“Tonia is absolutely wonderful! She takes exceptional care of our cat Ellie whenever we're away, giving us complete peace of mind. She's reliable, compassionate, and someone we trust wholeheartedly with our pet. We highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs!”
“I had a last minute request to watch my 3 dogs. I appreciate that she took the time to meet the boys before the assigned days. She is punctual and thorough. I will definitely reach out again for her help.”
“Laura did a great job with our kitties! She even took the time to bring in boxes from our porch. We have an older cat with an unusual no-litter situation which she was very willing to work with. It helped make our vacation less stressful knowing our boys were in good hands!”
“Jessica is extremely kind and patient with my girls. We had a hiccup with the instructions that were left BUT she was very apologetic, it was a harmless mistake and no issues since. I trust that her attention to detail has been heightened and I truly believe that she just wants to take the best care of my girls while I’m away. I will continue to book with Jessica as my first option, my work schedule requires getting outside help to care for my girls so I’m looking forward to having Jessica drop in on my girls for as long as she’s able and willing.”
“Tesla went above and beyond! She gave detailed updates which was very appreciated. She also sent cute pictures and cleaned up after my cat (even cleaned all of his dishes). I am very impressed and definitely would recommend!!!”
“Misr is very personable. She came for a visit ( which was with my partner)aince it was her first time dropping in to care for the two dogs. We first video chatted and I knew I selected someone with pet experience and a real love and connection towards animals. Both of us felt the sincerity and warmth immediately. The dogs, one of which is not social both liked her spirit. Misty followed instrucions and requests to a t, was prompt and thorough. So glad I chose Misty to allow us to be gone Christmas day and not worry the dogs were in excellent care. Thank you for facilitating a break away from home and lovingly checkimg on our 2 dogs.”
“Kaycee was a wonderful sister! That kitties took to her easily and communication with Kaycee was prompt. I would definitely consider rebooking! Thanks Kaycee! ???”
“Patti is the best! We have had a very tough month with the death of a family member, and we have had to travel out of town a few times, sometimes last-minute. Patti has been so flexible and helpful during this really difficult time. She is reliable and will take great care of your pet.”
“Andrea is the BEST!! Literally book her while you still can!!!! It was my first time using Rover for my kitten and I was super anxious about everything but I quickly realized she is in great hands with Andrea! She connected with my kitten and learned what she likes and treated her like her own fur baby! Andrea sent me updates and pictures through out which gave me lots of reassurance. Andrea stayed at my apartment and left it so clean and perfect! Also, Andrea is literally just the sweetest person you will ever meet and you can tell she genuinely cares and wants the best for your pet!!! I cannot say enough great things about her!!”
“Sandy was awesome. We loved the daily updates with photos of our kitties. We were able to relax during our time away knowing that our pets were well taken care of. We highly recommend Sandy and we will use her pet services again in the future. Thank you!”
“Kirstey did such a wonderful job taking care of my cat Lulu. I came home from a 4 day trip to a neat and clean home, the cat was happy and well fed and taken care of. Kirstey sent so many photos and kept me up to date on how Lulu was doing and how she was taking her meds. Very communicative sitter and sweet person. I’ll definitely book again.”
“Elizabeth did a great job dropping in on our gaggle of kitties (mama and babies fosters added some chaos!) While we were out of town. I appreciated her being agreeable to a quick meet and greet beforehand since our logistics were a little complex and too much to type out ? She followed instructions well and kindly brought in a couple packages we received. I recommend her for sure!”
About: I work as an animal bather full-time at my current job. I will be able to give your dog/cat a bath (if needed/if wanted) . I work 8am-4pm on a daily most days but I normally get off at 2 or 3 during the week, Saturdays I get off around 3:30ish depending on how busy we are. And Sundays are around 1isb. Some times I work til noon or I don't go in til 10am and work til 6am. But I can have a very flexible schedule I make sure that my cat gets a lot of playtime and has food all the time. I sometimes take her on adventures with me as well
About: I have (in the past) had both cats and dogs as pets. Currently, I dog sit for a couple friends or family members as needed. I’m a retired nurse. Other than some travel, I am available most days for dog or cat sitting in your home, dog walking or play time. I care for dogs by staying in the client’s home, feeding, walking, playing and spending time with the dog. Cats…same except for walking them..LOL. Play, feeding and spending time with cats.
About: I have had at least one pet from the day I was born. I’ve also dog sat for my family many times. I helped train my own and others dogs the basic commands. I am a college student on summer break with no job so I have all the time in the world to play, walk, and care for pets. I am attentive and active when caring for pets. I can easily follow any care instructions and build a bond with the animal. I make sure to pay attention to how they are responding to me / things to avoid any incidents.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own animals since I was 10 years old. Professionally I’ve worked as a receptionist at a vet clinic for the last 6 months gaining new knowledge every day. I know about giving medication and have experience. I also know general soothing techniques, and what signs to look for if an animal is sick. I’m currently working part time and available certain weekends and occasionally weekdays, usually Wednesdays and evenings. I’m extremely flexible with my hours and if given enough time I can make your schedule work with mine. I have a fenced in yard and leashes. I do have carriers and a crate if your animal would need that. I also have baby gates to block off rooms in the house.

Amya P.
“Amya has cared for our dog while we've been on vacation. She checks in on him multiple times a day to let him out, make sure he has food/water, and walks him/plays with him. She has always taken good care of him and made sure to secure the house before leaving. She is our number 1 go to person when we need a dog sitter!”
Jordan H.
“Jordan did an amazing job when I asked her to look after my cats when I was out of town. She made sure that they were cared for and stress free while I was gone, and even sent me pictures of my cat Daisy, who came out from under the bed and greeted Jordan (Daisy is very timid, and NEVER comes out for strangers/people who aren’t her humans). There really isn’t a better person to care for your pets than Jordan. Her soft, sweet, and gentle nature makes sure even the most timid and anxious animals are relaxed and happy when their humans are out of town.”
