We will keep asking Andrea to help us with our kitties until the end of time. She has great communication with us and she delivers oral meds to our stubborn cat with no complaints. Our cats are always cared for and loved when Andrea visits. Highly recommend booking with Andrea!

Stacey P. did an excellent job of caring for my elderly dog. She was willing to give him his medication and she followed my care instruction. Stacey goes above and beyond in her service. This is the second time I’ve booked her and I would definitely book her again. Highly recommended!

Our kitty was well cared for, and although she's a shy cat, she seemed to really warm up to Julianne over the course of the week that we were gone.

Jenna is literally the best sitter we've ever had <3. She took care of our cat Scrunchie for a week and we'll definitely rebook her in the future. She was super thorough, sent detailed updates during every visit, and took a ton of pics and really cute videos that we loved. Our cat is very picky about humans and she absolutely LOVED Jenna! Can't say enough great things about her -- Jenna is the best!!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a side job. I helped raise a litter of kittens growing up, got a dog when I was 13 and have been his primary caregiver ever since, handling everything from daily walks and playtime to training and making sure he stays happy and healthy. Growing up around animals taught me that every pet has a unique personality and needs individualized attention. I strive to provide the same level of care, patience, and affection that I give my own pets, so owners can feel confident that they are in good hands. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I have been caring for my own dog since I was 13, so daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure he stays happy and healthy are second nature to me. I also grew up with cats, which taught me the importance of providing individualized attention and maintaining a consistent routine. Because caring for animals has always been a part of my life, I enjoy incorporating pet sitting into my schedule and making sure each pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Creating a safe and trustworthy environment in a client's home is one of my top priorities. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big responsibility, so I strive to respect each owner's routines, instructions, and preferences. I make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and closely supervised, while keeping owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to provide a calm, reliable presence so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident while they're away.

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’ve had both dogs and cats since I was 2 years old so I grew up learning to love and take care of animals! Aside from my home, I grew up around my aunt’s farm where we have anything from donkeys to chickens. It’s safe to say I’ve always been an animal lover! I’ve experienced anything from typical pet routines to those with special needs that require extra care and attention. I have experience with both puppies/kittens as well as senior pets and I love dogs of all breeds and sizes! I’ve been pet sitting for others through friends and family for about 3 years since I started college and thought I’d give Rover a try! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of extra time to care for your pet! I am available mornings, nights, and weekends. Overnight care would need an advanced notice. My goal is to customize my care to fit your needs, wants, and requests. I know leaving your furry friends at home is never easy so I try my best to make that process as comfortable as possible for both pet and owner. Following your pets normal routine is my priority so they can enjoy their stay and you can enjoy your time away!

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was a young child and grew up in a household with several dogs, so I understand that pets are truly family members. I am committed to providing loving, reliable care tailored to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, administering medications, or providing extra attention and comfort for senior dogs, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m currently working full time 8:30am-5pm, but I anticipate having more availability during the day in the near future! Best availability would be evenings and weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment and always follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions carefully. I understand that every dog has unique needs and personalities, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have the peace of mind when you’re away!

About: I have been able to take care of animals (dogs and cats) since age 5 as I had pets throughout my whole life. I have also briefly owned horses building the skillset of hygiene care for larger animals. I absolutely love dogs. I have had experience with small dogs all the way up to English Mastiff and Ridgeback sizes. I have been a helpful pet sitter for many family members and some friends. I absolutely love animals and plan to incorporate them into my therapeutic process with clients in the future. Please send them my way and I will give them all the love and empathy while you're away and as needed! I am a graduate student with an internship which entails the need for a daily routine. I am more flexible for weekends and holidays, and I am also willing to make other days work given enough time notice in advance. I love to be outside year-round, especially fall and winter, so I will be active with animals in snow/cold or sunshine which means walks and playing! I have three cats who have everything they need including love and grooming! I have a three-legged cat who requires more care for hygiene and grooming, so he gets lion cuts every so often. All of my cats get treats and are spoiled with love. I am flexible and willing to work around whatever is needed for safety and the environment. I would prefer to do house visits and drop-ins to feed/let outside, etc. I would need to be provided equipment like leashes, crates, food bowls, food, etc. I do not want to disrupt your pet's routine or familiarity of their own materials.

Ciara goes above and beyond when taking care of my boys. From her detailed check ins assuring me all is okay to her genuine care and enthusiasm for animals, she is by far the best sitter I have had (and I’ve had many!). I can enjoy going away because I know the boys are in good hands and my place is taken care of. She is also just lovely and has a great attitude. Cannot recommend her enough!!!

Heather did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away. She followed all of our instructions carefully, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. Dylan can be tricky when it comes to taking his pill, but Heather was able to give it to him without any issues, which was such a relief for us. We came home to two happy cats and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!

Celeste was communicative, reliable, and flexible when my plane was delayed and I got home later than expected. Two of my dogs are seniors and they can be a little extra work, which Celeste was very kind about. She sent pictures and even mopped the kitchen floor which I was not expecting. Most importantly, my dogs were happy and safe when I camd home. Thank you Celeste!
