“This is our 3rd experience having Kailie drop in on Cinnamon. We couldn't be happier with her daily feedback, photos, and follow through on tasks. I will not hesitate to book Kailie again!”
“Kaylea did an excellent job for us with our three cats while we were away for three weeks. She kept in regular contact and we came home to find everything in great order. I highly recommend Kaylea and look forward to having her back again for future cat care.”
“Samantha was a wonderful companion for my cat Cameo. This was her first visit. She came twice a day for three days. She spent about an hour here each time and in addition to food, water, litter Samantha spent time with Cameo and kept her company. She played with Cameo and brushed her and Cameo responded with love. I adopted Cameo six months ago and she has gradually warmed to her new life with me. When I returned from being away Cameo was even a little more relaxed and friendly than before I left. Cameo and I look forward to the next time Samantha comes to visit in June.”
About: Hi! My name is Aly and I’m 18. I love going on walks and playing with cats and dogs. As well as just lounging around. I am currently in school, so weekends and nights would work best until mid May. Over the summer I will be available at all times.

“Josephine took excellent care of my elderly cat, Lucy, while my family and I were traveling for 2 weeks. She visited our house daily to give Lucy her medication, snacks, and purr-filled couch hangouts. I would definitely rebook in the future! Thank you, Josephine 😸”
“Tim took great care of our dog Monty while we were away. We were so grateful to know he was in good hands!”
About: I have cared for numerous cats and dogs in my life. Sometimes up to 7 at a time for one household. I am from a large family with many different pets and routines, allowing me to use intuition and experience to guide my stays. Patience and kindness are a must! I work a full-time job that has flexible hours between 7am to 11pm, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day. This field allows me to leave work for up to 1 hour a day in order to let animals out every 4 hours or so if your pet is not comfortable with a full 8-hour day. I like to watch how the owners interact with their animals and use this as a model for how to treat each pet individually. This allows me to use my own judgement but create a familiar environment for your fur baby!
“Casandra was great with my cat Coco! Coco requires some medications to be given a couple times a day, and she was able to do that. She gave me updates on Coco throughout the week, and photos of Coco every day, and I came back from vacation to a healthy happy Coco!”

“Jacquelyn is a great cat sitter and true cat lover! She instantly bonded with our 5 cats and took wonderful care of them - we’re lucky we found her.”
“Mark did a great job with my cat. He was an excellent communicator and left my house in perfect order. I will definitely ask him to return in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Ginger! I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a little girl. Most recently, I spent the summer pet-sitting for three months in Los Angeles for a family friend’s 18-year-old Japanese Chin and their 10-year-old cat. It was a great experience! I am responsible, timely and compassionate. I work fully remote, allowing me to provide all-day pet care to your beloved animals. I am more than happy to answer any questions you have. Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs! I work remotely from 9-5:30. Available to walk and do home visits before/ after work. If staying at your home, I am available all day long and would happily work from your house to keep your pets company. If your pet is staying with me we can get plenty of walks in throughout the day! Making sure there is always water available. Feeding at appropriate times and as directed. Baths if requested. Potty breaks as needed. Walks as much as possible. Lots of pets!!
About: I have lived on a goat farm for the past 10 years now. I have grown up with animals of all sorts like: dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, goats and more! I have a lot of experience in taking care of pets as it is what I do at home. I will be working part time in Dorset, Vermont. My schedule will vary; however, working in Dorset and living in Jamaica gives me freedom and time to spend with animals. I always make sure to first of all treat any space that isn't mine with kindness and respect. Making sure the place is left as if you weren't even there, just with happy pets is my goal.
“Dina is extremely kind, thoughtful, responsive, and reliable. Very grateful to her for taking such good care of our standoffish senior cat.”

Things we might enjoy while you're out of town include hiking, long car rides, dog parks, playing, and cuddling on the couch -- just let me know what type of vacation you want for your pet and I'm happy to provide it! I'm also happy to send daily updates to let you know what we're up to! I have a flexible schedule. I usually require two weeks notice, but can frequently make last-minute bookings as well, and I'm always happy to spend the night at a client's home in order to care for pets. I understand that routines are important and will stick to yours while you're away. I have an apartment where no pets are allowed, so enjoy any pet time that I get! I have several regular clients.
About: For five years I have been pet sitting for coworkers, family, and friends. I have cared for small to large dogs, some lazy and many very high energy! I love being able to play with the pets to get their energy out and give them a good petting afterwards. Generally, I am available both ends of the day and most weekends. My full time job is flexible for the most part and can create my schedule to accommodate different gigs. I primarily have experience with overnight pet sitting at the client’s house. I am comfortable with both rural and more city environments. Privacy is important for me, so I will always respect the client’s privacy of their home. If uncomfortable with overnight stays, I will gladly travel to the client’s house in the morning and evenings to care for their pets.
About: I’ve been taking care of other families animals for about 4 years now. I have consistently watched animals for the same families, and have picked up more jobs along the way. I’m currently unemployed, so my schedule is very flexible! Let me know what type of schedule works for you and your animal and we can make it work! I am very comfortable walking dogs of any size. I have grown up with big strong dogs. I love playing with animals and engaging them to make them happy!
“Colleen was great! She came a few days before to meet my (high maintenance) cat and see the space. She was super warm and nice - I had no qualms about leaving my baby in her care. She updated me a couple times of day, with pictures! My cat was healthy and happy after she left, and the house looked great - she even took out my trash! I would (and will) 100% book Colleen again!!”
About: Common courtesy and communication is paramount. **Willing to travel up to an hour away. Just because Rover says you are outside my service area it does not always mean you are. I have clients an hour North and South of me. **Necessary update as of 6/21/23** I will require current credit card info be on file at your vet or provided for me in your pet write up ONLY in case of emergency. In the event of an emergency and I could not get a hold of the human, puppies have no pockets to hold a card, the vet required me to pay. I have raised 3 separate RESCUE Rottweilers to be exceptional ambassadors of their breed. I currently do not have any pets since my big boy passed away in 2016. I hope to again one day have my own dogs. Until then I will love YOUR pet. **I DO NOT board animals at my home. Only repeat clients would MAYBE be possible for a very short amount of time.** Clients pets have included many breeds, species for days, weeks. Many Golden Retrievers, Doodles, mixes aka Heinz57s, Old English Sheep dog, lots of kitties, a chameleon, turtles, a bearded dragon, a small bird, fish, Rottweilers, a very challenging but lovable English Bulldog and Huskies one of which was very reactive. Oh and a LOT of house plants! PLEASE NOTE: I am deathly allergic to horses which I am very sad about. Any type of animal requiring LARGE amounts of hay would also be a problem i.e, goats, cows, alpacas I am sorry to say. Small rodent animals requiring hay for food or bedding has not been a big deal. My personnel dogs were very public dogs, parks, events etc. With the ever present fact in mind that as good as my animal was it is still an animal. Never purposely putting them in a situation to be loose (unless at home or a fenced park) or get into anything that could harm them. Read quite a few books/manuals by military working dog trainers in hopes of training a service oriented Rottie. Came very close to passing the Good Citizen certification but my dogs never liked the “stay” part when I had to walk away with my back turned. They just had to be next to me. So close. PLEASE NOTE: I have my preferences set to NOT to show any photos of YOUR pet publicly. I would ask permission first to share. Photos only NEVER infomation of course. My schedule allows me to be available to be in YOUR HOME, with your pets all day/night, unless noted ahead of time and of course trips to the store. I have many types of animals that insist on sleeping in bed just like they do when their people are home which in fine by me. Just take some Benadryl and snuggle on in. I try to stick closely to how the home runs normally so the pets do not have any surprises that can make them anxious. Sleep, food, walks, play time etc. I supervise dogs in their own yard fenced or not. I am very organized and like an outlined idea of their schedule to be written down for me to follow as closely as YOU would.

My work days change frequently but I am available outside of these hours for your caretaking needs. I will not be providing services in my home at this time.

12. Ginger B.
“Ginger is my daughter and has been a wonderful help in raising all of our pets through the years. From a young age, she loved our cats and our first dog -- a yellow lab named TJ. When TJ died of old age, we adopted a black lab named Stella. Ginger and Stella had a wonderful bond and Ginger was instinctively loving, caring and helpful in raising Stella for 14 years. First through play and later with exercise, finally with gentle compassion as Stella reached her final years. Ginger can be counted on for fulfilling necessary duties in a timely fashion and for making sure animals are safe, calm, and in the case of dogs -- exercised sufficiently. Ginger is smart, honest, tidy, and responsible. I highly recommend her to care for anyone's pets and to assure that one's home is respected in the process.”
13. Shae M.
“We have two high-energy dogs (a GSD and a hound) that Shae has walked several times for us. They are a lot for some people to deal with, but she has done a great job every time she has walked them. She also has taken the time to learn their individual needs, which we really appreciate. She is very reliable and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. We definitely love being able to use her when we aren’t able to walk them ourselves”
