“Victoria was such a great buddy for my cat while I was away! She's normally really shy, but cuddled and played with Victoria a bunch. Will definitely be back next time I travel!”
About: I treat every pet with love, care, and respect. I commit to treating every pet like they're part of my own family. Whether your dog loves long walks and belly rubs, your cat loves playtime and chin scratches, or your fur baby just wants to sit in silence, I've got you covered. I have experience administering medications and accommodating special diets, I handle every detail with care and compassion. When you choose me you can expect reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. I can provide regular updates and photos so you can see the happiness of your pets while you're away and ensure their safety. Your pet will be in great hands! Please feel free to contact me with questions or for more information. I currently work a full-time job in education. I am available anytime after 5 pm on weekdays. On weekends I am very flexible. I do offer boarding but would prefer to keep your fur baby in their living environment to help with comfortability. I will tend to your animals and home based on your notes. If notes are not provided I will care for your pet and home as if it were mine, with care and love.
“Steff was a wonderful cat sitter!! She and Maddy got along super well, and she was always super thorough and communicative throughout the time I was away. She even made sure Maddy was taken care of when the lock on my door broke!”
“Sam took great care of my cat Elsa while I was away. She gave her the medicine she needed and made sure she ate. Her litter box was clean and I enjoyed the pictures of Elsa every day.”
“Staci was great. She made two visits to my home for my pups while I was gone for the day to take them outside and feed them. My boys LOVED her. She sent me pictures of them cuddling on her lap. I was a little jealous. LOL I will definitely be using her again.”
“Tricia was wonderful with our 2 cats. We were away for a weekend for our daughter’s wedding so we needed someone that would care for them like we would. Tricia did that & more. It was wonderful to not have to worry about our fur babies while we were celebrating our human baby. Thank you Tricia!”
About: I have been an animal lover since I was a little girl. I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life and have experience with feeding, walking, and playing with fur babies of all ages. I am currently in my clinical year of PA school. Unfortunately, I don’t have a set schedule as every few weeks my rotation changes and I get a new schedule. However, I am usually free on weekends and am willing to get up early or stay up late any day of the week to care for your pets. I have a large fenced in yard. I also have 1 dog at home who is very friendly as well as two cats who are shy and are usually hiding, but don’t mind other animals.
“This was my first time using Rover to board my cat for 10 days and Hayley’s flexibility and responsiveness made it so easy!! She was absolutely great and I would happily leave my cat with her again—she was so good with him and sent lots of pictures to let me know he was having a good time :)”
“Cara was awesome! She took care of my kitty while I was away. She was extremely friendly, and gave me check-ins with pictures every time even showing that the food and water were full and the litter box was clean. I highly recommend her!! Thanks Cara!”
“I had the absolute best experience with Lindsay K. and can't recommend her enough to anyone who needs pet sitting services! She took care of my two cats for a week while I was in the process of moving, and from the very start (booking on the app) she made everything so easy and completely stress-free. She was incredibly communicative, flexible, and accommodating with scheduling - which I really appreciated while things were a little hectic on my end. She sent me at least three updates a day, complete with photos and little notes about how they were doing, what they were up to, and how they were eating and behaving. It was so reassuring and honestly a huge relief to know they were being so well looked after. One of my cats acts like she owns the place (any place) and the other is pretty shy and takes a while to warm up to new people. Lindsay easily accommodated their individual personality preferences and silly sibling dynamic so that both cats were clearly getting lots of love and attention every day. She was so patient, kind, and gentle with my scaredy cat that he warmed up quickly and was comfortable and happy in her care. It’s not easy to find someone like Lindsay who is not only reliable and professional, but also genuinely thoughtful and caring when it comes to bonding with pets. I felt completely at ease leaving my cats in her care, and was happy to bring home two very content and well-cared-for kitties. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, look no further — she’s the best! 100/10 stars and would 100% book again the next time I need a cat sitter!”
About: I have a lot of experience with dogs and only a few with cats but i love both and i am very excited to spend some time with your pets! Available all business days before 10am and after 2:30! If you have something outside of that, let me know and I can try and figure something out! I typically can’t care for pets in my home because I dorm at Eastern University, but in your home, my priority would be the animals well being and also your homes cleanliness.
About: Hello! My name is Samantha, and I’ve been surrounded by fur babies my entire life. Growing up, I had two miniature poodles, one of whom had special needs. He struggled with chronic allergies and a seizure disorder, and I helped care for him with daily medications and a special diet that gave him a long, happy life until he passed at 16 years old. Today, my family includes two standard poodles, two parrots, and a rabbit. Beyond that, I also care for the wildlife around my home. I feed 20–30 blue jays daily, I feed stray cats, and I’ve built enough trust with the wild rabbits in my yard that they now let me hand-feed them. Those quiet moments with animals bring me so much joy. In high school, I pursued my passion for animal care by completing the BOCES veterinary program, where I earned two Awards of Excellence. I also hold a Veterinary Medical Assistant certification, which reflects my dedication to giving animals the love and care they deserve. I’m starting college this fall and am excited about my future, but my love for animals will always hold a big place in my heart. That’s why I’ve decided to make room for even more fur babies by offering my help here to anyone in need. I’m flexible with my schedule and happy to work with you to find times that best fit your pet’s needs. Any time of the day you need, I’m there. When it comes to caring for your dogs, I make safety and trust my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your pup, staying with them in your home, or just dropping by for a visit, you can count on me to treat them as if they were my own. I always pay close attention to their surroundings, making sure walks are safe, leashes are secure, and they’re never put in uncomfortable situations. Your trust means everything to me, and I know how important it is to feel at ease when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain consistency with their routines, and keep communication open so you always know how they’re doing. I also believe a calm, positive environment is key to happy pets. Whether it’s giving them plenty of exercise, engaging playtime, or just quiet companionship, I do my best to create an environment where your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved.
“Gabby's services went above and beyond my expectations. A true professional caregiver. Her home is dog friendly and and very safe. A completely fenced in yard and comfortable accommodations for your pet. My dog Mia was adopted from a shelter only 5 months before I had to travel for 9 days, I could not bear to put her back in a shelter environment. After my meet and greet I felt completely sure that Mia would be happy here. Mia is very shy and timid, Gabby spent much time with her, even allowed her to sleep with her in her bedroom. Mia was a very picky eater and Gabby solved that problem by giving me several tips to encourage Mia to eat. Her Family truly loves dogs and it was very evident to me that they enjoyed having Mia as much as Mia enjoyed being there. I can not say any more. Mia was well cared for in every way and I now look forward to my next trip, because I know that if Gabby is available I can travel without worrying about Mia. Gabby and her family provided an excellent dog care experience.”

“Wonderful! Thank you so much! I was hesitant to use an app to take care of Heidi but I couldn't have asked for better care. I (and Heidi) look forward to future visits. Thanks!”
Khadijah M.
“She has had a love for animals since she was a young child. When I first got a dog you would have thought it was her sister rather than my pet. She cared for her as if she was a baby, would always make sure she was groomed properly, feed her, take her out for walks. She even brought her cute little dog outfits. During Covid when the groomers were closed she would come over and bathe her and when it was time lightly trim her hair so it wouldn’t be to long and wild. When my dog passed away Khadijah helped me arrange a funeral and burial for her like she was truly a member of the family. She currently has a cat that I truly believe is her son because that is how she cares for him.”

Elizabeth C.
“I can’t recommend Elizabeth enough! She took care of my dog while I was away, and I was especially anxious since he had been sick just a few days prior. Elizabeth went above and beyond, not only did she give him the most attentive, loving care, but she also handled everything with such calm and kindness. When he had an accident, she didn’t hesitate to clean it up and even did the laundry without me asking. Knowing he was in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind. She’s truly the kind of person you want caring for your pet.”

“Anisah is a very reliable dog sitter. She took care of my 9 month energetic giant schnauzer. Everything went perfect. They went to the park and she made sure the house and my dog were ready when I came home.”
Jamie H.
“Jamie was great and Jeff loved his walk with her. She was friendly and caring. Jeff can’t wait for his next visit. I would highly recommend her.”
Samantha C.
“Samantha is one of the sweetest and kindest people I know, with a huge heart for all animals. She helps my husband and I care for our poodles, especially my male poodle who has hip dysplasia and an injured leg. He receives injections twice a week for his condition and takes Dasuquin daily to support his joint health, and Samantha has been such a big help with his care. My husband and I also feel at ease when we travel, knowing that our dogs are in her hands. She truly gives us peace of mind. What makes Samantha so special is the way she connects with animals on such a genuine level. She is patient, gentle, and always attentive to their needs. Even when my poodle has his tough days, she takes the time to comfort him and make sure he feels safe. She doesn’t just handle the basics of feeding or walking, she notices the little details that matter, like when he’s moving a bit stiff or when he just needs some extra love and attention. She’s also incredibly reliable, which is something that’s hard to come by. It’s clear that she doesn’t just see this as a responsibility but as something she truly cares about. Whether it’s helping us with the medical side of things, giving them playtime, walking them or just being there for snuggles, Samantha puts her whole heart into it.”
