“Brittney was a wonderful caretaker for my cat and a very reliable person to work with. She brought peace of mind while out of town on a long trip, and I hope to book her for future caretaking opportunities.”
“Adam was wonderful at communicating with us and has such a kind and caring personality. We loved all of the funny photos we received and felt at ease while we were away, especially since Katsu does have rather meticulous medication needs. Adam was also clearly very mindful about keeping Katsu happy and comfortable, and respecting his needs/boundaries/quirks. We look forward to working with him again for future pet-sitting needs!”
“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.”
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!
About: I’ve had over 50 years of caring for many breeds of dogs, including my own. I am respectful of others homes and can be trusted to give loving care to your dogs. I am a retiree that has a fairly open schedule and able to spend the night at your home. I may need to leave for an hour two at times for health appts. and going to our home to let our own dog out for a bit. I am flexible on how to care for your dogs in your home, including using a crate. I will respect your current ways of sharing your home with your dogs.
About: Hi! I would love to get to know your pets and give them all of the cuddles <3 I have experience cat and dog sitting for family and friends. I have grown up with dogs my whole life! My family dogs have a special place in my heart <3 They are between the ages of 8yrs and 10yrs. So, I've gotten transitional experience into taking care of senior dogs. The littlest of the two was diagnosed as a diabetic 3 years ago. So, I am well versed in administering under-the-skin injections and oral medications. Currently, I only have one cat living with me. She is a domestic medium-hair, and just over a year old. Even though I adopted her last May, she still has so much kitten energy and keeps me on my toes. As a graduated senior, I am quickly approaching an open-schedule. I work with the university, but my shifts are incredibly flexible. Additionally, I make it a point to not work the weekends, so I have 100% availability. I have the pleasure to have a fenced in backyard in a quiet, residential neighborhood. Your pets will have quick access for potty breaks and outside play time. The B-line trail is also just behind our house, so we can plan for plenty of walks while in my care. My cat, Mali, is a fully indoor cat and on Revolution Plus. As of June 2025, she is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations.
About: I've had my 2 cats and dogs for 12 years and adore them! I make new feline and canine friends easily so I'm happy to sit/walk yours as well! My work schedule is light right now so I have a lot of availability for sittings and walks and have done this a lot for friends. I am open to your specific directions for caring for your animals and am flexible. Write down any specific details and I will follow them. I am trustworthy and have house sat and dog walked for many friends and neighbors! People count on me!
“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.”
“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!”
About: I frequently watch my family dogs, two golden doodles, along with caring for other pets (nannying, dog sitting, etc.). I also love going to the animal shelter and giving the animals some play time. I work 9-5, so outside of those hours during the week, and anytime on the weekends! I am flexible though, please just let me know! I have various dog parks around my property and am willing to drive to houses to take dogs for long walks. My environment is very pet friendly!
“Audrey has been an absolute lifesaver and an amazing sitter. Our dog adores her and is always tired at the end of her visits from all of the fetch they play! We are thankful to have someone so reliable to call when we have a weekend trip or vacation that we can’t take our dog on. This was our first couple of times using Rover and we would recommend Audrey to anyone!”

She’s constantly feeding and petting the neighborhood cats, and she lights up every time she sees an animal. Her phone is filled with thousands of photos of her furry friends — each one loved like family. Katie is kind, reliable, and has a natural, heartfelt connection with animals. You can trust her completely to care for your pets as if they were her own.”
