“We are so grateful to Emily for the exceptional care she provided for our two cats while we were away for two weeks. It was clear from her thoughtful updates that she genuinely cares for animals. She kept us informed with regular photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were in such capable hands. Emily’s thorough attention to their needs and her kindness made all the difference. We’re truly thankful for her and would absolutely trust her with our pets again in the future!”


3. Linda T.


“Wow, Linda again went above and beyond for my cats! One of them started to act a little sick/injured while I was out of state, and she did two extra drop ins just to check in on him before I got back, even though she definitely didn’t have to. I cannot tell her enough how thankful I am!!! She really cares about my animals, and she’s a blessing of a rover!!! If I could give her 10 stars I would!”

She went above and beyond, sending me so many pictures and videos of my cat, which truly put my mind at rest. Not only did she give her plenty of attention and playtime, but the photos she took were so beautiful that I had to get some printed. My cat was in great care, and I’m so grateful for her kindness and dedication. Thank you, Fatemah, for being such a wonderful pet sitter!”

17. Kimmey B.
About: Our entire family loves to care for animals! I personally have been a responsible pet sitter for over 25 years. While we currently are a pet free home, we have been thankful to have owned and cared for a black lab, yorkie poo (lived until 15), two German Shepards (currently guard dogs in Haiti), rabbits and many goats. While your pet is with me you will receive multiple updates and feel secure in the fact that they are being loved and taken care of just as you would! I would all love the privilege to care for your beloved dog while you are away! I am a stay at home homeschool mom and have the ability to care for your animal all day. It is so fun to incorporate dog walks and playtime with your animals in my daily schedule. I can easily crate your fur baby, or they can sleep in a comfy dog bed. We have a large yard, with a small portion fenced. Since we are a homeschool family, we spend a lot of time out doors and I love to take dogs for walks and let them join us outside if that is what your fur baby enjoys. If you need help with drop in services at your own home, I can arrange those services to meet your dogs needs.

“Alycia did a wonderful job checking in on my kitten over a several days, and kept me up to date with daily updates and photos. I’d happily recommend her again!”


19. Allie D.
