Catherine was so helpful with a blaze while I was away. I loved that she was respectful to my home and the needs of my cat. I’ll use her again!

Despite Charlie never coming out from under my bed, Blake showed up daily 2x/day to feed her, try to play, & ensure she had a clean litter box. I think Charlie would have had a pretty fun time, had she stuck her nose out just a little. Lots of funny pics of Charlie's eye &nose! 😁 I'd call Blake again -- he's a responsible cat- sitter.

Jon is great! He came for a meet and greet before letting my dogs out and kept me in the loop while he was over with my dogs. Definitely booking him again!

Lindsay was so great to work with! Our Poodle Pippa had major surgery a week prior so my wife and i were nervous about leaving her with someone new (she’s get too excited and tear her stitches) but when we met Lindsay we were immediately reassured. Very professional, pleasant, and responsible. Not to mention she did all of this on Thanksgiving! Highly recommend.

Patrick and Kelly are truly professionals when it comes to taking care of my two cats. I was initially very nervous about leaving home for about a month and unsure how to ensure my cats were well cared for, but I’m so glad I found Patrick and Kelly. As cat owners and cat lovers themselves, they understand all the nuances of caring for cats and are incredibly patient with them. They kept me updated regularly with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Patrick and Kelly to anyone looking for reliable and loving pet sitters!

Jon was great, and went far beyond just feeding our cats and taking care of the litter box. We had just suffered the loss of a beloved sibling of our cats and Jon was especially sensitive to their emotional needs- especially one who was grieving hard - even just checking in on them to make sure they were OK. We not only got detailed reports of their activities, but also comments regarding their mood. By the time we returned home from our trip they were back to normal. highly recommend Jon... He cares.

Gabby stayed with our 15 year old, newly diagnosed as diabetic, cat hunter for 4 days. She made sure he received all of his meds, including insulin injections, as instructed. Gabby sent photos and text updates throughout each day. Additionally, she took Hunter to the vet twice to receive his scheduled fluid treatments and made sure his litter box was cleaned daily. We arrived home to a clean house & a happy Hunter. Gabby is very personable, timely & a pleasure to know. I highly recommend Gabby as a responsible, professional & caring pet sitter.

First time Rover user and Anya was wonderful. She popped over to play and feed our boys Mac and Mo while we went out of town for the first time since we adopted them. They warmed up to her immediately and i appreciated her attention to play time and she was also very responsive whenever I had reached out. Will definitely book her again! thanks Anya!!!

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, and held part-time jobs & volunteer positions fostering and helping animals find homes. I work from home full-time and my partner is a registered nurse, so we have very flexible schedules. I also do have my own amazing, handicapped senior dog, so will only accept dogs that are friendly and we’ll trained. I would love the chance to spend time with your pets & make them feel safe while you're at work or away! I know how hard it can be to find good dog sitters, and I want to be that person for someone else! I work from home full-time so am available day or night to help take care of your pets whenever you need. Usually available on weekends too. I have a one bedroom apartment in a high-rise luxury building that is pet-friendly. There are dog parks nearby and nice areas to walk, so I will make sure your pet gets exercise. I also have dog treats and some toys if your dog needs anything.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, structure, and personalized attention I provide to every dog in my home. With a fully fenced-in yard and a safe, cozy environment, your dog will feel right at home the moment they arrive. I treat every pup like family, making sure they get plenty of playtime, cuddles, and calm, consistent care tailored to their needs. Whether it’s a weekend away or a longer trip, I provide peace of mind through loving, dependable, and stress-free boarding. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, from morning walks to evening playtime, it’s built into the rhythm of my day. I work from home, so your dog will have consistent companionship, attention, and care throughout their stay. I care for every dog like they’re my own - with plenty of love, attention, and a safe, enriching environment. We go on daily walks for fresh air and stimulation, and there’s endless playtime in my fully fenced-in backyard, where pups can run, explore, or just relax. The yard has both sunny spots for sunbathers and shaded areas on the patio for cooling down, so every dog can find their comfort zone. Whether it’s structured activity or cozy downtime, I make sure each pet gets the right balance of exercise, companionship, and care tailored to their needs.

Deli was great, quite everything you could ask for. Incredibly communicative and went above and beyond in my home to make sure I came back from vacation with very little to do. My kitty, Willow, was well cared for and happy when I returned. Will deff book again in the future.

About: Besides having pets almost all my life and sitting for family or friends, working at a big dog daycare showed me a lot as well. I worked in groups as big as 10-15 which at times are challenging but it was still fun. From small to big and puppies to seniors it teaches the different care and needs for each. I’m a medical assistant actively looking for a job so as of right now I am available almost all of the time. Though every time I leave home I always miss my kitty but he always has my family and someone home to be with him. I want to make sure pets stay in their normal routine as much as possible and feel comfortable in their own home. I follow care instructions, keep things clean, and prioritize their needs. I also send updates so you know they’re doing good while you’re away.

Anna was wonderful and communicative. Arrived on time every day and kept the house spotless. My cats clearly loved her - I’ve never seen them so happy and well-adjusted when I return from a trip! I would not hesitate to book her again. Worth every penny!

Mark was fantastic! I could tell right from the start that he was going to try his darnedest to get my shy Moira to connect on his visits - when he instantly started to practice the high-pitched voice I use which Moira best responds to on our initial visit lol! Right out of the gate I think he was able to find her under the bed and engage with Churu! While she didn't allow contact every single day - I have no doubt that he tried and he even succeeded on several. I definitely felt safe having Mark taking care of my shy lil' girl.

I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! From the very beginning, they were professional, reliable, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. They took the time to understand my cat’s routine, personality, and needs, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I received regular updates, photos, and little notes that reassured me my cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was obvious my cat felt safe and relaxed, which says everything. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely caring pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again!
