“Hannah was great with with our 8 year old huge Siberian Husky! She took a bunch of pictures and provided a very detailed summary. We will continue to use her for our pet sitting needs!”

About: I have cared for animals ever since I can remember. I am a huge animal lover so I had/have a lot of different pets: Cats, dogs, a ferret, hamsters, lizards, and fish! I am going into junior year for college as a double major in Biology and Animal Ecology. I was involved in an animal training class for two semester where I helped/observed dog training. I was a Kennel Attendant for 3 months at an Animal Hospital, have interned there for 2 Summers, and am working as a veterinary assistant this Summer! I am working part time as a Veterinary Assistant Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I am volunteering at a Parrot pet store in the mornings on Wednesdays and Fridays. I’m available after 12 pm on Wednesdays and Fridays along with anytime on most Saturdays and Sundays! I am available for feeding, walking, and giving your pet lots of attention (if they seem ok with it)! And I will make sure to fulfill all of your pets needs.
“Emily was an absolute doll. She came through on a snowy holiday weekend and went above and beyond with our shy little Toasty girl. Emily was super communicative before, during, and after the drop-in visit. We could tell from the photos that Toast had a blast with her new friend!”

“Wendy is wonderful! When I forgot to give my other pet sitter a key to the front door’s bottom lock, she was a huge help in making sure the issue got sorted. Even though I told her she could leave after feeding and scooping litter for my very shy cat, Wendy would still stay and listen to music for the full half-hour visit so Tawny wouldn’t feel as alone. So professional and so nice! Highly recommend her.”

“Gabrielle is incredible! She takes great care of our 10 year old lab, leaves details notes and is great with communication. She is definitely our go to dog sitter!”

“Cathy started caring for our black lab, Wendy, last week. She responded so quickly to my messages and was able to do a meet and greet within days of my first message to her! Our dog loves Cathy and it’s been going really well when Cathy comes to let her out at lunchtime. I would definitely recommend Cathy to care for your pet! She has a lab of her own and a lot of experience.”

“Scott was absolutely fantastic checking in on our 2 cats. He was extremely patient and ensured the more anxious of our 2 cats was okay and eating / drinking while we were gone. Thank you Scott!”

“Christina is very kind and attentive to my dog Nugget. She did a great job when dropping at my house to let my dog out and feed her. She is reliable and provides great feedback of her visits. Nugget loves her.”

“Karina was everything I was looking for. My dog has a lot of special needs due to high anxiety and a rough background. Karina was so accommodating to all her little quirks with giving her space, giving her her medication, and cleaning up her pee pads. Her communication was excellent, and she even washed the forks and cutting board that were used for the medication. I really couldn't have asked for anything more. She was great, and I'd certainly use her again.”

“Luciana was fantastic! She came by on short notice to get acquainted with my two cats and my home before I had to leave unexpectedly for an emergency trip. Throughout my time away, she kept me updated on how my pets were doing and regularly sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Overall, I’m extremely happy with her care and professionalism, and I highly recommend her services.”

About: Hi there! ☺️ With over 10 years of experience caring for animals - both in-home and at professional facilities - I’ve pretty much seen it all (and loved every second of it)! I currently work at a luxury pet resort, where I’m lucky enough to pamper pups (and their human parents), and keep all kinds of furry friends happy and healthy. 🐾 I’ve also worked at a horse stable and have hands-on experience with senior dogs, cats, birds and even fish. I grew up with a lovable Maltese and stray cat, so I know just how important it is to treat every pet like family. Whether your fur baby needs cuddles, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I’ve got things covered! 🐶🐠🐱🐴🐢 I work full-time at a luxury pet resort, but I’m available for pet care during early mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule to accommodate whatever you and your furry-friend's needs are! ☺️ My biggest priority is to make both you and your fur baby feel safe and well-cared for. This includes fostering an environment around your pet that is happy, calm and full of fun! With my many years of experience, you can always count on me to advocate for you and your pet's greatest needs!
“We were out for a few days, and Kayla stopped by three times to take care of our dog. She attended to all our requests and more, very friendly and easy to work with. She kept us updated throughout the process. I highly recommend Kayla to all my friends who need a pet sitter or just drop-ins.”


“Nicole did an incredible job! We were gone for two weeks in Italy and she gave us peace of mind that our two kitties were in great hands. She was attentive and communicative. We came home to two happy cats :) If you want to have someone of good character watch your precious little ones, Nicole should be your choice!”

About: I am a person that loves all animals. Some pet parents will leave a small list of the schedule I need to follow. Whenever I come to hang with the cuties I’m always snapping pics and sending them to the pet parents. Just so everyone knows they are in good hands. Whatever it is that y’all need me to do I make sure to get the job done. Sometimes when I babysit if the parents need me to let the dogs out and feed them then I do it. So cats/dogs will get fed and taken out, we will play ball and have a load of fun. I promise I don’t bite and am very easy to talk to. If anyone ever has any questions feel free to ask!
“Nicole is a kind and lovely person. She was able to come early in the morning as requested. She was a thorough communicator and she even cleaned up a couple of messes! She was meeting my cats for the first time and tried hard to connect. I will definitely use her services again.”

Karina is an amazing person. She made a point of visiting my cat beforehand, who is blind, to understand his needs. On our first meeting, my cat felt comfortable and rested his head on her, asking for affection… people's energy doesn't lie. Karina followed all the instructions and sent me photos and videos every day. If you are looking for someone trustworthy and loving, Karina needs to be your choice. I will definitely hire her again!

Alexandra did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure they were well cared for throughout our trip. We appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were in good hands. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and everything exactly as we left it. We would gladly book with Alexandra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. 🐾 Thank you, Alexandra! 😊

I honestly don’t know what I would do without Emily! I needed her last minute and she was available to care for my fur son. Thanks to her I can enjoy time with my friends knowing he is well taken care of and loved. He always looks forward to seeing her outside of his regular schedule. She’s absolutely the best.

Sarah was wonderful with all of my pets. She had her hands full and handled it like a Champ! I was very comfortable with Sarah and would recommend her highly! She is amazing and I couldn’t be more appreciative! She gets 100 stars in my book! Very atttentive and loving! Thank you for taking care of all 6 of the animals while we were gone! Well worth it!
Stacy has a phenomenal gift with animals! They love her instantly. She is punctual. Follows your care plan for your pet. Is trustworthy in your home and communicates well. Part of her communication, is an incredible ability to photograph animals, which she shares freely with you while you are away. I had never heard of Rover, Stacy was my first contact. I will be using her again and again.
