“Whitney is the best! She communicated, sent pictures, updated me. She helped me tremendously when I recently went on a rescue team to Asheville for the hurricane! She was great with my three pets, I would highly recommend!! 😊 thank you so much Whitney!”


“We were very satisfied with Paola. She was easy to get along with and she was very calm with our active dog. We would book her again when she is available. Rita and Paige Tuttle”



“We had the absolute best experience with Viridianne looking after our cat while we were away for an extended period of time. Communication was above and beyond, which made us feel so comfortable being away from our cat. She’s dependable and obviously loves animals! We will definitely ask for her services in the future when we are away ☺️”


“Katherine was absolutely fantastic both with our pup (a small lab mix) and at keeping us updated! We were away for four days and it was clear Scrabble had a great time. She sent daily updates and photos, including one of the cutest photos we’ve ever seen of our dog, and we had a great trip knowing he was in such good hands.”


“Alexander stayed at my house and took care of my dog who is 18 years old! Alexander took great care of him and sent me updates to let me know everything was ok. I have complete trust in Alexander for pet care and house sitting. Highly recommend!”


“Marcus was great with the dogs and was able to work around his schedule to meet and stay with them for an extended time. The house was in good shape when i returned, as were my boys. Very nice guy and worth working with!”


“This is the second time we’ve used Taylor to watch our dog and cats. She has been fantastic and done a great job with all the animals. Shes taken great care of our house too and we highly recommend her to everyone!”


“Meg was awesome. Both of our cats and our dog immediately gravitated towards her. She left the house so clean it was wonderful to come home to. The pets were also nice and calm when we got home indicating they were very well taken care of while we were out of town. We told Meg that she could take our dog on a drive away from our apartment for extra enrichment and she went out of her way to do that! She genuinely loved our pets and they loved her right back.”


About: Hi, I'm Meredith! I am an experienced, caring, and trustworthy petsitter. But don't take my word for it! Here's what others have said: "Meredith truly cared about my pets, and I felt completely at ease being away. As someone who’s very picky about who takes care of my dogs, I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter." "Meredith brought peace of mind, warmth, and reliability to our home. I’d trust her with our pets anytime." "Her calm energy and loving nature were exactly what our anxious rescue needed." "Meredith was fantastic. She cared for our home and animals as if they were her own." I’d love the opportunity to care for YOUR pets and your home! Animals have always been a central part of my life. I grew up in a house full of beloved cats and dogs, and I’ve raised several pets of my own as an adult, so caring for animals is truly second nature. I started pet sitting professionally in my 20s and recently returned to it with renewed passion and dedication. I now have over 7 years of direct pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of hands-on care with animals of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. As a responsible, organized, and nurturing high school English teacher with 20 years in the classroom, I bring calm attentiveness and excellent communication to every sit. I’m also a devoted mom to two kind-hearted, respectful animal lovers (ages 8 and 11), who may occasionally accompany me depending on the arrangement. If they do, rest assured they are gentle, supervised, and bring extra love to the experience. Whether it's administering medication to a senior pet, giving special attention to a rescue, or sticking to your pet’s unique routines and needs, I approach every sit with genuine care and commitment. I’m also experienced in basic training, gentle leash walking, and giving animals the calm, consistent presence they need to feel safe. If you have houseplants, I’ve got you covered there, too. I worked in my family’s garden center for years and enjoy keeping plants healthy and thriving. While I’m newer to this platform, I take each sit seriously and treat every home and pet with the utmost respect. I do not smoke, drink, or use drugs of any kind, and I always bring my own groceries and supplies. Communication is clear before, during, and after the stay, and you'll receive regular updates to give you peace of mind. I’m in a meaningful season of transition and using this time to do something I genuinely enjoy: caring for animals while exploring new places. This work blends my love of travel and nurturing in a way that reflects my values. If you feel we might be a good fit, I’d love to connect virtually or in person, when possible. Looking forward to meeting you and your beloved companions! Pet care is a natural, joyful part of my everyday rhythm. As a longtime teacher and mom, I’m used to creating routines that are structured yet flexible, making it easy to adapt to the unique needs of each pet and home. Whether it’s morning walks, medication schedules, mealtime routines, or play and snuggle time, I build my days around ensuring animals feel safe, loved, and cared for. Because I’m in a season of life where I have more flexibility, I’m able to be fully present with the pets I care for and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, consistency, and calm companionship throughout the day. It’s more than just a task in my routine; it’s a grounding and fulfilling part of my life that I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the routines and environment your pet already knows and loves. I follow all instructions closely, whether that means administering medications, preparing special meals, sticking to walk schedules, or providing quiet companionship. I aim to create a calm, consistent atmosphere that feels safe and nurturing, so your pet can relax while you're away. Also, I treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. I’m clean, organized, and attentive to details, and I always communicate clearly throughout the sit to keep you informed and at ease. If my well-behaved, animal-loving children (ages 8 and 11) accompany me, it’s only with prior agreement, and they are gentle, respectful, and supervised at all times. Above all, I care for each animal as if they were my own, with patience, love, and a genuine commitment to their well-being.


“Tavia was a great sitter for our senior dog, and I'm grateful she was available for my last minute request. She was prompt to both our meet and greet, and to arrive before we left for the airport. We received numerous photos and texts per day updating us, and we came home to a happy pup and clean home. Highly recommended.”


About: I’ve taken care of pets since before I graduated high school for neighbors and family. I still do it which is what brought me here. So I could formally take care of your fur babies. I have taken care of puppies and senior dogs along with cats and kittens. I find myself taking care of pets for my neighbors and loved ones on my free time. I would like to help more people out. Let’s just say my dogs have sweaters and will ask for permission to be on your lap (they’re mini poodles) , very well behaved and cuddly. I will treat yours with just as much love.

About: I’ve had animals of many kinds from tiny to huge growing up. I’d normally house sit for family and friends until I decided to join the Rover crew. I enjoy house sitting as I’ve realized pet are usually more comfortable in their own homes. I have the ability to bathe, walk, feed, and of course play with your pets! I am a part time college student doing majority of my classes online. For the time being my schedule is an empty open book waiting to be filled! I have a huge soft spot for making your pets the happiest they can be while they are with me! If they enjoy the car, cuddling up for a movie, stores, parks, or even just being in the backyard you name it and I’d love to make it happen! They will always be my #1 priority and will be in the best hands.

About: I have taken care of my own pets since I was a little girl. We have had all kinds of animals from small breed yorkies, medium breed Boston terriers, all the way to large breed bloodhounds. We also have one loving cat I’ve taken care of from the day we got her almost 15 years ago! I have sat for my family and friends with their animals while on vacations or long work days while I was in high school. I have experience in raising a puppy all the way down to helping senior pets into there final days. I have been told that I’m an animal whisperer that even the uncommon animals that only have their few favorite people warm up to me instantly! I have free time after work and on the weekends that I would love to spend with someone’s furry babies to help them have an easier time while on vacations or anytime they’re away from the home for longer than comfortable leaving there babies alone. When caring for other families animals I like to have a run down of their typical day and a list to make sure their routine is interrupted as minimum as possible. In my home, we do breakfast and potty breaks first thing in the morning. We play a little before work then get treats and tucked in for the day. Once I get home we do potty break and play time until dinner time. I know how important a routine can be for an animals comfort and the parents.

“Raeann was wonderful with my dog and cat! She took such great care of my very senior dog who needed extra attention. I’m so grateful to her for keeping my worries down so I could relax and have a great vacation.”
