“I booked with Cait for the first time and she was great with my cats. I booked her for 30 minutes and she spent it all taking care of them. While we were gone the garage door also opened and she closed it. I will definitely book her again :-)”
“Cristina is amazing! She’s got great availability and is so awesome with our kitties. She always makes sure to play with them and noticed when things are off, like a possible medical issue or piece of trash they might chew on. I highly recommend her - I always know my cats are in good hands!”
“Madeleine was wonderful! Our cat immediately took to her and she was prompt and caring in spending time with her and making sure she was fed and had a clean litter box. I will 100% be booking her again next time and recommend her. Thank you so much, Madeleine!”
“Kaitlyn was great! She even watered my plants and took the initiative to fill my bird feeder! I thought it was too much to ask, but she did it on her own. My kitty is very shy so she did not see him at all but she gave evidence of him eating and pooling. I had no worries! Thank you,Kaitlyn!”

She treated her with the utmost care and even brought her little toys which was so kind of her to do 🥹💖 Our home was spotless and well-taken care of as well. Hadija shared videos and photos frequently between meals/playtime and was very communicative/quick to respond.

About: Hello and welcome! My name is Chelsea and I have an extensive background in doggy daycare services and volunteer shelter support! My qualifications extend to fur babies of the dog and cat variety. You can count on my calm demeanor translating to animals with anxiety concerns & medication needs. I look forward to speaking with you regarding how I can fufill your caretaking needs! Please see calendar for updates. Afternoons and weekends are my main availability, but I do have some time off where my schedule is more open. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on creating a calm and familiar environment to keep them happy and stress-free. I maintain their regular feeding schedule, ensure fresh water is always available, and take care of any medication needs with careful attention. I love engaging pets with playtime, walks, and plenty of affection—always respecting each pet's unique personality and comfort level. I also keep their living space tidy, clean up litter boxes or backyard areas, and provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home until you return.
“Jade was great with my dog Mando which is a husky. We first did a meet and greet which was great because I got to see how they interacted with eachother and Mando loved Jade. We booked our walk soon after the meet and greet and everything went super smooth. She followed all my instructions regarding his walk and also provided updates. Ill definitely be reaching out for further services.”
“Tracy is excellent!! She took such good care of our cat Madison while we were on vacation! She came twice a day to feed and check in on her. And she sent us pictures during each visit. Would highly recommend Tracy!! Thank you Tracy!!”

About: I have had pets of my own since I was 13! In college, I became a professional dog trainer for PetSmart and puppy raiser for The Seeing Eye puppy raising program. Not only have I cared for a household of my own four pets, but have pet and house sat for many of my family, friends, and coworkers! My hybrid schedule at work gives me the flexibility to care for pets on lunch breaks and weeknights after 5pm as well as unlimited time to spend with your fur babies on the weekends! At home, I have two friendly large dogs, as well as a fenced in yard for plenty of exercise. Constant supervision is the most important thing to me when caring for your fur babies!
“I am very private, and am not one to write reviews, but I needed to tell the world about Monica. Monica is amazing, I can count on her and trust her 100 % when I go away. My little angels gravitate towards her, and I am very grateful to have found such a great pet sitter. Thank you Monica for all that you do !!”

I offer a secure, fenced backyard where your dog can safely play and exercise off-leash, plus I'm just one block from a spacious park - giving your pet the best of both worlds for their daily adventure.

“Krista is an loving dog sitter and dog Mom (she has Labradors of her own). Like all Moms, she puts her fur babies' needs before her own. Krista was an active member of a college Seeing Eye Puppy-Raising Club, so she is well-educated in proper dog care and dog training. I recommend her to Rover clients without reservation. She will treat your pets as if they were her own so you can be away from them without worry.”
