I’m so glad that we found Marlene! She is trustworthy, does what she says, and really loves animals. My 15-year-old senior cat Momo loved her, and it looks like she took very well care of her while we were gone… We will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you Marlene for taking care of our baby.

Hannah was excellent! She was courteous prompt and very caring with my furkids. Getting eye and ear drops in a cat daily is no easy task, but Hannah’s experience as a vet tech made it a breeze. I will definitely request her again.

Heather did a great job. She’s is very kind and caring. It took our cat sometime to warm up to her because he’s very shy but he eventually did. We feel she did a great job and would hire her again!

She is very professional and sweet. We have peace of mind knowing she was taking the best care of our boy. Thank you Mary you are the best!

Kate was an excellent cat caretaker and house sitter. While we were away for a long weekend, she was consistently responsive, provided frequent updates, arrived on time, and took wonderful care of both our cat and our home. I would use her again!

Dan, as usual, was amazing with care for our cat while we were away! Very communicative and thoughtful. You can tell he really loves animals and cares for pets he is watching like they are his own. We highly recommend him for pet care and will request his services again for our beloved cat. Thanks Dan!!!

About: My combination of professional experience, hands-on knowledge, and genuine lifelong passion for animals sets me apart. I worked at Pet Paradise for four years, where I gained experience caring for a wide range of pets in a structured, high-standard environment. This gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety protocols, and how to handle pets with different temperaments and needs. I am trained in animal CPR, which allows me to respond quickly and responsibly in emergency situations, providing an extra level of safety and peace of mind. Beyond my professional experience, I’ve spent my entire life caring for pets belonging to friends and neighbors, so I’m very comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique personality. I’m especially patient and attentive, which helps when working with young pets who are still learning boundaries, as well as senior animals who may require a gentler, more understanding approach. Whether it’s reinforcing basic training, maintaining routines, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and loved, I take pride in providing reliable, compassionate care every time. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work part-time and remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be consistently available for the pets in my care. Because I’m home for most of the day, I’m able to provide regular check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship without long gaps. My routine easily adapts to each pet’s needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care. Being remote also means I can keep a close eye on pets throughout the day, which is especially helpful for puppies, senior animals, or pets that need extra attention or monitoring. Overall, pet care isn’t something I have to squeeze in but it’s something I can prioritize and integrate seamlessly into my day, ensuring each pet gets consistent, attentive care. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on providing reliable, attentive care that keeps pets comfortable and maintains their normal routine. During dog walks, I make sure each walk is tailored to the dog’s energy level, age, and personality. Whether it’s an active walk to burn energy or a slower, more relaxed pace for senior dogs, I prioritize safety, proper leash handling, and awareness of the surroundings at all times. I also reinforce good walking habits and make sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. I take time to engage with each pet so they feel comfortable and cared for, not just “checked on.” I also monitor behavior and overall well-being, keeping an eye out for anything unusual. I always respect your home, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make each visit stress-free and consistent for both you and your pet.

Anika is perfect to check in on my cat Lily. I don't do a lot of traveling, but when I do I need a kind, responsible, loving caretaker because Lily is shy. But not with Anika. Lily loves seeing Anika and it gives me a lot of comfort knowing Lily is in the best hands. Thank you, Anika. Oh and this is the second time I've used her!!

About: Having pets for over 25 years, and having done a lot of pet sitting for others, has taught me what unconditional love is. I am committed to understanding what each individual pet needs and wants and I tailor my attention to every pet accordingly. Long walks for dogs ✅ shorter walks ✅ playtime ✅ lots of cuddles ✅ no cuddles, no problem ✅ I am here to care for animals the way they like, as it is all about them. I always walk the dogs at their pace and they can stop and sniff as much as they want ❤️ Working for myself, and two days part-time outside my home, offers ample time to care for your pet, whether in your home or mine. I have a big yard for your puppers to play and take long walks everyday...I would love to have your dog along on my neighborhood treks. I also like to load them up in the truck and drive to new, unexplored parts of town...new sights and sounds and smells to keep our awareness sharp.

Anika is hands down the best Rover sitter my fur kids have ever had. We all will miss her as we are moving out of state. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s responsive, reliable, communicative and writes the best report cards- I feel like I’m really caught up on the animals with her in charge. If you’re looking for a good sitter look no further!

Kylie was beyond amazing! I love to travel but have always been stressed whenever away from my boys & was never able to leave for the length of time I’d like. Kylie made the whole experience so smooth & so easy! Not once did I stress on vacation & they even went above & beyond, asking if they could help groom Jerry! I’m beyond grateful to have her in my life now & will book her instantly whenever traveling. I would recommend her to anyone & everyone! She cares about your pets & your household. I came home to clean dishes, litter & happy kitties! We love Kylie!!

It was great for me to find Thomas. I have several cats that require medication and special attention, so it’s difficult for me to find someone I am comfortable leaving in their care. Thomas is that person. He made sure the one cats medications were on time, and even became friends with my one very shy one. Definitely will be contacting him again in the future.
