Sara was wonderful. She helped us out last minute and was super patient with our anxious dog. She worked with him each time to get more comfortable with each other that by the end, he didn’t even bark at her. We’re super grateful for her kindness and communication.

Brenda did an awesome job looking after my two cats, notoriously shy, she got them to hang out and play! I already asked her to do another drop-in, she’s super reliable and the cats seemed very happy with how much time she spent with them!

About: In addition to caring for my own lovely cat and senior pup, I have pet sat for friends and family members regularly for the past 10+ years. I have experience with fur babies with a range of quirks, behaviors, and medical needs, so I am prepared for anything that comes my way. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for critters, especially during the upcoming summer break! I am very careful and safety-conscious, so you can be sure I will leave your home secure and comfortable for your pets when I visit.

Tara took care off my girl very well while I was on vacation. She is a long haired Persian cat that needs extra care such as eye cleaning and hair brushing and Tara did an excellent job with it. She was very communicative and sent a lot of detailed info and photos to ease my worries. I highly recommend Tara to all pet parents.

About: I am a dependable and compassionate pet sitter and dog walker with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet like family. I have experience working with reactive and anxious dogs and understand the patience, awareness, and calm approach they often need. I pay close attention to body language, safety, and each dog’s individual comfort level to help them feel secure and cared for. I currently have a cocker spaniel and love to walk and play with him. I know how important consistency, exercise, affection, and communication are when someone else is caring for your pet. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, companionship, or extra patience and attention, I will provide reliable, loving care and treat them as if they were my own. I am a teacher and have summers off. I have full availability to care (walks and check-ins) for your pet during the week or weekend. I would love to get on a schedule if you need one for consistent work. I am looking for jobs that will get my active and outside. Whether that is playing with your pet inside your home or taking them for long walks around your neighborhood/in a destination of your choosing.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for nearly my entire life. My responsible instincts and passionate attitude have made me a reliable pet sitter for friends, neighbors, and family. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds and I love them all! I know how much our furry friends matter, which is why I always take the owner into consideration when communicating care for your companion. I’m currently working remotely which leaves me plenty of time to care for your critter during the week. I am also available most weekends. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so I can stay with your pet for as long as you need. I respect all the care instructions of the owner while using my own background knowledge to make up for the rest. I have experience crate training and potty training. I know the importance of routine for dogs which is why I am consistent and thoughtful in my approach, while remaining flexible to the needs of your pet.

It was a pleasure working with Michael! This was my first experience on Rover and he made it a great one. Michael not only medicated, fed, and played with with my moody cat, but he also sent adorable photos and detailed updates to ease my mind during my travel. I will definitely call him again (and you should too)!

I live in a fenced yard with plenty of space for your furry friends to run around. My home is quiet, and there's always someone around to be with your pet.

Sara was the best cat sitter i could have booked. She was super patient with my cats especially our skiddish girl. The fact she took time to give each cat attention which is difficult since all of them are attention hogs. She left detailed reports and lots of pictures of our fur babies.If i need another sitter im definitely having her come back if shes available

We feel very fortunate to have found Jill! One of the things we appreciated right away is that she lives in our neighborhood, which made scheduling and communication very convenient. From the moment she came over for the meet-and-greet, it was obvious that she was completely comfortable with both cats and dogs. She asked thoughtful questions, took the time to get to know our pets, and immediately inspired confidence. Jill has cared for our pets twice now, including one visit with our Golden Retriever in addition to our cats. She took excellent care of everyone, sent regular, detailed updates with plenty of photos, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We also appreciated the little things, like noticing and closing windows that had been left open before we left. We are already planning to book Jill again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter.

Mari seems so nice! You know when you look at a person & can just tell they’re genuinely a good human-being? That’s how I felt about Mari & what made me feel comfortable choosing a fellow dog-lover who is intuitive, patient & understanding. She had clear communication, was supportive of mine & Maggie’s needs, & followed everything exactly how I requested. Mari did such a great job dealing w/ our 1yr old Labrador who is nervous around strangers. I highly recommend Mari & would love to have her help again in the future. Thanks for being there for us when we needed you!

Karmelita was a true godsend for our two cats. It was great having someone check on the two boys and ensuring they were okay. She provided great photos of them and gave them much needed play. Overall I feel my cats did well under her care, vs the unattended check in my neighbors previously did. I will definitely consider booking Karmelita in the future.

Wow! Emily is the best sitter I’ve had in a long time. I booked her for a long visit, and was so nervous to be away from my cat. But Emily gave me reassurances by sending me photos and updates on my cats behavior. It’s a really good sign that my shy but loving kitty warmed up to her so quickly, and was even waiting for her by the window on their last visit! Emily also took care of my plants, which was so essential too. I would 10/10 hire her for your pet sitting needs, I will surely be doing the same next time I need a sitter ❤️
