Taylor did an amazing job with my cats! She sent detailed updates, cute pictures, and even brought some of her own toys to play with them. After a series of flops with other Rover sitters, it’s such a relief to find one I feel like I can trust! I’ll definitely be booking with her again.

Melanie was incredible! I was out of the country for 2 whole weeks and did not worry about my cat once. Her daily logs and photos were wonderful and heartwarming. She put so much care into each visit. Even when Truffle had accidents or made a mess, she took care of it and even went so far as to take home some dirty towels and rags to clean. I cannot recommend Melanie enough!!

I couldn’t be happier with the cat sitting service I received! From the moment I reached out, Ioana was responsive, friendly, and incredibly professional. She took the time to get to know my cat and his routine, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I received regular updates and pictures, and it was clear that my cat was comfortable and well cared for. Ioana went above and beyond, even making sure my cat’s litter was kept clean. I highly recommend Ioana to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy!

Kelsey is 5 star plus!! My cat has only been left with a house sitter since I got her 1 1/2 years ago. I was extremely nervous leaving her for just multiple drop ins over 3 days with a new sitter. When she came for the visitation first, I immediately felt more than comfortable with Kelsey! Her love and knowledge of cats was immediately evident and I knew she would be great with Lily. She even spent time offering me tips with problems I have with Lily! When she left, I felt at ease and comfortable leaving her. Communication and pictures were outstanding and I could see how well everything was going. She followed all my "obsessive" directions wonderfully! I came home to a relaxed, happy cat! Kelsey, Lily and I thank you for your wonderful care!!

Allison was able to do check-ins + walks for my dog Frankie while I was out of town for the day. Allison was so sweet and patient with Frankie who can be a bit timid at first but judging by the pics that were sent on both walks Frankie had a great time. She was happy and safe and relaxed when I got home. Will definitely hire Allison in the future, appreciated her thoroughness and kindness :)

We have used Cassi to drop-in on our two cats for three long trips now and every time has been a wonderful experience. Cassi is always quick to respond to questions, or requests for cat sitting. She is reliable and I feel comfortable being away from home knowing that she will take good care of our kitties during her drop-in visits. My favorite part are the detailed updates Cassi provides for each drop-in. She always leave cute messages about how the cats are doing and how they were feeling in addition to photos! I will continue to use Cassi for all my cat sitting needs, and highly recommend her.

Nolan has helped me with watching my cat when I’m out of town. He makes sure the litter box is always clean! He plays with my cat till he’s exhausted and ready for a good nap which I appreciate.

Elizabeth is a fantastic dog sitter! Over the summer, she stayed at our house for a week to care for our dogs while we were away. She regularly sent photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. She even bought them homemade dog treats (with our permission) from a local farmers market—which I thought was especially kind of her! It's clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after, which is everything a pet owner could ask for. On top of that, she took excellent care of our home. If she hadn’t moved recently, she’d still be our go-to sitter!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8! I have two dogos of my own and 5 cats! My family had relied on my to pet sit for their dogs and a bunny before for a week or even longer sometimes. I feed, walk, play, and bathe when needed. I a currently a recently graduated college student looking to make some extra cash to help with a car payment and rent! I do have a job right now as a supervisor at a restaurant mostly working mornings for the month of February but I am a night owl and can be an early riser! We have a fenced in yard for my two dogs here at home. We also have a very comforting space here at my house for the cats. I am willing to work with you as a client to make sure your pet is comfortable while in my care!
