“Andrew is our go-to sitter! He is consistent, communicates well, and always prioritizes hanging out with our cat. Highly recommend, and will continue to use him!”

“Peter cared for our 3 large dogs with no hesitation! He was a great communicator and very flexible with our schedule. We would definitely trust him to come back any time!”

“Emily was so great for our kitties during our recent absence! One of our kitties had been sick and was still receiving oral medication, so I was very nervous about leaving her behind. Emily put my mind completely at ease. She is responsible, communicative, and very caring. We felt so lucky to have found her and will absolutely reach out for drop-in visits again.”

“Meghan was responsive, friendly, asked questions to make sure she understand what was needed, arrived on time, and followed instructions. I would book Meghan again to care for my cat!”

About: I specialize in caring for both puppies and seniors, and I bring a calm, consistent presence to every home I enter. I offer light house cleaning, regular updates, and personalized attention — all with the goal of making your return home feel peaceful and effortless. I take pride in leaving every space better than I found it. Pet care is part of my everyday rhythm. I build my schedule around each pet’s needs, setting intentional times for feeding, walks, play, and rest so your dog gets the consistency and care they deserve. I focus on creating a clean, calm, and welcoming environment in your home. I stick closely to your dog’s routine, respect your space, and send regular updates so you can travel with peace of mind.
“Cambria did such amazing job at looking after my cats while away for two weeks! She sent a ton of pics and details about her visits. Made me feel very comfortable and that they are being cared for :)”

About: I’ve been caring for friends’ and family’s dogs since I was a teen, providing plenty of walks, playtime, and pets. I treat every pet like my own. I’ve worked with a range of ages of dogs. I work from home two days a week, which provides me with flexibility. I am finished in the office by 4pm every day. My weekends are pretty free! In my home, pets have a safe, comfortable space with plenty of attention, playtime, and walks. In a client’s home, I follow routines closely—feeding, walking, and providing affection just as they would so pets feel happy and secure.
About: Hi! I’m Faith (she/her), a 34yo pre-k to 5th grade special education assistant looking to build a client base as a part-time pet care provider. I grew up with cats and dogs, and have always been an animal lover! I am patient, caring, active, and detail-oriented. It is important to me that both you and your pet feel at ease while your pet is in my care. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have before deciding whether or not it would be a good fit. Something prospective clients should know is that I do not drive. A meet & greet in advance of your booking is a great time to discuss your preferences regarding how to handle transporting your pet to planned appointments, or in the unlikely event that emergency care is needed. The fewer unknowns, the better! On weekdays, I work 9:20am-4:05pm, so if your pet requires frequent potty breaks or mid-day medication administration, it may not be the best fit. Day job work schedule aside, pet care has been an integral part of my daily routine since childhood, so I am accustomed to adjusting my own schedule around feeding and potty break needs. When I am not working at school, a typical day for me includes playing bananagrams, writing poetry, and reading. Whether care is based from your home environment or mine, I make sure to keep things tidy and clean out of respect for you and your pet(s).

“Tonia was great, she dropped in and checked on our cats for a week while we were out of town. She did everything we asked and sent us pics of the kitties! Would recommend!”

About: I’ve watched family and friends dogs for years. I enjoy being the “go-to” person to watch their pets . Love caring for and playing with dogs, talking them on walks, and playing! I have some flexibility in my schedule during the weekdays . However, I can always do afternoons walks and care and availability full time on weekends. For longer I usually watch folks dogs in their home - if that’s the preference. If your puppy needs to be just walked and fed for just the day that’s also grand!
“Autumn was awesome! She was sure to ask lots of questions ahead of time so I was sure my kitties would be well taken care of. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“It’s my first time using Rover and I’m so happy to find Kristen visiting my two kittens. She is super easy to communicate, patient, and loving to my cats, and they love her visits as well! Will definitely rebook next time.”


About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, and know how to accommodate each one's needs (special diet, long walks, companionship (or lack thereof)). I am also resistant to all forms of begging yet encountered, and will follow your recommendations for treats and the like. I work remote, so generally can adjust my schedule to fit you(r pet's) needs. I also generally take walks to have a break from the work day, so can easily add a dog or two to that walk! I will follow your lead on how to best care for your pet! I do not have any of my own animals currently due to my landlord, but have housesit for dogs and cats. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible, whether it's a crate, sleeping in the same bed, or eating meals together!
“Aimee was great with my dogs! She showed up right on time, handled them confidently, and they warmed right up to her (treats definitely helped). This was just a prep visit for a longer stay, and I feel really good knowing they’ll be in her hands.”

“Sarah is great! She was able to drop in on my Poms last second and we will definitely hope to use her again in the future. I can tell she has great compassion for animals. She was understanding with me having a few special circumstances like not wanting the dogs to be outside alone due to coyotes in the area etc and them typically barking a lot for no reason (sorry). She is communicative and sent photos/video. Thanks again Sarah!”

“Rachel agreed to drop in to check on our kitties somewhat last minute and was very responsive. She was very friendly and did an excellent job with all the instructions and sending updates. Will definitely be requesting cat care with her again! Thank you, Rachel!!”

“I can't recommend Taylor enough! She was hands down the best cat sitter we have ever had. She was proactive before our vacation to find out how to get into our apartment and asking questions about our cat so that she would be prepared from the very first day. She always texted us about the visit, sent pictures and videos and was very reliable. When the app that allowed her to get into our building didn't work, she let us know right away and even called the apps help line. When our kitty had a mess on the floor, she cleaned it up and left our apartment in great condition. Thank you, Taylor!”

About: Hi! I’m James, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I had the joy of caring for my family dog—feeding, walking, training, and making sure he felt loved every single day. Those years taught me not just the basics of pet care, but also how to understand an animal’s personality, moods, and needs I am currently working full time, but spend many days working remotely from home giving me plenty of time to devote to animal care. My best days for overnight care are towards the end of the week and over the weekends. I love providing and caring for animals. My goal is simple: keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I grew up with 2 dogs, a Labrador and Weenie-Mix, so I have experience with dogs of varying sizes. I have cared for rabbits and small birds, and have spent a lot of time around cats! I would love to take your pet for a walk and play, or drop-in for a check-in! My availability may look somewhat limiting, but I am typically available Monday through Thursday after 4:15; Friday after 3:15; and most of the day on the weekends. Your pet's happiness and well-being is of the upmost importance to me. I thank you for trusting me in your home and with the responsibility of caring for you pet.
“Marisa did a great job watching our cat for us over the holidays. She was flexible, responsive and on time. Our cat is usually anxious and stressed out when we get back from trips, but this time she was calm and happy to see us!”
