“Jess did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She took the time to understand what he did and didn’t like, and was patient while he warmed up to her. Would definitely recommend Jess for any pet sitting services!”

“Karli was great! She was really thorough with daily updates and to my surprise, my apprehensive natured cats, felt very comfortable to interact with her. Thanks again, Karli!”

About: While I’m beginning my professional pet care journey, I’ve been around animals my entire life — including cats, dogs, turtles, and more — and I’m very comfortable providing loving, compassionate, high-quality care. I’m intuitive, empathetic, detail-oriented, and a strong communicator, which I believe are all important qualities when caring for animals. I understand how important it is to place your pets in trustworthy hands, and I’ll always treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I’m not just there to complete tasks — I genuinely love animals and enjoy bonding with them, making sure they feel loved, comforted, and cared for while their humans are away. Whether your pet needs a fun, active environment or a calm and relaxing space, I’m happy to accommodate their unique personality and needs to help them feel happy, safe and comfortable while in my care. Thank you for considering me! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! :) I have a very flexible schedule as someone who creates my own work hours, which allows me to accommodate many different schedules and give your pet plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I care for your pets in your home with the same love, attention, and respect that I would give my own. I greet them warmly and offer plenty of pets, cuddles, affection, and companionship based on their individual personality and comfort level. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, playtime, and any additional accommodations or care requested. For pets who require walks, I ensure they are safely harnessed and comfortable while allowing them time to explore and sniff at their own pace. I stay attentive to their surroundings, prioritize their safety around other animals, and make sure they remain comfortable in all weather conditions — never too hot or too cold. My goal is always to help your pets feel safe, cared for, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. :)
“Annabel is fantastic! She took great care of my furball and I am grateful for the nice notes and pics while I was gone. It was nice to come home see a happy kitty, and know he was cuddled and had playtime everyday too. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been volunteering with shelter dogs for almost a decade in many capacities-walking, fostering, and training. As a stay-at-home-mom with a son newly in school I’m looking to fill my days with more dog buddies! I’ve owned two senior sweeties and now a puppy, so I have lots of age range experience. I also have practice walking strong pullers and reactive dogs. I treat all dogs like my own family! Most of my availability is in the mornings before noon or in the evenings after 5 on weekdays. Weekends I am available most of the time! However, I have a flexible schedule so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any requests! I offer limited dog boarding in my home-I will only board one dog at a time and they should be good with dogs and kids! I have a fenced yard, a VERY friendly young dog, and lots of availability for walks. Dogs can be crated if needed, and are allowed on all furniture (including the bed) to make them feel as at home as possible.
“Parisa is fabulous! We trust her with our pet rabbits whenever we travel. We know our babies are safe and in good hands. We have had emergency situations when travelling and she went above and beyond to help us. She is simply the best!”

“We are very pleased with our first drop in with Jackie. Our dog is very anxious around all people and Jackie understood Nabi’s special needs, was on time and very communicative! We will be requesting more drop-ins with Jackie!”


“Arlene has watched our dogs several times over the past year. She takes such great care of them, and it’s amazing to not have to worry about the dogs while we are gone!”


“My cats are usually out-of-sight as soon as unfamiliar people are over, but both were immediately drawn to Angelica's gentle and low-key vibe. I met a couple of other Rovers and pretty much let my cats choose their sitter. Angelica was very responsible and took perfect care of them, sending sweet pictures of my little guys while I was gone. Charlie and Fanon were happy and relaxed when I returned home. I'm so happy to have hired her to care for them, thank you, Angelica!”

“Ellie was excellent, I totally recommend her. I was out of town for a week and Ellie took care of my cat while I was out. She came twice a day to feed him, check his water fountain, clean his litter box and play with him. Ellie was very detailed in her daily reports and sent 8 pictures along with each report which gave me a sense of relief each time, knowing that my cat was being well taken care of. I’ll for sure contact Ellie again whenever I need to travel again.”
“Dan was a much appreciated help with my 2 cats while I was out of the country for 2 weeks! He was attentive and provided great descriptions and photos after each visit. Cannot recommend his services enough, will definitely go to him again next time.”

About: Your pets deserve more than just a sitter; they deserve someone who genuinely loves them. I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals, and for more than a decade I’ve turned that passion into a profession as a dog walker and cat sitter, while volunteering at local shelters along the way. I’ve cared for every personality under the sun including the shy ones, the wild ones, the velcro dogs, the aloof cats, and I love them all. What sets me apart? I treat every pet like my own. Not as a catchphrase, but as a promise. Accommodating each pet’s individual needs comes naturally to me, and every animal I care for gets the same love and attention I’d give my own. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety are always my top priority. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, experienced, and truly passionate about animals, you’ve found them. I hope to meet your pet very soon! I work from home during the week, so my schedule is pretty flexible! For drop-in visits and walks, I’m available after 4pm on weekdays and anytime during weekends. During our meet and greet, we can discuss all the ins and outs of your pets needs! Depending on the service, how I care for your pet in your home is variable. Dog walking includes 25 minutes outside, and 5 minutes inside for a little time to refresh their water, and playtime, or cuddle time, depending on what your dog is feeling! Cat visits inside, I tend to go by what one communicates during our meet and greet. Usually it will include cuddles, water refresh, and/or playtime. I will always take my shoes off, and double check to see if I locked your door correctly! :)

Keri was so great with our 4 cats. She took such great care of them. There were some detailed feeding instructions and she followed them completely. She opened the windows for the cats while she was there (weather permitting per my request)so they could watch the birds. When out wifi went out she helped us out with rebooting the router. She was able to get the visits in when the weather was really bad. Great communication and we loved the daily pics she sent. She was so wonderful with our cats, we could not have been happier.

Karli was very easy to communicate with and professional for our last minute booking. She provided thorough check-ins and took great care of our cats. Usually they’re timid with new sitters, but they were present and engaged during her drop-in visits. We look forward to using her again.

Jo was great, patient, and very knowledgeable. Our dog is scared of people but Jo handled the situation perfectly and was playing with our normally-nervous dog in no time! She was also very professional and kind. So grateful to find someone that we can trust with our pups!

Hannah has been an absolutely wonderful pet sitter. They are always quick to respond when I reach out about a job, consistently show up when they say they will, and go above and beyond every time. Hannah is an incredibly strong communicator, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s clear they genuinely care about both the pets and the people they work with. I would highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy to care for their animals.

Always attentive and takes great care of our cats. Multiple repeat bookings from us. This last trip had a few bumps: our home lost power & our computer battery backup failed causing an alarm. Elijah contacted us and collectively corrected it. Then she alerted us to people in our yard, turns out it was the neighbors watering our vegetables. But these are great examples of how Elijah shows she really cares & is proactive.

After reviewing Beth’s profile, I knew my husband and I found a good fit for our cat Greyleigh. All of our instructions were followed, and Grey seemed to warm up to Beth as the days went on! We appreciate the attentiveness and care that Beth showed Greyleigh during the drop-ins. We’ll definitely be booking with Beth in the future!
Paola is very sweet and also stayed longer on a few occasions which Hans and I both appreciated! The visits were a bit later than the agreed-upon windows but that was communicated. She sent lots of nice photos and videos. Thank you again for your kindness and care!!

MELINA IS THE BEST! I was gone for two weeks and she made daily visits to my fur baby. Mind you my cat isn’t the friendliest but she made sure he was well fed and looked after. She was so patient and friendly and made the process so smooth. She sent me photos and updates daily that made me feel so relieved being out of town for so long. Definitely rebooking her each time and recommending her to everyone!!! You fur baby is safe with her! Thank you so much Melina!! 10/10
