“Maureen took care of our elder cat babies while we were away for the holiday. She walked us through the entire process and was very knowledgeable. We had never used this type of service before, but it was necessary due to daily meds. Maureen was easy to get ahold of and we felt our quirky cat babies were in good hands.”
“I really appreciated Lauren's care for our cat Mimi while we were away. I felt at ease knowing that she was in good hands in our absence. Leaving your pet can be nerve-wracking, but Lauren made sure to keep me updated on how Mimi was doing and made sure to give her adequate playtime during visits. I highly recommend.”
“Julia was a great help while I was away. She responded quickly and provided great care to my cat. Her update left me feeling relieved that my cat was well taken care of. Would highly recommend!”
“Jess is GREAT! She very quickly gained the trust of our senior and special needs dog. He is comfortable with her and benefits from her visits every week! She is punctual, trustworthy, sends updates, flexible schedule, communicates clearly and quickly, and we feel she truly loves our dog. It is very difficult to find someone who would care for your pet as you would and we are so grateful for Jess!”
“Jesika is WONDERFUL! We were able to enjoy time away knowing our dog, Penny, was in such capable hands. Jesika is an outstanding communicator, she goes above and beyond, and Penny absolutely adored her! Thank you Jesika!”
“Lindsay took amazing care of our cats while we were away for a long weekend! This was our first experience using Rover, and Lindsay was thoughtful and communicative throughout the entire process. We loved the photo updates and reports that she left each day. When one of the cats had stomach issues, she was quick to let us know and respond to feeding instruction changes. We will absolutely book her again! Thank you, Lindsay :)”
“Meagan was fantastic with my kittens! Lots of pictures (she could be a professional animal photographer, some of them are so good) and lots of updates. She was also very flexible with my schedule.”
“In record time, Marna won over our socially hesitant older dog, and took excellent care of him. From meeting one, he seemed to sense her calming presence and responded to her positively. Usually, he'll bark and hide from someone new. It was great to see! Thank you, Marna!”
“Destiny was very good at communicating with us while we were away. The cats enjoyed her company and appreciated her taking time to play with them. We will definitely be using her again when we are out of town.”
“Barbara was a fantastic friend to our cat while we were away! She was communicative, thoughtful, & sweet, and I really appreciated the daily updates she sent. I will gladly book her again.”
About: Hi, I’m Katie! I’ve owned and pet-sitted both dogs and cats all my life. I currently have one kitty named Joni at home, but have lots of past experience with pups. I’ve cared for pets who take meds and tend to be on the anxious side. I’m excited to spend time with your best friend(s)! I work full-time, but have a fairly flexible schedule and can accommodate working from home and breaks to check in on your pet. I’m generally free on evenings and weekends, as well. I’ll follow your lead to make our time together the most safe and comfortable experience possible for your pet. Feel free to set up a meet-and-greet beforehand to go over any special instructions.
About: I have always loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid! I have been around dogs since I was little and I live with a cat now! I would adore taking your furry friend for a walk or checking up on your cat when you are away. I am currently trying to fit dog walking into my schedule in the mornings before my job starts (STARTING IN MAY). I can also check up on your furry friend in the evening. I am also building my online business so days I am not at my other job are more flexible! I am very good at directions and pay attention to details. I will follow the directions left by the owners when doing a check in! I listen to the pet, and if they are not so sure of me, I let them come to me (especially with cats!) And of course there will be lots of pets!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and have been helping to care for them (walking, feeding, etc.) since I was around 10 years old. I’ve pet sit for many family friends throughout the years - dogs and cats alike. Recently I even housesat for 4 dogs and 2 cats all at the same time! My family dogs both recently passed away and I’ve been looking for something to fill the whole in my heart. Would love to take care of your pets! I am a freelance writer, musician, and retail associate, so I’m able to make my own schedule a lot of the time. I’m free during the day Monday-Thursday to walk your pooch or for drop-in visits, and I’m available after work on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (I typically get off around 3-5 pm). I can walk, feed, or house sit for your dogs or cats. Also just love spending time with them in general! Whatever you need, I’m here to help.
“Katey is an all star! Even when a health complication for our cat occurred right before we left for vacation she was able to help us handle it. We returned to 2 happy kitties.”
About: Animal lover with flexible schedule, calm and patient energy. I'm very active so available for long walks or runs! Always attentive to details and specifics for each pet in my care. I'm a full-time creative (painter and graphic designer), so I enjoy setting my own schedule and can easily accommodate to your pet's needs during various times of day. I can work remotely and this allows me to be available more often. I am comfortable learning each pet's needs in their home environments, and adjusting to what makes them feel most comfortable. Happy to come to you so that your pet can experience their typical daily routines.
“Justine watched our two cats while we were away for Thanksgiving. She was very responsive and updated us with pictures and a note after each visit. We really appreciated her flexibility and attentiveness over the holiday!”
“Alex is the best! Very considerate and respectful, replies fast and sends pictures. So sweet towards my dog. Definitely recommend!!! Will rebook in a heartbeat! Kept my nerves at bay while I was away :)”

Angela was such a great catsitter, we would highly recommended her to anyone. She had thoughtful questions prior to the sit, and was clearly caring with our meows. You can always tell by the cats energy after returning home... our cats were so happy, we know they were in good care. Angela's messages and photos were super detailed and full of kindness. We hope to have her back : )
My two dogs had a wonderful experience with Avital! She was very kind and patient with my small dog who is very shy around all of three people in his life. By the end of the 4 days we had hired Avital for, our shy boy adored her! 100% recommend her for any of your pet needs! We look forward to working with Avital for all of our future pet-sitter needs! She is wonderful, patient, and kind; everything you hope the person you’re entrusting your fur babies to be!
Priscilla is amazing! She took such good care of my two cats that even my shy kitty opened up and initiated playtime. Her updates are thorough and include lots of photos, she’s friendly and communicative over chat, and she executes the care plan to a T. It was wonderful to know my kitties were in such excellent hands while I was away and to not need to worry about them. Will definitely be booking with Priscilla again!
Muriel was very sweet with the pets and communicated really well. When a storm threatened our flight, she stayed in touch and worked around her schedule to be able to bridge the gap so that care continued until we got home. I would definitely recommend her anytime.
