“Thank you soo much Erin for checking in on my Jenni-Girl! Erin is very flexible with time and she is very friendly. Also, she sent me pictures after each visit which made me feel soo much better.”
“Taryn was wonderful! She was kind, respectful, and made me feel like taking care of my kitty wasn’t just a job. She made him feel really at home and he can be pretty shy. I loved seeing the daily pictures. She was very flexible with my schedule as well which I so appreciate!! Would definitely recommend to anyone and would book again for sure. This was my first time using Rover and it was a lovely experience with her.”
“Taylor took care of Charly very well, even being able to send me photos of my very shy cat. She also handled a difficult situation with tenacity and determination while I was away, for which I am very grateful. Taylor did an excellent job.”
“Gabriella is absolutely awesome. With every stay or drop in visit she sends pics and lets us know if how our fur kids are doing. One of ours has a seizure disorder and Gabriella keeps us informed on her state. Great sitter! Very communicative!!”

“We had Vanessa watch our two young cats over Thanksgiving week. Vanessa was great with them and with us - attentive to their needs and very responsive to us. Our favorite was the pictures she shared in the after-visit reports, and our cats’ favorite was seeing their new buddy. Vanessa was very respectful, professional, and kind. Would definitely ask Vanessa to come back in the future!”
About: I am a responsible and reliable person who loves animals, has had five dogs of her own, and wants to help others keep their pets happy and healthy. I’m currently working a shifted schedule. Saturday I am off most of the day. Sunday and Monday I am off the whole day. This is great for people with busy weekend schedules or long work days who need some extra help. I am also an early riser everyday, so I can let you run out of the door without worry or you can just sleep in and know your pet is covered. I ensure all doors are closed and locked when visiting your pup. If we’re leaving for a walk, my attention is fully on the safety of the dog. No matter what, I preemptively cross the street if another person or dog is approaching so we have a fun and safe walk.
About: I’ve taken care of my own and family dogs since like 13 and since then I have started doing other people and have good references I work really early mornings and I’m usually out of work by the latest is noon so I would be able to watch your pup all day as long as my schedule works for you! I will have an eye on the dog(s) the majority of the time loving on them and many sure they have what they need I also love to exercise so walks can be in the picture as well
About: I grew up with dogs and small animals, and I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, including comforting a big dog scared of storms and giving medications to cranky senior animals. I have two cats and a 9-yr-old chinchilla with big personalities. I know pets are our family members, and I look forward to caring for yours! Available for drop-ins and walks in the evenings and weekends. I live in River Market and work in midtown, so I can be available for some morning or lunchtime needs in those areas. I can house-sit nearby, too. Im very respectful and love detailed instructions. I’ve owned feisty, picky pets, so I’m happy to do whatever your animals need! I know it can be stressful having someone else come into your home and care for your pets, so I’ll take every measure to make sure you and your animals are comfortable
“Overall did a decent job. Made sure our cats had food and water and that the litter box was cleaned up. I would have liked more photos and more feedback each day. I appreciated the times that the broom and dustpan pan was used to sweep up extra litter, but maybe put it back in the closet next time instead of across the kitchen counter and stove since that’s where food is prepared. Also, appears that the dust pan chipped somehow and I found the piece over by the tv stand and it came to a sharp point. I don’t care that the dust pan chipped or how it even happened, it’s plastic, but I wouldn’t have wanted my cats to get a hold of that and something accidentally happen.”
About: Had animals in my house since I was a child (dogs and cats). I have experience with animals of all ages which include puppies and senior animals. I work from home three times a week which gives me time for quick mid day walks/check-ups. I also could check in on your pet in the afternoon and early morning! I live in an apartment that has open outdoor space. I currently have a kitty of my own who does well with other animals !
“Claudia was wonderful! She kept me posted daily with pictures of my cat. She went the extra mile and swept the floors where Mickey kicked his litter around, which he loves to do. Thanks for taking good care of my kitty! He was happy as a clam when I returned.”
About: I've been a lover of puppers and kitters since a very young age. I have never met an animal I didn't love, and would love to look after your baby 😍 I am currently in between jobs so I have plenty of availability to look after your pet! I look forward to hearing from you soon. I have a fenced in back yard and if your dog gets along with ours they will have tons of fun! Your pets safety and well being is priority number 1.
“Evan was awesome with our two dogs! He sent sweet photos of them playing and gave me updates on when he stopped in. I felt at ease knowing my doggies were in caring hands. Thank you, Evan!”

Sophia H.
“We don't have kids yet, just two rescue pups that we absolutely adore. When we were going out of town over the 4th of July holiday, we were nervous to leave our dogs, knowing that they would be so scared of the fireworks. Sophia was wonderful. I know she helped them feel comforted and safe, and she listened diligently to all of our (many) instructions. She sent us photos and our pups looked so happy. We will definitely be reaching out to Sophia for future trips.”
