Josh is outstanding. I highly recommend him. He communicated well, was efficient in taking care of all the tasks, and my cats were sitting in his lap by the end of his visits with them. he was exactly what I needed to put my mind at ease when leaving my two cats for two weeks!

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dana is very detail oriented and responsible. My kitty loved her too. i went out of town unexpectedly and Dana was able to help last minute. We used the video chat feature to explain Bali’s needs and logistics and i sent pictures. Dana sent pictures specifically showing me how she was exactly followed instructions and showing Bali was content and eating well. Bali has kidney disease and so there were many very detailed instructions. I will definitely ask Dana to help again and recommend to my friends.

About: My entire life I have owned at least 3 pets. From foster cats, to my own cats, dogs, neighbors dogs, etc. I am a pet person through and through. I have a range of ages of animals I’ve taken care of - from dogs in elderly stages to 2 week old kittens. I am currently working from home Mon,Wed, Thursday, Fri. I’m constantly taking quick walks around the block during the day to keep my energy up and get outside. We have already cat sat in our apartment and everything went smoothly. We ensure doors are closed and locked at all times so there is a 0% chance of escaping. I live in between two parks as well which are always full of dogs to play in.

Rachel was thorough and worked very well with our two adopted cats as always, especially our very skittish trap-and-release-and-trap-again cat. She obviously kept good notes about how to take care of our little ones and didn’t need us to rehash anything, she stepped right in and took care of them! Will have her back again for sure.

This was the first time we’ve left our cats under the care of someone who was not a close friend or family member when we went away and we felt at ease with Megan watching our kitties from the initial visit. She was very responsive and communicated closely with us while we were away. We will definitely have her watch our cats again whenever we need someone!!

About: ⸻ What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, intuitive approach to animal care—think “Mary Poppins meets animal whisperer.” I don’t just watch pets; I create a nurturing, structured environment where they feel safe, loved, and engaged. I have experience with a wide range of animals, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle handling. I’m comfortable with administering medication, managing special diets, and adapting routines to meet each pet’s physical and emotional needs. For puppies, I focus on positive reinforcement, helping with basic training, crate comfort, and establishing good habits early on. For senior pets, I provide thoughtful care—whether that’s supporting mobility, sticking to precise medication schedules, or simply offering quiet companionship. Beyond the basics, I bring a warm energy, attention to detail, and a genuine love for animals that always shines through. My goal is for both pets and their humans to feel completely at ease—like they’ve found a sitter who’s not just capable, but truly cares. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine—it’s not something I squeeze in; it’s something I prioritize. Whether I’m walking dogs, administering medication, or simply spending quiet time with a senior pet, I structure my schedule to ensure each animal gets consistent, focused attention. I plan my days around the needs of the pets in my care, from early morning potty breaks to evening feedings and bedtime routines. I also build in time for play, enrichment, and cuddles—because emotional wellbeing is just as important as physical care. If I’m caring for multiple pets or have bookings throughout the week, I stay organized with detailed notes, reminders, and plenty of communication with owners. For me, caring for animals isn’t a job I clock in and out of—it’s a rhythm I genuinely enjoy being part of. Pet care for clients home • Feeding & Fresh Water: Administer meals according to the pet’s schedule and dietary needs. • Daily Exercise & Play: Walks, fetch, playtime, or enrichment activities based on the pet’s energy level. • Routine Maintenance: Cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste, and ensuring the area is tidy. • Medication Administration: If required, administer medications or supplements as instructed. • Home Care: Bringing in mail, watering plants, adjusting lights, and maintaining a lived-in appearance. • Communication: Sending daily updates, photos, or videos to the client.

About: I have been an animal (especially dog) lover my whole life. I have cared for all sized and all aged dogs. Besides my experience with my own lab who passed in February ‘25, I worked for a private pet care company for over 4 years. This included staying overnight in client’s homes, making daily visits, walking dogs, and caring for all types of animals, including cats and bunnies. Besides this professional work, friends and family have always relied on me to take care of their animals since I was little. I also regularly volunteer at a local rescue to walk and care for the dogs in kennel. Please reach out and we can set up a meet & greet!! I work part-time through the week, so I will have plenty of time to drop in for daily visits- whether that be walks or fetch in the backyard. Overnight stays won’t be an issue for me as well as long as it fits into my calendar. I am well experienced in walking all types of dogs (my dog was very strong on walks so no worries if your dog pulls!). I will always listen to directions given by owners and respect their home and belongings. I have always been well-trusted with my previous clients and there have never been any issues.

About: I’ve spent the last three years working professionally in animal care, managing busy doggy daycares and looking after pups of every breed. Because of my professional background, I’m attuned to dog body language and safety. I love building bonds with each individual dog and making sure they get the exact structure, playtime, and love they deserve while you’re away!

Ifan did an incredible job taking care of my Bernedoodle, who is full of energy and absolutely loves meeting new people. They handled his excitement with total confidence and experience, which immediately put me at ease. He got plenty of playtime in the backyard, lots of social interaction, and even came home tired and happy which is a rare accomplishment for a dog who could play all day. It was clear that Ifan really understands energetic dogs and knows how to keep them engaged in a positive way. My dog adored them, and I could tell he felt comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled, attentive, and genuinely caring sitter.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Five stars! Kira is the absolute best and I cannot recommend her enough. I was pretty stressed about finding a cat sitter for this trip as my two boys are entering their senior years and have some special dietary/medication requirements. I just didn’t feel comfortable trusting it all to someone else for a whole week but Kira put me at ease immediately during our meet & greet. Her prior reviews and former experience really speak for themselves. She understood their significant personality differences and knew exactly how to handle them (which is saying something because one of my boys is very difficult and basically a gremlin in a catsuit). By day 3 of my vacation I realized I had stopped stressing about how the cats were doing because I felt so confident with Kira’s care. She is so communicative, flexible, and easy to work with. Also, bonus — she’s a fantastic pet photographer! We looked forward to the photos and commentary every day. Finally, the most important part to me is that I came home to find happy cats who were definitely happy to see me, but in no way seemed traumatized, which is how they usually act when I leave for a few days. She’s truly the best!

Krista came exactly when we needed (on short notice too) and was awesome company for our cat! Enyo got her food on time and had a clean litterbox, plus time to play with her toys. Krista also made sure to notify us of an appliance leak and help stop it from spreading while we were away, which was very much appreciated.

Second time with Karinna. Great communication. One of my cats has developed a medical condition which now requires medication and Karinna was very understanding and willing to help with the process. Definitely helps relieve my anxiety when leaving my cats for an extended period of time and makes my trip easier. So thankful for her!

I always love having Elyse take care of my boys. She’s so thoughtful to make sure that their health is at the top of mind by making sure to get video and photos of anything that looks odd. As a mom of a cat with diabetes and allergies, this makes it easier to leave them. Thank you!

This is my first experience using Rover and I couldn’t be happier. Katherine has been wonderful with my anxious 10 year old labradoodle. His mid day check in session has made life so much easier. I don’t have to rush home from work worried that he has been alone all day. Communication has been great. I love the report cards. Thank you!
