“Emily took amazing care of my timid cats! They felt comfortable with her and she followed directions to the T! Her communication skills are also superb. I will definitely book with her again!”

“Mariah, thank you sooo much for taking care of Una while I was out of town. I knew that you were a match for Una when she first you. Your kind approach and then loving play was superb. And thank you for the pictures of your visit and walking her. Una will love you forever for feeding, playing and walking her!!”

“Lily took great care of my kitten this week! I booked on short notice after she spent the weekend at the emergency vet. Would 100% recommend and I've already rebooked for the future :)”

“Was very nervous about leaving my pets with an unknown person. Day 1 of meeting Lydia and introducing her to Sweetie and Lil Shit, my worries went away. Sweetie took to Lydia right away. When she came to get key before we left, Sweetie was so happy to see her again. Lil Shit is a cat, and has no opinion, lol! Will book her again”

“Alyssa was super kind, professional, and understanding. She took great car of James, even playing with him and texting me photos. She also cleaned out both litter boxes while I was gone. I will definitely ask for her help again, and I highly recommend her.”

“We had a really good experience with Kylie taking care of both the cats. Both cats gelled with her, she made sure to share many pictures from every visit. Had a peace of mind, knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely approach her again if we get a chance.”

“Janelle did a wonderful job with Merry. After I got home I swear Merry kept looking for Janelle too! Merry was happy, healthy, and well fed. She is a lover and from the photos Janelle sent, Merry got lots of loving!”

“Abby is Fabulous! We knew this the moment she arrived at our house for a pre-meet in advance of her first stay with our puppy! Linda, our Berner puppy, was acting wild and even peed on her bed while we were chatting with Abby, but this didn’t deter Abby…. it was clear that our puppy was vying for Abby’s attention. Abby asked lots of additional questions to make sure we were all in the same page for Linda’s care. Abby shared lots of pics and feedback while we were away! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Abby already and hope to schedule her again. It is a double edged sword to give a good review since she might become so popular with others that her availability is reduced. BUT….good service deserves a GREAT review! Thank you Abby!!”

“Val was amazing! She did drop in visits for my dogs for about five days. On each visit she took pictures and updated me on the status of my dogs. I could see on their faces that they were having fun with Val. She even bought them some toys to play with. She was very attentive and responsible.”

“Mykale is a wonderful cat-sitter! I have two elderly cats, one of whom requires twice daily medication, and so I'm always a bit nervous about leaving them behind if I have to travel. Knowing that Mykale is dropping in on them while I'm gone has really put my mind at ease. She is very communicative and the cats warmed up to her really quickly. When the winter weather got truly awful she even switched to an overnight stay last minute to ensure that Rascal would get his medication in the morning as scheduled even if everyone got snowed in!”


“Syd always does a great job with my senior pup. I worry about leaving him as he suffers from cataracts and dementia, but Syd always takes good care of him and keeps me updated with pics and texts. It’s such a relief to know she is there with him!”
About: From a young age, my life has been enriched by the companionship of both cats and dogs, nurturing a deep love and understanding of animals. Growing up with a King Charles Cavalier and now sharing my days with a beloved golden retriever, I've developed a profound connection with these furry friends. My personal experiences have instilled in me a natural instinct for pet care, from the joy of playtime to the responsibilities of feeding and grooming. Beyond my own pets, I've extended my passion for animal care into professional realms, providing attentive and compassionate sitting services for other pet owners. Each interaction has reinforced my commitment to the well-being and happiness of every furry client, ensuring they receive the same level of care and affection as my own companions. What sets me apart as a sitter is not only my genuine love for animals but also my ability to tailor care to meet the unique needs of each pet. Whether it's training puppies, providing specialized attention to senior dogs, or simply offering a warm lap for cuddles, I take pride in going above and beyond to create a safe and enriching environment for every furry friend entrusted to my care. With me, your pet isn't just a client – they're family. Weekend availability: full time to watch your pet. Weekday: 90% full time availability, I am a part time yoga teacher who teaches a couple classes a week. In my home or my client's home, I prioritize creating a comfortable and nurturing environment for pets under my care. This includes adhering to their regular feeding and walking schedules, providing ample playtime and exercise, and ensuring a clean and safe living space. I also make sure to administer any necessary medications or treatments as directed by the pet owner. Additionally, I offer personalized attention and affection to each pet, making them feel loved and secure while they're away from their owners. Whether it's overnight stays, daily check-ins, or dog-walking services, I strive to meet the unique needs of every pet and maintain open communication with their owners to ensure peace of mind.
Howard Park-East Bank pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hanling took excellent care of our kitty! She came in advance to meet him and get instructions in person, and spent lots of time playing and cuddling with him on each visit so he wouldn't be too lonely while we were gone. She also sent us lots of pictures of him. We will definitely call her the next time we need a pet sitter.
