“This was our first time leaving Lilly with someone else, so we were a little nervous, but Tyler was amazing! He was so kind and made the effort to meet Lilly beforehand, which really put us at ease. I could tell she was a bit sad at first, but Tyler went above and beyond to make her feel secure and comfortable. You can tell he has a good heart and genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. We’re super grateful—thank you again, Tyler! 100% recommend!”
“Solaima was more than perfect with my two cats. She always communicated anything that she wasn’t sure of, and made sure to update me with how they were doing everyday. She even washed a few things that were in the sink when she did not have to! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable pet sitter!!”
“Annaliese was great! She was on time for each visit to check on and give some attention and let's to our 4 cats. It was a peace of mind knowing that someone was visiting with them while we were away. Definitely would book again!”
“Zeping was wonderful with our cats! She was responsive and quick to deal with a few litter box and aggression issues we had over the week. Would wholeheartedly recommend!”

“Emily was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Nico! She has cared for him over multiple days, and I couldn’t have asked for a more reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter. Emily handled both oral meds and injections with complete confidence and care. She also kept me consistently updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled cat sitter—especially if your cat needs a little extra medical attention.”

Thanks for everything, Elizabeth!”

About: I provide reliable, loving care for pets of all sizes. Experienced with walks and playtime. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority. I work from home two days a week, which gives me flexibility for walks, playtime, and drop-ins. Even on office days, I can provide early morning, evening, and weekend care. In my home, pets get a safe, clean space, daily walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. In your home, I follow your routine, keep everything tidy, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for.
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including multiple senior dogs and dogs with anxiety. My entire family has had, or currently has dogs, so I’ve been surrounded by furry friends my entire life! In the past, I've trained my own dog to sit, lay down, shake, and even dance—so I know how much time, love, and patience pets need. I also understand how important it is to find a sitter you can truly trust. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, giving them attention, affection, and reliable care. My wife and I dream of one day owning a personal farm where we can give even more animals a loving home. Until then, I’m here to provide your pets with the next best thing—a safe, happy, and caring environment. I'm a musician, so my schedule is a bit more flexible and less traditional—which works perfectly for giving your pet the care they need, even on short notice. I'm most available during the day, but I understand that things can change quickly in life, so I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests too. Whether it's a quick walk or some quality time while you're away, I’m here to help keep your pet happy and comfortable! When I found my dog, Rhythm, in college, she quickly became my best friend and my whole world. From the start, I felt a deep responsibility to keep her safe—like I was the only one who truly could. That experience taught me how important trust is when it comes to our pets. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, which is why I prioritize safety and care above all else. Every pet is different and deserves personalized attention, and I’m committed to making sure they feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
“Sabrina took great care of our old lady cat and gave her so many Christmas cuddles. We appreciated the detailed reports from each visit and knew that our cat was in great hands. Sabrina was very friendly and responsible and we'd love to have her watch Ms. Kitty again in the future. :)”
“This is the second time that Savannah has watched our pet. She is always very communicative and punctual in all her check ins. She sent us lots of photos of our furry one with each visit. I also appreciated Savannah's flexibility when we had to add some extra days beyond the booking . Thank you for all you have done for Ms. B!”
“Jennifer was amazing caregiving for our senior, anxious pup and we're so grateful for her! She's very flexible, dependable, a clear communicator, and most of all so loving and understanding. Our pup has a lot of extra needs (medicine, a poor bladder, separation anxiety) and Jennifer handled all of it wonderfully. We'd absolutely recommend her!”

Rye V.
“Rye watched my senior dog and kitten during a last-minute trip, and I couldn't be more grateful. He responded and connected with me so quickly, despite the short notice. He did a wonderful job caring for my pets and even gave medication to my new kitten, who had a cold. I usually leave detailed instructions for new sitters, but due to the time crunch, I wasn’t able to prepare much. Still, Rye handled everything effortlessly. It was clear right away that he knew what he was doing, which really put me at ease. He also sent updates and photos while I was away, and I returned to two very happy pets. Rye was fantastic, and I’ll definitely be using his services again. 10/10!”

Mei Ling was a wonderful sitter for my two cats. She spent a lot of time interacting with them, playing, brushing, and giving treats. They began to trust her quickly, which is pretty rare, especially for my shy little girl. She took lots of informative photos and communicated really well. I am really impressed and look forward to continuing to book with her.
Kayla rocks. My cat immediately took to her, she went out of her way to clean up the litter box and food areas. She also spent time patting and playing with my cat and sent me lots of pictures while I was away. I’ve never left my cat with anyone but relatives and she made me feel so comfortable!
I've booked multiple times with Jenin and have nothing but great things to say! They are great with my cat, very communicative, and sends a bunch of great photos after every drop-in. The photos and updates make my day and make me feel like my pet is in good hands. Would highly recommend Jenin!
Ana noticed my cat was having difficulty walking when she arrived for her check in. She contacted me immediately with the details and photos. She gave her extra care and brought her a low litter box because she was having difficulty getting into the taller litter robot. Ana is the most caring rover I’ve ever experienced.
Susannah took excellent care of my cats while I was away. She was a great communicator from the start and provided detailed notes and pictures for each visit. She even got my scaredy cats to come out and play with her one of the days. Looking forward to working with her again!
Judy is wonderful! She is attentive and very communicative. Our elderly cat loves her!! She sends updates and pictures during all her visits. We’ve hired Judy a few times and we are already looking to book her for the future. She’s very reliable and we would highly recommend!
