“Brooke was amazing with my cats, Whiskey and Magoo! She was super communicative, sent the cutest photos, and clearly took such great care of them. Whiskey’s usually reserved, but she actually came out for pets, which says a lot. Thanks Brooke!”
“Jackson was very communicative & so good with Elsa! Would definitely hire again!”
“Hayden really does have a special gift when it comes to cats! My cats LOVE him. It is the best feeling knowing that they are well taken care of when we are out of town. I can’t recommend Hayden & Meghan enough! THANK YOU!!!”
“Heather was great with our two kittens! Great updates and lots of care! The cats really warmed up to her, and she made our anxiety go away as we traveled for the first time without our cats. :)”
“Great sitter!”
“We’ve hired Helena to housesit for us and care for our three cats several times now, and she takes great care of them every time. She also leaves our house super clean and sends lots of pictures of our babies! We’ve already booked her for another stay, and it’s so nice to know they’re getting lots of love when we go out of town.”
“I have used Jiahui several times and will continue to use her for my 3 cats. She is super reliable and responsive and most important - the cats really like her. 2 of them have special diets and require supervision when they’re eating, which can be a handful. I really appreciate the comfort of knowing they are well taken care of when I travel. Highly recommend Jiahui!”
“Anna is always so great to work with. We really appreciate her responsiveness and care for our kitty; it’s a relief to know he’s well cared for while we are away.”
“Pierceson did a great job dropping in for my cat when I was gone for a couple of days. During each of her three visits she took cute photos of her interacting with my cat, and she stayed a bit longer than the 30 minutes I booked.”
“Rebekah was so attentive and caring to my two cats while I was out of town. I loved that she came to meet them and learn about their habits beforehand. She took lots of photos and reassured me that they were doing well everyday, which really gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend and will totally rebook in the future! 😊”
“We are so happy to have found Taylor for cat sitting. She is the best of three we have used. As soon as she came into the house our cat was drawn to her. Not many people get our cat's reaction like that. Taylor was prompt on every visit. Very thorough on her sitting requirements and very adept on her communications with us. If one is fortunate enough to have Taylor as their sitter, you will not be disappointed.”
“Rosemary is fantastic with my cat! She is on time, communicative, and always send me the best pictures. Rosie warmed up to her super fast too”
“Thank you for being willing to do this with such short notice! He will sleep great tonight!”
“Diana was great, and offered to stop by for a meet and greet even with short notice. She was great with my cat, who can be a bit feisty at times! I would strongly recommend!”
“Alex was a fantasist caretaker of our two cats! He made sure all their chores were done daily and gave them plenty of attention and treats. I would certainly hire Alex again!”
“Heidi was an amazing sitter for our cat, Bali! She constantly communicated during our entire week-long vacation and ensured that our complicated routine was followed perfectly. We received endless pictures of a very happy kitty and were even left with the sweetest handmade gift at the end of the stay. Once we returned home, our house was cleaner than we had left it and Bali was calm and cuddly - just the way we love him. Thank you so much, Heidi! Highly recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of friends and families dogs ever since I was a kid. I can talk dogs out for walks and tire them out with lots of play! I have taken care of small and big dogs and would love to meet your furry friend! I am in between jobs looking for some extra money so I can work with your schedule! I would prefer during the workday as that is when I have the most time but I can work with you! My cat hangs out with me all day in my apartment and I love to give her love and bother her throughout the day so she doesn’t get bored! I will be sure to give your pet the attention and playtime that they want!
“Elsa was awesome!! She was communicative and sent us updates every time she checked in on our kiddos. We would absolutely book her again on our next trip.”
“Nikki watched my three cats while I was away. She is very nice, great with animals, responsive, and reliable! I absolutely recommend and will definitely be reaching out to her again next time I leave town. Your pets will be in good hands with Nikki!!”

Alex was a fantasist caretaker of our two cats! He made sure all their chores were done daily and gave them plenty of attention and treats. I would certainly hire Alex again!
Heather has been amazing! So thorough, knowledgeable, and communicative! I’m leaving my cat for a week soon and I feel totally confident and stress free knowing he’s in her care! I would recommend Heather to anyone looking for quality care for their pet, she goes above and beyond!
Megan was a great cat sitter! I contacted her on short notice and she was super accommodating and kind! She was very communicative and took great care of our grumpy kitty while we were away!
Sarah and Ashleigh were fantastic. They sent photo updates during each visit and followed instructions to a tee. Thank you again!
There are not enough good things I can say about Maria. She is such a kind human and caring petsitter with the best, most detailed visit notes. One of our three cats is diabetic and needs twice daily insulin shots, there is no one else I would trust on Rover while we’re away from home!
amanda was amazing! she was great at communicating every day and seemed to put in extra work to make sure my shy kitty was comfortable and entertained. Will absolutely be booking her again and you should too!
Jess took such great care of my cat while we were out of town. She made sure she had plenty of food and water, and gave her lots of treats, pets, and love. Jess was super communicative and sent adorable update pictures every day. Will definitely be booking with her again!
Rosemary was really great! Our animals loved her, and she gave us detailed info at each visit and took photos of everyone so we could see how they were doing.
Carey is so great with cats - she always leaves detailed updates and photos from each visit and is very easy to communicate with.
Sarah was amazing! She is kind and easy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone and will be rebooking with her in the future.
Megan is wonderful and can always be counted on to provide quality care for my cat while I’m out of town. Knowing she’s checking in is a huge relief every trip I take! Thank you again, Megan!
Ginny is the best! My cat is always so happy to see her, and I love all the great pictures she sends of my cat in action! Thanks again!
Nikki watched my three cats while I was away. She is very nice, great with animals, responsive, and reliable! I absolutely recommend and will definitely be reaching out to her again next time I leave town. Your pets will be in good hands with Nikki!!
This is our second time booking with Kaia. Our kitty is shy and it takes him a few days to warm up to people he’s not used to. Kaia sent “proof of life” photos of him in his hiding places each day so that we knew he was okay. And right on schedule, he finally ventured out for pets on day 3. We’ve been happy with Kaia’s services and we will book with her again.
Suzanne is great! I've used her multiple times and always does a great job. My cat can be a little weird around new people but not Suzanne!
Brittany took great care of my dog and cat while I was out of town. I was given daily updates with photos and felt that my girls were in trusting hands. I will definitely book Brittany again.
Our cat was delighted by Hannah's attention and timeliness. She arrived at a consistent time to allow our cat to adjust to a new regularity. Hannah was dependable and communicated well with us. We hope to be able to use her again.
