“Elizabeth was prompt with her visits and reports. She made me feel secure about being away from Tula. Everything was in order when we returned. I would trust her to check on her again if needed.”
“First time using Amanda for a long weekend. She took special care of our older dog who loves sitting on the front porch and was flexible with timing of his visits. She also did a great job keeping me posted on his visit reports.”
“PSA: BOOK E FOR ALL YOUR PET NEEDS🗣️🔊 I cannot say enough good things about E. We will use them everytime we go on vacation. E came to our place before our trip to get a vibe of the cats, learn the home, and just understand what we needed. It was so professional and made us feel so safe and comforted to leave our cats with E. Immediately, our cats loved E! Every visit, E took so many pictures, and that really helped us on our 2 week vacation. They did everything we asked them too - they tailor their care to what you need them too. E loves all pets and we could immediately feel that. They also caught a big problem! Our AC went out while we were gone, and E let us know, and fixed it by finding the circuit box to turn it back on. That gave us peace of mind and saved us $$$$ to not have to call a HVAC guy. Overall, do yourself a favor and book E!!!🥰🥰”

“Alaina was awesome! Great communication and very helpful with my pet and home as there was severe weather. She made sure not only fern was taken care of but that my house was okay as well.”
“Clear communication and super helpful!”
“Michelle got our older dog to quickly warm up to her and gave our 3 month old puppy extra play time. She left the house and crates in much better shape than we expected with a puppy still being crate trained. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“Joel was great! Very friendly and attentive to our two kitties. Would definitely book again.”
“Carson provided great care, thorough and timely communication, and sweet photos of my kitty. Thank you!”
“Riley has been amazing! She sent pictures everyday and was even able to accommodate when my flights were canceled for another day! 10/10 recommend”
“Lindsay is such a good pet sitter and clearly cares deeply for animals. She even came over to my apartment for free twice, once to get the lay of the land and another to hangout with my kitty so he wouldn’t be afraid when she came to feed and play with him. he was very nervous but quickly opened up and now has a good, dependable friend to care for him when i’m away 😭☺️😊”
About: Howdy! I’ve been caring for various neighbors’ pets since I was a pre-teen. Absolutely adore dogs and their unique ability to connect with humans. I used to sit for various dogs in Los Angeles but now live in New Orleans as a librarian. Looking to walk dogs in spare time or pet sit as applicable! Let’s connect! :) I work full time Monday-Thursday and alternate between having Fridays and Saturdays off. Usually off by 5pm when working. Always have Sundays off. Schedule is flexible. Pet-free apartment nearby parks and good dog-walking residential neighborhoods. Love walking and ensuring the dog has enough outdoor time and opportunities to use the bathroom.
“It was nice to meet Ryan and I look forward to him walking/checking in on the dogs”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I am passionate in caring for them and giving them a good experience! I currently work a part-time job and only work two or three days a week. I am scheduled for my job on Mondays-Wednesdays so I am available throughout the weekends! I live in an apartment complex with a dog park and ample amount of space for your dog to get walks as needed! There is also a pet spa if grooming is needed!
“I hired Jackie to come to my apartment once a week and check on my two beta fish tanks and my tarantula. I was so relieved that she took the job because a lot of people are too intimidated by spiders to accept. She went above and beyond taking care of my fish and my spider, going so far as to troubleshoot my filters and test my tank water. She is extremely knowledgeable about fish and spent a lot of time making sure they were OK. This is so much more than I expected and I felt so confident leaving my pets in her care. She was Amazing with my tarantula and even offered to go to the store and get more crickets for her when she ran out. She sent me pictures and asked questions when she wasn’t sure how to proceed with her and I was really relieved to know that all of my pets were getting a lot of attention and care. It was very obvious that Jackie really cared about doing a good job of taking care of my pets. She is very detailed with her check-in visits and always takes pictures. she is extremely capable and responsible and I felt very safe giving her my keys and access to my house. I would hire Jackie again in a second and if you are looking for a sign to hire her, this is definitely it! Wish I could give her 100 stars.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats and have always loved caring for them. I regularly walk and watch pets for friends and family. I currently have one sweet cat of my own and treat every pet like they’re part of the family! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I work from home with a flexible schedule. Walks are a great midday break, and my evenings and weekends are usually open, making it easy to provide reliable, consistent care throughout the week. When caring for pets in my home or others, I prioritize their safety, comfort and routine, I treat every pet with love, patience, and reliable attention – just like they’re my own. You can trust that your pet is in caring, capable hands at all times.
“Macie took great care of our cats and gave great updates each visit. She ensured they were comfortable while we were away.”
About: I've always been an avid animal lover. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I've been hired multiple times as a dog-sitter and cat-sitter for 6 years now by family, friends, and neighbors. I've always wanted a dog of my own, so I'm always looking for a dog to love on and care for. I currently have a cat, bird, and fish and love them all to pieces. I am a college student, so this will most likely be only a summer job. My hours are very flexible, and any time between 3pm-8pm would work for me. However, I am willing to change this according to my current schedule. I will enjoy playing with your pet inside your home and running with them outside. I can easily feed and care for them, and I am always happy to give you a helpful hand!
“Lanie was great! She gave extra attention to my shy cat and he really warmed up to her. She sent me pictures and updates everyday. It gave me such peace of mind to know he was being well-cared for while I was away”

“Lauren Wright provided exceptional care for Simba while we were away. We received regular updates and pictures, which offered peace of mind. Upon return, Simba was happy, healthy, and appeared well-cared for. Lauren demonstrated experience and knowledge, handling Simba’s medication schedule perfectly, and our energetic dog's long walks with enthusiasm and professionalism. Their communication, reliability, and love for animals are greatly appreciated. Booking them again is highly recommended, and they are recommended to anyone seeking excellent dog care”

Jillian P.
“I absolutely recommend my friend for cat care on Rover! Whenever I'm out of town, she does drop-ins to feed my cat, clean the litter box, and spend time playing with him. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he's not just being looked after, but also getting attention and affection while I'm gone. She's super reliable, keeps everything clean, and truly loves animals. I always come home to a happy, well-cared-for cat!”
