“This was my first experience with Rover and Violeta set the bar very high. My cat has a lot of needs and Violeta did a great job meeting those needs and keeping me informed while I was away.”
“Ashley did a great job caring for our kitties and helping out with my last minute instruction changes. For future trips we’d be happy booking her again ????”
“Tracie is amazing! This is our second and third time using her over the Christmas and New Years holidays and we couldn’t be more pleased!! She always kept us updated on which of our kitties she saw that day and she was determined to win them over, and surprisingly almost got there! I love the determination because I am the same way with other peoples kitties. You can tell she really cares about animals and really goes above and beyond for them. I also really appreciate her keeping me updated on anything house related she noticed, and her bringing in any packages we had sitting outside. She even left our kitties a sweet little Chrismas gift! We will absolutely continue to use her moving forward and would highly recommend her to anyone else. Thanks again Tracie!!”
“Paige was a pleasure to work with. Coco and Mo were happier to see Paige each day than us I think! Both kitties still miss her and we’ve been home a day! Paige was super responsive, sent plenty of pics each drop-in, and allowed us to have a great vacation with absolutely no worries knowing that the situation back home was perfectly in hand. Paige is great! Hire her and you won’t have a thing to worry about! Thanks Paige!”
“Grace was amazing, She genuinely loves animals and it felt stress free leaving our fur babies with her. She knew how to take care of them and I know they loved her too! She was constantly in touch with us giving updates and taking pictures. I appreciated it so much and will 100% book again with her”
“Another great trip knowing our Vader cat was well taken care of! Love getting photos to see he’s ok and Chelsea always makes sure to give him lots of love during her visit. Thanks again for great service and care during our travels!”
“Stephanie was terrific! She took great care of Rocky and the pics she sent each day were a help to ease my mind about being away for so long. Even though Rocky wanted to go out it was important that Stephanie keep him in and she did. She did all that was ask and more and I am so appreciative that she was able to do her daily visits. I never use a service like this before but after this I definitely will in the future. I highly recommend Stephanie for this service. Thank you so much Stephanie W.”
“Bria was the best! She was very communicative and made sure to keep us in the loop about the care of our cat. She was punctual, easy to reach, and took the most care of our anxious cat, Mira. We will definitely be using Bria for Mira’s care again in the future. Thanks again!”

“I needed a cat sitter very last minute and Jill and Tom came through! I was able to be away from home all week without worry. I got regular updates and photos from each drop in. This was my first time using Rover and needing a sitter in general and it was a very good experience with Jill and Tom that I’d feel confident using again!”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing with our girls! They warmed up to her right away and she got the best pictures of them. I was at ease knowing they were in her care while we were away.”

About: I’ve been trusted by my neighbors and friends to care for their pets for the last 8 years. I have a mini golden doodle who is my whole world! I ensure that pets are not only fed/walked/given necessities but also played with and loved! I am an animal lover of all kinds. My experience is primarily with dogs and cats, though I have also cared for hamsters, guinea pigs, and snakes! I am clean, organized, and a great communicator. I look forward to take care of your furry family ❤️ I am currently a teacher on summer vacation so I have ample time to spend making sure that your pets are nurtured and cared for. I go the extra mile to ensure that my home is clean/neat even in the midst of caring for my dog which can get messy! I will be sure to do the same for you. I am detail oriented and excellent at following instructions to ensure that your pets will be cared for just the way you would like.
“Yvonne is a very good pet sitter. While I was away for a weekend I just needed drop in visits for my cat. Yvonne followed all instructions for feeding and other care for my cat. During my time away I had peace of mind knowing that my cat was being cared for. I loved how Yvonne updated me throughout her drop in visits which included pictures of my pet. I will certainly be a return client for Yvonne she is an excellent pet sitter!”
About: Hello! I’m Erin, a full-time high school teacher and pet-sitter on the side. I’m an animal lover and I have been pet sitting for 10+ years. I have a ton of experience caring for a variety of dog breeds and cats, as well as a few smaller animals (rabbits, hamsters, birds, and fish). I’m calm, caring, and patient, with a soft spot for senior animals. I’ve had a great deal of experience caring for my own senior pets (both dogs and cats). I’ve provided care for animals with diapers, medication, and mild mobility issues. I’m also experienced in caring for diabetic cats and administering insulin, as I’ve helped two of my rescues go into remission. I strive to provide the best care possible for pets, and peace of mind for their owners! I’m currently a full time as a high school teacher, so from 7:35-3:05 on week days, I’m usually at work. If I am pet sitting during the week, I head straight to the pets at the end of the work day. On weekends, I am able to dedicate most, if not all, of the day to spending time with your pets. This is also the case over the summer. I provide pet care in client’s homes, per the directions provided by the clients. Prior to caring for your pet(s), I ask that we arrange a time for me to meet your pet(s) and go over all pertinent information regarding their care and safety.
About: My fur baby genuinely makes every day of my life better. Pets are the purest form of love and trust, and it is so special that we get to share that! I love animals of all shapes and sizes, including ones that have more than 4 legs 🕷️ reptiles 🦎 or rodents 🐀 I have been pet/house sitting since my teenage years, for neighbors, family members, and by recommendation. I love the outdoors and being active, if your pet does too we are sure to have ourselves an adventure! Young or senior, your pet will have their needs tended to and their senses engaged (or respect their space if they prefer to have less socialization). I currently do freelance work and I can make and set my own schedule. I have a lot of flexibility to tend to your fur babies! I am a very empathetic human, so making sure your animal is happy and healthy fills me with joy! I respect and understand that every fur baby is different and has their own needs and personality. I look forward to listening & learning what your pet loves and needs!
