“Katie was extremely thorough and timely in her check-ins on our cat, Grits. Every update was thoughtful and reassuring and we came home to a happy cat. Really appreciated that he got some playtime and attention while we were away and made it so much easier for us to have a relaxing first family vacation! Thanks again, Katie!”

“I was hesitant about using Rover for my pet, however Lisbeth took such great care of my cat while I was away. She followed all directions, was in constant communication and sent multiple photos as well. She ease all my anxiety, 10/10 would recommend and use her again.”

“Sam did a great job with our two cats. One was rather timid and he worked with her over the booking to get her from only eating on the stairs, to eating in the kitchen where she normally eats. We appreciated his patience with the cats and his willingness to play with them every day as they are very curious and energetic!”

“We had booked Alexa for 9 days and then had our plans change suddenly and she was so understanding and accommodating. She ended up coming 3 visits a day for 3 days and was always on time and spent her visits playing with Pepper. We received our photos and updates each visit and can’t believe Pepper actually played in the yard!!! With us she isn’t much of a toy lover which says a lot! When we arrived home we can tell Pepper was on good hands! She is currently lying on the couch and completely content! We hope to book with Alexa again in the future!”

“Melissa was amazing with our 2 cats! They warmed up to her so quickly and she snapped some great photos of them too really capturing their personalities. Great communication and gave us such peace of mind while we were away from our girls for the week. Thank you again Melissa!”

“She took very good care of my dogs, bashful as the one is. Took nice pictures, did everything we agreed upon, Roomba was happy to have a new friend, and Susie was happy in her own way.”

“Kathryn was eager to meet my boys prior to our trip. This puts everyone at ease. It’s something I look for when choosing a new pet care provider. Kathryn followed all my instructions and was communicative all during our trip. My boys were happy and content when we got home.”

About: I have 10 years of experience in dog care, dog rescue, and animal shelters. I am fear free certified, dedicated to practicing positive reinforcement and force free protocols. I ran a petsitting business until last year when I adopted my own dogs. I specialize in dogs with reactivity, newly adopted dogs, fearful dogs, and dogs with separation anxiety. I am dedicated to continuing my education on dog behavior through seminars and webinars. I am recently out of corporate America and am looking to spend more time with dogs in my area. I am open to walking dogs and drop in visits for pets any time of day! I care for pets in their home and environment, where they are already the most comfortable. I am dedicated to safety, comfort and keeping everyone as happy as possible!
“To be honest, we were a little afraid to leave our two kitties in the hands of a stranger when we considered Rover. But we were so lucky to have Suzanne as our catsitter. She's absolutely wonderful! Coming back from our holidays we found our kitties happier than ever! Thanks Suzanne!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every dog I care for. I have an older dog of my own, so I understand the importance of attention, comfort, and consistency, especially for pups who need a little extra care. I treat every dog as if they were my own, with plenty of love, walks, and care tailored to their needs. I work a full time job so I am available between 6-10 pm on weekdays and anytime on the weekends. I was a student athlete in college and know how to responsibly balance my schedule. I have a pet friendly space where your dog can relax, walk around, and eat or drink. Easy accessibility for potty breaks and fresh air.
“I am very fortunate to have found Yang to take care of my girls for a week. Yang was extremely kind, trustworthy, communicative, caring, responsible, prepared, thoughtful and generous. In our meet and greet she brought a notebook, connected with my cats and asked great questions before leaving. She offered to bring her own brush to groom my one cat, wore shoe covers to keep my place clean and even brought her own litter bags to take away each day. The level of detail and attention she provided throughout the whole experience was something I have never experienced from a pet sitter and the genuine bond she formed with my cats made me exceedingly assured, content and happy knowing they had her presence and care while I was away. I can’t recommend Yang enough and will pick her as my sitter going forward.”

“Nicole is an angel! There’s very few people I’d trust with my cats and Nicole is definitely one of them . She sends daily pictures and updates ,Followed through with directions and had fantastic attention to detail. 10/10 !!!”

Lara is the best! She truly cares about my cat Millie’s wellbeing, comfort, and happiness while I’m away. I always receive the cutest videos and detailed updates during each visit, which gives me so much peace of mind. Lara is reliable, timely, and goes the extra mile to make sure Millie feels loved and cared for. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!

We had a great experience with Melinda caring for our cat Ramen during our vacation. She communicated clearly and consistently, followed all instructions carefully, and kept our home clean and tidy. She provided wonderful company for our cat, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely book her again.

Grace took great care of our cat while we were on vacstion. She was very diligent and conscientious, always right on time, floowing directions and giving our cat the attention she needs. Grace seems to have a way with animals because our cat warmed up to her immediately. Highly recommend.

We are so glad to have found Kimberly. She went over and beyond watching our fur baby, Booda. She updated us daily on him and sent pictures. She took great care of him as if he were her own. 100% recommend and would absolutely have her watch our fur baby again.
