“Kristie did an awesome job caring for our fur babies while we were gone. Our pup required a little extra attention with his current meds and additional walks. She stayed on top of it and was able to check in on him regularly throughout the day. Both him and our cat seemed happy and cared for when we got home. So glad to have found her and will definitely use again!”
“Julie did an amazing job connecting with my cat. Usually when I return my cat is not very happy. The cat was very peaceful which matters since she’s elderly and has health issues. I highly recommend Julie. I also felt relaxed while away getting updates on a daily basis.”
“This was our first time booking with Lyndsi and it was a great experience! I loved reading her synopsis of each drop in visit and looking at the photos. She was great with communication and I could tell that she really cared about my pups and their wellbeing. Will definitely be using Lyndsi in the future.”
“Aaron was excellent. We have 2 cats, one old who is friendly, and the other ex feral who is usually terrified of strangers. There I am visiting family, and I get a video of my "feral" bumping around getting her head & butt scratched! Quite a testament to the kind of person Aaron is. The litterbox was spotless. The cat food dishes were washed and neatly stacked. We will not hesitate to use him again.”
“I cannot thank you enough! Wow thank you for bringing in our packages too - you’re the best. :) we will definitely hire you again for our next trip. Couldn’t be more thrilled with your thoughtful care and thorough updates. ?”
“Elizabeth took great care of our cats while we were away. While they’re too shy for socializing, she ensured that their food, water, and litter boxes were maintained. We would recommend Elizabeth and schedule with her again!”
About: Just like caring for my daughter, I care for my dog just as well. And if I’m caring for your pet, chanced are they are being absolutely spoiled and will be worn out by the time they are returned to you. I am great at training and could have yours doing new tricks by the time they are returned. I can even groom/ nail trim on occasion if needed, just ask. I understand our pets are our family and like me, you’ll probably worry about them staying with a complete stranger. You’ll worry about them from the second you leave them with me until you get them back. But I promise I’ll care for them as they are my own. I’ll send photos frequently as I I know this eases worry. I do require you provide a crate in the chance wi leave the house. Your welcome to check in on them anytime without worrying that your bothering me. I work part time at a school so I am available to allow pets to relieve themselves and even get some energy through the day. I would care for a pet the way the owner cares for them. I wouldn’t want to change the pts daily routine so keeping them on schedule and following the woners pet rules is how I work.
“Kara was wonderful as always! She gives great updates and pictures, informs you on any unusual changes for your pet, and gives all the snuggles or playtime your cat needs. We will definitely keep utilizing Kara in the future. Thanks for making Ramen feel loved while we were out of town!”
“Madison was a wonderful caretaker for our pups (and cat) while we were away. She was super friendly and loving with our animals. We got lots of pics and updates while we were gone. Her communication is great, too. Thanks Madi!”
About: Hi friends! I am an energetic person who LOVES the outdoors and basically any kind of animal. I am blessed enough to be able to work for my husband for his concrete business so I am home (mostly) all day every day! I have 3 dogs myself; a Border Collie, GSP, and a mixed breed (half Great Pyrenees, half Australian Shepherd). They are my babies. I live on 19 acres that is all fenced but 18 of those acres are occupied for our 13 goats and 3 llamas! No worries though, we have a huge fenced in area directly beside/where our house sits just for dogs! We also have a doggie door from inside, leading to the outdoor area, so your dog will definitely get the exercise and outdoor time they deserve, as well as coming and going as they please! :) I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! Monday-Thursday with some weekends! We travel a lot over the weekends in the summer so weekends are limited but I will keep my weekend schedule updated We have a doggie door leading to the fenced in area for our dogs so they are able to come and go as they please. If you aren’t comfortable with the doggie door, I will make sure your pet does not use it and I will take them out for breaks frequently!
“Stephanie is the greatest! She was very accommodating to my schedule, before even taking care of our Titan (when meeting Titan for the first time and grabbing my keys). Her updates were thorough, timely and enjoyable to receive. I recommend Stephanie to anyone who wants to leave their pup in good hands.”
“I adopted my dog fairly recently so I was nervous about leaving her with someone else for the weekend, but Megan was extremely attentive and made me feel comfortable on day 1! She was wonderful about providing updates and asking about details I hadn't even considered. I have a cat as well and I could tell they were both very fond of her by the end of the weekend. I would definitely recommend Megan to anybody looking for a petsitter.”
About: I grew up with 3 dogs and 4 cats. All rescues, all wild and crazy. Im exceptional at reading/hearing dog language and body language. I can tell what is an appropriate greeting and what is not an acceptable greeting. Whether its dog to dog or dog to human. I can tell if a dog is uncomfortable or agitated. Food aggressive, toy aggressive, and aggressively jealous of attention etc. I've been pet sitting most of my life now. I worked at many dog rescues, resorts, and kennels. I once had to sprint with my dog in my arms from coyotes. Not because he was scared but because he was excited to meet them. Picked up on that real quick. 45lb lanky Aussie. Time is not your friend in dire situations like that. Thinking clearly and picking an action under pressure comes with experience. Since he was 2, I knew my dog was too sweet for aggression. With that said, I take your dogs' safety serious. Moving forward, I've walked Great Danes in the valleys of Los Angeles and walked cute chihuahuas in North Carolina, and I've assisted with wolfdog care in Tennessee. I have ran into way too many stray dogs in my life! I was chased by chihuahuas and pitbulls on bike in Los Angeles for many summers. I've been exposed to many 4 legged creatures and respect them all the same. I currently have a pitbull mastiff. I know her like the back of my hand; yet she still surprises me at times. Shes 14 years old and killed a groundhog 2 months ago. You can know your dog but they'll still catch you off guard! Im a pretty fit individual; so can your dog keep up with me?? FUNNNNN FACT: 🐾 🐾 Just like humans are left or right-handed, dogs can also show a preference for using one paw over the other. You can test this by observing which paw they use first when playing or reaching for something! PSA: My dog will never be exposed to yours. Ever. My schedule is pretty flexible. If im not home, im outside somewhere on this planet. You can find me dropping trees, playing soccer, reading, doing homework, or sun bathing with my 4 legged lemon pound cake of a dog. I stay busy and I also have time slots during the week to check on your 4 legged babies. My yard is open, so I always walk pets on a leash. In a client's home, I just abide by what the owner states. I don't go against wishes because it takes 1 time to make a mistake. In my own home I usually let dogs have free roam unless advised otherwise.
“Ariel went above and beyond while we were gone for a week. Betty and Rocco were very happy when we came back and the house and the yard looked great. Will definitely use her again soon.”
About: I currently pet sit for my friends and family, but I would love to meet even more furry friends! I have always been a passionate animal lover. When I was thirteen I went vegetarian because of my love for animals and have never looked back. I have been working with dogs and cats since I was 8. My grandma had ties to the Savannah humane society and frequently took me along to volunteer for them. When I was a teenager I fostered a puppy and then a kitten who both needed to be bottle fed and I really loved the experiences. During covid I adopted my two cats (Bandsaw and Lathe) and realized my cat lady destiny. I moved in with my boyfriend shortly after, and together we now have 4 cats (Bandsaw, Lathe, Challa, and Shurri). Last year, I cared for two neighborhood stray cats and was able to tame them, to the point that one was able to be adopted out, and the other socialized enough for pets and treats. I am a ceramic artist and product designer by trade, and my cat Lathe has been my muse since I met her. A lot of my ceramic work is centered on cats and dogs, and I have designed 3 cat lamps for mass manufacture for a major retailer which are currently on the market. I have painted pet portrait commissions on and off since I was 15. I am a freelance designer and an independent artist, so I generally have open availability, and would love to help take care of your pets! I am more than happy to change the litter box, walk your dogs, administer medicine, crate cats/dogs if necessary, and any other special requests that you as the owner might have. It is important to me to treat animals with love and respect, so I always introduce myself slowly and read their body language before doing anything else.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 15. I’ve had experience with a wide range of pets, including many ages and fun personalities. I currently work part time so I’m available to give your pet the time they need. I live in Leicester which gives me the opportunity to help out in any surrounding area. I live in a studio apartment but have a large yard that can be used for dogs enrichment. I am also very active and love hiking which makes a fun adventure for animals looking for exercise.
“Autumn is great! Whether she is stopping by to let my dog out or boarding him for the weekend, I always feel confident that he is getting the utmost love and care. She is reliable, communicative and dependable and my dog and I highly recommend her!”
“Elizabeth took great care of our cat while we were out of town! She was alerted us to some health stuff going on while we were gone which we really appreciated. She also sent some great photos/video.”

Leicester cat parents share their Rover experiences
Kristie has continued to be an incredible support in keeping a sense of comfort and safety in my home while I’m gone. I trust her completely with my cats and my home. She goes above and beyond and handles changes and issues like it’s nothing. She’s a true pro and I’m grateful to have found her.
Makenzy is so wonderful with my little cat. She is very conscientious and great with my pet. She’s my kitty’s good friend as I can see in the lovely photos of him, happy and playful. She tells me how he’s doing and I really appreciate her lively descriptions. She is a delight to work with.
They did a great job looking after my two cats. They were diligent and communicative. My cats eat raw food and they did a great job managing their dietary needs. They went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of. I was able to really relax and enjoy my trip knowing my cats were in good hands. I am deeply appreciative and would highly recommend them!
