We booked Grace on somewhat shorter notice when our usual Rover sitter was out of town for the holidays. Grace was prompt, polite, and really tried hard to get our kitty to warm up. I think our girl is just a little bit of a diva but Grace handled it well and kept us updated on her progress. Overall very satisfied with our booking with Grace :)

Michele is a kind and caring drop-in cat sitter. She provided excellent care by understanding what was needed and being incredibly communicative. I couldn't have asked for a better person to entrust with the care of my cat and home.

She’s done it again! We used Maggie for drop-ins while we were on a week long trip. She was so good to our pups and gave multiple updates throughout the day. So happy we found someone so trustworthy and loving to take care of our pups while we were away. Thanks again Maggie!! You’re a lifesaver.

About: Hi! I’m Jing — CPA and also a caring and reliable pet sitter with hands-on experience raising both a dog and a cat. I’ve had my dachshund for over three years, and I also cared for my cat for two years, so I’m very familiar with the different needs, personalities, and routines of both species. With dogs, I’m patient and attentive, especially with small breeds like dachshunds that need extra back support and gentle handling. I’m comfortable with walks, enrichment, feeding routines, and keeping a close eye on behavior. With cats, I understand how to read their body language, keep their environment calm, and follow their preferred pace — whether they want cuddles or space. I’m experienced with litter box care, feeding schedules, and helping shy cats feel safe. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my priority. I treat every animal like my own and make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I’m fully working remotely with flexible schedules. So I will give your pet enough attention and play time. Can’t wait to make some quality memories for your baby! I live in apartment with dog park nearby. Easy to go out for walk and have sunbath on the balcony as well. I am experienced with meal prep and necessary medical needs. Please just let me know!

David was so caring and communicative while looking after my dear senior cat for a week. He put my mind at ease while away, leaving very thoughtful messages and updates with lots of pictures from each visit. I could tell my cat and him were bonding, having great quality time! Highly recommend David!

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is that I focus on comfort, structure, and genuine emotional connection. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and seen, and I tailor their routine to their personality, whether they need extra play, quiet companionship, or a little confidence building. I have experience caring for rescues, puppies, and sensitive pets, including those who may be anxious, shy, or adjusting to new environments. I’m patient, calm, and attentive to body language, so pets feel secure and understood. Your pet isn’t just “watched”, they’re engaged, nurtured, and treated like family. Pet care is naturally woven into my routine. I start and end my day with it. Feeding, walks, playtime, and quiet companionship are part of how I structure my mornings and evenings. I enjoy incorporating enrichment activities, training moments, and down-time snuggles throughout the day, so caring for pets doesn’t feel like a task, it’s simply part of life. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on safety, comfort, routine, and communication. I follow your pet’s schedule as closely as possible (meals, potty breaks, walks, meds, enrichment, and downtime) so they feel stable and understood. I pay attention to body language, needs, and preferences, and adjust care to match their personality.

We were lucky that Oleun was available to care for both cats while we were out of State due to to a family illness during the holidays, which included Xmas Eve, Xmas, NYE & NY day. Holidays are a big ask & she was very accommodating. Oleun has a kind and patient demeanor that is important for caring for animals. She interacted with both cats (playing, talking to them, etc.) and is responsible and dependable. We will definitely have her cat sit again as needed and highly recommend her.

About: I've taken care of mine and friends animals for the past 7 years. I'll make sure to keep owners up to date on all activity of the pet. I'm pretty active so I'll play and talk them on walks quite often! I'm very flexible at the moment. The only thing I need is to run a few errands a day otherwise your pets will have my utmost attention. I'll make sure that your pets are cared for walked regularly and keep you updated with photos and messages, so your mind is at ease when you're away I make sure that they are comfortable and all their needs are met. I make sure that they are on your schedule so when you return nothing has changed for them. I love to play and take them out for walks/runs so that they are getting the most while in my care!

About: Hi! I’m Fereshta, a lifelong animal lover with over 6 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, from playful kittens to senior cats and energetic dogs to colorful birds. I’ve taken care of my siblings’ Pomeranian, multiple clients’ cats (including older ones over 16 years old), and even birds like parakeets and a parrot. What sets me apart is my gentle, patient approach — I treat every pet like family and pay close attention to their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s giving extra care to senior cats, following specific feeding routines, or spending time to make shy pets feel safe, I always make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and understood. You can count on me for reliable, compassionate care and genuine affection for your furry (or feathered!) family members! Pet care is a regular part of my daily life — I naturally plan my days around it. I make sure to schedule enough time for feeding, play, walks (if needed), and quiet companionship, especially for cats who need consistency and calm. I’m very organized and flexible, so I can easily adjust my routine to match your pet’s schedule, whether that means early morning feedings, evening visits, or giving medication right on time. Being a full time student with online classes helps me be flexible with my schedule as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care as I would my own. I always follow your specific instructions closely — from feeding routines to preferred play areas and safety measures, to make sure your pets stay comfortable and your home remains just as you left it. Each service is a little different: • House Sitting: I keep your cat or pet’s environment calm, clean, and consistent with their routine. I make sure doors and windows are secure, litter boxes are fresh, and your pet gets plenty of love and attention. • Drop-In Visits: I focus on providing potty breaks, meals, fresh water, and quick cleanups, while still giving them a bit of affection and playtime before I leave. • Walks: Safety is always first — I use secure leashes and harnesses, stay alert to surroundings, and keep walks comfortable and fun based on your pet’s pace and energy. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and cared for; and for you to have total peace of mind while you’re away!

Angela took wonderful care of my cat Peach while I was away on a business trip. She was very attentive and responsible throughout the entire time. Peach had a minor vomiting episode during my trip, and Angela handled the situation calmly and appropriately, keeping me informed and making sure Peach was okay. That gave me great peace of mind. She also took the time to look after my plants, which I really appreciated. Her service was thoughtful, detail-oriented, and truly above and beyond. I would absolutely book with Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

My cats were well taken care of by Mya. As they are my babies, I would only have someone take care of them who would make sure to follow the feed/ water directions thoroughly, give them love and attention, as well as clean the litter thoroughly every visit. I plan on using her for house sitting through Rover in March with my shepherd included in the bargain.
