“Emily was very friendly and easy to work with, and she took great care of our kitty while we were away for a week. She sent us reassuring and helpful updates, and we came home to a happy cat and a clean “cat room” as well. We’ve already rebooked for our next trip, and would definitely recommend her.”


“Xiuqi was excellent. Oreo is shy and doesn’t warm up to strangers. Recently we had a trip planned and our regular sitter was unavailable. This was cause for concern as Oreo has never had another sitter. We met with Xiuqi and thought she would be a good fit. Well over 6 days Oreo fell in love. We probably have a new sitter. We received updates and pictures and videos. Very reassuring.”


“Sandra was absolutely wonderful with my cat Jesse. She gave us regular updates and went above and beyond to accommodate our shy girl. Highly recommend Sandra to any pet parents!!”


About: I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and attention to their unique needs. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m usually home during the hours when many owners are away at work or busy, so I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship . Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I truly enjoy spending that time caring for animals. In my home, pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I provide fresh water, daily playtime, and outdoor breaks as needed. I keep their schedule consistent with what they’re used to—whether it’s feeding, walks, or quiet rest—so they feel secure and happy. Most importantly, I give them plenty of love and attention, making sure they feel like part of the family during their stay.”

“Chalise took amazing care of my two cats over the weekend. Made sure everything was all set and they were happy. Very great experience for my first time using rover. Mack and Lionel look forward to the next visit!”


“Yongxin was very good at watching our cat for 5 days. Because our cat is elderly, there required meds to be administered. We had printed instructions which were very well executed. The communication was also very efficient. She replied in a timely manner. I also liked seeing the daily pictures of the well being of our cat. Yongxin is very professional and efficient, yet caring with good instincts. I would call on her again!”

“Dakota checked in our cat while we were out of town for 3 days and he took great care of her. He is obviously very good with cats as even our very shy and timid cat was happy to be petted and play with him. Dakota really put my mind at ease while we were away and sent really helpful updates.”


“Ping was great with RB. She’s very kind and gentle. Her pup Cherry is also very sweet and well behaved. I think it’s a bonus for RB to have canine company. Ping sent photos, was able to accommodate last minute request and very responsive. Thanks Ping and Cherry!”


“Stephanie is fantastic! 🐶💕 I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch over Domino. Stephanie has such a kind heart and went above and beyond each check in making sure Domino got lots of love and attention. She also sent amazing updates with pictures and details about their time together. Having Stephanie looking over Domino gave me such a big peace of mind that allowed me to enjoy my vacation worry free! 10/10 recommend Stephanie 🐾💌”


“Hailey was very communicative and friendly. She was very comfortable with our cats, which made us confident in leaving them in her care. She's professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”


About: I’ve been caring for animals most of my life and truly understand how much pets mean to their families. As a dedicated dog mom to two small dogs, I know firsthand the importance of providing attentive, loving care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every dog as if they’re my own. I have flexibility in my schedule as a remote worker and can provide a schedule that best suits your family and pets. I am free most majority of the holidays. I ensure that the environment is safe and comfortable for your pet. I will make sure that only appropriate toys are available for them and stick to your meal plan and times.

About: I am a huge dog lover and have experience taking care of puppies up to older dogs. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, loved, and at home even when their owners are away. I’m currently not working so I am free every day. Your dog would have all my attention. I am available any day of the week. I enjoy going on a lot of walks and am very active myself. I would be taking your dog out to the park or walks regularly!

About: Hi! I'm Maddy, a lifelong animal lover and pet parent to-be, with an extra special place in my heart for, and great comfort level with both dogs and cats. Whether you're out of town or just need someone to drop by and give an extra hand, I’m here to give your pet the care and attention they're used to. I’ll stick to their routine, follow your instructions closely, and make sure they feel comfy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I also love sending photo updates, so you can have extra reassurance your pet is in good hands (and also so you get your daily dose of their cuteness to hold you over until you're back together). I'd be happy to arrange an in-person or virtual meet or greet, so you can feel confident that we're a good match! Reach out any time :) I'm currently in graduate school and working from home - so I welcome the chance to meet and spend time with your pets - whether that's going for a walk or checking in on them in their cozy homes. All that to say, my schedule is very flexible the majority of the time! When I care for pets in their own home, I stick to the owner’s instructions to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I can offer feeding, playtime, walks, and any special care needed. I also treat your space with respect and make sure to leave everything just as you left it.

About: I have had a large Golden Doodle (80lbs) for four years, so I am pretty comfortable taking care of larger dogs. At the same time, I am great with smaller dogs as well.

I have no problem coming to your home and taking care of your dog(s). I am able to take them on walks, just to check on them, etc. Please reach out with what you would like, and we can work from there.

“Amberlee is a wonderful pet sitter! I was originally worried about leaving my senior kitty who is in declining health, but as soon as I met Amberlee in person I knew my kitty would be in well cared for - and he was! My kitty really bonded with her, and I appreciated receiving her detailed updates & photos after each visit. Amberlee has a real gift when it comes to caring for pets, and plus she is simply a really nice person!”


About: I have taken care of many of my friends pets when they have gone on vacation. I also have a 3 y.o. Shiba Inu named Yoshi who I have raised and trained since he was a puppy. I am an actress so pet walking and sitting is a great way to keep busy while auditioning. I am capable of long walks as my dog likes an hour in the am and an hour in the pm. I am very detail oriented and will only walk one dog at a time to ensure they have my attention. I also am well versed in simple training for dogs as I have been in both group and private training classes for my dog.
