“Carole was an amazing sitter while I was on vacation, helping to give me more peace of mind that my pet is being well looked after. She even brought in packages that arrived while I was gone and sent updates with photos during each visit. I was delighted to see that my kitty was in great company and receiving affection and care while I was gone. I will definitely look to her again next time!”



“Alison was amazing! My cat is usually super shy but he came out for her to play and eat. I felt very comfortable with her coming to my place in my absence and will definitely book her in the future!”



“Ihana has done drop in visits for me and each time she was very responsive and followed instructions perfectly. She sent updates and took good care of my older boy!”


“Katherine was great about showing up consistently at the agreed-upon times and accommodating all my instructions and requests. I was able to enjoy my time away free from worry, knowing that my cats were being well cared for. Would happily hire her again.”


“Will has watched over our pets twice now, and has always provided so much love and attention to the “fur babies.” He is very prompt in his visits and provides superb reports of his visits … along with awesome photos!”


About: I’ve been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember - starting with family and friends fur babies when I was just 8 years old! Now, 10 years later, looking after pets has become one of my favorite things to do. I also have fostered multiple dogs before helping to find their fur-ever home. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a shy cat that needs some extra patience, I’m all about making pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their humans are away. What makes me different? I genuinely love spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. Plus, I’m super reliable and always up for a good game of fetch or cuddle session! I'm currently working part-time so that gives me a flexible schedule to help take care of your pets when you're not there and give them (and me) their cuddle fix! I've been around dogs and cats my entire life, including McKenzie (German Shorthair Pointer) who was my first dog and now Liberty (Cane Corso) who is my current dog and best friend. I've also owned hamsters and have taken care of lizards and guinea pigs. I'll accommodate to your pets' needs and give them the care and attention they deserve.

“Leah was great! She treated our kitty, Sammie, so well, and went over and above, giving time not just for feeding but fun time and play time. She sent us great pictures too. Cannot recommend Leah highly enough. She is our forever pet sitter! 😸”


“Beth was amazing as always and extremely accommodating. Not only do the dogs love her but we adore her as well. She treats the pups as if they are her own and is extra careful of our elderly dog. As long as she is available when we go out of town, she will be our doggie care 🩵”


About: I’ve had a dog since I was 9 years old, and then started taking care of neighbors and family friends pets when I was 15. Neighbors have relied on me to take care of their pets when they’ve been away on long trips, involving me staying at their house, feeding the pets, walking them, and giving them any special medications. I just graduated from college and am in the process of looking for a position in my career, so I will have lots of time to care for your pets and give them the attention they need! I have a fenced yard and lots of walking paths near my area to be able to keep your pet active. I have lots of greenery in my area and could take your dog to a nearby dog park if you would like.

“Aarshika was so good with our pup! He can be a little challenging on the leash and she handled him perfectly! She also spent good quality time with him!”


About: I am a stay at home Mom to 3 children (6,14 & 16) and 1 dog (Huck, 10) and I adore caring for others. I grew up with multiple pets and am positive that I can help look after your lovable furry friend, using a kind and gentle, yet confident, approach. As a stay at home Mom, I am primarily available during school hours Monday through Friday each week for your pet care or dog walking needs. I am flexible though and very happy to discuss early morning, after hours or weekend assistance. I am available to take your pup on a walk and/or give him or her attention and/or a meal & fresh water in the comfort of your home.

“Amazing as always.”


“Debbie is great with my cat Charlie. She is attentive and communicates well taking lots of photos for me. I will definitely reach out to her again.”


“Leah was very helpful and the communication went smoothly. She took good care of our kitties. She gave the kitties their wet food and supplements, as well as some play time.”


About: I am a shih tzu owner and I love all animals. I have major experience with small and medium size dogs and they will have a great time wagging their tail walking outside or playing with my own bebe if you wish! I work from home everyday so my schedule is relatively flexible in the morning (before 9 am) and late afternoons (usually after 3), and I can make time for the evenings too If you are boarding your dog at my house, I do ask for hyper allergenic types of dogs because I’m slightly allergic. And they can stay with me in my living room while I work and play with dog, or if you have special request they can stay in my fenced backyard too. If I do drop in, I’ll do what you ask.

“Jose took great care of my cat Pax!”


About: I have had animals all of my life and I enjoy the joy that they bring to me! I would look forward to seeing your fur baby everyday! Pet care fits into my routine daily. If you were to ask my cat, she'd probably tell you that I do not feed her enough but when that auto feeder goes off, all cuddling sessions stop! I will ensure the safety of your fur baby by making sure that all hazards are put away or thrown away. Safety to my cat is paramount and I will make sure that I treat your fur baby as I do my own

“Sabrina was absolutely amazing. Took great care of our pups and went above and beyond, especially on a short notice. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely use her services again!”


“Hannah saved us since we just moved and needed someone to let our dogs out. She was very responsive and took great care of Pepper and Tux!!! We really appreciate it.”


About: Hi! I will take care of your fur-baby as if they were my own. While I am new to Rover, I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a teenager. I have a clean and quiet home where your baby will get my undivided attention as I only care for one pet at a time. I have a wonderful dog-friendly, safe neighborhood for walks and a nearby dog park. If I have to leave the house your pet will come with me, if they like car rides, or they will have free-reign of the house - unless you prefer them in their crate or placed in a safe space in the house. Your dog must be current on distemper and rabies vaccinations and must provide a copy of their Vet’s certificate. I currently work from home except Tuesdays and Thursdays but can be flexible. Drop off is after 8am and pickup is by 8pm, unless otherwise negotiated. Walks and meals can be adjusted according to your pets routine. I have no pets of my own currently. I can crate your pet if they need it and I offer a quiet, loving and calm environment.

Yichen M.
“Yichen is one of the most loving pet caregivers I know. She treats her sweet dog, Ube, like family and she does the same with my two doggies, Teddy and Freddie. Every time she’s around them, you can see how much she genuinely adores animals. She’s patient, attentive, and always goes the extra mile to make pets feel safe and loved. Teddy is more playful and hands on and Freddie is more reserved. Yichen always knows how to handle each of them based on personality and needs. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like her own - even if it is just for an afternoon walk!”
