Nick was great with our cat Delilah! He was very professional and came and met her ahead of time. She was very comfortable with him as we saw through many cute photos! We would definitely book with Nick again.

Tommy was wonderful with our two cats. They were especially patient with our elderly cat who needed more time to eat. They took their time feeding and playing with the cats, made sure the doors were locked, and were kind enough to bring in any packages that were delivered when we were gone. Would definitely contact again next time we need a sitter.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up surrounded by both cats and dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets. I’m comfortable with everything from long walks and runs to administering oral medication and supporting more specialized care routines. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets for neighbors, friends, and families, and I currently work as an experienced sitter on Wag. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just a calm and caring presence, I’ve got it covered. I’ll treat your pet like my own, and keep you updated every step of the way. I work full time, but I have a flexible schedule and often work remotely, which allows me to incorporate pet care naturally into my day. I’m able to stop in for visits, check-ins, feedings, and playtime throughout the day, and I’m especially mindful of maintaining consistent routines for the pets I care for. Pet care is already part of my daily life as a cat owner, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter care, and quality time. I’m reliable, communicative, and make sure each visit is thoughtful and unhurried. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as consistent and low-stress as possible, whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules, maintaining clean litter boxes, or ensuring dogs get the walks, exercise, and attention they’re used to. With cats, I’m especially mindful of their comfort and boundaries. I take time to build trust, read their cues, and create a calm presence, whether they want to play, cuddle, or just coexist. For dogs, I bring a reliable and attentive energy, making sure they get safe, engaging walks and plenty of care and attention. I’m comfortable administering oral medication, following detailed care instructions, and handling pets of all ages and temperaments. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for. At home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment. As a pet owner myself, I prioritize safety, routine, and making sure every animal feels comfortable and cared for.

About: Hey hey! My name's Victoria, but friends call me Rev. I moved here a couple of years ago now from Georgia, began pet sitting in April 2024, and it's currently my full-time job! I've been fascinated with animals since a young age, with about ~17 years of experience, mainly with cats. As I've gotten older, I've fallen in love with the human-animal bond, and have become passionate about their care and respecting each one the way they deserve. Regardless of your pet's personality, preferences, or needs, I'm excited to meet, care, and accommodate your little darling with the same love as you would! I hope to hear from you soon 😊! As this is my full-time job, I'm capable of prioritizing my schedule to work for you and your sweetheart(s). I'm always sure to communicate if something may come up during your booking, such as other gigs or obligations outside of work, that way there's total clarity on where and when I'll be in relation to your pet(s). If you're not sure, please feel welcome to ask! If I can fit them into my schedule, even on short-notice or alongside another sweetie, I'm more than happy to see what I can do. I've got the kind of guest attitude you can expect from a typical Southerner! I take the care of another's space very seriously, doing my best to leave things as I found them, and due to a background in housekeeping it's not uncommon for me to do some cleaning before I leave. You can trust to come back to your home just as you left it, if not with less dust than before!

Ainsley was absolutely amazing. She was willing to change to 2 visits a day at short notice when our cat needed to have antibiotics while we were away, and she managed to give her liquid medicine, which is no small feat! We were so impressed with her communication and professionalism, and if she'll have us, we'll definitely book with her again!

About: I provide dependable, high-touch pet care with a strong focus on safety, structure, and communication. With years of experience caring for dogs through personal, family, and friend settings, I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, overnight stays, and keeping pets calm and happy in their normal routine. My hospitality management background means I bring a professional, service-first mindset to every booking, including timely updates and photo check-ins. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my weekly routine because I intentionally build my schedule around being dependable and on time. I’m very organized and make sure each booking has dedicated time for walks, feeding, play, and updates so every pet receives focused attention and consistency. My routine allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and flexible weekend availability. Safety, trust, and consistency are my top priorities in both my home and my client’s home. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, triggers, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before every booking so I can keep their environment as familiar and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow all routines exactly as requested, including walks, feeding times, medications, crate use, and house rules. I always double-check doors, leashes, gates, and entry points to ensure pets remain secure at all times. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, calm, pet-safe environment with plenty of supervision, fresh water, safe spaces to rest, and structured play and potty breaks. I avoid exposing pets to unsafe foods, objects, or stressful situations and make sure they are never left unattended in a way that could put them at risk. I also provide regular updates and photo check-ins so pet parents always know their pet is safe, happy, and receiving attentive care.

This was our first time using Rover and we just can’t say enough about Molly’s care for our 2 cats. She really exceeded all expectations that we had! She was very communicative, kind, prompt (both her scheduled visits and responding to calls/texts). What I appreciated most was her attention to detail- she noticed that my cat hadn’t pooped in a couple of days and alerted me right away. She also easily gave one cat a medication she needed to help calm her nerves. I’d recommend her pet care to anyone, and we hope to have her take care of our cats again sometime soon!

Katherine was attentive, communicative and overall very experienced with animals! She sent pictures and followed all our directions. She even went above and beyond by leaving ice cubes in our cats’ water because it was a hot day - such a nice touch. We have a super shy cat who usually doesn’t come out of hiding for strangers but he was out and about with Katherine! Will be hiring her again.
