“Macy is AMAZING!! That is not an exaggeration either, I am forever grateful for her and the time she spent with my babies. She was attentive and asked questions, she really knows what she is doing when it comes to taking care of cats and I love that she is experienced even with shy ones. Thank you so much for your help and time, I will definitely be sure to keep you around.”
“Brad was awesome! Came and checked on our kitties every day we were gone and did exactly what I asked of him. Super communicative and sent lots of photos. Would definitely book with him again.”
“Amanda was an incredible sitter for our cats. We had a few specific dietary instructions, and each cat received exactly what they needed. She even went out of her way to bring in some packages that we had delivered! I would absolutely have Amanda check in on our pets another time.”
“I just moved to Ohio and had to already leave for a week, Joy was able to respond super quickly to me and meet my animals a day after I messaged her. She was very great all week, sending me updates and pictures. Definitely will use her again when I have to leave for trips!”
“Megan has taken care of our cats for years and we have always been thrilled with the level of professionalism and love she demonstrates. We have a multitude of cats and she treats them like her own. We highly recommend Megan!”
“Leesa was reliably on time for her visits. She also spent a little extra time with my kitty, Neva, during our booking. She spent time playing and sitting outside with Neva as well. I would absolutely book Leesa again!”

“Jenny was great with my boys especially the vary shy and wary Yoda who started demanding pets. I really appreciate that they were taken care of and given attention they were probably demanding including my pitiful regular strays! I will definitely request her services, again!”
“Once again, I would highly recommend Isabel! I especially appreciated her extra communication and help when my fish tank started leaking. She helped me figure out that it was a slow leak so I didn't have to be worried during the rest of my trip. Thank you, Isabel!”
About: I have cared for many dogs over the last 15 years. I am able to care for puppies to senior dogs and have experience giving medications, if needed. I am home all day and looking to fill the void of missing my pup who passed recently. I am able to care for your dog hands-on and will give lots of love and interaction. I have a completely fenced yard that your dog will have unlimited access to. I also provide at least one long walk every day, if your pup likes to get out and enjoy nature.
“Miranda took great care of my cat Mia. She made sure she was stocked with food and water and provided some much-needed attention while we were away.”
“Abby is one of a kind! Our usual sitter was unavailable due to the holiday and we had to find someone last minute (I may have procrastinated a bit). Abby was more than willing to do so and was amazing at it! On time, great care of all pets and even filled out humidifier when it was running low! We will definitely recommend and be using Abby again!”
About: My name is Anna, and I'm an avid animal lover. I grew up with pets my entire childhood, and I now have my own cats and a dog! I've walked, fed, and done daily pet check-ins for neighbors and friends. I have worked with many different dogs, cats, and fish. I work a 9 - 5 on weekdays, so I can check on or walk your pet in the mornings or evenings. I’m pretty flexible on weekends! I make pet care my #1 priority! I'm used to waking up early, cleaning up vomit, and the occasional scratch or bite. I also love spoiling all pets with special treats, enrichment games, and lots of play-time. I only want the best for you and your pet. My line of communication is always open. I'll care for your pet like my own.
“Thank u for hanging out with them! And it looks like my long time regular tuxedo stray is back! So relieved to know he is alive after the winter storms! Do u mind filing up the metal food bowl in kitchen on floor near sink and fill up kibble from the boys container to go with the "smoothie" drink? And what is your venmo?”
“Brooke did a wonderful job with my pup. She gave me lots of feedback/updates and sent lots of pictures. Will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“I cannot tell you all how grateful I am for Abby. My AC went out while it was blazing hot out and my cat was overheating. She was able to take her at the last minute, which was such a blessing to us. Being at work and knowing that she was comfortable was huge relief. Not to mention the genuine care and attention that Abby gave my cat while staying in her home. 10/10 would book with her again!!!”
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including energetic puppies and older pets that need extra attention. I’m comfortable with administering medication, following specific routines, and making sure each pet feels safe and loved while their owner is away. I have a full time job, but want to do a little more by doing something that I enjoy doing. That is being around animals. I have a back yard with a fence and security for your pet. That way they will be able to exercise and explore under the sun.
About: Since childhood, I’ve had a love for anll animals. I’m a fun-loving pet sitter who will go above and beyond for your pup like no one else. I’m a fun-loving pet sitter who will go above and beyond for you animals like no one else. I keep pet parents updated with cute pics, walks, and happy tails while you’re away! I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time for walks and play time. I’m very flexible so if there’s something changed you need, let me know and we can work it out. I have a big fenced backyard where they can play with my dog, Benzie. If crate needed, I can easily do that. However, I prefer not to if they do not need it especially if I am home.
About: I'm willing to be flexible and work with you as much as I can. I understand that your fur babies are family members, and will treat them just like children. They are welcome in (and on) every part of my home, just like my own are. When your pet is in my care, I may also offer behavior training. Dog training is my passion, and I have trained two of my own service dogs. I have also studied dog behaviorism, and know how to recognize many important body-language cues that pups use to communicate with us. I believe that proper training is key to a cohesive relationship with any animal. I believe that each pet is incredibly valuable in their own way, and deserves to be treated with respect.

Riverside cat parents share their Rover experiences
Amanda was phenomenal. Mutombo warmed up to her right away. We did not get a chance to interact with our cat at the meet and greet. Yet you could tell that Tiger was happy to see Amanda. Amanda took some great footage of.the two of them. It was clear that Mutombo was happy to have her attention. My daughter loved seeing the cute pictures of Tiger. I really appreciate Amanda going above and beyond for our loved ones. She really has a way with animals.
Andrew did an excellent job taking care of my Kitty, Laci, and I would most definitely recommend him and will ask him back to take care of her in the future!!
Wonderfully attentive and great with cats! Stephanie communicated often and let us know the disposition and wellbeing of each of our cats. 5 star cat care :)
Petey was so helpful w my grumpy elder male cat. He cleaned up after him even when he spotted poo markings on a chair, and kept me up to date on how he was doing w his meds, poops (big part of his diabetes and elder cat needs) and spirit :) wish I could use him again in Nola but he'll be moving to OH! Good luck and thanks so much Petey!

Megan took great care of our cats while we were out of town. She sent tons of pictures and was great on communicating and updating me. Would love to have her pet sit again for us!
Felicia went above and beyond while checking in on our little dude! She played with him, brought in a few packages, and even went BACK to the house to put Factor meals in the freezer after they delivered/we forgot to cancel the delivery for that week. Will absolutely be using her services again in the future!!
