“Kaia was an excellent sitter for my cat. They were communicative and detailed in their notes throughout the entirety of the time I was gone which made leaving him alone for the first time much more comfortable. I would absolutely reccomend Kaia to anyone looking for a sitter, and they will be my first call if I need one again as well.”


“I would have left more than 5 stars if I could. Kayla is a wonderful human being before bein g a great pet sitter. She pet sitted our cat during our long trip overseas. She exceeded expectations. She truly cared for us and our cat. Kayla went above and beyond in every possible way, keeping us updated regularly, being attentive to every detail, and most importantly, showing so much love and care for our furry friend. Our pet clearly felt safe and happy, and we came home to a calm and well cared for companion. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”


About: I have worked with dogs since elementary school, when I started a dog walking business in my neighborhood to pay for summer camp. Friends, family members, and neighbors, have relied on me to do tasks as simple as stop in and feed their pets, to staying with their furry friends for extended periods of time. I have also grown up with Great Danes so I know how to handle extra large dogs! I am a college student who is off for summer break, so my schedule is completely open to care for your pets, whether thats a walk a few times a week or staying over at the house for a period of time. I don't offer boarding services since I rent the space I am living in and it does not allow pets. However, when it comes to services provided in the home of the pet, I will follow any directions that are given to me to my greatest ability!

“Danielle was excellent! She watched our cat while we were gone for the holidays and always made sure to give us continued updates on how our beloved Lily was doing and gave her plenty of love and attention. Danielle maintained consistent communication throughout the booking and pet sitting process and asked all the right questions to ensure she was thoroughly prepared to give our cat the best care possible. Thank you for your hard work Danielle! We will definitely be contacting you again if we need pet sitting in the future.”


“Kate is fantastic. She was thorough and thoughtful, and my cats love her! I was blown away by her patience and dedication with giving proper care for my cats as well as reassuring me and sending quality pics. I will happily book her again, and anyone reading this review will feel the same!”


“Emily was wonderful and did everything we asked. Our needy kitty was taken care of, I'm sure. Emily did a great job at confirming what our communication style was and then following through. We'd recommend & will happily request her again.”


“Lindsey was spot-on each visit and made us happy to see all the photos from each trip. She communicated with details and helped us modify our dates. Thanks for letting us book last minute and for being so sweet to our kitties!”


“Nadiya was an amazing Rover hire. She watched our tuxedo cat Simon or five day. Checked on him 2 times daily. Fed and socialized with him. Received great pics daily. Highly recommend her.”


“Emma did a great job with our 3 kitties while we were away for the holiday. She was very patient with our most shy kitten, sitting with her while she ate under the bed until eventually she warmed up to her. We got regular photo and video updates, which made being away from them a teeny bit easier. Emma was also clear about scheduling and key pick up/drop off was very easy. We will gladly recommend and book with her again!”


“Savanah came twice a day to feed and play with our kitties and clean their litter. Though Sissy and Rex are not used to people, she was able to get them to come to her and eat and play. She even spent extra time with them. The only issue was minor in that she left the lights on when she left a couple of times, which caused a neighbor to worry about someone being in the house at 3 am. Savanah cared for the cats very well and left the house as clean as she found it. She is a very competent young woman and we would like to be able to call on her again when we go out of town.”


“Alexandra was a wonderful house/pet sitter. My cat is very particular about strangers but she took to Alexandra right away. I got photo updates showing interactions and activities. I’m very pleased and will use Alexandra’s services again in the future. Definitely recommend!”


About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter with nearly five years of caring for other people’s furry family members in both my home and theirs. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life—currently I share my home (and my couch) with my 7-year-old black Lab. He has asthma, so I do have experience at pet meds and inhalers—nurse, treat dispenser, and belly rub specialist all in one. Your dog will get daily walks (because mine says it’s non-negotiable), plus all the sniffing, playing, and cuddling they can handle. I’ll also send you photo updates so you can see them living their best vacation life while you’re away. Think of me as their second favorite human—right after you, of course! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and am available most weekends, so your pup will have round the clock care during those hours. Your dog will get daily walks (because mine says it’s non-negotiable), plus all the sniffing, playing, and cuddling they can handle. I have a black lab who has asthma, so I do have experience at pet meds and inhalers. Your dog will get daily walks during their stay with us. I am a helicopter pet parent so I insist on sending you photo updates while you’re away.

About: Extensive experience in puppy care and senior/special needs animal care spans several years. I have supervised the upbringing and development of puppies, including providing assistance with medication administration and potty training. Additionally, I have supported the medication regimen and physical therapy for senior and special needs dogs. My overall experience in puppy/dog care spans seven years, and I have had dogs as companions throughout my life. Currently working Monday - Friday, free after 3:30 weekdays for boarding of sitting in the evenings. Weekends open all day for boarding or sitting as well. Pet care fits well into current schedule with our own dogs; scheduled activities during the week but open for adventures on the weekend. Large backyard on a quiet street; lots of room for walks to local parks or fetch in the yard. House is stair free for elderly or dogs with medical restrictions. Adaptable to any situation as needed!

“First time booking with Christine and her reviews are spot on! I'll echo what everyone else says in that she was very reliable, trustworthy, personable and took great care of my place. In addition to that, my apt experienced a substantial leak while I was away and she took total control of the situation. She coordinated with my bldg manager and plumbers as well as taking care of the pets while new people were in and out the entire time. I will definitely be looking to book her again!”

Alyssa was amazing and took great care of our two kitties. She was responsive and trustworthy. We really appreciated the detailed notes after each visit and the pictures of our pets. She will definitely be our top choice next time we need a pet sitter. Thanks!

I’m so grateful for Hannah! She has such a calm and gentle energy that shows in her care for your pet. She goes above and beyond and I highly recommend her service. She doesn’t just stop in for a visit, she truly cares and it shows. Thank you, Hannah for giving me the confidence that all is well back home so I can enjoy my time away. You are appreciated!
