Leo was a fantastic pet sitter! I would definitely book with Leo again. He was reliable and was amazing with my kitten. My kitten was on medication and he did fantastic at administering them. I could tell when I came home that my kitten was well cared for!

Nicole took great care of my home and kitties. For example, she checked with my about an appliance that had been left on and updated me about one cat'sovergrooming although I hadn't expected that from a sitter. I felt very confident in her judgement and attention to my cats and hope she is always available when I go out of town.

Emily is a PHENOMENAL cat sitter! I cannot recommend her services enough! Great price point and super flexible with availability. I used Rover for the first time recently and during Emily's 1-hour visit with my cat, she provided ample photos of him as well as thorough notes on her visit (including notes on things he knocked over, his affect, ensuring his Litter Robot was working, etc.). During my time away, my cat had thrown up over a night that a friend checked in on and I reached out to Emily immediately to see if she could squeeze in a last-minute 30-minute visit the following day. She was (once again) thorough with her notes and photos. If you're an anxious pet owner, Emily is the right sitter for you. I plan on reaching out to Emily for her services next time my cat has to be home alone!

About: I love caring for my dogs! Growing up, we always had a family dog, so I’ve become very attached to fur babies. Currently, I have two adorable dogs that I adopted overseas and brought to the US because they are my forever babies! I would also love to take your fur buddies for a walk, play with them at the park, and care for them the same way I care for mine. I work late shifts, so I’m available to drop by in the mornings and usually in the evenings. I’m more flexible on weekends and can adjust to your needs as necessary. I recently moved into an apartment, so I don’t have a yard for my dogs to run around. Luckily, there’s a nearby dog park, and we go there almost every day as long as the weather permits. I make sure my dogs get the daily exercise they need, even when they don’t get to play at the park. A 30‑minute to one‑hour walk is never an issue for us! Unfortunately, I’m unable to care for your dogs in my home because my babies were traumatized by encounters with other dogs. On multiple occasions, they were approached by unleashed dogs while we were walking, and they’ve been very defensive ever since.

Shannon did an AMAZING job helping us when we needed a last minute drop in visit. She took such good care of our pup, providing lots of play, cuddles, and not giving up when our front door was a pain to unlock and I was being terrible about checking my phone. Couldn't reccomend more!

This was the first time I’ve ever used a pet sitter I did not know personally, and I was admittedly nervous! Laurie exceeded far beyond any expectations I had and I would absolutely recommend her one million times over! She treated my kitties like her own and went above and beyond taking extra special care when one of them decided to have some tummy troubles while we were away. Her daily updates were detailed and exactly on time. She is extremely thorough and very caring! I will use her again every single time in the future!

Guiselle took a great care of my cat Hummer during her drop in visits. She kept me updated with photos and messages which gave me peace of mind. Guiselle had an instant connection with Hummer and he clearly enjoyed her company. I will happily book with Guiselle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Constanza is truly EXCEPTIONAL! I have entrusted her with the care of my furry family multiple times, this last time for almost two months while I was out of the country. She genuinely loves my cats and provides heartfelt, loving care to them in my absence. I am so appreciative to her for her kindness and dedication. She goes above and beyond every time, and I am deeply grateful. Thank you again, Constanza!

I would like to thank Emily for the amazing pet sitting services she provided while I was away for two weeks. I was quite anxious because this was the first time I had been separated from Otto. Throughout the entire experience, Emily was incredibly understanding, communicated with me daily, and patiently adapted to my cat's shy personality. My main priorities were making sure Otto was eating well and using his litter box normally, and I’m happy to say that everything went smoothly. Emily's care and attention gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I look forward to requesting her services again in the future whenever needed. Thank you Emily! I truly appreciate everything you did for both Otto and me.
