“Jessica is great! We feel very secure while traveling knowing that Jessica will be checking on our cats. She goes above and beyond for our shy boy who won't come out of the closet and our charming girl who wants all the pets. Jessica sends photos every day, and best of all we come home to cats who are calm and happy to see us but not desperate for attention. 😻”


“This was my first time since moving and having my cat alone so I was nervous to hire someone to check in on her. Tai was communicative, caring, friendly and sweet! She closely followed the instructions I left. I am so grateful for the last minute drop-in visit. I will definitely reach out again and would recommend her for anyone’s pet!”

About: I’ve cared for cats my entire life and have experience with a wide range of personalities, from social and affectionate to shy or recently rescued. I’ve provided pet sitting for family and friends, including both cats and dogs. I also have hands on experience helping stray and rescue cats adjust to indoor environments. In addition, I’m comfortable handling small animals and have experience owning and caring for ferrets. I prioritize patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s individual needs to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I currently just graduated high school at York County School of Technology while enrolled in the Licensed Cosmetology program! I obtained my cosmetology license in December of 2025. I’m currently waiting to begin my journey in the esthetics side of the cosmetology industry! I have a very flexible schedule on the weekends, as well as mid afternoon and nights. I personally prioritize creating a safe, calm, and stress free environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any specific needs so I can keep their environment consistent and comfortable. I’m attentive to details such as securing doors, safe feeding practices, and monitoring behavior for any signs of stress or illness. I’m also respectful of client homes and follow all instructions carefully to ensure both pets and property are well cared for. For more anxious or shy animals, I focus on patience and gentleness to build trust at their pace. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you feel confident and informed while you’re away.

“Kara is awesome! This is the third time she has watched our cat Beans and I will definitely book her again next time we have to go out of town. She is dependable and so sweet with her!”

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and 30+ years with cats, giving me a strong understanding of different personalities and needs. I’ve worked with my own dog through multiple training programs and use those techniques to provide safe, consistent care. Whether your pet needs an active walk or calm, patient attention at home, I adapt to their energy level and personality to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for.

I currently provide care in my client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. During visits, I follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. For dogs, I offer safe, attentive walks tailored to their energy level, along with exercise, enrichment, and plenty of attention. For cats, I provide calm, patient care, whether that’s playtime, feeding, litter box maintenance, or simply giving them space and companionship based on their personality. I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away.
“I am a first-time customer with Rover.com. I submitted a request for a petsitter to watch my cats while I was out of state. For six days (including Labor Day weekend), Sarah M. took excellent care of my “Little Ones”. During all ten visits, she went the extra mile and cleaned up the occasional fur balls (yuck🤢) and small-scale disasters my cats made. My cats took a liking to her and that doesn’t usually happen. That means there’s something special about Sarah M. She is thorough, meticulous, kind, considerate, and professional. I’ll gladly ask her to watch my pets again! Thank you, Sarah! You’re a godsend!!😊💯👍🏾”

About: They say grief is love with no place to go, so since my senior Belgian Malinois passed away, I've been fostering dogs and would like to get into dog walking.

I am generally available during daylight hours Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and 5 PM or later Tuesday and Thursday. Before or at the start of our first walk, I'd like to get to know your dog's preferences, triggers, and typical walking habits and routes. I suggest treats for positive reinforcement if working on socialization and a slip lead to reduce pulling. A safe, enjoyable outing is my priority for your dog.

She closely followed the instructions I left. I am so grateful for the last minute drop-in visit. I will definitely reach out again and would recommend her for anyone’s pet!

Yanna provided excellent care for my 3 dogs and cat during our vacation. I finally felt relaxed knowing that they were being cared for. Lots of photos sent during every drop-in l, and they all looked very happy. I would definitely rebook and would highly recommend Yanna for your pet care while away.

Kaitlyn did such an amazing job watching our boys. Our cats loved her and she was very thorough during her visit with us before we went away. I felt so good leaving my boys in her care and will absolutely rebook her in the future. My boys adored her and she even left a card for us for when we returned. So thoughtful and so sweet.
