This was my first time using Rebecca and she was wonderful! She fed my cats, scooped the litter, gave regular photo updates, and kept everything very clean and tidy. She was very reliable and communicative - would definitely use her again!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember I’m able to groom, walk and care for your loved ones but a skill that sets me aside from other caregivers is the fact that I can read body language and have a better understanding of how your dog is feeling and what they may need from me. pet hair fits into my routine because I spend most of my time at home, caring for my cats and the animals that I have but it gets to a certain point where I have extra time and they don’t need me as much because I have already set in stone the things that they need and I could be giving that time to other animals that need caregivers I care for pets in your home by listening to what you tell me that your dog or cat needs and going by that and if there’s a time where I feel like your cat or dog will benefit from something more checking in with you as the parent and acting accidentally!

Everytime we need to go out of town we use Melanie to take care of our fur babies. She always does such an amazing job and goes above and beyond for them. She always spends quality time with them and even plays with them too. It's such a peace of mind knowing they are taken care of while we are gone. I will always choose to use Melanie if she is available.

About: From a young age I always loved animals. It started with a turtle which quickly became cats and dogs as I got older. I don’t believe in abusing anything, so I wouldn’t ever allow any animal to be abused in any way, shape or form. They are precious. I’m currently about to start working a job that allows me to be part time so I have free time on my hands to care for any dog or cat necessary. I do have a backyard and there’s a dog park close that allows me to walk on a daily basis . I follow any and all routines needed.

I booked Kordell--my first Rover ever--over the Thanksgiving holiday after learning that my usual kennel was booked. He was very responsive, reliable, and took good care of my cat. Kordell put both me and my cat at ease. I will definitely be re-booking him in the future.

About: I’ve had pets most of my life. I cared for my rescue dog Saebee for seven years, and now I have a cat named Popper, who I’ve had for three years. I’m home for the summer, a part-time student as well, and available between noon and 5pm on weekdays to care for and play with your pets. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get enough exercise and playtime, and feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to their behavior and body language so I can respond to their needs.

About: I have taken care of my own pets since I was 13 and have trained them myself, and if you ask any body in my family they would probably tell you that they are spoiled. I have also helped family members take care of puppies and kittens; helping with feedings, cleaning, potty training, etc. So, that they could find forever homes. I am currently a freshman in college and my class load is fairly easy and flexible giving me ample time to focus on your pet. I am a stickler for rules and following instructions, so however you want me to look after your pet and the boundaries set; I will follow exactly how you want as the pet owner.

About: When I was 15, I had my first puppy named Marshmallow, a very handsome grey & white Shih Tzu. Since then, I've had this massive love for pets. I have babysat my friends and family dogs, including a pitbull, a golden doodle, a cat, a labrador, a pomeranian, and a disabled terrier. I will take care of them with lots of love & compassion. I can guarantee great on-time care for them. I'm a full-time student in college looking for a part-time job that smoothly fits into my week. Also, creating my own schedule is something that comes in handy on busy school days. I would take your dog on long & lovely walks, keep them well-fed, work on possibly getting them to new tricks & make sure things stay clean.

Chanell was a wonderful sitter for our dog. Our dog took to her right away (which was a relief as he can be choosy about his friends) and she let him warm up and get to know her. She sent photos during her drop in and updates on her arrival before the stop over as well. We will definitely book with Chanell again in the future.

Sharmily is an excellent sitter! She is very reliable and doesn’t skimp on the updates and photos. Communication and handing off keys was also super easy both times I booked with her! My cat likes her a lot and she is a huge comfort to both of us when I am out of town. I will continue to book Sharmily when I need kitty coverage in the future, and would recommend her services to any cat mom/dad!

Natalie is truly a VIP cat sitter. She consistently goes above and beyond to make sure Pierre is not only cared for, but genuinely comfortable, happy, and loved while I’m away. She spends quality time with him, follows every instruction carefully, keeps me updated, and always makes sure he’s well fed and well taken care of. She is hands down the best cat sitter I’ve ever had, and I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing, trustworthy, and attentive person to care for their pets.

I highly recommend Mickela for your pet sitting needs. She was able to fill a super last min need for drop-ins on my two kitties while I was away for a few days. She responded quickly and was able to meet me at short notice. She was very sweet and the boys took to her immediately. She was great about cleaning up their messes (including a puke surprise left by one of them lol). This was the first time I booked a sitter to do daily drop-ins and I’m so glad I reached out to Mickela. She was such a huge help. 🤗
