“Tori was great! Arrived right on time, gave an insulin shot no problem, and spent the rest of the time giving loves and taking cute pictures. We'll absolutely use her services again and would recommend to others!”
“Great job caring for my Nico! Gave him the potty break and energy release he needed during my long work days! Will be using in the future for sure! Thank you again for all your help, and being so helpful!”
“Brandy is fantastic!!! She is so reliable and thoughtful about logistical details. Plus our antisocial kitties love her. She is our go-to pet sitter whenever we go out of town!”
“Brandy did a wonderful job with my cat Tiger for the weekend. I can always tell by how he acts when I get home from a trip if he’s happy and well adjusted. Thanks to Brandy he is was just that! I trust Brandy and will ask her to housesit again.”
About: I recently moved back in to the area from California. We are still getting our bearings off the city and finding new places to play and explore As a disabled veteran and single mom, i am home most of the time, outside of some time at the gym or taking my 3 year old to the park. She loves animals, is quite gentle, and is never just left with animals alone. She tends to be helpful in filling Lola's bowl with water and food and tossing a treat to show some love. If kids are not okay, I am child free Saturday through Sunday afternoons, for those times when you need to be doggy free. Fresh water is provided inside and out on the deck to bask, as well as a constant eye when not out for a walk. I tend to avoid dog parks with other people's pets under my watch, I'd prefer to maintain a safe and predictable environment.
“Melanie was a life saver. I was on a trip for Christmas. The family friend of my husband was supposed to watch Isabel. We had not heard from her for 18 hrs. So I had a friend check on Isabel. But, she could only do it for 2 days and we were going to be gone for another day. On Dec 24th at the last minute, Melanie took my emergency visit for the 25th and at am amazing rate. Thank you so much for helping Isabel and our sanity. I will definitely be asking in the future and recommending you to everyone”
“Zoe took very good care of our kitties while we were gone for two weeks for our wedding. She also house sat for us and left it cleaner than it was when we got there. 10/10 would book again!”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs since I was young, and I currently live with several cats, including my own named Poe. I’m experienced with all kinds of personalities—from energetic puppies to calm senior cats—and always provide gentle, reliable care. I work full time but have a flexible schedule that allows plenty of time for drop-ins and walks. I’m available all day on Thursdays and Fridays, and most evenings after work. I’m reliable, responsive, and always make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in their own homes, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and treat every cat or dog with patience and kindness. You can count on me to respect your home and your pets as if they were my own.
About: I have experience with small animals, exotics, farm and domesticated pets. My passion for caring for animals came after my soul dog passed away from aggressive cancer. This led me to honor his memory through work at my local humane society. I have cared for kittens and puppies through senior and hospice. I am able to dedicate myself to your pets needs physically, emotionally and medically. From playtime to cuddles and resting to education for your pet I’m here to do it all. I love caring for all pets, along with helping keep them stimulated physically, mentally and happy! I am a fear free certified animal care giver and enrichment specialist. I left shelter work recently to have more flexibility for my own pets and family. I love addressing behavior concerns including barrier reactivity, animal and people reactivity, fear aggression and any other concerning behaviors. My partners work gives me the flexibility to be a stay at home pet parent and travel when we are able. I have most days free for daily and/or weekly care. I am also available to travel if your pet is needing care while traveling with you. I have experience in caring and calming animals from everyday stressors to longer induced traumas. I use techniques to lower fear, anxiety and stress. I also give some very good kitty and doggy massages. Safety, mental and physical wellbeing is my priority. I want your pet to feel loved and secure as if they were my own. Working in an animal shelter for 3 years gave me the experience to see and understand so many different animals and behaviors. I’m committed to your pets success. Lgtbq+ friendly care for everyone and every pet.
“Tyler did an awesome job caring for my cat. He sent a couple pictures and a little blurb summarizing the visit every time and he was always quick to respond to any messages I sent. He also left a kind message on my whiteboard welcoming me back to my home which was lovely after a full day of travel! Thanks Tyler!”

Elmira cat parents share their Rover experiences
Tori was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond while watching our outside cat. We had a very cold spell while Tori was watching Sox, and the water jug we left outside froze, so she made sure to thaw the water so Sox would have an ample supply of fresh water! She is the best, can't recommend enough.
