“Erica took great care of our Koloa (cat) and made sure to send us updates and photos every day of their play and cuddle sessions. She offered to water our plants and we came home from vacation to a very happy pet!”
“Kimberly took great care of our two rabbits while we were travelling out of town for a trip. We really appreciated getting the updates and photos while we were away, so that we knew they were getting their regular check ins, since rabbits have special feeding requirements. Thanks, Kimberly!”
“Kate did a great job! I needed help last minute with my cat and she was ready and available to help. Met with her virtually via rover app, I felt comfortable with her right away. She gave very detailed check ins. Absolutely will use her again and recommend her to others.”
“Krystal was a great sitter. Our babies loved her visits even our feral cat Spook interacted with her. Getting the pictures every day help us put a concern to rest. we look forward to the next time we need to go out of town when Krystal can visit again.”
“Kimee is amazing. She is quick to respond and very accommodating. she followed our instructions for care to the "t" and even offered up some additional suggestions. I've already rebooked with her!!! Thanks Kimee ?”
“I can’t say enough good things about Jean-Paul. We have had a tough time finding a cat sitter capable of dealing with our grumpy cat, but Jean-Paul was not deterred and handled him without issue. He gave all feedings and administered medication with ease and took extra time to give both our cats some love and playtime. He paid special attention to the litter box and water dishes, as well as the state of our house while we were away, even checking on our plants and opening some windows to air out of he house when it was unseasonably warm. His updates were informative and humorous, and put our minds at ease while we were away. Any cats would be lucky to get to hang out with Jean-Paul while their owners are away!”
About: With over four years of experience as a dedicated pet sitter, I offer dependable and compassionate care for animals of all kinds. I’m confident in administering medications and providing personalized attention to meet each pet’s unique needs. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, because I know how important they are to you. As a cat owner myself, I understand the responsibility and care that pets require, and I’m committed to keeping them happy, healthy, and safe while you’re away. I am currently a college grad looking to provide care for your pet! I will incorporate your dog into my daily life and take them outdoors whether that be swimming or dog parks or just a walk. In my home, my dog has access to any room they want! I do live in a small studio apartment but would love to take them out for adventures.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for the past 3 years. I have experience with small and medium sized dogs. Over the 4th of July weekend, I was catsitting 2 Bengal cats who I love. I'm affectionate and detail oriented and I will make your pet feel like you never left! I'm currently a student so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I go to school Monday thru Friday so if you wanted to take a weekend trip, I got you covered easily! I am detail oriented so I follow the instructions I am given. If not, then I feed and water twice a day and bathroom breaks every day and night. Always respectful of the home and the pets and I clean up after them if they vomit or whatever happens. :)
About: I have grown up with pets all of my life! I am the designated family pet sitter. My sister recently got a husky puppy mix, he turns 1 in a few months. I now have better experience training puppies and following their schedules. My aunt has a 11 year old shih tzu I have given medication and special care for her. I am available all week, I just started a job so I am able to give all the love and care your pets need early mornings (5-6am) and evenings (6-10pm) I love to be outside, keeping carful watch of a happy pet whether that’s on a leash or in a fenced backyard. Safety and health is my top priority.
About: I have had dogs my whole life and have done pet and house sitting for other people's pets by myself for the last 4 years, 7 including when I was living with my parents and had a little bit of help. My family got a puppy three years ago, so I have recently experienced caring for and loving on those adorable troublemakers. Additionally, I have helped with treatment such as administering eye drops and medication to my dogs and those I have watched over, so I am able to navigate special care instructions as well. I love spending quality time with pets and going on walks, and I will make sure your house stays spotless as well :) I have experience watering plants as well. I am a full time student, so I will mostly be able to spend time at the house on nights and weekends (Friday-Sunday), but I also have breaks during my day where I can come check in and take pets for walks, feed them, or whatever else might need to be done. I will make sure your pet is fed on time, relieved often, and gets whatever walks, play times, and/or cuddles it might need. I am good at following instructions and able to help with any medications or special care. I will make sure the house is as clean (if not more) when I leave it as when I arrive. I can also water plants.
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boys Julie!! They were in great hands with you & we appreciate you dealing with our puppy’s nervous stomach like a pro. You’re the best!! Will definitely book again.”
“I was quite satisfied with the care Miah gave my kitty while we were away. Miah is VERY responsive and kept me up to date with each visit to care for my cat. I am pleased with the quality of service she gave me and would rebook should I have cat care needs in the future.”
“Olivia was amazing! I highly recommend Olivia and will be booking again. My two cats were so well taken care of while I was gone. She followed all my instructions and I came home to happy and relaxed cats. Even my grumpy old cat hung out and accepted pets from her.”
