“Kelsey is wonderful always looking out for the cats.. making sure they have everything they need and are doing great and keeping me informed. They even may one day come out and with visit her.”

“I will never go to another sitter, ever! She takes care of my cat who is an absolute terror to people, and Ethel is bery kind to her. She goes above and beyond every time I have her!”

“Max was very helpful when I booked him last minute. He was on time for all of his visits, took great photos of our elderly dog and was extremely gently and kind. He definitely has a special touch for animals!”

About: I've owned and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. Professionally, I have experience working as a dog handler, kennel attendant, dog bather, and groomer. I also have extensive experience working and caring for cats, horses, and various small animals. My +3 years working at a dog daycare facility had me safely handling a pack of up to 25 dogs; providing exercise & engagement, soft corrections, and positive reinforcement. To do so, it was necessary to be observant and in tune with the dog's behavior and always on the lookout for any signs of stress or aggression. As a bather and groomer, I was focused on hygiene but a large aspect of the job relied on my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. I've owned cats my entire life and have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and adopted. I also have pet care insurance with animal baliee coverage in case of emergencies. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable and loved. I work part-time on the night shift, so I'm usually out of the house between 9:30pm and 2am Monday through Friday. Outside of that- my schedule is flexible. I am available on most weekends and holidays. I only book one client at a time for pet sits and boarding, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a huge, unfenced yard. I own a variety of animal care supplies and equipment.

“I can’t recommend Ryan O. enough! He house sat for our cat Sebastian while we were out of town for a week and we couldn’t have left him in better hands. During our time away Ryan sent us photos/videos of our Sebastian eating and having fun which was really nice. We look forward to booking Ryan again in the future!! Thanks for doing such a great job, keep up the great work!”

“Amanda J. took great care of my precious 16 year old cat. I will be happy to use her again someday as the need arises, and highly recommend her. She's reliable and kind!”

“Seriously Patrick is the ONLY person outside of immediate family that we trust with our pups. They love him so much and he does what we ask I terms of their care (they are just spoiled, nothing medical or any like that. I’m 100% confident he would take care of them if that were the case though lol) We are still surprised we found such an amazing pet sitter.”


“I was able to find Jennifer quickly on the Rover app. I chose her by her profile and her close proximity to where I live. She responded very quickly to our request thru the app. She came for a short visit so we and our doberman could meet her. I wanted her also to feel comfortable with our large dog. We needed someone to come a couple of days around midday to fed, potty, walk and play our very active 8 month old 60 lb dog. We had her come for an hour each day. It was also the first time we were leaving her all day. Jennifer did exactly what was asked and says she looks forward to helping us out again. I know we will use her in the future.”

“Estefanía took awesome care of my kitty Moji! She was always on time to the drop-in, sent plenty of photos, and very quickly converted my shy scaredy cat to her usual sweet self. Thanks Estefanía!”

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs since I was little; my immediate family and extended family alike have trusted me to take care of their pets from a young age. Now, as an adult I have my own dogs who I love so much, but can only walk them so much! I would love to walk your dog(s) as I enjoy staying active and helping people keep their pets active, too. As a vegetarian for the past 15 years, kindness to animals is a pillar of my lifestyle. I will treat your pup like my own and give them all the love I can while in my care! I currently have a flexible schedule and run my own online health & fitness coaching business, so when I am not servicing people clients, I am looking forward to walking the 4 legged clients! I know dogs will thrive off of routine and structure, and will respect your home's rules and do my best to adhere to keeping a smooth flow for you and your dog!

“I cannot recommend Zulema enough! They took incredible care of my cats while I was away, and I felt totally at ease knowing she was in such loving, capable hands. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful check-ins that truly went above and beyond—every message reassured me that my cats were not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for. It’s such a gift to find someone who treats your pet like their own. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and all-around amazing cat sitter, look no further. Five stars aren’t enough!”

About: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve just really cherished being around animals, even the ones who aren’t super cuddly. I have a lot of patience and respect for each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their people are away. I work full time during the week and try to stay busy on the weekend, but I will absolutely work my weekend schedule around you/your pet’s needs. I have a big fenced backyard and plenty of space inside for house-trained pets to relax, whether that’s on the couch, a comfy chair, or the floor. I share my home with one dog, a terrier mix named Minnie. She’s playful and friendly, but if your dog prefers to keep to themselves, I can easily keep them separated. Older dogs sometimes find her a bit too energetic, while younger pups usually have a great time playing with her.

Nastassia did a great job and definitely would use her again. She sent pictures daily with a report. Our cat is feisty and not very welcoming with strangers, but I felt confident that she was in good hands. Nastassia is clearly experienced to manage our sassy cat, and I’m sure next time our cat would be happy to see her. Highly recommend Nastassia.
