“As usual Laura was the best sitter ever!! We were out of the country so she really handled everything for me including taking excellent care of our senior kitty who was happy as a clam when we got home.

She is just the best. We have had her take care of our kitties for six years now.”
“WOW!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! You have got to call Heather for your pet care needs! This was our very first experience with pet sitters and we unanimously voted Heather as our permanent caregiver for our cats and dogs! During the meet and greet, our pets, who are usually iffy around strangers, peacefully gathered around her. Trust was quickly established. Heather is warm, kind, super fun, amazing personality, and very knowledgeable about pet care. She knows exactly what to do. Besides, it was a treat meeting her extremely adorable daughter Aliya. What a team! Guaranteed amazing pet care service - Call Heather now!”
About: Used to walk multiple dogs regularly, have house sitted with multiple animals in the house. Have worked with large dogs over 100lbs to smaller dogs. Being around animals really puts me and my combat veteran husband at peace and I just love speaking to all furry friends sweetly and lovingly. I love animals of all ages, sizes and breeds. Currently free most of the time as a stay at home wife and mother. Weather depending. Can make accommodations if the weather isn't ideal. Please just contact me to discuss alternate options during bad weather. I will provide the highest level of safety and care when I'm with your animals. I always make sure an environment is safe and clear before entering. I treat all animals as if they were my own, I'm very particular on how animals are treated and do my upmost to make your animals feel as loved as you make them feel.
“Hana took excellent care of our senior kitty, Rue, while we were away. Rue requires medication twice a day, which isn’t always easy, but Hana made sure she got everything she needed right on time. She also sent thoughtful updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We highly recommend Hana and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Tatum is incredible! She watched my pup for us in our hotel room while we were out at our wedding and she was absolutely perfect. She kept us updated without over-communicating or distracting us from our celebration. Otter was exhausted and wagging his tail when we came home - we know he had a great time!”
About: Hello! My name is John Paul (JP) for short. I turned 18 a couple months ago and I’m available for pet sitting! I have been doing pet sitting for about 6 years now and I love it. I’ve had 3 dogs, 2 cats, and over 5 baby parrots I’ve raised on own when I was younger and I like to think I had/have a very good relationship with them. I love all sorts of animals and love getting to spend time and interact with them. We’ll because I’m still in school, I stay at home with my parents but I have 2 cats that I feed, clean litter boxes, and spend time and play with daily. In my clients home I would obviously respect their space and not let the pets in anywhere they cannot go. If they have a fenced backyard and allow it, I would let them out and play with them. If they have a cat I would try my best to just spend time with them and play if they want to!
“So glad we found Nimisha on Rover to care for our puppy while we were away from home for long periods of time! She was incredibly responsive and showed care by asking questions to ensure Beau received the best care. She sent photos and updates both times. We came home to a happy pup :) We will definitely book her again!”
