We were so thrilled to find Jacob to take care of our cat. As a first time rover sitter he instantly bonded and took care of all our cats needs and we came home to a happy cat. We are definitely part of Jacob's rover pack now.

Mallory is fantastic! Reliable, attentive, thorough, and provided detailed updates and photos. She gave the gift of peace of mind, especially as my dog is elderly and gets a variety of medicines and ointments. I would absolutely book again.

About: I've been around cats and dogs since I was a baby. After being scratched many times growing up around cats, I have learned cat behavior pretty well. I currently have two cats that would attest to that if they knew English. As for dogs, I've been around many different breeds. My family has had a German Shepherd, a black lab, a tea cup chihuahua, a beagle, and a jack a poo. (not all at the same time.) I feel comfortable taking care of most dogs! I also have house sat for friends with dogs many times before. (they were a mastiff and a weimaraner) I mostly spend my day working on personal projects on the computer. The schedule for those is very flexible so I have plenty of time to stop by and take care of pets! I currently have two cats in my apartment. I keep the litter box cleaned, I play with them throughout the day and take them out on walks in a stroller occasionally. All things I can do when caring for your cat (except for the stroller, probably).

About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and small pets like gerbils. I have a calm, patient, and friendly demeanor that helps me quickly build trust with animals of all personalities. As a dedicated animal lover, I treat every pet like family. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I make it a priority to provide regular updates and photos to keep you reassured. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets who require medication, and I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines I am available most days out of the week, and on weekends. I currently work from home, so I can assure you that your pet will get all the attention and love they deserve! When boarding pets in my home, they are provided with a private, comfortable space in a dedicated spare bedroom to help them feel safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of all household rules, maintain cleanliness, and provide regular updates and photos to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.

Diana was AMAZING. She saw our sick cat on very last minute notice, worked so hard to get her meds in (even though my cat can be resistant), made sure my kitty was super comfortable, sent us ABUNDANT photos, put out a whole array of different foods from different places in our apartment as we were trying to get her to eat, etc. the list goes on. We were so incredibly worried about our kitty and Diana put us at ease with her care. We would hire her again in a heartbeat. She was also just so kind, patient, generous, and communicative the whole way!

About: I've owned pets since I was a kid, from Aussies to Pitties to cats. I love all animals and their unique personalities. I'm here to help you care for your fur family, from walks to feeding, to sitting. I'm very patient and reliable and have open availability to be here to help when you need it. I'm currently have a very flexible work schedule and am looking to help keep myself occupied as well as another source of income. I'm a single mom of a High School Senior so I have lots of free time to devote to your pets. I'll provide care for your pet in your home. I'll feed, water, walk, entertain and clean up after; however snuggles and pets are free. If your pet has special needs like meds, diet, mobility restrictions, I'll gladly help as needed as well. Your pets will be in good hands.

About: Growing up around all kinds of feather and furry friends, caring for animals has always felt second nature to me. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, poultry, goats, rabbits, pigs, and even reptiles. Whether it's a gentle morning feeding, a peaceful walk, or some down-to-earth cuddle time, I make sure your animals feel safe, understood, and right at home. I pride myself on being patient, calm, and observant, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm, as my family has daily ranch duties. Mornings start with feedings and check-ins, afternoons are flexible for visits, and evenings wind down with quiet time, walks, and last rounds. Your pets become part of the natural flow of my week. In clients' homes, I maintain your pet's routine with consistency and care. I provide scheduled feedings, exercise, enrichment, medication if needed, and a clean environment. I respect your space, follow all instructions, and communicate throughout visits with photos and updates.

Li is a terrific cat sitter! I felt confident having her cat sit after meeting her. She made friends with my cat Rosie right away, talking to her, playing with her, and understanding Rosie’s every need. I loved getting daily photos and videos of Rosie while I was away. I do think Rosie misses her now that I’m home!

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals through long term dog and cat fostering, as well as frequent pet sitting for friends and neighbors. My own cat is currently back home with family while I get settled here, but pets have stayed a big part of my life the whole time. What sets me apart is attention to detail. I send timely updates and photos during every visit, so you always know exactly how your pet is doing. Whether it’s feeding, a walk, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions! My schedule is pretty flexible right now, and I can do drop in visits or walks 1 to 3 times a day depending on what your pet needs. Once I’ve gotten to know your dog or cat, I’m also happy to offer boarding. I live in an apartment with dog parks, which makes walks and outdoor time easy. For both walking and boarding, I only take care of one pet at a time, so your pet gets my full attention and a calm, low stress environment. I’m open to boarding for pets I’ve already met and feel comfortable with.

We've just started ongoing drop-in visits with Ariana for our two dogs, and it's been great! She provides updates on how the dogs are doing and makes sure they get a potty break during our busy summer weeks. My dogs warmed up to her quickly, and she's attentive to their needs. She's great, and we look forward to having her continue our drop-in services throughout the summer!

Shawna K. took excellent, attentive care of our cats, and kept us well-informed with reports and photos. One of our cats tends to sneeze-we’re so used to it we forgot to mention it-and Shawna picked up on that and reported it to us. She took time to play with them and managed well with our new cat (who’s not quite integrated yet). When we got home, we found happy cats!

About: I have experience taking care of pets from hamsters to birds to cats and dogs. I know how to adapt to different personalities and requirements based on each pet. I have also taught my cat how to give a high-five and that was fun so I am open to continuing training for pets too. I currently don’t have a full time job so my availability is very flexible. I am also starting on my own exercise journey so being able to get active and meet my daily step goals alongside a furry friend sounds like a cool way to combine interests. In my own home I care for my cat by having an airtag on her and providing supervised patio time. When I take my cat on walks, I use a leash to keep her safe. For taking care of your pet, I will continue to keep an eye on them during play and make sure they dont get into any trouble by eating things they aren’t supposed too. I am good at following directions if your oet has specific instructions for their safety.

I trust Terri completely with our pets. Just before our most recent trip, one of our pets developed a medical issue that jeopardized our ability to leave her even for a few days. Terri graciously agreed to add additional visits at the last minute, sent detailed updates and photos, administered medications and even caught a mistake in the dosage of one of the medications. She’s wonderful and I wholeheartedly recommend her!

Lucy provided excellent care of our three senior cats during our 4 day trip. She administered medication, fed, watered and cleaned up after our cats. Her reports from visits were fun, informative and made us laugh. She provided plenty of pictures to show that the cats were active, correct medication was being administered and the food/water/bathroom areas were all being kept clean. Lucy was wonderful through every step of the way and provided excellent care to our cats durning her visits!
