“Craig is the best! It's so nice to go out of town and know my babies are being taken care of! This is our 2nd time having Craig come by and it won't be the last! He is always on time and always sends pictures of the cats when we are away. Pick Craig to cat sit for you! You won't regret it! Thanks again!”


“I'm so glad I reached out to Jeffrey to board my 9 year old black cat for the week. I was very concerned to "relocating" her to his home for the week during Christmas. Knowing he had no other animals in the house and kids at home during the holidays to keep her company is what made me decide to go this route. It was worth it. Although it took my Pepper time to adjust to the relocation, it turned out to be less stressful to keep her there, than leaving her home alone. (If I leave her alone for a week, she is howling in distress for days after I return) This is the 1st time in years where Pepper was actually calm after my return home. I hope Jeffrey and his family will consider taking her again for my next trip.”


“Emily has been a fabulous sitter for my cat. Darcy is a persnickety cat and is not always friendly. She tends to hide when I am away. Emily was not at all deterred by Darcy’s reluctance to make a new friend. Each time she came over to care for Darcy, Emily waited around for Darcy to get comfortable enough to come out of hiding. Emily talked to her and petted her as Darcy allowed, and Emily was able to get some pictures to send me of Darcy. I appreciated Emily’s commitment to providing excellent care for my kitty and her communication after each visit with an update and pictures of Darcy. Bottom line, I can’t say enough good things about Emily as a pet sitter!!! She’s the BEST!!!”


“Sue did a wonderful job taking care of my two foster kitties! This was the first time I’ve left them in another’s care, and I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver. Sue was very attentive to their needs and spent quality time with them, playing with them and helping them get used to another person. She definitely helped in bringing my shy one out of her shell a bit! I would not hesitate to book Sue again and highly recommend her as a Rover pet sitter!”


“Very friendly. Love that she’s available on short notice and Gordy really seems to love her. Kate listened to my instructions and respected the request of not allowing Gordy on our couch. She also gave him lots of love and gave him as long a walk as he would tolerate.”



About: I have always had labs or retrievers in the house. I have trained my pets to always obey and greet people with kindness, yet still be loud with a bark when someone approaches the front door. Our dogs have always been great with kids and have never had problems with them running off. We take care of any medications, ear drops, eye drops, and of course proper diet, food, water and treats. We live on a golf course and enjoy taking our dog out for exercise. Throwing the ball or frisbee is her favorite. On sunny days we take her to the beach. We have SUV jeep to transport up to two large dogs to the beach, store or vet. We love dogs (able to handle large size dogs, puppies and older dog care) I am a retired software engineer. I do work part time which leaves me with plenty of time to help pet owners when they need it. I am a detailed oriented person. I enjoy giving your pet the attention they crave, yet staying in complete control in a calm manner. Praise is a requirement.


About: I've been volunteering to care for my friends and family's pets since before I can remember. While I’ve always owned kitties throughout my life, doggos hold a very special place in my heart. From poms to danes I've enjoyed every minute of caring for canines of any age, breed, and personality. I love to send updates and photos, and am very comfortable administering medications for both cats and dogs (injections, pills, ear and eye drops). I'm happy to walk, run, snuggle, and talk with your pet and am an expert at head scratches and belly rubs. I know all too well that one of the biggest challenges to traveling is finding care for your pet that ensures they don’t feel alone or bored while you’re away. I am happy to perform any routines that would make your pet most comfortable (Are they used to having a fetch session after dinner? Does your kitty expect snuggles on a particular chair in the living room?). Whatever level of care you need to know your fur baby is safe while you’re away, I’m here for it. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I work from home on a loose schedule - so care at any hour is no problem! Happy to take my laptop with me to spend more time with your fur baby between virtual calls. However your pet is used to spending their day, I’m happy to oblige. In the past I’ve worked for a few hours from a client’s living room to get more snuggle time in. I’m happy to play, snuggle, feed, and care for your pet to make sure they feel the love in your absence!

“Bella was great! Our cat loved her as soon as she came over for the meet and greet. She sent lots of pictures and provided updates. She was responsive. Our cat was in a great mood when we got home. We would definitely have Bella pet sit again in the future!”

“Chrissy was fantastic with my cat who can be skittish and shy with new people. She took great care of him and he ended up feeling comfortable enough to warm up & let her pet him! If I ever needed someone to watch him again I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her.”



“Angel was excellent! Always on time for her visits to Pumpkin. Her litter box was well cleaned and her food and water were met to Pumpkin’s needs. Angel also sent pictures daily. We would definitely have Angel again as our pet sitter. We are so glad we found her.”


About: Pets and animals have been a part of my life since I was very young and have always near and dear to my heart. No animal should suffer or be treated in a bad way and I will care for your pet as if it were my own. I am currently semi-retired and available most days to take care of your loved ones.

When taking care of your loved one, I will make sure they are safe and have all of the necessary items for them to be comfortable. I will set up a meet and greet with them and you to ensure they are comfortable with me and our next steps.

“Laura is very easy to work with. She was very responsive to our short notice need. She has cared for our dogs in the past, and did a great job again today. Thank you very much, Laura!! We really appreciate it.”


About: I am an avid animal lover looking to spend my days off exercising, playing and loving on your 4 legged baby! I have a black lab puppy that is full of energy so whatever the needs of your dog/cat are, I feel confident I can meet them! I have had a dog and cat my whole life.
