I found Chen through Rover to drop in and take care of my two cats for six days while I was away, and she did an excellent job. From the start, she carefully wrote down all the details I shared about my cats’ routines, which gave me confidence that she truly listened and cared. Every day, she provided thorough and timely updates, including how much each cat ate, their litter box habits, and their energy levels. She consistently refreshed their water, fed them meals and treats as instructed, and made an effort to interact and engage with both cats so they wouldn’t feel lonely. Chen comes across as very responsible, well-educated, and trustworthy. Because of her attentiveness and clear communication, I felt much less anxious leaving both my cats and my home in her care. I highly recommend Chen to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter, and I will definitely book her again in the future.

About: Hi! My name is Scarlett, and I’m a huge animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets. I previously had a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and caring to look after your furry family members. I’ve also helped friends and family with both dog sitting and cat sitting over the years. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, giving them attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very responsible, friendly, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or calm and shy, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care, love, and companionship. I’d be happy to send updates and photos so you can feel relaxed knowing your pet is in good hands! I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, spending time playing with them, and making sure they get enough attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m available for walks and pet sitting during both weekdays and weekends. I always try to make pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. always prioritize a pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure and relaxed, especially when meeting someone new. I’m very patient, attentive, and careful with each pet’s individual needs and personality. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they have a clean, calm, and safe environment.

My two cat babies and I are SO lucky to have found Bradey! She's not only good at her job, but she is also so detail oriented, compassionate, and communicative! I felt so at ease being thousands of miles away on vacation leaving my two babies with her. Even during a minor miscommunication mishap she was ON it to fix it immediately, and that she did. We would have her again and again! Thank you Bradey!!!

I have Ailen scheduled for recurring drop-in visits four days a week while I work 12-hour shifts as a nurse, and I couldn’t be happier. She is incredibly communicative, always punctual, and consistently goes above and beyond. I really appreciate how much time and care she gives my dog, and she even takes a moment to say hi to my cats, which means a lot. She is professional, trustworthy, and truly reliable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.

She sent me updates daily and even took a picture of one of my cats. In addition, she brought in my trash cans which I left out before leaving for my trip. If you're looking for someone who knows a lot about cats, takes very good care of your cat(s) and provides daily updates, I highly recommend Lauren. She is very good, reliable, and trustoworthy. I won't hesitate to use Lauren again in the future.

Logan provided wonderful care of my cat Saja while I was away for 11 days. Without any hesitation I will ask for her again. For a kitty who only sits in my lap, not friendly with other humans, I was very pleasantly surprised when Logan sent me a picture of Saja in her lap! That says it all.

Chen watched our cats, Moose and Rocky, during our 10-day trip to Japan, and we honestly could not have asked for a better sitter. Our boys are very people-oriented cats and don’t enjoy being alone, so leaving them for an extended trip was something we were nervous about. Chen completely put our minds at ease. During her twice-daily visits, she went above and beyond to make sure they got plenty of playtime, affection, and attention. It was clear from every update that she genuinely cared about them and wanted them to feel loved while we were away. She would often stay longer than scheduled just to give them extra companionship, which was incredibly kind and appreciated. One of the highlights of every day of our trip was receiving Chen’s detailed check-in reports and photos. We looked forward to them so much. Seeing Moose and Rocky happy, relaxed, and getting lots of love allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation without worrying about them. We truly feel so lucky to have found Chen. She is caring, dependable, communicative, and clearly has a special connection with animals. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
