“Anna is awesome. She’s always arriving for Franklin’s schedules walks within the times discussed. You can tell immediately that she loves animals and is always communicating when she’s on premises. She’s great!”
“Tatyana did a drop in visit for us and was great. We have a high energy puppy and she was calm and kind. She sent pics of the visit which we loved. I will use her again.”
“Noel took amazing care of our cat! He was professional, kind, and clearly has a special way with animals—he truly speaks cat. He followed our routine perfectly, spent quality time with our kitty, brought treats, and even sent us the cutest photos. We felt so at ease knowing our cat was in such good hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again. Thank you, Noel!”
About: Please read my profile details IN FULL before booking for relevant information such as my work schedule. I typically work Monday through Friday from 7am to 3pm (minus federal holidays). Sometimes I work brief shifts on weekends, usually once per month. Be sure to also read the "information Lillian would like to know about your pet" section in full to understand what types of pets I can or cannot work with. Thank you! **Boarding is currently not offered - I ONLY board cats - I no longer board dogs or any other animals, and any boarding requests for non-felines will be rejected. In-home sitting is available for dogs, cats, and all other species. Thank you for understanding!** Hello! My name is Lillian. I have 7+ years of continuous experience in industries such as ER/ICU veterinary medicine, domestic & exotic animal care, daycare, and boarding. I am also a professional cat & dog groomer. My skills include creating personalized care plans for boarding & in-home pet sitting clients, administering medication, providing grooming options, and so much more than you will find in a traditional boarding setting. I own and exhibit cats in TICA & CFA conformation shows - I own breed, regional, and international winners. I previously exhibited dogs in AKC & UKC. I am an expert in feline husbandry. My personal cats are exceptionally well cared for and provided with the best nutrition, enrichment, and loving interaction that I can offer. You can relax knowing that when your cats are served by me, they will be treated as one of my own and offered all of the same luxuries that my fancy show cats receive. I only board one client/household at a time to ensure that your cats will feel comfortable in my home. My personal cats will never have contact with my boarding clients. I do in-home pet sitting and drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and all other species of pets. My laboratory animal husbandry experience allows me to adapt to uncommon & exotic species. No matter if your pet is furry, feathery, scaly, or slimy, I can assist with their care. Please contact me today in order to reserve your pet's in-home pet sitting, or your cat's boarding space within my home. I am happy to go over the details with you on what amenities your pet will receive, the services that I am able to provide, and how my skills & expertise set me apart from the competition. I am currently working full-time in medical research. I work Monday through Friday from 7a-3p. Please feel free to contact me about your availability and the times/dates that you would like. I DO NOT OFFER full-time in-home sitting (where I am in the home with the pet(s) for the entirety of the stay, only leaving for short necessities) as I am working 40 hours per week. FOR IN-HOME SITTING: I will provide all of the care necessary for your pet, as dictated by your requirements (I prefer to have these on paper in writing). Dogs will receive frequent yard time and walks as requested. Cats will have their litter scooped twice per day or as requested by the client. All other species of pet - requirements for care in writing are required. Grooming services can be provided with a fee. I am also able to take care of chores around the home such as ensuring that hired workers have access to the property, taking out garbage/recycling on trash day, caring for plants, etc. Unless otherwise stated, I will be staying in your home overnight so that your pet has someone monitoring them. For my own privacy, I do not do in-home sitting in homes that have video recording devices in bed or bath rooms (unless removed prior to stay). Cameras are fine in common areas. FOR BOARDING: I offer safe, secure, and comfortable boarding options for felines. I only board one client/household at a time in order to ensure minimal stress and maximum comfort for your cat(s). Boarding services will be customized entirely to meet the needs of your cat(s). In my home, I have a large, secure three-tier cat cage that I keep away from my own personal cats. This cage is outfitted with a litter box, food & water, cat beds, and your choice of toy options - it is larger and far more customizable than any traditional boarding option. Boarding clients will be in the cage when I am gone during the day, and they have the option of free-roaming in my front room when I am at home. Your cat(s) will always be apart from and never have contact with my own personal cats.
“Traci always goes above and beyond to take care of our kitties. She genuinely cares about providing great care for our cats and it shows. She also always gets great photos of our cats that make us feel like we're there with them when we're away. Your pets will thank you for choosing Traci to take care of them while you're gone!”
“Sydney was professional, communicated often, and was well-loved by our cats. We got great updates while we were out of town. She went over and above to also bring in packages, etc. We will absolutely ask her to come back!”
“Meaghan is so great! Our dog has gotten more anxious with age, and she was so patient with him! We felt so comfortable he was in good hands and got great updates and pictures!!”
“Julissa is such an angel. We realized the day before our trip that we hadn’t booked a pet sitter, and she was able to help us out last minute no problem. She is so communicative and responsible, and has taken amazing care of our cats! This was our second time booking her through Rover and we plan to be reaching back out again. 10/10 recommend!”
About: I’ve raised, cared for, and trained many different breeds of dogs, providing individual based care while still maintaining consistent results! The wellbeing and happiness of pup and parent are my number one priority! Working with animals is such a blessing, I’m glad to be able to do it. I am working part time, but am very flexible with scheduling! I currently am able to do walks as I have a nice park near my home. If there are other specifications you have please don’t hesitate to reach out!
“Patti is an amazing puppy sitter! She took such good care of my dog and sent detailed updates throughout her stay. She is extremely reliable, and has great communication.”
“Cecelia was amazing!!! Our dog loved her so much and she was so good about checking in every drop in and sending pictures and updates. The best!! Truly appreciate her so much and will definitely be using again in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m a 22 year old I have a dog and have always trained and taken care of family pets throughout the years. I wanted to be a veterinarian as a child so I love animals in general. My goal is to make your pet shine with my love & care! I treat my dog as my child, so I would love to treat your as my children as well. I’m currently part-time student and enjoy taking care of pets. My dog has his own room, so I will mostly likely have your pets in my living room for playtime, I also have a small fence so they will be safe to play with there toys. I have a wide backyard perfect for playtime. I also have a fenced backyard. My backyard is a clean space, and the grass is always cut, so they will be safe. I have a small patio which they can rest to get some sunshine! I can provide small / big dog bowls or toys to keep your pet entertained and worth the stay with my care 💛
“I wholeheartedly recommend cassandra! She watched our 2 kitties for a long trip we took and she was super communicative, the cats loved her, and she stayed on top of everything. We would definitely love to book her again in the future.”
“Beth has been incredible! She’s really made this a smooth process for us and, most importantly, our puppy as we return to work. Our pup loves her and is extremely well taken care of!!”
“Ariana was great with my senior dog and very skittish younger pup! She communicated throughout every visit and really made me feel my babies were not just safe but really cared for. Would absolutely book again. Thanks again Ariana!”

Lizzy was a godsend. She did things that I never even asked of her and followed my instructions to the TEE. She took amazing care of my babies and gave Venus extra love after she locked herself in the bathroom. She even took out the garbage and refilled my dry food feeder. Please book with her. She’s my go to person moving forward for short trips. ❤️
We hired Brittainny to do several drop in visits while we were out of town! We just wanted someone to come and hangout with our animals because we normally work from home so they aren’t used to being alone. She sent such cute photos to us and helped put our minds at ease. We would highly recommend her, and plan to use her again in the future!
I truly cannot say enough good things about Larissa. She has such a calming energy and the sweetest soul—you can immediately feel how much she loves animals. I have two dogs, and one is usually very selective with people, but you would never know it with her. The second she walked in, he went straight up to her and was instantly affectionate—it honestly melted my heart. My younger dog Patrick can be a bit of a menace at times, and she handled him so patiently and graciously. Watching her with my dogs gave me so much peace of mind. I would recommend her over and over again to anyone!
Natalia did an amazing job with my cat! My cat is high energy and requires a little bit of extra attention, especially when I am away for a few days. Natalia played with her and gave her that much needed attention with great joy and affection! She sent lots of photos and videos so I knew my cat was taken care of in the best possible way. Thank you Natalia!
This was our first time with Mirella, and she was super attentive and communicated well. She was so kind and had great attention for our kitties. She’s very proactive and knows how to deal with situations in the best way possible. We are so grateful she agreed to take care of our boys!! Definitely recommended booking your next visit with her 🥰.
We cannot recommend Hannah highly enough! She took such wonderful care of our cats! We had her drop by just to play with our cat who has a ton of energy, but she gave all 3 of them attention. Our orange cat, who is the scardiest of scaredy cats, usually hides from everyone. But incredibly, he came out for her and even took a treat from her hand. We were shocked (and so grateful)! Her updates gave us so much peace of mind, and it was obvious our cats felt safe and cared for in her presence. We would absolutely book her again without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and amazing with even the most nervous pets, she’s it!
