“Elena took great care of our kitties while we were away, making sure they were clean, fed, and watered. She also provided great photos and notes to keep us updated on how things went. I highly recommend Elena for drop-in visits and would be happy to work with her again!”
“I recently had Sara come over to meet with my dog. It was obvious she is an animal person right away. She asked a lot of questions and wanted to make sure my dog would be well cared for. A last minute schedule change by me but she was able to do two 1-hour drop-in visits. She kept me in the loop on arrival, sent pictures of my smiling dog, a summary of how the visit went, and then when she was leaving. She did a fantastic job. Very trustworthy and I definitely plan on hiring her again to pet sit.”
“Allison is the best! She was reliable and responsible and took great care of my babies! Getting updates and photos when I was so far away was so great. I knew they were well taken care of!”
“Halligan is great with my old guy! Understands his gentle needs, is patient with him and is able to give medication if needed or asked! 1000% recommend Halligan for anybody!”
“Maddy was great. Was our first experience with Rover and not much experience with how our dogs would act during visits. She handled everything with ease and kept us informed after each visit.”
About: Hi, I'm Kat, I love all animals but I have an affinity for dogs, especially small ones. I've taken care of cats & dogs for more than 20 years. I've recently lost my baby boy Max (my Shih Tzu) to cancer, we're not ready to get another dog but am ready to help watch your dog and shower him/her with all the love/kisses they want. I'm available to watch your pup within 24hr notice. We don't have a fence yard but am willing and I enjoy walking dogs. We live in a very walkable town with nice wide sidewalks for your pup & I to go explore the neighborhood. I will treat your pet as if it was my own.
“Doris is very punctual and efficient! I know my pets are in good hands!! Trustworthy and dependable. My dogs are very fearful of strangers and can appear aggressive to the wrong person. Doris knew EXACTLY what to do to decrease their fear and increase their comfort with her. I will definitely use her again!”
“I highly recommend Audrey for any pet sitting needs! She stopped by twice a day to care for my three cats while I went on vacation. I received pictures from her from each drop-in along with an update about how the drop-in went! I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her hands!”
“Michael came 3 times a day for over a week for an hour at a time. He took time to spend with each of our 3 older dogs individually and sent multiple photos each time we was at our home. He gave in real time updates on food, bathroom breaks and ensured he gave each dog their medication. He brought our trash cans up our driveway, and brought it our mail before we even reached out to ask, and even took a photo of bees getting into our home while we were away in which we were able to prepare for before we returned from our vacation. He was wonderful for us and from the looks of our blink camera taking some videos in real time, the dogs loved him as well!! We will be requesting Michael each time we take a trip as we feel incredibly comfortable with his care.”
About: I've had animals all my life. At the moment I have 3 cats. But I'm my past I've had dogs that lived to 12, 17, and 14. I look forward to meeting your pets. I work from home a lot and am often available to let your pets out, feed them, walk them. Please be clear and upfront about your animal if it shows any aggression or anxiety with strangers. I would like to meet you and your animal before the first visit. I'm a trustworthy person. I would feel most comfortable meeting you and your pet before my first visit without you home. I would like to think this would make you more comfortable as well.
About: I have taken care of all different pets from puppies to seniors, big to small, active or cuddly. With some senior care experience or special needs. I am currently working part time and have availability on Tuesdays for walks or cuddle sessions. Boarding available on weekends but can be flexible if needed. We have a fenced in yard or a tie out, whichever you are comfortable with. Have a friendly dog that does go to Daycare and gets along well with others.
About: ** Please contact me to see what city I'm in** I’ve been helping friends and family with pet sitting for over 10 years. Dogs, cats, young, old, mellow, energetic, you name it. I’ve handled feeding routines, daily walks, basic training, and even some light meds. I tend to adapt to each pet’s personality, whether that means playtime in the yard or quiet companionship around the house. After a workplace injury led to a layoff from my tech job, I decided to take some time to travel, visit family & friends across the country, and shift into remote work. Pet sitting fits perfectly into this new chapter of life! I’ve got the flexibility to take it seriously and the calm presence that helps animals feel safe. Most pets warm up to me pretty quickly, and I enjoy their company just as much! **Please contact me to see what city I'm in - My profile may not have updated** Since I’m traveling full-time and working remotely on my own projects, I have a pretty open schedule and can plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding routine, getting in a few walks, or just being around to keep them company, I’m usually nearby and available. I’m not rushing out to an office or juggling a bunch of local obligations, so your pets get a lot of attention and care. I treat every home with care and respect. Like a guest who knows the rules… I don’t go into rooms I don’t need to, and I always follow any guidelines or preferences the owner shares. I clean up after myself, stick to the pet’s routine, and do what I can to keep the home safe and comfortable while you're away. That includes things like bringing in packages, taking out the trash, and keeping everything looking lived-in so the place doesn’t appear empty.
About: I started out caring for neighbor's pets as a young teen. I went on to work for a petsitting service in my late teens and 20s where I had the pleasure of looking after cats and dogs of all shaped and sizes. I am self-employed with a flexible schedule. I'm happy to come by for drop in visists, dog walks, or feedings. I'm available many weekends as well! My services will be primarily dog walking and drop in visits so I will be happy to let your dog roam the designated outdoor areas at your home or take them on your preferred dog walking routes.
About: I have 10+ years caring for many types of animals: dogs, cats, guinea pigs and fish/frogs. I have cared for animals in all stages from puppies and kittens to animals in the last stages of their lives. I also have experience with medicating animals as needed. I'm currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I look forward to doing pet care in my off hours, Monday - Sunday, whenever I might be needed. I am very familiar with having to use collars, harnesses, and leashes for larger breed dogs. I'm also familiar with the special requirements of smaller breed dogs; I have experience with feeding, cleaning faces, and wrinkles for dogs that need extra care etc. as with the basics such as watering, making sure gates are closed
About: I've cared for cats and dogs since I was a young child with interests in becoming a vet. Although I did not pursue that career path, I have 3 years experience as a Veterinary Assistant and many more years experience caring for and fostering special needs animals. Working with shelters as a trained foster pet-parent, I also have experience in socializing undersocialized and highly anxious pets. I currently live with my two special needs cats (Otis and Georgie). I also foster cats, so there may be other house-mates around. I currently work a flexible schedule that allows me to work from home. My schedule can usually be adjusted for pets that need more care. I have cat/dog friendly cats that can keep your pet company, if they like to socialize. For shy cats that prefer solitude, I have a second room just for them!

She sends me updates (with pictures) about how they’re doing, will interact with them, and make sure they have everything they need. She is not like other sitters that come and go super quickly - she will play with them to make sure that they are still being socialized when I am gone! 10000/10 experience!”
