“Mary went above and beyond caring for my kitties! Even the most skittish of the bunch ended up loving her. I didn’t have to worry for one second about the quality of care that they were getting!”


“Amy was great and made our kitties very happy while we were gone. She communicated with me every visit and sent multiple pics as well. Came home to clean litter boxes, fresh food and water, and 2 happy cats. Will definitely use Amy again and would highly recommend her if you need a pet sitter.”


“Emily was great! Came at a last minute notice to watch my two dogs for the weekend before Christmas. She asked great questions for things we may have forgot to tell her. She was on time and seemed to really click with the doggos. Thank you for making our first experience with this app a great one!”


“Opal was great! She took such good care of Loki during her visits with him, and I was able to enjoy being away knowing he was cared for and enjoying himself!”


“Maronda was the best first sitter for us! She communicated so well and updated us thoroughly throughout her drop-ins. Will definitely use her again!!”


“Excellent job with my cats. My little sick one is doing well under her care. I think my cats like Madison more than they like me. Food was full and little was maintained very well.”


“Raegan was so great with my puppy, Mayer while he was recovering from his neutering surgery! She sent me updates and pictures and made me comfortable when I was nervous to leave him home for the first time while I was at work. She welcomed a long list of care instructions from me, a crazy dog mom. I trust her with my pup and will be using her in the future!”


About: I have taken care of dogs of different breeds and ages. I love taking dogs for walks and playing fetch and of course for going to potty. For house sitting, I have house sat for months at a time for a couple who would go out of town several times through out the year. I am very careful to make sure that the house is kept the same way as when the owner left. I clean up after myself. I am available during the day and evenings if needed. My only unavailable day would be Sundays but Sunday evenings after 8 pm I am available. I just have the one cat and she is indoor only so I do not have a fenced in area so my house is not suitable for cat or dog sitting.

“Ashlyn did great and kept us updated regularly on our pets and how they were doing. We received regular picture updates and our pets really seemed to enjoy her company. I would definitely recommend her!”


“Eliza was so great with our dog. She was punctual and left detailed notes and sweet pictures of our dog. I will definitely be contacting Eliza again to care for our pup!”


“I have never used Rover and was very hesitant to leave our 7 cats for nearly 2 weeks. Upon meeting Jamie, I immediately felt that our cats would be in good hands. She always sent photos (even of the cats who were hiding) and responded timely if I had questions. Thank you so much for taking care of our babies!”


“Natalie was wonderful! Coco and Mav are 8 mos old and still very shy and anxious around new people. Natalie was extremely patient and went above and beyond to gain their trust. I highly recommend her and would definitely use again!”


“Riley was a great sitter! Very responsive, caring, timely, and sent us amazing pictures of our babies. The pups loved her and had a great time. Riley also took great care of making sure my dog with epilepsy received her medication properly. 10/10 definitely recommend!!”

“"I highly recommend Andrew! He agreed to several meet and greets to make sure he, the dogs and I were all comfortable before I left. He was fantastic with my dogs while I was away. He visited them twice a day, sent me photos and updates, and I could tell from the pictures that my dogs were having a great time.

Not only was she available on short notice, after the original sitter I had booked and confirmed cancelled the same day, but she was also eager to provide love and care to my 2 canine children!

About: I rescued my dog Lucky in 2008 from Cabo MX. Took him back to Colorado to live in the mountains and now back home in Alabama. We averaged 2 walks a day every week and plenty of play time over the weekend. My family relies on me to take of their pets when they are away and I always gladly accept. I'm flexible during Friday and Saturday. I work Mon-Thursday from home. I have time early in the morning - later afternoon and early-late evenings to help visit and walk Whatever works for the animal, I can do. Specific feedings, walks around the block, cleaning up after them and lots of petting. They will look forward to my visits.
