It brings me serotonin and gives me that extra boost in my week to spend some time with animals and show them some love too I have a fenced yard and lots of grass space, and plenty of sun. Not to mention a park within walking distance of my house
“Austin was terrific. He stayed with our cat at our house for 10 days and managed to keep this needy critter happy. He stayed in touch with pictures and updates. It allowed us to travel in comfort, knowing our “baby” was in good hands.”
“This was my first time hiring Rachel to care for my pet, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She is incredibly kind, attentive, and detail-oriented when it comes to caring for my cat. I was especially touched by the thoughtful extras—a cute photo of my cat, a handwritten card, and some lovely stickers. Everything felt so personal and heartfelt. I’m very satisfied with her care and will definitely book with her again!”
About: Looking for a loving and reliable pet sitter? I'm here to help! I live in a cozy apartment with my sweet, mellow pug, who gets along well with all pets, big and small. Whether your dog is calm and loves lounging on the couch, or your energetic pup needs plenty of playtime, I provide a comfortable, welcoming environment for every pet. I also adore cats and will give them the care and attention they deserve. I love taking pets on walks around my peaceful neighborhood, and I make sure every pet gets the right balance of activity and relaxation. I work only 15 hours as a nanny. Other than work I study from the comfort of my own home. I spend the majority of my day at home which allows me to do pet sittings. Pets are treated like family! Your pet will enjoy spending time on the couch, getting lots of attention and cuddles. I take pets on daily walks around my neighborhood, ensuring they get enough physical activity and mental stimulation. I follow specific feeding schedules and any special instructions from pet owners, whether it's dietary restrictions, medication, or favorite toys.

“Ian is amazing! I feel so lucky to have found him and that he was available over Memorial Day weekend. He dropped in 2x a day to hang out with my kitty Butternut. Ian was great in keeping Butternut engaged and cared for. He sent pictures and videos everyday which were adorable. 5 stars all around!”
“Danielle is AMAZING! I cannot rate her highly enough. She is kind, personable, super responsive, and took great care of our 3 cats. One of our cats is an almost 17 year old special needs boy, and Danielle went above and beyond for him (and our two other cats). She was very thoughtful, left thorough summaries of how the visits went, and took adorable pictures of the fur babies. It was such a relief knowing we could be out of town and trust that our kitties were receiving wonderful care. Thank you, Danielle!!!”
“Guilherme was great with our two cats, one of which needed daily liquid medication. We got prompt and frequent updates and pictures throughout the visits. Would easily recommend!”
About: I love all breeds and sizes of dogs and cats. I am responsible and reliable. I have raised 2 pit bull mixed breeds and have over 30 years experience. I have flexible schedule because I am taking online classes. I can take your pet for walk or drop in services, whatever your schedule requires. We have a fenced in back and front yard. Plenty of room to run and play in. We also have a large crate if they need to be crated.
“Our 2 dogs and 2 cats liked Kylie, and her 2 visits to feed and exercise them was a success. She communicated with us each time she came, and sent pictures. I would hire Kylie again.”
“Isabel took great care of our energetic outdoor cat while we were away for a week. She took care of everything our cat needed, even taking her out on a leash a few times to get fresh air. She sent updates and pictures during every visit. Thank you Isabel!”
“Maria took great care of our two cats while away! She sent regular photo updates, and we returned to happy pets. Her genuine affection for animals made our time away worry-free. Highly recommended!”
About: Ive had my dog Junie for almost 4 years and have dog sit or cat sit for my friends, including cats, puppy, small/medium/large dogs. I treat every pet baby like my own, because they’re the best! ** I have a yard that Junie LOVES, if your pet baby comes over they can play in the yard and I usually take them out to the park or on a hike. I live by myself in a 2b1b house with a backyard, so I have a lot of space! I work through Monday to Friday in office so I’m only open to weekend bookings. (From Friday night to Monday morning). I have basic items like dog bed, blanket, toys, treats and bowls etc. feel free to bring over your stuff to make it a temporary home for your baby! I can also come over to dogsit, or just drop by for dog walking.
“Samantha is so reliable and caring. I always feel our cat is in good hands while we're traveling. He was acting extra stressed when we left this time and she took great care of him that helped get him back on track.”
“Kylie took excellent care of our cat, Nebula. She’s an older cat who requires medicine and can be a finicky eater. Kylie handled it all beautifully and spent lots of time giving Nebby pets and attention. She was also great about keeping a worried pet mom updated.”

This was my first time hiring Rachel to care for my pet, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She is incredibly kind, attentive, and detail-oriented when it comes to caring for my cat.

I’m very satisfied with her care and will definitely book with her again!
This was our first time using Rover for our cat while we were away on a weekend trip. We are beyond pleased with Anna’s care during her drop in visits. She was kind enough to spend time with our cat before the trip so he was used to her and she became familiar with his routine. While we were away she provided thorough updates and plenty of images to ease our minds. We were happy to see so many pictures of our cat playing with Anna and getting all the pets. We will plan to book with Anna again for any future trips.
Leaving your pets to go on a trip can be stressful, even more so if they have health conditions. However, rest assured that with Shannon, your pets will be in great hands. She was absolutely wonderful with out kitties! Not only she carefully followed all our instructions, she truly went above and beyond to keep our kitties comfortable and happy. Throughout our time away, she was in regular contact with us providing thoughtful updates and observations about our kitties, and of course lots of photos. She was also flexible with her time, for example when one of our kitties required extra attention. It was a great relief to know that our kitties are well taken care of, so we could enjoy our trip. I highly recommend Shannon and would not hesitate to hire her to look after our pets in the future.
Natalie was absolutely wonderful!! My girls (Romy and Michele, two very felonious felines) immediately warmed up to her and she loved them as if they were her own. Natalie was exceptionally communicative, took many pictures, and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed being with my girls. I will DEFINITELY be using Natalie again, and I cannot recommend her in the strongest enough terms to any cat parent!
