“Catherine was wonderful! I hired her for drop-in visits for my 4 cats, including a diabetic cat who she gave insulin. She was very kind, sweet with the kitties, and even took the bags of litter out to the trash even though I told her she didn’t need to do that (it’s a bit of a walk to the dumpster.) I’m very happy I hired her for my trip :)”
About: While I don't own a dog, I have been around them all my life, and have never know i dog I didn't love, or didn't love me. Rover has opened doors for me to meet and relate to new people and pets. I am a supervisor at my job and i also am in school as a grad student, so i take responsibility very seriously. As a dog sitter, I view this as an oppurtunity to connect with different people and of course animals. Also, forcing me to get outside and be more active! I would like to be able to walk your dog, complete check ins, and house sit. Unfortunatley, as much as I would like to, I cannot dog board with my current living status. My schedule is very tight, so I do have to limit myself to the number of clients I take on. The more time advance a booking is offered, the more I will be able to adjust my schedule to meet those requirements. I care to the standards of the pet owners, and frequently send pics an updates as well as I ask questions when necessary. I also do my best to go above and beyond when i can!
“Cecilia was great ! very responsive and committed, she genuinely cared about taking good care of our cat, and my shy cat warmed up to her. Would definitely recommend and book her services again when needed.”
“Brianne was amazing while doing drop-ins with our 16-year-old dog, Splotch. She accommodated us last minute when our schedule changed and kept me updated the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Brianne — she was caring, reliable, and attentive, and we would absolutely trust her with Splotch again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I can remember. From house sitting, to walking them, to even taking care of my own dog. I’ve worked with different breeds and ages, and I love them all! I stay at home mostly throughout the week, and I’ve been wanting to get out a couple of times, and this would be the perfect opportunity to take care of your dogs in walking, or dropping by to play! I live in an apartment complex, so I would have to go to where you are to walk/play with your dog, or I could take them to a dog park!
“We were very satisfied with Don. He dropped in everyday to feed our doggies and let them out to do their business. He was very reliable and would send pictures. We highly recommend him.”
About: Hello! My name is Shanice and I would love to take care of your fur baby! I have been taking care of animals specifically dogs ever since I was young. I have a dog of my own that I had ever since he was a puppy and he is 11 years old now so we basically grew up together. Not only I take care of a dog at home I also work with dogs on a daily basis. I work at a dog daycare facility so I feed, monitor, and train. I also work at a vet hospital where I help with the sick animals so you can see that animals are my life. If you have me looking after your fur babies I can guarantee that they are in the best hands. I am available for boarding on Sundays from 2pm to 5am. Wednesday from 2pm to anytime you want. I am also available on Thursdays openly. First I will make sure that they are well fed and well hydrated especially during the summer and have some quality playtime. If you allow me to bathe your pet I will to make sure they are all clean and comfortable.
“She is AMAZING! This was our first time leaving our cats alone and the amount of care Jennifer put in was incredible. She helped them feel safe, loved, and followed all instructions to a T. Definitely a 5 star review from my family.”
“Heather took wonderful care of our kitties once again and we cannot recommend her enough! She is so reliable and communicative, and the cats are always so comfortable with her. We’re so grateful to her for being the BEST pet sitter!”
“Max took great care of my two dogs for 6 days. Was prompt with the visits, took them on occasional walks and kept me updated on the dogs with pictures and feedback.”
About: I have enjoyed caring for dogs for many years through either having one of my own, fostering dogs, volunteering at dog shelters, and dogsitting. I love to play with dogs and going for walks is one of my favorite activities and having a dog to walk with is the best kind of walk ever. I'm a teacher but I will be fully available to help you with your pet needs Monday-Friday this summer, starting on June 8th! I go back to work August 31st. I will do whatever you need me to do for your pet in your home or walking around your home. If you want me to stay and play and give your pet some love, I'm happy to do that. If you need your pet to go out for a walk, I can do that as well.
“Melissa was absolutely great! She worked with me when I need care for my pup pretty much last minute. She kept in contact and kept me at ease during her care for my dog.”
“Andrew did a great job taking care of our our two cats! He followed our instructions and contacted me to let me know the litter robot looked like it was having an issue. He was very helpful and we will definitely ask him to watch our pets again.”
“Theresa was wonderful! She took great care of our kitties when we were away. Kept us updated with photos and descriptions of her visits. Very responsive via text/email. Will happily book again!”
“Monika was absolutely fantastic! She stepped in on short notice to watch my female German Shepherd for three days, doing drop-in visits in our home, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My dog clearly had an amazing time - she loved her walks and came back happy and relaxed. Monika kept me at ease the entire time by sending regular photos and status updates, which I really appreciated. I felt completely comfortable knowing my baby was in such caring and trustworthy hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!”
“She took care of my Kitties last minute, and one of them I adopted a week ago and they weren't quite on hospitable terms yet. She allowed them to interact gently while being ready to separate in case of throwing paws. She also followed special feeding directions for my elderly cat who needs stuff mixed in and her pate in an extra soupy mash.”
“Catherine took wonderful care of our two cats and fish. She was very attentive to their needs and sent us updates and pictures every day. She went above and beyond to even bring in mail while we were away. We are very grateful she was taking care of our cats and would reccomend her service to anyone considering pet sitting.”
“If you're looking for someone who truly cares, Jessica is the one! She’s incredibly responsive and has such a gentle, loving touch with our elderly dog. I trust her completely and will definitely keep booking her services. She’s reliable, punctual, and always goes above and beyond. If you want peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in great hands, you won’t regret choosing Jessica. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our sweet pup!”

Mark was fantastic! He put us at ease the whole time we were away not just with great photos but with amazing information about how our two cats were doing and confirming everything was taken care of. He really went the extra mile and offered to do more than what we asked. He was reliable, kind, and the cats were clearly very comfortable with him. We would love to use him again in the future!
Nicole was absolutely wonderful! My wife and I looked forward to her daily updates and appreciated the videos and pictures she sent us of our little boy, Bruce (4 years old Bombay cat). She was detailed in her daily updates which provided us with a sense of ease, knowing that she was taking such good care of him and our home. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her services for any future travel :)
Jennifer has been my partner and I’s cat sitter for our 3 cats for the past 3 years. We always appreciate how detailed she is with her visit notes and makes sure to confirm that she gave our cat his oral medication each day. Every time we go out of town, we have zero anxiety about our pets because of how reliable she is and we know they are getting lots of playtime and love while we’re gone. We’re moving out of state and wish we could bring her with us! I will never stop recommending her to my friends and coworkers.
Dee Dee saved our vacation as she was able to watch our cat last-minute on a holiday weekend after our care fell through. She was responsive to my messages and provided excellent care to our cat, who was being left home alone for the first time. While he was slightly annoyed at us for leaving, he was well fed and emotionally and physically stimulated while we were away, as demonstrated by how put together and not destroyed our house was when we returned. We will definitely use Dee Dee again when we go out of town!
Lynette took care of 3 of my cats. One needed eye drops, one needed pills and the third just needed lovies. She did a good job at administrating the medicine! My cats were happy overall and were taken care of very well. Food, water, litter were cleaned at a timely manner. She provided written update each visit with lots of pictures too! Thank you!
