“Erica was wonderful again with the care of my pets. I have her booked for multiple stays in the future and have recommended her to others. Thank you Erica for your kind and compassionate visits.”

About: I am a dog owner for the past 7 years and own two Setter pups. Friends have entrusted me with their dogs for petsitting and dog walking - in some occasions I would have as many as 4 dogs with me, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! As a dog parent I know how important is to have someone you trust with your baby, I will treat your dog as my own, making sure your dog is safe and happy! I mostly work from home during the week, which allows me to be flexible to go on a walk with your pup to get some fresh air or do a drop in visit to spend some time with them. When I drop in to check on your pup or take on a walk, I will always follow your instructions closely and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. During walks, I will keep a close eye on them, always be on leash, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise based on their energy level. Afterward, provide a quick pupdate so you know your pup is happy and well taken care of.
“Leah took excellent care of my kitty while I was away. She sent photos and videos, letting me know how well my cat was doing. My cat is very shy, but warmed up to Leah very quickly. I would definitely hire her again to watch my kitty.”
“This is our second time to book Jeanne for taking care of our old cat. Jeanne took care of our cat very well. She noticed our cat was keeping scratching his ear and helped him to clean the ear wax, very thorough ! And she also helped us to collect our trash bag as we cannot collect it back on time. I highly recommend Jeanne to anyone!”
“I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Michelle! She was incredibly responsible, caring, and attentive from start to finish. She followed every instruction perfectly, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. What truly stood out was her constant communication—I received regular updates, photos, and check-ins, which made me feel so connected and reassured. My pups were clearly in loving hands, and I could tell she treated them like her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. Thank you so much for everything!”
“I felt comfortable with Kayla immediately and my cats took to her right away. She is friendly,personable , and really eased the stress from leaving our cats longer than usual.She kept me updated and we will definitely use Kayla again if we leave for any length of time.”
“Tina was excellent at caring for our two cats while we were out of town. She is a true animal lover and provided me with the best check ins and pictures! I couldn’t recommend Tina enough!”
About: My dog is now 17 years so I have pet care experience in all stages of life! I also have experience with small and large dogs. I am loving and patient and ready to care for your pup or cat! I am my pets caretaker almost daily. Occasionally I watch my neighbors or extended family’s pets on the weekends or (less often) weekdays. I love animals so it’s a great part of my daily routine. I frequently take the pets outside and provide lots of love and play time! I make sure the pets are safe and secure in the environment, and hazards are out of the way.
“Charlotte took great care of my two cats while I was away. My cat who is really shy absolutely loved her! We got the cutest photos and written updates every day which made me feel so happy knowing they were in great hands. Charlotte is very kind and quick to respond! I definitely recommend!!”
About: Hello! My name is Jen. I have a love for dogs and the outdoors, and I am new to the Rover community. Growing up, I had a very sweet west highland terrier whose head literally turned at the words "go for a walk." I can't wait to meet your doggo and learn what makes him or her special too! I am particularly diligent with any special needs or instructions you may require and have experience with both cats and dogs in the home. Please let me know if you have any questions at all. I look forward to providing the best care for you and your pets! At this time, I am most flexible on weekends for drop-in visits and can discuss weekday hours to meet your scheduling needs. My calendar should be up-to-date, but please let me know if you have any questions! I am available for drop-in visits with both cats and dogs. I have a cat with a chronic health condition at my home and understand the value of having a sitter you can trust with special instructions and needs.
About: The Hunt family consists of Helen (me) Jon (train driving husband) and our son and daughter. I am a stay at home Mom/Artist with a 8 and 6 year old who are very accustomed to animals and very gentle. We have a ranch house that is open plan with hard wood floors and a huge fenced in yard. I have my own car to use for picking up and dropping off. We live 2 minutes from Melas Dog Park in a leafy neighborhood great for walking dogs. I grew up in rural England and have spent my life around animals. After dropping my children off at school I am home all day working on art projects and so your pet will have company and access to outside whenever needed. If your pet is on the introverted side we can always accommodate by setting aside a bedroom for alone time. Please know with us your most precious loved one is in safe and warm hands. In order to accommodate regular guests we can no longer board dog aggressive pets.
About: Ive worked at petsmart as a professional dog bather and ive worked with dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I have also owned dogs since I was very young. I feed my pets in the morning around 8am and then in the evening at 4pm before I head off to work. I also brush my one dog who sheds insane amounts weekly. I clip my cats nails once every two weeks. I also take my dogs in to bathe them at my work. I have two very loving dogs who love to be in the fenced in backyard I have. My cat toast has a small tent she feels secure in because being outside makes her anxious and yet, she’s always asking to go out.
“Nancy is absolutely wonderful and assured us our fur baby was well taken care of during our 4 week trip away from home. Nancy dropped in for a meet and greet to familiarize with the house and our cat. The messages, pics and videos showed the updates of how our kitty was doing when we were away. Thank you very much Nancy and we will definitely book you in the future. Highly recommend Nancy to any pet owners looking to book pet sitters?”
