Elisabeth took incredible care of my cat while I was away! I got plenty of photos and she was even kind enough to give in to his daily demands to be brushed. It was such a relief to know he was well taken care of while I was gone for two weeks. Elisabeth was able to step in and extend her visits when my return trip was delayed for a day. Highly recommended!

Alyssa was so amazing with my fur babies. She sent daily photos and was extremely communicative. Also cleaned up behind them when they were being a bit naughty (knocked over plants lol) Ultimately, I came home to a clean litter box and extremely happy kittens. I am certain they will miss her and I intend to rebook with Alyssa in the future.

Courtney is amazing!!! Sierra did really well with Courtney during her visits. She responded quickly to our requests, kept us informed throughout the visits, worked with Sierra's training during her walk, and made sure she was fed. We're grateful she accepted the booking with short notice during our family Xmas visit. Really recommend her if you're looking for an expert sitter.

About: I've grown up with pets my entire life and have had 2 of my own dogs. They both had medical issues so I am very familiar with administering medications and preparing special meals. My home is currently pet-free and I would be so happy to spend time with your dog while you're away. I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I currently work part time and always have Wednesdays and Fridays-Sundays off. I also have some Tuesdays off, and if I do work on Tuesdays it is only from 8-2. Mondays can be discussed. My house has a fully fenced in backyard and I never leave dogs outside unattended. Dogs are welcome to snuggle on my furniture and in bed with me if they like. If your dog is crate trained, feel free to bring their crate or I have a large one they can use. There are no other dogs or children in my home so your dog gets my full attention!

About: Hi! I’m Katy! I am a veterinary assistant working at McClelland Small Animal Hospital, and I’m pet sitting not only due to my love of animals, but to use the extra funds to help pay for my dream wedding! I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’m so fortunate to be able to help care for others' pets every day. I will love and treat your critters like they are my own, as taking care of animals is truly my passion. I currently work full time at an animal hospital and own 3 dogs, 2 cats, a crab, and even a jumping spider, so pet care is truly second nature to me. When I’m entrusted in caring for your pet and your home, I will be there all night and in the morning before I head into work. I will check on them during my lunch hour so they can have a potty break, lunch (if needed), play time, cuddles, and plenty of attention, before I'm back with them right after my work day. I'm always incredibly respectful of my clients homes, ensuring things are just as neat and tidy (if not more so) than they were when I arrived. Mail will be brought in, trash taken out, and bed linens cleaned. You're on a vacation, why worry about cleaning up when you get home?! The animal hospital I work for has a boarding facility for dogs and cats. When I’m not caring for others pets at work, I’m tending to my menagerie at home! As the owner of pets who have trouble being removed from their “safe space,” you can rest easy knowing that your pets will receive plenty of love and care in the place they feel the most comfortable. During a meet and greet, I come prepared with an information sheet to fill out so that I can make sure I cater to each pets specific needs. Everything from feeding times, food sensitivities, and jotting down your pets favorite toys and activities!

Kelsey did such an amazing job with our cat! Like most cats he needs a little time to warm up and she was so patient with him. He was loving all the playtime he got and by the end even crawled into her lap for attention. Her updates and pictures were detailed and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing our cat was happy, healthy, and enjoying time with Kelsey. The next time we need a sitter we'll definitely be booking with her again!

Jennifer went above and beyond when taking care of Arlo, by not only ensuring he was fed but that he had enough play time and attention while I was gone. I would recommend booking her if you need someone reliable and with flexibility. Plus, she'll take a lot of cute photos of your pet!

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or just keeping them company, I treat every pup like family. Friends and neighbors trust me to care for their pets with patience, love, and attention to detail. I work full-time in person downtown from 9-5 on weekdays, but my mornings and evenings are dedicated to activity. I am up at 7am every morning for a walk and head back out again at 6pm. I am totally free before and after work during the week, and my weekends are very flexible if you need me to be around all day for your pet! I care for every animal as if they were my own. My top priority is earning their trust and making them feel safe and secure. Having worked with anxious animals in the past, I understand that meeting new faces can be scary, so I focus on building a respectful bond at their pace. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure a calm and attentive environment.

Brianna was excellent. She took great care of my two cats, gave one her medications, took note of any vomit, kept the litter clean and water filled, and spent the full visits keeping them company and playing with them. I couldn't ask for more.

Ciara was super responsive and helpful when I needed a new cat sitter on really short notice! She wanted to know absolutely everything abt my cat's routine to make him as comfortable as possible while I was gone, and he loved her so much even though he's often pretty skittish around new people. I got lots of photos and detailed reports every day, she was really attentive to his behavior and making sure he was okay, and overall was just fantastic!

About: I am 31 years old I have always dog and cat sat for my friends. I have a 1.5 year old cat named Nugget that I rescued! I love taking care of animals and helping others! I am friendly and will love and care for all animals. I am training for my third half marathon so I would love to run and play with your dog to help get my body moving and letting them play and explore! I as well love taking photos and am always willing to take pictures of your pet to keep you updated! If needed I will keep you up to date with how the pets are doing! I am also very clean and love cleaning! So if anything else is needed I am willing to help out!! My current role is a hybrid role so I can WFH when ever I would like! I do sometimes have late night meetings but usually they’re advised a few days in advance. I care for my cat with love and attentiveness! I would bring that same attentiveness to your pets as well! If I am house sitting I will also try to do all the clean up needed of the home and after the pet! I would show them all the love you'd give them while you're away!

It was a wonderful experience to have Lana look over our three cats. She very quickly became friends with all three even two that are normally very reserved with new people. She went above and beyond with live updates, photos and videos. Made me feel totally happy that the fellas were in good hands while we were away. Would ? recommend Lana to anyone needing Roger services. I totally love this app/service and how it can connect you with people like Lana who are so good with our furry friends. ?

Elisabeth was absolutely incredible at taking care of our cat. I didn't have to worry for a second while we were on vacation because I knew he was in good hands. She sent lots of pictures and clear feedback and even wrote us an endearing note about her time with our boy. Absolutely would use her services again and again.
