“Phelan was great and very communicative! She kept me updated throughout her stay and sent a bunch of pictures which I appreciated. Clark was comfortable and well taken care of!”
“Ashley was great! She was available for a last minute pet sitting request and did a great job with our 2 dogs and 1 cat. They all loved Ashley. Definitely recommend her!”
“Alexis showed so much care for my kitty, Roo! She was consistent and transparent throughout the entire visit. I will absolutely book with her again.”
“Ozzy charmed our dogs, and our dogs were charmed by Ozzy. They were a bit late, but communicated that they would be. They fed our dogs, gave them their medications, and set the bar pretty high for us, by giving them lots of love and pets while we were away. We look forward to hiring them again, and we highly recommend them.”
About: I work in the veterinary field as an assistant and am also Fear Free certified. This means I am trained to handle my patients using techniques to reduce their fear, stress and anxiety. I'm very knowledgeable and experience in veterinary medicine, as well as years of pet sitting. I am comfortable administering medications, nail trimming, ear cleanings and following any other routines you may have for your pet! My job gives me the opportunity to care for people's pets on a regular basis. I do work different shifts at my job, however I do know my schedule a month ahead of time which makes it easier for me to let you know when I would be available for drop ins. I do also have 3 cats and a bearded dragon of my own at home. My cats are a big priority for me at home. One of my cats is on a special diet and another gets medications twice daily. They all receive routine veterinary care and lots of love from both of us. We do not allow other's pets in our home as we have to consider the stress level of our own cats. However, I have many references of those who have trusted me in their own home to take care of their animals. You'll never have to worry about me leaving a mess or neglecting your pet's needs, we will always be in touch while they are under your care. Please feel free to ask for photos or videos to make sure they are doing well!
“Lauren stayed with our dog while we were away for a few days. She is very nice, prompt, and professional. She sent pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. We came home to a happy dog. We got back later than we expected due to airline issues and she was very accommodating by staying until we got home. I highly recommend her.”
“Michelle is the best! I have had her house & pet sit for me numerous times. She is always reliable and communicates quickly. It's nice that I can travel knowing that my Paisley is well taken care of!”
“Shannon house sat my two pups for the day. She was on time, professional and even sent me pictures of them (and I didn’t even ask!). One of my dogs is deaf so it can be challenging finding sitters that we trust. 5/5 and will book her again.”
“I was so anxious to leave my senior dog with someone but Amanda did AMAZING. She communicated with me flawlessly and followed the care directions I gave her perfectly. She was very respectful of our home and left it just how it was when she arrived. I highly recommend”
“Thank you so much, Linda, for showing so much love for my kitty and baby, Roo! Linda offered consistent and compassionate updates about how Roo was doing and sent many pictures. I feel fully confident to leave Roo in Linda’s care and will absolutely continue to book with her.”
“Christina was an absolute blessing to 13-lb Iorek for my 10-day trip. Iorek has many special needs, and from the moment we made first contact, Christine was sensitive to learning his needs and enthusiastic to accommodate them. This approach persisted throughout my 10 days away while she stayed at my apartment to care for Iorek. Each day, I received adorable photos and updates written thoughtfully and with a clear intent to put my anxious dog-mom mind at rest. Christine ensured that Iorek’s routine was disturbed as little as possible, including facilitating play dates with neighbors (both dog and human). I returned home to a puppy free of anxiety or stress, and a tidy and clean home, all linens washed from her use and everything in its place. What a delight! I can’t say enough good stuff about Christine. If you’re lucky enough to book her, your pet will thank you! My future travel plans will always include Christine.”
“Natasha was amazing. She met with us before sitting for us and made sure she knew everything she needed to know beforehand. She was very gentle and kind with our girls and patient with our senior dog. She sent us pics and let us know how they were doing. Very trustworthy in our home and respected our wishes of not having anyone over (which we’ve had problems with in the past with other dog sitters.) We will definitely be using her again as our regular sitter.”
“Heather walks my dog on the days I work, and she is incredibly reliable, so communicative and very quickly responsive. My dog loves her too, and I always appreciate the pictures she’s sends on their walks. Recently, we went out of town for the weekend, and Heather house sat. She sent multiple updates and pictures a day, which was so appreciated, and was just as communicative and reliable as always! I felt so secure leaving my guy and home knowing Heather would be there to take care of home. Thank you again!!”
“Clyanna did a fantastic job keeping Trixie safe and happy while we were gone. She was very patient and accommodating to allow Trixie to warm up to her and then they were great friends. I recommend Clyanna for shy pets.”
“Barbara was committed through the house and dog sitting and patient when I was unable to communicate quickly due to my travel schedule. My two dogs had lots of time playing outdoors with her, and I feel like her stay helped my younger rescue pup come out of her shell to ‘strangers’ more :) She’s even been easier on the leash since I got home! :)”
“We were very satisfied with our pet sitters! They did a great job taking care of our four dogs and one cat. They stayed in our home, respected our space, and sent daily updates, which gave us great peace of mind. Everyone was happy and well cared for—highly recommend!”
“Chloe was so great with my puppy Dexter! I would definitely recommend her and hire her again!”
“1st time Rover user. I cannot say enough good things about Miles. He is kind, compassionate, responsible. He sent pictures and communicated everyday. He took care of the mail and my house. I feel safe leaving my 3 boy cats with Miles, anytime. I certainly will be booking him again. Thank you, Miles.”
“Merissa is so wonderful, kind, prompt, and genuinely caring!! My boy loved her and she took amazing care of him!! Highly recommend her for all your pet care needs!”
“Jenna and Aiden were absolutely a dream! My dogs were well cared for. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a house in better shape than when we left. They absolutely went above and beyond. They gave us updates on the dogs with pictures. We will be using them again!”

5. Emily P.
“Our cat can be a bit picky about who she likes. It normally takes meeting someone multiple times for her to come over and say hi. But with Emily, our cat felt safe with her the very first time they met. I trust Emily instinctively to care for my cat when I need to be away for an extended period of time- including checking in and spending quality time with her, doing all the cat maintenance items, and Emily has even stayed overnight at my apartment when I was away. I feel extremely safe and respected with Emily in my home and know that my little fluff ball is well cared for.”
