Mads did such a great job of caring for my apartment and my skittish, chatty cat while I was on a week-long trip out of the country! They were super diligent and consistent in sending me updates and photos of my cat, and they were able to accommodate my rather complicated pet feeding and house plant watering schedule. It was such a relief to come home after a roughly twelve hour flight to find my space in perfect shape and my cat fed and happy! I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them!

Michelle was wonderful with our two dogs! We needed someone to stay with them last minute when our original plans fell through. She communicated with us throughout our time away, sending photos and texts, and left our house just as she found it. Our two dogs appreciated the walks and loving attention and were happy and healthy when we got back. She also was able to administer meds for both our pets. And she was super flexible and able to stay an extra night when we needed to adjust our plans. We will definitely be using Michelle again!

Had a great experience with Tammy, who provided in-home dog-sitting for our two dogs while we were away for a couple of weeks. She was kind, professional, communicative, and took very good care of the fur babies. We returned to a tidy house and a couple of happy, healthy doggos. Will definitely ask her to sit for us again, and would recommend her to others!

Aden was so amazing! I couldn't be happier with the care he provided for my dog while I was gone. He was attentive, communicative, and made sure to keep me updated with frequent messages and lots of pictures of my furbaby. My dog was well cared for and comfortable, which made it much easier for me to enjoy my trip. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to other pet owners!! Thank you Aden.

About: I’m an experienced pet caregiver with a lifelong passion for animals of all personalities, ages, and needs. I’ve worked with shy, anxious, high-energy, and highly social pets, and I understand how to meet each animal exactly where they are; whether that means giving them space to warm up, engaging playtime, or calm companionship. I’m also confident caring for pets with medical needs. I have hands-on experience administering medications, monitoring symptoms, supporting chronic conditions, and keeping detailed notes for owners. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My goal is to make every cat or pet feel safe, seen, and understood while giving you true peace of mind. Whether you’re away for a day or a week, your furry family member will be cared for with patience, attention, and genuine love. I currently work full time in a hybrid position. I can work from pretty much anywhere when I am working remotely which leaves me lots of time in my schedule for your baby! I am happy to follow your lead on the care instructions of your pet! You know them best, so whatever you think will make their time away from you the least stressful is what I will do!

Kieanji was an amazing sitter! She was communicative, responsive and attentive. My cat was quite glad to have her company. I felt assured that Kieanji had it all covered so that I could relax and enjoy my time away. Kieanji upheld my pet’s needs and routine. Kieanji also took the time and care to clean my home and restore order so that I arrived home to a clean house. Such a nice touch! Thank you Kieanji! Would absolutely recommend!

Kathleen was an excellent sitter for Ivy and Elsie. She followed our instructions carefully, and was unbothered by Elsie's special needs (delayed potty training from UTIs in her puppyhood). Not only is Elsie still developing her bladder control and more likely to have accidents, she also needs wiped with medicated wipes after every potty. Kathleen was sure to do this and she also provided regular updates with photos throughout the day/evening. Both girls had a great time and we'll be sure to hire Kathleen in the future!

Our usual sitters were out of town so we jumped on Rover and were so lucky to have found Emily at the last minute! She was professional and personable but best of all, she took great care of our sweet baby! Because we work from home, we’re with our cat most of day, so we needed a sitter who was able to work from home and could stay overnight. Emily was super thorough during the meet n greet and during the stay gave us daily updates and pics. Patti seemed to really love her! We came home to a clean house and a happy kitty. I would recommend Emily to anyone who wants special and loving care ❤️

Maeve did a great job with my cats! She was super sweet with them and they warmed up to her instantly. I also had a ton of travel problems getting home, resulting in over 36 hours of delays getting back and Maeve was nothing but accommodating and kind, making sure my cats had everything they needed so I didn't have to worry about them during the stressful process. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting!

I can’t say enough good things about Rachel! She house sat and watched my cat and dog for two weeks while I was out of the country. Being abroad can make you worry, but Rachel kept me completely at ease with her excellent communication. She sent regular photo updates and notes that showed how much she genuinely cared for my pets. Both my dog and cat absolutely loved her. She is responsible, deeply caring, and a total professional. I will definitely be hiring her again!
