“I am thrilled to recommend Ashleigh as a sitter on Rover. Ashleigh took amazing care of my six month old kittens for the first time while my husband I went away for two nights. Ashleigh followed my detailed care instructions perfectly. She was punctual to the minute for each visit which meant my kittens had a consistent routine while we were away. She was able to take many photos of the cats and wrote detailed notes about how specific things went. Ashleigh took the time to get to know my animals’ personalities and took care of them as if they were her own. I appreciated Ashleigh’s light hearted and thorough communication style! I found it extremely easy to stay in touch with her and could tell my animals were in good hands when we were away. Upon returning home we found the kittens were very relaxed and not stressed in the slightest. I’m excited to continue to use Ashleigh’s services in the future.”
“Elizabeth was amazing to work with. Incredibly professional, friendly and responsive. I felt so safe leaving her with my cat Shredder, especially given her background in pet care and veterinary medicine. Thank you so much for your grace and understanding during the past 2 weeks, it truly meant a lot to me. 100% would recommend to anyone in the area seeking pet care.”
“I had a positive experience with Megan. She provided my cat with all the attention he needed and made sure he was well cared for while I was away. I loved all the cute pictures she also took!”
“Autumn was fantastic! We had been hesitant to find a new cat sitter after we moved, but we couldn’t have been more pleased with Autumn. She took care of both our cats, including our new kitten who is a bit on the rambunctious side. Food, water, litter box, treats, and playtime - she did it all. She even offered to bring some of her own litter box bags when we ran out. We’d highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”
“This is maybe our 5th(?) vacation with Molly caring for our two cats. Molly is great and reliable - it’s why we have been booking her for 3+ years! This is the first year both cats have had to take meds and she was a pro about it. Can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Having a sitter stay in our home with Sophie was a good decision for her. She and Aleia seemed to do very well together and we will definitely ask for Aleia in the future. We very much liked receiving the photos while we were away.”
About: Hello, I've been dog walking for over 4 years, pet sitting included! I have found my niche and caring for animals and making them happy! I not only want to walk and care for them but be their friend. Someone they can be happy to see and trust! I have a few dogs I walk each day but I'm looking for more! I walk each day but have a flexible schedule, looking to care for more fur friends. I currently live with 3 cats so pet sitting here is not ideal but can definitely pet sit at others homes with great care and attention.

The cats can sometimes be stubborn about taking their meds but Justin was patient with them and got them to take them. Sadly, one of our cats passed away leaving the other cat depressed. Justin stayed at the house and spent extra time with him. He sent pictures of my cat happy and content. I highly recommend Justin if you’re looking for an experienced pet sitter.”
