“An amazing pet expert! Catherine's attention to my furry body behaviour, your ability to gauge the situation and care for animals is 2nd to none. Highly recommend”

“Michelle was great with our 10 week old puppy. It was our first outing since getting our puppy and Michelle took great care of her. She went out of her way to keep us informed during her visit so that we would be at ease. I would recommend her to anyone looks for a caring and responsible dog sitter!!”

About: I absolutely love animals!! I had a Schnauzer named Loki but he ran away. I decided I wouldn’t have another puppy, but I’ve been having a blast watching other people’s dogs. It’s kind of like a fun uncle type of situation I’ve been thriving on lately. I have tons of experience watching and handling animals. Since my youth, I’ve been in love with nature. I even became an Eagle Scout! I’m passionate about animals and all life in general. I even thought about becoming a vegan, but that’s another topic of discussion… I’m attending in-person classes at University on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10AM to 3PM. Also, I teach Yoga at POSE Studios on Mondays at 5:30PM. There’s still tons of availability though because my days start early. I’m available: Mon. 6AM to 4:00 / 6:30PM to 10PM Tues. 6AM to 9AM / 3:30PM to 10PM Wedn.. 6AM to 10PM Thurs. 6AM to 9AM / 3:30PM to 10PM Fri. 6AM to 10PM Sat. 6AM to 10PM I am very communicative and attentive, so you can expect multiple text messages with updates on how your puppy is doing. Expect mini photo shoots!
“Julia did an amazing job with watching and taking care of my cat! Plenty of photos were always provided and I knew he was in good hands! I definitely recommend her and will be my first choice in the future for a cat sitter.”


About: Hi! I’m Giulia, an Italian au pair currently living in New York. I’ve always loved animals and have several years of experience taking care of both dogs and cats for friends, neighbors, and family members. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets — whether that means long walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company and making them feel safe. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always make sure owners feel updated and reassured while they’re away. I’m comfortable with different dog sizes and personalities, and I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine and needs. I’d love to meet your furry friend! 🐾 i’m an aupair taking care of 3 kids. I’m available in the morning from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30p.m. I’m flexible about the days, i can also provide pet care on the weekends! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, clean spaces, and lots of attention and affection. I’m very respectful of both the pets and the home, and I always keep everything clean and organized. I also love sending updates and photos so owners can feel relaxed while they’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, brushing, cuddles, and giving pets companionship and care throughout the visit 🐾
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for about eight years and have had four of my own — a German Shepherd, a Boxer, a Havanese, and a Maltese-Yorkie mix. I’ve also helped care for my neighbors’, friends’, and family’s dogs when they needed it. I’m comfortable with both big and small breeds and love making sure each dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owner is away. I’m currently attending college, so my schedule is flexible around my classes. I’m available all day Monday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, after 5 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and after 11 AM on Fridays. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship I don’t offer pet sitting at my home as well as dog walking because I already have two dogs and three cats and don’t want to put any animals in a hectic environment. However, I’m happy to come to your home to care for your dogs or cats. I make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment, following all instructions you provide.

About: I have had 3 dogs across my lifetime from puppies to seniors. I have also taken care of 4 outdoor cats for six years now. I have pet sat for family friends including drop ins and overnights, and I would love to do that for your pets as well. I’m home from college and I am back for the summer. My schedule is very flexible and I will always be able to make something work if needed. I am here to help. Aside from the basics of feeding, walking, and potty breaks, I make sure they have a fun and relaxing environment. I am an active person who loves to go for runs as well as chill at night, so I am very good at molding to dogs personalities. I will tailor to every dogs needs.
“Jordan was very professional and took very good care of our timid, difficult cat. We felt very comfortable leaving her in Jordan’s care. Jordan went above our expectations.”

“Kimberly did an amazing job with our cat. In the past he has been shy around new people but he seemed to take to Kimberly immediately, the pictures shared made it look like he was treating her the same why he interacts with us, curling up next to her and requesting to be petted. We appreciated the constant communication on how he was doing giving us peace of mind and letting us enjoy our trip rather than spend it worrying about the cat.”


About: I’ve previously worked for another pet service where I took dogs on walks and did drop-in visits. I also have some experience with cats, but I have a 5-year old dog myself. I have experience taking care of elderly dogs as I dog sat for a family friend for a few months and stayed the night at their house once a week. I would take the dog for walks, spend time with him and give him any medication he needed. I love animals and it doesn’t feel like work to take care of them for me. I am a teacher, so I am free during school breaks and on weekends. When I am not working full-time at school, pet care will be my first priority. I will listen to any requests made by the pet owner for what they want me to do, such as letting them out in a fenced backyard or keeping them on a leash. I also have experience crate training my dog and find that can be a safe place for dogs too.

“We had a short notice need for a sitter for “the girls”, Peaches & Reagan, and Emma and Trent responded promptly and were able to accommodate our schedule. It is so nice being able to count on someone and have “the girls” get so excited when they see them. Reagan for the extra attention and Peaches for an opportunity to get treats. LOL Dont hesitate if you need someone to watch your fur babies. They will be safe and and well taken care of. Thanks again Emma & Trent!”

“Melissa was amazing with our Stella! This was our first time using rover and Melissa made us feel comfortable and secure that Stella was in great hands! We will definitely be using Melissa again and can’t recommend her enough! :)”

Sydney is wonderful with my pups. My little girl pup is a loving, easy going baby but our boy had a rough start in life. He was neglected and abused so he gets a bit nervous with new people. Sydney really read him well and understood him right away. He warmed up to her very quickly because she gives him the time and space he needs to be able to trust. Having someone in our home when we aren’t was another big deal for us and Sydney really is just so trustworthy and respectful. We are so grateful that she comes and loves our pups when we are at work! I highly recommend reaching out to her if you’re looking for a reliable, responsible and trustworthy person to look after your pets!

D’Andre was a big help, came through last minute for me to take care of Rex while I was away for a trip. He was very nice to Rex, attentive and even took care of doggy spill Rex had. Super communicative during the visit and I’m glad I hired him and will hire him more in the future.
