Outstanding pet sitters! They went above and beyond to care for my cats—ensuring fresh food and water, clean litter, and a clean environment. They gave the beasts plenty of love, attention, and brushing. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets.

Payton did an incredible job caring for our dog, Akira! She was extremely patient, friendly, and kept great communication throughout every home visit. Even though Akira was a little guarded at first, Payton stayed calm and gently earned her trust—something I truly appreciated. I loved reading through her detailed Rover cards and looking through the pics she sent after each visit. I highly recommend booking Payton to care for your furry family members!

About: Scrubs by day, belly rubs by night :) I'm a Nurse by profession, and caregiver at heart. Compassion, honesty and reliability are the foundation of everything I do. I have 15+ years of caring for animals of all ages and sizes, so providing love, comfort, protection and trusted care comes naturally to me. From the moment I meet you and your fur baby, you become family. Your pet will be loved, cared for and treated as such. On the days that I'm available, I keep my schedule very open and flexible so I can fully dedicate my time, attention and care to your fur baby. I care for every pet as if they were my own by creating a safe, loving and comfortable environment. I make sure they stay on their normal routine and receive lots of attention and affection. Just like humans, every pet has their own personality and needs, therefore I will take the time to make them feel secure, relaxed and loved.

About: I personally own a 3 year old cocker spaniel and 2 cats! I’ve had pets my whole life! I hope you can trust me with yours and meet you soon! I am self employed full time but hours are not always stable so my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m always available nights! With a notice in advance I’m available at any time! I have a two story place and my fur baby is very sweet and gets along with other dogs just sometimes shy! I live right across from a park so we often walk there and play or walk on the path next to the park depending on what the pets are feeling!

I had to take a last minute trip for about a week and luckily Michelle’s schedule was flexible enough to watch my little guy. My dog is super high energy and she was very thorough in exercising him whenever she visited! It was my first time leaving him for that long, but having Michelle watch him eased my worries completely. I know he had a great time playing with her every day! Highly recommend!

Markita made our first Rover booking the easiest decision ever. We were nervous leaving Freddie and Charlie alone with a “stranger” for 12 days - this was the longest we’ve been away from them. Markita gave us the peace of mind we needed to relax on our trip. She was responsive and went the extra mile with everything. Most of all, she bonded with the boys which was really special. Thanks Markita for taking care of our boys and our home! We know exactly who to call on to take care of them for our next trip. ❤️🐱

About: I’ve been watching pets of all sorts for the last 10 years from dogs and cats to chickens and ducks. I love animals and want to continue to work them! I’ve also owned dogs and cats in the past so I’ve had a lot of experience with them. I work part time as a nanny (8:45am-12:45) but I’m free anytime before that and in the afternoon I am also free. I also love going on walks and would love to take a buddy along the way. To insure your pets safety I will make sure they are properly secured however is needed before heading out this can include but not limited to creating or locking fences.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 18. In the past it’s only been friends of family. I love taking care of other people’s dogs while they are away. I have done a house with 4 dogs(2 senior dogs and 2 younger ones with one of them being a puppy). That house had the 4 dogs and a guinea pig I had to feed. I have dog sat for a lady that had 2 dogs and a cat. I only have experience taking care of 1 cat. I fed the cat, made sure she had water, gave her treats. I played with the dogs and took on a walk. I fit this into my schedule pretty well. I am a part time college student and work a warehouse job part time. I love animals. My pet care services are designed to offer fur babies the best possible attention and love while the families are away. I feed, make sure pets have water, I will give any supplements or medications, playtime ensuring they are happy and healthy.

had a great experience working with Shang over a two week period. She walked and fed my dogs with so much care and reliability. I even had an “oops” moment where I mistakenly thought a day was booked when it wasn’t, and she was incredibly gracious and understanding when I reached out. Once we sorted out my mistake, she confirmed the remaining days and everything went smoothly. I truly appreciate her professionalism, kindness, and flexibility. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!

Leaving our cats on vacation is always hard- but it’s infinitely easier knowing that Jessica is there to take care of them! Jessica is fantastic- communicative, detail oriented, and a wonderful problem solver. She is so kind and caring towards our cats. She writes the most detailed notes about our cats and sends plenty of pictures- it was the highlight of our vacation to read them together! Our cats also gave wonderful reviews but they might have been bribed by the treats jessica gave them so they do have some conflict of interest ;)

Aimee was wonderful! She cared for mine and my husband’s two cats while we were away. One of our cats is known for not being so friendly towards strangers, but she took to Aimee right away, which gave me a lot of reassurance. She provided excellent care for our cats and I hope she is available again next time we need a sitter.

From the very first visit, I knew my four cats were in the best hands. Anita has this incredible way of putting you at ease; she jumped right in, effortlessly managing their individual diets and medications. It was amazing to see my usually shy cats instantly warm up to her! The daily updates and photos were the highlight of my day, and her communication is top-notch. It’s rare to find someone so genuinely dedicated to providing such loving care. Anita is officially my go-to sitter!

This is the second time Kat has looked after our kitties while on vacation and I cannot begin to describe how amazing she is. She has such a way with animals that our cats took to her instantly and they were so well cared for while we were gone (which eased so much of our anxiety!). She sent honest, thorough, and meaningful updates and really gave such diligent care to our kiddos. She’s the best!

Kacey and Liz did a great job taking care of our dogs, cats, and guinea pigs while we were on vacation. Their communication was great throughout the process, and they sent us photos every day to reassure us that all was well. We felt confident that they had everything in hand and were able to relax knowing all was well at home. We will definitely book with them again.
