She genuinely cares about my cats and I appreciate that she took the time to stop by and meet my new cat before her scheduled visits.

About: I have over 15 years of experience working with animals professionally and many more years of experience as a pet owner and volunteer. I worked as a vet tech for 3 years and work today with animals as a wildlife biologist. I still indulge my love of companion animals through pet sitting services. I have a bachelors degree in animal science so you know I’m well trained in the care of many types of animals. I work full-time 8am-5pm M-F, leaving availability to check in on your home and pet in the mornings and evenings, anytime on weekends, and can even stay over night if needed. With my flexible work schedule, I may be able to fit extra check ins over the lunch hour as well. Your home and pet will be safe with me. Have peace of mind with regular checkins about status of your home and pets that include pictures of your fur babies.

“We will definitely be asking Erika to sit for my senior kitty again in the future! Erika is responsive and detailed oriented, and sent the perfect amount of photos and updates. I loved seeing my cat enjoying all the beautiful sunny and comfy resting spots provided and am so happy with this experience!”


“Ana was amazing from the very beginning. She set up a zoom meeting for introductions and confirmations on details about cares, preferences, etc. Ana took all of my concerns very seriously. When I was out of town and boarded my cat, Ana made sure to send me pictures every day. She even made sure to introduce our cats in a careful way. I knew my girl was in very good hands and I never had to worry about her. Thank you so much Ana! Will definitely use your services again!”


“Second time using Julie. She is absolutely fantastic! The hardest part of traveling is leaving our cats, but we know they are in great hands with Julie.”


“Emily is our go-to sitter. She's watched our pets twice now, and each time has done a wonderful job. She's very thorough, caring, and attentive to details. She's great about sending photos, timely updates and doing that little extra. I felt incredibly comfortable with her recent stint of watching our terrier over three days and making sure he was fed, had his meds and kept safe. Will definitely use her services again!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for cats, and dogs. I’ve worked at a pet hotel, where I gained valuable skills in handling different pets, managing their needs, and ensuring they feel comfortable and safe. My passion for animals and attention to detail allows me to provide personalized, loving care to every pet I sit for. I currently work part time, but I have availability to do pet check ins daily, and can overnight stay on Mondays and Sundays. If you need something specific, reach out I can see about scheduling to your needs. To keep pets safe in their homes, I focus on providing a secure and comfortable environment by following these steps: Routine and Familiarity: I maintain the pet's usual routine, including feeding, walks, and playtime, to minimize stress and ensure consistency. Secure Environment: I make sure all doors and windows are closed and secure, preventing pets from escaping. I also remove any hazards (like toxic plants or unsafe items) from their environment. Emergency Preparedness: I familiarize myself with the pet’s emergency contacts, vet information, and any medical needs or medications, ensuring a quick response if somethingunexpected occurs. Constant Supervision: I provide constant supervision, particularly for pets that are curious or prone to getting into trouble, to ensure their safety and well-being. Comfort and Calm: I offer plenty of affection and calming activities to keep pets relaxed and happy while you're away. This approach ensures that pets stay safe, healthy, and content while you're not home!

“Jenny is the best!!! Always had our cat looking forward to her visits and we enjoyed the pictures/comments. Gave us ease of mind while we were away and she also looked after our snake!! The updates provided let us know our cats mood and eating habits.”


“Emily is one of the nicest and most caring of pet sitters I have had the pleasure to meet. Emily took great care of my cat, Alice, and I will keep her on my list of favorites. She kept in touch regularly and sent lovely pictures of Alice too. Finding Emily has been wonderful.”


About: I’ve been around a variety of pets my entire life. I personally have for two Miniature Australian Shepherds and a Tuxedo Cat. I adore every pet I come into contact with and promise to treat yours like my own! I work a full time job, but love to stay active and busy. I currently am available to walk/ check in on your loved one on Mondays! I’ll have availability some weekends as well. I am confident in my ability to provide your dog with adequate exercise, as I myself love to stay active. I will make the most of our time together. If your fur baby loves company, I have two friendly Miniature Australian Shepherds who love to play.

About: Hello! I'm Laura, and my heart is dedicated to animals. From opossums and fish to cats, dogs, cows, and even wildlife like cougars, I've devoted my life to their care. My passion for animals inspired me to study biology, aiming to create a better world for them. Friends often call me when they need someone to care for their furry companions because I'm responsible, can read their body language, and follow instructions to ensure they feel safe and loved. I speak both English and Spanish! I work as a biologist at a wildlife refuge during the week, so I have my evenings and weekends completely free to help with any of your pet needs. Thank you for trusting me! For me, it’s very important to follow all the instructions you provide, as you know your pet best. I am responsible and will always ask the necessary questions about their care. I will send you photos, videos, and updates, and I’ll be available for you to message me and request reports about your furry friend at any time while I’m with them. Meals will be served on time and in portions, along with walks (if that’s part of their routine), playtime, and, above all, lots of love.

“Anastacia was amazing!! She was very patient with our barking dog and communicative about her visits!”


About: I have experience in staying with all kinds of dogs over night. I’m good with helping dogs with separation anxiety or just nervous dogs in general. I will play with your dogs to help relax and tire them out so that they can sleep comfortably. I love going for long walks and playing with pets outside. I can help enforce training with treats too ! I am very active, but can also be tame and calm with them. I have experience with staying with dogs for over a long periods as well as checking in/walking daily. I'm stern and enforce owner's rules so that the dog can maintain its comfy routine life. Thank you very much for your time ! I incorporate walks, runs, and play time into my work outs. I take meal prep and eating time seriously as well for the same benefits. I like to be with your pet as much as I possibly can to provide comfort and to bond. The only times I am not around a pet under my care is for work or if I need to run an errand. I am respectful of bed times, meal times and walk times and like to stick to a routine so that we have an easy time adjusting and getting to know one another.

“Ellen was a wonderful and caring sitter for my cats. She was sure to keep us updated and spent plenty of time with them while we were away. I would definitely recommend her.”

“She has become part of our family! Our cats love her (perhaps more than they love us!) and she sends us photos and videos while we’re away. Marilyn is wonderful! We feel so lucky to have found her.”


“We cannot say enough great things about Joesph! This was our first time using Rover, and we were understandably nervous about having someone we didn’t know entering our home and caring for our cat while we were away for Thanksgiving. From the first message, Joesph went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident in our decision. He was incredibly professional, kind, and attentive, ensuring we felt reassured every step of the way. He sent us adorable photos of our fur baby during his daily check-ins. The images captured our cat looking happy (in his way), which told us he was in great hands. He followed all of our care instructions perfectly, and his communication was excellent—we never had to wonder how things were going. It was clear he genuinely cared about making sure our cat was well taken care of, and his trustworthiness made it much easier for us to enjoy our holiday without worrying. If you’re looking for a dependable, caring sitter, we wholeheartedly recommend Joesph. We’ll be booking with him again in the future!”
