“Lisa did such a nice job taking care of my cat Oscar, and we will definitely hire her for future trips! Super professional and reliable, excellent communication. Returned to find a happy kitty who had clearly been well cared for. Thank you so much Lisa!”
“We just had another amazing experience with Emily and her stellar cat care! Our cats love her and we know that they are in wonderful hands every time she helps to care for them :)”
“Melissa was amazing, our cat had just gone through a stay at the hospital and she was very experienced being a vet tech and knew how to take care of our boy. She's very sweet and her communication is very open. Will definitely be booking with Melissa again!”
“Carole was amazing! She sent thorough updates about my cats while I was gone, and they warmed up to her easily- even my shy girl. I didn’t feel at all worried about my cats or the apartment while I was away. She is very respectful and trustworthy. I highly recommend Carole!”
“Jen is fantastic. She is very professional and dotes on Tako like we would. I know Tako is in loving hands and with a human who just gets cats, which is so important. Jen takes lots of photos & videos and keeps me posted on how he’s doing. Her communication is extremely fast and punctual. I’m looking forward to working with Jen in the future.”

In addition, she washed the dirty plates from the prior visits and left everything neat and clean. I would highly recommend Mary Rose, and I’ll book with her again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life, whether that be my own or friends/family. I have experience taking care of puppies, senior dogs, and unspayed/neutered dogs as I have had these myself throughout my life. In my lifetime I’ve had basset hounds, a Westie, a Boston Terrier, and a couple hamsters. I am happy to look after small caged animals as well for a smaller fee if you message me and let me know! I can also give your dog/s any medications or special treats that they may need/like. I cannot give injectable medicine, however. I currently work part-time and I’m working on my masters degree. I am available for dog walking, boarding, and house sitting! All of my availability is clearly marked on my calendar and updated. I only list days that I can fully commit to the service that I am providing. I would want that for my pets and I believe you would too. I would love to do a meet and greet with you and your dog before the booking. If you are not satisfied with the meet and greet you can cancel my services up until the day before service. I want you and your pet to feel as comfortable and safe with my services as possible. I have no pets of my own currently, so your pet will have the whole space for them. I don’t have the time for a dog of my own at this time in my life, so dog sitting/walking brings me a lot of joy and fulfillment. I will truly treat your dog with love and care. I am newer to using this site for dog sitting and walking but I have lots of personal experience with my own previous dogs and friends/family. I would truly appreciate you and your dog taking a chance on me as I get started here. I have a small unfenced front yard for a quick potty. However, majority of your dogs potty breaks will be walks as my neighborhood has sidewalks on every immediate street. There is also a park a quick 7 minute walk away and a college campus close by as well with plenty of green spaces. If I am at your home I am happy to take your dogs on walks there as well. I will treat your home and pet as my own with great care.

Faith L.Star Sitter
“My dog, Honey, absolutely loves when Faith comes to watch and hang out with her. Honey is a very energetic and excitable dog and Faith always gives her the exercise, attention, and love that Honey needs. Whether it comes in the form of throwing the ball, going for a walk, playing tug-a-war, or training with treats, I never have to worry about if Honey will be exercised, happy, or fulfilled after Faith stays/checks-in on her. Honey and I can’t recommend Faith enough for any of your pet needs.”

Edgewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
I highly recommend Tania for her absolutely wonderful service. She is most punctual, responsive, and reliable and reading her rover card notes brought me joy. She also has a great understanding of cats. I am relieved and excited to have found someone I can trust my cat with while I travel!
Natalie was amazing with my cat! My cat could seem hard to understand because she needs to come to you on her own terms. Natalie was so patient and caring that my cat trusts her completely! My cat loves her and adores spending time with her. I will book Natalie any time!
Will 100% book Angela again! She was flexible in accommodating my request after another sitter cancelled last minute and she did great with my cats. She had no issue administering medication to my geriatric guy and even bonded with my more skittish girl. She also took great photos :-)
Melissa was amazing! I can tell that she is an animal person and immediately my cat was comfortable with her. I hate leaving my kitty so it gave me such peace of mind to know she was taking care of him. Melissa also provided great update photos! I would definitely recommend Melissa if you need a caretaker for your pet :)
Thanks for taking care of Colt and Ripley, including giving medications. Each visit included multiple pictures and updates about concerns I had previously expressed (medications, not eating, etc.). Marisa was very easy to work with and communicative. I would definitely rebook!
