“This is a repeat booking with Adam (because he is truly wonderful)! He took wonderful care of Katsu while we were gone for a long trip and kept us updated with cute photos (and even updated us on our ant situation). We appreciate his kind and thorough care!”
“Thank you for taking care of Dillon! Lucy was very attentive to our older dogs needs and extremely pleasant to work with. We would highly recommend her for your pets needs.”
“Kalee could tell I was nervous about leaving my cats for the first time. She was great - spending high quality time with them, sending me great pics. It put me at ease. I highly recommend Kalee.”
“On initial enquiry Holden was fast to respond and on time for meetup. Holden was friendly and professional at our meetings. While petsitting Holden kept us up to date each visit with helpful comments and pictures. Holden spent extensive time pampering the cats including even lap petting and brushing. Our cats were very well looked after and we would love to utilize Holden’s terrific services again if needed ahead!”
About: I have 5 years of pet care experience! Ranging from ferrets to cats and dogs! I've rescued 2 dogs and trained both of them (obedience). Currently working part time. Always free to help care for your pet! Can only offer half days as I'm not free 24/7. I am more than happy to communicate with you about schedules. I care for pets in my client's home just how they would want me to do. I care for pets just like they are my own! Daily walks, play time, and of course, dinner time!
“We had a meet-and-greet with Anneke prior to her house and petsitting next week. She is delightful! Great communication. Sweet with the animals. We immediately felt great peace of mind. We look forward to having her care for our furry ones during our vacation.”
“Rexton delivered outstanding pet-sitting services for Bubby our cat over the course of our 12-day vacation, furnishing daily progress reports as well as pictures of our fur baby. Rexton displayed a genuine concern for Bubby’s welfare, which is what you want in a pet sitter! We missed Bubby a lot, but we were reassured knowing he was being well cared for. Thank you Rexton!”
About: I've had a pet dog for as long as I can remember. My parents taught me the value of having a happy, healthy companion and instilled a love of pets and pet care that will last a lifetime. I've interacted with a variety of dogs over the years, both in my house and in friends' houses, from small Pomeranians to medium Beagles to large Black Labs and Great Danes. I currently have a Boxer/Bulldog mix who I've had since he was 6 weeks old, so your puppy will be comfortable with me! I know that trusting me with your pet is trusting me with a member of your family, and I take that honor very seriously. I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I currently work part time sporadically throughout the day, so I have plenty of opportunities to visit your pet during the day. I also have full availability in the evenings and at night, so overnight visits are not an issue. As I mentioned, I currently have a Boxer/Bulldog mix who would love to keep your pet company! I live in a quiet neighborhood a short drive away from Clinton Dog Park, so on nice days, we can take a trip to the park and run around there as well.
“Excellent care for our 2 indoor/outdoor cats! Always nervous having a new caretaker for our pets while we are away. From day 1 Regan made us feel confident that our Cats were in good hands!”
“Audrey was exceptional!! She stayed at my place for over a week while I was on vacation. Great communication. I know my kitties were happy - Oliver doesn’t cuddle new people and warmed up to her and started cuddling Audrey. A sure sign of a happy and well cared for kitty 😊”
“Kim did a wonderful job taking care of our 5 cats! She came to our house twice while we were out of town and did everything we asked her to do and sent us photos which we appreciated. Thank you Kim!”
About: Hi! I’m Samantha, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent of 11 years. For over a decade, I have cared for my own pets and have also had the pleasure of pet sitting annually for four wonderful families. Whether it is walks, playtime, or feeding, I treat every animal like my own. I am available during 12:00 PM-1:00 PM most weekdays for a quick visit and after 5:00 PM. I am available most weekends for all hours. I personally do not do dog/cat sitting in my own home. I do have a lovely 1 year old mini Schnauzer named Suki and had a beloved mini Schnauzer named Layla for 9 years!

“We cannot recommend Abigail enough! She has been a wonderful dog sitter for our shih tzu and cavapoo. Whenever we go away for long weekends or vacations, Abigail stays at our home, providing our pups with the companionship and care they need. Our dogs absolutely adore her!

Marisa H.
“Marisa adopted a puppy two years ago, and I have watched her develop into a fantastic dog mom these past two years. Marisa demonstrates extraordinary patience, love, and commitment to not only her dog, but all animals she meets. The first thing she does when she comes home is greet her dog, Cow, with the biggest smile. She always has time to give him plenty of love and attention. Cow has lots of special needs due to allergies, and Marisa is amazing at being accommodating and caring for anything he requires. I promise that if you hire Marisa to care for your furry friends you can expect her to provide the same level of love, attention, and care to your pets as she gives her own. I would trust her in a heartbeat to watch over my own pet, and I can guarantee you will feel the same way. Book Marisa while you can!”

She’s incredibly loving, attentive, and always keeps us updated with sweet photos that make us feel so at ease while traveling. Knowing they’re in such good hands brings us so much peace of mind. She’s truly the best!”
Handy cat parents share their Rover experiences
Rachel has been an absolute great cat sitter! I was worried about my 5-week trip and I wasn’t able to use Rover, but she kept me updated with detailed and thoughtful emails every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. My cat absolutely adores her, waiting by the door, and clearly feels safe and loved in her care. I came home to a relaxed, happy cat and everything perfectly taken care of.
