âShawna went above and beyond as a cat sitter. When my naughty kittens made messes, she diligently documented and cleaned them up for me. She also offered solutions, including bringing her own water bowl, to ensure they had a sufficient water supply after repeatedly unplugging their fountain. Both cats quickly took to Shawna, not just because she generously brought them toys but also due to her kind and caring nature. I will definitely be checking her availability the next time I need a cat sitter!â

About: I was responsible for taking care of my sisterâs Pomeranian dog and woke up early to make sure she was fed and ready for her morning walks. We also went to the park so she could get her steps in for the day and if she needed a break I would wait for her to rest until she was ready to go home. I am a patient pet care sitter and trustworthy. My schedule is open on the weekdays and weekends! Rest assured your pet will be taken care of while youâre out on the weekends! I am looking forward to meeting new furry friends. I am respectful of anyoneâs home and willing to remove my shoes if necessary before entering. I will also make sure to keep the area clean as needed. I can also send picture updates of my clients pets while in their home if necessary.
âOur first time using this application/service for our furr babies. I picked Kendra and asked her if she could come over so we could meet each other and she could maybe meet our furr babies. After a quick tour and us chatting, 2 of our kitties that normally hide when âstrangersâ are in the home came out to investigate who she was. Our dog Penelope is a people person doggie and pretty much likes everyone. Our one cat Johnni is the most curious and will want to be seen and maybe be petted. We only needed our dog fed and potty break as the cats are on auto feeders. And after having met Kendra I was very comfortable that our animals would be well cared for and I booked her for a drop in. I left her a note for feeding Penelope and where she potties. Kendra kept me in the loop with texts and pictures of the animals. Everyone got their glamour shots but 1 kitty (she was an outdoor kitty and is weary of people until she comfortable with them). We are beyond happy with Kendraâs care of our animals, our home and will definitely be using her services again. Thank you Kendra for making me feel comfortable and knowing our furr babies would be well cared for even for a drop in. Weâll be booking again soon with you!â

âHaven took wonderful care of my Lily and I highly recommend her to anyone who also loves their pet. Her communication and feedback was always done in an impeccable manner and I will be working with her again.â

âPaulina is so sweet! This was my first time using rover so I was a little nervous. She exceeded my expectations! My cats are very shy so I didnât think theyâd come out and play with her for the 3 days she was watching them. But they both played and let Paulina love on them đ we will definitely rebook.â

About: I have had and cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, birds, rats, and fish. I believe it is extremely important to have a genuine love of animals and clear patience when it comes to being a responsible pet owner and caregiver. I have personally trained my two working dog breeds and continue to expand and grow my expertise daily. If you need a trusting person to watch over and care for your pets while you are away, I am definitely that person. I consider the animals in my life a part of the family, and I will be sure your pet feels that same love. I am currently working nights part-time so my entire day is free to check on and ensure your pets are happy and cared for while you are away. I take your directions very seriously and will ensure your animals are taken care of the way you would like them to be. As someone who has had pets their entire life, safety is extremely important to me and I am aware of what could happen if it is not taken seriously. I have ample experience crating, administering medication, and training animals, so if it is needed I can provide these services as well.
âElenys was AMAZING!! I cannot be happier with the care she provided to my fur babies! She is very responsible, responds quickly and efficiently, and is super friendly! My boys absolutely adored her! She goes above and beyond! My little guy is a rescue who can be very timid and she took her time with him and completely won him over!! I would highly recommend her! I honestly felt completely relaxed because of her constant updates and pictures! Thank you again Elenys! Sirius and Albus love you đĽ°â

âThis is the second time Elizabeth has pet sit and again she did amazing! I will not hesitate again to book with Elizabeth and I recommend her for your pet sitting needs!â

About: I've lived with dogs my whole life. Cared for many animals from birth to doggy heaven. I love animals so much I should have to pay to pet sit for people. My dog is very high maintenance, so he gets all the brushing and teeth care one could ask for everyday. I cut his hair myself and train him. I have a nice sized back yard that's fenced in and small from yard as well. Plenty of space to play around and all the amenities one would need.
About: đž About My Pet Care Experience With over 16 years of hands-on pet care experience, Iâve had the privilege of caring for dogs of a majority of breeds, sizes, and life stages â from tiny puppies full of energy to gentle senior companions who need a slower, more attentive approach. Whether itâs a playful, high-energy pup who needs structured walks and stimulation, or an older dog who requires extra patience, comfort, and care, I adapt to each dogâs unique personality and needs. Over the years, Iâve worked with: ⢠Large and small breeds, including strong pullers and timid dogs ⢠Senior dogs- needing medication, mobility support, and gentle routines ⢠Puppies- requiring consistency, positive reinforcement, and safe socialization ⢠Dogs with special behavioral needs, anxiety, or reactivity Above all, I believe in building trusting, calm relationships with every pet I care for â treating them like family, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. I have a relatively open and flexible schedule since I work part time, one to two weekends a month. During my free time Iâve decided to take care of pets because itâs what I enjoy most. I have a fully fenced yard with enough space for my chihuahua and Maltese-schnauzer mix to run around and roam in. Thereâs enough space for big dogs as well!
âSomehow my cat got out before Jamie came for her first visit and I was half way across the country. I saw her on my camera and I called Jamie and she went right over and found my cat! Luckily they know her and came when she called. I will never use another sitter, she is a life saver!!!â

About: Iâve never known life without animals â I grew up surrounded by pets, and caring for them as part of the family has always come naturally. Over the years, Iâve become a trusted house and pet sitter for friends, neighbors, and family. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including senior dogs â from administering medication to going the extra mile to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. Iâm committed to treating your pet like my own and your home with the utmost respect, always leaving things better than I found them. I currently have full flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to dedicate focused, personalized care tailored to each petâs unique needs. Whether itâs daily visits, extended stays, or special requests, I make it a priority to be present and attentive. Caring for a pet is a responsibility I approach with the utmost respect and care, especially when entrusted to enter someoneâs home. I understand that leaving your pet, even for a short time, can be stressful and full of worry. Thatâs why I make it a priority to follow all instructions carefullyâfeeding, medication, playtime, and quiet momentsâwhile creating a calm, comfortable environment. To help ease your mind, Iâll regularly send photos and updates so you can see your pet happy and well cared for. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, content pet and a home just as you left it (or even better!).
