tried to get them to play when he was there. Fudge also has had issues with stones in his bladder, vincent had experience of this with his cats so that was reassuring and he knew what to look out for.
Courtney has been a stellar sitter and a great person to work with. Our cats are elderlies and Milo need his medications daily. Courtney took care of him and was very patient with our requests during the course of the trip. Thanks for being a great person and sitter, Courtney! Looking forward to work with you again in the future
Always feel good about my older dog’s care with she’s with Brandi! She’s slowing down and has some behavior things and Brandi took care to check in about her walking needs and take her on a gentle walk at her own pace. Definitely trust Brandi for my pet care needs!
Ashley got us out of a pinch at the last minute and over a holiday weekend to boot. She gave excellent care to our cats who were having GI problems after a round of antibiotics. She was very vigilant and gave us detailed reports so we could monitor them from afar. We were able to relax and take a badly needed getaway thanks to her care for our cats.
Loved having Katherine as our cat sitter! She was super patient and gentle with our shy cat, Sweets. Katherine was very conscientious of all of the kitty care details and was communicative throughout the process. Plus, I loved the photos and detailed updates she sent while we were away. Sweets and I are looking forward to working with her in the future!
Katie, thank you for going above and beyond with looking out for not only our two cats, but our house (leaky coffee pot clean up 🙏🏻)! You send such detailed updates and caring messages about our cats every time you watch them- we appreciate you, and so do they!
