Pet Sitting Govans

“Ivan was absolutely wonderful. He provided daily photos and updates which was incredibly reassuring, as this is the first time I’ve hired a professional pet sitter in several years. My cats (even the shy one!) loved him and the house was in great shape when I returned. Would definitely book again!”

“Nathalie continues to do an amazing job with our cat! She even helped us out in a pinch when we had to book last minute. She is the best, and we will continue to use her services.”

“Sun was so attentive and caring to my baby girl and was able to administer her medications easier than I usually do 😂 they also provided super detailed cards and took lots of pics 📸 overall. Had a wonderful experience and was able to vacation in peace ♥️”

“Corinne is a wonderful dog sitter/walker. She’s been so helpful with my dog as he heals from a paw injury. Can’t recommend Corinne highly enough!”

Biz H.

“Ana did such a wonderful job with my dogs when they had to take medications, had an upset stomach or itching issues. She sent me photos and videos which really lifted my spirits. Ana is very attentive and asks about how you would like things done in your home. I have two small dogs and would recommend her. My two dogs have different personalities and she was great at helping them each at their own pace.”

About: I've had a cat named Sony I took sole responsibility for when I was in elementary. And just recently I've been watching my sister's dog. I'm a patient person and it's hard to get me frustrated. I'm currently a student without many responsibilities on the weekend, meaning your pet can count on my full attention. I'm available from 7am to 6pm for anything. First thing I do when I watch my sister's dog is make a list, what time to feed them, when to walk them, etc. Then I monitor the dog from a distance unless it's comfortable with me and step in if needed.

“Katie is great! Very attentive and communicates well. Having her visit and help is a great comfort to my dog and me! This is our second time working with Katie and I have already booked a 3rd. Highly recommend”

About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. I grew up with a large dog who was deeply loved and considered part of the family. Caring for him taught me how to recognize an animal’s needs, understand body language, and approach pets with patience, respect, and compassion through all stages of their lives. Since then, I have cared for dogs and cats belonging to friends and family through regular check-ins, weekend visits, week-long house-sitting stays, and week-long dog-sitting stays in my own home. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and may need time to feel comfortable with someone new or in a new environment. I am patient during that adjustment period and always do my best to maintain their normal routine and help them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I hold a bachelor’s degree in biology with a focus in ecology and marine biology. I also recently completed an internship with Zoo Miami in animal care, training, and husbandry. This experience strengthened my ability to observe animal behavior, respond appropriately to their needs, and communicate with animals using clear, consistent, and positive methods. I am new to the city and currently have full availability including last minute scheduling, and I am excited to build trusted relationships with local pet owners and their animals. Animal welfare is extremely important to me, and I would treat your pets with the same care, attention, and respect I would want for my own. I recently moved to the city and currently have a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the day, seven days a week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. This flexibility allows me to accommodate check-ins, walks, overnight stays, and last-minute requests whenever possible. I care for every pet according to their usual routine, personality, and individual needs. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions provided by the owner, and I take time to help each pet feel safe and comfortable with me. In a client’s home, I am respectful of both the pet’s space and the home itself. I make sure doors, windows, gates, leashes, and carriers are secure, keep food and potentially harmful items out of reach, and leave the home clean and orderly. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment. I supervise pets closely, give them plenty of attention, and help them adjust patiently to the new surroundings. I understand that some animals need more time and space than others, so I always pay attention to their body language and comfort level.

“Sierra was wonderful! She was really understanding of my worries of leaving Pazzo alone after a tough vet visit. She gave me excellent updates and made sure to give Pazzo lots of extra cuddles. She gave him his meds easily, and I felt so much better that Pazzo was in her hands. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”

“Alexis was tremendous. He left thorough review cards, lots of pictures, and was very communicative throughout his drop-ins. He was very flexible through a home-alarm difficulty, was very sweet to our cats, and we cannot recommend him enough. Please consider utilizing Alexis for your home visits!”

Jason D.

“Bito is hands-down terrific! Really went above and beyond. Clearly won over the hearts of our cats, and even convinced our shy recluse to allow some pets — very impressed! I would trust Bito to cat sit or house sit without any reservation whatsoever. Highly recommend without any reservation whatsoever. Bito left my house cleaner than when I left for vacation, and watered my plants too :)”

Gedge R.

“Maria was so kind, responsive, and thorough providing care for our dog. She was prompt, asked questions when needed, and made us feel comfortable that our pet was taken care of! We were in a pinch, and she was quick to get back to us! We’d definitely recommend her and ask her to care for our pet again.”

Emily D.

“Lisa was very professional and communicative with me, but more importantly knows how to care for cats with varying personalities and needs. One of our cats is a bit territorial/cranky with strangers, and Lisa approached her with compassion and understanding. She engaged with our cats in the ways they were most comfortable. She was also very thoughtful regarding some light house sitting tasks such as making sure the dehumidifier wasn’t full. You can tell that Lisa is a true animal lover who treats others’ pets the same way she does her own. We and our cats had a very positive experience, and would highly recommend Lisa’s pet sitting services to others!”

Samantha H.

“Marissa always does a fantastic job taking care of our pets. She gives them each attention, provides detailed updates, and gets lots of photos. Anytime there is an accident or unexpected issue she is quick to jump into action while keeping us updated. We are so thankful to have her as a sitter. We would highly recommend her.”

Thomas B.

“Courtney, did a wonderful job with our boys. We have a shy cat and he took right to her. She sent regular pictures and did regular check-in’s. We feel lucky to have found her. She made our vacation much less stressful. We will definitely use her again or you recommend everybody else use her except if we need her at that time. 😉”

Walked on wag before moving to Rover for sitting. Since working part-time, I am available throughout the week and late nights as well. Busy on the weekends and schooling in the morning.

“Excellent experience! Brenna gets along well with my dog!”

“Essence was an absolute life saver! We decided to travel to Baltimore on a last minute trip and our puppy Luna hates being left alone in the hotel room. I contacted Essence after being turned down by 7-8 sitters and she was responsive and we set things up in a few minutes. She was great to work with andLuna had a nice time with her. She took her for 2 potty walks and fed her while we were gone for a few hours. When we return to Baltimore, I'll be calling Essence!”
