“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.”
“We travel a lot, but we always make sure our kiddos are taken care of. She always sent photos and cute descriptions which make us so happy to see. We will 100% use her in the future. So kind!”
“Amy is wonderful, I felt completely comfortable having her check in on my pets…cats, rabbits and fish! She is so reliable, and confidently gave my clever kitty her meds with no problems everyday. I cannot recommend Amy enough!”
“Our cats were immediately comfortable with Leah, and she is very organized, she remembered instructions I mentioned only once, she also improvised to get our older and pickier cat to eat. Thanks Leah!”
“Maria watched our cat, Dale, for 10 days while my husband and I were out of town. This was our first time using Rover and my husband and I were both a little hesitant, but Maria blew our expectations out of the water. She responded to messages very quickly, kept us informed of her drop in times, and sent us lots of pictures of our fur baby while we were away. We will definitely be hiring Maria again for our next out of town trip.”
“Paige was wonderful! She kept me regularly updated on how my cats were doing and truly cared for their well-being. She was attentive and proactive! She messaged me about closing a window before a hot day, which I really appreciated. She even took the time to clean the dust bin of my vacuum robot! My cats are usually very shy, but Paige was so gentle and patient that she managed to earn their trust.”
“Grace did a great job with our senior pup and cat on recent drop in visits and walks. She was responsive, professional, and timely - and most importantly, the animals were really sorry to see her go!!”
About: I have loved taking care of pets as long as I can remember! I’ve always been surrounded by dogs and would love to get to know and care for your furry friend! I currently work full time in the mornings. I am available to spend time with your pet in the late afternoon. Over the weekends I am very flexible! I will play with your pet, feed them, let them out on potty breaks, walk them, and do overnight stays when needed! I am flexible!
“Sydney took the best care of our cat Cooper and I could tell when we got home that he was given lots of attention! She was super thorough with all of her notes about her visits and took lots of great pictures for us to see our little guy while we were gone. Thanks for taking such good care of him!”
“Denis & Nikki are so kind and we couldn’t be happier with the care they provided to our two cats while we were away. We will definitely book with them again!”
About: I owned a small dog and a fairly large one (a Rough Collie). I love animals. I want to do dog walking and sitting as my main job. I'm 5'10 and 210 lbs. I'm great with small and medium dogs. I'll take out a large dog who is leash-trained. On rare occasions, I take out extra-large dogs. Pet care will be my main priority. My other work is very flexible. I usually work from home or a cafe. For dog walking, I typically play with dogs. I'm patient, so we can take our time - even if that means sniffing every tree. I usually do dog sitting in the client's home and or yard. Occasionally, I board a small or medium-sized dog in my home. I have a small backyard/patio, which is shown in one of my photos.
“Emily is an excellent pup sitter. She is wonderful with my pup. I received photos and updates even without asking. She is wonderfully reliable and has a great, personable approach. Highly recommended,”
“Lauren is fantastic! You can tell she really loves animals; she sent me a meow conversation between her and my cat ❤️ It was adorable and the cats weren’t starved for attention when we got home, even though they’re usually pretty needy, which means they got lots of pets. I wish we could use her for petsitting all the time!”
“Marta was very good with Willow. She was able to accommodate us last minute and was very flexible when we needed to add a day. She took excellent care of her and kept us up to date on how she was doing.”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent, I’ve had the joy of raising several dogs of my own—from playful puppies to beloved seniors. Being part of their entire life cycle has taught me not only how to care for different stages of life, but how to truly understand what pets need to feel safe, happy, and loved. What sets me apart? I bring personal experience, genuine affection, and reliable care to every walk and visit. Walks with me aren’t just exercise—they’re fun, stimulating adventures tailored to your pet’s energy and personality. Whether it’s a quick stroll or a slow-paced outing for an older pup, I make sure your furry friend enjoys every moment. My daytime schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with your pet care needs. Whether it’s a mid-morning walk, afternoon visit, or keeping your kitty company while you’re away, I’ll do my best to accommodate your routine. I provide care exclusively in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable and secure. Safety is always my top priority—I follow your routines, respect your space, and make sure your pet is never left in an unsafe situation. I treat every home and animal with the same care and attention I give my own.
“Helena stayed overnight at my apartment with my 2 cats for 10 days. Very responsible and was able to give daily medicine. She was understanding when my cats would wake her up at 5:30am for wet food. Would use again!”
“Anna provided such great care for my cat Henrik; they bonded quickly; Henrik began greeting her each day with a series of meows. Anna kept me fed and provided him fresh water as well as some needed attention. She also kept the faucet running a little in my apartment to prevent freezing during our cold snap. She did such a great job that I'm already booking her for my next outing.”

Megan D.
“My cats love Megan! She is a spectacular cat sitter. She is SO attentive to them. She's very creative and makes up the funniest games. My cats are a year old, so still kittens. One is friendly and the other one is timid. She tends to hide from strangers, even my Mom. By the second time Megan came to sit for me, my shy cat was out from under the bed to greet her! They both like to be where "Auntie Megan (Midge)" is. The real proof of her cat watching talents is when I get home from a week long trip. In the past my Mom would come over twice a day to feed them and play with the fishing poles. Before using Megan, when I would arrive home, my cats were almost unhinged. They would be all over me and at bedtime try to sleep on my face. It would take a couple of days for them to relax again. Now that I have Megan sleep over, the cats are SO RELAXED & CHILL. It's 180 degree difference. They sleep with Megan...a true test, and cuddle with her. The difference in their contentment is really obvious. More than my cats liking her, I can tell she really enjoys hanging out with them. She does some remote work while there, but my fur babies were her priority. When they walk over her laptop keyboard, she doesn't mind. They are playful adolescents. She even brought them some new mouse toys. Also, she's more into tech than I am. She introduced them to Cat TV and cat iPad games. I liked the daily photos she sent. Megan offers a very high end and loving experience for your cats. I highly recommend.”

Esther G.
“Esther is amazing with pets. She’s incredibly thoughtful, patient, and attentive. Overall exactly the kind of person you’d want caring for your furry family members. I’ve seen firsthand how naturally animals are drawn to her calm energy and loving nature. On top of that, Esther has a flexible schedule, which means she can be available when you need her most! Whether it’s going for walks, giving belly rubs, or just being a reliable companion, Esther shows up with so much care and responsibility. Any pet would be lucky to have her looking after them!”
