“Rob was absolutely amazing. I am not an eloquent enough writer to truly express my appreciation of just how great he was caring for our kitties. He went out of his way to ensure we always had peace of mind. He was above and beyond on every level over the week that we were away. If you are considering hiring Rob just know you do not need to worry. From his communication to the personal connection he makes with the animals are beyond what you could expect from a service. I really believe he cares about what he is doing. It’s not just a side job. He really has a love for animals and understands the importance of the service. He always answers right away if you have a question or a concern. Never once did we have any worries about our pets while on the cruise. He did far more than required and I recommend him highly. Thank you Rob for everything! If the app would let me we would give you 10 stars.”
“Heather was super responsive and did a fantastic job taking care of my shy kitty Cleo. She even took the time to try and get her to play every day. I would definitely book Heather again!”
“Super easy to book with and our kitties had a great time! Would definitely recommend - Anthony was prompt and courteous and really easy to communicate with. Thank you so much!”
About: Hello! My name is Emily, and I'm a pet sitter with a passion for animals of all shapes and sizes. I have been caring for pets for several years, and I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for your furry friends while you're away. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I always treat them with the respect and care they deserve. I am reliable, responsible, and always go the extra mile to ensure that your pet is happy and healthy while in my care. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your fur baby! I am a Registered Nurse who works night shift three days a week so I am pretty flexible with my schedule. I'm sure we will be able to work out a time for both of us. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I am comfortable administering medications, following special dietary requirements, and handling any other specific needs your pet may have. I am dedicated to providing the highest level of care for your pet and ensuring that they receive the love and attention they deserve while you're away.
“Jocelyn took such great care of Mochi while we were away. She spent plenty of time making sure she ate, had some treats and had lots of playtime each visit. I would definitely rebook with her and recommend her services to anyone else in need!”
“Brandie checked in on our cat, Max, for four days last week. She did an outstanding job taking care of Max! It was nice to know he was in great care with her and we didn't have to worry about him. We won't hesitate to use Brandie again on future trips.”
“This is our second time working with Gwynn. And as before Sully is very happy to have play time and belly rubs! Gwynn has met watson for the first time and is a happy pup as well! Thank you Gwynn!”
“Kaitlyn was able to accommodate a last minute request for us which was super helpful. She was right on time, followed our instructions & looks like our pup had a great time with her.”
About: I’m an animal lover! I not only grew up with several pets including cats, dogs, fish, parakeets, & hermit crabs - but I now have two cats and two dogs of my own. I know how difficult it can be to find someone to check on your pets when you’re in a bind. That’s why I decided to reactivate this account, to help others out! Pet services give me the pleasure of working with animals while helping out the owner. I enjoy running, walking, hiking, and play time, as well as just relaxing with animals. I treat every pet as if it were my own, with love and care. Availability : Mondays = After 5pm Tuesdays / Wednesdays / Thursdays = 12-1pm & After 4:30pm Fridays = After 3:30pm Saturdays & Sunday’s = Open I treat all animals as if they were my own which includes patience, love, affection, and gentleness. I’m also accommodating to their specific mannerisms such as high energy, size, disability, etc.
“Danielle has done a wonderful job of caring for our kitties when we are out of town. I feel better knowing she is there to give them snuggles when we can’t . We will continue to have Danielle visit when we are out of town.”

“Fantastic experience! Nicole provided wonderful care for my cat. I especially appreciated her expertise in administering medication. Going above and beyond, she even grabbed a delivery from my porch and placed it inside for me. Truly a top-notch and trustworthy sitter!”
About: I've had dogs all throughout my life, currently I have a German Shepherd and I recently adopted a Golden Retriever puppy. I've worked in the pet care field in the past as well, and I am comfortable taking care of dogs of any age. I have no issue providing any necessary medication for an elderly pup either. I'm currently available 24/7 for pet care. I keep my pets crated overnight, so I would prefer crate trained pups for any boarding visits, but I am open to discussion on the matter. I do not have a fenced in yard (yet) but I do have a lead in my back yard so your fur babies will have a safe place to go potty and get some exercise. I also have 2 friendly pups for them to play with.
About: I have been dog sitting/own dogs since the age of 16. I am a huge animal lover and treat all animals as if they’re like a child. Love them all! I currently work a corporate job, so I would be at work the hours of 8-5. I work a hybrid schedule so I am home 2/5 days all day as well. It is flexible and I can work around schedules as well. I am off the weekends as well! I have a ton of grass around my apartment, plenty of toys. And plenty of love to offer to all animals! I also am a available to go to the house to watch as well!
“Lindsey, her husband Bobby and the whole family from the meet and greet on were wonderful. It’s the first time I had to get a sitter that wasn’t family or a friend, so I was nervous, and I’m just a nervous dog mom in general. But the whole time they kept me updated and reassured me the whole time I was away. I will definitely be booking again if needed! Thank you all so much for taking such great care of my fur babies.”

Robert took excellent care of our three kitties. This was our first time to use Rover and we were apprehensive about having someone come into our home, but our experience with Robert put our minds at ease. It was clear upon meeting him that he has a love for animals. He communicated daily and sent photos along with daily updates. We were pleased to find someone who was professional and worked with integrity. We will definitely have Robert take care of our kitties again!
