“I’m always freaked out when I have to go out of town and leave my Winnie behind. But Emily is awesome with my skittish little cat and the pictures show me that Winnie is doing really well- eating, drinking water, enjoying getting brushed! I’m truly grateful to Emily for loving my baby girl so well!”
“Heather was great! I booked her for 30 min visits with our 2 cats while we were away for 8 days. The cats are VERY shy and hesitant with strangers- even relatives who have visited multiple times rarely get to see them. Other Rover sitters that I booked for 30 min just saw the cats hiding under the couch as always and left after 10 min. Heather always stayed the FULL TIME and toward the end of the booking she even captured photos of the cats out from under the couch and even approaching her hand :D The apartment was also left clean, the box scooped, and the food bowl full. Thanks Heather!”
“Kelsey Lynne was great with my cat Ollie! He can be shy with new people at first, but she very quickly made friends with him. She also wrote detailed reports on each visit, which I really appreciated. I definitely recommend her!”
“Beth did amazing with our highly needy and extremely anxious Cat. She spent time with him and was very patient to work with him in a way where he felt safe and comfortable with a new human in his space. We are very thankful for her and her patience and quality care for our one of a kind, pet! We highly recommend her and cannot thank her enough!”
About: My pets have always been my children! I’ve had my own pets for 25 years as well as family pets growing up. I also enjoy light puppy/dog training. My schedule is very flexible as I am an entrepreneur. I may also be able to accommodate rush requests so please feel free to reach out! I’m available to feed, provide medication, walk your pet, or let them out to the yard for play and potty break. Your pet will always be leashed while outside of your home/ fenced yard.
“Katie took great care of our two kittens! They warmed right up to her! She sent great update pictures and was very timely. I was very grateful for her help last minute.”
“Arem is great, he took care of my dog every Tuesday, and Thurs. Arem is quick to respond to messages, is a nice nice person. He was very kind to my dog, and always on time. Don’t hesitate to use him.”
“April was absolutely the best cat sitter I could have asked for. She was FABULOUS with our 2 cats. She went above and beyond in every category from playing with them to engaging with our pet buttons, and taking our boi outside for a backyard kitty walk. More importantly, when we were concerned that Fynn was sick, she rushed him to the 24hr emergency vet and waited until we were sure he was OK (it turned out to be cat asthma). She was super diligent with giving him his meds and monitoring his breathing and coughing. I can't wait to use her again. My husband and I are SO GRATEFUL that we found her. I can't imagine using anyone but her in the future. April was a live-in sitter for 1 week over the Christmas holiday. She was respectful of our home and I know she cherishes our fur babies. Thank you so much, April ❤️❤️❤️”
“Baylie took such great care of my sweet boy and was able to accommodate us on short notice. She sent tons of cute pictures, left detailed notes for each visit, and went the extra mile to make sure Guillermo was comfortable and happy. I will absolutely be reaching out for future bookings. Thanks Baylie!”
“I highly recommend Andrew for any pet sitting needs! He checked in on my cat and provided timely updates & great photos! Very responsive & communicative too!!”
“I'm so thankful to Ava for watching and attending to our Maine Coon. She's extremely dependable and trustworthy. Knowing that our Niki is in good hands while we're on travel is invaluable.”
About: I love animals and have hands-on experience walking, feeding, and caring for dogs. I’m dependable, gentle, and treat every pup like my very own ! I’m currently a student, and on the days I don’t have classes—Tuesday’s, Thursday’s ,and Sundays—I have full flexibility to spend quality time with your pup. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or giving them some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help on the days I’m class-free. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority! As a dedicated pet caregiver, I prioritize both safety and comfort while caring for your pets in their home. I ensure the environment is safe by keeping hazardous items out of reach and securing gates or doors to prevent escapes. I stick to your pet’s routine, providing regular meals, walks, playtime, and companionship to maintain a sense of normalcy. Whether it’s administering medication, offering extra love, or just being there for your pet, I strive to create a calm and secure atmosphere. I also keep you updated with regular check-ins, photos, and messages to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.

“Madison was able to watch my cat Frankie on short notice and the week of a holiday! She followed all my instructions and went above and beyond to care for him. She kept me updated with consistent communication and pictures, as well. I will be booking with Madison again :)”
About: I love pets of all kinds and have been around and helped to care for my friends dogs my whole life. It would be a pleasure to meet your puppy! I have free time since I am home from college for the summer and am looking for something fun to keep myself busy. I have plenty of time during the week to care for animals. I believe that it is important to provide basic needs as well as keeping pats company when their families are away. All animals need social interaction to live happy lives!

Angela G.
“I’ve known Angie for over 20 years. Her kindness and compassion reaches far beyond her friends and family. Being an animal over is one of her endearing qualities. Her approach to the human-animal connection is best described as responsible, dedicated and empathetic. Angie has always taken great care to integrate her animals in to her daily life in a way that clearly shows the priority she places on their well-being. She is familiar with training techniques which she employs with a gentle and patient approach that is refreshing. I would, with 100% certainty, trust my animals in her care and undoubtedly recommend her to others.”
