“Hanna took great care of our two kitties. She provided updates and pictures with regard to their routines and health and gave them the much needed attention they deserve while we are away. We sincerely appreciate her taking such good care of them and will definitely reach out to her for our next time away from home. Thank you so much Hanna!”

“Marisa's drop in was fine. Vincent took to her immediately and Jules, was his usual "What type of human are you and do I want to be associated with you?" He came around a bit, but with him it takes more than one short visit.”

About: Hi there, I'm Heidi and I have been watching dogs for 20 years. Our beloved dog recently passed away and we miss all the dog snuggles. Dogs are treated like family at our house. I'm a RN but currently I am a stay at home mom and my husband works from home so I am home during the day and am available to walk your pet frequently. I can guarantee good communication and lots of love for your pet! I'm currently a stay at home mom so I am flexible to work with different pet needs. We can go on plenty of walks, have play time and frequent pee/poop breaks. We allow pets into our normal routine such as walking to the park, snuggles and play time. Pets are allowed on furniture and are seen as part of our family.

“Cynthia has been by far the best cat sitter we have hired. We were out of town for over 2 weeks and were anxious about what to do about our 3 cats. With our previous sitter, behavioral issues occurred and our cats decided to poop all over the house, plus they seemed visibly upset upon our return. Cynthia provided updates and photos during each visit and gave them lots of attention. They were happy when we returned and showed no signs of stress. Cynthia also did a great job with cleaning our multiple litter boxes and bringing the mail in. She went beyond our expectations!!”

“Danyelle provided detailed updates and photos. Our cat was shy and aloof since it was his first time with a sitter, but she did her best to appeal to him. Danyelle also explained their cancellation and refund policy clearly when I requested changes to my booking. They responded quickly and appreciated their flexibility. Would definitely schedule Danyelle again.”

“This was our first Rover experience and Virginia was a perfectly wonderful pet sitter for our cat, Fergus. She came by to meet him ahead of time, sent lots of photos and videos while we were away and, above all, made us feel very comfortable leaving him in her pet-loving hands. We would recommend Virginia highly and hope to find the opportunity to have her help again soon!”

“Julia was very communicative. I like how she checked in upon arrival and when she left, sending photos, and a check list of meal and potty breaks each drop-in! She was very professional and kind. One of my dog's even ended up sick, leaving several piles of throw up and she kindly took care of it, not leaving any mess for me to have to come home to. Definitely recommend and will use again!”

“Aubrey is, quite simply, the absolute best and most caring and trustworthy person one can meet. I left Maxime in her care while away for a week in Seattle; she (Maxime) is a sensitive kitty who doesn’t like to be alone and isn’t used to/tends to be wary of strangers…I don’t like to be away from her either (as I am always home, with her) so I feel a bit anxious during those rare times when I am away for more than a few days. During my trip, I felt so reassured to know Aubrey was checking in on Maxime; receiving her updates was the highlight of my days. Upon my return, I found Maxime happy and healthy, totally at ease, with no signs of anxiety whatsoever as though I’d never even left! I could tell from her demeanor that she had received the utmost love, affection, attention and care, and for this, I am exceedingly grateful for Aubrey. She truly is fantastic, she is the best!”

About: Dogs and cats aren't just pets to me—they are family, confidants, and absolute best friends. My own pets are my genuine besties, and I promise to treat yours with that exact same level of unconditional love, respect, and playful energy! My house is a happily packed pet paradise, and all five of my fur-babies are adopted rescues! I have a massive heart for rescue animals and am the proud pet parent to two wonderful dogs—Harry, a Portuguese Podengo Pequeno, and Sally, a Cairn Terrier/Corgi mix. We also share our home with two gorgeous Norwegian Forest Cats, Chaussette and Hugo, and our sweet senior calico queen, Greta (lovingly nicknamed Goose). I have spent my entire life raising, loving, and working with animals. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for Corgis, German Shepherds, Black Labs, and unique mixed breeds of every shape and size. Professionally, I have extensive experience working housesitting and petsitting jobs for giant breeds, tiny pups, and everything in between. Why In-Home Care Matters: I focus entirely on taking care of pets in their own environment. Boarding facilities can be loud, chaotic, and scary. By keeping your dogs and cats at home for walks, drop-ins, and weekend stays, we maintain their exact eating and sleeping consistency, heavily reduce their separation anxiety, and eliminate the stress of an unfamiliar place. Your pet gets to stay in their favorite spot on the couch, and I bring the love directly to them! Specialized Care You Can Trust: * Senior & Special Needs Care: Because I care for my own sweet senior rescue Greta at home, I have a deep understanding of senior dogs and cats who need a slower pace, gentle handling, extra bathroom breaks, and patient companionship. * Medical & Medication Management: I am fully confident and experienced in administering medications (oral pills, liquid supplements, or topical treatments) safely and strictly on your required timeline. * True Cat Adoration: I absolutely adore cats! I respect their boundaries, will happily scoop litter boxes to keep their space pristine, and am always ready to whip out the feather wand if the mood strikes your kitty for some playtime. * All-Size Confident: From massive, energetic guard dogs to small, independent pups, my professional sitting background means I know how to handle and lead dogs of any size safely. When your besties are with me, they get a dedicated friend who will send you plenty of fun photo updates, respect your house rules perfectly, and keep them safe, happy, and completely spoiled in the comfort of their own home! I work a standard full-time day job, but my schedule is highly optimized for local pet care! I am available for weekday lunch-break check-ins, daytime drop-in visits, and refreshing dog walks. I also specialize in weekend overnight house sitting stays (and can occasionally accommodate weeknights by special request), making sure your fur-babies get dedicated evening cuddles, structured morning routines, and constant love. I always recommend a free 30 minute meet & greet with you and your pet(s) prior to booking. This helps everyone involved and especially your pet.

Lee was awesome with my kitties! Super professional and adaptable. Great communication throughout the entire process. One of my cats is extremely shy and timid and will hide from anyone she isn’t familiar with, but she quickly became super comfortable and affectionate to Lee after just one visit- I’ve never seen her warm up to someone so quickly!! It just goes to show what a great job Lee did taking care of my kitties and making them feel comfortable while I was out of town!
