“Lidia was the best pet sitter! She is so thorough, attentive, and thoughtful. She made sure my senior cat was very well taken care of! I found out the day before I had to leave that my cat has hyperthyroidism so I was worried about leaving him, but Lidia’s updates were very in-depth and made me feel confident and comfortable in his care. She will definitely be our go-to pet sitter from now on!”

“Kaylyn was an awesome cat sitter. She kept us in the loop while we were gone and did such a great job looking after our kiddo! We will definitely rebook with her again and would strongly recommend!”

“Jaidyn was fantastic while I was overseas in Poland and Switzerland for two weeks! She took amazing care of my four cats—Mandy, Lucy, Mochi, and Bodhi—doing daily drop-in visits. Every day she sent updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while being so far from home. Everyone looked relaxed, well-fed, and clearly loved. I came home to happy cats and a clean setup. Highly recommend Jaidyn for anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter!”

“Amy was great and took great care of our two cats. She kept in touch and let us know how our cats were doing while we were away. They seemed very happy during her visits and I would highly recommend!”

“Magnolia was exactly what I was looking for in a pet sitter! I knew right when I met her that my senior kitty was in good hands while I was gone for the weekend. I’ve never used a pet service before and I was nervous, naturally. With a sitter like Magnolia there was no reason to be worried! Smeagol was well taken care of and I will not hesitate to book with Magnolia again. Highly recommend!!!!”

“Julie is fantastic! We have been trusting her with our Jolene and we couldn’t be happier! She takes care of and cares about Jolene like she’s her own! Absolutely the best! 🩷🩷”


About: I’ve had a deep love and passion for animals since I was a child. I’m known to take in strays and help them either find their home or get them to a shelter so they can be taken care of . I’m very patient with every kind of animal , puppies and juveniles are my favorite seeing as though they have the most energy . I’m currently working part-time so I have all the time to sit in house with pups or cats. I’m available to board on weekends and can even provide pickup and drop off services. I have a fenced in yard and if need be I’m open to watching them from your home. All animals are free roam unless you want them crated .
“Davis did a great job taking care of my cats while I was out of town! He did exactly what we needed, and was an excellent, quick communicator. I look forward to working with him again!”


“Shelby took great care of my cat Lola. We needed her to stop by and give her a specific kind of food, and to let her play for a little while. She followed our instructions for the whole stay, and we got back to a happy/healthy cat.”

“Valerie has taken excellent care of my Bengal cats. Not only are their needs met, but she takes time to play with them and sends cute pics to show they love her being there”

“Bailey took great care of our cats and dog while away. We have a large Rottie that can be a bit intimidating but she handled him with ease. Her attention was much appreciated.”
About: Commander of the weens and keeper of the one eyed retrievers! I modify my schedule to fit you and your pets needs! I am willing to accommodate your dogs and provide a peaceful retreat to keep them calm and in their routine so you can enjoy your time away without worrying about your bestie! I offer in home and at home dog care. Please note dogs must walk on a leash if they are staying with me as I am currently in an apartment close to many parks! I am currently a grad student with a flexible schedule. I do not have pets of my own so your pet(s) will be the center of my attention! I currently live in a spacious apartment with no pets and no kids. Pets can be crated or free to roam while I am not there. I live next to a walking path that is close to many parks (less than 5 min walking). I am happy to stay at your house to minimize disruptions to your pets routine. At home visit and meet and greets are highly encouraged prior to booking!
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 12- my own cats, extended family and friends' dogs, even a friend-of-a-friends 8 guinea pigs! I've got extended experience with a variety of pets and environments, and I am dependable and flexible for all needs. I work and study basically full time, but this gives me lots of "free time" dedicated to working from home. This lets my schedule be quite variable and flexible at times. Pet safety is very important- keeping track of pets especially outside, making sure they aren't in unsafe conditions in the house (for pet and house), ample walking time, and making sure doors are closed and locked.
Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lidia was very consistent and detailed in relaying the events from her drop-in visits. And she was very receptive to the directions I'd written and to the updates concerning possibly delivered packages in my absence. I felt at peace knowing my cat Sophie was taken care of.

I have relied on Julie multiple times to take care of my cats, and she has developed such a great relationship with them. Leaving my girls is always the biggest stress for me when I travel, but she makes it easy. You won't need to worry about your pets while Julie is caring for them!

Anne did a terrific job watching over my little loved ones, including one with an unusual bathroom habit. Getting photos sent to me daily helped me relax in seeing their faces and snapshots of normal routines. Everything Anne did was precisely on schedule with no worries!

Amy is incredible. She takes great care of my dog, and I can rest at ease knowing that I can trust her both with my dog and in my home. She is kind, patient, understanding, and shows great love to my dog. I am so grateful to have found her and cannot say enough good things about Amy.

Lindsey was a fantastic pet sitter for our cats! She was sweet, kind, and very responsible throughout the entire visit. She stayed responsive and kept us updated with plenty of photos, which really gave us peace of mind. Our cats looked happy and comfortable and it was clear they trusted her. Highly recommend Lindsey if you’re looking for someone reliable and caring!

Miranda was kind, patient, and genuinely caring. Our cat became quickly stressed and temperamental when we left, and even though Mayzie was acting out, Miranda went above and beyond in her care. I am so thankful and truly blown away by her patience and kindness in such a challenging situation. She was timely, communicative, and just an all-around professional.

I’m so thankful to have found Jess! My dogs are so much happier with her coming to visit them during the day. Her communication is outstanding, and she sends the best photos during her visit! She has made this experience incredibly easy and put any worries I had to rest. Thank you, Jess!

5/5 stars! Couldn’t be happier with the care our pets received! Kellece was amazing with our two dogs and our ducks! She sent regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. Highly recommend and will def try booking for our next trip if is she is available!
