“We booked Michelle and Christy last minute because our usual sitter was unavailable. They were great with our cats and provided pics,videos, and notes while we were away. We would use them again if our usual sitter happens to be unavailable again.”
“Jennifer was great. She took care of my cat beautifully, and kept in touch with me so that I knew what was happening every day. I would definitely use her again!”
“Very kind and considerate. Did everything to calm my skittish kitty. Made sure he ate, and bought Mr. finicky a little chicken treat. Grabbed mail and packages! Reliable and considerate!”
“Beth was amazing! She communicated clearly and took great care of our critters. We were able to be away from home and rest easing knowing our kitty was great hands. Will for sure use again!”
“We had left our 2 cats under Kelly’s care when we went on our trip. One of them is under medication. Kelly was very regular in sending us the pics and the daily updates. It’s always nice to have the feeling that someone is there to take care of our pets with the same care we give. Kelly has been great. Even my timid cat went and mingled with her ... which is a big deal!!”
“We enjoy having Jessica drop in on our new puppy. She is attentive and really loves snuggling with our furbaby. Will be using her again soon.”
“Bree was absolutely amazing with drop-in visits for our 3 cats on a last minute notice. She did a great job caring for and loving our kitties. Bree consistently sent detailed meal time and potty updates throughout the day - this was the first time we have been able to enjoy ourselves fully on a vacation without worrying about our babies at home! We highly recommend Bree and will be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Thank you Courtney for taking such good care of our kitty. Communication with you was great and we highly recommend you to anyone looking for a cat sitter. We appreciate the pics sent each day. It was very reassuring, particularly since this was the first time we used Rover. Will definitely contact you in the future if the need arises.”
“This is my second year having Katie check in on our cat while we are on vacation and it has been great. Katie goes above and beyond giving us a detailed update daily and she even gets our shy kitty to play a bit.”
“April did a wonderful job dropping in our cat. She was very professional, responsible and sent detailed updates as well. We appreciated her doing early morning and late night drop-ins, which helped ease our minds. Even though our cat is shy and sometimes even anti-social, April attempted to play with her and make her feel comfortable. We will definitely use April again and we highly recommend her services.”
“Alyssa was very professional. My shy cat who comes out for no one, came to her when she was there on the first day. She always responded to me very quickly and was always very courteous. Would definitely use her again and recommend her highly.”
About: We’ve always had pets growing up so caring for them is second nature to me. We currently have 2 active dogs that love to play. We also have 1 cat in the home, as well as 2 young kids. I love animals of all kinds! Your pup will be well cared for and treated as if they’re our own. I am a stay at home parent and seldom leave for more than 1-2 hours at a time. I am able to be here to give potty breaks whenever they’re needed. We have a fenced in yard with lots of room for the pups to run around and play until their heart is content. Our 2 dogs love to be outside and play with others. Your dog is sure to fit in and get plenty of time playing. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to be here with your dog. We like to spend lots of time playing in the backyard with our pups so your dog will get plenty of play time and attention from me and my family. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs to keep your fur baby happy and content. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“I met Julia when she came over for a meet and greet before taking care of my cats for two drop in visits. She is a wonderful, warm young woman with a caring, mature attitude. I knew she would take good care of my darlings and indeed she did.”
About: This fall I will be starting my first year of veterinary school in Ireland. I’ve had dogs my entire life and started pet sitting in high school. Over the last few years, I have spent over a 1,000 hours with veterinarians and hundreds of hours devoted to animal care. Currently, I have open availability during the weeks and most weekends. Please feel free to reach out if you need a pet walker/sitter this summer! I will care for your fur babies like my own! I understand how stressful leaving a piece of your family at home while you’re away can be. I have the ability to provide peace of mind while you’re away, knowing that your pet is comfortable, safe, and cared for at home.
“Sara did a fantastic job in making sure that our animals were well taken care of and sent cute pictures to keep us at ease! Thank you!”
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since i was 14, having pets of my own right now it being a golden retriever. I've been relied on to walk/bathe/ groom my friends and family's pets. I have nothing going on besides taking care of my pup, so I definitely have time to take care of yours! Im available Monday through Thursday, 11am - 9pm unless Im pet sitting full day. I will take your pet out whenever needed, let them get used to me first before any drastic things happen like a bath. Am able to help train and get your dog in a routine.
“Rachel does a fantastic job and is so nice. She responds to my texts right away and sends great pictures of my two cats. Hire her! You won’t be disappointed!!”
“Lauren was great! It was our first time boarding our kitty and unfortunately she wasn’t super friendly but Lauren was patient and tried her best.”
“Such a nice family who obviously love animals. My cat Ginger was a little hesitant to leave the safety and familiarity of her carrier once I left. Kelly & Robert gave her space and time to adjust to her new surroundings. I would highly recommend them. I would not hesitate to leave my Ginger with them in the future. She came home a happy cat who enjoyed her mini vacation.”
About: I love all kinds of dogs. I’ve had multiple dogs from little to small since I was little and know the responsibility of caring for your furry fam! My friends and family always call me first if they need someone to take care of their pet because they know I’m the girl for the job! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time throughout the week. Mondays, Tuesday’s and Wednesdays are my free days. Mostly any time of the day. I’m very energetic and would love to play/ walk your dog! I believe I’m very good at knowing what a dog needs and wants. At home my pets are loved and very well taken care of. Looking forward to do the same for yours!

Carley M.
“Carley watched my English bulldog, OsKar and I could not have been more pleased with her attention to his needs and making him feel comfortable and at “home” while I was away on a work trip. When I picked up OsKar you could tell he had a blast hanging out with her two dogs both who are super friendly and got along with OsKar very well. Carley has a fenced in yard which made me feel even more at ease knowing OsKar would be safe running out in the backyard for a quick potty break. I sent OsKar with special treats and Carley had no problem giving them to him before and after going out to potty and before bed. I would ask Carley to care for my dog again and again! It is so nice to have someone close by that I can really count on and trust with my pup. Highly recommend!!”
