“Averi did an excellent job at taking care of my two pets. Unfortunately one of them got a nervous tummy and kept having accidents, but Averi was still ensuring that everything was clean and that the animals are feeling better. I would highly recommend her, she always took such lovely pictures of my fur babies. Would definitely book her again ☺️”
About: I've taken care of a variety of mammals (including dogs and cats) my whole life. I am a recent graduate of veterinary school looking to grow in the veterinary industry by getting as much experience as possible with all kinds of animals. Who doesn't want a pet sitter who has veterinary experience. Not only do I know you're friends' needs, I am able to address any medical concerns that you may have. I am unable to do boarding at my own home at this time, but I have plenty of time throughout the week with any kind of service you need. Including overnight stays. ** I provide a complimentary grooming and nail trim if wanted with EVERY visit!! I am comfortable working in any kind of home that you have, I can guarantee you will be satisfied with how well I work with your furry friend.
“Kathy did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She communicated consistently and always gave me updates on how my cat was doing. I would definitely book again!”
“Mary Ann treats your pets as if they were her own. I trust her fully with my fur baby. She’s a delight and sends pictures and updates on how my good boy is doing so I’m not worried. I know my dog is in good hands with her. I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
“Pei-Wen is such an amazing sitter! She followed all my directions perfectly— and exceeded them too!! She was so loving towards my kitty and sent lots of photos every single day. You can tell she genuinely loves animals 💓 Also cleaned up his area and took the litter out!!! Will definitely book her again when needed!”
About: I have worked in the veterinary field for almost 7 years, starting as a kennel assistant where I had to take care of pets (dogs, cats and the occasional bird) who were boarding with us for 3 years. From there, I slowly transitioned to veterinary technician's assistant then to veterinary technician. Though I am not a certified veterinary technician, I am very confident in my ability to take care of the furry members of the family. On occasions for the past 3 years, I have also dog-sat for my family's and friends' dogs. Which consist of me either staying at their place or making long visits to their home to feed, walk, and clean up after their pets. I am currently working on transitioning to a part time job, where I will more time to spend taking care of pets. This means being able to take care of pets for most of the day, for most of the week. In the client's home, my care philosophy is to know where the pet is at all times (and most of the time, know what they are doing). Working in the veterinary field, I understand how quick things can turn bad, so I like to know that pets are okay at all times.
“Elizabeth was an amazing pet sitter for our two kitties! She made sure to not only give specialized play time with our younger cat, but also gave space to our older shy cat. Both cats seemed to love being around her and we would love to have her catsit for us again!”
“I couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention Tamara provided Laddie my nice but barky kinda shy Sheltie. Tamara was very attentive and desirous to make sure Laddie was comfortable and not stressed out. I highly recommend Tamara and will request her to care for my 4-legged boy any time I need to go away without him. Thanks Stan and Laddie”
“Great experience with Lauren. Very flexible with doing a last min meet & greet and working around my kitty’s medication schedule. Left everything tidy (both kitties are messy eaters). Judging from the photos/updates I could see that my senior furbabies were well taken care of and happy. Would def use Lauren again.”
“SUPER late on writing my review, but still wanted to leave one saying Daela was wonderful with taking care of my mom's cats. Very flexible in that my mom has multiple. Daela made sure they were well taken care of while my mom visited over the holidays and sent us updates letting us know how they were doing. Apologies for the years-late review!! Thanks so much Daela!!”
“Mackenzie is an absolute professional and animal lover with a heart of gold! One-of-a-kind sitting experience. She dropped-in on my two cats during a two week span while we were out of town and the care they recieved was amazing. She follows instructions well and went above and beyond to entertain and look after our babes. Not to mention, she sends the best pics and updates!!! We didn’t have to worry for a single moment that they were happy and cared for. French Fry and Woodstock love their new bff Makenzie!!!”
About: As someone who has lived in a household animated by dogs for most of her life, I have many years of experience caring for them too. Whether your dog is shy or outgoing, active or more leisurely, puppy or adult or elderly - I'm confident I can provide safe, fun and affectionate experience for them while you're away. I'm happy to walk your dog and/or just visit with them at your home. I can bathe your dog, administer medications if needed, and send text/photo updates about my visit with your pet upon request as well. *Because i work full-time and only take Rover bookings on a part-time basis, I'm available during very early am (5-630am) or late afternoon (3-6pm) hours only. My own dog is an indoor dog and very much part of the family. We take special care with his diet and give him the daily walks/exercise he needs - I'll show the same care, concern and affection with your pup too!
“Thanks Rachel for being so easy to work with and for taking great care of our cat! I really appreciate how easy you were to communicate with and the picture updates too! Highly recommend!”
About: I have grown up around all types of animals. It is my passion to care for them and make sure they feel loved. I go the extra mile to make sure everything is good! :) I am currently unemployed, so I have a lot of time to care for pets. Of course not 24/7 because I need to love and care for my Marty! But, my availability is pretty open. I don’t currently allow other pets to come into my home, but I am able to stop by your home, if needed to check on/feed the pets.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was young. From cats and dogs to ferrets and even chickens. I treat all animals with the same respect and responsibility and love. I also have experience taking care of others pets while they are out of town, from checking in every few hours to staying a whole week in their home with their little loved one. I am currently unemployed due to working through PTSD. I have complete availability from every day of the week to any hours. Holidays would not affect my availability. I can crate dogs. Give cats space. And focus on just simply doing my job if they don't want interaction. I can also bring a partner if you are concerned of your pet being too big for one person to care for. I can also bring my 20 pound friendly pup if yours would like a buddy during visits.
“Xianna is truly amazing. I am still surprised how well my grumpy boy took to her. I am so happy and feel very safe with her caring for my boys. I am one thousand percent booking her again”

Had a last minute day trip and needed care for my 2 kitties. She was available on short notice, responded quickly to messages, and was great with them. She sent lots of photos afterwards which I loved looking through! She was competent and followed instructions easily 👍 would definitely hire again!
Regina came recommended by our usual sitters and we couldn't have been more pleased. She was wonderful with our cats, sent lots of pictures and even a few videos while we were gone. She communicated with us very well throughout the entire experience. I would definitely use her again! She even left us a thank you note and a little treat. How sweet is that?!
Sydney was so wonderful, I would book her again in a heart beat! The cats loved her right away, they warmed up to her much faster than other sitters we have had. Sydney sent incredibly detailed updates and look such great care of our cats. I also swear our home was cleaner when we got home than it was when we left. Thanks for everything you did and for giving us so much peace of mind while we were traveling Sydney!
David! Thank you so much for all your help on taking care of my pets. David helped me at a very short notice, twice, back to back days. He was very respectful, kind, and followed all instructions. He was very sweet with my pets and sent me updates throughout the day. I’ll definitely be booking again
Alyssa was wonderful with my pets ! She took my dog on an evening walk, he was thrilled to have such a nice long one today. She also won one of my cats over quickly, the other one will come to love her soon, I am sure, she is just a little more standoffish.But Alyssa did try ! She was on time and professional, she asked all the right pet care questions for my upcoming visit with her, and I feel very comfortable trusting her with my sweet pets and my home.
Kat was awesome! She had to come to our house 2 times a day and she was dependable and always there when she needed to be there. She took pictures of our kitties and communicated at every visit and I loved that. I knew my cats were well taken care of. I would definitely use Kat in the future.
Thank you, Telyn for taking care of Meow. Your commitment to feeding her twice a day is much appreciated. Your text and photo updates were always welcome. When we returned home, the patio was clean and the extra food and bowls were on the patio table, just as planned. You even checked to make sure our house was locked. Should we ever need someone to take care of Meow, we will certainly consider you again.
