“Tessa was all we had hoped for to our 16 year old dog. He loved her from the start and she was intuitive and patient with him and his various older dog issues. She’s really easy to plan with and we hope she will help take care of him when we can’t for the rest of his life.”

“This was my first time hiring Karli as a drop in sitter for my cat, and I was incredibly impressed. She was very thorough at the meet and greet, and was extremely professional and communicative throughout the booking.

About: Hi I'm Sonya! Me and partner are grad students with spare love to care more pets! We both have cared for dogs, cats, chinchillas and others for +25 years. I have experience with care intensive dogs and we have been taking care of cats and kittens with special requirements. Currently, with the support of my partner, I'm looking to offer some of that experience and love to care for other furred friends in order to support our efforts with our community's cats while being a grad student. Let me know if you have any question! I'm currently working partially from home and the days I'm at the office; my partner is working from home. We coordinate out working schedule to make sure at least one of us is home during the day. Usually if pets need to be left home (~30-45min), I leave them in different parts of the house, making sure they have access to more than one room. We have a big fenced back yard! we have plenty of room for playing a potty breaks. We have plenty of shaded areas for short play breaks in sunny days. And we live close (5min walking distance) to big park. At home we have cats and chinchillas, if the other pets are cat/small animals friendly, they can make quite an interesting and fun pack! If the other furred friends need their own space, they can access to a section of the house that can be kept isolated for them.
“Reece was conscientious and accommodating—meeting the cats before the first drop in and getting all the details of their care. He sent lots of pictures and helpful updates following the drop in!”

“This was our first experience with Rover and Melinda did an amazing job! My dog Charlie is reactive and nervous around new people but warmed up to Melinda quickly during our meet and greet. Melinda played with Charlie and provided pictures and detailed feedback on the drop-in visit. I’m so grateful to have found this service and Melinda in particular!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a child and have taken care of my kitty, Monster for the past decade. She is a spunky old soul and receives all the love. I’ve sat for family and friends and just love meeting all the different animals. I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, rats, fish and just have a passion for caring for them. I’m currently working part time so have tons of flexibility for boarding, walks, check-ins, anything you need! I can most likely accept day of as well! I have a fenced yard at home, so plenty of bathroom access as well as play space. I have dog toys as well as cat toys/treats. Animals are welcome on my furniture and pretty much anywhere they’d like to explore in my home! Regarding a clients space, however they care best for them is how I will!
About: With years of personal experience as a dachshund owner and plenty of cat-sitting under my belt, I provide attentive, loving care for your furry family members. I’ve looked after pets for friends, from shy cats like Moo to playful pups like Lucy, and I always treat them as if they were my own. Whether it’s cuddle time, playtime, or keeping to their routine, your pets will be in safe, caring hands. I have open availability and can work with your schedule to provide daily walks, drop-in visits, or in-home sitting. Whether you need consistent care during the week or occasional help for travel, I’m happy to create a routine that keeps your pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your instructions to the letter— from feeding schedules to medication needs—and ensure they are well cared for and secure. In your home, I respect your space and leave it just as you left it, if not better.
