“Lindsay did a great job with my babies, and followed the directions for their care exactly. I genuinely appreciated her attention to detail - she even took the time to straighten things up before leaving. Thanks Lindsay 💜☺️”
“Carrie was great with my shy cat - she even came out a few times, which is rare and says a lot! I really appreciated the photo update - they put me at ease knowing my fur baby was being well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Tabitha was fantastic. She went above and beyond. I love that she sent pics and updates every visit. She also ended up having to clean up the litter area (which was not expected of her) multiple times during my trip, yet she did so with out asking. I cannot say enough positive things about her as a pet sitter.”
“We LOVE Jenny and had immediately rebooked her post her first visit. She is the best! Not only took such great care of our boys but even played the piano for them. ❤️”
“Angela was the most amazing sitter to my two cats! She sent tons of photos/videos and updates from each visit. She was highly responsive to every single message I sent and made me feel so comfortable leaving my pets with her. I have a kitten and an older cat and Angela accommodated both of their needs perfectly within her visits. I cannot recommend Angela enough as a sitter for your pets. She goes above and beyond in providing care for your pets and you quickly feel as if you’ve left them with a trusted family member!”
“Barber did a wonderful job with our 2 very shy cats. At the meet and greet session, our shyest cat actually stayed close by which demonstrated a level of comfort and trust. Barber updated me daily, shared pictures, and kept in contact. I would definitely recommend Barber and will ask her to pet sit on our next vacation.”
“Kelly was awesome! I had last minute travel plans for the holidays and had never used Rover before, but I’m glad I did! She was prompt, communicative, and sent detailed updates/pictures so I could have peace of mind while away from my kitties. She even went above and beyond by offering to bring in my mail and cleaning up a mess one of my cats made. I would recommend her services to anyone!”
“I've booked with Brooke several times through the process of moving. She is very responsive and she adores my cats. I couldn't ask for a more attentive, caring and respectful pet sitter. I've said it before and I'll say it again - highly recommended. 🐈⬛🐈⬛😁”
“Sarah was AMAZING with our 2 year old Rottie mix and our 6 year old pug mix. She sent plenty of pictures and updates and went above and beyond taking care of our boys while my husband and I were away:)”

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs and cats all my life and have a genuine passion for fur babies health and happiness ! I'm semi retired and have flexible availability, I can board, sit, walk mornings or evenings and weekends are no problem. If boarding, small dogs only I do not have a fenced yard so would use a leash or harness. I've never crated a pet but would if the owner prefers
About: Hi there- I have been fostering pets for the local animal shelter and discovered that integrating new human friends into our home environment was a breeze. Like children, our animal friends need love, reasonable boundaries, set routines, and good nutrition, not to mention a 1/2 acre fenced yard that provides plenty of room to roam. My family and I have worked together to ensure that the pets we foster develop the habits necessary for adoption. As pet owners of our Havanese mix, Maggie, we know how frustrating and stressful last-minute travel can be. We stand ready to make your life easier by treating your family member like one of our own. We will take good care of your pet, and we hope they will want to come back.
“Makai was AMAZING!! He kept us updated the whole time and sent us the cutest pictures of our two kittens. He was kind enough to bring in some packages that were delivered to our house while we were away. We will definitely book Makai again!!”
About: I have several years of experience caring for cats, dogs, and birds, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I'm comfortable with a variety of breeds, including larger dogs like German Shepherds and Great Pyrenees. I'm happy to feed them, play with them, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while their family is away or busy. Whether it's going for a walk, keeping them company, or following their routine, I always treat pets like part of the family. I’m available during most of the day and evenings, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs and schedules. I'm flexible and happy to work with you to find times that are most convenient. I'm comfortable with crating and uncrating dogs, as well as leash walking. I understand the importance of safety and routine, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to ensure your pet feels secure and cared for.
