“Ace was so amazingly flexible and helpful during a long trip away from home. We booked her originally to care for our cats while we were away for a holiday trip, but when a family emergency came up and we needed to leave early she was able to add more dates to the booking and was right there sending updates and cute photos from home-lifting our mood during a difficult time. Our cats were in great spirits when we returned, and she went above and beyond straightening up their messy litter boxes-so our home felt well cared for as well. Can’t say enough great things about Ace. She’s a treasure and truly a caring person who loves animals.”
About: The family for my last petsit said this: "[Our dog] had nothing but wonderful things to say about you, she was very happy when we got home, that means she didn't feel upset at all. Yay!!! Thank you again!! " I've cared for households with multiple pets, including cats, dogs, multiple cats, multiple dogs, and a combination of the above. I've often had people reach back out to me to sit for them again. I love to follow your instructions as closely as possible to help out your animals with the stress of owner absence. I find it important to take time to play with and sit with animals. I'm familiar with giving pets medication, whether through pill pockets, food, or other methods. If your kitties are particular about litter cleaning, I am happy to provide that more frequently as well. I work with energy and empathy in my other jobs, so I am able to bring a calm presence for animals and pay attention to their energy when caring for them. I value consent-based interaction, so I allow animals to warm up to me before petting them. I have flexible work, so I can arrange to stay with your pets or drop in at your convenience. One of my jobs works well with being at home, so I can stay put. I tend to lock doors, being familiar with city living. Integrity and trust are paramount to me, so you can trust that I will treat your home well and honor any areas you don't want me to be in. I know it's a lot to trust a stranger in your home while you are away -- I am happy to provide references and other information to make you feel safe. You know your pet best, so I pay attention to how you make sure your pets stay inside to keep it that way. I am always happy to text updates and pictures :)
“Richard took such great care of my cats for ten days! He was extremely responsive and even volunteered to stop and pick up litter for the girls when he noticed they were low! Highly recommend and will be rebooking for both cat care and dog walks!”
“Noah is a caring soul who my sensitive cat liked right away -- cats can tell! He is super reliable, spent time interacting with my cat, and I've already booked him for when I'm out of town again. I'm very glad to have found such a good, local pet-sitter.”

“Nikki was wonderful to our four kitties. She kept us in the loop every step of the way, sending us thoughtful messages about how they were doing, as well as lots of fabulous pictures.”
“Annie was a gem for a care taker for my blacklab! She was punctual, caring, very dependable and took care of my dog like he was her own. And she took great care while we were stuck out of state in our recent snow storm giving us extra time when we needed. I would highly recommended Annie and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“I instantly felt like my kitties were in good hands! Kaitlen was very accommodating and super sweet with my cats. Great sitter! Definitely will recommend and ask again in the future! 😃”
“Aemelia was great. We and our puppies really enjoyed interacting with her. She was able to accommodate our last minute needs and was very cool about it. We will for sure be contacting her again and again.”
About: I've loved and cared for dogs for most of my life, and currently have a Chihuahua mix named Chico and a cat named Frankie. I'm a good-hearted and easygoing person excited to spend my free time with some lovable pooches! Chico is an 11-year-old rescue, who loves ice cream and burying himself in blankets. He is a little guy but has tons of energy, and loves to make friends with all people or other dogs. Frankie is a snoozy indoor cat, but still loves playing with Chico when they are together. On all of my bookings, I like to provide constant attention to your pet to ensure they have as much care as possible. With the pets I've met so far, it was always a ton of fun hanging out with them, and I would love to meet some more furry friends and owners soon! I currently work from home full time in the healthcare industry. I am looking to offer sitting services in my free time, but can likely be flexible with my schedule. Safety for all pets is my biggest priority, whether they are my own or yours. I’m open to any information that would make your pets feel more comfortable, and would love to answer any questions during a meet and greet before a service.
“Kaitlyn did an excellent job with my cat. She was very communicative, always took pictures, and took care of everything I asked and more! I felt great leaving my cat in her hands!”
About: What does a Disney princess, & dr.dolittle have in common with me? Animals tend to trust & understand us. I find happiness in caring for animals & understand the guilt when you have to go somewhere without your companion. I’m reliable, communicative & take really great photos I’d love to share with you! I work remote, and would like to utilize my abilitity to be home during my breaks and lunch hour, to assist other with their animal care needs. Happy to follow your schedule & system that works in your home. I understand consistency with your companion & keeping in contact so you’re aware of everything that’s happening while you’re away. I understand that piece of mind is everything.
“Excellent service. Reliable and understanding and quick responses to any questions. We felt very confident when we were away that our 2 cats were under great care with Eryn. She is a very sweet person!”
“Lindsey was fantastic! She cared for our two kitties while we were on vacation for 10 days, and everything was perfect. The cats had an stress-free time and getting to see her notes with photos was wonderful. Highly recommend!”
“Hallie did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats. I would absolutely hire Hallie again. She sent photos each visit and kept us well informed each day about the cats. She was in regular communication.”
About: I am a certified vet tech with about 15 years experience. Additional years for pet ownership. I have been with animals my whole life and have dedicated the rest of my life to help to take care of them and make them happy. I can administer any type of medication, give subcutaneous fluids, or snuggle. Monday through Thursday I work from 7-5. I can do home visits three times daily on those days. Fridays and weekends are more flexible. My children are active participants in taking care of animals as they have been exposed to different types of pets with different demeaners. They understand to give pets their boundaries when they need their space. I have a fenced in yard for my active greyhound. I also have two cats who have automatic feeders and water fountains. My cats are older ladies so they don’t want to play but they are wonderful snugglers. My greyhound loves attention and his favorite is butt scratches. The foster pets that I would take care of would have their own safe space to be comfortable in my home.
About: Hi, I'm Julissa (joo-lee-sah)! I am 31 years old and have had pet dogs for my entire life. I used to volunteer at a shelter walking dogs and completed the orientation that went over recognizing animal body language. I am basically the designated pet sitter for my family and have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes (and some cats and small animals). Petsitting has become my main work at the moment, so I will be available as needed for any bookings to check in, play, feed, walk, and care for your pets. I regularly pet and house sit for friends and family and can adjust to the routines your pets are used to. I am always careful to follow any directions provided and make sure any gates, harnesses, leashes, etc. are secured. I do require meet & greets before confirming any bookings, not just to make sure your pets are fine with me, but so that pet owners and I can get a feel for each other as well and make sure we're all a good fit!
“Sarah did great job taking care of my two kitties, and sent very reassuring updates and cute photos every visit. I really felt like they were in good hands the entire time I was gone.”
Elmwood cat parents share their Rover experiences
Kaitlyn took care of my cat, finch and hens while I travelled this winter. Coming every two days, my cat was always excited to see her. She kept him content, well fed and the litter box cleaned. The birds were equally well taken care of. She consistently came when she said she would. Will definitely hire her again.
