“Yesenia did a great job of taking care of our kitty, Oscar. He took to her right away. She provided pics and left messages as needed. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
“My senior cats require extra attention involving many specific medications and diets. Donna had no hesitations and kept me well informed while I was away. Grateful to have found an accountable pet sitter in my area as we do not live around family.”
“Samantha did daily drop-ins for my feline kid, Adam. She took great care of him and I would gladly use her services again. She was on time, trustworthy and provided great communication.”
“Alison showed up and took in all requests on visit to care for my pets. She communicated well to ensure visits were timely and still needed. Her kind demeanor and rover cards after each visit were informative and captured happy pets as a result of her visit.”
“We loved having Anne watch over our cat while away for our wedding! Our cat had recently had some minor medical issues, so we felt really nervous about leaving her for a week. Anne was kind enough to meet with us prior to our departure so we could introduce our cat and show her around (& to ease our nerves!). So happy it all worked out- Anne was amazing about keeping us informed on each visit & provided pics! Would very much recommend!!!”
“Eliza has had two visits with my boys, Dex and Moe, and already I am impressed. She is highly- competent, intelligent, pays attention to detail, and is very experienced with caring for animals. Most importantly, however, is how much my pups already adore her and how comfortable I feel when she is in my home and my presence. Both my boys are rescues, however, Dex in his first year of life was subjected to extreme abuse and neglect. It generally takes him a very long time to trust new people inside the home ( in Rover’s case that means many meet and greets with me present ) and outside the home on walks significant caution is needed at all times because he is very reactive to numerous things. I adopted Dex in 2018 and I have * never seen him warm up to any new caregiver ( or person in general) as quickly as he has to Eliza. Moe loves everybody. It is also very apparent that Eliza is very attentive when I discuss details about my boys and detailed special instructions even though I have not yet written them down, which I will. I feel at ease and fully trust that Eliza takes these instructions very seriously and understands that, in the case of Dex especially, instructions about the precautions necessary when walking him outside cannot be deviated from- he truly is a very special- emotional- needs dog ( he’s 8 ) and always will be. I am fully confident that whether I need to be away because of a health emergency or am simply on vacation that my dogs are in the best of hands under her care. I would highly recommend Eliza to anyone.”
“Criselia was wonderful and so was her little helper. She came home to a surprise and took care of things until I could reach home...I truly appreciated you. Thank you so much! I highly endorse.”
About: Hi!! My name is Andrea and im 23 years old. I just graduated college and am looking for some part time work. I LOVE pets and have 3 of my own!!! I recently lost my childhood frenchie and have been having a hard time coping, but getting to spend time around dogs and cats makes me feel much better. I would take amazing care of your furry friend and make sure they are safe and happy :) I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I am not currently working any other job, as I am applying to PA school, so I have plenty of time on my hands! I treat all pets like they are my own. In my house, we treat our pets the way we treat each other, with love and respect. That being said, we do hold a standard for them in terms of potty training and behavior. We constantly take our dogs for walks to make sure they go potty when they need to and get some outside/exercise time!
“Rick was amazing, took my last minute booking for a drop in to feed my cat when i had to go out of town unexpectedly. Prompt and Excellent communication. Sent me photos of the home visit. I will definitely book him again. I highly recommend Rick 🐾 🐾”
About: I love pets. I have had 3 cats. My first cat was 10 years old before he sadly passed way due to liquid in his lungs. I now have two silly and adorable cats that I rescued when they were just weeks old! I am currently a full time college student. I enjoy caring for cats and would like to help someone in need. Our furry babies need the best care possible! I have two cats at home. I can easily feed your cats, play with them, and clean the litter box. I can even take them on a walk!
“Anyssa did an amazing job feeding my cats. She is caring, conscientious, punctual and loves animals. She went above and beyond taking care of my cats. Thank you Anyssa.”
“Thank you, Sarah and Abel for taking care of our puppies today! I’m so thrilled you had drop in service and hope you continue in the future. Bailey giving you a nose boop is a huge thing for her.”

Emma was great with my Buddy, calm and quiet but determined to make a friend. I could tell from the pictures that he was enjoying her visits. Emma was so easy to work for me as well and I never had a reason to stress over whether he was getting the attention he always wants.
Sarah is fantastic! She took such great care of our three cats and even looked after our fish—who wasn’t even on the schedule. We really appreciate how thoughtful and attentive she is. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
