“We have had Caroline as our sitter pretty consistently over the last year, and honestly I would not use anyone else. She is incredible with my cats, and even my most shy one has really taken to her. It was one of our cats birthdays over the time we were away, and she brought a treat for him (and all the other cats as well). She always makes sure to send lots of pictures so we know they are safe and sound, but I am never worried when she is watching them!”



“Nicole is the best!!! We were a little nervous to try Rover for the first time with our two cats, one of which requires daily medication. She was so responsive and loving for our kitties!!! She made the entire experience stress free. We can’t wait to work with her again!”


“We can’t say enough how much we appreciate Breanna’s visit summary and photos! We get so much insight about how our cats are doing, and our cats warm up so quick to her, we know they’re well taken care off while we’re away. Thanks as always Breanna!!!”

“Jennifer was very accommodating to Waffle's habits. It was my first time leaving Waffle overnight since I adopted him, so it was great to know someone reliable was checking in on him.”


“Rachel was awesome! We scheduled a brief phone call before her first visit to talk through logistics, which was very helpful to ensure everything was covered. The visit went according to plan. Rachel provided great pictures, a synopsis on Rover, and even a handwritten note. We would definitely book Rachel again!”


“Autumn was very responsive and reliable. She took care of our cat while we were away for the holidays. We were sent pictures after every visit and our cat seemed to really warm up to her. She responded to requests promptly and helped us check our faucet to make sure the pipes hadn't burst. Overall she was great to work with!”


“My cats love Tammy and responded to her right away, which was very comforting, especially because one of them can be very skittish and aloof. But, Tammy was a big hit.”


About: Experienced and compassionate, I am a dedicated animal sitter with a passion for providing exceptional care for pets. What sets me apart from other sitters is my specialized skill set, including training puppies and expertise in senior pet care. I excel in establishing a strong foundation for good behavior through puppy training techniques and providing gentle and attentive care for senior animals, managing medications and addressing mobility issues. With a personalized approach, I tailor care routines to meet the unique needs of each animal, ensuring their well-being and happiness. Additionally, I am skilled in understanding and interpreting animal behavior, enabling effective communication and building trust. With training in pet first aid and CPR, I am prepared to handle emergencies and prioritize the safety of all animals under my care. I still have school, so it honestly just depends on after 4. After 4 I’m free for the rest if the day, and i need something to do with the rest of my time, and given i have not much better to do i’d prefer to take care and watch over animals! When caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's residence, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for them. In my home, I provide a designated space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I ensure that this area is clean, secure, and equipped with the necessary essentials such as bedding, toys, and food/water bowls. Additionally, I maintain a regular feeding schedule to meet their dietary needs. Exercise and playtime are also integral parts of my care routine, as I engage pets in stimulating activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. If caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure to follow any specific instructions provided, replicating their familiar environment as closely as possible. I make it a point to provide ample affection, attention, and companionship to keep pets happy and emotionally fulfilled during my care sessions. Overall, my approach to pet care revolves around providing a nurturing and loving environment that meets the individual needs of each furry friend.

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 7 years old who recently passed away. I live with my parents who are also fellow animal lovers and love when I pet-sit for friends. It brings life and fun to our household to host your furry friends. I currently work part time waitressing a few nights a week nearby. I am off weekends so I have all that time carved out to take care of pets! I have an unfenced, medium sized open field directly across from my condominium building I can take your pet for potty breaks and play time. I can keep them leashed for their safety. My parents, who I live with, are fellow animal lovers who love spending time with animals. I have a lazy cat who spends most of the day sleeping, but he lives upstairs in our split unit with my parents. My unit is entirely separate from where he resides, so if your pet doesn’t like cats, it’s no problem!

“Andrea was a fantastic cat sitter! She provided high-quality care for my two special-needs cats, including administering twice-daily nose drops with patience and care. She was communicative, kind, and took the time to learn their routines, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”

Dihanna L.
“I’ll never forget the first time Dihanna watched my dog, Milo. He’s a senior Golden Retriever with arthritis and anxiety, especially when I’m away. I was nervous about leaving him for the weekend, but from the moment Dihanna stepped through the door, Milo’s tail was wagging like I hadn’t seen in weeks. Dihanna not only followed his strict medication and feeding schedule, but she also took the time to sit with him on the floor, brushing him gently while talking to him in the calmest voice. She even made him a cozy little fort of blankets when a thunderstorm hit—something I usually do to help him feel safe. She sent daily updates and pictures that truly put my heart at ease. When I got home, Milo was relaxed, happy, and clearly bonded with her. That’s when I knew Dihanna wasn’t just a pet sitter—she’s a genuine animal lover who treats your pets like family.

Jessica D.
“What do you call it when you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place? I wouldn’t know because Jessica made sure that wouldn’t happen. I was in desperate need of a cat sitter when I got called to a mandatory work trip spanning over a couple weeks. Cats take care of themselves for the most part but mine gets so lonely. Jessica made sure he was properly fed, litter box cleaned, and water bowl refreshed. She also sent me some videos of her playing with him, he looked so happy. I can’t thank her enough for the fast reply and doing such a swell job. I highly recommend her but not when I need her again lol. Good ones like this are hard to come by.”
