“This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn’t have lucked out more. Wendy was a fantastic care taker to our two cats. Her communication was spot on and the updates for each drop in visit were thorough. Can’t recommend Wendy enough!”

“Adrian was amazing with my reactive pup, Finn. He is very particular about who cares for him, so we did a meet and greet beforehand. Finn immediately took to Adrian, so I knew it was a good fit. He sent thorough updates and pictures with each drop-in visit. Based on the updates, I know Finn loved and trusted Adrian. I cannot recommend Adrian enough and will absolutely rebook with him.”

“I can't say enough good things about Stefania! She went above and beyond to make sure my cat Boo Boo was happy and well-cared for while I was away. I received updates with photos and videos, which put my mind at ease. She even managed to win over my cat, despite his tendency to not like strangers. What really impressed me was that she stayed longer than scheduled on drop ins. It's clear she genuinely cares about animals and their well-being. I highly recommend this cat sitter to anyone looking for top-notch care for their beloved pets!”

About: I can walk your pet, bathe your pet if needed, and also pet sit if you want me to. Just ask me, the worst I can do is say no. I’m available most days for pet care, I do work between 8-5pm Monday to Friday, but other than that I’m available whenever you need me. I make sure that all my animals have what they need at all times, as well as my clients pets, if they need/want it they will have it.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up with both dogs and cats. My family has had dogs of all sizes, including three pit bulls and a mastiff so I’m very comfortable with larger breeds as well as smaller pets. Our family dogs and cats have ranged from young puppies to seniors, which has given me experience adjusting to different energy levels, routines, and care needs throughout a dog’s life. I’ve also cared for our pets on my own for week-long periods when family members were away, making sure they were happy, safe, and well cared for. More recently, I adopted my own cat named Muffin, who I’ve had for the past seven months. Being a pet owner myself has made me appreciate how important it is to find someone you trust, and I would care for your pets with the same attention and care I give my own. I work part-time in the evenings, which gives me a flexible schedule during the day. Most days I’m available after 11:00 AM for drop-in visits, walks, feedings, or spending quality time with your pets. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get the care and attention they need while you’re away. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Every animal is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and routine rather than treating every visit the same. I’ll make sure they get the care, attention, and consistency they’re used to, while also treating your home with respect and keeping you updated so you never have to wonder how things are going.
“Made our kitty girls very happy over thanksgiving and gave them their own feast. Made me feel very comfortable seeing the state of their litter and food while I was away ❤️”

“Jacob has watched my senior dog multiple times. He is very kind and quick to respond. He is always sends good pic so I know my old man is getting well cared for. Will always try to rebook him for my dog”

“It’s evident in all of her actions that Kristin loves animals and it was such a relief to have such a compassionate and capable person taking care of my pets. Definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little kid and just love animals beyond belief, i was the neighborhood pet watchers when anyone would go out of town and took care of my own dogs as well as my grandparents 3 I work from 6:30-5:30 on the weekends but willing to work around a schedule if need be. I’m very flexible and willing to converse with anyone that needs help I will treat your home and pets with respect and care like they were my own. I have a genuine love for animals and will hopefully convey that when you trust me with your pet
About: I was born into an animal-loving family - in fact, my very earliest memories all seem to center around my family's cats, dogs, and horses, and I helped to feed and care for them from childhood. I'm a middle-aged lady and I've had pets my whole life, so when I say I've got experience you know I'm not messing around! Friends and family trust me to take care of their pets when they're away, but I've even professionally cared for the animals at a natural history museum. (Did you know there is such a thing as monkey chow? And that turtles love it? It's true!) I've looked after dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, sizes from 10 to 100+ lbs, mutts to pedigreed show dogs, special diets and medication, even disabled dogs. I guess it goes without saying I'm here because I love and have a strong rapport with animals, but people tell me their animals love me too. I know how important it is to have a sitter you and your pet can trust and that's who I strive to be. I'm currently available for drop-ins and walkies late morning through evening every day, including holidays. I work from home and my schedule is flexible, so I can give your pet(s) the time they need! (Please note I can't board pets or stay overnight with yours, due to space constraints and my own dogs' care needs.) As a pet parent myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave them. Rest assured your pet's safety and comfort are paramount. You show me your routine, and I will follow it to the letter to ensure as much consistency as possible for your pet. I'll send pics and updates every visit.
About: I’ve had many experiences pet sitting. I’ve watched anything from cats and dogs to farm animals! I often pet sit for my family members and neighbors. I have no problem cleaning up litter boxes, brushing, and even giving medications if needed! I’m currently in college and working part time. Right now i’m mostly available Tuesdays and Thursdays after 4. Summer is coming up so my availability will open up! I have no issue cleaning up after the pet and cleaning litter boxes. I can also ensure they have fresh water and if needed food at my visits.
About: I’m a college graduate. My major was in animal assisted therapy. I am cpr certified. I’m all about what is best for the animal. I love animals that is why I choose this profession. This is a passion to me not just a job. Soon I will be offering dog training services as well. I’m currently working a full time job. My schedule for that is Tuesday- Friday 9am-7pm. I will be able to care for pets take them on walks before or after my job. The days I’m off I am 100% available for dog sitting. The days I work I can still dog sit overnight. I do not offer boarding from my home, but I am open to going to the clients home for an overnight stay with the dog.
About: I have taken care of my own dogs for over 30 years. Whatever your dog needs I can do including Medications, trips to the vet, whatever they need Retired so I can spend time with your pup without much distraction. If you want your dog spoiled like at home I'm the person you need I have 2 friendly dogs and a fenced in yard to keep your pups company. I can also crate them if needed. I'm here to provide a just like at home experience.

Nafawna is great at what she does! We left for 9 days and were completely at ease that the pets were not only receiving the care they needed, but the attention and love as well. She gives in depth summaries of visits and sends a ton of photos! Thanks, Nafawna!!
