Jessica was amazing! I really appreciated how she listened to my concerns about previous pet sitters and spent a lot of time playing and giving love to my cat, Mila! Mila is very social, so it was a relief she had a friend for a daily drop in while I was on vacation. Thanks for the photos!!

Julie was absolutely paws-down AMAZING! I have 8-month old kittens that were abandoned by their mum when they were about 5 weeks old so they're very shy around other humans. I was nervous about going leaving for 10 days (with no phone reception) thinking that even if a sitter came to look in on them, the kitties would hide and essentially get no interaction while I was gone. After reading a bunch of profiles, I found Julie and her experience gave me hope that she could be a good fit with some shy fur babies, but she ended up exceeding any expectations that I had! I appreciated that she came and met with us beforehand so that the kitties could get a feel for her and I was shocked to see that on the first day of her 30 minute visits, Julie was able to coax them all out of hiding for a photo! This literally does not happen with other people and I'm still convinced she is magic :) Also loved reading the report cards each day of the progress the kitties were making with her and how more and more comfortable they were becoming. It really was a testament to me of how good she is with animals! I came home to clean litterboxes, full water and food dishes, a stack of mail on my table, and 3 incredibly happy kitties that, truth be told, almost seemed disappointed it was me instead of Julie. It was as if I hadn't even been gone, which, for a first-timer like me, was a dream come true! So happy to have found Julie and to know there is someone that both me and my fur babies can trust for the next time I need to be out of town!

Addie was wonderful and my doggies both loved her! She took a ton of pictures while she was here & I could clearly see the pups were walked and played with during her time at the house. I will definitely be booking again!

I cannot say enough good things about Kelli! I always have a little bit of anxiety leaving our pets behind but she did such a good job communicating that I didn’t have to worry at all! She’s incredibly kind and considerate, and you can tell she really loves your pets well. She’s going to be my number one pet sitting call from here on out!

Rhianna has been doing drop-in visits for our 3-month old puppy and it's been great! She always responds quickly, comes on time, and plays a lot with our energetic fur baby. From the pictures she sends us, it is clear that our puppy is having a great time and and loves to play with her. We appreciate her very much!

Catherine was excellent in every way! Had scheduled with her a little over a week in advance and then had my older pet pass away right before the trip—she was incredibly helpful at helping me edit the number of pets scheduled for her to drop-in on via the Rover site and was very kind about my loss. Professional, sent lots of pics, and my slow-to-warm-up cat snuggled with her!

Angelee was great! She is very communicative, she sent us photos and videos of Savannah while we were away. Savannah is not the easiest cat to get along with, and she might be moody when she’s alone. But Angelee took her time to establish a connection with Savannah, play with her favorite toys, and make sure she was cared for. Thank you so much, Angelee! ✨

Kara went above and beyond to take care of our cat Mango, she even made sure to have a meet up before starting with the visits. I like how attentive she was, she sent tons of pictures and a very detailed summary of the visits, we’ll definitely contact Kara as our cat sitter again in the future! She’s great and I fully recommend her to anyone.

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and about 9 years of experience with cats. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I understand daily routines, different personalities, and the importance of safe, attentive care. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and recognizing pet behavior and needs. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m a stay-at-home dog mom, so pet care is already a big part of my daily life. My schedule is flexible, and I’m able to give pets consistent attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure. I make sure they are fed on schedule, get fresh water, regular potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, and attention. I also keep the home clean and respect the client’s space.

About: I grew up on a farm so I’ve been around animals my whole life, I miss the rural farm life quite a bit! I’ve worked at Petsmart bathing dogs and really enjoyed it, I worked with dogs that were all shapes, sizes, and ages. My boyfriend and I currently have two cats who we love so much. I’m currently taking care of animals through the university from 7-3:15 Monday through Friday, so I have a pretty open afternoon for your babies! I’m working 7-3:15 Monday through Friday so I have a lot of afternoon time for your little angels. My weekends are mostly free as my partner typically works the weekends. I’m an avid walker and feel like I’m fairly strong as I have a background in farming, archaeology, and now animal care. I will do everything in my power to keep your pets safe as we’re walking.
